Recently, low-cost adsorbents from sustainable sources are required for the remediation of textile wastewater. Carbonized Orange Peels (COPs) was utilized in remediating colour, Zinc and Copper from textile wastewater. The initial and final pH, colour and trace metals’ composition of the wastewater used were determined for the adsorption processes. Batch adsorption experiment was carried out on COPs and textile wastewater’s mixture to find effects of COP’s dosage, agitation, pH and contact time on the colour, Zinc and Copper’s removal from the wastewater. The adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies were conducted using Langmuir, Freundlich, Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order models. Findings established that the optimum removal of colour, Zinc and Copper respectively occurred at an adsorbent dosage of 2.5, 0.5 and 3.0 g/100ml, pH of 10, 4 and 2, rotating speed of 100, 250 and 250 rpm, contact time of 40, 60, and 40 mins. The adsorption isotherms revealed only copper adsorption as optimum and well fitted Langmuir isotherm. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model best suited adsorption data of the colour and metal ions with high correlation coefficient (R2) exceeding 0.95. Conclusively, COPs is effective in remediating the colour, copper and zinc from the wastewater, thus, recommended as suitable adsorbent for treatment of textile wastewater

This study investigates the potential use of activated carbon, prepared from pomegranate peels, as an adsorbent activated using H3PO4 and its ability to remove crystal violet from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method (specific surface area: 51.0674 m2 g−1) and point of zero charge (pHPZC = 5.2). However, some examined factors were found to have significant impacts on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels such as the initial dye concentration (5–15 mg L−1), solution pH (2–14), adsorbent dose (1–8 g L−1), agitation speed (100–700 r/min), and temperature (298–338 K). The best adsorption capacity was found at pH 11 with an adsorbent dose of 1 g L−1, an agitation speed at 400 r/min, and a contact time of 45 min. The adsorption mechanism of crystal violet onto activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels was studied using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and Webber–Morris diffusion models. The adsorption kinetics were found to rather follow a pseudo-second order kinetic model with a determination coefficient ( R2) of 0.999. The equilibrium adsorption data for crystal violet adsorbed onto activated carbon derived from pomegranate peels were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, and Temkin models. The results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation with qmax capacities of 23.26 and 76.92 mg g−1 at 27°C and 32°C, respectively. The adsorption isotherms at different temperatures have been used for the determination of thermodynamic parameters like the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy to predict the nature of adsorption process. The negative values Δ G0 (−5.221 to −1.571 kJ mol−1) and Δ H0 (−86.141 kJ mol−1) indicate that the overall adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic with a physisorption process. The adsorbent derived from pomegranate peels was found to be very effective and suitable for the removal of reactive dyes from aqueous solutions, due to its availability, low-cost preparation, and good adsorption capacity.

In this method,Leucaena leucocephalaseed pods (LLSP) have been used for removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the effect of process parameters like pH, contact time initial Cu(II) ions concentration and adsorbent dose. The maximum adsorption of Cu(II) ions onLeucaena leucocephalaseed pods was 94.17% at pH 5. The amount of metal adsorbed per unit weight of adsorbent increases with time and reach equilibrium after 30 minutes of shaking time for the different initial metal concentrations. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equations were applied for the equilibrium adsorption data and the various isotherm parameters were evaluated. The obtained plots were linear as evident fromR2values close to unity. The data agreed very well with the pseudo second-order kinetic model.

Digestate, as an urban solid waste, was considered as an innovative adsorbent for colorant polluted wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using digestate as an adsorbent material to remove various dyes belonging to different categories. The removal rate and adsorption capacity of dyes were evaluated and the dose of digestate, contact time, and initial dye concentration were studied. The maximum removal rate was approximately 96% for Methylene Blue. The equilibrium time for the Methylene Blue was 4 h, while for other dyes, a longer contact time was required to reach the equilibrium. The suspicion of colloidal matter release into the solution from solid fraction of the digestate led to the investigation of the consequence of a washing step of the digestate adsorbent upstream the adsorption experiment. Washed and not washed adsorbents were tested and the differences between them in terms of dye removal were compared. Moreover, experimental data were fitted by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intra-partial diffusion kinetic models as well as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips isotherm models. The results from fitted models showed that the adsorption of various dyes onto the digestate was mostly well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

In this study, Biosorption of hexavalent chromium ions from aqueous solution by using biomass ofAspergillus nigerwas investigated. Different parameters such as initial pH, biosorbent amount, contact time and temperature were explored. The biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was highly pH dependent and the optimum pH for biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was found to be 2.0. Biosorption capacity of Cr (VI) ions decreased with increased biosorbent dosage. The biosorption equilibrium was established in about 120min of contact time. Equilibrium uptake of Cr (VI) ions onto biomass increased from 12.57 mg/g at 20°C to 19.48 mg/g at 40 °C for 20mg/L Cr (VI) ions concentration. The biosorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the correlation coefficients from the pseudo-second order model were all higher than 0.997 in all studied temperatures. These results suggest that the biomass ofAspergillus nigeris a promising biosorbent for removal of chromium (VI) ions from the wastewater.

The present paper deals with a complete batch adsorption study of 4-nitrophenol (4NP) from aqueous solution onto activated carbon prepared from Acacia glauca sawdust (AGAC). The surface area of the adsorbent determined by methylene blue method is found to be 311.20 m2/g. The optimum dose of adsorbent was found to be 2 g/l with 4NP uptake of 25.93 mg/g. The equilibrium time was found to be 30 minutes with the percentage removal of 96.40 at the initial concentration of 50 ppm. The maximum removal of 98.94% was found to be at pH of 6. The equilibrium and kinetic study revealed that the Radke–Prausnitz isotherm and pseudo second order kinetics model fitted the respective data well. In the thermodynamic study, the negative value of Gibbs free energy change (−26.38 kJ/mol at 30°C) and enthalpy change (−6.12 kJ/mol) showed the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process.

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.

Cauliflower leaf powder (CLP), a biosorbent prepared from seasonal agricultural crop waste material, has been employed as a prospective adsorbent for the removal of a basic dye, methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption method under varying conditions, namely, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, solution pH, and temperature. Characterization of the material by FTIR and SEM indicates the presence of functional groups and rough coarse surface suitable for the adsorption of methylene blue over it. Efforts were made to fit the isotherm data using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin equation. The experimental data were best described by Freundlich isotherm model, with an adsorption capacity of 149.22 mg/g at room temperature. To evaluate the rate of methylene blue adsorption onto CLP, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models were employed. The experimental data were best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters such as changes in enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs’ free energy showed the feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. On the basis of experimental results obtained, it may be concluded that the CLP prepared from agricultural waste has considerable potential as low-cost adsorbent in wastewater treatment for the removal of basic dye, MB.

Abstract In the present work, we modified ZSM-5 zeolite using a bio polymer poly (diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) and employed it for the removal of cationic dye, methylene blue from aqueous solution. The chemical and physical properties of the modified ZSM-5 zeolite were investigated using XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, nitrogen adsorption, TGA and 27Al NMR. Modified ZSM-5 zeolite possesses high surface area and pore diameter which was confirmed from SEM, TEM and nitrogen adsorption analysis. Adsorption of methylene blue on zeolite was investigated by batch adsorption technique. The effect of different parameters such as zeolite dosage, initial methylene blue concentration, temperature, pH and contact time on the adsorption process was discussed. Maximum adsorption capacity (4.31 mg/g) was achieved using 0.1g of modified ZSM-5 zeolite at the optimum conditions (initial dye concentration: 10 mg/L, pH: 10, temperature:30oC and contact time: 300 min). The experimental data were fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich models and the results indicate that the adsorption process followed Freundlich isotherm. Kinetic data were investigated using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Kinetic analysis indicates that pseudo-second-order model is more suitable to describe adsorption of MB on modified ZSM-5 zeolite. The reusability test suggests that the adsorbent could be reused at least six times without significant loss in removal efficiency.
