Agricultural waste can be exploited for the adsorption of dyes, due to their low cost, availability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency. In this study, we were interested in the elimination of crystal violet dye, from aqueous solutions, by adsorption on almond shell-based material, as a low-cost and ecofriendly adsorbent. The almond shells were first analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction; then, the influence of adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration time, and pH were studied to assess adsorption capacity under optimal experimental conditions. Experimental results indicate that almond shell adsorbent removes about 83% of the dye from the solutions at room temperature and in batch mode; the kinetic study showed that the equilibrium time is about 90 min, and the model of pseudo-second order could very well describe adsorption kinetics. The modulation of adsorption isotherms showed that retention follows the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic study has shown that the adsorption is endothermic (ΔH° > 0) and spontaneous (ΔG° < 0).

The present study investigates the potential of Simarouba glauca seed shell powder as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of the cationic dyes Malachite green (MG), Methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and elemental (CHNS) analyses. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out varying the experimental conditions, such as initial dye concentration and contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and particle size, in order to assess the adsorbent capacity for the removal of cationic dyes from wastewater. The experimental data were analysed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms. The data fitted well the Langmuir model for the dyes studied. Kinetic data were analysed using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, intraparticle diffusion and Boyd models. The experimental results showed that the pseudo-second order model fitted well.

The chickpea husk (Cicer arientum) were activated by chemical modification with sulphuric acid, for its application as biosorbent for the remediation of crystal violet dye from wastewater. Activated chickpea husk (ACH) was characterized for its chemical structure and morphology using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The after effects of leading affecting parameters like dose of adsorbent, time of contact, pH and concentration were studied by commencing experiments in batch mode. Adsorption mechanism and sorption efficiency of ACH was examined using variety of isotherms (Langmuir & Freundlich) and kinetic models (pseudo first order and pseudo second order). Experimental data for adsorption rate was in good harmony with the results obtained using pseudo second order model. The adsorption capacity determined using Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order model was found to be 142.85 mg/g.

In the present study, the waste shells were used as a new low cost and eco-friendly biosorbant for Orange G anionic dye removal from aqueous solutions. Experiments were conducted in batch mode, and the effect of pH of solution, contact time, and initial dye concentration. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and ICP-MS analysis for chemical analysis were used to characterize the obtained biosorbent. The results showed that the mussel shells are composed 73% of calcite and 26% of aragonite with some traces of aluminum, magnesium, sodium, silicium and zinc. The biosorption results show that the optimal pH was around 2 for efficient Orange G biosorption. The equilibrium was attained in 60 min. The kinetic analysis showed that the pseudo-second-order model is in good agreement with the experimental data. The biosorption isotherm was well described by Langmuir isotherm model, the maximumbiosorption capacity was 1000mg/g. The thermodynamic study revealed that the biosorption of Orange G onto mussel shell is spontaneous and exothermic.

This study focused on the use of Parkia speciosa (Petai) pod as a potential adsorbent for the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye. Batch adsorption isotherm experiments carried out under optimized conditions were fitted to six isotherm models, namely Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson and Sips. Of these, the Sips model best described the adsorption isotherm of Petai pod for the removal of CV dye, giving a desirable adsorption capacity (qmax) of 163.2 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second order, and further, intra-particle diffusion played a significant role. This study also revealed that the adsorption of CV by Petai pod is influenced by the ionic strength of the medium. However, Petai pod showed resilience towards changes in medium pH.

Palm oil empty fruit bunch (POEFB), an agricultural waste, used as low-cost adsorbent for removal Acid Orange 51 (AO51) dye from aqueous solutions was studied. Batch mode experiments were carried out at room temperature (28 ± 2) °C to study the effects of contact time and initial dye concentrations (10-200 mg/L). The equilibrium adsorption data of AO51 dye on empty fruit bunch were analyzed by three isotherms, namely the Langmuir isotherm, Freundlich isotherm and Temkin isotherm model. The result indicated that the equilibrium sorption fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm, displaying higher regression coefficient, R2value. The monolayer adsorption capacity of POEFB was found to be 166.67 mg/g. The kinetic data obtained at different concentrations have been analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. It was shown that pseudo-second-order kinetic model could best describe the adsorption kinetics.

Almond production generates a large number of coproducts, but the farmer’s interest mainly focuses on the nutritional and commercial aspects of the kernel for getting the best return from their harvests. Thus, almond coproducts such as almond shells that represent more than 70% of biomass remain underexplored. In this work, the suitability of almond shell powder (ASP) as a natural low-cost adsorbent was evaluated in the adsorption of brilliant green dye (BG), which is known as a chemical pollutant. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, for the determination of specific surface area, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were performed to characterize the ASP adsorbent. The batch adsorption kinetic study for the removal of BG dye was carried out by varying pH, temperature, initial concentration of the dye, bioadsorbent dose, and contact time. It was found that 98% of BG dye is removed under the following optimal experimental conditions: ASP bioadsorbent dose of 1 g/L at T = 25°C, pH = 6.8, and C0 = 1 g/L, which proves that ASP can be used as an excellent low-cost bioadsorbent for the removal of BG dye from wastewater. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Freundlich and Langmuir models. The results show the best correlation with single-layer adsorption, and the adsorption kinetics seems to follow a pseudo-second-order model.

Orange flavedo and its adsorption behavior towards catechol (Ctc) and resorcinol (Res) were studied. Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) data were used to characterize the biosorbent. The Effects of various parameters including equilibrium pH, sorbent dosage, initial adsorbate concentration and contact time were investigated. The optimum contact time and pH for the removal of Ctc and Res were 35 min and pH 2 respectively. The adsorption isotherms fitted well with Freundlich model, the adsorption of Ctc and Res being multilayer and the surface of orange flavedo heterogeneous; the pseudo-second order kinetic model better reflects the adsorption phenomena. An adsorption mechanism based on the molecules grafted to the surface of the orange flavedo is proposed in this study. 0.2 gram of the biosorbent was sufficient to completely eliminate 2.2 milligrams of resorcinol and catechol from solution. Therefore, non-modified orange flavedo is a promising candidate, as a low-cost biosorbent, for the removal of Ctc and Res from aqueous solution.

In this study, Grewia spp. biopolymer was utilized as a biosorbent for elimination of hexavalent chromium from water. Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed for characterization of the biosorbent. Experiments were conducted in a batch mode at room temperature (25 ± 2°C) and agitation speed of 100 rpm to determine the influence of biosorbent dose, contact time, Cr(VI) concentration, and initial solution pH. It was found that equilibrium was attained in 50 min. A pseudo-first-order model suited well than a pseudo-second-order model. Biosorption capacity of Grewia spp. biopolymer increased with increase in concentration and depended on the solution pH. Langmuir and Freundlich models described experimental data very well. These findings showed that Grewia spp. biopolymer can serve as a biosorbent for elimination of Cr(VI) from water.

Lignite, as an available and low-cost material, was tested for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) removal from aqueous solutions under various static experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiency of both metals was improved by increasing their initial concentrations, adsorbent dosage and aqueous pH values. The adsorption kinetic was very rapid for Cd since about 78% of the totally adsorbed amounts were removed after a contact time of only 1 min. For Cd and Cu, the kinetic and isothermal data were well fitted with pseudo-second order and Freundlich models, respectively, which suggests that Cd/Cu removal by lignite occurs heterogeneously on multilayers surfaces. The maximum Langmuir’s adsorption capacities of Cd and Cu were assessed to 38.0 and 21.4 mg g−1 and are relatively important compared to some other lignites and raw natural materials. Results of proximate, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the removal of these metals occurs most likely through a combination of cation exchange and complexation with specific functional groups. The relatively high adsorption capacity of the used lignite promotes its future use as a low cost material for Cd and Cu removal from effluents, and possibly for other heavy metals or groups of pollutants.
