Abstract The production of low-cost adsorbents for the detoxification of industrial effluents has been a growing concern for most environmental researchers. In this study, a magnetic active adsorbent and biomass (Phragmites australis) coated magnetic composite was synthesized and evaluated their effectiveness for the removal of two dyes from industrial polluted drain. In the present study, the biosorption of Congo red and xylenol orange ions from polluted drain discharge in Abu Qir Bay was determined using magnetic biosorbent. The surface function and morphology of the nano-biosorbent were studied by Fourier Transform Infrared analysis and scanning electron microscope imaging. The effect of initial dye concentration, pH, contact time, and concentration of nano-biosorbent has been studied at room temperature.The initial concentration increases as the absorption capacity of Congo red and Xylenol orange increase, especially for an initial concentration lower than 60 and 35 m/L for the two dyes respectively. Maximum percentage removal of Congo red and Xylenol orange by nano biosorbent is 77 and 47 % respectively. A strong dependence of the adsorption capacity on pH was observed, the capacity increase as pH value increase, and the optimum pH value is pH 10 for Congo red and pH 6 for Xylenol orange. Kinetics and adsorption equilibrium were studied for the studied dyes. The adsorption process was fast and the equilibrium was reached within 180 min. The maximum adsorption capacities were 1.88 and 4.62 mg g−1 for Congo red and Xylenol orange respectively. The kinetic data were analyzed using various kinetic models – pseudo-first-order equation, pseudo-second-order equation, and the equilibrium data were tested using several isotherm models, Langmuir, Freundlich, BET, and Tempkin. The pseudo-second-order equation provides the greatest accuracy for the kinetic data and Langmuir model is the closest fit for the equilibrium data.

The study focused on the investigation of the effectiveness of the pericarp of monkey kola (Cola lepidota) biomass (CLPB) in the removal of toluene from aqueous system. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and phytochemical screening methods were used for characterizing the biosorbent. The effects of contact time, pH, and concentration on biosorption process were studied. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrate, saponins and steroids. Carboxylic, alkene and alcohol groups were found to be the principal functional groups. The highest percentage removal was 99.63% at toluene initial concentration of 40 mg/L and 98.30% at pH 8. The contact time 30 minutes gave better removal efficiency of 99.89%. Among the biosorption isotherm models tested (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich and Temkin, respectively), the Langmuir model equation gave a better fit of the equilibrium data with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99. The equilibrium data was tested with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models and pseudo-second order model (R² = 0.99) fitted more than the pseudo-first order model (R² = 0.85). This study has revealed that Cola lepidota is a potential biosorbent for the removal of toluene from aqueous medium under the operating conditions of contact time of 30 minutes, pH of 8 and initial concentration of 40 mg/g.

In the present investigation, lab-made mesoporous activated carbon (MAC) was prepared for testing the ability to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The influences of several operating parameters such as pH and temperature on the adsorption were investigated. Solution pH is found highly influencing the adsorption and low pH is favorable for Cr(VI) adsorption. The adsorption of Cr(VI) is enhanced with increased temperature. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated and the adsorption was endothermic. Several adsorption isotherms include Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich(D–R) were used to fit the equilibrium data. The adsorption kinetic data of Cr(VI) were analyzed and was found fitting well in pseudo-second order equation. The lab-made MAC is found to be effective adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.

The need to develop more efficient adsorbent, comparable to commercially available adsorbent, is attracting significant interest as promising adsorbent for waste water treatment. In this study, the potential of activated carbon prepared from waste coconut shell (CSAC) for the removal of methylene blue (Mb) from aqueous solution was reported. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the adsorption isotherm and kinetics of Mb on CSAC. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were employed to fit and analyze the adsorption equilibrium data. The result shows Langmuir isotherm model gave the best fit and an adsorption capacity of 320.5 mg/g was obtained for Mb at pH value of 7, 0.02 g adsorbent dosage and contact time of 4.5 hour. The experimental kinetic data at different initial Mb concentrations was also analyzed with pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion models. The obtained results showed that the pseudo-second order model fits the adsorption kinetic data with R2 range of0.9985-0.9996. Finally, the thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption of Mb on CSAC was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. This therefore suggests that (CSAC) is a viable adsorbent for effective removal of dye from wastewater effluent.

In this study, CaO was prepared from chicken egg shells. Then, to improve its properties, CaO/Fe3O4 magnetic composite was synthesized and was used for the removal of lead (Pb (II)) and cobalt (Co (II)) ions from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, the effects of several parameters including pH, contact time, temperature, adsorption dosage and initial concentration of ions on the adsorption were studied. The optimum conditions of pH, contact time, temperature, adsorption dosage and initial concentration of Pb and Co ions were determined to be 6, 30 min, 25 ?C, 2 g L-1 and 5 mg L-1, respectively. The best efficiency for the adsorption of lead and cobalt ions was found to be 97.24 and 94.32 %, respectively. To investigate the equilibrium behaviour of adsorbent, Langmuir and Freundlich models were used. Also, pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models were applied for the consideration of kinetic behaviours of experimental data. Additionally, the thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy were calculated for the adsorption of these heavy metal ions. The results showed that Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second order kinetic model achieved the best match with the experimental data and the maximum adsorption capacities obtained from the Langmuir model were 227.27 and 217.39 mg g-1 for lead and cobalt, respectively. Also, thermodynamics studies revealed that the adsorption process of lead and cobalt ions using CaO/Fe3O4 was suitable, spontaneous and exothermic.

In this article, a novel magnetic composite material obtained from alkaline pretreated spent coffee grounds was used for investigating of the sorption mechanism of methylene blue, congo red and tannic acid from aqueous solutions. In order to clarify mechanisms were analyzed the adsorption kinetics models (external and internal diffusion; chemical kinetics (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order); intraparticle diffusion) and the adsorption thermodynamics. The results showed that the sorption of all studied sorbates was controlled by a mixed diffusion model and a pseudo-second order and diffusion rate revealed three stage of the mass transfer. The adsorption process of methylene blue, congo red and tannic acid onto Fe3O4/PVA/APSCGs sorbent was spontaneous and endothermic. Based on the results, it was concluded that the mechanism for removal of the studied sorbates by adsorption onto Fe3O4/PVA/APSCGs sorbent may be assumed both physisorption and chemisorption.

Dowex® HCR-S ion-exchange resin was used to adsorb ectoine in a batch system under varying operation conditions in terms of contact time, temperature, pH value, initial concentration of ectoine, and type of salt. Six adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin–Radushkevich, Sips, and Redlich–Peterson) and three kinetic models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion) were used to investigate the ectoine adsorption mechanism of ion-exchange resin. According to the experimental results, the mechanism of ectoine adsorption using an ion exchanger includes the ion-exchange reaction and physisorption. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich models were found to have a high fitting. For the kinetic analysis, the pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models were suitable to describe the ectoine adsorption. Dowex® HCR-S resin has an average saturated adsorption capacity of 0.57 g/g and 93.6% of ectoine adsorption at 25~65 °C, with an initial concentration of 125 g/L. By changing the pH of the environment using NaOH solution, the adsorbed ectoine on the ion-exchange resin can be desorbed to 87.7%.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of phenol adsorption from aqueous solution by Pinus massoniana biochar. Adsorption conditions, including contact time, initial phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage, strength of salt ions and pH, have been investigated by batch experiments. Equilibrium can be reached in 24 h for phenol from 50 to 250 mg• L-1. The optimum pH value for this kind of biochar is 5.0. The amount of phenol adsorbed per unit decreases with the increase in adsorbent dosage. The existence of salt ions makes negligible influence on the equilibrium adsorption capacity. The experimental data is analyzed by the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. Equilibrium data fits well to the Freundlich model. Adsorption kinetics models are deduced and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides a good correlation for the adsorbent process. The results show that the Pinus massoniana biochar can be utilized as an effective adsorption material for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution.

Dead streptomyces rimosus was found to be an effective biosorbent for the removal of chromium from industrial tanning effluents. A sorption level of 65 mg/g was observed at pH 4.8 while the precipitation effect augmented this value at a higher pH range. Chromium desorption increased with decreasing desorption agents pH (including HCl and H2SO4) to a maximum value of 95% at approximately zero pH. The biosorption data of trivalent chromium by streptomyces rimosus has been used for kinetic studies based on fractional power, Elovich, pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order rate expressions. The time-dependent Cr (III) biosorption data were well-described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The intraparticle diffusion is not the rate-limiting step for the whole reaction. It was found that the biosorption equilibrium data fit well with the Langmuir model.
