Abstract Locally available tar sands were used for the removal of phenol and cadmium ions from their aqueous solutions. Batch sorption experiments showed that tar sands did not remove phenol from aqueous solutions, but they were effective in cadmium adsorption. Cadmium uptake was found to increase with an increase in initial concentration of the metal ions, temperature, pH and sorbent amount. On the other hand, the presence of ions such as sodium, Na+, suppressed the uptake of cadmium ions. Physical activation of the tar sands influenced the adsorption process negatively. The sorption process was relatively fast and the equilibrium isotherm data were well represented by the Langmuir model.

Abstract Tar sands were found to remove significant amounts of phenol from aqueous solution in the presence of titania; about 70% at an initial concentration of 10 ppm. Batch sorption experiments showed that phenol uptake was increased with either an increase in initial phenol concentration, percentage of titania in the sorbent or pre-activation temperature. On the other hand, the presence of soft ions such as sodium, Na+, or potassium, K+, or the increase of solution temperature suppressed the uptake of phenol. Physical pre-activation of the tar sands influenced the adsorption process positively. The sorption process appears to be exothermic and relatively fast; the equilibrium isotherm data were well represented by either Langmuir or Freundlich models.

Short Time

Biosorption of cadmium from aqueous solutions using fermented grape marc is investigated in this paper as well as influence of the most important factors, such as: contact time, granulation of biosorbent and the initial concentration of metal ions, is investigated in this paper. The equilibrium sorption of cadmium ions is achieved after 15-20 min., depending on the initial concentration of metal ions. Such a short time needed to achieve the equilibrium indicates that mass sorption is dominate process. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm were used to describe the equilibrium sorption process, while Langmuir model was found to be the most conveniente. Maximum of sorption capacity is 20 mg g1. EDS spectrum analysis showed that the process of ion exchange is one of the main sorption mechanism. Minor changes observed in the FTIR spectrum of grape marc after the sorption of Cd(II) ions indicate forming a band between metal ions and partially ionized carboxyl and phenol groups from the biomass. The results of this study confirmed that the fermented grape marc, due to the porous structure and characteristic chemical composition, is good sorption material.

Kinetic And Thermodynamic Studies

The sorption of Ni(II) onto grape shell ash (GSA) was studied by performing batch kinetic sorption experiments. The influences of major parameters in Nickel(II) ions sorption on GS such as initial of pH, initial concentration of Ni(II) ions, the initial temperatures of solution, and contact time were investigated. The maximum increase in the rate of sorption of Ni(II) ions on GS was observed at an initial pH = 5, initial concentration of nickel 50 mgL−1, temperature of solution (328 K), and t=90 min. The rate constants and the equilibrium sorption capacities were calculated. The results indicate that the sorption process follows the second-order kinetics and the values of rate constants were found to be 0.224, 0.402, 0.193 and 0.123 min−1 at 298, 308, 318, and 328 K, respectively. The values of correlation coefficients for the adsorption of Ni(II) on GSA from all the systems were found to be 0.999, and the values of predicted equilibrium sorption capacities showed good agreement with the experimental equilibrium uptake values. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°) of the adsorption process were calculated, and these parameters showed that the adsorption process is spontaneous.

AbstractThis work assesses the potential of an adsorptive material, Dowex 50w-x8, for the separation of indium ions from cadmium ions in aqueous media. The adsorption behavior of Dowex 50 w-x8 for indium and cadmium ions was investigated. The effect of pH, initial concentration of metal ions, the weight of resins, and contact time on the sorption of each of the metal ions were determined. It was found that the adsorption percentage of the indium ions was more than 99% at pH 4.0. The result shows that In (III) was most strongly extracted, while Cd(II) was slightly extracted at this pH value. The recovery of In(III) and Cd(II) ions is around 98% using hydrochloric acid as the best eluent.

AbstractThe biosorptive potentials of three aquatics-based biosorbents, including shells of a bivalve mollusk and scales of two fish species for Pb removal from aqueous solutions were evaluated, for the first time. A Box–Behnken design with the response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of the seven important variables (contact time, temperature, initial concentration, dosage, size, salinity and pH) on the sorption capacity of the sorbents. Among the seven studied factors, the effects of biosorbent dosage, initial concentration and pH were significant for all the response variables, while biosorbent size was not significant for any of the responses. The initial concentration was the most influential factor. The presence of Pb ions on the surfaces of the biosorbents after the adsorption was clearly confirmed by the SEM–EDX and XRF analyses. The maximum sorption capacities of the biosorbents were comparable to the literature and the descending order was as follows: scales of Rutilus kutum and Oncorhynchus mykiss and the shells of Cerastoderma glaucum. The isotherm studies revealed Langmuir model applicability for the Pb adsorption by R. kutum and O. mykiss scales, while Freundlich model was fitted to the adsorption C. glaucum shells.

Background: Drugs, especially antibiotics, are one of the serious problems of modern life and the main pollution sources of the environment, especially in the last decade, which are harmful to human health and environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of penicillin G from aqueous solutions using single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Methods: In this study, the effect of different parameters including pH (3, 5, 7, 9, and 11), initial concentration of pollutant (50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/l), absorbent dose (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 g/L), mixing speed (0, 100, 200, and 300 rpm), and temperature (10, 15, 25, 35, 45°C) were investigated. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, BET, Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms and adsorption kinetics of the first- and second-order equations were determined. Results: The results showed that the efficiency of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the removal of penicillin G was 68.25% and 56.37%, respectively, and adsorption capacity of the nanotubes was 141 mg/g and 119 mg/g at initial concentration of 50 mg/l and pH=5 with adsorption dose of 0.8 g/L for 105 minutes at 300 rpm and temperature of 10°C from aqueous solutions. Also, it was revealed that the adsorption process had the highest correlation with the Langmuir model and secondorder kinetics, and the maximum adsorption capacity based on Langmuir model was 373.80 mg/g. Conclusion: According to the results, it was found that single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be used as effective absorbents in the removal of penicillin G from aqueous solutions.

In this research, chrysotile nanotubes (ChNTs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Synthetic ChNTs were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM and N2adsorption-desorption. Adsorption technique was applied for removal of Sr (II) and Nd (III) from aqueous solution by using ChNTs. The process had been investigated as a function of pH and temperature. The experimental data were analyzed using equilibrium isotherm models. The adsorption isotherms are fitted well by Langmuir model, having a maximum adsorption capacities of 102.56 mg·g-1for Sr (II) and 47.44 mg·g-1for Nd (III) at 298 ± 1 K. FTIR and XPS techniques were employed to investigate possible adsorption mechanism.
