ABSTRACT Biomass as raw material is one solution that can be developed in the management of agricultural, plantation, and industrial waste. The utilization of biomass-derived from waste can help reduce pollution and environmental pollution. This research was conducted to make Silicon Carbide (SiC) adsorbent from wood biomass using Sengon sawdust as a source of carbon and non-wood biomass, namely coconut husk, as a source of silica. SiC adsorbent is applied for ammonium adsorption, which has implications on reducing ammonia gas from wastewater, reducing odor. The research methods included isolation of silica and carbon, the production of SiC adsorbent by magnesiothermic reduction, and the characterization of SiC adsorbents with XRD and SEM-EDX. Adsorption capacities of SiC to ammonium were determined according to SiO2:C adsorbent ratios (1:3 and 5:3), adsorbent mass variations, and ammonium concentrations in simulated wastewater using the spectrophotometric method. The results showed that SiC could be used as an adsorbent because there are pores on the surface structure. The optimum SiO2:C adsorbent ratio in adsorbing ammonium was 1:3 (SiC 136) with 45% adsorbed ammonium and an adsorption capacity of 0.47 mg/g. The optimum adsorbent mass in adsorbing ammonium was 0.1 g with 41.77% adsorbed ammonium. The optimum concentration of ammonium in simulated wastewater for ammonium adsorption was 20 mg/L with 46.25% adsorbed ammonium. The adsorption isotherm pattern during the ammonium adsorption process follows the Freundlich isotherm, which means that the adsorption process occurs physically.

Diatomite was modified by microwave treatment to increase their utilization value, using modified diatomite to treat ammonia-nitrogen wastewater. The experiment indicated that adsorption process of modification of the modified time by microwaves and microwave power is the impact of ammonia adsorption of the main factors. Through modification experiments by raising the capacity of diatomite adsorption ammonia nitrogen, adsorption of ammonia nitrogen increase over one time. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to fit and the experimental results show that the modified diatomite adsorption onto ammonia nitrogen accords with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacities are 5.81083mg/g.

Abstract Simple, fast, effective, low cost and waste biosorbents, lemon, bean and artichoke shells, were used to remove lead (II) ions from aqueous solution. The influence of pH, contact time, temperature and lead (II) concentration of the removal process was investigated. The sufficient contact time was deemed 10 minutes for bean and artichoke shells and 60 minutes for lemon shells for Pb(II) ions. The thermodynamic parameters, such as standard free energy (ΔG), standard enthalpy (ΔH), and standard entropy (ΔS) of the adsorption process were calculated as −5.6786, −5.5758, −3.1488 kJmol−1 for ΔG, −7.2791, −20.285, −9.5561 kJ mol−1 for ΔH, −0.00545, −0.05017, −0.02185 kJ mol−1 K−1 for ΔS, respectively, for lemon, artichoke and bean shells. Maximum adsorption capacities of lead (II) were observed as 61.30 mg g−1, 88.5 mg g−1 and 62.81 mg g−1, respectively, for lemon, bean and artichoke shells according to the Freundlich isotherm model at 20 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray detector (EDX) were used to characterize the surface morphology of the adsorbents. Consequently, Pb(II) removal using lemon, bean and artichoke shells would be an effective method for the economic treatment of wastewater.

AbstractIn the present work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of styrene-6.7%-divinylbenzene copolymers functionalized with aminophosphonate groups by “one-pot” reactions. Different aminophosphonate groups were grafted on the copolymer with the aim of obtaining adsorbents for removal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were carried out in batch system. The phenolic compounds studied were phenol and 2,4,6-trimethyl-phenol. The best adsorption capacity was observed in the case of polymeric adsorbents functionalized with aminophosphonate groups in para- position of the aromatic nucleus for both phenol and 2,4,6-trimethyl-phenol. In comparison, the copolymers with the functional groups in ortho- position and respectively in meta- position were slightly less efficient. The differences in adsorption efficiency may be explained taking into account the structure of the adsorption active centers. The possible explanation is that the active functional groups responsible for the adsorption process, grafted in ortho- or meta- position could be affected by possible steric hindrance effects. The difference between the adsorption capacities of the polymers of the same series, are rather small and depending on the nature of the radical found in the structure of the aminophosphonate: isopropylamine or isobuthylamine.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bio-adsorbent from coconut husk for the removal of remazol red dye. The characteristics of coconut husk bio adsorbent are studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of different types of adsorbent and the effects of initial dye concentration on the removal of remazol red dyes were evaluated. The results showed that the percentage removal of remazol red dye by the treated bio adsorbent is higher compared to the untreated bio adsorbent, especially by activated coconut husk with 5 hours burning time in the furnace. The SEM results also show that the treated bio adsorbent morphology is more porous and rougher to improve the adsorption process. Meanwhile, FTIR analysis shows the reduction of peaks because of the removal of much lignin and hemicelluloses. The best adsorbent recorded is activated coconut husk at 5 hours burning time when it achieved 75% removal.

Poly(acrylic acid- co-2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)/kaolin hydrogel composite was synthesised using acrylic acid (AA), 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and kaolin (KL) as main materials. The composite was characterised and used to remove methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solutions. Effect of adsorption conditions, including initial concentration of MO, contact time, pH values and ionic strength, on the adsorption capacities was studied. Maximal adsorption capacity was 506 mg/g as the initial concentration of MO was 1000 mg/L. It showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous, and the isotherms and kinetics were in good agreement with the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order equation, respectively.

In this study, waste eggshells were used as a low cost raw material to remove ethyl orange dye in aqueous solution. The waste eggshells were calcined at temperatures of 600, 700, 800 and 900°C in the furnace for 2 h. Further, the calcined waste eggshells were treated chemically using 2 M of potassium carbonate. The calcined waste eggshells were characterized using Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA). The surface morphology of the calcined and uncalcined (i.e. natural) waste eggshell was obtained using Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The dye concentration was determined using UV-Vis spectrometry at wavelength of 474 nm. The results obtained showed that the percentage of dye removal using natural waste eggshell was 47.1%. For the calcined waste eggshell, the removal of dye decreased as the calcined temperature increased. For the pH effect, the acidic solutions give the highest percentage of dye removal which is 54 %. As expected, the higher the dose of waste eggshell used, the higher the dye removed. The highest removal of dye was obtained by using 2.0g of waste eggshell which is 48.2%. For the temperature effect, the adsorption of dye decreased as the temperature increased. The highest removal of dye was achieved at 50°C which is 63.0%. In this study, the adsorption process was found to fit the Freundlich isotherm than of the Langmuir isotherm.

The BIOTON® biochar, produced by a wood biomass pyrolysis process, usually applied as a soil amendment, was investigated for a novel application, i.e. the adsorption of lead from contaminated solutions. The experimental activity firstly included the physical-chemical characterization of BIOTON®; SEM images were also obtained to highlight its internal structure. The adsorption process was investigated through batch and column experiments. Adsorption kinetics showed a very rapid achievement of the equilibrium conditions, i.e. at 2h and 4h for 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L initial Pb concentration, respectively. Complete removal also occurred within the same time. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller model better fitted the equilibrium data for both Pb concentrations, whereas the kinetics were best represented by the pseudo second order model. The column tests showed that the addition of biochar as adsorbent media within the bed significantly extended the time of breakthrough and exhaustion, with respect to the column filled with soil only. The adsorption capacities of BIOTON® versus lead solutions was found to be comparable to that reported for commercial adsorbents. Therefore, BIOTON® can be considered a valid option, with the additional benefit to reduce the environmental impact since allows to recover a residue which alternately would need to be disposed of.

Abstract Bioremediation is preferred in heavy metal remediation, and the high-performance microbe is of prime importance. In the present research, three Pb-resistant microbes were isolated and growth characteristics and adsorption capacities were evaluated. The results showed that R. oryzae SD-1, T. asperellum SD-5, and M. irregularis SD-8 can grow well under 100 mg L−1 Pb2+ ions stress. There is a higher minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Pb but lower MICs of Cd and Zn in T. asperellum SD-5. However, there were similar MICs of Cu among the three microbes. R. oryzae SD-1 exhibited a higher adsorption capacity and removal rate relative to the other two microbes under various Pb2+ ion levels. The Langmuir equation was fitted for the adsorption capacity of T. asperellum SD-5 and M. irregularis SD-8, and their maximum adsorption capacities were approximately 456.62 mg g−1 and 93.62 mg g−1. Moreover, the Elovich equation and the double constant equation can describe the adsorption process of Pb2+ ions in Pb-resistant microbes well. The strongest adsorption capacity under lower Pb2+ ion level was observed in M. irregularis SD-8, while the strongest adsorption capacities under higher Pb2+ ion levels were seen in R. oryzae SD-1 and T. asperellum SD-5. Therefore, three novel Pb-resistant microbes may be used as efficient, easily cultivated materials for Pb-contaminated soil remediation.

This paper focuses on the development and characterization of activated carbons to agro-food waste by activation with ortho phosphoric acid, and its application in the elimination of chromium in solution. The functions were determined by Bohem's method. The thermal analysis was carried out on the hulls of waste. The specific surface area and the pore volume are determined according to the method of Brunauer, Emmet and Teller and the method of Barret, Joyner and Halenda respectively. The Lagergren and Ho and McKay models were used for the kinetic study of chromium removal. Those of Langmuir and Freundlich have to do with the study of isotherms and the law of Van't Hoff and Gibbs in relation to the determination of thermodynamic parameters. The results obtained show that the surface functions are acidic in nature. Activated carbon from balanites aegyptiaca has developed a specific surface (1560.7401 m2 g -1 ) that exceeds that of Hyphaene thebaica (722.1510 m2 g -1 ). The pseudo-order 2 kinetics (Ho and McKay) better describe the adsorption with correlation coefficients close to unity. Adsorption capacities and rate constants prove rapid adsorption at the early stages. For the isotherms, the calculated parameter values are much more consistent with those of the Langmuir isotherm. ∆Gads 0 < 0 ; the adsorption process is spontaneous. Moreover, the values are in the range of a physisorption.
