Abstract A biochar material made from corncobs was tested for its capability in BTEX adsorption/interception in stormwater filtration systems. Batch experiments were conducted to examine the adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and adsorption thermodynamics of BTEX onto this biochar. The feasibility of applying this biochar in stormwater filtration was studied by dynamic transport experiments and model simulations. The result showed that this biochar can adsorb BTEX and the adsorption is a thermodynamically spontaneous, and endothermic process. The BTEX adsorption kinetic experiment and adsorption retarded BTEX transport experiment indicated that the BTEX adsorption kinetics can be changed by the driving force between the BTEX concentrations and the active adsorption site as well as the contact time between BTEX and the biochar. In terms of applying this biochar in stormwater filtration, the Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis indicated that the BTEX interception is sensitive to the hydraulic conductivity of the biochar filter and the adsorption kinetics of the biochar material. Although this corncob-made biochar demonstrated effective pollutant adsorption capability, the biochar adsorption capability should be utilized to retain the pollutant long enough for biodegradation to take effect for ultimate pollutant attenuation.

Research on the equilibrium and adsorption kinetics of methylene blue dye using tannin gel from the Tingi tree (Ceriops tagal) has been carried out. This study aims to determine the capacity and adsorption kinetics of tannin gel against methylene blue dye. Several parameters, such as the effect of contact time, pH, and methylene blue dye concentration on adsorption, were also studied. Based on the research results, the optimum adsorption process is a contact time of 30 minutes and a pH of 7. The adsorption capacity increased to a concentration of 80 mg/L with a maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of 49.261 mg/g. The adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model.

A research has been conducted to investigate the capability of a series of novel calix[6]arenes-based polymers: poly-monoallyloxycalix[6]arene (2a), poly-monoallyloxypenta-estercalix[6]arene (2b) and poly-monoallyloxypenta-acidcalix[6]arene (2c) for trapping of heavy metal cations such as Cd(II), Cu(II) and Cr(III). The existence of active hydroxy group (-OH) and with a tunnel-like structure of the polymers, caused the polymers can be used as adsorbents for heavy metals. The adsorption process was carried out in batch method in the variation of acidity (pH), contact time and initial concentration of metal ions. The results showed that the amount of adsorbed metal increased with the increasing of the pH of metal solution. For these three polymers, the amount of metal ions Cd(II), Cu(II) and Cr(III) adsorbed was optimum at pH 7, 6 and 5 respectively. The optimum contact time for Cd(II) and Cu(II) was 120 min, while that for Cr(III) was 60 min. Study of the adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Cr(III) using polymer 2a followed kinetics model of Ho. For adsorbent 2b and 2c, the adsorption kinetics of Cd(II) and Cr(III) also followed kinetics model of Ho while for the Cu(II) followed Lagergren kinetic models. Isothermal studies showed that the adsorption of metal ions on all adsorbents tend to follow the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption energies of the three adsorbents were higher than 23 kJ/mole and polymer 2c has the largest adsorption capacity for Cr(III).

Adsorption kinetic study of C.I. reactive blue 19 onto cotton was carried out in SDS-CTAB reverse micelles. The data of adsorption kinetics were examined using pseudo first-and second-order kinetic models. It was found that the adsorption kinetics of dye on cotton with diffusion controlling follows the pseudo first-order kinetic model.

The adsorbent was prepared from Grapefruit peel by activation with ZnCl2. Grapefruit peel adsorbent (GPA) was employed to be as adsorbent to remove Pb(Ⅱ) in wastewater. The affecting factors on the adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ)from aqueous solution with GPA, such as solution pH, contact time, GPA dosage, initial Pb(Ⅱ) concentration, and reaction temperature were investigated. Adsorption kinetics and adsorption mechanism were investigated also. The results showed that the factors mentioned above have remarkably influence on adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) ions onto GPA. The suitable conditions for the adsorption conditions were as following: solution pH, 5.3~6.5; contact time, 1.5 hours; GPA dosage, 10 g/L; initial Pb(Ⅱ) ion concentration, 100 mg/L; temperature, 30°C. Under the suitable conditions, the removal rate of Pb(Ⅱ) was more than 90% and the sorption capacities of the GPA for Pb(Ⅱ) were 12.73mg/g. Adsorption kinetics of Pb(Ⅱ) ions onto GPA obeyed pseudo-second-order equation. The isothermal adsorption can be described well by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models, and the Freundlich model was the best.

The adsorption technique using fly ash composite material has been applied for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous samples. Batch experiments have been carried out for the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto fly ash composite material. The effects of various process parameters, namely, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration and contact time has been studied in batch systems. Maximum metal removal ratio was observed at pH 5.0~5.5, and the sorption reaction was an endothermic process. The results revealed that the hexavalent chromium is considerably adsorbed on this adsorbent and it could be an economical method for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous systems.

The adsorption kinetics of pure CO2, N2 and CH4 on a natural clinoptilolite (ZSL) sample from Villa de Reyes (San Luis Potosí, México) were measured at different temperatures using a glass, high-vacuum volumetric system. The ability of the natural zeolite to adsorb these gases depended on the gas–adsorbent contact time, t. For short values of t, the gas adsorption uptakes decreased in the order CO2 >> N2 > CH4. However, for long t values, the adsorption uptakes decreased in the sequence CO2 > CH4 > N2. It was established that the activation energies (kJ/mol) for the adsorption process increased in the following order CO2 (15) < N2 (18) < CH4 (40), correlating fairly well with the increasing order of kinetic diameter (Å) of the molecules: CO2 (3.3) < N2 (3.64) < CH4 (3.8). In comparison to the ZSL sample, the rate of adsorption of N2 and CH4 on H-ZSL increased and the total adsorption capacity decreased. The ZSL sample may be recommended as an effective adsorbent for the separation of CO2/CH4 and N2/CH4 mixtures.
