Reactive dye BES golden yellow simulated wastewater was treated with H2O2-assisted photolysis method. Influences of factors such as reaction time, initial pH and H2O2 dosage were investigated, and the reaction kinetics of the process were explored. Results showed that, the degradation of 200 mg/L BES golden yellow solution happened only in the presence of both conditions: UV irradiation and H2O2 addition. Initial pH and H2O2 dosage had remarkable influence on the removal efficiency of the dye. Through several groups of univariate experiments, the optimum pH and H2O2 dosage of the photolysis process were found to be 6–7 and 0.0375 mL 30% H2O2 per milligram of BES golden yellow, respectively. The photolysis process was approximately in accordance with the second-order kinetic equation.

Methylene blue simulated wastewater was treated with a UV-H2O2 combined system. Influences of factors such as reaction time, initial pH value and H2O2 dosage were investigated, and the reaction kinetics of the process was explored. Results showed that the degradation of methylene blue happened only in the presence of both conditions: UV irradiation and H2O2 addition. Initial pH and H2O2 dosage had a remarkable influence on the degradation efficiency. Through several groups of univariate experiments, the optimum pH and H2O2 dosage of the photolysis process were found to be 4–5 and 0.165 mL 30% H2O2 per milligram of methylene blue, respectively. The photolysis process was relatively fast at the initial stage and, 20 min later, it was approximately in accordance with the first-order kinetic equation.

Effluent reuse is a common practice for sustainable industrial water use. Salt removal is usually carried out by a combination of membrane processes with a final reverse osmosis (RO). However, the presence of silica limits the RO efficiency due to its high scaling potential and the difficulty of cleaning the fouled membranes. Silica adsorption has many advantages compared to coagulation and precipitation at high pHs: pH adjustment is not necessary, the conductivity of treated waters is not increased, and there is no sludge generation. Therefore, this study investigates the feasibility of using pseudoboehmite and its calcination product (γ-Al2O3) for silica adsorption from a paper mill effluent. The effect of sorbent dosage, pH, and temperature, including both equilibrium and kinetics studies, were studied. γ-Al2O3 was clearly more efficient than pseudoboehmite, with optimal dosages around 2.5–5 g/L vs. 7.5–15 g/L. The optimum pH is around 8.5–10, which fits well with the initial pH of the effluent. The kinetics of silica adsorption is fast, especially at high dosages and temperatures: 80–90% of the removable silica is removed in 1 h. At these conditions, silica removal is around 75–85% (<50 mg/L SiO2 in the treated water).

The adsorption of cadmium in simulated wastewater by chitosan was investigated. The influence of temperature, contact time and pH on adsorption efficiency of cadmium was examined. Some related mathematical models were used in the fitting of experimental data. The results showed that at room temperature, the optimum pH of adsorption is between 4 and 7. At lower pH values, a strong competition existed between cadmium ions and protons for sorption sites and the sorption efficiency was decreased. After 60 minutes the adsorption equilibrium can be achieved. Chitosan is very effective at removing cadmium with the maximum adsorption capacity is 112.05mg•g-1. The adsorption kinetic curves agree with the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic equations and the adsorption isotherms could be well described by Langmuir isotherm equations.

A new chelating polymeric sorbent has been developed using polystyrene resin grafted with phosphonic acid. After characterization by FTIR and elementary analysis, the new resin has been investigated in liquid-solid extraction of cadmium(II). The results indicated that phosphonic resin could adsorb Cd(II) ion effectively from aqueous solution. The adsorption was strongly dependent on the pH of the medium and the optimum pH value level for better sorption was between 3.2 and 5.2. The influence of other analytical parameters including contact time, amount of resin, metal ion concentration, and the presence of some electrolytes was investigated. The maximum uptake capacity of Cd(II) ions was 37,9 mg·g−1grafted resin at ambient temperature, at an initial pH value of 5.0. The overall adsorption process was best described by pseudo second-order kinetic. When Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were tested, the latter had a better fit with the experimental data. Furthermore, more than 92% of Cd(II) could be eluted by using 1.0 mol·L−1HCl in one cycle.

This study examined the removal of reactive dye onto dead cells in activated sludge collected from the municipal sewage treatment plant in Suyoung, Pusan. The biosorption of reactive dye from aqueous solutions using the activated sludge was studied using a batch system with respect to the initial pH, temperature, amount of adsorbent and the pre-treatment of the adsorbent. Both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models could describe the adsorption equilibrium of the reactive dye onto the activated sludge with the Langmuir isotherm showing the best agreement. First- and second-order kinetic models were used to investigate the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption capacity of Rhodamine-B(Rh-B) onto the activated sludge increased with decreasing initial pH and temperature.

The ash ofC. polygonoides(locally called balanza) was collected from Lakki Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and was utilized as biosorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution. The ash was used as biosorbent without any physical or chemical treatment. The biosorbent was characterized by using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle size and surface area were measured using particle size analyzer and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation (BET), respectively. The SEM and BET results expressed that the adsorbent has porous nature. Effects of various conditions such as initial concentration of methylene blue (MB), initial pH, contact time, dosage of biosorbent, and stirring rate were also investigated for the adsorption process. The rate of the adsorption of MB on biomass sample was fast, and equilibrium has been achieved within 1 hour. The kinetics of MB adsorption on biosorbent was studied by pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the pseudo-second-order has better mathematical fit with correlation coefficient value (R2) of 0.999. The study revealed thatC. polygonoidesash proved to be an effective, alternative, inexpensive, and environmentally benign biosorbent for MB removal from aqueous solution.

Abstract The petrochemical wastewater includes many toxic organic compounds, which are refractory substances. It is difficult for the wastewater to meet discharge standards after biological treatment, therefore, the further effective treatment of post-biochemical petrochemical wastewater has become an urgent problem to be solved. This study used iron tartaric acid chelate (ITC) catalytic ozonation to treat the petrochemical wastewater. Various key factors were investigated, such as hydraulic retention time (HRT), catalyst dosage, ozone concentration, initial pH values and oxidation efficiency. The kinetics of catalytic ozonation were established. The results indicate that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate reached a maximum of 58.5%, when the Fe2+ dosage is 0.25 mmol L−1, the initial pH value is neutral, the liquid phase ozone concentration is about 1.95 mg L−1, and HRT is equal to 180 min. In addition, when HRT is equal to 90 min, the B/C ratio of wastewater increases to 0.31, the catalytic ozone reaches maximum oxidation efficiency, and the most economical HRT was 90 min. Finally, the kinetics of ITC catalytic ozonation catalyzed with ITC is consistent with the pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction, and its rate constant is 0.00484 min−1.

The adsorption kinetics and influencing factors deduction showed that adsorption process accorded with a second-order kinetic equation according to academic hypothesis. The result was validated by the phosphate adsorption onto Veria-Based adsorbent. The factor (m/V)bhad the close relation with the adsorption speed and the adsorbent dosage, intensity exponent b=0.44 (0b1) in this test condition. All the results show that phosphate adsorption on the adsorbent surface was mono-layer chemisorptions and that the hypothesis of kinetic inference was reasonable.
