In this study, Chironomus yoshimatsui larvae were applied to remove Ni(II) and Cr(III) ions from wastewater. The sorption studies were carried out using laboratory-reared C. y. larvae. It was found that C. y. larvae are very susceptible to Cr(III) as compared to Ni(II). The survival capacity of C. y. larvae was sharply reduced when exposed to even low Cr(III) concentration. Sorption isotherm and kinetics of C. y. larvae for Ni(II) were determined by means of controlled experiments in a batch system. It was observed that sorpyion efficiency of Ni(II) was largely concentration dependent and more effective at lower concentration. At each equilibrium, Ni(II) was removed up to roughly 44∼80 %. Sorption data were better fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model because of its correlation coefficient R2 value greater than that of the Freundlich isotherm model. The sorption kinetics by C. y. larvae for Ni(II) was well described a pseudo-first-order rate expression. C. y. larvae have enormous potential for application in wastewater treatment technologies because they are widespread and abundant all around the world and can be easily kept in culture.

Through the experiment of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) adsorption by KMnO4modifiedDurio zibethinusMurr Shell (KDS), the best condition, adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic characteristics were studied. The isotherm parameters were estimated by linear regression analysis with Langmuir isotherm model, Temkin isotherm and Freundlich isotherm model. The equilibrium process was described well by the Freundlich isotherm model, which indicated that the adsorption thermodynamics of CIP on KDS is a multilayer adsorption process.The kinetics of the interactions showed better agreement with the pseudo-second-order model (R2=0.9999). This study demonstrated that KDS could be used for the removal of CIP in water treatment.

Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang kecekapan penjerap yang lebih murah, iaitu tayar getah terbuang (DRT), dalam menyingkirkan toluena daripada fasa akuas. Penjerapan toluena pada tayar getah terbuang dikaji menggunakan sistem berkelompok pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Daripada kajian ini, didapati toluena dapat disingkirkan sehingga 70% dengan menggunakan julat kepekatan awalan antara 50 mg/l hingga 300 mg/l. Dengan menggunakan model keseimbangan terlelurus, iaitu model Langmuir dan Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan maksimum dapat ditentukan. Daripada data eksperimen, terbukti bahawa walaupun kedua–dua model isoterma Langmuir dan Freundlich boleh menjelaskan data isoterma, tetapi penjerapan toluena pada DRT dapat ditunjukkan dengan lebih baik oleh isoterma Freudlich. Bagi nilai K Freundlich, keupayaan penjerapan ialah 6.6374 mg/l dan 7.7535 mg/l, pada suhu 25°C dan 30°C. Nilai eksponen n Freudlich adalah lebih daripada satu untuk kedua–dua suhu. Kata kunci: Toluena, penjerapan, isoterma, tayar getah terbuang, model isoterma Langmuir, model isoterma Freundlich This paper discusses the effectiveness of a less expensive adsorbent, a discarded rubber tyre (DRT) in removing toluene from aqueuos phase. Adsorption of toluene on a DRT has been studied by using batch system at 25 and 30°C. It was found that up to 70% of toluene was removed for the range of toluene initial concentrations studied between 50–300 mg/l. Using linearized forms of equilibrium models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich models, the maximum adsorptive capacities were determined. It was evident from the experimental data that, although both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could describe the isotherm data, the adsorption of toluene on a DRT was described well by the Freundlich isotherm. For Freundlich K values, sorption capacities were 6.6374 and 7.7535 mg/l at 25 and 30°C, respectively. The values of Freundlich exponent n were greater than one for both temperatures. Key words: Toluene, adsoprtion, isotherms, discarded rubber tyre, Langmuir isotherm model, Freundlich isotherm model

To improve the mechanical properties, the cobalt ferrocyanide precipitation was carried out on clinoptilolite as an inorganic polymer. In this work the combination of two important factors, stability (zeolite) and high adsorption capacity (cobalt ferrocyanide) were considered to improve the ions uptake ability of adsorbent. The modification was approved by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electronic microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The modified zeolite was applied to remove Sr(II) and Cs(I) ions from aqueous solution in a batch system. The adsorption capacities of modified zeolite for Cs(I) and Sr(II) improved to 90 and 130 mgg-1, respectively. The Sr(II) and Cs(I) removal were investigated as a function of shaking time, pH, Sr(II), and Cs(I) initial concentration and temperature. The experimental data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm model for two sorbet metal ions. The time dependence sorption data showed that the uptakes of Cs(I) and Sr(II) were very rapid and apparent sorption equilibriums were achieved within 100 min of contact time. The kinetic experimental data were fitted to the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, the double exponential, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models. The sorption rates and capacities as well as rate constants were evaluated.

Static adsorption of Sb (III) on a porous biomorph-genetic composite of Fe2O3/Fe3O4/C (PBGC-Fe/C-B) was studied. The results showed that the kinetic curve of Sb (III) adsorption by PBGC-Fe/C-B had same change trend under initial concentration of 5, 10 and 50 mg/L. The fitting and regression analysis of four kinds of kinetic model indicated that, the adsorption kinetics of Sb (III) by the PBGC-Fe/C-B well follow the pseudo-second-order model (R2>0.9999). At different reaction temperature (25 °C, 35 °C and 45 °C), the adsorption capacity of Sb (III) by PBGC-Fe/C-B both increased with increasing the solution equilibrium concentration. While it showed a declined tendency with temperature increased. The Langmuir isotherm model (R2>0.98) and the Freundlich isotherm model (R2>0.95) had both better fitted with the equilibrium data.

Equilibrium sorption of the Thermally Treated Rice Husk (TTRH) for Sulfamethazine (SMT) adsorption was studied. The Physico-chemical properties of the modified rice husk were determined. The equilibrium sorption data were fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms. Of the three adsorption isotherm, the R2 value of Langmuir isotherm model was the highest. Also compared to other isotherms the AARE coefficient for the Langmuir isotherm is low, which indicates favorable sorption. The maximum monolayer coverage (qm) from Langmuir isotherm model was determined to be 19.11 mg/g, the separation factor indicating a favorable sorption experiment is 0.446. Also from Freundlich Isotherm model, the sorption intensity (n) which indicates favorable sorption and the correlation value are 1.84 and 3.79 respectively. The mean free energy was estimated from Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm model to be 9.18 KJ/mol which clearly proved that the adsorption experiment followed a physical process.

Acetylated sawdust (AS) has been studied as sorbent for crude oil spill clean-up operations in the aqueous environment. Sorption kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under various experimental conditions. The experimental data were particularly tested using the Langmuir isotherm model and the Freundlich isotherm model. The results showed that the acetylation of sawdust enhanced the equilibrium sorption capacity of biomass towards the crude oil. Kinetic studies have shown that the data better fitted the Langmuir moldel than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of AS was 7.9 g/g of crude oil. These values indicated that the acetylated sawdust is a suitable sorbent with potential for further development for oil spill treatment.

In the present work, expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by microwave irradiation. Then, the expanded graphite/polyaniline (EG/PANi) composite was synthesized in the typical method. The samples of EG and EG/PANi were characterized by SEM and IR analysis techniques. Adsorption property of EG/PANi composite for removing the dye, reactive brilliant red K-2BP, from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of initial dye concentration and contact time, pH, sorbent dosage on the adsorption process were studied. Experimental data were modelled by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Langmuir isotherm model fitted well the equilibrium data for EG/PANi composite comparing to the Freundlich isotherm model. The uptake capacity of EG/PANi for K-2BP was found to be 1.03047 mg/g. The results indicated that EG/PANi composite is not an ideal sorbent used for reactive dye removal.

The adsorption of Ni(II) with D301R resin was investigated in this paper. The results showed that the saturated extent of adsorption Ni(II) by the resin was 84.3 mg/g. The equilibrium data of Ni(II) sorption was better described by Langmuir isotherm model (r2=0.994) while that of Ni(II) sorption also fitted in Freundlich isotherm model within the experimental concentration range. The amount of the constant (q0) of Ni(II) under 298 K in Langmuir model was 76.92 mg/g, which was close to the experimental results. The constant n was within 2–10 in Freundlich model; it was shown that adsorption of Ni(II) by the resin was easy to take place. The uptake kinetics followed the Lagergren pseudo-first-order rate equation (r2=0.9813). The particle diffusion controlled the adsorption process of Ni(II). The coefficient of the intraparticle diffusion increased with the increase of the pH values and the concentration of Ni(II) in aqueous solution. There was a drop of 20.1 cm−1for the bending vibration frequency of N–H bond. Results showed that the adsorption of Ni(II) by D301R anion exchange resin was the surface complexation through the infrared spectrum analysis.

Extraction and purification of humic acid from dry horse dung powder (HD-HA) was performed successfully and the purified HD-HA was then applied as sorbent to adsorb Zn2+. Extraction and purification were performed based on procedure of Stevenson (1994) under atmospheric air. Parameters investigated in this work consist of effect of medium sorption acidity, sorption rate (ka) and desorption rate constant (kd), Langmuir (monolayer) and Freundlich (multilayer) sorption capacities, and energy (E) of sorption. The ka and kd were determined according to the kinetic model of second order sorption reaching equilibrium, monolayer sorption capacity (b) and energy (E) were determined according to Langmuir isotherm model, and multilayer sorption capacity (B) was determined based on Freundlich isotherm model. Sorption of Zn2+ on purified HD-HA was maximum at pH 5.0. The novel kinetic expression resulted from proposed kinetic model has been shown to be more applicable than the commonly known Lagergren equation obtained from the pseudo-first order sorption model. The application of the equation revealed that the intercept of Lagergren equation, ln qe was more complex function of initial concentration of Zn2+ (a), Langmuir sorption capacity (b), and sorbed Zn2+ at equilibrium (xe).
