In this study, adsorption of NO3- -N and PO43--P on granular activated charcoal (GAC) was investigated depending on pH, agitation time, GAC dosage, adsorption capacity and adsorption isotherms by employing batch adsorption type. The GAC was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron micrograph coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and BET surface area analyzer. The GAC exhibited nearly similar adsorption equilibrium time. Both NO3--N and PO43—P appeared to approach equilibrium after approximately 4 h of agitation time. In the adsorption equilibrium, the removal efficiencies of NO3- -N and PO43--P were found to be 14.6-66.0 % and 52.4-99.0 %, respectively. The adsorption data for NO3--N and PO43--P was correlated to Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model and the equilibrium data was fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model due to their higher correlation coefficient (R2) value. The Langmuir adsorption capacity was 1.54 and 2.56 mg g-1 for NO3--N and PO43--P, respectively, which suggests that the GAC is a good adsorbent for removal of NO3--N and PO43—P from water.

The ability to remove toxic heavy metals, such as Pb(II), from the environment is an important objective from both human-health and ecological perspectives. Herein, we describe the fabrication of a novel carboxymethylcellulose-coated metal organic material (MOF-5–CMC) adsorbent that removed lead ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption material was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We studied the functions of the contact time, pH, the original concentration of the Pb(II) solution, and adsorption temperature on adsorption capacity. MOF-5–CMC beads exhibit good adsorption performance; the maximum adsorption capacity obtained from the Langmuir isotherm-model is 322.58 mg/g, and the adsorption equilibrium was reached in 120 min at a concentration of 300 mg/L. The adsorption kinetics is well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the adsorption equilibrium data are well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.988). Thermodynamics experiments indicate that the adsorption process is both spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, the adsorbent is reusable. We conclude that MOF-5–CMC is a good adsorbent that can be used to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions.

The modified valonian tannin was prepared through sulfonated-mannich reaction and used to adsorb Cu (II) from the aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity rapidly reached equilibrium within 2 hours. The effect of pH on adsorption was apparent, the amount of adsorption increased significantly as the pH increased from 2.0 to 4.0 and then leveled off at pH 4.0-6.0. Equilibrium data fitted well with Freundlich isotherm model compared to Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that adsorption takes place on heterogeneous surface of the modified valonia tannin. The adsorption capacity was increased by increasing initial concentrations. The maximum adsorption capacity of cooper ion was determined to be 56.200 mg/g at 100 mg/L concentration.

Poly Pyrrle saw dust composite was prepared by reinforcement of natural wood saw dust (obtained fromEuphorbia Tirucalli Lwood) and Poly Pyrrole matrix phase. The present study investigates the adsorption behaviour of Poly Pyrrole Saw dust Composite towards reactive dye. The batch adsorption studies were carried out by varying solution pH, initial dye concentration, contact time and temperature. The kinetic study showed that adsorption of Reactive Red by PPC was best represented by pseudo-second order kinetics with ion exchange adsorption. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model. The equilibrium isotherm data were fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities calculated by Langmuir model were 204.08 mg/g for Reactive Red at 303 K. The thermodynamic parameters suggest the spontaneous, endothermic nature of ion exchange adsorption with weak Vader walls force of attraction. Activation energy for the adsorption of Reactive by Poly Pyrrole Composite was 11.6387 kJ/mole, Isosteric Heat of adsorption was 48.5454 kJ/mole also supported the ion exchange adsorption process in which forces of attraction between dye molecules and PPC is weak.

Abstract In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was assessed for the removal of cationic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The batch adsorption experiments indicated that MB adsorption onto S-CS-MT follows the Pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum extent obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model for MB adsorption was 188.2 mg g− 1 at 303 K. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption reaction is favorable and spontaneous. These findings indicated that montmorillonite chitosan grafted with the sulfonate group has the ability and efficacy as biohybrid adsorbent for the adsorption of cationic dyes.

Environmental contextGlyphosate is a highly effective and widely used organophosphorus pesticide, but its residues can harm the environment and human health. We report a carboxylated carbon nanotubes-graphene oxide aerogel that can efficiently remove glyphosate from water. This technology has great application prospects in dealing with water contaminated with glyphosate. AbstractGlyphosate, an organophosphorus pesticide, has received considerable attention in recent years owing to its carcinogenic potency. The technologies that remove glyphosate in the environment, especially in water, are important. In this work, we prepare a carboxylated carbon nanotubes-graphene oxide aerogel (cCNTs-GA) by the freeze-drying method for the adsorption of glyphosate. The prepared aerogel exhibits an ultra-low density (7.30mgcm−3), good morphology and strong mechanical strength. Meanwhile, a NaOH solution (0.5molL−1) is selected as an eluent and the adsorption parameters for the adsorption of glyphosate are optimised. The properties of the adsorbents after multiple repetitions and the adsorption mechanism of the cCNTs-GA are also studied. The results show that the adsorbent can be recycled more than 20 times and maintains a good adsorption performance. The maximum adsorption capacity of glyphosate at pH 3 is calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model (546mgg−1 at the temperature of 298K), and the cCNTs-GA exhibits a high adsorption affinity and adsorption capacity for glyphosate, as determined by the partition coefficient (PC). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fits well to the dynamic behaviour. The equilibrium adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm model and the adsorption process is mainly controlled by the intraparticle diffusion model. Furthermore, thermodynamic analysis indicates that the adsorption of glyphosate on the cCNTs-GA is exothermic and spontaneous. The adsorbent is used to remove glyphosate from waste water and the adsorption capacity of the cCNTs-GA for glyphosate is higher than other adsorbents, which indicates that the developed adsorbent has a great potential application in environmental pollution treatment.

In this study, adsorption of zinc onto the adsorbent (untreated rice husk and NaOH-treated rice husk) was examined. During the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of pH and contact time were investigated. Langmuir isotherm was applied in order to determine the efficiency of NaOH-treated rice husk used as an adsorbent. The zinc adsorption was fast, and equilibrium was attained within 30 min. The maximum removal ratios of zinc for untreated rice husk and NaOH-treated rice husk after 1.5 h were 52.3% and 95.2%, respectively, with initial zinc concentration of 25 mg/L and optimum pH of 4.0. Data obtained from batch adsorption experiments fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model. Maximum adsorption capacity of zinc onto untreated rice husk and NaOH-treated rice husk was 12.41 mg/g, and 20.08 mg/g respectively, at adsorbent dosage of 1 g/L at 25°C. The nature of functional groups (i.e., amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl) and metal ion interactions was examined by the FT-IR technique. It was concluded that the NaOH-treated rice husk had stronger adsorption capacity for Zn2+compared with the untreated rice husk. The NaOH-treated rice husk is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly adsorbent for Zn2+removal from aqueous solutions.

Removing toxic heavy metal species from aqueous solutions is a point of concern in our society. In this paper, a promising biomass adsorbent, the modified waste shrimp shell (MS), for Cu (II) removal was successfully prepared using a facile and simple one-step modification, making it possible to achieve high-efficiency recycling of the waste NaOH solution as the modification agent. The outcome shows that with the continuous increase in pH, temperature and ion concentration, the adsorption effect of MS on Cu (II) can also be continuously improved. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics were fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Cu (II) as obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model fitting reached 1.04 mmol/g. The systematic desorption results indicated that the desorption rate of Cu (II) in the MS could reach 100% within 6 min, where HNO3 is used as the desorption agent. Moreover, experiments have proven that after five successive recycles of NaOH as a modifier, the adsorption capacity of MS on Cu (II) was efficient and stable, maintaining tendency in 0.83–0.85 mmol/g, which shows that waste NaOH solution can be used as a modification agent in the preparation of waste shrimp shell adsorbent, such as waste NaOH solution produced in industrial production, thereby making it possible to turn waste into renewable resources and providing a new way to recycle resources.

In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of Ampelodesmos mauritanicus stems activated carbon (AMSAC) were studied. The produced activated carbon by phosphoric acid activation followed carbonisation was characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Sorption potential of AMSAC for the removal of methylene bleu from water was investigated. The experimental data found that AMSAC had high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 1293 m2/g and abundant pores with specific volume of 1.23 m3/g. FTIR analysis reveals various functional groups on the surface of AMSAC which can be play an important role for the adsorption process. Langmuir isotherm model fitted well the equilibrium data for the methylene bleu comparing to the Freundlich isotherm model; the monolayer sorption capacity of AMSAC was found to be 411.8 mg/g at 25 °C
