Synthetic dye wastewater from textile industries is characterized by strong color, high temperature, variable pH and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). The strong color of wastewater affects aesthetic and water transparency of water bodies. The metabolites could be toxic to aquatic biota and posing a potential hazard to human health. Eventually, it will cause severe environmental problems. One of method that has advantages in term of simplicity to remove synthetic dyes is adsorption. Environmentally benign and low-cost materials to make adsorbent are biomass-based materials. Two different biomaterial wastes of rice straw and oil palm midrib were used in this study to develop activated carbon adsorbents. These adsorbents were applied for the removal of Naphtol AS-G dye in aqueous solution. The effects of solution pH, adsorbents masses and contact time on dye adsorption were evaluated based on batch experiments. Removal of dye can be achieved within 60 minutes at a wide pH range starting from 4 to 8. At lower pH, synthetic dye removal was decreasing probably due to protonation of adsorbent’s active sites. The adsorption isotherms based on Langmuir and Freundlich models were analyzed. The isotherms analysis indicated that the adsorption by rice straw and oil palm can be represented by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. Adsorption isotherms of Naphtol AS-G onto activated carbon are favorable with high adsorption capacity for both biomaterials. The mechanisms of color removal by activated carbon involved chemical and physical adsorption, in accordance with both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The calculated maximum dye adsorption capacities onto rice straw and oil palm midrib activated carbon were 55.86 and 69.44 mg/g, respectively. Adsorption using biomass-based activated carbon offers a good technique for textile wastewater treatment as it could remove up to 95% of the color intensity besides reducing other pollutants such as COD, nitrate and phosphate.

Abstract The adsorption isotherms of Reactive Red 120 (RR-120) on Brazilian pine-fruit shell activated carbon, at six temperatures (298, 303, 308, 313, 318 and 323 K) and pH = 6, were determined and interpreted using a double layer model with one energy. A statistical physics treatment established the formulation of this model. Steric and energetic parameters related to the adsorption process, such as the number of adsorbed molecules per site, the receptor sites density and the concentration at half-saturation, have been considered. Thermodynamic potential functions such as entropy, internal energy and Gibbs free enthalpy are analyzed, and the choice of the models is based on assumptions in correlation with experimental conditions. By numerical fitting, the investigated parameters were deduced. The theoretical expressions provide a good understanding and interpretation of the adsorption isotherms at the microscopic level. We believe that our work contributes to new theoretical insights on the dye adsorption in order to know the physical nature of the adsorption process.

Abstract Most of the dyes are carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. Plants are potential candidates to remediate textile dye wastewater from contaminated sites. The present study aimed to screen potential plant species for removal of synthetic dye solution of triarylmethane dye Methylene Blue (MB) and diazo dye Congo Red (CR). The six plants selected for screening are Trachyspermum ammi,Tagetes erecta, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Chrysanthemum indicum, Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi, and Catharanthus roseus. The phytotreatment of dyes was done up to 40 h for two different concentrations of dyes, i.e., 10 and 20 mg L−1. Among screened plant species, the maximum decolorization was obtained from T. ammi followed by B. fedtschenkoi.Both of these plant species showed active growth even after the phytoremediation process. T. ammi decolorized the MB dye 99% (10 mg L−1) and 86% (20 mg L−1) while the decolorization of the CR dye solution was up to 95%(10 mg L−1) and 84% (20 mg L−1). T. ammiwas found to have maximum potential among screened plants for the removal of MB and CR dye from synthetic dye solution and can be used forphytoremediation of wastewater contaminated with synthetic dyes.

In this study, granular activated carbon, GAC, was modified by oxidation with HO and NaClO aqueous solutions and heat treatment at 900°C. The N adsorption isotherms at − 196°C and SEM and FTIR results were used to characterize the properties of the prepared ACs. Textural parameters such as BET surface area and pore volumes were assessed by gas adsorption. The BET surface area values of solids were between 687 and 876 m2g-1. Additionally, immersion enthalpies of activated carbons in benzene, water, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions and Ni(II) and Cd(II) solutions of 500 mgL were determined, with values between 32 and 145 Jg-1. Ni(II) and Cd(II) adsorption isotherms were determined at pH 6 on activated carbons and competitive adsorption tests were realized between the two ions. The results show that in the tests carried out, the adsorption capacity decreased when the content of chemical groups on the surface also decreased. Finally, the experimental results of adsorption from the solution were adjusted to the Langmuir and Freundlich models and the first model was found to be better. With maximum adsorption capacities, the values for Ni(II) were between 3.99 and 64.9 mgg-1 and for Cd(II) were between 2.61 and 55.2 mgg-1. The values of the competitive adsorption ions present in the solution, Ni(II) and Cd(II), in the activated carbons, decreased compared to those obtained in the simple adsorption, indicating the effect of the an ion competitive presence in adsorption another.

Background: Bulk generated textile wastewater loaded with dyes is posing a stern threat to aquatic health, especially when dumped without prior treatment. Lignocellulosic waste based activated carbon (AC) and Titania (TiO2) suspension can constitute the emerging technological solution. Objectives: Best lignocellulosic precursor biomass, Melia azedarach (Darek sawdust - DSD), was selected for ortho-phosphoric acid impregnated AC production and novel AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite was developed. AC-DSD and AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposites were employed for reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye adsorption in batch and decoloration in photocatalytic reactors, respectively. Methods: Materials were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For AC-DSD production, the raw powdered biomass of DSD impregnated (value = 2) with H3PO4 at room temperature and after shaking, was placed in a muffle furnace at 100°C for 12 h in glass tubes and subsequently carbonized at a high temperature of 400°C for 30 min. Batch reactor parameters for the ACDSD- RO16 system were optimized as a function of contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature, initial dye concentration and pH. For AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite synthesis, AC-DSD and TiO2 paste was dried in the furnace at 90°C and calcined at 300°C and stored in a desiccator. Results: AC-DSD exhibited RO16 adsorption capacity of 92.84 mg/g. The experimental data were best described by Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms with high R2 of 0.9995 and 0.9895 and closeness of predicted adsorption capacities of 94.15 and 88.58 mg/g respectively. This determines the chemisorption nature for RO16 adsorption onto AC-DSD. The experimental data was well explained by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters also suggest the endothermic, chemisorption and spontaneous adsorption reaction. Photocatalytic studies of novel AC-DSD-TiO2 revealed the higher Kc = 0.1833 value over Kad= 0.0572. Conclusions: Melia azedarach AC-DSD and its novel AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite prove that these materials could provide an optimal solution for treating textile dye solutions effectively as the good adsorbent and photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT Dye degradation is a significant topic in environmental science, since dyes can bring several problems to the environment. Activated carbon (AC) is an important material used as adsorbent of these hazardous substances, but need to be improved especially into specific substances. This paper aimed to evaluate the impact of activated carbon surface modified by corona treatment (electric discharge) on adsorption of different dyes. Activated carbons were treated by corona treatment to cause surface modification, modifying exposure time to treatment (2, 5, 8 and 10 minutes). Evaluation of adsorption was performed by adsorption isotherms and kinetic adsorption. Dyes differed in their charge (anionic or cationic) and molecular weight. Dyes used were Methylene Blue (cationic) and Congo Red (anionic). Surface area and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were also conducted. Surface chemistry was impacted by corona treatment and interfered in dye adsorption. There was decrease of dye adsorption for both dyes according to time exposure. However, the decrease of Methylene Blue (25%) was higher than Congo Red (14%), suggesting that either charge or molecule weight interfere in the adsorption isotherms. In kinetic adsorption, there was no difference between treatments, although there was a difference in adsorption equilibrium. SEM showed that surface was impacted (pore destruction) by corona treatment. Furthermore, estimated surface area was strongly impacted by the treatment, reducing with the increase of time exposure. Thus, textural properties might have contributed to reduce adsorption capacity of both dyes and play a higher role than chemical properties.
