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 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.

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.

Central Composition Design with four variables and five levels coupled with response surface method was adopted to get a second order polynomial equation for dye removal percentage as the response, and to obtain the optimum conditions for maximum dye removal percentage ; which reach 84% with optimum point , eggshell (0.835 g) ,time (24min.) , initial dye concentration ( 10 mg/L) , pH (4.2). The most effecting factors on dye removal are pH and initial dye concentration. Langmuir, Freundich model gives good fitting with (R2 ]0.98). The process of adsorption of DB dye on eggshell fitted a pseudo-second order kinetic model.

Kinetic study was applied for sodium bentonite (Na-B) and hexadecylpyridinium bentonite (HDP-B) under different amounts, namely 50% (50HDP-B), 100% (100HDP-B), and 200% (200HDP-B) with respect to cation exchange capacity (CEC). Pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models were performed to optimize the sorption of Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution. The experimental data fit the pseudo second order kinetic model well. The sorption capacity (qe) of CR dye by the organo-bentonites at equilibrium was 36.0 mg g−1 (72.1%) for 50HDP-B, 48.05 mg g−1 (96.1%) for 100HDP-B, and 49.2 mg g−1 (98.4%) for 200HDP-B. These results were considerably higher than that found by Na-B. Response surface methodology with three-variable, three-level Box–Behnken design was applied for 100HDP-B to describe the removal of CR dye. The effects of three variables, namely temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial dye concentration, were studied. Predicted values of adsorption efficiency were found to be in good agreement with the obtained experimental values (R2 = 0.97). A second-order polynomial model successfully described the effects of independent variables on the CR dye removal. At the optimized condition, the toxic azo dye could be quantitatively removed from aqueous solution. The results of the present study suggest that the organo-bentonite can be used as an efficient sorbent for dye removal from aqueous solution.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of solar Photo-Fenton’s technique (H2O2/Fe2+/Solar) to treat the refinery wastewater. The experimental data were analyzed using the first and second-order kinetic models. The results clearly indicated that the pseudo-second-order models gave better prediction than the pseudo-first-order models for IC and COD removals, as indicated by the higher regression coefficients (R2). The degradation rate by this treatment could be expressed as a pseudo-second-order reaction with respect to IC and COD removals. The best operating conditions, as elucidated by kapp values, were pH (2), Fe+2 (0.08 g/L), H2O2 (1 g/L), H2O2/Fe2+ ratio (12.5), and reaction time (300 minutes). The solar Photo-Fenton reaction was very fast and reached a maximum IC and COD removals to 62% and 84%, respectively. This study demonstrated that solar Photo-Fenton oxidation process could be used effectively as a post-treatment to enhance the treatment efficiency of petroleum wastewater.

The aim of this research was to investigate the adsorption properties of anthraquinone modified carbon nanotube (ACNT) in oily wastewaters containing Pb ions. The modified adsorbents were characterized using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and SEM analysis. The adsorption and regeneration studies were conducted in batch mode using a Taguchi (L16) orthogonal array to optimize experimental runs. The controllable factors used in this study consisted of: pH of the solution (A); adsorbent dosage (B); adsorbent type (C); contact time (D); temperature (F). The effects of each factor were studied at four levels on the removal efficiency of metals from aqueous solution. Concentrations of metal ions were assessed by atomic absorption spectrometer. The total optimum adsorptive removal of lead ions was obtained with C0 = 10 mg•l-1, T = 338 K, pH = 6, m = 0.020 mg and t = 60 min. The Langmuir model was representative to simulate adsorption isotherms. The adsorption kinetics of Pb adsorption by ACNT was modeled using the pseudo-first order, the pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetics equations. The results indicate that the pseudo-second order kinetic equation and intraparticle diffusion model were adequate to describe the adsorption kinetics.

High surface area zinc oxide material in nanorod morphological structure was synthesized using an ultrasonic technique in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone as stabilizing agent. The crystallite, morphology, and surface area of the prepared white powder material were identified using XRD, SEM, and BET techniques, respectively. X-ray analysis confirms the high purity of synthesized ZnO. The evaluated specific surface area of prepared ZnO was 16.7 m2/g; this value guarantees high efficiency for water purification. The feasibility of synthesized ZnO nanorods for phosphorus sorption from aqueous solution was established using batch technique. Nano-zinc oxide exhibits high efficiency for phosphorus removal; the equilibrium state was recorded within 90 minutes. The most effective hydrogen ion concentration of the polluted solution was recorded at pH = 1 for phosphorus decontamination. The equilibrium of phosphorus sorption onto ZnO nanorods was well explained using both Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models. The calculated maximum monolayer sorption capacity was 89 mg/g according to Langmuir isotherm at 27°C. In order to explain the phosphorus sorption mechanism onto the prepared ZnO nanorods, three simplified kinetic models of pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion rate models were tested. Kinetics was well fitted by pseudo-second order kinetic model with a contribution of intraparticle diffusion.

Different crystalline calcium silicate hydrates (CSH) were synthesized under specific hydrothermal conditions and several methods were used to analyze samples. Amorphous calcium silicate hydrates (ACSH) mainly consists of disordered calcium silicate hydrate gel (C-S-H gel) and crystalline calcium silicate hydrates (CCSH) consists of crystallized tobermorite. The adsorption of carcinogenic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) onto ACSH and CCSH was investigated. The adsorption kinetics was studied using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion model. The pseudo-second-order model provided the best correlation and the intraparticle diffusion controlled the adsorption process of AFB1 onto CCSH. Adsorption isotherm parameters were obtained from Langmuir and Freundlich and the adsorption data fitted to Freundlich much better. Based on the results of N2adsorption/desorption, adsorption kinetics, and adsorption isotherms, the adsorption mechanism of AFB1 onto CCSH was developed. All results indicate that CCSH has a great potential to be a safe, easy-made, and cost-effective material for the control of AFB1 contamination.

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.

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.
