It is proposed to use a sorbent based on polyurethane foam and natural raw material chitosan for water purification from oil pollution. Traditionally, chitosan and materials with its use are mainly used as purifiers of water and other media from heavy metal ions. This paper provides information on the use of chitosan, which is preliminary isolated from the waste from processing f various beetles, dead bees, etc. Sorbent synthesis occurs by mixing the components of polyurethane foam and chitosan in a very short time, which allows you to produce and use it directly on site.

Recently, the development of a unique class of layered silicate nanomaterials has attracted considerable interest for treatment of wastewater. Clean water is an essential commodity for healthier life, agriculture and a safe environment at large. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and other clay hybrids are emerging as potential nanostructured adsorbents for water purification. These LDH hybrids are referred to as hydrotalcite-based materials or anionic clays and promising multifunctional two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. They are used in many applications including photocatalysis, energy storage, nanocomposites, adsorption, diffusion and water purification. The adsorption and diffusion capacities of various toxic contaminants heavy metal ions and dyes on different unmodified and modified LDH-samples are discussed comparatively with other types of nanoclays acting as adsorbents. This review focuses on the preparation methods, comparison of adsorption and diffusion capacities of LDH-hybrids and other nanoclay materials for the treatment of various contaminants such as heavy metal ions and dyes.

In this paper, a novel carbon/bentonite composite was prepared using sucrose as carbon source and bentonite as raw material. The characterization results shown that plenty of carbon particles distribute on the surface of the composite, and an abundant of functional groups, such as SO3H, carboxylic and hydroxyl groups, were successfully introduced onto the surface of the prepared composite. The adsorption capacity of the prepared composite for typical heavy metal ions and methylene blue deys also was investigated and compared with activated carbon and bentonite, the results show that the composite shows excellent adsorprion performance for heavy metal ions, and the adsorption capacity for Cu2+and Ni2+ increase by 136% and 591% than natural bentonite, respectSuperscript textively. The prepared composite with excellent adsorption performance could be used as a low-cost alternative to activated carbon for the treatment of heavy metal ions polluted wastewater.

Most countries worldwide face the problem related to clean and safe water. The major source of contamination of water bodies includes the discharges of wastes from various domestic and industrial sources (heavy metal ions, dyes, and pharmaceuticals). To overcome those problems, various water purification methods such as coagulation, flocculation, adsorption, membrane separation, biological, and electrochemical methods have been engaged. Adsorption using nano-biosorbents based on chitin, chitosan and modified chitosan, cellulose, alginate, micro algal has emerged as a better alternative for the removal of contaminants from drinking and wastewater treatment. The main advantages of these nano-biosorbents include its biodegradability and eco-friendliness, which have attracted researchers to this field.

The pentose/furfural industrial manufacturing process uses corn cob residue as a raw material, where such a process yields significant amount of lignin-rich residue (LCR) at the end, which is commonly disposed by burning. In this study, the conversion of LCR to biochars (BCs), and their subsequent applications for heavy metal ion removal, were investigated. The BCs were prepared through hydrothermal carbonization and post-activation, using either ZnCl2 or H3PO4 treatment. The as-prepared activated BCs were characterized using N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TEM, and their performance in removing heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+) from aqueous solutions was assessed. The ZnCl2-activated BCs (BC-ZnCl2) exhibit a higher adsorption capacity than the H3PO4-activated BCs (BC-H3PO4), mainly due to the differences in their chemical/physical characteristics. The related adsorption kinetics and isotherms were analyzed.
