Synthesis, characterization and application of iron oxide nanoparticles have received much attention in recent years due to their interesting chemical and physics properties. Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesed by chemical co-precipitation and characterized using X ray diffraction (XDR), Fourier transmission spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering and (DLS). Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successfully removed humic acid (HA) from water. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent nanoparticle doses and HA concentrations were analyzed. Maximum HA removal occurred at pH 6 (89.63%), 40 mg.L-1 of Magnetite (88.8%), 0.03g of HA (96.64%) and contact time of 20 min (94.37%). Sorption data fit pseudo-second order kinetics, indicated a chemical adsorption process. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe equilibrium data. Adsorption of HA on magnetite nanoparticles was well described by Temkin model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 128.23 mg.g-1. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were promising potential adsorbents for HA removal from water.

Removal of lead (II) from aqueous solutions was studied by using pretreated fish bones as natural, cost-effective, waste sorbents. The effect of pH, contact time, temperature, and metal concentration on the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb (II) was found to be 323 mg/g at optimum conditions. The experiments showed that when pH increased, an increase in the adsorbed amount of metal of the fish bones was observed. The kinetic results of adsorption obeyed a pseudo second-order model. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied to experimental equilibrium data of Pb (II) adsorption and the value ofRLfor Pb (II) was found to be 0.906. The thermodynamic parameters related to the adsorption process such asEa,ΔG°,ΔH°, andΔS° were calculated andEa,ΔH°, andΔS° were found to be 7.06, 46.01 kJ mol−1, and 0.141 kJ mol−1K−1for Pb (III), respectively.ΔH° values (46.01 kJmol−1) showed that the adsorption mechanism was endothermic. Weber-Morris and Urano-Tachikawa diffusion models were also applied to the experimental equilibrium data. The fish bones were effectively used as sorbent for the removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and humic acid coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4/HA) were investigated for the removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution. Batch sorption experiments were studied as a function contact time, adsorbent mass, U(VI) concentration and pH. The sorption kinetic data follow the pseudo-second order while the isotherms are found to obey Langmuir model with maximum capacity (Qmax) of 230, 196 mg/g for Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/HA, respectively. The study reveals that humic acid decreases the sorption capacity due to the formation of a polyanionic organic coating and thus altering the surface properties of the particles and reduces the magnetite aggregation and stabilizes the magnetite suspension.

Abstract A novel adsorbent (Fe3O4/HCO) was prepared via co-precipitation from a mix of ferriferrous oxide and a Ce-rich waste industrial sludge recovered from an optical polishing activity. The effect of system parameters including reaction time, pH, dose, temperature as well as initial concentration on the adsorption of Sb(III) were investigated by sequential batch tests. The Sb(III)/Fe3O4/HCO system quickly reached adsorption equilibrium within 2 h, was effective over a wide pH (3–7) and demonstrated excellent removal at a 60 mg/L Sb(III) concentration. Three isothermal adsorption models were assessed to describe the equilibrium data for Sb(III) with Fe3O4/HCO. Compared to the Freundlich and dubinin-radushkevich, the Langmuir isotherm model showed the best fit, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 22.853 mg/g, which exceeds many comparable absorbents. Four kinetic models, Pseudo-first-order, Pseudo-second-order, Elovich and Intra-particle, were used to fit the adsorption process. The analysis showed that the mechanism was pseudo-second-order and chemical adsorption played a dominant role in the adsorption of Sb(III) by Fe3O4/HCO (correlation coefficient R2 = 0.993). Thermodynamic calculations suggest that adsorption of Sb(III) ions was endothermic, spontaneous and a thermodynamically feasible process. The mechanism of the adsorption of Sb(III) on Fe3O4/HCO could be described by the synergistic adsorption of Sb (III) on Fe3O4, FeCe2O4 and hydrous ceric oxide. The Fe3O4/HCO sorbent appears to be an efficient and environment-friendly material for the removal of Sb(III) from wastewater.

Activated lignin having surface area of 1023 m2.g-1 has been prepared from sulfate lignin that was treated by 30 % H2O2 and carbonized at 300 °C in order to test the chromium (VI) adsorption from aqueous solution. The influence of contact time, pH, initial concentration of adsorbent and adsorbate and temperature on the adsorption capacity were investigated. The maximum removal of Cr(VI) was found to be 92,36 % at pH=2 and contact time of 80 min. Optimal concentration of lignin and Cr(VI) were found to be 3.8 g.l-1 and 180 mg.l-1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics was tested pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equation. The analytical data were fitted well in a pseudo-second-order equation and the rate of removal of chromium was found to speed up with increasing temperature. Activation energy for the adsorption process was found to be 18.19 Kj.mol-1. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe the isotherm and isotherm constants for the adsorption of Cr (VI) on lignin. These constants and correlation coefficients of the isotherm models were calculated and compared. Results indicated that Cr (VI) uptake could be described by the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of Cr (VI) on lignin was 75.75 mg.g-1 at temperature of 40°C. The dimensionless equilibrium parameter (RL) signified a favorable adsorption of Cr (VI) on lignin and was found between 0.0601 and 0.818 (0<RL<1). The thermodynamic parameters like ΔG°, ΔS° and ΔH° were calculated and it has been found that the reaction was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. This study indicates that lignin has the potential to become an effective and economical adsorbent for removal Cr (VI) from the waste water.

A simple, low cost, and effective method for the removal of acridine orange (AO), a mutagenic cationic dye, from aqueous model solutions by adsorption onto dried sugar beet pulp (SBP) was evaluated in the present study. The AO removal was enhanced along with the increase of the initial solution pH and dye concentration. It was found that the adsorption process closely follows a pseudo-second-order chemisorption kinetics. The obtained equilibrium data obey both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The SBP was proved to be very promising adsorbent for AO removal. Maximum adsorption capacity of the Langmuir monolayer of SBP for AO was found to be 5.37, 34.6, 89.62, 144.53 and 324.58 mg/g, at 25?C for the solution pH of 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8, respectively.

Simultaneous adsorption of phenol and phosphate(V) ions on the surfactant-modified clay from the binary mixture was studied and compared with the single phenol or phosphate(V) sorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of hexadecyltrimethylammonium–bentonite was 18.8 mg/g for phenol and 38.5 mg/g for phosphate(V) at simultaneous adsorption of both of them. The optimal pH values of adsorption on hexadecyltrimethylammonium–bentonite was found to be 7.0 and >7 for phosphate(V) and phenol, respectively. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order reaction for both. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models.

AbstractThe sorption of Sr2+ ions by natural clinoptilolite was investigated using the batch method. The effects of pH, contact time and strontium concentrations were tested and the optimal conditions for sorption were determined. The process was very fast initially and equilibrium was reached within 24 h. Kinetic sorption data were fitted to pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion models. The simple pseudo-second-order rate model provides good agreement with the experimental data for Sr2+ uptake. The respective rate constants, k2, calculated at different initial Sr2+ concentrations, were obtained. The equilibrium data were analysed by applying the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Raduchkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir model describes the observed Sr2+ uptake most accurately and the value of the monolayer sorption capacity is 32.81 mg Sr2+/g. The effect of Na+ ions and the effectiveness of uptake from low saline groundwater simulated solutions were also studied and discussed.
