Magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared via the coprecipitation process with ferric nitrate, nickel nitrate, and sodium hydroxide as raw materials, and they were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the transmission electron microscope (TEM), the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were employed to research the adsorption performance of reactive red 2BF (RR-2BF) onto them, and they revealed very large adsorption capacity of RR-2BF. The adsorption kinetics data were evaluated with the pseudo first-order, the pseudo second-order and the intraparticle diffusion models, and the results showed that the pseudo second-order kinetics model was best fitted for the adsorption of RR-2BF onto magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. While, the adsorption isotherm experiments were carried out at room temperature, and the experimental data conformed to the Langmuir model, which suggested that the adsorption of RR-2BF onto magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles was the monolayer adsorption process. The magnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles revealed good reusability, and the adsorption capacity was maintained over 80% of the initial capacity after being used for five cycles.

Here, using Fe3O4@SiO2 as a precursor, a novel core-shell structure magnetic Cu2+ adsorbent (Fe3O4@zeolite NaA) was successfully prepared. Several methods, namely X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were used to characterize the adsorbent. A batch experiment was conducted to study the Cu2+ adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA at different pH values, contact time, initial Cu2+ concentration and adsorbent does. It is found that the saturated adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA on Cu2+ is 86.54 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ is more consistent with the Langmuir model, suggesting that it is a monolayer adsorption. Adsorption kinetics study found that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ follows the pseudo-second kinetics model, which means that the combination of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA and Cu2+ is the chemical chelating reaction. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ is endothermic, with increasing entropy and spontaneous in nature. The above results show that Fe3O4@zeolite NaA is a promising Cu2+ adsorbent.

Abstract Pollution of heavy metals in water can affect the health of humans and the environment; therefore, removal of heavy metal ions is getting the attention of scientists. To reduce the negative impact of heavy metals on human health and the environment, Cd2+ ions present in water were treated using hydroxyapatite (HAp) as adsorbent. The effects of contact time, initial Cd2+ concentration, solution pH, and adsorbent mass on the adsorption capacity and efficiency of HAp were investigated. Cd2+ uptake was quantitatively evaluated using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 119 mg/g. The experimental adsorption data were analyzed using three kinetic models: Lagergren’s pseudo-first-order law, McKay and Ho’s pseudo-second-order law, and the intra-particle diffusion model. The results showed that the Cd2+ removal process follows the pseudo-second-order law.

AbstractA novel functionalized tannin-chitosan bentonite composite (TCBC) was successfully synthesized. The formation of the composite was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. The pHpzc of TCBC was 3.38. The influences such as pH, dosage of TCBC, temperature and initial Cr(VI) concentration on adsorption capacity were investigated. The experimental data indicated that the almost saturated adsorption of the TCBC towards Cr(VI) in 100 min. The maximum adsorption capacity was 262.08 mg/g at 333 K with initial pH = 2.5. The adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) on TCBC followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The isothermal data were well described by the models of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. The results revealed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) on TCBC existed comprehensive effects and mainly belong to the chemisorption. The TCBC could keep good performances (qe = 192.17 mg/g) in five runs, 1 M NaOH was used as eluent for desorption, which showed a high desorption efficiency. Studies showed TCBC prepared with low cost and green raw materials, and simple green preparation technology had high adsorption capacity, good reusability and acidic tolerance. By exploring the Cr(VI)-Cr(III) hybrid system, part of Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) and adsorbed by TCBC. The optimal adsorption pH of Cr(III) was 5.0.

Abstract Ureido-functionalized mesoporous polyvinyl alcohol/silica composite nanofibre membranes were prepared by electrospinning technology and their application for removal of Pb2+ and Cu2+ from wastewater was discussed. The characteristics of the membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. Results show that the membranes have long fibrous shapes and worm-like mesoporous micromorphologies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the membranes were successfully functionalized with ureido groups. Pb2+ and Cu2+ adsorption behavior on the membranes followed a pseudo-second-order nonlinear kinetic model with approximately 30 minutes to equilibrium. Pb2+ adsorption was modelled using a Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 26.96 mg g−1. However, Cu2+ adsorption was well described by a Freundlich isotherm model with poor adsorption potential due to the tendency to form chelating complexes with several ureido groups. Notably, the membranes were easily regenerated through acid treatment, and maintained adsorption capacity of 91.87% after five regeneration cycles, showing potential for applications in controlling heavy metals-related pollution and metals reuse.

The adsorbent is prepared by the montmorillonite co-modification with starch for the removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution. The Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopies were used to determine the structure and characteristics of the adsorbent. The main factors affecting the removal of Pb (II) ions were investigated, including the effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and the initial concentration of Pb (II). Batch process can be used for adsorption and equilibrium studies. The experimental data were fitted using Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models. The Langmuir isotherm best fitted the experimental data with R2> 0.99 and maximum Pb (II) adsorption capacity of 21.5 mg/g indicated monolayer adsorption. Kinetic studies using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate models showed that the process complied well with the pseudo second-order rate model.

In this research, the fabrication of drug delivery systems based on oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) was studied. Herein, TiO2 and Au were conjugated with O-MWCNTs to prepare efficient nanocarriers for dexamethasone (dex). The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, dex loading was studied using adsorption isotherms including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich. The results show that dex adsorption agreed well with the Freundlich isotherm. Increasing the TiO2 to O-MWCNT ratio from (1 : 4) to (1 : 2) can improve the adsorption capacity from 290   mg ⋅ g − 1 to 320 320   mg ⋅ g − 1 . The increasing Au amount increases the adsorption capacity from 437.78   mg ⋅ g − 1 (SA1) to maximum 476.19   mg ⋅ g − 1 (SA6). The maximum equilibrium binding energy A T 1.67   L ⋅ mg − 1 was obtained for SA2, and SA7 shows high binding strength between dex and the nanoadsorbent. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show good affinity with high loading capabilities for dexamethasone adsorption. The synthesized TiO2-O-MWCNTs:1/2 with the maximum removal percent (80%) was proposed as an appropriate nanocarrier for dexamethasone. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models were investigated for all synthesized drug nanocarriers. According to regression coefficients, experimental data are in good agreement with the pseudo-second order model for all adsorbents except O-MWCNT/CTAB. Experimental results revealed that the Elovich model could account for the O-MWCNT/CTAB adsorbent.

In this study, carbonaceous nanomaterials (Activated Carbon (AC), Graphene Oxide (GO) and Porous Graphene Oxide (PGO)) were synthesized and attached to Fe3O4 magnetic powder for the effective removal of synthetic Methyl Orange (MO). AC and GO were successfully conjugated with Fe3O4 whilst PGO was not due to its surface functional groups. The morphology and chemical structure of the Fe3O4/Carbon nanocomposites were characterized by the N2 adsorption, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Batch adsorption experiments were performed and showed significant removal efficiency of 90% at the first ten minutes for Fe3O4/AC nanocomposite. Analysis of adsorption equilibrium revealed that AC/Fe3O4 is well fitted with Langmuir model, a homogeneous adsorption having an adsorption capacity of 270 mg/g. The GO/Fe3O4 can fit with both Langmuir and Freundlich models indicating multilayer adsorption on the surface of the adsorbent with an adsorption capacity of 81.9 mg/g. In the case of adsorption kinetics, both adsorbents follow the pseudo second order kinetics model showing high F?2 values. Both adsorbents demonstrated advantageous superparamagnetic properties for their easy recovery from aqueous solutions and prospective applications to toxic removal in water and wastewater.

Chitosan (CS) and nanocomposite 5%bentonite/chitosan (5%Bt/CS) prepared from the natural biopolymer CS were tested to remove Cu(II) ions using a batch adsorption experiment at various temperatures (25, 35 and 45°C). X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) were used in CS and the nanocomposite characterisation. This confirmed the exfoliation of bentonite (Bt) to form the nanocomposite. The adsorption kinetics of copper on both solids was found to follow a pseudo-second-order law at each studied temperature. The Cu(II) adsorption capacity increased as the temperature increased from 25 to 45°C for nanocomposite adsorbent but slightly increased for CS. The data were confronted to the nonlinear Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson models. It was found that the experimental data fitted very well the Langmuir isotherm over the whole temperature and concentration ranges. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity for the Cu(II) was 404–422 mg/g for CS and 282–337 mg/g for 5%Bt/CS at 25–45°C. The thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The complexation of Cu(II) with NH2 and C = O groups as active sites was found to be the main mechanism in the adsorption processes.

Magnetic MnFe2O4 nanorods were fabricated by the alcohol-solution combustion–calcination technique. The morphology, microstructure, and composition of as-prepared MnFe2O4 nanorods were characterized using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Moreover, the magnetic MnFe2O4 nanorods were employed to remove reactive red 2BF (RR-2BF), the experimental results showed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model could be applied to describe the adsorption process of RR-2BF onto MnFe2O4 nanorods in the initial RR-2BF concentrations of 100–400 mg/L, while, the isotherm data of RR-2BF onto MnFe2O4 nanorods could conform to Langmuir model owing to the value of the square deviations, which revealed that, the adsorption of RR-2BF onto MnFe2O4 nanorods was the monolayer adsorption mechanism.
