Abstract In this work, CuAl/Biochar (BC) composite was prepared by the coprecipitation method. The materials were applied to remove malachite green in aqueous solution. These materials were characterized using XRD, FTIR, BET and SEM-EDX analyses. The composite material was confirmed by X-ray diffractograms with reflection (002) at 24o and the appearance of new peaks at 1095 cm -1 . The BET result of CuAl/BC composite has larger surface area is 168 m 2 /g than 46 m 2 /g for LDH. The morphologies of composite materials show agglomeration and micro particle size. The result of the adsorption study indicated the composite material follows pseudo-second-order (PSO) and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity of malachite green using CuAl/BC uptake is 164.316 mg/g. The thermodynamic analysis indicates that the malachite green adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic. Regeneration study of adsorbent CuAl/BC composite shows after four times reused, it still has high removal efficiency at 89%.

The present paper aims to investigate water purification of phenol by walnut green hull adsorbent. The surface characteristics of the adsorbent were studied using Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), scanning electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl onto walnut green hull surface was proved by FTIR analysis. Also quartz, cellulose and hematite were detected in the XRD analysis of samples by an X-ray diffractometer. The maximum sorption was achieved at pH 4.0. Data were evaluated for compliance with the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. The results indicate that the data for adsorption of phenol onto walnut green hull fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was achieved by Langmuir isotherm 17.8 mg g–1. Also, the adsorption kinetics of phenol on the adsorbent were studied. The rates of sorption were found to conform to pseudo-second-order kinetics with good correlation.

Adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using MFe2O4 nanoferrites (M = Co, Ni, and Zn) was studied. Nanoferrite samples were prepared via the mechanochemical method and were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), micro-Raman, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). XRD analysis confirms the formation of pure single phases of cubic ferrites with average crystallite sizes of 23.8, 19.4, and 19.2 nm for CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4, respectively. Only NiFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 samples show superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, whereas CoFe2O4 is ferromagnetic. Kinetics and isotherm adsorption studies for adsorption of Pb(II) were carried out. A pseudo-second-order kinetic describes the sorption behavior. The experimental data of the isotherms were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on the nanoferrites was found to be 20.58, 17.76, and 9.34 mg·g−1 for M = Co, Ni, and Zn, respectively.

Abstract Malachite Green (MG), a cationic synthetic dye is considered hazardous when discharged into the water bodies without any adequate treatment. It can affect the multiple segments of the environment leading to irreversible persistent changes. So, there is a need for remediation with cost-effective method to remove dyes from effluents. Adsorption is one such technique to remove dyes from wastewater and is effective and economical. The present study describes the removal of MG cationic dye from wastewater using eco-friendly and biodegradable lignin extracted from hydrothermally treated rice straw by adsorption process. Functional group analysis and morphological characterisation was done to the extracted lignin after quantification. The maximum percent removal of MG 92 ± 0.2 % was observed from a series of batch experiments at optimum process parameters of: contact time 80 min, initial dye concentration 50 ppm, lignin dosage 0.25g, pH 7, temperature 300c and with 100 rpm agitation speed. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were determined for the experimental data using four kinetic models (pseudo-first-order, second order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion model) and two isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich). The results suggested that the kinetics data fit to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the maximum adsorption capacity 36.7 mg/g and the two isotherm models were applicable for the adsorption of MG onto the lignin. Additionally, the thermodynamic parameters ΔSo, ΔHo and ΔGo were evaluated. Therefore, lignin which is an environmental friendly and low cost carbon material that can be used as an adsorbent for dye removal.

Rubber wood sawdust was carbonized into charcoal by chemical treatment which was used for removal of lead ion from aqueous solution. The work involves batch experiments to investigate the pH effect, initial concentration of adsorbate, contact time, and adsorbent dose. Experimental data confirmed that the adsorption capacities increased with increasing inlet concentration and bed height and decreased with increasing flow rate. Adsorption results showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 37 mg/g at 308 K. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin model adsorption isotherm models were applied to analyze the process where Temkin was found as a best fitted model for present study. Simultaneously kinetics of adsorption like pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models were investigated. Thermodynamic parameters were used to analyze the adsorption experiment. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the batch adsorption of lead ion onto chemically carbonized rubber wood sawdust.

Ethylenediamine functionalized magnetic expanded graphite decorated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MEG-NH2) was fabricated by one-pot solvothermal method. The as-prepared MEG-NH2 nanohybrids were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and Zeta potential analyzer. The effects of Fe3O4 content in MEG-NH2 nanohybrids, pH, initial concentration, contact time, and dosage on adsorption properties of the MEG-NH2 nanohybrids for Ag(I) from aqueous solution were investigated by batch experiments. The pseudo-first-order and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models were utilized to study adsorption kinetics. The experimental data was also analyzed with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. The results show that Ag(I) was reduced to silver in the process of the adsorption by MEG-NH2 nanohybrids; the experimental data was better fitted to pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model which revealed that the adsorption process was a chemical adsorption by the formation of silver on the surface of MEG-NH2 nanohybrids.

AbstractIn this study, the adsorptive removal of selenium (IV) from aqueous solution by titanate nanoflower (TNF) was prepared via alkaline hydrothermal method. The morphology and crystal phase of the TNF were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and specific surface area. This study was conducted to determine the influence of various operating parameters such as pH, adsorbate weight, initial anion concentration, contact time and solution temperature on the adsorptive removal of selenium (IV). Equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm models. The results demonstrated that the adsorption was well described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacity up to 46.52 mg/g at pH 3.5. The adsorption of Se(IV) anions onto the surface of TNF may proceed through outer sphere electrostatic interactions and/or inner-sphere complexation interaction. The kinetic data indicated that the adsorption fit well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters implied that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature.

A new adsorbent, poly(amide-imide)/zinc sulfide nanocomposite (PAI/ZnS NC), was fabricated and identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Then, the obtained NC was applied for the simultaneous removal of auramine O (AO) and rhodamine B (RB) dyes from aqueous solution via the interactions of hydrogen bonding, π– π stacking, and Lewis acid–base interaction. The effects of operational variables including pH, PAI/ZnS NC mass, AO and RB concentration, and sonication time on removal efficiency were examined and optimized values were found to be 8.0, 16 mg, 11 mg L−1, and 6 min, respectively. The adsorption capacities of PAI/ZnS NC for the removal of AO and RB dyes were found to be 70.92 and 91.74 mg g−1, respectively. Ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer was used to determine the amount of residual dye in solution. Fitting the experimental equilibrium data to isotherm models such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich reveals the suitability of the Langmuir model with high correlation coefficients ( R 2 = 0.998 for AO and R 2 = 0.999 for RB). Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich kinetic models applicability was tested and the pseudo-second-order equation controls the kinetics of the adsorption process. Furthermore, this study establishes that PAI/ZnS NC can be successfully applied as a low-cost adsorbent and conserve its high efficiency after nine cycles for the removal of AO and RB dyes.

In this work, the efficiency of the adsorptive removal of the organic cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from polluted water was examined using three materials: natural clay (zeolite), Zn-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH), and zeolite/LDH composite. These materials were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) diffraction (XRF), low-temperature N2 adsorption, pore volume and average pore size distribution and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The properties of the applied nanomaterials regarding the adsorption of MB were investigated by determining various experimental parameters, such as the contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH. In addition, the adsorption isotherm model was estimated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was the best-fitting for all applied nanomaterials. In addition, the kinetics were analyzed by using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models, and the pseudo-second-order model was an apparent fit for all three applied nanomaterials. The maximum Adsorption capacity toward MB obtained from the materials was in the order zeolite/LDH composite > zeolites > Zn-Fe LDH. Thus, the zeolite/LDH composite is an excellent adsorbent for the removal of MB from polluted water.

This research work goals at searching the effectiveness of Malachite Green dye removal using banana stem, an agricultural waste as an activated carbon. The banana stem activated carbon was made ready in the laboratory by carbonization followed by activation. Adsorption studies were carried out to check the effect of various experimental conditions like different pH values, varying contact time, initial concentration of dye and changing banana stem carbon dosage on the removal of Malachite Green dye from aqueous solution at constant Temperature and agitation speed. The equilibrium experimental data were used for applicability of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the kinetic models. Batch test showed that maximum of 99% of dye was removed when the dye concentration was 2 mg/L, at an adsorbent dose of 0.75 gm/L at dye pH 8 in 45 minutes. From the obtained results it is validated that the equilibrium data’s favorable for both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Maximum adsorption capacity of banana stem carbon on malachite green dye was found to be 8.29 mg/g. It was prevailing that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. It was observed that intra particle diffusion is not the only rate-limiting step in this adsorption system but also regression results indicate that the linear regression model gives the best results. The above observations recommend that Banana stem carbon can be competently implemented for removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solution in the adsorption treatment processes.

In the present work the efficiency of activated carbon made from stems of Ricinus communis (CRC) has been studied for removal of anionic dye- Amido black 10B from aqueous solution. The adsorbent has been characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformer infrared (FT-IR). The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentrations, pH, concentration of salt and temperature have been studied. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherm models have been used for describing the adsorption process. Of these, Langmuir isotherm model has best fitted the experimental data with a maximum adsorption capacity of 7.12 mg/g. Kinetics studies indicate that the adsorption of Amido black 10B has favoured toward pseudo-second-order model with high correlation coefficients. Thermodynamics parameters confirmed that the adsorption has been found to be spontaneous and endothermic in nature. These results suggested that CRC has a potential low-cost adsorbent for the removal of toxic dye Amido black 10B.
