In the present study, batch mode adsorption was carried out to investigate the adsorption capacity of dried bael flowers (Aegle marmelos) for the adsorptive removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by varying agitation time, initial metal concentration, the dose of adsorbent, temperature, and initial pH of the Cu(II) ion solution. The percentage removal of 98.7% was observed at 50 ppm initial metal ion concentration, 0.5 g/100.00 cm3 adsorbent dosage, within the contact time of 120 minutes at 30 ºC in the pH range of 4 – 7. The sorption processes of Cu(II) ions was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir isotherm had a good fit with the experimental data with 0.97 of correlation coefficient (R2), and the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 23.14 mg g-1 at 30 ºC. The results obtained from sorption thermodynamic studies suggested that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous. SEM analysis showed tubular voids on the adsorbent. FTIR studies indicated the presence of functional groups like hydroxyl, –C-O, –C=O, and amide groups in the adsorbent, which can probably involve in metal ion adsorption. Therefore, dried bael flowers can be considered an effective low-cost adsorbent for treating Cu(II) ions.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) has the characteristic of forming anionic species, which are very toxic, very soluble in water and difficult to be removed. In this study, dichromate removal from aqueous solutions by chitosan and chitosan modified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was addressed. The effect of various experimental parameters, such as pH (1-9), initial concentration (10-100 mg L-1), adsorbent dose (0.005-0.350 g) and contact time (5-60 min) was investigated. All experiments were conducted in batch mode at room temperature (~21 oC). The obtained equilibrium adsorption isotherms were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Furthermore, the kinetics of dichromate removal was analyzed by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and the Elovich models. Optimum conditions for obtaining high removal (~97%) within a relatively short time (60 min) are: 5.0 pH, 0.100 g SDS-chitosan dosage and an initial Cr2O72- concentration of 10 mg L-1. The dichromate adsorption capacity of chitosan is 8.3 mg L-1, while that of SDS-chitosan is 9.7 mg L-1. In addition, the adsorption of dichromate by chitosan and SDS-chitosan is well-fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models while the adsorption kinetics is best fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

The present study investigates the potential of Simarouba glauca seed shell powder as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of the cationic dyes Malachite green (MG), Methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and elemental (CHNS) analyses. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out varying the experimental conditions, such as initial dye concentration and contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and particle size, in order to assess the adsorbent capacity for the removal of cationic dyes from wastewater. The experimental data were analysed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms. The data fitted well the Langmuir model for the dyes studied. Kinetic data were analysed using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, intraparticle diffusion and Boyd models. The experimental results showed that the pseudo-second order model fitted well.

The tea fungus was found to have good adsorption capacities for heavy metal ions. In this work it was treated with HCl or NaOH at 20?C or 100?C, with the aim to improve its adsorption ability. The sorption of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions by raw and treated tea fungus was investigated in the batch mode. The largest quantity of adsorbed Cu(II), of about 55 mg/g, was achieved by tea fungus modified with NaOH at 100?C. For Cr(VI), the largest quantity of adsorbed anions, of about 58 mg/g, was achieved by the adsorbent modified with NaOH at 20?C. It was shown that acid modification of tea fungus biomass was not effective.

Wheat husk, an agriculture byproduct, was used to adsorb copper (II) from aqueous solutions. Variables of the system, including contact time, pH, salt concentration, and equilibrium copper concentration, were adopted to study their effects on copper (II) adsorption. The results showed that coexisted salt was not favor of adsorption and pH value near 5 was favor of adsorption. Adsorbent quantity of copper onto wheat husk increased with the equilibrium concentration increasing. The kinetic process can be predicted by Elovich model while the equilibrium data was fitted better by Freundlich model.
