Abstract In this work, montmorillonite (Mt) was modified by environmentally friendly arginine (Arg) and lysine (Lys) amino acids with di-cationic groups for arsenic removal from contaminated water. The modified Mts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential and thermal analysis. The adsorption of As(V) onto modified Mts as a function of initial As(V) concentration, contact time and solution pH was investigated. The removal efficiency was increased with increasing the As(V) concentration and contact time; however, it was decreased with increasing solution pH. The maximum As(V) adsorption capacities of Mt-Arg and Mt-Lys were 11.5 and 11 mg/g, respectively, which were five times larger than pristine Mt. The high adsorption capacity makes them promising candidates for arsenic removal from contaminated water. The regeneration studies were carried out up to 10 cycles for both modified Mts. The obtained results confirmed that the modified adsorbents could also be effectively used for As(V) removal from water for multiple adsorption – desorption cycles.

Our study aims to evaluate the efficiency of dissolved iron (III) retention in synthetic solutions by adsorption on treated natural phosphate collected in the Khouribga region. This research focused on the valorization of phosphate, a naturally occurring resource that is abundant in Morocco. The resulting products were analyzed by various methods, including FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this work, we studied the effect of several parameters such as adsorbent amount, contact time, solution pH, and initial concentration of iron (III) on the adsorption process. The results of the adsorption of iron (III) indicate that the efficiency was achieved after 5 minutes, and the maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model was 26.18 mg g-1. The regeneration and reuse of synthesized adsorbent are effective for five cycles of adsorption-desorption cycles without reducing adsorption capacity.

More than 170 million individuals have been influenced by arsenic (As) because of the ingestion of As-polluted groundwater. The presence of As in water bodies, particularly groundwater, has been found to become a widespread issue in the past few decades. Because arsenic causes extreme wellbeing impacts, even at a low concentration in drinking water, the innovations of As removal from contaminated water are of significant importance. Traditional strategies, for example, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and electro-dialysis are generally utilized for the remediation of As-polluted water; however, the high cost and/or sludge production restricts their application in less-developed areas. The utilization of adsorbents acquired from natural materials has been explored as an alternative for the costly techniques for As removal. This paper aims to review the past and current developments in using naturals adsorbents or modified natural materials for arsenic removal and show the different parameters, which may influence the As removal effectiveness of the natural adsorbent, such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, flow rate, pH, reusability, temperature, and influence of others ions.

Most concerns have focused on the arsenic (As) contamination in wastewater. Montmorillonite (MMT) has been proved to be a good adsorbent for removal heavy metals existing as cation in ground water while it is invalid for anions. However, arsenic usually exists as anions in aqueous. Accordingly, suitable modifications on MMT need to be done before using. This paper presents the results that a kind of commercial MMT has been modified by iron oxides under normal and inverse titration conditions. The x-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermal Gravimetry Analysis and Differential Thermal Analysis (TGA-DTA) and SBET analysis have been employed to elucidate the modification mechanisms. Modification characteristic analysis illustrated that the iron oxide associated with MMT by coated style as polymerization of hydroxyl-Fe (Fe (OH) 3) under inverse titration condition. Under normal titration condition, on the other hand, the iron oxide associated with MMT predominant by intercalation as goethite (FeOOH). The arsenic removal efficiencies of different modified products for polluted water have also been verified by batch experiments. Results proved that Iron oxide modified MMT on the removal efficiency of arsenic significantly increased and the normal titration is better than inverse titration as indicated by the arsenic removal ratios under the same experimental conditions. Based on these results, the iron oxide modified MMT by normal titration procedure is a promising material for removal arsenic in wastewaters.

In this study, pillared layered clays were prepared by modifying Vietnamese bentonite with polymeric Al and Fe. The obtained materials were characteristic of X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results indicated that hydroxy-aluminum ([Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]7+) and poly-hydroxyl-Fe or polyoxo-Fe cations were intercalated into layers of clay, resulting in an increase of d001 values and of the specific surface areas compared with those of initial bentonite. Modified bentonites were employed to adsorb As(V) from aqueous solution. The adsorption of As(V) was strongly dependent on solution pH, and the maximum adsorption of modified bentonites was obtained in the pH 3.0 for Fe-bentonite and the pH 4.0 for Al-bentonite. The equilibrium adsorption study showed that the data were well fit by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of As(V) at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 35.71 mg/g for Al-bentonite and 18.98 mg/g for Fe-bentonite. Adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and reusability of modified bentonites have been addressed.

Biogas is a renewable fuel source of methane (CH4), and its utilization as a natural gas substitute or transport fuel has received much interest. However, apart from CH4, biogas also contains carbon dioxide (CO2) which is noncombustible, thus reducing the biogas heating value. Therefore, upgrading biogas by removing CO2 is needed for most biogas applications. In this study, an amine-functionalized adsorbent for CO2 capture from biogas was developed. Mesoporous MgO was synthesized and functionalized with different tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) loadings by wet impregnation technique. The prepared adsorbents (MgO-TEPA) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption. The CO2 adsorption performance of the prepared MgO-TEPA was tested using simulated biogas as feed gas stream. The results show that the CO2 adsorption capacities of the adsorbents increase with increasing TEPA loading. The optimum TEPA loading is 40 wt.%, which gives the highest CO2 adsorption capacity of 4.98 mmol/g. A further increase in TEPA loading to 50 wt.% significantly reduces the CO2 adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the stability and regenerability of the adsorbent with 40% TEPA loading (MgO-TEPA-40) were studied by performing ten adsorption-desorption cycles under simulated biogas and real biogas conditions. After ten adsorption-desorption cycles, MgO-TEPA-40 shows slight decreases of only 5.42 and 5.75% of CO2 adsorption capacity for the simulated biogas and biogas, respectively. The results demonstrate that MgO-TEPA-40 possesses good stability and regenerability which are important for the potential application of this amine-based adsorbent.

In this research, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation methods and modified by coating with thiophene for removal of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution. CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, with and without thiophene, were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Contact time, adsorbent dose, solution pH, adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm and recyclability were studied. The maximum adsorption capacity towards Hg2+ ions was 7.53 and 208.77 mg/g for CuFe2O4 and CuFe2O4@Polythiophene composite, respectively. Modification of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles with thiophene revealed an enhanced adsorption towards Hg2+ removal more than CuFe2O4 nanoparticles. The promising adsorption performance of Hg2+ ions by CuFe2O4@Polythiophene composite generates from soft acid–soft base strong interaction between sulfur group of thiophene and Hg(II) ions. Furthermore, CuFe2O4@Polythiophene composite has both high stability and reusability due to its removal efficiency, has no significant decrease after five adsorption–desorption cycles and can be easily removed from aqueous solution by external magnetic field after adsorption experiments took place. Therefore, CuFe2O4@Polythiophene composite is applicable for removal Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution and may be suitable for removal other heavy metals.
