In this study, a granular material (GM) developed from building waste was used for phosphate removal from phosphorus-containing wastewater. Batch experiments were executed to investigate the phosphate removal capacity of this material. The mechanism of removal proved to be a chemical precipitation process. The characteristics of the material and resulting precipitates, the kinetics of the precipitation and Ca2+ liberation processes, and the effects of dosage and pH were investigated. The phosphate precipitation and Ca2+ liberation processes were both well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. A maximum precipitation capacity of 0.51 ± 0.06 mg g−1 and a liberation capacity of 6.79 ± 0.77 mg g−1 were measured under the experimental conditions. The processes reached equilibrium in 60 min. The initial solution pH strongly affected phosphate removal under extreme conditions (pH <4 and pH >10). The precipitates comprised hydroxyapatite and brushite. This novel GM can be considered a promising material for phosphate removal from wastewater.

Three kinds of Mg/Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different intercalation anions (NO3-, Cl- and CO32-) were synthesized and used as adsorbents for the removal of phosphate in aqueous solutions. Results showed that the phosphate removal decreased with the increase of solution pH from 3.0 to 11.0. The adsorption behavior of phosphate followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. LDHs-NO3- had the highest adsorption ability for phosphate, the followed order was LDHs-Cl- and LDHs-CO32-. The adsorption kinetics of phosphate onto the three kinds of LDHs fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Embedding nanoparticles into an inert material like graphene is a viable option since hybrid materials are more capable than those based on pure nanoparticulates for the removal of toxic pollutants. This study reports for the first time on Cr(VI) removal capacity of novel starch stabilized nanozero valent iron-graphene composite (NZVI-Gn) under different pHs, contact time, and initial concentrations. Starch coated NZVI-Gn composite was developed through borohydrate reduction method. The structure and surface of the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and point of zero charge (pHpzc). The surface area and pHpzc of NZVI-Gn composite were reported as 525 m2 g−1 and 8.5, respectively. Highest Cr(VI) removal was achieved at pH 3, whereas 67.3% was removed within first few minutes and reached its equilibrium within 20 min obeying pseudo-second-order kinetic model, suggesting chemisorption as the rate limiting process. The partitioning of Cr(VI) at equilibrium is perfectly matched with Langmuir isotherm and maximum adsorption capacity of the NZVI-Gn composite is 143.28 mg g−1. Overall, these findings indicated that NZVI-Gn composite could be utilized as an efficient and magnetically separable adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract In this paper, a series of bio-adsorbents (LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA) were successfully prepared by modifying Licorice Residue with NaOH, Na2CO3 and citric acid, which were used as the adsorbents to remove Cu2+ from wastewater. The morphology and structure of bio-adsorbents were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared, SEM, TG and XRD. Using static adsorption experiments, the effects of the adsorbent dosage, the solution pH, the adsorption time, and the initial Cu2+ concentration on the adsorption performance of the adsorbents were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption process of Cu2+ by the bio-adsorbents can be described by pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. The surface structure of the LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA changed obviously, and the surface-active groups increased. The adsorption capacity of raw LR was 21.56 mg/g, LR-NaOH, LR- Na2CO3 significantly enhanced this value up to 43.65 mg/g, 43.55 mg/g, respectively. After four adsorption-desorption processes, the adsorption capacity of LR-NaOH also maintained about 73%. Therefore, LR-NaOH would be a promising adsorbent for removing Cu2+ from wastewater, and the simple strategy towards preparation of adsorbent from the waste residue can be as a potential approach using in the water treatment.

The sorption of uranium and thorium from their aqueous solutions by using 8-hydroxyquinoline modified Na-bentonite (HQ-bentonite) was investigated by the batch technique. Na-bentonite and HQ-bentonite were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Factors that influence the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite such as solution pH, contact time, initial metal ions concentration, HQ-bentonite mass, and temperature were tested. Sorption experiments were expressed by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms and the sorption results demonstrated that the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite correlated better with the Langmuir isotherm than the Freundlich isotherm. Kinetics studies showed that the sorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° indicated that the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite was endothermic, feasible, spontaneous, and physical in nature. The maximum adsorption capacities of HQ-bentonite were calculated from the Langmuir isotherm at 303 K and were found to be 63.90 and 65.44 for U(VI) and Th(IV) metal ions, respectively.

Abstract Raw beetroot seeds (BS) and H3PO4 activated beetroot seeds (H3PO4-BS) were evaluate for their effectiveness in removing methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution. BS were carbonized at 500°C for 2 h, and then impregnated with phosphoric acid (phosphoric acid to BS ratio of 1.5 g/g). The impregnated BS were activated in a tubular vertical furnace at 450°C for 2 h. Batch sorption experiments were carried out under various parameters, such as solution pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial dyes concentration and temperature. The experimental results show that the dye sorption was influenced by solution pH and it was greater in the basic range. The sorption yield increases with an increase in the adsorbent dosage. The equilibrium uptake was increased with an increase in the initial dye concentration in solution. Adsorption kinetic data conformed more to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental isotherm data were evaluated by Langmuir, Freundlich, Toth and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir maximum monolayer adsorption capacities were 61.11 and 74.37 mg/g for MB, 51.31 and 213.01 mg/g for MG, respectively in the case of BS and H3PO4-BS. The thermodynamic parameters are also evaluated and discussed.

Biosorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution using lyophilized Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAOI) cells were observed under various experimental conditions. The effect of pH, initial metal concentration, equilibration time and temperature on bioadsorption was investigated. The optimum pH value for Pb(II) adsorption was found to be 5.0, and for Cd(II) 5.0 ? 6.0. The Pb(II) and Cd(II) bioadsorption equilibrium were analyzed by using Freundlich and Langmuir model using nonlinear least-squares estimation. The experimental maximum uptake capacity of Pb(II) and Cd(II) was estimated to be 164 mg g-1 and 113 mg g-1, respectively. For biosorption kinetic study the pseudo second-order kinetic model was applied at various temperatures. The temperature had no significant effect on Pb(II) bioadsorption. In case of Cd(II) bioadsorption the adsorbed amount decreased with increasing temperature.

Nano Zero Valent Iron

Natural siderite was selected as a raw material for preparing nano zero-valent iron (nZVI). The efficiency of the as-synthesized nZVI for PO3−4–P removal was investigated, and the effects of the annealing temperature, pH, initial PO3−4–P concentration, adsorption temperature and oxygen were investigated. The results indicated that after annealing at 550 °C, nZVI exhibited an average crystal size of 56.3 nm and a surface area of 14.1 m2/g. A decrease in pH and an increase in oxygen availability enhanced the removal efficiency. The adsorption process, which was spontaneous and exothermic according to the thermodynamic analysis, agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Based on the Langmuir equilibrium isotherms, the capacity of nZVI to adsorb phosphorus was determined to be 33.18 mg/L. The optimized conditions for the experimental conditions were defined by an orthogonal experiment as follows: initial P concentration 2 mg/L, initial pH 4, iron dose 2 g/L, adsorption time 60 min. The experimental results suggested that the as-prepared nZVI was a promising adsorbent for the removal of phosphate.

Kanuma mud, a geomaterial, is used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. The influences of contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, initial fluoride concentration and co-existing ions were investigated by batch equilibration studies. The rate of adsorption was rapid with equilibrium being attained after about 2 h, and the maximum removal of fluoride was obtained at pH 5.0–8.0. The Freundlich isotherm model was found to represent the measured adsorption data well. The negative value of the thermodynamic parameter ΔG suggests the adsorption of fluoride by Kanuma mud was spontaneous, the endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the positive ΔH value. The negative ΔS value for adsorbent denoted decreased randomness at the solid/liquid interface. The adsorption process using Kanuma mud followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Fluoride uptake by the Kanuma mud was a complex process and intra-particle diffusion played a major role in the adsorption process. It was found that adsorbed fluoride could be easily desorbed by washing the adsorbent with a solution of pH 12. This indicates the material could be easily recycled.

The recovery of gold from chloride solutions using bioadsorbent synthesized from waste rambutan peel was studied. The initial gold concentration 25-900 mg/L, solution pH 1-4, temperature 25-60 °C and the amount of adsorbent 1-25 mg were found to affect the efficiency for gold recovery as well as loading capacity. The 99.8 % gold recovery was accomplished in 1 h with loading capacity of 100 mg Au/g adsorbent at the following conditions: adsorbent 25 mg, initial gold concentration 100 mg/L, pH 2 and temperature 60 °C. The decrease of adsorbent from 25 to 1 mg resulted in the highest loading capacity of 2530 mg Au/g adsorbent and 100 % gold recovery within 100 h. The adsorption isotherm as well as mechanism were also elucidated. The Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo second-order kinetic model were fitted well with the experimental results. The activation energy of reaction was calculated to be 31.07 kJ/mol. The mechanism of adsorption is clarified to be the oxidation of hydroxyl groups and reduction of trivalent gold ions to metallic gold on the adsorbent surface which were supported by FT-IR, XRF and SEM.
