Abstract We demonstrate here that lignin can be successfully combined with silica to create a multifunctional material with considerable sorption capabilities. Experiments were carried out in which a silica/lignin hybrid was used for the removal of lead(II) ions from water solutions. Adsorption kinetics were also determined and preliminary regeneration tests were performed. The effectiveness of the adsorption process depends on the following parameters: contact time of adsorbent and adsorbate (equilibrium times: 5 min for concentration 25 mg/L, 10 min for 50 and 75 mg/L, 60 min for 100 mg/L), pH (optimal pH = 5) and adsorbent mass. The kinetics of the adsorption of lead(II) ions on the SiO2/lignin biosorbent are best described by a pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption isotherms of lead(II) ions were also determined. The experimental data were found to be in agreement with the Langmuir model, and the maximal sorption capacity of the adsorbent with respect to lead(II) was 89.02 mg/g.

A novel adsorbent consisting of polyethyleneimine-modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (PEI-MWCNTs) was synthesized by grafting PEI on the carboxyl MWCNTs. The surface properties of the PEI-MWCNTs were measured by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared, and zeta potential. The adsorption behavior of the PEI-MWCNTs was investigated using sunset yellow FCF as adsorbate. The effects of dosage of adsorbent, the initial pH of solution, contact time and temperature on the adsorption capacity were studied. Then, the kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption process were further investigated. Experimental results showed that the adsorption kinetics fitted a pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption isotherms agreed well with the Langmuir model. The adsorption process occurred very fast and the adsorption capacity of PEI-MWCNTs was much higher than that of many of the previously reported adsorbents. Additionally, the plausible adsorption mechanism was discussed.

Dry waters with an average diameter of 82 μm were prepared by a high speed mixed route. The formaldehyde absorption kinetics of dry waters was investigated by simulating indoor formaldehyde pollution in glass chamber. The results showed that pseudo-second order model could be used to simulate the adsorption process; the adsorption rate was highest in the initial 60 minutes; when the adsorption lasted for 180 minutes, the adsorption reached equilibrium.

In this research, Polyaniline coated sawdust (Polyaniline nano composite) was synthesized via direct chemical polymerization and used as an adsorbent for the removal of acid dye (Acid Violet 49) from aqueous solutions. The effect of some important parameters such as pH, initial concentration of dye, contact time and temperature on the removal efficiency was investigated in batch adsorption system. The adsorption capacity of PAC was high (96.84 %) at a pH of 3-4. The experimental data fitted well for pseudo second order model. Langmuir model is more appropriate to explain the nature of adsorption with high correlation coefficient. The Energy of activation from arrehenius plot suggested that the adsorption of AV49 onto PAC involves physisorption mechanism.

Among the investigated clays and minerals (kaolinite, natural zeolite, manual zeolite, bentonite, sepiolite, sepiolite amianthus, tremolite amianthus, vermiculite and baritite), the baritite clay was selected as the optimal adsorbent for aqueous Cr (VI). The Cr (VI) adsorption capacity on baritite clay reached as high as 39.01 mg∙g−1 at 20°C. Then the adsorption kinetics of Cr (VI) by the baritite clay were investigated in details. Results showed that the pseudo-second-order model was a suitable description for the adsorption kinetics and fitted well with the experimental data.

1, 10-phenanthroline and triethylamine modified palygorskites were prepared by microwave irradiation, and characterized with FT-IR technique. The effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH value of the initial solution on the adsorption characters of Mn2+ were investigated. The adsorption of Mn2+ from aqueous solutions using 1, 10-phenanthroline or triethylamine modified palygorskites were investigated. Experiment results indicated that 1,10-phenanthroline and triethylamine molecules have been successfully grafted to palygorskite. The adsorption was rapid during the first 5 minuts and equilibrium were attained within 60 minutes in the initial concentration of Mn2+ of 50 and 100 mg•L-1, and fast adsorption in the first 10 minutes and slowly increased with the contact time due to the adsorption of palygorskite. The 1, 10-phenanthroline modified palygorskites had higher adsorption capacity than triethylamine modified palygorskites. Compared with natural palggorskites, the Mn2+ ions adsorption capacities of palggorskite modified by 1, 10-phenanthroline or triethylamine were significantly improved. There were less difference in the adsorption capacity between different dasages of 1, 10-phenanthroline modified palygorskites, but the adsorption capacity of Mn2+ adsorbed onto triethylamine modified palygorskites decreased with increasing the dosages. A Lagergren pseudo-second order model best described the kinetics of adsorption of Mn2+ onto the modified palygorskites.

The study investigates the sorption of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) by Nsukka urban soils, a Nigeria soil classified as an ultisol soil of tropics. Laboratory batch technique was utilized to investigate the effect of pH, temperature, contact time, and concentration on the adsorption process. Results showed that adsorption efficiency of the soils for Cd2+ and Pb2+ increased with increase in pH, temperature, and contact time but decreased with increase in concentration. The data from adsorption study was fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherms, and results revealed that Langmuir isotherm fitted most satisfactorily. On the basis of the obtained maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) from the Langmuir model, the affinity of Cd and Pb for the studied soil was Pb2+ > Cd2+. Pseudo-second order (r2 ≥ 0.995-0.999) best described the kinetics of the sorption process for the metal ions in the soil.

Amino-thiol bifunctional polysilsesquioxane/carbon nanotubes (PSQ/CNTs) magnetic composites were prepared by sol-gel method with two types of functional siloxanes coating on carboxyl CNTs simultaneously. The composites were served as efficient adsorbents for removing Hg(II) in aqueous solution and the adsorption properties were investigated systematically. The optimal pH of bifunctional composites for Hg(II) removal is at pH 4.5. The thermodynamic fitting curves are more consistent with the Langmuir model and the adsorption capacities of the bifunctional composites for Hg(II) varied from 1.63 to 1.94 mmol g−1 at 25°C according to the Langmuir model. The kinetics curves are more fitted to the pseudo-second-order model and the composites could selectively adsorb Hg(II) in a series of binary metal ions solution. The elution regeneration tests showed that the adsorption rate could still reach 78% after repeat cycle three times. It is expected that the bifunctional PSQ/CNTs magnetic composites can be potentially applied to remove low concentration Hg(II) from waste water.

As a kind of ideal porous absorbents with tunable porosity, large surface areas, and hydrophobicity, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have recently received extensive attention in oil/organic solvent-water separation. However, reports on the application of CMPs in adsorption of erythromycin (ERY) from water are very few. In this work, the adsorption of ERY by three kinds of CMPs was firstly studied. It was observed that all the CMPs extracted ERY quickly from water. The adsorption kinetics of ERY on the three CMPs was well expressed by the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption process was found to be mainly controlled by film diffusion. Increasing surface area of the CMPs resulted in greater extent of adsorption. This work may provide fundamental guidance for removal of antibiotics by CMPs.

The adsorption of fuchsine by peanut husk, which was crosslinked by epichlorohydrin was studied with variation in the parameters of contact time, pH, initial fuchsine concentration and temperature. They were used for equilibrium adsorption uptake studies with fuchsine. The results indicate that adsorption equilibrium could be well described by both the Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherm equation. The adsorption followed the pseudo-second order model. The thermodynamic constants of the adsorption process were also evaluated, which suggest an endothermic adsorption process which runs spontaneously.
