Batch sorption studies using almond shell as an sorbent for the removal of Cu (II) from aqueous solutions, showed that copper removal decreased from 74.9% to 45.6% with increasing its concentration from 10 to 70 ppm. The removal increased with increasing sorbent dose and pH, respectively. Copper removal was obtained equal to 63.7%, 69.6% and 58.6% at 26˚C, 40˚C and 55˚C. The sorption of Cu (II) on almond shell was also optimized by Taguchi method. The optimized conditions were the sorbent mass of 4 g, the ion initial concentration of 10 ppm, pH 7, the temperature of 40˚C and contact time equal to 60 min. The pH and initial Cu (II) concentration with respectively 32.75% and 31.20% contribution had more influence on the removal of Cu (II). The kinetic data fit pseudo-second-order model with correlation coefficients greater than 0.99 and rate constants in the range of 0.26–7.87 g mg−1 min−1.

The effect of contact time and the determination of the kinetic parameters of adsorption of methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution onto Iron-Oxide-Coated-Zeolite (IOCZ) powder are important in understanding the adsorption mechanism. The effect of contact time on adsorption quantity was studied at different initial concentration and temperature, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model was adopted to fit the experimental data using non-linear regressive analysis and it was used to predict the adsorption behavior. The results showed that the process of adsorption MO was endothermic and chemisorption. The pore diffusion was not significant.

In this work, the biosorption of As(V) from aqueous solutions by living cells of Bacillus cereus has been reported. The batch biosorption experiments were conducted with respect to biosorbent dosage 0.5 to 15 g/L, pH 2 to 9, contact time 5 to 90 min, initial concentration 1 to 10 mg/L and temperature 10 to 40 °C. The maximum biosorption capacity of B. cereus for As(V) was found to be 30.04 at pH 7.0, at optimum conditions of contact time of 30 min, biomass dosage of 6 g/L, and temperature of 30 ± 2 °C. Biosorption data were fitted to linearly transformed Langmuir isotherms with R2 (correlation coefficient) >0.99. Bacillus cereus cell surface was characterized using AFM and FTIR. The metal ions were desorbed from B. cereus using both 1 M HCl and 1 M HNO3. The pseudo-second-order model was successfully applied to predict the rate constant of biosorption.

1, 10-phenanthroline and triethylamine modified palygorskites were prepared by microwave irradiation, and characterized with FT-IR technique. The effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH value of the initial solution on the adsorption characters of Mn2+ were investigated. The adsorption of Mn2+ from aqueous solutions using 1, 10-phenanthroline or triethylamine modified palygorskites were investigated. Experiment results indicated that 1,10-phenanthroline and triethylamine molecules have been successfully grafted to palygorskite. The adsorption was rapid during the first 5 minuts and equilibrium were attained within 60 minutes in the initial concentration of Mn2+ of 50 and 100 mg•L-1, and fast adsorption in the first 10 minutes and slowly increased with the contact time due to the adsorption of palygorskite. The 1, 10-phenanthroline modified palygorskites had higher adsorption capacity than triethylamine modified palygorskites. Compared with natural palggorskites, the Mn2+ ions adsorption capacities of palggorskite modified by 1, 10-phenanthroline or triethylamine were significantly improved. There were less difference in the adsorption capacity between different dasages of 1, 10-phenanthroline modified palygorskites, but the adsorption capacity of Mn2+ adsorbed onto triethylamine modified palygorskites decreased with increasing the dosages. A Lagergren pseudo-second order model best described the kinetics of adsorption of Mn2+ onto the modified palygorskites.

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.

Diazinon and chlorpyrifos are two common organophosphorus poisons to fight the pests in Iran. The removal of these poisons from water by thermosensitive nanosphere polymer (TNP), synthesized from the copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and 3-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol, was investigated. The effect of pH, contact time, and the initial concentration on the removal amount was studied. The highest removal amount of these poisons by TNP occurred at pH 7. The contact time increase improves the removal amount and the equilibrium contact time for diazinon and chlorpyrifos was 10 and 18 min, respectively. For low concentration of less than 50 mgL−1it was shown that removal capacity remains above 95%. The initial concentration above 50 mgL−1decreased the removal amount, in which chlorpyrifos showed a greater decrease. The kinetic data has been checked using pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order, and intraparticle diffusion equations. The intraparticle diffusion model had the best conformability for the adsorption process.

In this study, activated carbon (AC) and magnetic activated carbon (MAC) were prepared from Dalbergia sissoo sawdust for the removal of antibiotic Azithromycin (AZM) from aqueous solution. The effect of initial concentration, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, and the temperature were investigated for both the adsorbents. The optimum AZM concentration, contact time, pH and adsorbents dosages were found to be 80 mg/L, 120 min, 6 and 7 (pH, respectively, for AC and MAC), and 0.1 g (for both AC and MAC), respectively. The isothermal data of both sets of experiments correlated well with the Langmuir isotherm model, while the kinetic data with the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption of AZM on both adsorbents was found to be favorable, which is evident in the values of the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH = −26.506 and −24.149 KJ/mol, ΔS = 91.812 and 81.991 J/mol K, respectively, for AC and MAC). To evaluate the effect of AC and MAC on the membrane parameters, a continuous stirred reactor was connected with ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. High % retention and improved permeate flux (around 90%) were obtained for AC/UF, AC/NF AC/RO, MAC/UF, MAC/NF, and MAC/RO treatments. The percent retention of AZM observed for AC/UF, AC/NF AC/RO was higher than MAC/UF, MAC/NF, and for MAC/RO hybrid processes due to greater surface area of AC than MAC.

The present paper describes an investigation of the adsorption of lead ions (Pb2+) on graphene-based nanocomposites obtained via exfoliation of hydrolyzed expanded graphite intercalation compound. Three types of these nanocomposites - suspension of graphene nanoplatelets (SGN), paste of multi-layered oxidized graphene (PMOG), and paste of few-layered oxidized graphene (PFOG) - were used to extract Pb2+ from 1,040 mg L-1 aqueous solutions of Pb (NO3)2, and the kinetic of the Pb2+ adsorption was studied. It was found that the kinetic data are best fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 30 min under normal conditions. The maximum Pb2+ adsorption capacity of SGN, PMOG and PFOG was found to be 457, 103 and 38 mg g-1, respectively. Considering the obtained results, it can be assumed that the phenolic and hydroxyl oxygen-containing functional groups located at the surface of the adsorption materials under study play an important role in the Pb2+ removal process.

In this study the removal of Cr (VI) from synthetic wastewater was investigated using Acroptilon repens (Russian Knapweed) flower powder under various conditions (pH, contact time and initial concentration of Cr). The capacity of chromium adsorption at equilibrium conditions by this biosorbent was increased by adsorbate concentration. The results also showed that the removal efficiency of Cr (VI) was increased by increasing the contact time. By increasing the initial concentration of Cr (VI) solution, chromium removal was reduced. The suitability of adsorbents and their constants was tested or evaluated with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms models. The results indicated that the Freundlich and Langmuir models (R2 > 0.99) gave a better concordance to the adsorption data in comparison with the Temkin equation (R2 = 0.97). The adsorption of Cr (VI) followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.991). The study showed that Acroptilon repens flower powder can be used as an effective lignocellulosic biomaterial and biosorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) from wastewater.

Abstract Low-calcium fly ash (LC-F) and high-calcium fly ash (HC-F) were used to synthesize corresponding zeolites (LC-Z and HC-Z), then for adsorption of Se(IV) in water. The results showed that c zeolites can effectively adsorb Se(IV). The optimal adsorption conditions were set at contact time = 360 min; pH = 2.0; the amount of adsorbent = 5.0 g·L−1; temperature = 25 °C; initial Se(IV) concentration = 10 mg·L−1. The removal efficiency of HC-Z was higher than the LC-Z after it had fully reacted because the specific surface area (SSA) of HC-Z was higher than LC-Z. The adsorption kinetics model of Se(IV) uptake by HC-Z followed the pseudo-second-order model. The Freundlich isotherm model agreed better with the equilibrium data for HC-Z and LC-Z. The maximum Se(IV) adsorption capacity was 4.16 mg/g for the HC-Z and 3.93 mg/g for the LC-Z. For the coexisting anions, barely affected Se(IV) removal, while significant affected it. Regenerated zeolites still had high capacity for Se(IV) removal. In conclusion, zeolites synthesized from fly ashes are a promising material for adsorbing Se(IV) from wastewater, and selenium-loaded zeolite has the potential to be used as a Se fertilizer to release selenium in Se-deficient areas.
