Abstract The eco-friendly and non-toxic natural organic substance, insolubilized humic acid (IHA), was used to remove Mn(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption characteristics were studied through a series of static adsorption tests. The results show that conditions such as the dose, the pH of the solution and the initial concentration of Mn(II) all affect removal efficiency, and the optimal pH value was 5.5. The sorption process for Mn(II) on IHA conforms to the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic model and intra-particle diffusion is not the only factor affecting the adsorption rate. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models can describe this adsorption behavior, and the experimental maximum adsorption capacity of IHA was 52.87 mg/g under optimal conditions. The thermodynamic analysis of adsorption shows that the adsorption process is a non-spontaneous endothermic physical reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the samples, it was found that as IHA successfully adsorbed Mn(II), the surface morphology of IHA changed after the adsorption reaction. The adsorption mechanism for Mn(II) on IHA is to provide electron pairs for carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl and other functional groups to form stable complexes with Mn(II).

The effectives of pH value, contact time,sorbent dose and different initial concentration were analyzed to study the properties of the adsorption of uranium in wastewater by clay. The results show the highest adsorption capacity was obtained around neutral pH.The amount adsorbed of uranium on clay increase rapidly with increasing initial uranium concentration, but the removal rates of uranium are declined.Clay has a good adsorption capability to uranium with 18.25mg/g of adsorption capacity. The adsorption data on clay are followed by both Langmuir and Freundlich models and the results are well described by Langmuir isotherm. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model is more appropriate for the sorption process.

Abstract A green functional adsorbent (CAD) was prepared by Schiff base reaction of chitosan and amino-modified diatomite. The morphology, structure and adsorption properties of the CAD were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer Emmett Teller measurements. The effect of pH value, contact time and temperature on the adsorption of Hg(II) ions for the CAD is discussed in detail. The experimental results showed that the CAD had a large specific surface area and multifunctional groups such as amino, hydroxyl and Schiff base. The optimum adsorption effect was obtained when the pH value, temperature and contact time were 4, 25 °C and 120 min, respectively, and the corresponding maximum adsorption capacity of Hg(II) ions reached 102 mg/g. Moreover, the adsorption behavior of Hg(II) ions for the CAD followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. The negative ΔG0 and ΔH0 suggested that the adsorption was a spontaneous exothermic process.

Abstract This article presents the feasibility for the removal of Aniline Blue dye (AB dye) from aqueous solution using a low cost biosorbent material Zizyphus oenoplia seeds. In this study, a batch mode experiments of the adsorption process were carried out as a function of pH, contact time, concentration of dye, adsorbent dosage and temperature. The experimental data were fitted with Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equations. The feasibility of the isotherm was evaluated with dimensionless separation factor (RL). The kinetic data of sorption process are evaluated by using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equations. The mode of diffusion process was evaluated with intra-particle diffusion model. The thermodynamic parameters like change in enthalpy (ΔHº); change in entropy (ΔSº) and Gibbs free energy change (ΔGº) were calculated using Van’t Hoff plot. The biosorbent material was characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and the morphology was identified with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in before and after adsorption of AB dye.

Chitosan nanoparticle (CS NP)-modified MnO2 nanoflakes were presented as a novel adsorbent for fast adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Loading dense CS NPs onto mono-dispersive flower-like MnO2 nanostructures reduces the overlap of CS during adsorption, and thus improves the contact of functional adsorption sites on the surface of MnO2 nanoflakes with heavy metal ions. The results show that the removal efficiency of the nanoadsorbents reaches up to 93% in 3 min for Pb(II). In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity, effects of adsorbent dosage and pH value, and the reusability were investigated. The kinetic process and adsorption isotherm fit well with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. These findings provide a potential strategy to address the overlap issue of some common nanoadsorbents.

In this work, nanochitosan (NC) was prepared through ionic gelation using low-molecular-weight chitosan and maleic acid (MA). The synthesized NC was charac¬terized by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In the course of preparation, the particle size of the material was strongly depended on the parameters such as chitosan concentration and pH of the solution. By controlling the above parameters, NC with the size of smaller than 100 nm was prepared. The chitosan and prepared NC were used for the adsorption of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions in a batch system. Among the sorption parameters, pH showed the strongest effect on the sorption process and maximum Pb (II) removal was obtained at pH value of 6. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order were used to track the kinetics of adsorption process. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were subjected to sorption data to estimate the sorption capacity. NC proved to be an excellent adsorbent with remarkable capacity to remove Pb (II) ions from the aqueous solutions at various concentrations. The NC also showed incredible performance with a comparatively easier preparation process than other reported work.

Abstract Hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized according to a wet precipitation route and then subjected to heat treatments within the temperature range of 200–800 °C. The prepared samples were tested as sorbents for cadmium in an aqueous medium. The best performances were obtained with the material treated at 200 °C (HAp200), as the relevant sorbent textural features (SBET – specific surface area and Vp – total volume of pores) were least affected at this low calcination temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity at standard ambient temperature and pressure was 216.6 mg g−1, which increased to 240.7 mg g−1 by increasing the temperature from 25 to 40 °C, suggesting an endothermic nature of the adsorption process. Moreover, these data indicated that a thermal treatment at 200 °C enhanced the ability of the material in Cd2+ uptake by more than 100% compared to other similar studies. The adsorption kinetic process was better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Kaganer–Radushkevich isotherms were applied to describe the sorption behaviour of Cd2+ ions onto the best adsorbent. Furthermore, a thermodynamic study was also performed to determine ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° of the sorption process of this adsorbent. The adsorption mechanisms were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy-transmission electron microscopy (SEM-TEM) observations.

Slag haydite made from steel slag and clay was used for phosphate adsorption, and adsorption characteristic was studied. Results showed that the uptake of phosphate was facilitated for pH 3-8, the adsorption process fitted with pseudo-second-order model and intra-particle diffusion model, and the equilibrium time was about 3h. Isotherm adsorption data on slag haydite were fitted by both the Freundlich and Langmuir models. It was found that the data follows the Langmuir model better, and the maximum adsorption capacity increased from 1.17mg·g-1 to 2.42mg·g-1 as temperature rose from 20°C to 40°C. Thermodynamic parameters G0, H0 andS0 showed that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic and entropy increase process and increasing temperature was favorable.

Graphene oxide/polyamidoamines dendrimers (GO/PAMAMs) composites were synthesized via modifying GO with 2.0 G PAMAM. The adsorption behavior of the GO/PAMAMs for acid Bordeaux B (ABB) was studied and the effects of media pH, adsorption time and initial ABB concentration on adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were investigated. The optimum pH value of the adsorption of ABB onto GO/PAMAMs was 2.5. The maximum adsorption capacity increased from 325.78 to 520.83 mg/g with the increase in temperature from 298 to 328 K. The equilibrium data followed the Langmuir isotherm model better than the Freundlich model. The kinetic study illustrated that the adsorption of ABB onto GO/PAMAMs fit the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was physisorption, and also an endothermic and spontaneous process.

Thiourea formaldehyde calcium alginate (TFCA) composite was successfully synthesized and used for removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye. The synthesized composite was applied and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM)/EDS, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM and EDX analyses confirm the homogeneity of the sorbent in term of composition. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the adsorption conditions such as pH value, dye concentration, contact time, temperature, and sorbent dose, as well as the ionic strength effect. Experimental data have been modeled by using Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich (D–R), and Temkin isotherms. Kinetic adsorption data modeled using PFORE, PSORE, Morris Weber, and Elovich in order to determine thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) for the dye adsorbent systems. These data indicated an exothermic spontaneous adsorption process that kinetically followed the pseudo second-order adsorption process and removal of RB5 dye from aqueous solution. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 0.2 mmol g−1, observed at pH 1 and temperature 25 °C. Equilibrium adsorption was achieved within 60 min.

In this paper, modified rice straw was investigated for its Cu2+removal ability from aqueous solution. The effects of environmental factors on metal biosorption were studied under static state, including initial concentration of metal ions, sorption time, initial pH value and adsordent dosage. In addition, the relevant equilibrium, kinetics were discussed. The results showed that the rice straw which was modified by NaOH had been improved greatly in its Cu2+removal ability. The rice straw had good effects on adsorption of low concentration of Cu2+solution. The adsorption data fit Langmuir isotherm model well, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cu2+reached 8.48 mg·g-1. The adsorption of Cu2+on the modified rice straw was a very rapid process, the kinetics fit a pseudo-second-order equation well. The pH value had prominent effect on the removal rate of Cu2+, adsorption efficient could reach over 92% when pH value was between 5 and 6.5. With increasing adsordent dosage, the removal rate of Cu2+increased.
