Phosphorus flame retardant tricresyl phosphate (TCP) adsorption on graphene nanomaterials from aqueous solutions was explored using batch and column modes. Comparative studies were performed regarding the kinetics and equilibrium of TCP adsorption on graphene oxide (GO) and graphene (G) in batch mode. The adsorption kinetics exhibited a rapid TCP uptake, and experimental data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption isotherm data of TCP on the two adsorbents displayed an improved TCP removal performance with increasing temperature at pH 5, while experimental data were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 87.7 mg·g−1 for G, and 30.7 mg·g−1 for GO) at 303 K. The thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption reaction is a spontaneous and endothermic process. In addition, dynamic adsorption of TCP in a fixed G column confirmed a faster approach to breakthrough at high flow rate, high influent TCP concentration, and low filling height of adsorbent. Breakthrough data were successfully described by the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) was converted into water insoluble konjac glucomannan (WIKGM) by treating with NaOH through completely deacetylated reaction. Adsorption study was carried out for the adsorption of Pb2+ from aqueous solution using water insoluble konjac glucomannan. The influences of pH, contact time, temperature and initial Pb2+ concentration on the absorbent were studied. Results of kinetic data showed that the Pb2+ adsorption rate was fast and good correlation coefficients were obtained for the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium process was described well by the Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 9.18 mg/g on WIKGM at 25°C.

Abstract In this study, the potential of a new low-cost adsorbent, Syringa vulgaris leaves powder, for methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent surface was examined using SEM and FTIR techniques. The experiments were conducted, in batch system, to find out the effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature and ionic strength on dye adsorption. The process is best described by Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo second order kinetic model. Maximum adsorption capacity, 188.2 (mg g−1), is better than other similar adsorbent materials. Thermodynamic parameters revealed a spontaneous and endothermic process, suggesting a physisorption mechanism. A Taguchi orthogonal array (L27) experimental design was used to determine the optimum conditions for the removal of dye. Various desorbing agents were used to investigate the regeneration possibility of used adsorbent. Results suggest that the adsorbent material is very effective for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.

The sorption of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions by eggshell was investigated in a batch experimental system with respect to the temperature, initial Cu2+ concentrations, pH, and biosorbent doses. The adsorption equilibrium was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption capacity of 5.05 mg Cu2+/g eggshell at 25 °C. The value of qe increased with increasing the temperature while also increases the release of Ca2+ and HCO−3 ions from the eggshell. The highest sorption of Cu onto the waste eggshell was determined at the initial pH value of 4.0. The results confirming that the adsorption reaction of Cu2+ on the eggshell was thought to be endothermic. A comparison of the kinetic models such as pseudo first and second-order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich on the sorption rate demonstrated that the system was best described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model.

This work describes the adsorption of Pb2+ in aqueous solution onto an activated carbon (AC) produced from winemaking waste (cluster stalks). After characterizing the AC using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and micro-Raman spectroscopy, the influence of different physico-chemical factors (stirring rate, temperature, pH, adsorbent concentration, etc.) on its capacity to adsorb Pb2+ was examined. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of the Pb2+ follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and fits the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of the AC was 58 mg/g at 288 K temperature and pH of 4. In conclusion, ACs made from waste cluster stalks could be successfully used to remove Pb2+ from polluted water.

The adsorption of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution onto lignin was investigated in this study. Thus, the influence of the initial solution pH, the lignin dosage, the initial Pb(II) ion concentration and the contact time were investigated at room temperature (19 ± 0.5 °C) in a batch system. Adsorption equilibrium was approached within 30 min. The adsorption kinetic data could be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while the equilibrium data were well fitted using the Langmuir isotherm model. A maximum adsorption capacity of 32.36 mg/g was observed. The results of this study indicate that lignin has the potential to become an effective and economical adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions from industrial wastewaters.

Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was prepared by reduction of Ag+ion with ethanol at alkaline condition on kaolin surface. Nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TEM, and BET methods. Results showed the Ag/kaolin composite has particle size 50 nm. The surface area was increased from kaolin to Ag/kaolin from 1.0215 to 7.409 m2 g−1, respectively. Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was used for adsorption of acid cyanine 5R (AC5R) from aqueous solution. The effect of parameters such as contact time, pH, and mass of nano composite has been investigated. The maximum percentage of adsorption of AC5R was found at pH 3 and contact time of 60 min. The higher percentage removal of AC5R by Ag/kaolin than kaolin can be attributed to catalytic activity of Ag on the surface of kaolin. The experimental data was fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm data could be well interpreted by Langmuir isotherm model. From the results of thermodynamic study, the adsorption process of AC5R onto Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was spontaneous and endothermic process. The process is clean and safe for purifying of water pollution.

Abstract In this work, the efficient extraction of uranium in solution using Al2O3-SiO2-T was reported. Kinetics and isotherm models indicated that the removal process of uranium onAl2O3-SiO2-T accorded with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, which showed that the adsorption process was a uniform mono-layer chemical behavior. The maximum adsorption capacity of Al2O3-SiO2-T reached 738.7 mg g-1, which was higher than AlNaO6Si2 (349.8 mg g-1) and Al2O3-SiO2-NT (453.1 mg g-1), indicating that the addition of template could effectively improve the adsorption performance of Al2O3-SiO2 to uranium. Even after five cycles of adsorption-desorption, the removal percentage of uranium on Al2O3-SiO2-T remained 96%. Besides, the extraction efficiency of uranium on Al2O3-SiO2-T was 72.5% in simulated seawater, which suggested that the Al2O3-SiO2-T was expected to be used for uranium extraction from seawater. Further, the interaction mechanism between Al2O3-SiO2-T and uranium species was studied. The results showed that the electrostatic interaction and complexation played key roles in the adsorption process of Al2O3-SiO2-T to uranium.

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).
