Leucaena leucocephala is a potential source of polyphenols widely available in southern Mexico. This work highlights the extraction of polyphenols from Leucaena leucocephala leaves waste (LLEPs) and the evaluation of their efficiency to remove the single and multicomponent Pb(II) and Cd(II) metal ions from aqueous solutions. Batch test conditions were carried out to examine the effects of contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the biosorption process. The surface textures and the composition of the LLEP biosorbent was characterized using pH of point of zero charge (pHPZC), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, respectively. Further analysis using ATR-FTIR after adsorption contact of biosorbent was also investigated. The highest Langmuir saturation monolayer adsorption capacity, qm, for the removal of Pb(II) by LLEPs was obtained as 25.51 and 21.55 mg/g in mono- and bimetal solutions, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit for the kinetic data obtained for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), and their mixture, and the k2 values depend on the adsorbent mass. This implied that the chemisorption process might be the mechanism of the solute ions-LLEPs interaction in this study. Furthermore, nearly 100% removal of lead and cadmium individually and 95% of their mixture was found using 0.9 g of LLEPs.

AbstractDue to the high cost associated with the treatment of effluents containing heavy metals in the environment, the continuous untreated release of effluent containing chromium from textile industries has resulted in several adverse effects to plants, ecological systems and humans. This research therefore focused on the use of a low cost, biodegradable Heinsia crinita seed coat (HCSC) material for the biosorption of chromium(VI) from aqueous and textile contaminated effluent. The biosorbent was characterized for specific surface area, surface morphology, pH point of zero charge and surface functional groups. Operational variables influences such as biosorbent dose, pH, temperature, initial Cr(VI) ion concentration and contact time on biosorption process was tested. The optimum biosorption parameter was obtained at pH 2.0, adsorbent dosage 0.25 g and contact time of 30 min. From sorption analysis, the pseudo-second-order model best described the attenuation kinetics. Concerning biosorption equilibrium, the results suggested that the adsorption isotherm obeyed the Freundlich model. Langmuir maximum monolayer biosorption capacity of 231.7 mg/g was higher than most biosorbents for Cr(VI) ion. The thermodynamic data showed a physical, spontaneous and endothermic biosorption process. HCSC showed high percentage desorption > 90% using 0.1 M HNO3 and was efficient after three cycles of regeneration studies. The results showed HCSC biomass as a suitable candidate for abstraction of Cr(VI) ion from contaminated solution and textile effluent.

Biosorbent prepared from the scale of croaker fish (Genyonemus lineatus) has been used for the removal of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution in a batch system. The effects of some important parameters such as pH, initial metal concentration, temperature and biosorbent dosage on biosorption capacity were investigated. Equilibrium time for the biosorption process is 20 and 30 min at lower and higher concentrations, respectively. The process at 28 °C is in agreement with a pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 14.58 mg g−1. The study showed that the sorption process depends on biomass dosage, temperature, pH and initial metal ion concentration. The calculated thermodynamics parameters (ΔGo, ΔHo and ΔSo) indicated that the biosorption of the metal ion onto fish scale is feasible, spontaneous and exothermic in nature.

In this research investigation, the simultaneous use of 2 biomaterials, sugarcane bagasse and eggshells, were applied as biosorbents in the treatment of metal laden effluent. Under the characterisation measurements investigated, it was found that carbon, calcium and oxygen atoms which constitute carboxylic and carbonate functional groups were prominent in eggshells, whereas for bagasse, it was carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms constituting hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Batch studies were conducted to investigate the effect of fundamental process variables such as particle size (75 – 250 μm), initial metal ion concentration (40 – 240 mg/L), pH (2 – 7) and contact time (0 – 120 min). With respect to the equilibrium studies, the applicability of the Langmuir isotherm implied a monolayer formation of metal ions onto the surface of both biomaterials with the maximum amounts of Pb and Cd adsorbed based on 1 g of biosorbent being 277.8 and 13.62 mg/g for eggshells and 31.45 and 19.49 mg/g for bagasse, respectively. Moreover, kinetic modelling revealed that the process was well described by the pseudo – second order model for both Pb and Cd using eggshells and bagasse. Fixed bed studies were used to assess the dynamic adsorption behaviour of the eggshell – bagasse system using a lab – scale adsorption column of 2.3 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height. The effect of bed depth (4 – 12 cm) on 5 adsorbents (eggshells, bagasse, adsorbent A, adsorbent B and adsorbent C) in the removal of Pb were investigated. Adsorbents A, B and C were a combination of both eggshells and bagasse with adsorbent A constituting 75wt % bagasse and 25wt % eggshells, adsorbent B constituting 50wt % bagasse and 50wt % eggshells and adsorbent C constituting 25wt % bagasse and 75wt % eggshells. The column experiments highlighted an improvement in bed performance with an increase in bed depth resulting in greater mass transfer zones, breakthrough times and larger quantities of effluents treated. Two kinetic models (Thomas and Yoon–Nelson) were used to interpret the breakthrough curves where the data showed good fits to both models used. In determining the efficacy of the eggshell – bagasse biosorption system, adsorbent C was found to be most proficient in the removal of Pb with eggshells, adsorbent B, adsorbent A and bagasse following suit. The results from this investigation strongly suggest the plausible reuse of agricultural waste materials in the treatment of contaminated effluent through the biosorption process.

In this study, the removal of copper(II) and cadmium(II) ions from aqueous solutions by biosorption onto pine cone was studied. Variables that affect the biosorption process such as pH, biosorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, contact time and temperature of solution were optimized. Experimental data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models to investigate the equilibrium isotherms. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models were used to determine the biosorption mechanism. The thermodynamics of biosorption were studied for predicting the nature of biosorption. Experimental results showed that pine cone could be evaluated as an alternative precursor for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions, due to its high biosorption capacity, availability, and low cost.

The biosorption of Cd (II), As (III) and Pb (II) ions from solution utilizing Vigna unguiculata leaf powders (VULP) as a low cost biosorbent was studied. The influence of temperature, metal ion concentration, biosorbent dose, contact time and pH on the sequestration process was examined by batch procedure. Increase in the biosorption of the three metal ions with increased pH and biosorbent dosage was obtained in this study.Equilibrium contact time of 20, 40 and 50min was achieved for Cd(II), As (III) and Pb(II) ions and biosorption was in the order As(III)> Cd(II) >Pb(II). Isotherm analysis was performed by the application of Langmuir, Freundlich, Flory-Huggins and Scatchard models. The Langmuir model gave the best fit with maximum monolayer biosorption capacity of 109.1, 105 and 119.3 mg/g for Cd (II), Pb (II) and As (III) respectively. Scatchard model confirmed a homogenous surface of VULP and monolayer biosorption of metal ions. Pseudo second order model showed the best fit compared to pseudo first order, Elovich and Banghams kinetic models according to kinetic analysis. Thermodynamics study revealed a feasibly, spontaneous exothermic biosorption process. The result showed good potentials of VULP as suitable cheap biosorbent for attenuation of Cd (II), Pb(II) and As (III) ions from polluted wastewaters.

A biosorbent was prepared by using wood apple shell (WAS) powder and studied its application for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution by a batch method. The biosorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. WAS is principally made up of lignin and cellulose, containing functional groups such as alcoholic, ketonic, and carboxylic groups which can be involved in complexation reactions with Cd(II). The effect of experimental parameters like initial pH, contact time, metal ion concentration, and sorbent dose on adsorption was investigated. The optimum pH for biosorption of Cd(II) onto WAS was found to be pH 5.0 and the quantitative removal of Cd(II) ions was achieved in 30 min. The kinetic study showed that the biosorption process followed the pseudo-second-order rate. Experimental data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. Desorption studies were carried out using HCl solution.

In the present study, the microalga Rhizoclonium hookeri (RH) was effectively applied to remove the metal ions [Pb(II) and Ni(II)] from aqueous solution in batch adsorption mode experiments. The adsorption process was influenced by several operating parameters such as initial metal ion concentration, contact time, pH, particle size, adsorbent dose, and temperature. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the RH was found to be 81.7 mg g−1 and 65.81 mg g−1 for Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions, respectively, at optimum conditions. The calculated thermodynamic parameters illustrated that the adsorption process was found to be spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Experimental data were analyzed in terms of pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and Elovich kinetic models. The results showed that the removal of Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions followed the pseudo-second order kinetics. The adsorption isotherm data were described using two and three parameter models. The results indicate that the adsorption data were best fitted with the Sips isotherm model. Consequently, the microalga RH with good adsorbability and reusability could be used as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions from wastewater.

Abstract Cellulose bearing pendant Schiff base with heterocyclic chelating groups (CMC-Bz) was synthesized, which were fully characterized using various instrumental techniques such as solid state carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) spectra. The adsorption of toxic metals onto cellulosic material was tested in a batch mode operation. The adsorption functional factors such as pH, adsorbent dose, metal ion concentration, equilibrium time and temperature were experimentally optimized for the maximum removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. Adsorption isotherms were evaluated with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Redlich–Peterson isotherms. Kinetic parameters and equilibrium adsorption capacities were investigated for pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion models. Thermodynamic parameters and reusability were also evaluated.

Polystyrene Resin

A new chelating polymeric sorbent has been developed using polystyrene resin grafted with phosphonic acid. After characterization by FTIR and elementary analysis, the new resin has been investigated in liquid-solid extraction of cadmium(II). The results indicated that phosphonic resin could adsorb Cd(II) ion effectively from aqueous solution. The adsorption was strongly dependent on the pH of the medium and the optimum pH value level for better sorption was between 3.2 and 5.2. The influence of other analytical parameters including contact time, amount of resin, metal ion concentration, and the presence of some electrolytes was investigated. The maximum uptake capacity of Cd(II) ions was 37,9 mg·g−1grafted resin at ambient temperature, at an initial pH value of 5.0. The overall adsorption process was best described by pseudo second-order kinetic. When Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were tested, the latter had a better fit with the experimental data. Furthermore, more than 92% of Cd(II) could be eluted by using 1.0 mol·L−1HCl in one cycle.

In our study, Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The structure, composition, morphology and thermal stability of the synthesized Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, N2 physisorption, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. Batch experiments were performed to study the adsorption behavior of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and adsorbent dose. The maximum adsorption capacity of Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides for cobalt and nickel metal ions was 116.7 mg g−1, and 70.4 mg g−1, respectively. The experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models in linear and nonlinear regression analysis. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption process could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Experimental equilibrium data were well represented by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Also, the maximum monolayer capacity, qmax, obtained was 113.8 mg g−1, and 79.4 mg g−1 for Co(II), and Ni(II), respectively. Our results showed that Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides can be used as an efficient adsorbent material for removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater samples.
