Armeniaca sibirica shell activated carbon (ASSAC) magnetized by nanoparticle Fe3O4 prepared from Armeniaca sibirica shell was investigated to determine its adsorption for Hg2+ from wastewater. Fe3O4/ASSAC was characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). Optimum adsorption parameters were determined based on the initial concentration of Hg2+, reaction time, reaction temperature, and pH value in adsorption studies. The experiment results demonstrated that the specific surface area of ASSAC decreased after magnetization; however the adsorption capacity and removal rate of Hg2+ increased 0.656 mg/g and 0.630%, respectively. When the initial concentration of Hg2+ solution was 250 mg/L and the pH value was 2, the adsorption time was 180 min and the temperature was 30 °C, and with the Fe3O4/ASSAC at 0.05 g, the adsorption reaching 97.1 mg/g, and the removal efficiency was 99.6%. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/ASSAC to Hg2+ was in accord with Freundlich isotherm models, and a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation was used to fit the adsorption best. The Gibbs free energy ΔGo < 0,enthalpy change ΔHo < 0, and entropy change ΔSo < 0 which manifested the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic process.

This study aims to prepare carbon from candlenut shell by carbonation and activation of 1M KOH which is used to adsorb Fe 2+ in solution. The activation process produces changes in structure and functional groups on activated carbon. This study studied the effect of carbonation temperatures of 800 o C with the concentration of activator is KOH 1M with 24 hours activation time. The initial concentration of the solution affects the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, the greater the initial concentration of the solution which is at 5 mg/L, the greater the adsorption capacity. Optimum adsorption occurs at pH 7 by providing an increase of Fe 2+ absorption of ± 7 mg/g and contact time is 120 minutes. The equilibrium review is used using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models , where the most suitable equilibrium is the Freundlich Isotherm model with a value of R 2 = 0.9 848 ; K F = 4,427 ; n = 3,475 . It can be concluded that the activated carbon from the candlenut shell is able to absorb Fe 2+ metal in FeSO 4 solution.

A lignocellulose@ activated clay (Ln@AC) nanocomposite with a hierarchical nanostructure was successfully synthesized by the chemical intercalation reaction and applied in the removal of Zn(II) from an aqueous solution. Ln@AC was characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and the results indicate that an intercalated–exfoliated hierarchical nanostructure was formed. The effects of different adsorption parameters on the Zn(II) removal rate (weight ratio of Ln to AC, Ln@AC dosage, initial Zn(II) concentration, pH value, adsorption temperature, and time) were investigated in detail. The equilibrium adsorption capacity reached 315.9 mg/g under optimal conditions (i.e., the weight ratio of Ln to AC of 3:1, Ln@AC dosage of 1 g/L, initial Zn(II) concentration of 600 mg/L, pH value of 6.8, adsorption temperature of 65 °C, and adsorption time of 50 min). The adsorption process was described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, Langmuir isotherm model, and the Elovich model. Moreover, Zn(II) could be easily eluted by HCl, and the effects of HCl concentration, desorption temperature, and ultrasonic desorption time on desorbed amount were tested. Desorption studies revealed that with an HCl concentration of 0.25 mol/L, desorption temperature of 70 °C, and ultrasonic desorption time of 20 min, the maximum desorption capacity and efficiency were achieved at 202.5 mg/g and 64.10%, respectively. Regeneration experimental results indicated that the Ln@AC exhibited a certain recyclable regeneration performance. Due to such outstanding features, the novel Ln@AC nanocomposite proved to have great adsorption potential for Zn(II) removal from wastewater, and exhibited an extremely significant amount of adsorbed Zn(II) when compared to conventional adsorbents.

The factors influencing the cationization of microcrystalline cellulose with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl triethylammonium chloride in the presence of NaOH were investigated. The course of the reaction was followed by estimating the nitrogen content of the cationized product while its structural features were confirmed by IR analysis. The ability of cationized cellulose to adsorb anionic dyes, viz. Acid Orange 7, Direct Blue 75 and Direct Violet 31, was investigated at 25°C and 50°C. The equilibrium data obtained were fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, allowing the corresponding adsorption parameters to be determined. The results showed that the adsorption capacity was dependent on the adsorbent, temperature, the nature of the dye and (to some extent) on van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. Cationized cellulose exhibited a much better adsorption capacity towards anionic dyes than cellulose.

The activated carbon fiber (ACF) was treated by different concentration nitric acid (HNO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidization to enhance its adsorption capacity to hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) ion. The adsorption amount and adsorption kinetics of Cr6+ion on ACFs, and the surface chemical groups were investigated. The results showed that the modified ACFs with 1% HNO3and 10% H2O2had a better adsorption capacity, respectively. The adsorption amount of ACFs was affected strongly solution pH value, and decreased significantly with increasing of the pH value. The adsorption kinetics indicated that the adsorption rates of Cr6+ ion on different modified ACFs were well fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. After 1% HNO3and 10% H2O2modification, respectively, the total acidic oxygen-containing groups on ACFs surface had an increase obviously, which might be enhance the adsorption amount of Cr6+ion on ACFs.

Sewage sludge-based activated carbon is proved to be an efficient and low-cost adsorbent in treatment of various industrial wastewaters. The produced carbon had a well-developed pore structure and relatively low Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. Adsorptive capacity of typical pollutants, i.e. copper Cu(II) and methylene blue (MB) on the carbon was studied. Adsorptions were affected by the initial solution pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. Results showed that adsorption of Cu(II) and MB on the produced carbon could reach equilibrium after 240 min. The average removal rate for Cu(II) on the carbon was high, up to 97% in weak acidic conditions (pH = 4–6) and around 98% for MB in a very wide pH range (pH = 2–12). The adsorption kinetics were well fitted by the pseudo-second order model, and both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could well describe the adsorption process at room temperature. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of Cu(II) and MB on sewage sludge-based activated carbon were 114.94 mg/g and 125 mg/g, respectively. Compared with commercial carbon, the sewage sludge-based carbon was more suitable for heavy metal ions’ removal than dyes’.

This document studies test methods on modification of activated carbon by potassium permanganate to adsorb Cu2+. Ensure all factors’ effects on Cu2+ removal. Use potassium permanganate solution to modify activated carbon, investigate main factors’ effects on Cu2+ removal and analyze mechanism by changing potassium permanganate solution concentration, adsorption time, activated carbon’s additive amount and temperature. The results show that modification of activated carbon by 0.03mol/L potassium permanganate solution (0.03K-GAC) can adsorb Cu2+ best. 0.03K-GAC’s removal rate on Cu2+ is 98% when the initial concentration of Cu2+ is 50mg/L, the additive amount of 0.03K-GAC is 2.0g, the pH value is 5.5, the temperature is 25°C and the adsorption time is 4h. Modification of activated carbon by potassium permanganate has good adsorbability on Cu2+. Potassium permanganate solution concentration, adsorption time and additive amount can influence the adsorption of Cu2+ by activated carbon. However, temperature’s influence on the effect of adsorption is non-significant.

After activated carbon is oxidized and modified with nitric acid (1:1), its cation exchange capacity can amount to 1.840 mmol • g-1. The modified activated carbon is used as adsorbent for the treatment of Cr (Ⅵ)-containing wastewater at room temperature, and its removal mechanism is discussed in this paper. It is shown that: when the pH value of the aqueous solution being 2.5-3.0;the adsorption time being 3.0h, the removal rate of Cr (Ⅵ) in the aqueous solution can reach 97% and its adsorption capacity can amount to 45.66 mg • g-1. From the results, it can be also seen that the adsorption curve to chromium in wastewater by the modified activated carbon better meets the Freundlich isotherm, and ion exchange adsorption mainly does its work.

N-carboxymethyl chitosan (NCMC) was prepared by reacting chitosan (CTS) with chloroacetic acid and characterized by 13C-NMR spectroscopy to confirm that carboxymethylation occurred only in the amino groups. The adsorption properties of CTS, NCMC and O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC) towards Pb(II) ions were evaluated and the order of the adsorption capacity was as follows: NCMC &gt; OCMC &gt; CTS. The effects of initial pH value (2.0–5.5) of the solutions and contact time (5–120 min) on adsorption of Pb(II) were investigated and the kinetic data were evaluated using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Kinetics study showed that the adsorption process followed second-order kinetics rather than the first-order one. Furthermore, the experimental equilibrium data of Pb(II) on the NCMC were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the results indicated that the Langmuir model gave a better fit than the Freundlich equation and the maximum adsorption capacity obtained from the Langmuir model was 421.9 mg g−1.

Abstract A renewable, green activated carbon made from sucrose (sugar) was compared with traditional bituminous coal-based granular activated carbon (GAC). Single and multi-component competitive adsorption of nitrate and phosphate from water was investigated. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were fitted to data obtained from the nitrate and phosphate adsorption experiments. Nitrate adsorption fits closely to either Freundlich or Langmuir model for sucrose activated carbon (SAC) and GAC with a Langmuir adsorption capacity of 7.98 and 6.38 mg/g, respectively. However, phosphate adsorption on SAC and GAC demonstrated a selective fit with the Langmuir model with an adsorption capacity of 1.71 and 2.07 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that adsorption of nitrate and phosphate follow pseudo-second-order kinetics with rate constant values of 0.061 and 0.063 g/(mg h), respectively. Competitive studies between nitrate and phosphate were demonstrated in preferential nitrate removal with GAC and preferential phosphate removal with SAC. Furthermore, nitrate and phosphate removals decreased from 75% removal to 35% removal when subject to multi-component solutions, which highlights the need for adsorption analysis in complex systems. Overall, SAC proved to be competitive with GAC in the removal of inorganic contaminants and may represent a green alternative to coal-based activated carbon.

Removal of phenol from wastewater using local biochar (BC) was investigated, while using activated carbon (AC) as a reference material. The main parameters affecting the sorption process were initial concentration, contact time, pH, and temperature. Statistical analysis of the results showed that the maximum removal percent when using AC and BC were 95% and 55%, respectively. Experimental data showed that the removal of phenol has fast kinetics and reached equilibrium within 5 minutes. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to fit the adsorption experimental data. Pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models were employed.
