The ternary mesoporous MgFeAl oxide (MgFeAlO) material was designed and prepared using glucose as a soft template by calcination of its MgFeAl hydrotalcite precursor. The MgFeAlO showed significantly better Cr(VI) adsorption performance than binary MgAlO. The effect of Fe3+ on Cr(VI) removal in simulated wastewater was studied by researching the microstructure, adsorption properties and mechanism of the material. The results showed that the addition of Fe3+ affected the microstructure of MgAlO, where the partial substitution of Al3+ by Fe3+ into the host layers resulted in an increase in the interlayer region and specific area (SBET) as well as an enlargement in mesoporous feature into the MgFeAlO. The Cr(VI) adsorption process, taking place by the reconstruction of the MgFeAlO oxide with water (memory effect) companying with the intercalation of CrO2−4 anions, was much more efficient than that occurring in the binary MgAlO. MgFeAlO’s adsorption of Cr(VI) follows the pseudo-second-order model and it is controlled by intra particle diffusion. The adsorption isotherm was better fitted by the Langmuir model, suggesting that the Cr(VI) adsorption was a monolayer adsorption onto the homogeneous support surface. All thermodynamic and kinetic calculations suggested that the Cr(VI) adsorption process on the MgFeAlO was of chemisorption nature, in which activation energy (Ea) and enthalpy change (ΔH) were 30.01 and 193.58 kJ·mol−1, respectively.

Kanuma mud, a geomaterial, is used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. The influences of contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, initial fluoride concentration and co-existing ions were investigated by batch equilibration studies. The rate of adsorption was rapid with equilibrium being attained after about 2 h, and the maximum removal of fluoride was obtained at pH 5.0–8.0. The Freundlich isotherm model was found to represent the measured adsorption data well. The negative value of the thermodynamic parameter ΔG suggests the adsorption of fluoride by Kanuma mud was spontaneous, the endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the positive ΔH value. The negative ΔS value for adsorbent denoted decreased randomness at the solid/liquid interface. The adsorption process using Kanuma mud followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Fluoride uptake by the Kanuma mud was a complex process and intra-particle diffusion played a major role in the adsorption process. It was found that adsorbed fluoride could be easily desorbed by washing the adsorbent with a solution of pH 12. This indicates the material could be easily recycled.

This paper describes the adsorption of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions by modified Cucumis sativus peel (CSP) by HCl treatment. The optimum pH, adsorbent mass, contact time, and initial ion concentration were determined. The maximum removal efficiency was 84.85% for 20 mg/L Cd(II) ion at pH 5. The adsorption isotherms were obtained using concentrations of the metal ions ranging from 5 to 150 mg/L. The adsorption process follows Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics. CSPs exhibit monolayer adsorption capacity of 58.14 mg/g at 298 K. The paper also discusses the thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption (the Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy). Our results establish that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic under normal conditions.

Abstract In this work, a series of porous multifunctional cyclodextrin (CD) polymers were fabricated using tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFTPN) as the rigid crosslinker for the condensation of different functional phenylcarbamoylated-β-cyclodextrin derivatives to afford three preliminary polymerized adsorption materials such as poly nitrophenylcarbamoylated-β-cyclodextrin (NO2-CDP), poly trifluoromethylphenylcarbamoylated-β-cyclodextrin (F-CDP), poly chlorophenylcarbamoylated-β-cyclodextrin polymers (Cl-CDP) and a mix β- cyclodextrin polymer (X-CDP) prepared via a secondary crosslinking procedure of the above three materials. The X-CDP preparation process connects the `pre-formed nanoparticles and increases the presence of linkers inside the particles. At the same time, X-CDP exhibited porous structure with various functional groups such as nitro, chlorine, fluorine and hydroxyl. Those special characteristics render this material with good adsorption ability towards various pollutants in water, including tetracycline, ibuprofen, dichlorophenol, norfloxacin, bisphenol A, naphthol. Especially the maximum adsorption capacity for tetracycline at equilibrium reached 230.15 mg·g− 1, which is competitive with the adsorption capacities of other polysaccharides adsorbents. X-CDP removed organic contaminants much more quickly than other adsorbents, reaching almost ~ 95% of its equilibrium in only 30 s. The main adsorption process of the pollutants by X-CDP fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm well, indicating that the adsorption process is monolayer adsorption. Moreover, X-CDP possessed the good reusability where the pollutant removal rate was only reduced 8.3% after five cycles.

In this study, hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanostructures were synthesized via thermal oxidation of Fe sheet in dry air and in water vapor. SEM images show nanoblades and nanowires growing on the surface of the sheet. Samples synthesized in water vapor generally produced larger nanostructures while samples oxidized in higher temperatures formed taller and slender nanostructures. The α-Fe2O3nanostructures were used as adsorbent for Cr (VI) in acidic medium. Chromium removal was highest with the samples synthesized at 650°C in water vapor with 95% efficiency. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process strongly followed pseudo-second order kinetics model and is endothermic. The process also follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, suggesting that the process is described by homogeneous, monolayer adsorption. Adsorption of Cr (VI) onto hematite may be attributed to the electrostatic reaction between the positively charged hematite adsorbent and negative chromium ion.

AbstractActivated carbon derived from raw corncob (CCAC), which prepared with steam as the activating agent, was used to adsorb bisphenol S (BPS) from aqueous solution. Characterizations of CCAC were measured by using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Adsorption conditions including initial BPS concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that adsorption equilibrium was well described by the Langmuir and Koble–Corrigan models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of BPS was found to be 617.29 mg g−1 at 298 K. Based on the thermodynamic parameters analysis, the BPS adsorption process was turned out to be spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption process of BPS was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It also found that H-bonding, π–π interaction, and electrostatic interaction were the main mechanisms in the process of BPS adsorption onto the CCAC.

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.

AbstractThe usefulness of untreated powdered eggshell as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The most important parameters affecting the adsorption process, including the pH and ionic strength, were examined. The adsorption characteristics of PCP onto eggshell were evaluated in terms of kinetic and equilibrium parameters. The kinetic data were studied in terms of the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models. The pseudo-second order model best described the adsorption kinetics. Using the Langmuir equation, the monolayer adsorption capacity of eggshell for PCP was found to be 0.127 mg/g. The results showed that PCP can be effectively removed from aqueous solution employing eggshell as a cheap adsorbent.

The removal of lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions was carried out using an activated carbon prepared from a waste biomass. The effects of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of lead (II) ions, and temperature on the adsorption process were investigated. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis after adsorption reveals the accumulation of lead (II) ions onto activated carbon. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to analyze equilibrium data. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of activated carbon was found to be 476.2 mg g−1. The kinetic data were evaluated and the pseudo-second-order equation provided the best correlation. Thermodynamic parameters suggest that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract This work investigates the adsorption of sulfur compounds in model fuel (benzothiophene dissolved in n-octane) on NaY and NiY zeolites from the points of adsorption equilibrium and kinetics. The crystal structures, textural properties and chemical compositions of zeolites were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption and ICP-AES, respectively. The adsorption of sulfur from model diesel was processed in a batch experiment on NaY and NiY zeolites, and the effects of adsorption temperature and adsorption time on adsorption capacity were investigated. The experimental isotherm data were fitted using Langmuir, Freundlich and Toth models. The pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, pseudo-n order and intra-particle diffusion models were applied to fit the kinetic data and determine the adsorption mechanism. It is observed from the correlation coefficient (R2) that Toth model is more appropriate to depict the isotherm equilibrium adsorption process and the sulfur uptake process follows the pseudo-n order rate expression on NaY and NiY zeolites. The diffusion study indicated that the adsorption of benzothiophene is controlled by two steps. Moreover, the results of the relative error (RE) analysis further confirm the conclusion of the kinetic study. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process is exothermal and spontaneous. The equilibrium adsorption sulfur capacities are 20.66 and 28.21 mgS˙g−1 on NaY and NiY zeolites at 50 °C, respectively.

AbstractWe prepared a novel adsorbent functionalized by bagasse magnetic biochar (BMBC). To study the removal behaviors and mechanisms of Cr(VI) by BMBC, batch adsorption experiments were conducted by modifying variables, such as pH, adsorption time, BMBC dosages, initial Cr concentration, co-existing ions, and ionic strength, and characterizing BMBC before and after Cr(VI) adsorption. BMBC was primarily composed of Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 on bagasse boichar with an amorphous structure. The specific surface area of BMBC was 81.94 m2 g−1, and the pHpzc of BMBC was 6.2. The fabricated BMBC showed high adsorption performance of Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. The maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of BMBC was 29.08 mg g−1 at 25 ºC, which was much higher than that of conventional biochar sorbents. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and could be explained by the involvement of the Langmuir isotherm in monolayer adsorption. The crystalline structure of Fe3O4 in the BMBC changed slightly during the adsorption process; Fe3O4 improved the adsorption of Cr(VI) on BMB. The desorption capacity of Cr(VI) was 8.21 mg g−1 when 0.2 mol L−1 NaOH was used as the desorption solution. After being reused three times, the removal efficiency is still as high as 80.36%.
