Biochars (BC) of spent coffee grounds, both pristine (SCBC) and impregnated with titanium oxide (TiO2@SCBC) were exploited as environmentally friendly and economical sorbents for the fluroquinolone antibiotic balofloxacin (BALX). Surface morphology, functional moieties, and thermal stabilities of both adsorbents were scrutinized using SEM, EDS, TEM, BET, FTIR, Raman, and TG/dT analyses. BET analysis indicated that the impregnation with TiO2 has increased the surface area (50.54 m2/g) and decreased the pore size and volume. Batch adsorption experiments were completed in lights of the experimental set-up of Plackett-Burman design (PBD). Two responses were maximized; the % removal (%R) and the adsorption capacity (qe, mg/g) as a function of four variables: pH, adsorbent dosage (AD), BALX concentration ([BALX]), and contact time (CT). %R of 68.34% and 91.78% were accomplished using the pristine and TiO2@SCBC, respectively. Equilibrium isotherms indicated that Freundlich model was of a perfect fit for adsorption of BALX onto both adsorbents. Maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 142.55 mg/g for SCBC and 196.73 mg/g for the TiO2@SCBC. Kinetics of the adsorption process were best demonstrated using the pseudo-second order (PSO) model. The adsorption-desorption studies showed that both adsorbents could be restored with the adsorption efficiency being conserved up to 66.32% after the fifth cycles.

In this work, ginger straw waste-derived porous carbons, with high adsorption capacity, high adsorption rate, and good reusability for removing the toxic dye of methylene blue from wastewater, were prepared by a facile method under oxygen-limiting conditions. This study opens a new approach for the utilization of ginger straw waste, and the porous materials can be employed as great potential adsorbents for treating dye wastewater.

The waste ion-exchange resin–based activated carbon (WIRAC) was utilized for CO2 adsorption. The effect of adsorption temperature, gas flow, CO2 concentration, and adsorbent filling content on CO2 adsorption properties of WIRAC and the effect of desorption temperature and sweep gas flow on CO2 desorption performances of WIRAC were researched. In the adsorption process, with the increase of adsorption temperature, the CO2 adsorption capacity and adsorption rate decrease; as the gas flow increases, the CO2 adsorption capacity decreases, but the adsorption rate increases; with the increase of CO2 concentration and adsorbent filling content, the CO2 adsorption capacity and adsorption rate both increase. In the desorption process, the higher the desorption temperature and the smaller the sweep gas flow, the higher the CO2 purity of product gas and the longer the desorption time. In order to make sure the adsorbent be used efficiently and the higher CO2 concentration of product gas, the adsorption and desorption conditions selected should be a suitable choice.
