In the present study, we have used the waste leaves of Myrica esculenta for the removal of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions from the synthetically prepared waste water. The adsorption based removal process has been carried out under the batch system. The batch system was included pH, contact time, dosage, concentration and temperature. The maximum removal efficiency was achieved at optimized conditions i.e. higher contact time, higher pH, lower metal ion concentrations and moderate temperatures. The presence of various organic binding groups was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The percentage adsorption of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions was found 97.02%, 92.52% and 81.99% at pH 6 after contact time 25 minutes. The data of adsorption were tested with Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The adsorption capacity of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions was evaluated as 8.264, 5.617 and 7.751mgg-1 by Langmuir isotherm model.

Biosorption of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions by modified of two kinds of marine algae, Sargassum glaucescens and Gracilaria corticata In this research, the batch removal of Pb2+ ions from wastewater and aqueous solution with the use o two different modified algae Gracilaria corticata (red algae) and Sargassum glaucescens (brown algae) was examined. The experiment was performed in a batch system and the effect of the pH solution; initial concentration and contact time on biosorption by both biomasses were investigated and compared. When we used S. glaucescens as a biosorbent, the optima conditions of pH, Pb2+ concentration and equilibrium time were at 5, 200 mg/L and 70 min, in the range of 95.6% removal. When G. corticata was used for this process, pH 3, 15 mg/L pb2+ concentration and 50 min contact time, resulted in the maximum removal (86.4%). The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted to the Frundlich and Langmuir isotherm model, by S. glaucescens and G. corticata, respectively. The pb2+ uptake by both biosorbent was best described by the second-order rate model.

The adsorption capacity of chromium(III) from synthetic waste water solution by a low cost biomaterial, Jute Stick Powder (JSP)was examined. A series of batch experiments were conducted at different pH values, adsorbent dosage and initial chromium concentration to investigate the effects of these experimental conditions. To analyze the metal adsorption on to the JSP, most common adsorption isotherm models were applied. To study the reaction rate, the kinetic and diffusion models were also applied. The morphological structure and variation of functional groups in the JSP before and after adsorption was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Maximum chromium removal capacities of JSP was 84.34%with corresponding equilibrium uptake 8.4 mg/g from 50 mg/L of synthetic metal solution in 60 minutes of contact time at pH = 6.0 and 28 °C with continuous stirring at 180 rpm. The percent sorption of the biomass decreased with increasing concentration of metal ion but increased with decreasing pH, increasing contact time and adsorbent doses. Data for this study indicated a good correspondence with both isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. The analysis of kinetic indicated that Chromium was consistent with the second-order kinetic adsorption model. The rate of removal of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solution by JSP was found rapid initially within 5-30 minutes and reached in equilibrium in about 40 minutes. The investigation revealed that JSP, a low cost agricultural byproduct, was a potential adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution.

Mining industries frequently generates acid mine drainage (AMD) either by its operating or abandoned mines which are often characterized by an elevated levels of certain heavy metals, sulphate, low pH and some other toxic impurities in mine water creates environmental and ecological problems. Present study planned to suggest role of alga Spirogyra verrucosa in Manganese (Mn) removal by biosorption process from the mine water of Manganese mines of Nagpur District, Vidarbha Region, Maharashtra. The biosorption of Mn(II) ions from aqueous solution by using dead green algal (S.verrucosa) biomass was investigated by studying effect of pH, temperature, quantity of biosorbent, contact time as well as initial metal ion concentration. The optimized values obtained with respect to these parameters clearly indicates that pH 5, temperature 30°C, biosorbent quantity 1.0 gm/l, contact time 120 min. and initial metal ion concentration 50mg/l were the basic requirement for the biosorption of Mn(II) ions by dead algal biomass. Also, the biosorption kinetic and isotherm modeling applied to the equilibrium data for biosorption of Mn(II) ions onto alga reveals the fitness of the pseudo-second-order rate expression (R2=0.994) as well as the suitability of Langmuir (R2=0.859) and Freundlich (R2=0.761) isotherm models with an indication of the applicability of this metal ion-dried algal system for removal of Mn(II) ions in a monolayer biosorption as well as heterogenous surface conditions. However, comparatively biosorption equilibrium was better described by Langmuir isotherm model with monolayer biosorption capacity of S.verrucosa biomass 21.80 mg/g. Also, the maximum removal 40.66 mg/g (80.20%) of Mn(II) ion by alga under optimized conditions promises the potential use in mine water treatment technology.

Adsorption of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions was studied in a batch system using modified human hair. The optimum conditions for the adsorption of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solution by human hair were investigated by considering the extent of adsorption with respect to contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature. The results obtained indicates that the extent of metal ions removed decreases with increasing contact time but increased with increase in the initial metal ion concentration. The adsorption equilibrium data best fitted Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions onto human hair is endothermic, spontaneous and is characterised by increasing degree of orderliness.

Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang kecekapan penjerap yang lebih murah, iaitu tayar getah terbuang (DRT), dalam menyingkirkan toluena daripada fasa akuas. Penjerapan toluena pada tayar getah terbuang dikaji menggunakan sistem berkelompok pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Daripada kajian ini, didapati toluena dapat disingkirkan sehingga 70% dengan menggunakan julat kepekatan awalan antara 50 mg/l hingga 300 mg/l. Dengan menggunakan model keseimbangan terlelurus, iaitu model Langmuir dan Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan maksimum dapat ditentukan. Daripada data eksperimen, terbukti bahawa walaupun kedua–dua model isoterma Langmuir dan Freundlich boleh menjelaskan data isoterma, tetapi penjerapan toluena pada DRT dapat ditunjukkan dengan lebih baik oleh isoterma Freudlich. Bagi nilai K Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan ialah 6.6374 mg/l dan 7.7535 mg/l, pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Nilai eksponen n Freudlich adalah lebih daripada satu untuk kedua–dua suhu. Kata kunci: Toluena, penjerapan, isoterma, tayar getah terbuang, model isoterma Langmuir, model isoterma Freundlich This paper discusses the effectiveness of a less expensive adsorbent, a discarded rubber tyre (DRT) in removing toluene from aqueuos phase. Adsorption of toluene on a DRT has been studied by using batch system at 25 and 30°C. It was found that up to 70% of toluene was removed for the range of toluene initial concentrations studied between 50–300 mg/l. Using linearized forms of equilibrium models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich models, the maximum adsorptive capacities were determined. It was evident from the experimental data that, although both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could describe the isotherm data, the adsorption of toluene on a DRT was described well by the Freundlich isotherm. For Freundlich K values, sorption capacities were 6.6374 and 7.7535 mg/l at 25 and 30°C, respectively. The values of Freundlich exponent n were greater than one for both temperatures. Key words: Toluene, adsoprtion, isotherms, discarded rubber tyre, Langmuir isotherm model, Freundlich isotherm model

Highly porous and stable materials, such as alumina, silica, carbon, zeolite, and bentonite,  are well known and have been used as metal ion adsorbents. However, the use of biogenic carbon as adsorbent is relatively rare. The adsorption of copper(II) onto activated carbon extracted from Salcaca zalacca peel was studied. The effect of initial copper concentration, contact time, and a series temperature was studied. Adsorption was carried out in a batch technique. The adsorption equilibrium was reached after 60 minutes of contact time. The adsorption data had a better fitting line for the Langmuir isotherm model. The Langergren and also Ho and Mc Kay equations were used to predict the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption process obeyed a second-order kinetics model. The Thermodynamic parameters were ∆H°= -42.4180 kJ/mol; ∆S°= -0.0843 kJ/mol; ∆G°<0. These values indicated that the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. The low ∆G° value revealed that the main mechanism controlling the adsorption process was physisorption.

Exposure to toxic concentrations of Cu (II) continues to rise as developing countries undergo rapid industrialization. Because of its high solubility in water, improperly disposed copper contaminate our water sources in its aqueous Cu (II) form. A nanofiber membrane composed of iron-modified montmorillonite (Fe-MMt) dispersed in polycaprolactone (PCL) was electrospun for the adsorption of Cu (II) ions. Kinetics and isotherm models were used to study the adsorption behavior of the fabricated membrane. The adsorption capacity of this membrane was observed as a function of increasing contact time and initial Cu (II) ion concentration. Kinetic studies showed that Cu (II) adsorption follows a pseudo-second order kinetic model, while isotherm studies determined the adsorption to be monolayer as described by the Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, it was observed that the adsorption capacity increases with increasing contact time, and with increasing initial metal ion concentration up to a maximum value of 6.44 mgg-1. Lastly, the Dubinin-Kaganer-Radushkevich isotherm was used to calculate for the sorption energy and determine the type of adsorption. A sorption energy of-5.83 kJmol-1 was obtained, thus the adsorption was classified to be physical.

Organic waste materials and semi-products containing cellulose are used as low-cost adsorbents that are able to compete with conventional sorbents. In addition, their capacity to bind heavy metal ions can be intensified by chemical treatments using mineral and organic acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and organic compounds. In this paper, we studied the biosorption capacity of natural and modified wooden sawdust of poplar, cherry, spruce, and hornbeam in order to remove heavy metals from acidic model solutions. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed changes of the functional groups due to the alkaline modification of sawdust, which manifested in the considerably increased intensity of the hydroxyl peaks. The adsorption isotherm models clearly indicated that the adsorptive behavior of metal ions in treated sawdust satisfied not only the Langmuir model, but also the Freundlich model. The adsorption data obtained for studied sorbents were better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model for both metals, except for spruce sawdust. Surface complexation and ion exchange are the major mechanisms involved in metal ion removal. We investigated the efficiency of the alkaline modified sawdust for metal removal under various initial concentrations of Cu(II) and Zn(II) from model solutions. The highest adsorption efficiency values (copper 94.3% at pH 6.8 and zinc 98.2% at pH 7.3) were obtained for poplar modified by KOH. For all types of sawdust, we found that the sorption efficiency of modified sorbents was higher in comparison to untreated sawdust. The value of the pH initially increased more in the case of modified sawdust (8.2 for zinc removal with spruce NaOH) and then slowly decreased (7.0 for Zn(II) with spruce NaOH).

In the present study, we have synthesized α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles by using the leaf extract of Syzygium cumini. The applying green synthetic process is very efficient, low cost and can be applicable in the large scale operations. The freshly synthesized dried nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, FT-IR, XRD and FESEM. The α-Fe2O3 (haematite) nanoparticles have now used as effective nano-adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions from synthetically prepared wastewater under batch conditions. The batch system included contact time, dosage, pH, concentration and temperature. The maximum adsorption efficiency was found at optimized conditions such as contact time 60 min, higher acidic pH 6, higher dosage of sorbent 1.0 g and lower metal ion concentration 10 mg/L. For Pb(II) ions, 59.79, 85.10, 51.39 and 36.81 % adsorption was found at contact time 60 minutes, pH 6, dosage 1 g and metal ion concentration 10 mg/L. Similarly, for Cu(II) ions at same conditions, the adsorption was found to be 49.88, 69.73, 53.77 and 20.68 %, respectively. The equilibrium data of adsorption have been tested by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The adsorption data were best fitted to Langmuir isotherm model with the regression values R2 = 0.984 for Cu(II) ions and R2 = 0.9383 for Pb(II) ions. The adsorption capacity of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles for Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions was found 7.535 and 6.480 mg/g, respectively.
