Coal mine goafs can be used to store and purify mine water; therefore, they are important for mitigating the environmental impact of mining on ecologically fragile areas in Western China. Coal gangue in goafs can reduce turbidity, suspended matter, total hardness, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in mine wastewater. Because gangue in goaf areas is rich in clay minerals, they serve as ion exchange sites. We investigated the adsorption of heavy metal ions by silty mudstones in the Ulan Mulun mine. The adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption characteristics of four heavy metal ions, i.e., Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), and Mn(II), were investigated using batch experiments. Under a pH of 6.75 and temperature of 20°C, the adsorption capacity of silty mudstone particles (<74 μm) was 6.3012 g, 1.5701, 1.2571, and 1.3729 mg/g for Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), and Mn(II), respectively. Based on the experimental results, quantitative relationships between the adsorption quantity per unit of rock surface and the equilibrium concentration of heavy metals in solution were developed using Langmuir, Freundlich, and D–R equations. The relationships were used to obtain the equilibrium concentration of the solution. Finally, the ratio of the f value of the water-rock contact area in the goaf to the water volume was calculated and analyzed. The f value was inversely proportional to the average vertical opening of gaps between gangues in the goaf. The adsorption rate functions for Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), and Mn(II) in the goaf were obtained, and the corresponding adsorption capacities were calculated. The adsorption capacities were controlled by the f value and adsorption properties of the gangue. These results can be used in future studies on mine wastewater treatment.

The bagasse fibers were activated by alkalize and etherified. 1,2-ethanediamine and carbon disulfide were used to modify the etherify fiber to get the chelate-fiber contained sulfur and nitrogen. The FTIR was used to characterize the xanthated aminating-fiber (XAF). The mechanism of sorption properties for heavy metal ions were studied. As the results shown, the optimal process to prepare the XAF was that the reaction time, concentration of NaOH and dosage of CS2 was 60min, 12% and 2mL, respectively. The chelate-fiber containing sulfur and nitrogen possessed high adsorption capacities for Cu(II) and the mechanism of sorption fitted the pseudo-second-order model well.

A study on sorption of heavy metal ions: Lead (Pb2+), Copper (Cu2+) and Cadmium (Cd2+) from mine wastewater by activated carbons prepared from coconut husk was conducted.  The activated carbons were prepared by carbonisation of the husk at 900 ºC pyrolysis temperature, followed by steam activation of the pyrolysis derived char. Activation was also performed at 900 ºC for various durations at steam addition rate of 0.2 mol/h/g in a Gas Fired Static Bed Pyrolysis-Activation Reactor. The derived activated carbons were contacted with mine wastewater containing heavy metal ions to assess their heavy metal ions adsorption potential. The results show that the activated carbons efficiently adsorbed the heavy metal ions from solution, reducing concentrations of  Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ from 1.56 mg/L, 1.87 mg/L and 0.69 mg/L respectively to below Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) standards of  0.10 mg/L, 1.30 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ respectively. The significances of this study are that, the conversion of the coconut husk to activated carbons provides a solution to environmental problems associated with dumping of the waste and also provides valuable products capable of reducing the effects of heavy metals in wastewater.  Keywords: Coconut Husk, Activated Carbon, Heavy Metal, Adsorption

DNA–chitosan (DNA–CS) hydrogel was prepared by in situ complexation between oppositely charged DNA and chitosan polyelectrolytes via electrostatic cross-linking to study its adsorption characteristics. The DNA–chitosan hydrogel matrix contains (i) cationic (NH3+) and anionic (PO4–) sites for electrostatic binding with ionic species, (ii) -OH and -NH2 groups and heteroaromatic DNA nucleobases for chelation of heavy metal ions, and (iii) DNA double-helix for recognition and binding to small organic molecules of various structures and polarities. DNA–CS hydrogels efficiently bind with Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+ metal cations of significant environmental concern. Adsorption capacities of DNA–CS hydrogels for studied metal ions depend on hydrogel composition and pH of solution and reach ca. 50 mg/g at neutral pHs. Hydrogels with higher DNA contents show better adsorption characteristics and notably higher adsorption capacity to Hg2+ ions. Because of the co-existence of cationic and anionic macromolecules in the DNA–CS hydrogel, it demonstrates an affinity to both anionic (Congo Red) and cationic (Methylene Blue) dyes with moderate adsorption capacities of 12.6 mg/g and 29.0 mg/g, respectively. DNA–CS hydrogel can also be used for adsorptive removal of pharmaceuticals on conditions that their molecules are sufficiently hydrophobic and have ionogenic group(s). Facile preparation and multitarget adsorption characteristics of DNA–CS hydrogel coupled with sustainable and environmentally friendly characteristics render this system promising for environmental cleaning applications.

The tea fungus was found to have good adsorption capacities for heavy metal ions. In this work it was treated with HCl or NaOH at 20?C or 100?C, with the aim to improve its adsorption ability. The sorption of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions by raw and treated tea fungus was investigated in the batch mode. The largest quantity of adsorbed Cu(II), of about 55 mg/g, was achieved by tea fungus modified with NaOH at 100?C. For Cr(VI), the largest quantity of adsorbed anions, of about 58 mg/g, was achieved by the adsorbent modified with NaOH at 20?C. It was shown that acid modification of tea fungus biomass was not effective.

The biopolymer chitosan is a very efficient adsorber material for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Due to the solubility properties of chitosan it can be used as both a liquid adsorber and a solid flocculant for water treatment reaching outstanding adsorption capacities for a number of heavy metal ions. However, the type of anion corresponding to the investigated heavy metal ions has a strong influence on the adsorption capacity and sorption mechanism on chitosan. In this work, the adsorption capacity of the heavy metal ions manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc were investigated in dependence on their corresponding anions sulfate, chloride, and nitrate by batch experiments. The selectivity of the different heavy metal ions was analyzed by column experiments.

Details of the adsorption performance of poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate–methacrylamidocysteine) [p(HEMA–MAC)] beads towards the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution were studied. The metal-complexing ligand and/or co-monomer MAC was newly synthesized from methylacrylochloride and cysteine. Spherical beads of average size 150–200 mm were obtained by the radical suspension polymerization of MAC and HEMA conducted in an aqueous dispersion. The p(HEMA–MAC) beads obtained had a specific surface area of 18.9 m2/g. p(HEMA–MAC) beads were characterized by swelling studies, FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Such beads with a swelling ratio of 72%, and containing 3.9 mmol MAC/g, were used for heavy metal removal studies. The adsorption capacities of the beads for selected metal ions, i.e. CdII, AsIII, CrIII, HgII and PbII, were investigated in aqueous media containing different amounts of these ions (10–750 mg/l) and at different pH values (3.0–7.0). The adsorption rate was fast in all cases. The maximum adsorption capacities of the p(HEMA–MAC) beads were 1058.2 mg/g for CdII, 123.4 mg/g for AsIII, 199.6 mg/g for CrIII, 639.1 mg/g for PbII and 1018.6 mg/g for HgII. On a molar basis, the following affinity order was observed: CdII > HgII > CrIII > PbII >AsIII. The adsorption capacity of the MAC-incorporated beads was affected significantly by the pH value of the aqueous medium. The adsorption of heavy metal ions from artificial wastewater was also studied. In this case, the adsorption capacities were 52.2 mg/g for CdII, 23.1 mg/g for CrIII, 83.4 mg/g for HgII, 62.6 mg/g for PbII and 11.1 mg/g for AsIII at an initial metal ion concentration of 0.5 mmol/l. The chelating beads could be regenerated easily with a higher effectiveness by 0.1 M HNO3. These features make p(HEMA–MAC) beads potential candidates for heavy metal ion removal at high capacity.
