Carbon dioxide is believed to be a major greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to global warming. In this study, palm shells were used as a precursor to prepare CO2 activated carbon sorbents via carbonization, chemical impregnation with K2CO3 and microwave activation.  Adsorption equilibrium data for CO2 adsorption on the porous carbon were obtained at different temperatures using static volumetric adsorption method. Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Toths models were used to correlate the experimental data. The CO2 adsorption capacity at 303.15, 343.15, 378.15 443.15 K and 1 bar on the sorbent was 2.71, 1.5, 0.77, 0.69 mmol/g respectively. Sips isotherm was found to have the best fit. The results indicated that the porous carbon sorbent prepared by carbonization and microwave K2CO3 assisted activation have good CO2 uptake. The porous carbons produced are therefore good candidates for CO2 adsorption applications

This work explores the potential of adsorption of Pb2+ by hydrothermally synthesized alumina. In comparison to other heavy ion removal techniques, adsorption is preferred in the current study as it has the edge of ease of operation and environment friendly characteristics. Synthesis of high surface area alumina whiskers was achieved by hydrothermal route which were subsequently employed for the active adsorption of lead ions. AACH (Ammonium Aluminum Carbonate Hydroxide), used as precursor for alumina, was calcined at three different temperatures i.e. 700, 900 and 1100 °C to form alumina whiskers. These whiskers were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and FTIR. Various adsorption parameters such as contact time, pH, initial metal concentration were studied for lead ions. Maximal removal efficiency was obtained for the specimen having pH 4 and calcined at 700 °C for 60 minutes. Kinetic data was best described by pseudo second order model, whereas the adsorption equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model.

In the modern industrial separation process, the pressure swing adsorption technology is widely used to separate and purify gases due to its low energy consumption, low cost, convenience, reliability, and environmental benignity. The basic elements of the design and application of the pressure swing adsorption process are adsorption isotherms at different temperatures for adsorbents. The dual-site Langmuir (DSL) adsorption equilibrium model is the mostly used model; however, this model is based on the assumption that the adsorption energy on the surface of an adsorbent is uniform and remains unchanged. Here, a grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) molecular simulation was used to calculate the CO2 adsorption equilibrium on MIL-101 (Cr) at 298 K. MIL-101 (Cr) was chosen, as it has more a general pore structure with three different pores. The calculation results showed that the adsorption energies with different adsorption pressures fitted a normal distribution and the relationship of the average adsorption energies, E with pressures had a linear form described as: E = aP + c. With this relationship, the parameter b = k·exp(E/RT) in the DSL model was modified to b = k·exp((aP + c)/RT), and the modified DSL model (M-DSL) was used to correlate the adsorption equilibrium data on CO2-MIL-101 (Cr), C2H4-HHPAC, CH4-BPL, and CO2-H-Mordenite, showing better correlations than those of the DSL model. We also extended the parameter qm in the M-DSL model with the equation qm = k1 + k2T to adsorption equilibrium data for different temperatures. The obtained model (M-TDSL) was checked with the abovementioned adsorption equilibrium systems. The fitting results also indicated that the M-TDSL model could be used to improve the correlation of adsorption equilibrium data for different temperatures. The linear relationship between the average adsorption energy and adsorption pressure could be further tested in other adsorption equilibrium models to determine its universality.

In this work, we report the preparation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based activated carbon nanofibers composited with different concentrations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO/ACNF) (1%, 5%, and 10% relative to PAN weight) by a simple electrospinning method. The electrospun nanofibers (NFs) were carbonized and physically activated to obtain activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs). Texture, surface and elemental properties of the pristine ACNFs and composites were characterized using various techniques. In comparison to pristine ACNF, the incorporation of rGO led to changes in surface and textural characteristics such as specific surface area (SBET), total pore volume (Vtotal), and micropore volume (Vmicro) of 373 m2/g, 0.22 cm3/g, and 0.15 cm3/g, respectively, which is much higher than the pristine ACNFs (e.g., SBET = 139 m2/g). The structural and morphological properties of the pristine ACNFs and their composites were studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) respectively. Carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption on the pristine ACNFs and rGO/ACNF composites was evaluated at different pressures (5, 10, and 15 bars) based on static volumetric adsorption. At 15 bar, the composite with 10% of rGO (rGO/ACNF0.1) that had the highest SBET, Vtotal, and Vmicro, as confirmed with BET model, exhibited the highest CO2 uptake of 58 mmol/g. These results point out that both surface and texture have a strong influence on the performance of CO2 adsorption. Interestingly, at p < 10 bar, the adsorption process of CO2 was found to be quite well fitted by pseudo-second order model (i.e., the chemisorption), whilst at 15 bar, physisorption prevailed, which was explained by the pseudo-first order model.

The nano-sorbent was synthesized by the embedment of magnetite onto the biochar obtained from Cassia auriculata for the effective adsorption of Levafix blue (LB) dye. Different instrumental techniques revealed the properties of biochar and the nano-sorbent. It was very distinct that the nano-sorbent gained highly favorable properties to be an effectual bio-sorbent. The effect of contact time, initial dye concentration and nano-sorbent dosage on the removal of LB dye was examined. Also, out of the kinetics studies models, the best fit and highest R2 values (0.9873) showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were established for the adsorption equilibrium data and the Temkin model showed the best reliability with the experimental results with highest R2 value of 0.9915. The adsorption system was modelled using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for biochar and nano-sorbent. The developed well-trained neural structure suggested the high performance of nano-sorbent.

Polyacrylonitrile-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs), modified using potassium hydroxide (KOH) or tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), were investigated for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption, which is one of the promising alleviation approaches for global warming. The CO2 adsorption isotherms were measured, and the values of isosteric heat of adsorption were calculated. The results showed that the KOH-modified ACFs exhibited a great deal of pore volume, and a specific surface area of 1565 m2/g was obtained. KOH activation made nitrogen atoms easily able to escape from the surface of ACFs. On the other hand, the surface area and pore volume of ACFs modified with TEPA were significantly reduced, which can be attributed to the closing or blocking of micropores by the N-groups. The CO2 adsorption on the ACF samples was via exothermic reactions and was a type of physical adsorption, where the CO2 adsorption occurred on heterogeneous surfaces. The CO2 uptakes at 1 atm and 25 °C on KOH-activated ACFs reached 2.74 mmole/g. This study observed that microporosity and surface oxygen functionalities were highly associated with the CO2 uptake, implying the existence of O-C coordination, accompanied with physical adsorption. Well cyclability of the adsorbents for CO2 adsorption was observed, with a performance decay of less than 5% over up to ten adsorption-desorption cycles.

This paper presents low-cost and recyclable activated carbon (XLAC) derived from Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge hull for high-efficiency adsorption of Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions in industrial wastewater. XLAC was prepared through H3PO4 activation and was characterized using N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In single-metal-system adsorption experiments, the maximum adsorption capacities for Cd(II) and Hg(II) obtained under different experimental conditions were 388.7 and 235.6 mg·g−1, respectively. All adsorption equilibrium data fit perfectly with the Langmuir isotherm model. In a binary metal system, competitive studies demonstrated that the presence of Cd(II) significantly decreased the adsorption of Hg(II), but the adsorption of Cd(II) showed a little change in the presence of Hg(II). In addition, XLAC can be regenerated with a 0.01 mol·L−1 HNO3 solution and reused at least four times. The FTIR spectra revealed that a chemical interaction occurs between functional groups containing lone electron pairs in XLAC and metal ions. Overall, these results suggest that XLAC may be suitable as an adsorbent for heavy metal removal from wastewater streams.
