Abstract The present study deals with the preparation and structural and adsorbent characterization of the ternary layered double hydroxides (LDHs; ZFA-HT) with molar ratio Zn2+/Al3+/Fe3+ = 2/0.5/0.5 and its product calcined (ZFA-350) at 350 °C, which is examined for the removal of phosphate P(V) and chromate Cr(VI) from aqueous media. The as-obtained materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA–DSC), scanning electron microscopy-X-ray energy dispersion (SEM-EDX) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Structural characterizations show that the LDHs is successfully synthesized and its calcined product is a mixed oxide. Batch sorption studies are conducted to investigate the effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, solution pH, adsorbent amount, initial P(V) or Cr(VI) concentration and temperature. The isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of adsorption of phosphate and chromium are studied. The adsorption processes are well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than the other models examined. The adsorption isotherms data fit best to the Langmuir isotherm model instead of Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of ZFA-350 was found to be 140.85 mg/g for P(V) and 52.63 mg/g for Cr(VI). The positive ΔH and ΔS and negative ΔG values reveal that the P(V) and Cr(VI) sorption onto ZFA-350 is endothermic, irreversible and spontaneous in nature.

Due to complex composition of leachate, the comprehensive leachate treatment methods have been not demonstrated. Moreover, the improper management of leachate can lead to many environmental problems. The aim of this study was application of Fenton process for decreasing the major pollutants of landfill leachate on Kermanshah city. The leachate was collected from Kermanshah landfill site and treated by Fenton process. The effect of various parameters including solution pH, Fe2+and H2O2dosage, Fe2+/H2O2molar ratio, and reaction time was investigated. The result showed that with increasing Fe2+and H2O2dosage, Fe2+/H2O2molar ratio, and reaction time, the COD, TOC, TSS, and color removal increased. The maximum COD, TOC, TSS, and color removal were obtained at low pH (pH: 3). The kinetic data were analyzed in term of zero-order, first-order, and second-order expressions. First-order kinetic model described the removal of COD, TOC, TSS, and color from leachate better than two other kinetic models. In spite of extremely difficulty of leachate treatment, the previous results seem rather encouraging on the application of Fenton’s oxidation.

AbstractMustard waste biomass was tested as a biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution. This strategy may be a sustainable option for the utilization of such wastes. The influence of the most important operating parameters of the biosorption process was analyzed in batch experiments, and optimal conditions were found to include initial solution pH 5.5, 5.0 g biosorbent/L, 2 hours of contact time and high temperature. Kinetics analyses show that the maximum of biosorption was quickly reached and could be described by a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir model, and the highest values of maximum biosorption capacity were obtained with Pb(II), followed by Zn(II) and Cd(II). The thermodynamic parameters of the biosorption process (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) were also evaluated from isotherms. The results of this study suggest that mustard waste biomass can be used for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous media.

Abstract Ly @ FeZn layered double hydroxides (LDHs) controllable fabrication based on Box-Behnken Design (BBD) model was fabricated, and presented stable and efficient removal performance for Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Norfloxacin (NOR) and Ofloxacin (OFL) removal. It should be noted that Ly @ FeZn had different adsorption behavior towards CIP, NOR and OFL. Furthermore, the Ly @ FeZn was characterized by SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XPS. Results revealed the optimized fabrication condition (temperature of 60 °C, Fe / Zn molar ratio of 0.5 and the lysine dosage of 5.8 mmol) for the removing efficient. The highest adsorption capacity of CIP, NOR and OFL were 193.83, 190.20 and 62.12 mg/g, respectively. Adsorption kinetics of both CIP and NOR were well simulated with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, while that of OFL was well-described by the pseudo-second-order. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamics of CIP and NOR on Ly @ FeZn indicated that the adsorption processes were exothermal, feasible and spontaneous. It was worth noting that the adsorption mechanism of Ly @ FeZn for CIP and NOR were the synergistic reaction of electrostatic attraction, chemical bonding and flocculation. On the other side, the adsorption behavior of OFL was relatively low, and the adsorption mechanism was only electrostatic attraction.

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.

A novel Mg/Fe/Ce layered double hydroxide (LDHs) and its calcined product (CLDH) were synthesized and CLDH was used as adsorbents for the removal of chlorate ions. Results showed that the initial solution pH was an important factor influencing the chlorate adsorption. The adsorption behavior of chlorate followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a maximum adsorption capacity of 18.2 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics of chlorate on CLDH can be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It was concluded that the CLDH material is a potential adsorbent for the purification of polluted water with chlorate.

In this study, an aluminosilicate residue from insulators of high voltage transformers was used for the adsorption of basic dyes. The absorbent was characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, multimolecular adsorption theory (Branauer-Emmet-Teller (BET)) and determination of the point of zero charge (pHPZC). The effect of solution pH and adsorbent mass, the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior at different temperatures and the application of non-linear isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushevich were investigated. The pHPZC value for the aluminosilicate was 3.7. The best conditions for adsorption of methylene blue and crystal violet dyes were pH 8.0 and adsorbent mass of 1100 mg in 25 mL. The best fit for the experimental data was obtained applying the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with an equilibrium time of 480 to 720 min, and the activation energy suggests a physical adsorption mechanism. Isothermal parameters suggest a heterogeneous, favorable and predominantly physical surface adsorption. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process is not spontaneous and is exothermic and the Gibbs energy values (ΔGº) suggest physisorption.

This study investigates the removal effectiveness and characteristics of phenanthrene and naphthalene using low-cost steel slag with batch experiments. The adsorption characteristics of steel slag were measured and analysed using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The batch experiments investigated the effect of the time gradient, pH, and steel slag dosage gradient on the adsorption of the steel slag. The results show that with time and dosage of steel slag increased, the adsorption capacity of phenanthrene and naphthalene increased and gradually became balanced, but pH had no obvious effect on the adsorption of phenanthrene and naphthalene. The Langmuir isotherm model best describes the phenanthrene and naphthalene removal by the steel slag, which shows the adsorption occurring in a monolayer. The maximum adsorption capacity of the steel slag to phenanthrene and naphthalene is 0.043 and 0.041 mg/g, respectively. A pseudo-first-order kinetic model can better represent the adsorption of phenanthrene and naphthalene by steel slag. The research demonstrates that the steel slag has a certain adsorption capacity for phenanthrene and naphthalene.

The cellulose phosphate used for this work was obtained by a reaction between cellulose and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) at pH 10. The material obtained was characterized by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) spectrometry and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In the 31P NMR results, the two peaks at 2.05 and 7.96 ppm are related to phosphorous. The EDS indicated the presence of 5.47% of incorporated phosphorus which proved the modification. The material obtained was applied in the removal of the pharmaceutical drug acetaminophen (acetaminophen) from aqueous media. The maximum adsorptions of the drug in the cellulose phosphate was 60.7, 56.7, and 60.0 mg g-1 at the temperatures 298 K, 308 K, and 318 K, respectively, in 120 minutes at pH7. The plot traced from the data best aligns with the pseudo-second order kinetic model and with the physical-chemical model proposed by Freundlich.

The potential application of granules of Granular brick waste as a low-cost sorbent for removal of Pb+2 ions from aqueous solutions has been studied. The properties of Granular brick waste were determined through several tests such as X-Ray diffraction , Energy dispersive X-ray, Scanning electron microscopy , and surface area. In batch tests, the influence of several operating parameters including contact time, initial concentration, agitation speed, and the dose of GBW was investigated. The best values of these parameters that provided maximum removal efficiency of lead (89.5 %) were 2.5 hr, 50 mg/L, 250 rpm, and 1.8 g/100mL, respectively. The sorption data obtained by batch experiments subjected to the three isotherm models called Langmuir, Freundlich and   Elovich. The results showed that the Langmuir isotherm model described well the sorption data (R2= 0.9866) in comparison with other models. The kinetic data were analyzed using two kinetic models called pseudo_first_order and pseudo_second_order. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to agree well with the experimental data.

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.
