The magnetic ferrites were synthesized at ambient temperature through the precipitation method in aqueous solution at varying pH values and were used as novel adsorbents for heavy metal-containing wastewater treatment. The magnetic ferrites were applied for the removal of Cd(II) ion from wastewater. The synthesized magnetic ferrites were characterized by settling velocity, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, laser particles size analyzer, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The effects of pH value and contact time on the adsorption process were investigated. The magnetic ferrites had a saturation magnetization value of 82.30 emu/g and a settling velocity of 2%, indicating easy separation from aqueous solution under magnetic field. The adsorption of Cd(II) onto the magnetic ferrites followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. The most suitable pH condition for the synthesis of magnetic ferrite with optimal Cd(II) adsorption capacity was 9.0, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 160.91 mg/g for Cd(II) ions can be achieved. Based on the cost analysis, the magnetic ferrite was a cost-effective adsorbent for Cd-containing wastewater treatment.

Owing to the unique microporous structure and high specific surface area, porous carbon could act as a good carrier for functional materials. In this paper, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based porous carbon materials (PPC-0.6-600, PPC-0.8-600, PPC-0.6-800 and PPC-0.8-800) were prepared by heating KOH at 600°C and 800 o C for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by the techniques of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elementary analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N 2 adsorption techniques. The results showed that the adsorption capacity increased with decreasing pH value of the initial solution. The adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) on PPC-0.8-800 was much greater than that on other materials, and maximum adsorption capacity were calculated to be 374.90 mg g −1 . Moreover, PPC-0.8-800 had superior recyclability for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater, about 82% of its initial adsorption capacity was retained even after five cycles. The result of kinetic simulation showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) on the PAN-based porous carbon could be described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption process was the ionic interaction between protonated amine groups of PPC and HCrO 4 - ions.

This study was carried out to investigate the efficiency of raw pili shell (RPS) and the surface modified pili shell using EDTA (EMPS) and oxalic acid (OMPS). A comparative study on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents was performed against lead (Pb2+) from aqueous solution. The adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, which showed higher peak of adsorption bands of carboxylic groups on the acid modified pili shells. Scanning electron microscope orSEM was also used to describe the surface morphology of the adsorbents. The linear form of Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to represent adsorption data. The calculated equilibrium data of Pb (II) best fitted to Langmuir compare to Freundlich isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 27.03 mg/g and 45.45 mg/g using EMPS and OMPS, respectively. Kinetic sorption models were used to determine the adsorption mechanism and the kinetic data of all the adsorbents correlated (R2=1) wellwith the pseudo second order kinetic model. Among the three adsorbents, OMPS shown higher percent removal of lead compared to RPS and EMPS. The large adsorption capacity rate indicated that chemically modified pili shell in present study has great potential to be used as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of lead ions from the water.

Hydrotalcites (HT-X) of different Mg/Al ratio (X is Mg/Al molar ratio, 3 and 4) was synthesized by co-precipitation method. Calcined HTLCs (CHT-X) at 500°C have been shown to recover their original layered structure by taking up chloride ion from aqueous solution. Adsorption of chloride by CHT-X was investigated in batch mode. The kinetics study showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model could be used to describe the adsorption process satisfactorily. The equilibrium isotherm showed that the Langmuir model gave a better fit to the experimental data than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of CHT-3 was 83.33 mg/g; CHT-4 was 90.09 mg/g .The samples of different Mg/Al ratio have different crystallite size, thus showing different adsorption capacity. As the Mg/Al ratio increases from 3 to 4; the electric charge density between the layers becomes weaker; the interlayer spacing increases; the sample shows greater adsorption capacity. The HT-X where characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).

In the present work, beta-calcium pyrophosphate (β-Ca2P2O7) was investigated as a potential adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions from water. Single-phase β-Ca2P2O7 powders were synthesized by a simple, scalable and cost-effective wet precipitation method followed by annealing at 800 °C, which was employed for the conversion of as-precipitated brushite (CaHPO4∙2H2O) to β-Ca2P2O7. Physicochemical properties of the sorbent were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA/DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low temperature adsorption–desorption of nitrogen (BET method). The synthesized powders consisted of porous plate-like particles with micrometer dimensions. Specific surface area calculated by the BET method was found to be 7 m2 g−1. For the estimation of sorption properties, the aqueous model solutions containing different metal ions (Al3+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Sn2+, Sr2+ and Zn2+) were used. The adsorption test revealed that β-Ca2P2O7 demonstrates the highest adsorption capacity for Pb2+ and Sn2+ ions, while the lowest capacity was observed towards Sr2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ ions. The optimal pH value for the removal of Pb2+ ions was determined to be 2, which is also related to the low solubility of β-Ca2P2O7 at this pH. The adsorption capacity towards Pb2+ ions was calculated as high as 120 mg g−1.

In the present study, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized in-housed using co-precipitation method was applied for the treatment of aqueous solutions contaminated by Ni(II) ions. Experimental results indicated that at 25ºC, the optimum pH value for Ni(II) removal was pH 6.0 and an adsorbent dose of 60.0 mg.  The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles for Ni(II) is 20.54 mg g−1. Adsorption kinetic rates were found to be fast; total equilibrium was achieved after 180 min. Kinetic experimental data fitted very well the pseudo-second order equation and the value of adsorption rate constants was calculated to be 0.004 and 0.0008 g mg−1 min at 5 and 40 mg L−1 initial Ni(II) concentrations, respectively. The equilibrium isotherms were evaluated in terms of maximum adsorption capacity and adsorption affinity by the application of Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The maximum monolayer capacity obtained from the Langmuir isotherm was 24.57 mg g−1 for Ni(II). Results indicate that the Langmuir model fits adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model.

In this study, magnetic carboxylate-rich carbon material (Fe3O4@CRC) was synthesized via a low-temperature carbonization method and applied as an adsorbent for adsorption of Ni(II) ions and methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The synthesized Fe3O4@CRC was characterized by various techniques (XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, TEM, EDX, VSM, and BET). The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and the effects of key adsorption factors, including the pH value, initial adsorbate concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose and temperature were investigated in detail. The results showed that Fe3O4@CRC exhibited a high adsorption capacity for MB and Ni(II) with the maximum adsorption capacity of 187.26 mg/g and 106.75 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of MB and Ni(II) on Fe3O4@CRC was a spontaneous and endothermic process, and was best described with the first-order kinetic model, Freundlich (for MB) and Langmuir (for Ni(II)) isotherm models. In addition, Fe3O4@CRC could maintain a high adsorption capacity after many consecutive cycles. Therefore, the Fe3O4@CRC material can be used as a highly efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals and dyes from wastewater due to the advantages of high adsorption performance, easy separation, and good reusability.

A hybrid adsorbent with inverse opal (IO) structure was prepared for removing Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The functional polymeric chains were grafted from the pore wall of IO silica to prepare the porous hybrid material by surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization. Furthermore, the amidation reaction was carried out to obtain diethylenetriamine-modified hybrid adsorbent (IO SiO2-g-PAA-DETA). Batch adsorption of removing Cd(II) onto IO SiO2-g-PAA-DETA was studied as the effect of solution pH, adsorbent doses, contact time, ionic concentration, and temperature. When the grafted amount was 73%, the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained. The optimum adsorbent dose and pH value for adsorbing Cd(II) were found to be 5[Formula: see text]g/L and 0.5[Formula: see text]g/L, respectively. The adsorption capacity was almost unaffected by Na[Formula: see text] at low concentrations. The adsorption data was depicted by the corresponding models and the results displayed that adsorbing Cd(II) on IO SiO2-g-PAA-DETA followed the Freundlich and pseudo-first-order model. In addition, after six adsorption–desorption cycles, IO adsorbent could remain above 80% of the first adsorption ability while it was washed using 0.025[Formula: see text]M EDTA.

Fly ash/CeO2 composite adsorbent (FA/CeO2) was prepared by HCl treatment and precipitation method using a low-cost waste fly ash (FA) as the raw material and used for the removal of Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution. Effects of important parameters such as contact time, initial dye concentration, pH value and temperature were explored. Adsorption equilibrium and isotherms were investigated. The adsorption of CR onto FA/CeO2 is a fast process and to achieve a basic balance in 30 minutes. The removal of CR is strongly pH-dependent. FA/CeO2 is an effective adsorbent for the CR removal with removal rate of 98.8% when initial CR concentration is 1000 mg/L. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The results revealed that the adsorption behavior of CR on FA/CeO2 fitted well with the Langmuir model at different temperatures. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained by Langmuir model is 232.56 mg/g which is nearly consistent with the actual adsorption value of 230.01 mg/g at 298K. The Adsorption amount decreases with increasing temperature, but the variation of the amplitude is very small.

The effects of pH, different initial concentrations of uranium and adsorption time were investigated to study the properties of the sorption of uranium by fly ash. The results show that pH value is the major factor of dominating adsorption rate. The highest adsorption capacity was obtained at pH 5 and the adsorption time was 60 minutes. The increasing of initial uranium concentration resulted in the decreasing of U removal rate and the increasing of adsorption quantity, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 8.38mg/g. The adsorption behavior accorded with both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms.

A spherical amine modified lignin-base adsorbent had been prepared (L-BAA) by condensation polymerization of lignin with epoxy chloropropane and diamines. The modified products were characterized by FTIR spectra and scanning electron microscopy. Few researches on adsorbing Pb (II) of high concentration from aqueous had been reported. The spherical lignin-base adsorbent was used to adsorb Pb (II) of high concentration from aqueous solution. The effect of shaking time, pH value and temperature on adsorption had been investigated in the study. It was indicated that the adsorption was dependent on pH and temperature of Pb (II) aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption capacity was 151.0 mg/g at follow condition: pH value was 4.00 and temperature was 35°C. The adsorption capacity was better than other reported adsorbents.
