In this work, three kinds of hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite (PAMAM-Pal) were designed and synthesized by grafting the first generation polyamidoamine (G1.0 PAMAM), G2.0 PAMAM and G3.0 PAMAM onto Pal surfaces, respectively. Then, these PAMAM-Pals were used as additives to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite bicomponent composite membranes. The structures of the composite membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of composite membranes to heavy metal ions was studied, and the results found that the maximum adsorption capacities for Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) could reach 155.19 mg/g, 124.28 mg/g and 125.55 mg/g, respectively, for the PVDF/G3.0 PAMAM-Pal membrane, while only 23.70 mg/g, 17.74 mg/g and 14.87 mg/g could be obtained for unmodified membranes in the same conditions. The high adsorption capacity can be ascribed to the large number of amine-terminated groups, amide groups and carbonyl groups of the composite membrane. The above results indicated that the prepared composite membrane has a high adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions removal in water treatment.

Adsorption study of the adsorption of heavy metal ions from Fe (III) using sago dregs waste was carried out. adsorption was carried out in batches, with the mass of adsorbent is 1 g and the concentration of Fe (III) ion is 10 ppm. in this study variations in contact time were 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes to determine the kinetic suitable for the adsorption process of ion Fe (III) and the capacity and efficiency of sago dregs adsorption. The results showed that the adsorption of ion fe (III) using sago dregs followed pseudo second-order kinetics with R2 values that were closer to 1 that is 0,9651. adsorption of ion Fe (III) at optimum contact time of 90 minutes with adsorbent mass of 1 g obtained by adsorption capacity 0,3211 mg/g and the adsorption efficiency is 64,2%.

The adsorption capacity of synthetic NaX zeolite for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ in single and multi-component systems were investigated. The effects of electronegativity and hydration energy on the selective adsorption, as well as potential selective adsorption mechanism of the NaX zeolite for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were also discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity order of the heavy metals in the single system was Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+, and this could be related to their hydration energy and electronegativity. The values of the separation factors (α) and affinity constant (KEL) in different binary systems indicated that Pb2+ was preferentially adsorbed, and Zn2+ presented the lowest affinity for NaX zeolite. The selective adsorption capacities of the metals were in the order, Pb2+ > Cd2+ ≈ Cu2+ > Zn2+. The trend for the selective adsorption of NaX zeolite in ternary and quaternary systems was consistent with that in the binary systems. Pb2+ and Cu2+ reduced the stability of the Si-O-Al bonds and the double six-membered rings in the NaX framework, due to the high electronegativity of Pb2+ and Cu2+ than that of Al3+. The selective adsorption mechanism of NaX zeolite for the high electronegative metal ions could mainly result from the negatively charged O in the Si-O-Al structure of the NaX zeolite, hence heavy metal ions with high electronegativity display a strong affinity for the electron cloud of the oxygen atoms in the Si-O-Al. This study could evaluate the application and efficiency of zeolite in separating and recovering certain metal ions from industrial wastewater.

The growth of industry fulfills our necessity and promotes economic development. However, pollutants from such industries pollute water bodies which pose a high risk for living organisms. Thus, researchers have been urged to develop an efficient method to remove toxic heavy metal ions from water bodies. The adsorption method shows promising results for the removal of heavy metal ions and is easy to operate on a large scale, thus can be applied to practical applications. Numerous adsorbents were developed and reported, among them hydrogels, which attract great attention because of the reusability, ease of preparation, and handling. Hydrogels are generally prepared by the cross-linking of polymers that result in a three-dimensional structure, showing high porosity and high functionality. They are hydrophilic in nature because of the functional groups, and are non-toxic. Thus, this review provides various methods of hydrogel adsorbents preparation and summarizes recent progress in the use of hydrogel adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions. Further, the mechanism involved in the removal of heavy metal ions is briefly discussed. The most recent studies about the adsorption method for the treatment of heavy metal ions contaminated water are presented.

Abstract This review is based on the adsorption characteristics of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) for removal of heavy metals from aqueous media. Different parameters like pH, temperature of the medium, sorghum concentration, sorghum particle size, contact time, stirring speed and heavy metal concentration control the adsorption efficiency of sorghum biomass for heavy metal ions. Sorghum biomass showed maximum efficiency for removal of heavy metal ions in the pH range of 5 to 6. It is an agricultural waste and is regarded as the cheapest biosorbent, having high adsorption capacity for heavy metals as compared to other reported adsorbents, for the treatment of heavy metal polluted wastewater. Adsorption of heavy metal ions onto sorghum biomass follows pseudo second order kinetics. Best fitted adsorption isotherm models for removal of heavy metal ions on sorghum biomass are Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. Thermodynamic aspects of heavy metal ions adsorption onto sorghum biomass have also been elaborated in this review article. How adsorption efficiency of sorghum biomass can be improved by different physical and chemical treatments in future has also been elaborated. This review article will be highly useful for researchers working in the field of water treatment via biosorption processing. The quantitative demonstrated efficiency of sorghum biomass for various heavy metal ions has also been highlighted in different sections of this review article.
