In this study, the use of wheat bran as a possible adsorbent has been successfully demonstrated in the removal of Acid blue9 (AB9) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters such as temperature, adsorbent dose, contact time, adsorbent size and agitation speed were investigated. The optimum conditions obtained from response surface methodology are: temperature-38.1°C, adsorbent dose (3.1g/L), contact time (206 min), adsorbent size 0.1mm (150mesh), and agitation speed (222rpm). The effect of pH and initial substrate concentration were studied. The pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetics were tested. The sorption equilibrium, expressed by the Langmuir and Freundlich equations, indicated that the process was in compliance with Freundlich isotherm.

Abstract In this study; acid treated carbonized mandarin peel (CMP) adsorbent was prepared and the adsorption behaviour of the adsorbent for copper removal was investigated. In the adsorption studies the effects of initial metal concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time on the removal were investigated. As a result; the highest removal of 100% was achieved when the copper concentration in water was 5 mg/L and the adsorbent dosage was 3.75 g/L at a solution pH of 7. Isotherm studies were also done and the appropriate isotherm was obtained as the Freundlich isotherm. According to the kinetic studies, the copper adsorption onto CMP adsorbent was adopted to the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic. After HCl regeneration, the adsorbent maintained 94% of its activity.

The purpose of this study was to use low cost and easily accessible biosorbent for batch-scale elimination of brilliant green and acid orange 74 dyes from aqueous solution. Pinus roxburghii leaves were utilized to study their dye-eliminating capacities. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR, TGA, DTA, and SEM. The optimized conditions for brilliant green and acid orange 74 dye elimination were adsorbent dose, 1.2 and 1.8 g; contact time, 30 and 45 min; pH, 2 and 1; temperature, 50°C and 60°C; and agitation speed, 125 rpm and 50 rpm for BG and AO-74, respectively. Adsorption records well fitted Langmuir isotherm. Possibility of the procedure was shown by negative values of the thermodynamic parameter ∆G° for both dyes. Kinetic studies showed that adsorption of BG and AO-74 dyes from watery solution by PR leaves followed pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Abstract This study investigates the potential applicability of hen feather (HF) to remove methyl red (MR) dye from aqueous solution with the variation of experimental conditions: contact time (1–180 min), pH (4–8), initial dye concentration (5–50 mg/L) and adsorbent dose (3–25 g/L). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) evaluate the surface morphology and chemistry of HF, respectively. The maximum removal of MR by HF was 92% when the optimum conditions were initial MR dye concentration 05 mg/L, pH 4.0, adsorbent dose 07.0 g/L and 90.0 min equilibrium contact time. Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.98) was more suited than Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.96) for experimental data, and the highest monolayer adsorption capacity was 6.02 mg/g. The kinetics adsorption data fitted well to pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.999) and more than one process were involved during the adsorption mechanism but film diffusion was the potential rate-controlling step. The findings of the study show that HF is a very effective and low-cost adsorbent for removing MR dye from aqueous solutions.

Abstract Treatment of the industrial wastewater before discharging into aquatic ecosystems using a new technology such as nanotechnology seems necessary. There are different methods for the removal of the heavy metals in the wastewater. In this study, nano-chitin was purchased from the Nano-Novin Polymer Company and used as an adsorbent for the removal of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solution in a batch system. The effects of pH, temperature, contact time, concentration, and adsorbent dose were investigated. According to the results, the optimum conditions of adsorption occurred at pH = 6, temperature = 25 °C, 60 minutes contact time, and 0.6 g·L−1 adsorbent dose. Investigation of equilibrium isotherms showed that the isotherm fitted the Freundlich model with a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.9689. The pseudo second-order model with the larger correlation coefficient had a greater fitness against experimental data in the kinetic studies. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy were calculated, which indicated spontaneous, endothermic, and random processes, respectively. Given the good results of this project, nano-chitin can be suggested as a novel adsorbent which is highly capable of adsorbing hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions.

Removal of Pb (II) ion from aqueous solution using Hymenoptera sphecidae (mud-wasp) nest was investigated using a batch process. The effect of pH, contact time and adsorbent dose were also investigated. The result showed that the adsorption of Pb (II) ion onto mud-wasp nest was dependent on pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. Adsorption patterns were analysed in terms of three bi-parameter isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. Freundlich isotherm gave the best fit to the adsorption data with a correlation coefficient of 0.992, while monolayer sorption capacity yielded 41.667 mg/g. Lagergren’s pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models were used to test the adsorption kinetics. The kinetic data were well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model, suggesting that the process was chemisorption type.  The results showed that mud-wasp nest can be used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Pb (II) ion from aqueous solutions.

The current study deals with the removal of cationic dye (brilliant green) and anionic dye (methyl orange) from wastewater by using sunflower husk as an adsorbent. The operation takes place batch wise by applying several concentrations of the dye solution with various adsorbent amounts, at a range of initial PH values and particle sizes at varying contact time intervals. The percent of dye removed for two dyes increased with increasing time and adsorbent dose and decreased with increasing the dye concentration and particle size. The equilibrium time differed according to conditions used. The optimum removal for brilliant green dye was 98 %, which was achieved at 50 ppm dye concentration, 2 g\l adsorbent dose, 75 µm particles size and pH 7 at contact time of 1 h, compared with low removal for methyl orange that reached 54 % under optimum conditions (dye concentration 10 ppm, adsorbent dose 4 g/l, pH 3 at the same particles size and time). Kinetic studies were conducted and revealed that the adsorption was well defined by pseudo-second order model and could be described by the Langmuir isotherm.

Today, due to the industrialization of societies, the existence of heavy metals has created many problems for humans, other organisms, and the environment. Lead (Pb) is highly toxic and the second most commonly used metal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of melamine-modified nanographene oxide in the removal of Pb from aqueous media. To increase the efficiency of graphene oxide, it was mechanically converted to nano graphene oxide and melamine (4, 2 and 6-triazine, 3, 1 and 5 triamine). Experiments were performed at pH value of 3-8, temperature of 15-50°C, Pb concentration of 5-200 mg/g, adsorbent dose of 0.01-0.06 g, and contact time of 15- 150 minutes. The mechanism of the adsorption process was investigated using two Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic equations, and thermodynamic equations. The results showed that the adsorption rate corresponds to the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetic equation. Thermodynamic studies also showed that the adsorption process is associated with increasing irregularities and it is endothermic. In constant conditions (pH of 6, contact time of 60 minutes, ambient temperature of 22°C, Pb concentration of 20 mg/L, and adsorbent dose of 0.01 g), the adsorption capacity was 191.65 mg/g. The highest adsorption occurs at the concentration of 5 mg/L and the highest adsorption capacity and removal percentage was observed at a concentration of 200 mg/L, which were 1896.3 mg/g and 98.8%, respectively. Due to the high adsorption capacity, the adsorbent was able to remove lead from the contaminated environment.

Trapa natans peels (TNPs) and Citrullus lanatus peels (CLPs) were utilized for the biosorptive removal of brilliant green dye (BGD), after modifying with citric acid. Characterization and surface morphology were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. For the removal of BGD by citric acid-treated Trapa natans peels (CA-TNPs), the optimum conditions were obtained with adsorbent dose 0.8 g, contact time 25 minutes, initial pH 5, temperature 30°C, and agitation speed 100 rpm, while for the citric acid-treated Citrullus lanatus peels (CA-CLPs), adsorbent dose 0.8 g, contact time 20 minutes, pH 5, temperature 30°C, and agitation speed 100 rpm gave optimum results. The qmax values obtained were 108.6, 128, 144.9, and 188.68 mg/g for R-TNP, CA-TNP, R-CLP, and CA-CLP, respectively, while the correlation coefficient (R2) values obtained were 0.985, 0.986, 0.985, and 0.998 for R-TNP, CA-TNP, R-CLP, and CA-CLP, respectively. These favor the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with negative (ΔG0) values of all adsorbents, determining that the adsorption phenomenon is exothermic and spontaneous in nature. Both citric acid-treated peels of Trapa natans and Citrullus lanatus were found suitable for bulk-scale eradication of hazardous, toxic, and carcinogenic basic cationic dyes.
