     In the present investigation, the synthesis of copper nanoparticles from green tea was attempted and investigated for its capacity to adsorb drugs (Ciprofloxacin). The copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were characterized by different techniques of analysis such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, atomic force microscope (AFM),  blumenauer-emmer-teller (BET), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and zeta potentials techniques. Cu-NPs lie in the mesoporous material category with a diameter in the range of 2-50 nm. The aqueous solution was investigated for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) with green tea-synthesized Cu-NPs. The results showed that ciprofloxacin efficiency depends on initial pH (2.5-10), CIP (2mg/L-15mg / L) dose, temperature (20 ° C-50 ° C); time (0-180 min) and Cu-NP dose (0.1g /L-1g /L). Spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 47nm and a surface area of 1.6562m2/g were synthesized. The batch experiment showed that 92% of CIP 0.01 mg/L were removed at a maximum adsorbent dose of 0.75 g/L, pH 4, 180 min, and an initial 1:1 rate (w / w) of CIP: Cu-NPs. Kinetic adsorption models and ciprofloxacin removal mechanisms were examined. The kinetic analysis showed that adsorption is a physical adsorption system with activation energy of 0.8409 kJ.mol-1. A pseudo-first-order model is preferred for the kinetic removal after the physically diffusing process due to the low activation energy of 13.221kJ.mol-1. On the other hand, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin isotherm models were also studied; the equilibrium data were best fitted with Langmuir and Dubinin isotherm models with maximum adsorption capacity of 5.5279, and 1.1069 mg/g, respectively. The thermodynamic values of ∆G0 were -0.0166, -0.0691, -4.1084, and -0.7014 kJ/mol at 20, 30, 40, and 50 ° C, respectively. The values of ΔH0 and ΔS0 were 18.8603 kJ/mol and 0.0652kJ/mol.k, respectively. These values showed spontaneous and endothermic sorption. The presence of the CIP concentration in aqueous media was identified by UV-analysis.

This study examines the removal of ciprofloxacin in an aqueous solution using green tea silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). The synthesized Ag-NPs have been classified by the different techniques of SEM, AFM, BET, FTIR, and Zeta potential. Spherical nanoparticles with average sizes of 32 nm and a surface area of 1.2387m2/g are found to be silver nanoparticles. The results showed that the ciprofloxacin removal efficiency depends on the initial pH (2.5-10), CIP (2-15 mg/L), temperature (20-50°C), time (0-180 min), and Ag-NPs dosage (0.1-1g/L). Batch experiments revealed that the removal rate with ratio (1:1) (w/w) were 52%, and 79.8% of the 10 mg/L of CIP at 60, and 180 minutes, respectively with optimal pH=4. Kinetic models for adsorption and ciprofloxacin mechanism removal were also investigated, and kinetic analyzes showed adsorption to be a 3.8727kJ.mol-1 activation energy physical adsorption mechanism. The kinetic removal process, due to the low activation energy of 14.0606kJ.mol-1, is preferred the model of first-order after a physical diffusion-controlled reaction. Adsorption information from Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin models was followed, and the Dubinin isotherm model was the best-fitted model. the thermodynamic parameter ?G0 values at 20, 30, 40 and 50°C were (0.5163, -0.0691, -0.9589, -0.5927kJ/mol). The value of ?H0 and ?S0 were (12.713kJ/mol and 0.0422073kJ/mol.k) which indicated favorable and endothermic sorption. The presence and concentration of CIP in aqueous media were identified through UV analysis.

Abstract To control eutrophication and recover phosphate from wastewater, a calcium carbide slag and red mud composite material (CR-LDH) was prepared using industrial waste as raw material for phosphorus adsorption. The morphology and structure of synthesized CR-LDH was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS and XRD measurements. The experimental data can be well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models, suggesting that the adsorption process of CR-LDH with respect to phosphate is a chemical and monolayer process. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity obtained by Langmuir isotherm model is 16.06 mg·g-1 at 25 oC. The intra-particle diffusion model fitting results indicated that the adsorption of phosphate by CR-LDH was controlled by both liquid membrane diffusion and intra-particle diffusion. Phosphate was bound to CR-LDH via synergistic effect of physical adsorption, ion exchange, anion intercalation and chemical precipitation as evidenced from a combination of microscopic analysis and adsorption mechanism study. The actual phosphate-containing wastewater investigation showed that CR-LDH not only exhibited good removal effect on phosphate, but also could greatly reduce turbidity, COD and ammonia nitrogen, which was suitable for disposal of practical wastewater. These results indicate that CR-LDH can be considered as potential adsorbent for the treatment of phosphate-containing wastewater, which will be helpful to achieve the goal of "treating waste with waste and turning waste into treasure".

AbstractWe investigate the adsorption of hexavalent uranium, U(VI), on phosphorylated cellulose nanofibers (PHO-CNF) and compare the results with those for native and TEMPO-oxidized nanocelluloses. Batch adsorption experiments in aqueous media show that PHO-CNF is highly efficient in removing U(VI) in the pH range between 3 and 6. Gelling of nanofiber hydrogels is observed at U(VI) concentration of 500 mg/L. Structural changes in the nanofiber network (scanning and transmission electron microscopies) and the surface chemical composition (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) gave insights on the mechanism of adsorption. The results from batch adsorption experiments are fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips isotherm models, which indicate a maximum adsorption capacity of 1550 mg/g, the highest value reported so far for any bioadsorbent. Compared to other metals (Zn, Mn, and Cu) and typical ions present in natural aqueous matrices the phosphorylated nanofibers are shown to be remarkably selective to U(VI). The results suggest a solution for the capture of uranium, which is of interest given its health and toxic impacts when present in aqueous matrices.

AbstractThe use of indigenous natural materials and their modification toward fruitful application is one of the important subjects. Thermal modification of Rice Husk at 400 oC resulted into Rice Husk Char (RHC) which was chemically modified with KOH and was labeled as KOH Modified Rice Husk Char (KMRHC). Both RHC and KMRHC were characterized by using, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-rays (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) before and after their use as adsorbents. The prepared material was applied for the removal of toxic dyes, Direct Blue (DB) and Titan Yellow (TY) from aqueous media. The maximum adsorption capacity of DB and TY dyes on KMRHC were inspected as 30.9 mg/g and 28.6 mg/g, respectively at pH 4 using initial dye concentrations of 80 mg/L containing 2500 mg/L of the adsorbent dose with agitation speed of 240 rpm at 303 K. At the same experimental conditions the highest percentage removal of DB and TY on the adsorbent were observed as 96.6% and 89.3%, respectively. Thermodynamics studies of the adsorption of DB and TY dyes on KMRHC inferred for exothermic and spontaneous process. The value of ΔS is negative which suggested that randomness decreases at the interface of adsorbent-adsorbate during the adsorption. The kinetics study indicated that the experimental data of the adsorption process for both dyes, best fits to pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data was tested on Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. It was observed that the data are best fit to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.99), which suggested that the adsorption process is dominated by chemisorption approach. The overall results suggest that various parameters of the adsorption process were not only affected by the variation in experimental conditions but also by the chemical structure of the adsorbate molecules for the same adsorbent.

Nano-sized activated carbon was prepared from pomegranate peel (PG-AC) via NaOH chemical activation and was fully characterized using BET, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, and XRD. The newly synthesized PG-AC was used for cefixime removal from the aqueous phase. The effective parameters on the adsorption process, including solution pH (2–11), salt effect (0–10%), adsorbent dosage (5–50 mg), contact time (5–300 min), and temperature (25–55 °C) were examined. The experimental adsorption equilibrium was in close agreement with the type IV isotherm model set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The adsorption process was evaluated with isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic models and it is were well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.992) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.999). The Langmuir isotherm provided a maximum adsorption capacity of 181.81 mg g−1 for cefixime uptake onto PG-AC after 60 min at pH 4. Hence, the isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic models were indicated for the multilayer sorption followed by the exothermic physical adsorption mechanism.

The equilibrium adsorption of diazo dye C.I. Acid Red 97 (AR97) from aqueous solutions onto Yemen natural clay has been studied as a function of temperature and particle size range. The equilibrium data were correlated using Langmuir, Fruendlich, Temkin, Redlich-Peterson, and Sips isotherm models. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard enthalpy (ΔHº), standard entropy (ΔSº) and standard Gibbs free energy (ΔGº) were calculated. It was found that the adsorption capacity of clay for AR97 decreases with increasing temperature and particle size range. The results show that Fruendlich and Sips isotherm models best fit the experimental data over the whole concentration range. The maximum adsorption capacity for Yemen natural clay was 196.7 (mg.g-1 ). The value of ΔHº was -20.5 (kJ.g-mol−1) indicating that the adsorption of AR79 onto Yemen natural clay is characterized by physical adsorption. ΔGº values obtained were all negatives indicating a spontaneous adsorption process

Abstract The rice husk char (RHC) was prepared by keeping a known amount of the rice husk in furnace at 400°C. The product was modified with KOH and labeled as KOH modified rice husk char (KMRHC) which was used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic dye, Orange G (OG) from aqueous media. Variation in the experimental conditions (agitation time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature) play significant role in the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of OG on KMRHC was investigated as 38.8 mg/g at pH=4 using initial dye concentrations of 80 mg/L containing 2 g/L of the adsorbent dose with agitation speed of 250 rpm at 303 K. The % adsorption of dye was inspected as 96%. Thermodynamics studies of the adsorption of OG on KMRHC indicated that the value of ΔG and ΔH were negative which revealed that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous process. The negative value of ΔS suggested that randomness decreases at the interface of adsorbent–adsorbate during the adsorption process. The kinetics study indicated that the experimental data of the adsorption process best fits to pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data was tested on Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. It was inspected that data follows all the three isotherm models (R2>0.91). However, the values of correlation coefficients (R2) indicated that the data is best fit to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2>0.99) which suggest for chemi-sorption process. The effect of temperature (303–343 K) shows that by varying the temperature the adsorption process is significantly affected. The general trend indicates that adsorption efficiency is higher at lower temperature as compared to higher temperature. This trend also suggests that the adsorption coefficient (K), rate of adsorption, and hence the spontaneity of adsorption process also decreases with raising the temperature.

In recent years, studies on the more efficient use of natural materials in adsorption processes have increased significantly. Thus, obtaining new adsorbents from marine algae biomass with higher adsorptive performance will ensure a better use of these renewable resources. In this study, the adsorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution was done using three types of adsorbent materials obtained from marine red algae biomass (Callithamnion corymbosum sp.), namely: alginate (Alg), algae waste biomass resulted after alginate extraction (AWB) and iron nanoparticles functionalized with alginate (Fe-NPs-Alg), compared to raw marine red algae biomass (RAB). FTIR spectra and SEM images recorded for each type of adsorbent indicate a porous structure and the presence of various superficial functional groups who may be involved in the retention of Cu(II) ions. The biosorption experiments were performed in a batch system, at different initial Cu(II) ion concentrations and contact times, maintaining a constant initial solution pH (4.4), adsorbent dose (2.0 g/L), and temperature (25 ± 1 °C). The obtained results indicate that the retention of Cu(II) ions requires a maximum of 60 min to reach equilibrium, and the maximum adsorption capacity increases in order: RAB (47.62 mg/g) < Fe-NPs-Alg (52.63 mg/g) < AWB (83.33 mg/g) < Alg (166.66 mg/g). The quantitative removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous effluents can be done in two successive adsorption stages, using AWB (in the first stage) and Fe-NPs-Alg (in the second stage), when the treated solution has a Cu(II) ions concentration below the maximum permissible limit. The quantitative recovery of retained Cu(II) ions (over 97%) can be done by treating these exhausted adsorbent materials with 0.1 N HNO3 solution. Therefore, the extraction of alginate from marine red algae biomass could be a viable solution to obtain efficient adsorbent materials for Cu(II) ions removal from aqueous media, and allow for a better valorisation of marine red algae biomass.

Copper nanoparticles were synthesised by the green method using African spinach and peppermint leaves extract as both reducing and capping agents. The synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR). EDS confirmed the formation of copper nanoparticles and SEM images showed spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 3.44 μm. FTIR showed that the functional groups on the leaves’ extracts were capped on the surface of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were then casted into a nano- filter membrane using cellulose actetate and used to filter contaminated water gotten from a canal at the University of Lagos. The filtration efficiency of this nano-filter was compared with the ordinary cellulose acetate membrane and the result showed that the copper nano-filter membrane gave an odorless, cleaner water than that of ordinary cellulose acetate membrane. The microbial analysis also revealed that about 96.5 % of the bacteria was removed using the copper nano-filter membrane.

Abstract In this work, the spinel nanosized MnFe2O4 (18.14 nm) was facilely synthesized through the co-precipitation method to study the removal of Zn(II) ions from aqueous media. The fabricated MnFe2O4 sample was characterized using VSM, XRD, HR-TEM, EDS, FE-SEM, and FT-IR analyses. The principal XRD peaks, which are ascribed to (4 4 0), (3 3 3), (4 2 2), (4 0 0), (2 2 2), (3 1 1), (2 2 0), and (1 1 1) crystal planes, prove the cubic assembly of nanosized manganese ferrite as shown from JCPDS No. 74-2403. The EDS pattern confirmed that the % Wt of Mn, Fe, and O is 24.12, 48.04, and 28.15, respectively. The FE-SEM image confirmed the cubic nature of the surface of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles which have an average size of 110 nm. The saturation magnetization was 65 emu/g. The impacts of initial pH, concentration of Zn(II) ions, contact time, and temperature on the uptake of Zn(II) ions were accurately investigated. The removal of Zn(II) ions is spontaneous, exothermic, and followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity equals 330.03 mg/g.
