Effects of Ca2+ initial concentration on Cu2+ selective adsorption from aqueous solution by modified sugarcane bagasse under batch and column condition

This study investigated the chemical modification method by citric acid and its enhancement effect on the adsorption capacity of sugarcane bagasse (SB) for copper removal from aqueous solution. Characterization studies were performed by using Fourier transform infra red (FTIR), which showed the introduction of carboxylic group in the structure the modified sugarcane bagasse (MSB). Batch study revealed the influence of pH, time, initial concentration of metal ion on adsorption capacity. The data showed an extremely good fit to Langmuir isotherm model from which the maximum adsorption capacity estimated reached 28.17 mg/g at optimum pH 5.5. Fixed bed column study using the adsorbent MSB confirmed that the breakthrough curves of the adsorption processes were de- pendent on bed height, initial concentration and flow rate. Linear regression analysis of the data demonstrated that Yoon-Nelson kinetic models were appropriate to explain the breakthrough curves.

The aim of this study is to use the dry fibers of date palm as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution by fluidized bed column. The effects of many operating conditions such as superficial velocity, static bed height, and initial concentration on the removal efficiency of metal ions were investigated. FTIR analyses clarified that hydroxyl, amine and carboxyl groups could be very effective for bio-sorption of these heavy metal ions. SEM images showed that dry fibers of date palm have a high porosity and that metal ions can be trapped and sorbed into pores. The results show that a bed height of 6 cm, velocity of 1.1Umf and initial concentration for each heavy metal ions of 50 mg/L are most feasible and give high removal efficiency. The fluidized bed reactor was modeled using ideal plug flow and this model was solved numerically by utilizing the MATLAB software for fitting the measured breakthrough results. The breakthrough curves for metal ions gave the order of bio-sorption capacity as follow: Cd(II)]Ni(II).

The photocatalytic activity of Nanopillars-TiO2 thin films was assessed in the degradation of Bromophenol blue (BPB) dye from aqueous solution under batch reactor operations. The thin films were characterized by the XRD, SEM and AFM analytical methods. BET specific surface area and pore sizes were also obtained. The XRD data showed anatase phase of TiO2 particles with average particle size of 25.4 and 21.9 nm, for S1 and S2 catalysts respectively. The SEM and AFM images indicated the catalyst composed with Nanosized pillars of TiO2, evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate. The average height of the pillars was found to be 180 and 40 nm respectively for the S1 and S2 catalyst. The BET specific surface area and pore sizes of S1 and S2 catalyst were found to be 5.217 and 1.420 m2/g and 7.77 and 4.16 nm respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of BPB using the UV light was studied at wide range of physico-chemical parametric studies to determine the mechanism of degradation as well as the practical applicability of the technique. The batch reactor operations were conducted at varied pH (pH 4.0 to 10.0), BPB initial concentration (1.0 to 20.0 mg/L) and presence of several interfering ions, i.e., cadmium nitrate, copper sulfate, zinc chloride, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, glycine, oxalic acid and EDTA in the photocatalytic degradation of BPB. The maximum percent removal of BPB was observed at pH 6.0 and a low initial concentration of the pollutant highly favours the photocatalytic degradation using thin films. The presence of several interfering ions suppressed the photocatalytic activity of thin films to some extent. The time dependence photocatalytic degradation of BPB was demonstrated with the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. Study was further extended with total organic carbon measurement using the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analysis. This demonstrated an apparent mineralization of BPB from aqueous solutions.

New cryogels for selective dye removal from aqueous solution were prepared by free radical polymerization from the highly water-soluble crosslinker N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-N,N’-bis(2-ethylmethacrylate)-propyl-1,3-diammonium dibromide and the sulfobetaine monomer 2-(N-3-sulfopropyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium)ethyl methacrylate. The resulting white and opaque cryogels have micrometer sized pores with a smaller substructure. They adsorb methyl orange (MO) but not methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Mixtures of MO and MB can be separated through selective adsorption of the MO to the cryogels while the MB remains in solution. The resulting cryogels are thus candidates for the removal of hazardous organic substances, as exemplified by MO and MB, from water. Clearly, it is possible that the cryogels are also potentially interesting for removal of other compounds such as pharmaceuticals or pesticides, but this must be investigated further.

Bagasse Waste

Abstract Sugarcane bagasse waste biomass (SBWB) efficacy for the adsorption of Zr(IV) was investigated in batch and column modes. The process variables i.e. pH 1–4 (A), adsorbent dosage 0.0–0.3 g (B), and Zr(IV) ions initial concentration 25–200 mg/L (C) were studied. The experiments were run under central composite design (CCD) and data was analysed by response surface methodology (RSM) methodology. The factor A, B, C, AB interaction and square factor A2, C2 affected the Zr(IV) ions adsorption onto SBWB. The quadratic model fitted well to the adsorption data with high R2 values. The effect of bed height, flow rate and Zr(IV) ions initial concentration was also studied for column mode adsorption and efficiency was evaluated by breakthrough curves as well as Bed Depth Service and Thomas models. Bed height and Zr(IV) ions initial concentration enhanced the adsorption of capacity of Zr(IV) ions, whereas flow rate reduced the column efficiency.

Treatment Procedures

Abstract In order to reduce the level of dithiocarbamate fungicide mancozeb residues in blackcurrants, two different ozone treatment procedures were evaluated. The first one entailed washing the plant material with an aqueous solution of ozone. This ozone enriched water solution allowed for a 59% reduction of mancozeb residues, compared with the initial concentration. The latter method was based on the utilization of ozone in a gaseous phase combined with a drying process. In that procedure, samples of blackcurrant fruit were exposed to a 19 ppm ozone concentration, and then the blackcurrants were dried. The utilization of ozone in a gaseous phase permitted a 38% reduction of mancozeb residues, in comparison with the initial concentration. As a result of the combination of both processes; ozonation and drying, a 58% reduction of mancozeb residues was achieved.
