Lack of stringent policies requiring water treatment facilities to combat occurrence of residual antibiotics in effluents critically impairs the resiliency of low-income communities to drug-resistant pathogens. In an attempt to mitigate the effects of residual drugs in aqueous media, we investigate the extent to which rice husk ash (RHA) functionalized by Moringaoleifera protein (MOP) sequestrates amoxicillin in solution. A semi-factorial design was implemented to evaluate the influence of initial amoxicillin concentration, initial MOP functionalized RHA dosage, and contact time on the removal on amoxicillin in water. Results of our experiments have shown that MOP functionalization enhanced RHA by doubling its rate to sequestrate amoxicillin molecules in solution. This strongly indicated that MOP adhered on the surface of RHA significantly improved its capacity to remove amoxicillin contamination in aqueous solution. Statistical analysis employed further supported our results by implying a significant difference between the performance of MOP-functionalized and bare RHA. In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that MOP functionalization can be a potential practical solution to alleviate the vulnerability of communities to emerging antibiotic pollution.

In this investigation, adsorption of cyanide has been studied by means of batch-technique. Percentage adsorption was determined for Rice Husk Ash (RHA)-Cyanide solution system as a function of i) contact time, ii) pH, iii) adsorbate concentration and iv) temperature. Adsorption data has been interpreted in terms of Freundlich and Langmuir equations. Thermodynamics parameters for the adsorption system have been determined at three different temperatures. The value of ΔH°=38.326KJ/mole and ΔG°=-6.117KJ/mole at 283°K suggest that the adsorption of cyanide on RHA is an endothermic and a spontaneous process.Key words: Cyanide; Rice husk ash (RHA); Adsorption Isotherms DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v46i1.3524 Bangladesh J.

AbstractThe present study investigates the removal of copper ions (Cu (II)) from aqueous solution using chemically treated rice husk (TRH). The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (Dad), initial Cu (II) concentration ([Cu]i), and temperature (T) on the percentage removals of Cu (II) (%RCu) were investigated. Different analytical techniques (FTIR, SEM, and EDX) were used to confirm the adsorption (ads) of Cu (II) onto the TRH. The ads kinetics was tested against pseudo-first-order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order (PSO) models as well as Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Treating RH with NaOH altered the surface and functional groups, and on the surface of RH, the ionic ligands with high electro-attraction to Cu increased and thus improved the removal efficiency. The %RCu decreased by increasing the [Cu]i and increased by increasing the ct, Dad, and T. Up to 97% Cu removal was achieved in ct of 30 min using Dad of 0.3 g [Cu]i of 25 mg L−1 and T = 280 K. The ads of Cu on TRH is endothermic, spontaneous, follows Langmuir isotherms, and exhibited a PSO kinetics. Moreover, the TRH was successfully regenerated and used for further adsorption cycles using 1 M HNO3.

Abstract Phenol and its derivatives are organic pollutants with dangerous effects, such as poisoning, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity in humans and other organisms. In this study, the removal of phenol from aqueous solution by adsorption on silica and activated carbon of rice husk was investigated. In this regard, the effects of initial concentration of phenol, pH, dosage of the adsorbents, and contact time on the adsorption of phenol were investigated. The results showed that the maximum removal of phenol by rice husk silica (RHS) and rice husk activated carbon (RHAC) in the initial concentration of 1 mgL−1 phenol, 2 gL−1 adsorbent mass, 120 min contact time, and pH 5 (RHS) or pH 6 (RHAC) were obtained up to 91% and 97.88%, respectively. A significant correlation was also detected between increasing contact times and phenol removal for both adsorbents (p < 0.01). The adsorption process for both of the adsorbents was also more compatible with the Langmuir isotherm. The results of this study showed that RHS and RHAC can be considered as natural and inexpensive adsorbents for water treatment.
