Dinonyldithiophosphoric acid (HDDTP) was synthesised from the reaction of phosphorus pentasulphide and nonyl alcohol. Dinonyldithiophosphate complex of cadmium [Cd(DDTP)2] was prepared by mixing solutions of Cd(II) with HDDTP in ethanol at room temperature. The acid and its complex were characterised by elemental analysis and spectroscopy. The thermal behaviour of Cd(DNDTP)2was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Removal of Cd(II) from aqueous media by HDDTP solution was also studied. The optimum conditions for removal of Cd(II) were investigated for effects of solvent, pH, contact time, concentration, and inorganic anions. Cd(II) was quantitatively removed from aqueous solutions at the pH range of0.5<pH<6, under the conditions that the stoichiometric ratio of HDDTP/Cd(II) ≥2/1. It can be stated that contact of the Cd(II) with HDDTP was sufficient for quantitative removing of cadmium from acidic aqueous solutions.

In this work, the biosorption of As(V) from aqueous solutions by living cells of Bacillus cereus has been reported. The batch biosorption experiments were conducted with respect to biosorbent dosage 0.5 to 15 g/L, pH 2 to 9, contact time 5 to 90 min, initial concentration 1 to 10 mg/L and temperature 10 to 40 °C. The maximum biosorption capacity of B. cereus for As(V) was found to be 30.04 at pH 7.0, at optimum conditions of contact time of 30 min, biomass dosage of 6 g/L, and temperature of 30 ± 2 °C. Biosorption data were fitted to linearly transformed Langmuir isotherms with R2 (correlation coefficient) &gt;0.99. Bacillus cereus cell surface was characterized using AFM and FTIR. The metal ions were desorbed from B. cereus using both 1 M HCl and 1 M HNO3. The pseudo-second-order model was successfully applied to predict the rate constant of biosorption.

Do So

In the present study, nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the sol–gel method were used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. To do so, the effect of four parameters including the concentration of Cr(VI), the dosage of NiO, contact time, and pH on the removal of Cr(VI) by NiO nanoparticles were studied. In order to examine and describe the optimum conditions for each of the mentioned parameters, Taguchi and response surface methods were used. The results of the experiment using Taguchi and response surface methods indicated the greater effect of the NiO adsorbent parameter in comparison to the other parameters in the adsorption of Cr(VI) by NiO nanoparticles, and showed that the increase in contact time and pH does not affect the removal percentage of Cr(VI) significantly.

AbstractThis work assesses the potential of an adsorptive material, Dowex 50w-x8, for the separation of indium ions from cadmium ions in aqueous media. The adsorption behavior of Dowex 50 w-x8 for indium and cadmium ions was investigated. The effect of pH, initial concentration of metal ions, the weight of resins, and contact time on the sorption of each of the metal ions were determined. It was found that the adsorption percentage of the indium ions was more than 99% at pH 4.0. The result shows that In (III) was most strongly extracted, while Cd(II) was slightly extracted at this pH value. The recovery of In(III) and Cd(II) ions is around 98% using hydrochloric acid as the best eluent.

High loadings of wastewater with phosphors (P) require purification measures, which can be challenging to realize in regions where the technical and financial frame does not allow sophisticated applications. Simple percolation devices employing various kinds of adsorbents might be an alternative. Here, we investigated the application of leftover coal, which was collected from Ethiopian coal mining areas, as an adsorbent for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solutions in a classical slurry batch set-up. The combined effects of operational parameters such as contact time, initial concentration, and solution pH on P retention efficiency was studied employing the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The maximum phosphate adsorption (79% removal and 198 mg kg−1 leftover coal) was obtained at a contact time of 200 min, an initial phosphate concentration of 5 mg/L, and a solution pH of 2.3. The Freundlich isotherm was fitted to the experimental data. The pseudo second-order equation describes the experimental data well, with a correlation value of R2 = 0.99. The effect of temperature on the adsorption reveals that the process is exothermic. The results demonstrate that leftover coal material could potentially be applied for the removal of phosphate from aqueous media, but additional testing in a flow-through set-up using real wastewater is required to draw definite conclusions.

Peat waters were abundant in the West Tanjung Jabung Regency of Jambi Province. Peat water contains manganese metal ion concentration that exceeds the clean water quality standard. Previous studies have been conducted to reduce levels of manganese in peat water, but the results have not been significant. This study aims to reduce levels of Manganese metal in peat water using the composition of Bentonite and Biochar. The adsorption process was carried out at room temperature (29 °C) with a stirring of 200 rpm. Some parameters measured were optimum pH of adsorption, optimum contact time and the best combination between Bentonite and Biochar. Manganese ion concentration in solution was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results of this study indicate that the optimum conditions for removing manganese ion at pH 5 and contact time 40 minutes. Tests on artificial solutions using 0.2 grams of biochar showed Mn ion removal of 42.91% (C0 = 100 mg/L, Ce = 57.09 mg/L, V = 100 mL). The best combination obtained in Bentonite: Biochar (1:2) with a mass of 0.080 gr and 0.170 gr, respectively, which able to remove 91.29% manganese ions in peat water.

<p>Catechol is used as an antioxidant, fungicide, and polymerization inhibitors in a variety of industries such as petrochemical. Catechol must be removed from effluents before it enters to environment. This study aimed to investigate combined UV radiation and persulfate process in removal of catechol from aqueous solutions. All experiments were performed in a batch reactor. Data analysis were done with Design of Experiment (DoE) software. The effects of various variables such as pH, initial persulfate concentration, and initial Catechol concentration were investigated. The findings indicated with increases in persulfate concentration and decrease in catechol concentrations, the removal efficiency increased. Acidic pH and UV radiation were the leading factors in removal of catechol. The optimum pH, persulfate concentration, and catechol concentration were obtained 7, 0.04 M, and 100 mg l-1, respectively. More removes of catechol was achieved in optimum conditions within contact time of 60 min. The synergic effects of UV and persulfate radical were about 88%. Approximately 60% of catechol was mineralized within contact time of 60 min. Persulfate radicals resulting from UV/S2O82- were the main effective oxidants in removal and mineralization of catechol. Owing to high removal efficiency of persulfate compounds which are, also, abundant and inexpensive, these can be applied in removal of persistent organic pollutants from aqueous solutions.</p>

Co-sorption characteristics of Zn(II) and As(V) on the mixed Fe/Al-PILCs was investigated in a batch system at room temperature. The effects of relevant parameters, such as pH value of solution, adsorbent dosage, initial Zn(II) and As(V) concentrations and contact time were examined, respectively. The results show that co-sorption capacities and co-sorption rates of Zn(II) and As(V) by Fe/Al-PILC are higher and faster than those of single Zn(II) or single As(V) by Fe/Al-PILC. Co-sorption isotherm data of Zn(II) and As(V) by Fe-Al-PILC were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm and the maximum sorption capacities of Zn(II) and As(V) on mixed Fe-Al-PILCs (Q0) are 16.98 mg/g and 16.29 mg/g, respectively, which are higher than those in single system. n>1 from Freundlich isotherm indicate that the sorption of Zn(II) and As(V) by Fe-Al-PILC is favorable. E values from D-R model indicate that the type of sorption of Zn(II) and As(V) by Fe-Al-PILC is physical. The results indicate that there is significant potential for Fe/Al-PILCs as an adsorbent material for Zn(II) and As(V) removal from aqueous solutions.
