In this study, macadamia nutshell residue, a prevalent leftover and green agricultural waste in Vietnam, was utilized to prepare a magnetic activated carbon adsorbent. The obtained material was characterized by its surface functionalities, elemental composition, crystalline structure, and magnetic properties. The characterization results revealed that the composite comprised Fe3O4 nanoparticles attached to the carbon matrix. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of the composite was found to be 38.2 emu g−1, indicating a convenient separation of the solid adsorbent from aqueous media using an external magnetic field. The feasibility of removing zinc (II) ion from an aqueous solution of the activated carbon/Fe3O4 (AC/Fe3O4) composite was examined. The adsorption kinetics were best explained by the Elovich model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption capacity at equilibrium and the initial rate of Zn2+ adsorption determined by the pseudo-second-order model were 22.73 mg g−1 and 4.18 mg g−1 min−1, respectively. The implications of this study are that a low-cost, green, and magnetically separable material prepared by a large-scale available solid waste can be a promising adsorbent for the elimination of heavy metals.

AbstractIn this study, activated carbon and humic acid powder were fixed by the cross-linking reaction of sodium alginate. Calcium alginate/activated carbon/humic acid (CAH) tri-system porous fibers were prepared by the wet spinning method and freeze-dried for the removal of tetracycline in aqueous solution. Subsequently, the morphology and structure of CAH fibers were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The effect of pH, contact time, temperature and other factors on adsorption behavior were analyzed. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to fit tetracycline adsorption equilibrium data. The dynamics data were evaluated by the pseudo-second-order model, the pseudo-second-order model and the intraparticle diffusion model. Thermodynamic study confirmed that the adsorption of tetracycline on CAH fibers was a spontaneous process.

In this paper, we report the safe removal of methyl orange (MO) dye from aqueous solution using chemical interaction of dye molecule with polyaniline/zinc oxide (PANI/ZnO) nanocomposite. PANI/ZnO nanocomposite has been prepared by in situ polymerization. PANI/ZnO nanocomposite was found to be the best promising candidate for adsorption of dyes due to more porosities compared to that of pure PANI. In the present investigation, PANI/ZnO nanocomposite was mixed in a solution of MO dye and used for adsorption process. Color removal was studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy and the spectra were recorded for specific time interval and validation of kinetic model has been applied. Absorbance of PANI/ZnO nanocomposite was found to be increased as compared to that of pure ZnO nanoparticles and pure PANI due to synergistic effect. Comparatively, the removal of dye was also found to be more by using PANI/ZnO nanocomposites. In order to evaluate kinetic mechanism the pseudo-first-order model, pseudo-second-order model and intraparticle diffusion models were verified by the linear equation analysis. Adsorption mechanism of pseudo-second-order model was systematically explained for removal of dye using PANI/ZnO nanocomposite. The results clearly demonstrated that the adsorption mechanism gives very novel and green method of removal of hazardous dyes from waste water.

The potentiality of tea stem for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous phase was investigated. A series of operating factors, including the initial MB concentration, contact time, pH of solution, dose of tea stem, and ionic strength of solution, were conducted to understand the effect of adsorption of MB onto tea stem. Adsorption isotherm, kinetic models, thermodynamic investigation, and regenerability of tea stem were systematically investigated in this study. The experiment results revealed that the removal efficiency decreased with MB concentration and the equilibrium time of adsorption at different initial MB concentrations was approximately at 60 min. The appropriate dose of tea stem powder was found to be 4 g/L. The pHzpc of tea stem was evaluated and was observed to be 6.0 ± 0.2. The removal efficiency increased with pH ranging from 3.0 to 5.0 and remained constantly at the pH range of 5.0–11.0. The pH affected the adsorption because of the repellent power between H+ and dye cation. The ionic strength was found to have a negligible effect on the adsorption. The Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models were found to be the best isotherm models to elucidate the adsorption mechanism between MB and tea stem powder. The maximum adsorption capacity of 103.09 mg/g derived from the Langmuir model was much close to the experimental result. From the kinetic analysis, the pseudo-second-order model was found to be the suitable model to describe the adsorption behavior. The calculated adsorption capacities at different temperatures derived from the pseudo-second-order model ranging from 68.91 to 69.8 mg/g were well close to the experimental data. The intraparticle diffusion of MB molecules into pore structures of tea stem powder is the rate-limiting step for the adsorption process in this study. Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters including changes in enthalpy, entropy, and Gibb’s free energy indicated the adsorption mechanism between MB and tea stem powder was a spontaneous and exothermic process. The regeneration/adsorption experiments indicated that the tea stem powder efficiently remained more than 97% after five cycles using NaOH as a desorbing agent and thus be used for many times. On the basis of experimental results obtained, it is concluded that the tea stem has a considerable potential as a low-cost sorbent for removing MB from the aqueous phase.
