In the article presented the data on the possibility of using crushed pine nutshell to extract methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. In Russia, in Siberia, located up to 80% of the world's reserves of Siberian cedar pine. Up to 12 million tons of pine nuts can be acquired annually, when processed into kernels or cedar oil, pine nut shell is formed as a waste, representing 51-59% of the nut weight itself. Despite proposed technological options for usage of pine nutshells, the issue of disposal of this material has not been fully resolved. One of the alternative options for the disposal of pine shells is obtaining sorption material for the extraction of pollutants from aqueous media. To improve the cleaning efficiency, the pine shell was treated with 10% NaOH solution. It was found that processing pine nutshells with 10% NaOH solution for 5 minutes at a temperature of 25 °C gives an improvement in cleaningefficiency of 96%, and an increase in the temperature of NaOH solution up to 97%. The recommended particle size of the pine nuts shell is less than 2 mm.

<p>Activation is one of the processes by which are mostly done to improve the quality of natural zeolite. Activation process by zeolite will change the ratio of the Si/Al and can increase the formation of empty cavities so that the capability of zeolite as an adsorbent be optimal. In this research, natural zeolite from the district of Ende, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Activation Ende natural zeolite done chemically using HCl and NaOH solution, with variations concentrate 0,5 M; 1,5 M; and 3,0 M. Next, zeolite which has activated used to adsorb dye methylene blue. Based on the research results, chemically of activation from natural zeolite can increase the adsorption capacity to substance methylene blue. The adsorption capacity in the Ende natural and after activation is 17,289 mg/g and 19,98 mg/g respectively. The Langmuir model most closely matched the isothermal adsorption of equilibrium process.</p>

The results of the use of thermally modified kieselguhr sludge from the production of vegetable oils (TKSH500) of the initial and activated with a 30 % solution of nitric acid (TKSH500k) and 1M sodium hydroxide solution (TKSH500sh) for purification of model solutions from the dye methylene blue (MB) are presented. The maximum activating effect was achieved as a result of acid treatment, which leads to a 38 % increase in the total acidity of the sorption material in comparison with the initial one. It is shown that the sorption isotherms of the dye on the initial and activated samples of TKSH500 have an S-shaped form. In the region of low dye concentrations, a monolayer is formed; with an increase in the dye content, sorption becomes polymolecular. Analysis of the IR spectra of sorption materials after adsorption of the MB dye showed a shift to the low-frequency region of the positions of the bands in the regions corresponding to the vibrations of the O–H and C = O bonds, which indicates the ionization of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups present in the sorption materials, and the formation of a bond between them and the MB molecule.

Background: Due to an abrupt increase in the contamination of freshwater systems by dye-containing wastewater, there is an urgent need to find robust and greener adsorbents for the elimination of dyes from the contaminated water. As the dyes not only change the appearance of water but are also a cause of many serious problems, which can be some time mutagenic and carcinogenic. Methods: This research paper is based on the use of adsorbent made from the peel of jackfruit (POJ). The adsorbent derived from agriculture waste was low cost and efficient for the elimination of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous media. Batch adsorption experiments were accompanied by varying the pH of the solution, contact time, POJ dosage, and initial MB concentration. Results: It was seen that adsorption of MB onto Jackfruit peel adsorbent follows pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics and Langmuir isotherm with maximum biosorption capacity (qm) of 232.55 mg/g. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic, and associated with the rise in entropy. Conclusion: In view of the low-cost and promising adsorption efficiency, the present investigation submits that that POJ is novel and economically feasible adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

The comparative adsorption capacity of graphene aerogel and activated coconut carbon in the process of removing the main cationic synthetic dye, methylene blue (MB), from aqueous solutions with an initial concentration of 150 mg/l was investigated. The characteristics of the new material have been determined using scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and Raman spectroscopy. The values of the adsorption capacity of graphene aerogel – 420 mg/g and activated carbon – 205 mg/g were established. The saturation time in the presence of graphene aerogel was 7 min. The experimental data were processed using kinetic models – pseudo-first and pseudo-second order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion. According to the results obtained, graphene aerogel is a promising sorption material in the extraction of molecular organic pollutants, namely, synthetic dyes, demonstrating a high efficiency of the target pollutant removal.

Óxidos com estrutura perovskita são alvo de importantes estudos, pois são materiais versáteis que apresentam aplicações magnéticas, elétricas, ópticas, catalíticas, adsortivas, entre outras, e também são facilmente sintetizados. Essas aplicações são potencialmente influenciadas pelo método de síntese e, nesse sentido, diversos métodos têm sido utilizados na preparação desses materiais, a fim de otimizar suas características e propriedades. No presente trabalho, materiais do tipo LaNiO3 com estrutura perovskita foram preparados a partir dos seguintes métodos: proteíco modificada usando gelatina como agente complexante, mecanossíntese e método de combustão em placa de aquecimento e microondas. Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados por técnicas físico-químicas e avaliados como adsorventes para a remoção do corante azul de metileno em meio aquoso. Todos os materiais apresentaram potencial de remoção do corante do meio, com destaque para o material obtido por mecanossíntese, que apresentou maior eficiência de descoloração do corante. Após os testes de remoção do corante, a estrutura da perovskita foi preservada e o adsorvente foi reutilizado após ser submetido à calcinação a 900 °C quando ocorreu a degradação simultânea do corante previamente adsorvido. Os materiais reaproveitados ainda apresentavam alto potencial de remoção de corantes.
