Adsorption kinetics is of great significance to evaluate the performance of adsorption process. The kinetics of copper ions adsorption onto different sized sugar beet shreds has been considered. Sugar beet shreds are very promising adsorbents due to their convenient chemical composition and availability in relatively large quantities in many countries. Experimental data were fitted with pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Also, we used the intraparticle diffusion model for further analysis of kinetics. The coefficient of determination indicates that, the pseudo-second-order equation obtained by using non-linear least square method, was the most appropriate model for the description of copper ions adsorption onto sugar beet shreds. The adsorption capacities at equilibrium, for a particle size of 224 - 400 ?m, 400 - 750 ?m and 750 - 1000 ?m, are 10 mg/g, 9 mg/g and 8.6 mg/g, respectively. By using intraparticle diffusion model proposed by Weber and Morris, it was obtained that there exist two different stages in adsorption: fast initial adsorption which is further limited by intraparticle diffusion.

The natural Fly ash modified with calcium oxide has been employed to eliminate the crystal violet dyestuff from the simulated solution. Herein, the effect of different physicochemical factors like primary dye concentration, sorption contact time, the quantity of the adsorbent, temperature, along with initial simulated solution pH, evaluated for illustrating the mechanism of adsorption. Furthermore, the equilibrium study was conducted, and equilibrium models like Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin- Raduskevich (D-R) were fitted to obtain analytical results to endow with more insight into the process. The results acknowledged that the Langmuir model is well apt and suggests that the adsorption mechanism happens in a monolayer on the fly ash surface. Pseudo-first order, Pseudo-second order, and the intraparticle diffusion model evaluated, and the interpretation suggests the sorption method is obeying the Pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion model. The ascertained negative values of Gibbs free energy affirmed the unconstrained process for all symbiotic associations, and the obtained data 78.70 kJ mol<sup>–1</sup> enthalpy values manifested that exothermic mechanism was governing the reaction. The above assessment confirms the application of Calcium oxide pre-treated fly ash as a cheap adsorbent to eliminate the crystal violet dyestuff from the simulated solution.

In this study modified montmorillonite was used as an adsorbent for the removal of two selected disperse dyes i.e., Disperse Blue 56 (DB) and Disperse Red 135 (DR) from dye dispersions. The adsorption equilibrium data of dyes adsorption were investigated by using Nernst, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption kinetics was analyzed by using different models including pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and Intraparticle diffusion model. The Freundlich isotherm was found to be the most appropriate model for describing the sorption of the dyes on modified nanoclay. The best fit to the experimental results was obtained by using the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, which satisfactorily described the process of dye adsorption. Although different kinetic models may control the rate of the adsorption process, the results indicated that the main rate limiting step was the intraparticle diffusion. The results showed that the proposed modified montmorillonite could be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of disperse dyes even from highly concentrated dispersions.

Mesophilic biomass and thermophilic biomass samples were isolated and used to remove Dorasyn Red dye from aqueous solutions. The biosorption kinetics of dye uptake by four different types of biomass at three temperatures (20, 30, and 40 °C) were investigated using pseudo-first order kinetics, pseudo-second order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, Elovich, and Bangham models. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the first stage of the intraparticle diffusion model were effective in describing the experimental kinetics data. The biosorption results showed that the mesophilic biomass samples could be useful for removing dye under acidic conditions.

Abstract Genetically modified crops, which produce insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), release the toxins into soils. Although the phenomena of persistence and degradation of Bt toxins have been documented, the effect of heavy metals on the fate of these toxins in soil has not yet been elucidated. The effect of Pb(II) on the adsorption behaviors of Bt toxin in brown and red soil was investigated. With the increase of Pb(II) concentration, the adsorption of Bt toxin in brown and red soil increased. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm models gave better fitting to the experimental equilibrium data. Values of KL, KF and n increased but RL decreased with the increase of Pb(II) concentration, showing that the Pb(II) promoted the adsorption of Bt toxin in soils. The mean free energy of adsorption (E) ranged from 10.43 to 16.44 kJ mol−1 may correspond to a chemical ion-exchange mechanism. Three kinds of kinetic models, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion model, were used to test the experimental data. The results showed that the adsorption of Bt toxin by brown and red soil followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The addition of Pb(II) during the adsorption led to a decrease of the desorption of Bt toxin from soils, indicating that the residual risk of Bt toxin may become larger if soil is polluted by lead.

A novel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/calcium carbonate-based double-layer cationic dye adsorbent was developed. Polyvinyl alcohol (50 wt %) and calcium carbonate (50 wt %) were used together with borax as a cross-linking agent. The nanocomposite was prepared using only water, without the need for any toxic solvent or hazardous chemical. The final samples were obtained by the solvent casting method. The nanocomposite adsorbent was characterized using a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption performance on two cationic dyes, i.e., methylene blue and safranin was studied. Dye adsorption was quantified by measuring the nanocomposite swelling, contact time, and dye concentration. Pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models as well as intraparticle diffusion model were used to model the adsorption kinetics. Moreover, the isotherm dye adsorption was investigated by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The results revealed that the developed nanocomposite has relatively high adsorption efficiency and short adsorption time and retains its performance after several successive absorption–desorption processes. The results also showed that the pseudo-second-order model best describes the adsorption kinetics, and the Freundlich isotherm model has a better compatibility with the experimental data. Finally, an adsorption mechanism was proposed for the dye removal process. The developed PVA/CaCO3 nanocomposite can be potentially used for efficient dye removal in wastewater treatments.

Abstract In this study, the adsorption of Ni2+ and Fe3+ metal ions from aqueous solutions onto graphene oxide (GO) have been explored. The effects of various experimental factors such as pH of the solution, initial metal ion concentration and temperature were evaluated. The kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies were also investigated. The adsorption rate data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the intraparticle diffusion model. Kinetic studies indicate that the adsorption of both ions follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The isotherms of adsorption data were analyzed by adsorption isotherm models such as Langmuir and Freundlich. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Ni2+ and Fe3+ onto GO were 35.6 and 27.3 mg g−1, respectively. In addition, various thermodynamic parameters, such as enthalpy (ΔHO), entropy (ΔSO) and Gibbs free energy (ΔGO), were calculated.

The ability of Cr-bentonite prepared using synthetic wastewater containing chromium was investigated for adsorptive removal of 4-aminophenol and 4-chlorophenol from aqueous solution in a batch system at 25 °C. The physic-chemical parameters including pH value of solution and contact time were studied. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models of sorption. The equilibrium sorption data for 4-aminophenol and 4-chlorophenol were well fitted to Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the monolayer sorption capacity was found to be 26.53 and 23.81 mg/g at 25 °C, respectively. The sorption energy calculated from Dubinin-Redushkevich (D-R) isotherm are 8.31 and 8.20 kJ/mol for the uptake of 4-aminophenol and 4-chlorophenol respectively which indicates that both the sorption processes are chemical in nature. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order kinetic equation and intraparticle diffusion model. The experimental data fit very well the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Intraparticle diffusion affects 4-aminophenol and 4-chlorophenol uptake. Sorption studies carried out using industrial wastewater samples containing phenolic compounds show that there is significant potential for Cr-bentonite as an adsorbent material for phenollic compounds removal from aqueous solutions.

This study was carried out using Alfisol as an adsorbent to adsorb Cadmium and Glyphosate both of which are common inorganic and organic contaminants. The soil samples were air-dried and allowed to pass through 2mm sieve before use while its analysis was done following the standard procedures. The kinetic data were tested with pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, and it was concluded that both adsorbates adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics, while the nature and the mechanism of adsorption processes were studied by using an intraparticle diffusion model. A complete linear plot of intraparticle diffusion was obtained for glyphosate which suggests that intraparticle diffusion was the rate-controlling step in its adsorption but the opposite is the case for cadmium adsorption. The peak removal of cadmium occurred after 50 minutes with equilibrium attained over 250 minutes while peak glyphosate removal was achieved after 30 minutes. It can be concluded that Alfisol can be effectively used for the adsorption of both Cadmium and Glyphosate thus showcasing a potential environmental remediation process.

In this paper, macroporous glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer functionalized with diethylene triamine [PGME-deta], was evaluated as Reactive Black 5 (RB5) sorbent. Batch RB5 removal from aqueous solution by PGME-deta was investigated by varying pH, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and temperature. The sorption is pH sensitive having maximum at pH 2 (dye removal of 85%), decreasing with the increase of pH (dye removal of 24% at pH=11) after 60 min. Sorption kinetics was fitted to chemical-reaction and particle-diffusion models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion and Mckay models). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately predicted the RB5 amount sorbed under all investigated operating conditions, while the intraparticle diffusion was the dominant rate-limiting mechanism. The diffusion mechanism was more prevalent with the decrease in temperature and the increase in concentration. The isotherm data was best fitted with the Langmuir model, indicating homogeneous distribution of active sites on PGME-deta and monolayer sorption, with the maximum sorption capacity of 353 mg g-1. The calculated sorption rates improved with increasing temperature and an activation energy close to 40 kJ mol-1 was determined, suggesting that chemisorption was also rate-controlling.

A biomaterial based on poly(vinyl alcohol) reticulated with tricarboxi-cellulose obtained by TEMPO oxidation (OxC25) was used as a new biosorbent for Co(II) ions retention from aqueous solutions. The biosorption process of Co(II) ions was studied while mainly considering the operational factors that can influence it (i.e., biosorbent concentration, pH of the aqueous media, temperature and contact time of the phases). The maximum adsorption capacity was 181.82 mg/g, with the biosorption well fitted by the Langmuir model. The kinetic modeling of the biosorption process was based on certain models: Lagergreen (pseudo first order model), Ho (pseudo second order model), Elovich (heterogeneous biosorbent model), Webber–Morris (intraparticle diffusion model) and McKay (film diffusion model). The corresponding kinetic model suggests that this biosorption process followed a pseudo-second order kinetic model and was developed in two controlled steps beginning with film diffusion and followed by intraparticles diffusion.
