Fresh water streams contaminated with synthetic dye-containing effluents pose a threat to aquatic and human life either by preventing aquatic photosynthesis or by entering into the food chain. Adsorptive removal of such dyes with potent biosorbents is an important technique to reduce bioaccumulation and biomagnifications of the dyes in human life. We report use of betel nut (BN) husk and banana peel (BP), two most abundant ligno-cellulosic wastes, as efficient adsorbents for the removal of the basic dye methylene blue (MB). The adsorption by BN and BP was consistently high over wide ranges of pH and temperature, suggesting their dye removal potential in diverse conditions. Physico-chemical studies, e.g. scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy studies, revealed changes in surface topology and functional moieties of BN and BP post adsorption, implying dye interaction with the biomass surface. The dye adsorption in both cases followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. While adsorption of MB by BN was better fitted with the Temkin isotherm model, adsorption with BP followed both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Our studies concluded that both adsorbents efficiently remove MB from its aqueous solution with BP proved to be marginally superior to BN.

In this study, durian (Durio zibethinus Murray) skin was examined for its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) dye from simulated textile wastewater. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of MB removal from aqueous solutions at different parametric conditions such as different initial concentrations (2–10 mg/L), biosorbent dosages (0.3–0.7 g) and pH solution (4–9) onto durian skin were studied using batch adsorption. The amount of MB adsorbed increased from 3.45 to 17.31 mg/g with the increase in initial concentration of MB dye; whereas biosorbent dosage increased from 1.08 to 2.47 mg/g. Maximum dye adsorption capacity of the durian skin was found to increase from 3.78 to 6.40 mg/g, with increasing solution pH. Equilibrium isotherm data were analyzed according to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The sorption equilibrium was best described by the Freundlich isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 7.23 mg/g and this was due to the heterogeneous nature of the durian skin surface. Kinetic studies indicated that the sorption of MB dye tended to follow the pseudo second-order kinetic model with promising correlation of 0.9836 < R2 < 0.9918.

The study was focused on the preparation and characterizations of sodium periodate-modified nanocellulose (NaIO4-NC) prepared from Eichhornia crassipes for the removal of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewater (WW). A chemical method was used for the preparation of NaIO4-NC. The prepared NaIO4-NC adsorbent was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) instruments. Next, it was tested to the adsorption of MB dye from WW using batch experiments. The adsorption process was performed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models with maximum adsorption efficiency (qmax) of 90.91 mg·g−1 and percent color removal of 78.1% at optimum 30 mg·L−1, 60 min., 1 g, and 8 values of initial concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, and solution pH, respectively. Pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model was well fitted for the adsorption of MB dye through the chemisorption process. The adsorption process was spontaneous and feasible from the thermodynamic study because the Gibbs free energy value was negative. After adsorption, the decreased values for physicochemical parameters of WW were observed in addition to the color removal. From the regeneration study, it is possible to conclude that NaIO4-NC adsorbent was recyclable and reused as MB dye adsorption for 13 successive cycles without significant efficient loss.

Nanofibrous composite mat was prepared using polyacrylonitrile hard yarn waste and hydroxyl group functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) by electrospinning technique and exploit for methylene blue dye adsorption from aqueous solution. The nanofibrous composite mat was characterized by Fourier transform (FT) infrared spectroscopy, FT-Raman, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and thermogravimetric analyser. The adsorption experiments were studied to investigate the effect of MWCNT-OH weight percentage, initial solution pH, contact time and initial dye concentration on the adsorption. The higher percentage of methylene blue adsorption was found to be 80.05% under optimal condition. The adsorption equilibrium data were studied with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The R2 value was found to be higher in the Freundlich isotherm model which was clearly indicated that the Freundlich isotherm model is most suitable for the adsorption of methylene blue on nanofibrous composite mat. The kinetic study was carried out to explain the adsorption rate of methylene blue on nanofibrous composite. The kinetic study of methylene blue adsorption was favourable to the pseudo second-order equation.

Several important synthesis pathways for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were applied to determine how the synthesis methods and conditions affect the structure and adsorption capacity of the resulting samples. In the present work, three different synthesis routes were used to obtain copper trimesinate coordination polymer: Slow evaporation (A), solvothermal synthesis using a polyethylene glycol (PEG-1500) modulator (B), and green synthesis in water (C). This MOF was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry and volumetric nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The samples have permanent porosity and a microporous structure with a large surface area corresponding to the adsorption type I. The obtained MOF was tested as a sorbent to remove organic dyes methylene blue (МВ), Congo red (CR) and methyl violet (MV) as examples. Dye adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the isotherm constants were determined. Thermodynamic parameters, such as changes in the free energy of adsorption (∆G0), enthalpy (∆H0), and entropy (∆S0), were calculated. Thermolysis of copper trimesinate leads to the formation of carbon materials Cu@C with a high purity.

Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) fabricated iron-aluminium oxide (GO@IAO) nanocomposite was synthesized with one-spot chemical reaction from emulsification of GO (1.0 g) in 0.2 L of 1.0 M mixed metal solution, which was characterized with some of the latest analytical tools aiming to assess methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance from aqueous solutions. Adsorption of MB on GO@IAO surfaces shows a steep increase from pH 3.0 to 5.0, but steepness declines at pH >5.0. The closeness of fitted kinetic data with the pseudo-second order (PSO) equation (R2 = 0.9845) compared to the pseudo-first order equation (R2 = 0.9527) confirms the adsorption process is of the PSO type. The MB adsorption equilibrium data can be described better by the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.99) than the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.96–0.97), inclining to the monolayer adsorption process. The Langmuir adsorption capacity of GO@IAO has been estimated to be 330.35 mg/g at 303 K. The MB adsorption is established to be spontaneous (–ΔG0 = 26.31–26.61 kJ/mol) owing to favourable enthalpy and entropy changes (ΔH0 = –23.38 kJ/mol; ΔS0= 0.01 kJ/mol/K). Both absolute and aqueous (1/1, v/v) alcohols regenerate the MB adsorbed GO@IAO up to 80–85%, indicating recyclability of composite.

The amount of coal combustion byproducts, such as fly ash and bottom ash, generated by coal-based thermal power plants has been increasing at an alarming rate, hence creating huge problems on their treatments and disposals. One of the promising approaches for proper utilization of these byproducts is the conversion of fly ash and bottom ash to zeolites. In this research, zeolites wereprepared from coal bottom ash (RBA) by relatively simple and cheap conversion process using NaOH at 90°C for 24h. Prior to this, the RBA was pretreated using H2SO4 for 4h. The resulted zeolite was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results confirmed the formation of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate predominated upon the bottom ash and NaOH 5M ratio of 1:8. XRF results also indicated the domination of Al2O3 and SiO2 in the zeolite composition. FTIR spectra showed characteristic zeolite peaks at 900-1100, 400-500 and 550-660 cm–1forSi-O, Al-O, and Si-O-Al absorptions, respectively. The synthetic zeolite was then applied as an adsorbent for lignin and methylene blue in aqueous solutions. It was found that the Qmax for lignin and methylene blue was16.13 mg/g and 34.13 mg/g, respectively. When fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, the methylene blue adsorption data fitted Langmuir isotherm while those of lignin fitted Freundlich isotherm. It was concluded that the chemical interaction between zeolite and methylene blue may lead to the chemisorption mechanism to prevail.

Abstract Cross-linked chitosan(C)/marble powder (M) composites with different weight ratio percentage (C100M0, C70M30, C50M50, and C30M70) were prepared from marble powder and chitosan and cross-linked using glutaraldehyde. The morphology and the surface area of the chitosan/marble powder composites were also characterized with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Micromeritics (ASAP 2020) BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) instrument, respectively. To evaluate the adsorption behaviour of the chitosan/marble powder composites, 0.1 g adsorbent was added into 50 mL Diamozol Blue BRF %150 (C.I. Reactive Blue 221) solution with fixed concentrations (60 mg/L). At equilibrium, the adsorption capacity of C100M0, C70M30 and C50M50 for Dimozol Blue was about 27 mg/g and significantly greater than that of C30M70. C50M50 composite was more economical than C100M0 and C70M30 due to the higher marble powder content, and hence was selected as an adsorbent for the removal of Dimozol Blue from aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms of Dimozol Blue onto the chitosan/marble powder composites from aqueous solution were investigated. The studies revealed that Dimozol Blue dye adsorption was described well by the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich isotherm models. The results of this study indicated the applicability of the chitosan/marble powder composites for removing industrial dyes from aqueous solution.

This research aimed to study the preparation of activated carbon from sugarcane bagasse waste. The sugarcane bagasse adsorbent was prepared by calcination at 600°C for 2 hours with the use of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as a chemical activation. The adsorption surface possessed high specific surface area (838 m2/g) with mesoporous diameter. Factors explaining adsorption including adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetic and adsorption mechanism were constructed from methylene blue adsorption experiments. It was found that the equilibrium data was best represented by Freundlich isotherm, showing multilayer coverage of dye molecules at the outer surface of adsorbent with a cooperative adsorption (physisorption and chemisorption). The kinetic of methylene blue adsorption was found to follow pseudo-second-order rate kinetic model, with a good correlation coefficient. This indicated that the overall rate of the dye adsorption process was controlled by the chemisorption process.

Textile effluents, when not correctly treated, cause a high impact to the environment. The synthetic dyes are used in the fibber dying process, but part of them is discarded to receiving water body. The adsorption is a technique that has been used successfully for an effective removal of color. In this work, the adsorption of reactive dye Remazol Red RB from aqueous solution using zeolite of coal ash as low cost adsorbent was studied. The zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment with NaOH solution. The effect of experimental parameters such as contact time, pH, temperature and adding salt was investigated. The kinetics studies indicated that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model with correlation coefficients > 0.99. The equilibrium was reached after 360 min of contact time. The experimental data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of zeolite of coal ash for Remazol Vermelho RB was 1.20 mg g-1 with adsorption efficiency between 75 and 91%. The dye adsorption was more efficient in the presence of salts.

Removal of dyes through adsorption from wastewater has gained substantial interest in recent years, especially in development of hydrogel based adsorbents, owing to their easy use and economical nature. The aim of the present study was to design a super-adsorbent hydrogel based on sodium styrenesulfonate (NaSS) monomer for removal of dyes like methylene blue (MB). NaSS displays both an aromatic ring and strongly ionic group in its monomer structure that can enhance adsorption capacity. Poly(sodium styrenesulfonate-co-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels were prepared by solution free radical polymerization using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) as crosslinker, creating a highly porous, three-dimensionally crosslinked polymer network contributing to higher swelling ratios of up to 27,500%. These super-adsorbent hydrogels exhibited high adsorption capacity of 1270 mg/g for MB adsorption with above 98% removal efficiency. This is the first report for such a high adsorption capacity for dye absorbance for NaSS-based hydrogels. Additionally, the adsorption kinetics using a pseudo-first-order and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm models for multilayer, heterogeneous adsorption processes has been reported. The adsorbents’ reusability was confirmed through 4 repeated cycles of desorption-adsorption. The results discussed herein illustrate that NaSS based chemistries can be used as an efficient option for removal of organic dyes from contaminated wastewater.
