The article focuses on the preparation of a novel adsorbent by grafting amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer to cotton fibers and the adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. The prepared novel adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results show that the amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer was grafted to the oxidized cotton fibers, and the adsorbent with amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer was successfully obtained. The grooves on the surface of the grafted cotton fiber were filled with amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer. The adsorption experiments show that the adsorption amount of Cu2+ and Pb2+ was up to 16.1 mg/g and 13.4 mg/g with the metal ion concentration of 319.5 ppm and 315.9 ppm, respectively. When the dosage of adsorbent was 1.5 g in 100 mL metal ion solution, the adsorption rate of Cu2+ and Pb2+ reached 73.5 wt. % and 71.2 wt.%, respectively. The use of the adsorbent for the removal of metal ions is considered to be efficient and have great potential for practical applications.

The crosslinkers allyl mannitol (AM), allyl sorbitol (AS) and allyl pentaerythritol (AP) have been used for the synthesis of crosslinked polymeric gels of acrylic acid. These gels were used for the removal of heavy metal ions from water. The quantitative removal of metal ions was determined with the support of UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results show that the fully dried hydrogel samples have better adsorption potential for heavy metal ion removal. The kinetics of metal ion adsorption during the treatment of wastewater has also been studied. It was found that under certain conditions, the kinetics involved may be of pseudo first order while under different set of conditions, the kinetics involved is of pseudo second order.

A study of removal of heavy metal ions from heavy metal contaminated water using agro-waste was carried out with Musa paradisiaca peels as test adsorbent. The study was carried by adding known quantities of lead (II) ions and cadmium (II) ions each and respectively into specific volume of water and adding specific dose of the test adsorbent into the heavy metal ion solution, and the mixture was agitated for a specific period of time and then the concentration of the metal ion remaining in the solution was determined with Perkin Elmer Atomic absorption spectrophotometer model 2380. The effect of contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature were considered. From the effect of contact time results equilibrium concentration was established at 60minutes. The percentage removal of these metal ions studied, were all above 90%. Adsorption and percentage removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from their aqueous solutions were affected by change in initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dose pH and temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies confirmed the adsorption of the metal ions on the test adsorbent with good mathematical fits into Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Regression correlation (R2) values of the isotherm plots are all positive (>0.9), which suggests too, that the adsorption fitted into the isotherms considered.

A polypyrrole/chitosan composite material was obtained by chemical polymerization. The adsorption performance of a hot-molded polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode was tested by adsorption/desorption experiments. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy both showed the deposition of polypyrrole on the chitosan surface. The specific capacitance of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite was determined by cyclic voltammetry in 1.0 M KCl at 0.01 V/s as 102.96 F/g. The adsorption/desorption experiments indicated that the specific adsorption capacity of the composite for Cu2+ was 99.67 mg/g, while the removal performance for other metal ions, such as Ag+, Pb2+, and Cd2+, was good. The results of multicycle adsorption/desorption tests showed that the adsorption rate of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode for Cu2+ was decreased from 56.4 to 51.4% over 10 cycles, demonstrating the stable metal-ion adsorption/desorption behavior of the composite electrode. The obtained performances show that the prepared polypyrrole/chitosan composite material is an ideal electrode material for the removal of heavy metal ions.

Silk fibroin/cellulose acetate blend Nanofibrous membranes were prepared by electro- spinning and their performances were evaluated as a heavy metal ion adsorbent. The electrospun nanofibrous membranes were comprised of randomly oriented ultra-fine fibers of 100-600nm diameters. As a result of field emission electron microscope (FEEM), compared with pure nanofibrous membranes, the anti-felting shrinkage of SF/CA blend nanofibrous membranes with 20% CA content was markedly improved after treatment with 100% ethanol. Metal ion adsorption test was performed with Cu2+ as a model heavy metal ion in a stock solution. The pure SF nanofibrous membranes exhibited high metal ion capacities compared with that pure CA nanofibrous membrane. Especially, the SF/CA blend nanofibrous membranes had an exceptional performance for the adsorption of metal ions, and the maximum milligrams per gram of metal ions adsorbed reached 22.8mg/g for Cu2+. This indicated that SF and CA had synergetic effect.

In this study, polyacrylonitrile-amidoxime nanofibers were prepared by combining the technique of electrospinning and chemical modification with hydroxylamine chloride. Before modified the Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were bonded with two layers Ethylene-Propylene Side By Side (ES) thermal bonded nonwovens to improve its mechanical strength. Subsequently, they were applied to adsorb copper ions. The results of FT-IR spectra and scanning electron microscope indicated that nitrile groups in PAN were partly converted into amidoxime groups and there were no serious cracks on the surface of PAN-amidoxime nanofibers. The adsorption data of Cu (II) ions was fitted roughly with the Langmuir isotherm. The maximal adsorption capacities of Cu (II) ions reached 176 mg/g.

Natural water gets contaminated with heavy metal ions because of industrial effluents' discharge into the aquatic environment. As these heavy metal ions cause various health hazards, they should be removed from the aqueous solution. Heavy metal ion concentration in the aqueous solution is very less, so conventional metal removal and recovery processes cannot be applied here. The adsorption method is a great alternative to all these processes as it is a cost-effective and easy method. The use of natural, low-cost materials as adsorbents is eco-friendly also. However, metal uptake capacity of low-cost materials is very less. So, modification is required for low-cost materials to increase their efficiency. In the present review, different modification procedures adopted by different researchers have been discussed. Different low-cost materials used are sawdust, fruit and vegetable wastes, soil, minerals, etc. The modifying agents are heat, acids, bases, and other chemicals. Nevertheless, most of the studies are limited to batch tests only. Future research should be carried out on the extension of batch tests to column study for the large-scale treatment of contaminated water, and the cost of modification procedures and their impact on the environment should also be assessed.

The removal of Pb (II) and Cu (II) ions by using marine red macroalgae (Gracilaria changii) as a biosorbent material was evaluated through the batch equilibrium technique. The effect of solution pH on the removal of metal ions was investigated within the range of 2–7. The response surface methodology (RSM) technique involving central composite design (CCD) was utilised to optimise the three main sorption parameters, namely initial metal ion concentration, contact time, and biosorbent dosage, to achieve maximum ion removal. The models’ adequacy of response was verified by ANOVA. The optimum conditions for removal of Pb (II) and Cu (II) were as follows: pH values of 4.5 and 5, initial concentrations of 40 mg/L, contact times of 115 and 45 min, and biosorbent dosage of 1 g/L, at which the maximum removal percentages were 96.3% and 44.77%, respectively. The results of the adsorption isotherm study showed that the data fitted well with the Langmuir’s model for Pb (II) and Cu (II). The results of the adsorption kinetic study showed that the data fitted well with the pseudo-second order model for Pb (II) and Cu (II). In conclusion, red alga biomass exhibits great potential as an efficient low-cost sorbent for removal of metal ions.

An easy route for preparation emulsion of kaolinite (Al2Si2O5.4H2O) from Sweileh sand deposits, west Amman, Jordan by hydrochloric acid under continuous stirring for 4 h at room temperature was performed and nano kaolinite powder was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions. Nano kaolinite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM techniques. Effect of pH, adsorbent dose, initial metal ion concentration, contact time and temperature on adsorption process was examined. The negative values of ΔGo and the positive value of ΔHo revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The Langmuir isotherm model fitted well to metal ions adsorption data and the adsorption capacity. The kinetic data provided the best correlation of the adsorption with pseudo-second order kinetic model. In view of promising efficiency, the nano kaolinite can be employed for heavy metal ions adsorption.

The removal of the metal ions in the ceramic printing wastewater was influenced by using, stirring and precipitating of the solution pH, coagulant PAC, coagulant aid PAM and heavy metal scavenger. This experiment investigated the removal effect of the metal ions in the wastewater under different conditions. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry was adopted for the determination of the concentration of metal ions in the wastewater. The studies have shown that alkalization, PAC coagulation treatment have a role in the removal of metal ions in the ceramic printing wastewater. And the chromium and iron removal rate can reached 74.0% and 61.6% respectively. Heavy metal scavenger also have a better role in the removal of metal ions. And the chromium and iron removal rates were 82.3% and 76.2% respectively without dosing PAC. The number of reaction cell has no significant effect on the removal of metal ions.
