Adsorption is potentially an attractive technique for the treatment of wastewater containing dyes. In the present work, spent fluid catalytic cracking catalyst (SFCC), a petroleum refinery waste was explored as a novel adsorbent and report its adsorption capability for the first time in the literature. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to remove methylene blue (MB) dye using SFCC. The equilibrium data was modeled using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models. Also, the van’t Hoff equation was used to obtain the thermodynamic contributions of the process. Results show that the plot of intraparticle diffusion model (considering only film diffusion) has less R2 value (0.887); it seems that the plot is nonlinear. Hence, the data points were represented by a double linear set of equations (lines) considering both pore & film diffusion. In the first straight line, the sudden increase in slope signifies that the dye molecules were transported to the external surface of the adsorbent through film diffusion. The second straight line signifies that the dye molecules diffused through the pores. The portion which does not pass through the origin indicates that the pore diffusion is the only rate-determining step for the transport of MB onto SFCC.

This study was carried out using Alfisol as an adsorbent to adsorb Cadmium and Glyphosate both of which are common inorganic and organic contaminants. The soil samples were air-dried and allowed to pass through 2mm sieve before use while its analysis was done following the standard procedures. The kinetic data were tested with pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, and it was concluded that both adsorbates adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics, while the nature and the mechanism of adsorption processes were studied by using an intraparticle diffusion model. A complete linear plot of intraparticle diffusion was obtained for glyphosate which suggests that intraparticle diffusion was the rate-controlling step in its adsorption but the opposite is the case for cadmium adsorption. The peak removal of cadmium occurred after 50 minutes with equilibrium attained over 250 minutes while peak glyphosate removal was achieved after 30 minutes. It can be concluded that Alfisol can be effectively used for the adsorption of both Cadmium and Glyphosate thus showcasing a potential environmental remediation process.

In this study, the removal efficiency of Pb(II) from industrial leachate was investigated by using expanded perlite by adsorption. The effects of pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage were examined on the Pb(II) removal. The adsorption kinetics were tested to understand the adsorption mechanism using three kinetic models, i.e., Elovich, intraparticle diffusion, and the pseudo second order reaction kinetic models. As the result, the best conformity kinetic model for Pb(II) adsorption on expanded perlite was described as the pseudo second-order (R2>0.99). It is indicated that chemisorption is the determining step of adsorption process rather than mass transfer from industrial leachate. According to the data obtained from intraparticle diffusion model, the adsorption is composed of more than one step. This can be attributed to the fact that the adsorption in the final portion was the intraparticle diffusion while the adsorption in the first portion was the film diffusion. Both film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion processes in the adsorption of Pb(II) on expanded perlite are significant. This study indicated that expanded perlite was an influential alternative adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) by adsorption from industrial leachate.

For the protection of human and ecological receptors from the effects of soil pollution with chemical compounds, we need to know the behavior and transport of pollutants in soil. This work investigated the Congo red (CR) acid dye sorption on three natural soils collected from central and northeastern regions of Romania, symbolized as IS-65, IS-T, and MH-13. To define the mechanism of sorption and identify the rate governing step, various diffusion models such as Weber–Morris intraparticle diffusion, Boyd, film and pores diffusion, and mass transfer analysis have been verified. The intraparticle diffusion analysis of Congo red sorption onto soils has been described by a multi-linear plots, showing that the sorption process takes place by surface sorption and intraparticle diffusion in macro, meso, and micropores. The values of intraparticle diffusion coefficient kid increased with any rise of the initial concentration of pollutant. The results show that the values of pore diffusion coefficient (Dp) and film diffusion coefficient (Df) are found to be from 10−8 to 10−10 cm2 s−1, indicating that film diffusion influences the sorption rate limiting step. The intraparticle diffusion analysis shows that the plots did not pass through the origin and have two distinct parts, confirming that intraparticle diffusion is not the single determining mechanism involved in the sorption of Congo red on soils IS-65, IS-T, and MH-13. The results revealed that the sorption process has a complex nature, since both external diffusion and internal diffusion are involved in the sorption of CR from solution onto the investigated soils.

Train derailments in railway switches are becoming more and more common, which have caused serious casualties and economic losses. Most previous studies ignored the derailment mechanism when vehicles pass through the turnout. With this consideration, this work aims to research the 3D derailment coefficient limit and passing performance in turnouts through the quasi-static analysis and multi-body dynamic simulation. The proposed derailment criteria have considered the influence of creep force and wheelset yaw angle. Results show that there are two derailing stages in switch panel, which are climbing the switch rail and stock rail, respectively. The 3D derailment coefficient limit at the region of top width 5 mm to 20 mm is much lower than the main track rail, which shows that wheels are more likely to derail in this area. The curve radius before the switch rail is suggested to be set as 350 m. When the curve radius before turnout is 65 m, the length of the straight line between the curve and turnout needs to be larger than 3 m. This work can provide a good understanding of the derailment limit and give guidance to set safety criteria when vehicles pass through the turnout.

Experiments investigating lead adsorption by activated sawdust of different particle sizes of two timber species were conducted. The experimental data were fitted to isothermal and kinetic models. The optimum particle size was 0.85 mm for Khaya ivorensis and 1.18 mm for Pycanthus angolensis. The adsorption of lead by Khaya ivorensis and Pycanthus angolensis conformed to the Langmuir isotherm (0.83 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.96 and 0.86 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.98, respectively) and Freundlich isotherm (0.69 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.97 and 0.94 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.0, respectively). The adsorption process for the two species of timber was controlled by solute transport in the bulk liquid and intraparticle diffusion which was confirmed by good agreement of experimental data with pseudo-first-order kinetics (0.96 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.0 for Khaya ivorensis and 0.9 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.0 for Pycanthus angolensis) and the intraparticle diffusion model (0.9 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.99 for Khaya ivorensis and 0.84 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.97 for Pycanthus angolensis). A new kinetic model was developed with R2 of 0.93 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.99 for Khaya ivorensis and 0.88 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.0 for Pycanthus angolensis.

Dumpsite leachate has the potential to pollute ground and surface water as well as vegetation within the vicinity of the dumpsite.  Its treatment therefore needs adequate attention. The aim of this work is to study the adsorption of Soluos dumpsite leachate treatment using Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent with a view of establishing the adsorption isotherm model. Musa sapientum peels sourced from Ayetoro market in Epe area of Lagos State, Nigeria were used to prepare the adsorbent. Batch adsorption was carried out with various dosage of the prepared absorbent in leachate collected from Soluos dumpsite in Lagos. The adsorption data obtained were fitted into Linear, Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Hasley isotherm models. The results showed that the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the dumpsite leachate decreased as the adsorbent dosage increased. At adsorbent dosage of 10 g/L, the concentration of TDS in the leachate was 485.7 mg/L which was less than the 500 mg/L stipulated by National Environmental Standard and Regulatory Agency (NAESRA) for the discharge of wastewater. The coefficient of determination (R2) values for Linear, Freundlich and Hasley, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models were 0.9944, 0.9936, 0.8562 and 0.9723 respectively. Linear isotherm model was jettisoned because the plot did not pass through the origin and Freundlich isotherm model was ignored as a result of N value which was less than unity hence Hasley isotherm model was adopted in this work. A good correlation existed between the experimental and predicted values, having a R2 value of 0.9965 which further validated the Hasley isotherm model as the best adsorption model for the treatment of Soluos dumpsite leachate using Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent. It was concluded that Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent can be used for treatment of Soluos dumpsite leachate.

Mesophilic biomass and thermophilic biomass samples were isolated and used to remove Dorasyn Red dye from aqueous solutions. The biosorption kinetics of dye uptake by four different types of biomass at three temperatures (20, 30, and 40 °C) were investigated using pseudo-first order kinetics, pseudo-second order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, Elovich, and Bangham models. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the first stage of the intraparticle diffusion model were effective in describing the experimental kinetics data. The biosorption results showed that the mesophilic biomass samples could be useful for removing dye under acidic conditions.

Exposure to fluoride beyond the recommended level for longer duration causes both dental and skeletal fluorosis. Thus, the development of cost-effective, locally available, and environmentally benign adsorbents for fluoride removal from contaminated water sources is absolutely required. In the present study, diatomaceous earth (diatomite) locally available in Ethiopia, modified by treating it with an aluminum hydroxide solution, was used as an adsorbent for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were carried out by using batch contact method. The adsorbent was characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy. Effects of different parameters affecting efficiency of fluoride removal such as adsorbent dose, contact time, initial fluoride concentration, and pH were investigated and optimized. The optimum adsorbent dose, contact time, initial fluoride concentration, and pH values were 25 g/L, 180 min, 10 mg/L, and 6.7, respectively. The performance of the adsorbent was also tested under optimum conditions using groundwater samples taken from Hawassa and Ziway. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to describe the equilibrium data. Compared to Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.888), the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.985) model was better fitted to describe the adsorption characteristics of fluoride on Al-diatomite. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity was 1.67 mg/g. The pseudosecond-order model was found to be more suitable than the pseudofirst-order to describe the adsorption kinetics. The low correlation coefficient value of R2 = 0.596 for the intraparticle diffusion model indicates that the intraparticle diffusion model does not apply to the present studied adsorption system. The maximum fluoride removal was observed to be 89.4% under the optimum conditions which indicated that aluminum hydroxide-modified diatomite can be used as efficient, cheap, and ecofriendly adsorbents for the removal of fluoride from contaminated water.

Two cyclodextrins (CDs), γ– and hydroxypropyl (HP)–γ–CDs were used to synthesize new adsorbents by using epichlorohydrin (EPI) as cross-linking agent in order to remove Direct Red 83:1 (DR) from water. Both polymers were characterized in terms of Fourier spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, particle size distribution and thermogravimetric analysis. Experimental data for both polymers were well fitted to the pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion model, indicating that in the adsorption both chemical and physical interactions are essential in the removal of DR. Three different isotherm models were analyzed, concluding that γ–CDs–EPI followed the Temkin isotherm and HP–γ–CDs-EPI the Freundlich isotherm, these results suggested that the adsorption was happening onto heterogeneous surfaces. The results of the Gibbs free energy showed that the adsorption was spontaneous at room temperature. In order to eliminate the remaining dye after the polymer treatment, and advanced oxidation process (AOP) was considered, achieving more than 90% of removal combining both mechanisms.
