In this research, NiAl-LDH was synthesized using the coprecipitation method and modified with biochar and graphite to produce NiAl-biochar and NiAl-graphite composite materials. The adsorbent that has been synthesized is used for the application of adsorption of Fe(II) ions in aqueous solution. The resulting material was characterized by XRD (X-ray Diffraction) analysis, spectrophotometer FT-IR, BET analysis for determine the specific surface area and TG-DTA analysis. XRD diffractogram showed that the NiAl-Biochar and NiAl-graphite composite material had the diffraction pattern characteristic of the precursor. LDH that has been modified will have a larger surface area than the precursor. The surface area of NiAl-biochar reaches 438.942 m2/g and the surface area of NiAl-graphitereaches 21.595 m2/g. This composite material supports adsorbents with a large adsorption capacity to adsorb metals. Adsorption of Fe (II) using NiAl-Biochar and NiAl-graphite was stable for five regeneration cycles (<75.30%). The Fe(II) ion adsorption process tends to follow the Langmuir isotherm model which has a maximum capacity value (Qmax) of NiAl-Biochar composite material reaching 20 times with a value of 243.902 mg/g and the NiAl-graphite composite reaching 72.464 mg/g, so that the carbon-based composite material is considered effective. adsorbent to remove Fe(II) ion and can increase the stability of the structure for adsorption regeneration. The results of the analysis of thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process was endothermic, tookplace spontaneously and the solid-liquid phase interface increased according to the increasing degree of disorder.

This study investigates the adsorption behavior of methyl orange (MO) by magnetic activated carbons (MACs) with different ratios of AC:Magnetite from aqueous solution. Batch experiments for MO adsorption were carried out for evaluating the thermodynamics and kinetics parameters onto the MACs adsorbents. Variables such as pH, initial concentration of the dye, contact time, and temperature have been analyzed. The physicochemical characteristics of MACs were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area analyzer (BET), and X-ray power diffraction. The results of SEM and BET analysis showed that MACs adsorbents present a porous structure and large surface area, suitable conditions for the adsorption process. The X-ray diffraction patterns of MACs revealed that the adsorbents possess magnetite as magnetic material. Adsorption kinetic studies carried out onto MACs showed that the pseudo-second order model provides a good description of the kinetic process. The adsorption equilibrium results were well adjusted to the Langmuir isotherm, showing that the maximum adsorption capacity was for MACs with a ratio 3:1 and 2:1 AC/magnetite. Thermodynamic analysis declare that the adsorption process was established as spontaneous, endothermic and physical adsorption in nature. The results of the present study indicated that MACs adsorbents can be used successfully for eliminating MO from aqueous solution.

Zeolite beta, a large-pore zeolite, was investigated in this study with a view to examining it as a potential adsorbent for the removal of aniline from aqueous solutions. Two different metal-loaded zeolites were prepared by exchanging H-beta zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1) with copper. The influence of exchanged copper on the uptake level was assessed. The effect of varying the silica-to-alumina ratio of the H-beta zeolite on the aniline uptake level was also examined, using three different H-beta zeolites with ratios of 25:1, 75:1 and 150:1 as adsorbents. The sorption experiments indicated an uptake level of ca. 110–120 mg/g for each zeolite and this level was also adsorbed by the copper-modified H-beta zeolites (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1). In all cases, the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model for adsorption and the level of aniline adsorbed was largely unaffected by a change in temperature or the presence of extra framework copper. The stability of the exchanged copper on these zeolites was then examined by measuring the quantity of copper leached from each zeolite into solution as a function of pH. Minimum copper leaching was observed in the pH range 5–11. This provided a stable pH working range for the adsorbent materials.

Chemically activated biochars prepared from sorghum distillers grain using two base activators (NaOH and KOH) were investigated for their adsorption properties with respect to ammonium nitrogen from aqueous solution. Detailed characterizations, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), and specific surface area analyses, were carried out to offer a broad evaluation of the prepared biochars. The results showed that the NaOH- and KOH-activated biochars exhibited significantly enhanced adsorption capacity, by 2.93 and 4.74 times, respectively, in comparison with the pristine biochar. Although the NaOH-activated biochar possessed larger specific surface area (132.8 and 117.7 m2/g for the NaOH- and KOH-activated biochars, respectively), the KOH-activated biochar had higher adsorption capacity owing to its much higher content of functional groups. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the KOH-activated biochar at different temperatures were further studied. The biochar had a maximum adsorption capacity of 14.34 mg/g at 45 °C, which was satisfactory compared with other biochars prepared using different feedstocks. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and chemical adsorption was the rate-controlling step. The equilibrium data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm, and the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Consequently, this work demonstrates that chemically activated biochar from sorghum distillers grain is effective for ammonium nitrogen removal.

AbstractStudies on the adsorption of Pb(II) on plantain peels biochar (PPB) was conducted. The carbonized and activated, biochar was characterized using Braunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and x-ray diffraction crystallography (XRD). BET analysis of the PPB indicated that the pore size (cc/g) and pore surface area (m2/g) was 8.79 and 16.69 respectively. Result of the XRD evaluated through Debye-Scherrer equation, showed a nanostructure with crystallite size of 14.56 nm. Effects of initial metal ion concentration, pH, and contact time were studied in a batch reaction process. Results showed that the adsorption of lead from aqueous solution increased with an increase in pH and initial concentration. Equilibrium modeling studies suggested that the data fitted mainly to the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetic data tested using various kinetic models fitted the Weber and Morris intraparticle diffusion model implicating pore diffusion as the main rate limiting step. The sorption studies indicated the potential of plantain peel biochar as an effective, efficient and low cost adsorbent for remediating lead (II) ions contaminated environment.

Lignin was degraded by Fenton-like reaction using Cu-BG-MCM41, in which BG-MCM41 was synthesized by hydrothermal technique from Bagasse ash (BG) as a support. Cu was immobilized on BG-MCM41 by in situ hydrothermal and impregnation method and characterized by XRD and BET surface area. The Fenton-like reactions were carried out in a batch reactor using 5wt%CuO/SiO2, 10wt%CuO/SiO2, 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 and 10wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 at the pH of 3 and the temperature of 80°C. The Cu loading, pH, and temperature affected lignin degradation. The efficiency of lignin degradation obtained were 95% for 5wt%CuO/SiO2, 95% for 10wt%CuO/SiO2, 65% for 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 and 96% for 10wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 at the pH of 3 and 80°C for 30 min. The results show that pH and temperature affected the stability of Cu loading, in which it was leached into the aqueous solution and that the reaction will occur in the aqueous solution more than on the surface of catalyst. Thus, 5wt%Cu-BG-MCM41 has the highest stability for Fenton-like reactions.

The paper investigates the possibility of removing acid dye from the aqueous solution by an adsorption process on new adsorbent prepared from waste cotton textile from the ready-made garment industry. It is a waste generated during the cutting of the layers of cotton knitwear, which is practically the product from the textile cutting process. The obtained adsorbent is a bulk material with heterogeneous porous particles, of ragged shapes. In particle interiors, there are pronounced cracks, cavities and channels that form the basis of microporous material. The qualitative and quantitative characterization of the obtained adsorbent shows that this is a relatively porous material where the carbon is dominant in the chemical composition. The results of textural properties of new adsorbent from cotton knitwear waste show different parameters which with their numerous values characterize the specific surface area, pore volume or pore diameter. It can be said that the obtained new adsorbent has micropores and small mesopores, which produce a high specific surface area. During adsorption, the longer contact time causes a greater amount of dye on the adsorbent, i.e. with the duration of the adsorption process the dye concentration in the solution decreases. A number of isotherms of two- (Langmuir, Freundlich and Jovanovic), three- (Toth, Sips and Radke-Prausnitz), and four-parameter models (Fritz-Schlunder and Marczewski-Jaroniec) were used to describe the adsorption process. The four-parameter isotherms are best covered by experimental points and most accurately describe the events of adsorption of acid dye on the surface and in the interior of the new adsorbent particles obtained from ready–made garment cotton waste. The results of this research suggest the possibility of practical application in the decolorization of the colored waste waters of the textile industry providing a contribution to protecting the environment from both an economic and a practical point of view.

Due to their toxicity, Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions in the environment are severe. The hydroxyapatite composite was improved with magnetic MnFe2O4 to remove Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions from an aqueous solution. Hydroxyapatite was extracted from Snakehead (Channa striata) fish bones via alkaline-heat treatment. The hydroxyapatite/MnFe2O4 composite performance was analyzed through XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, BET analysis, and VSM, and the results reveal that the hydroxyapatite/MnFe2O4 composite shows good magnetic properties of 21.95 emu/g. The kinetics evaluation confirmed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model was more suitable to describe the adsorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions by hydroxyapatite/MnFe2O4 composite from the solution. The Langmuir isotherm model was suitable to describe the adsorption process of the Cd(II) and Ni(II)  ions, where the adsorption capacities for Cd(II) and Ni(II) are 54.3 and 47.4 mg/g, respectively. Desorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions from hydroxyapatite/MnFe2O4 composite using NaCl as the eluent was more effective than EDTA. The findings of this study indicate that hydroxyapatite/MnFe2O4 can reduce Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions in wastewater so that it can recover natural resources.

In this study, carbon-based nanofluids (CBNFs) with the minimized carbon materials (MCMs) were prepared using a graphite powder-based heating and cooling processing method (GP-HCPM). In addition, sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) was added as a dispersant to enhance the stability of the CBNFs. Two methods, one involving fixed heating and cooling rates and the other involving fixed heating and cooling temperatures, were used to measure and analyze the phase change characteristics of the CBNFs and SDBS aqueous solution in order to evaluate the feasibility of employing CBNFs as phase change materials (PCMs) for cold storage applications. Results revealed that SDBS reduced the thermal conductivity (k) and increased the viscosity (μ), density (ρ), and specific heat (cp) of the samples; the CBNFs tended to increase the k, μ, and ρ values but reduce the cp values of the samples, compared with water. Furthermore, the SDBS aqueous solution and CBNFs significantly reduced the contact angle of droplets, compared with water. Phase change experiments conducted for all samples revealed that the CBNF sample S4 demonstrated the greatest reduction ratios in onset nucleation time, solidification time, and subcooling degree (38.98%, 11.05%, and 35.41%, resp.); thus, S4 was determined to be the most suitable CBNF for use as a PCM in cold storage applications.

The industrial importance of metal catalysts supported on reducible oxides has stimulated considerable interest during the last few years. This presentation reports on the study of the physicochemical properties of metallic rhodium supported on vanadium pentoxide (Rh/V2O5). Electron optical methods, in conjunction with other techniques, were used to characterise the catalyst before its use in the hydrogenolysis of butane; a reaction for which Rh metal is known to be among the most active catalysts.V2O5 powder was prepared by thermal decomposition of high purity ammonium metavanadate in air at 400 °C for 2 hours. Previous studies of the microstructure of this compound, by HREM, SEM and gas adsorption, showed it to be non— porous with a very low surface area of 6m2/g3. The metal loading of the catalyst used was lwt%Rh on V2Q5. It was prepared by wet impregnating the support with an aqueous solution of RhCI3.3H2O.
