The removal of dyes from colored effluents, particularly from textile industries, is one of the major environmental concerns these days. Current methods for removing dyes from wastewaters are costly and cannot effectively be used to treat wide range of such wastewaters. This work describes the use of grounded rice hull as adsorbent material. Aqueous solutions of various methylene blue dye concentrations (5-25 mg l-1) were shaken with certain amount of adsorbents to determine the adsorption capacity. Both treated and untreated rice hulls were used for methylene blue adsorption. The effects of adsorbents dose, initial pH, initial dye concentration and contact time on dye removal have been studied. Maximum dye was sequestered from the solution within 60-90 min after the beginning of every experiment. The adsorption capacity increased from 72 to 94 % with increasing the pH from 3 to 10. Pretreatment of rice hulls with citric acid did not reveal any beneficial effect. Rice hulls were more effective compared to commercial used adsorbents used. The results showed that ground rice hulls can be considered as potential adsorbents for methylene blue removal from dilute aqueous solutions.

In this work, the potential of ouricuri (Syagrus coronata) fiber as a novel biosorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The fiber was prepared and characterized according to the fundamental features for adsorption. A 23 experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of adsorbent dosage (M), fiber diameter (D) and agitation (A) on the adsorption capacity. In the more adequate conditions, kinetic and equilibrium studies were performed. The experimental design results showed that M = 10 g L−1), D = 0.595 mm and A = 200 rpm were the more adequate conditions for MB adsorption. Based on the kinetic study, it was found that the adsorption process was fast, being the equilibrium was attained at about 5 min, with 90% of color removal. The isotherm was properly represented by the Sips model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 31.7 mg g−1. In brief, it was demonstrated that ouricuri fiber is an alternative biosorbent to remove MB from aqueous media, taking into account the process efficiency and economic viewpoint.

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.

This work investigated the feasibility of Quercus mongolica sawdust pretreated by an ionic liquid-water mixture as a biosorbent for Cu (II) removal from aqueous solutions. Maximum Cu (II) biosorption of 32.6 mg/g is obtained at initial pH 4.3 using sawdust pretreated by a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4miCl)-water mixture (IL content 60%) at 90oC, which is higher than that of unpretreated sawdust (23.0 mg/g, initial pH 6.1). The proposed method is effective in enhancing adsorption capacity of the biomass in comparison to the conventional methods using sulfur acid or sodium hydroxide solutions.

This article reports effective removal of methylene blue (MB) dyes from aqueous solutions using a novel magnetic polymer nanocomposite. The core-shell structured nanosorbents was fabricated via coating Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a layer of hydrogel material, that synthesized by carboxymethyl cellulose cross-linked with poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide). Some physico-chemical properties of the nanosorbents were characterized by various testing methods. The nanosorbent could be easily separated from aqueous solutions by an external magnetic field and the mass fraction of outer hydrogel shell was 20.3 wt%. The adsorption performance was investigated as the effects of solution pH, adsorbent content, initial dye concentration, and contact time. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at neutral pH of 7 with a sorbent dose of 1.5 g L−1. The experimental data of MB adsorption were fit to Langmuir isotherm model and Pseudo-second-order kinetic model with maximum adsorption of 34.3 mg g−1. XPS technique was applied to study the mechanism of adsorption, electrostatic attraction and physically adsorption may control the adsorption behavior of the composite nanosorbents. In addition, a good reusability of 83.5% MB recovering with adsorption capacity decreasing by 16.5% over five cycles of sorption/desorption was observed.

Adsorbent System

In the present investigation , neem leaves are obtained from the agricultural fields and its potential for the removal of dye is tested with the model system of methylene blue in water . The MB has health hazards, its been reported that exposures to the dyes cause allergic reactions, and hence its reflected as toxic. The results obtained from batch experiments are quite useful in giving information about the efficacy of dye-adsorbent system. The influence of factors such as the initial pH value, adsorbent dose, and time of contact was investigated. The results indicate that the percentage removal also increased with the rise in the adsorption capacity (qe). 82% of colour elimination can be obtained at the dose of 100g/l NLP for methylene blue of 10mg/l concentration. The optimal parameters for this experiment were 10mg/l for initial dye concentration, 5gm/50ml adsorbent dosage and pH 8. In the batch system, the adsorption capacity was increased when the parameters were increased until it achieved the equilibrium. Langmuir adsorption isotherm graphics plotted with l/qevis 1/Ce. Trend lines for the adsorption data of different concentration of methylene blue with neem leave as adsorbent is plotted. The linear regression was piloted using plot l/qevis 1/Ce; it was found that R2 value are quite closer to 1 signifying Langmuir isotherm as a good fit for this experimental data. Results indicated that neem leaves has potential to remove Methylene Blue Dye from aqueous streams and can be successfully used as a low cost adsorbent.

In order to resolve the pollution of coloured wastewater, starch microsphere was used to absorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions in this paper. Starch microsphere is artificial starch derivative, can be synthesized by cross-linking reaction from crude starch and modified starch. The cross-linked starch microsphere was prepared from soluble starch and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide, and starch microsphere has characteres of irregular appearance, uniform size, suitable swelling, three-dimensional network structure, suitable shell pore diameter and specific surface area, good mechanical intensity. The microporous structure of starch microsphere was determined using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). The adsorption capacity of starch microsphere to methylene blue was studied. It could be shown that the adsorption capacity increases with the increase of concentration of methylene blue. Also, the lower the temperature was, the bigger the adsorption capacity of SM was in the same concentration. So, starch microsphere could effectively absorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions and thus the influencing factors of the adsorption were discussed in detail.

The adsorption capacity was compared for the dye wastewater onto adsorbent MnO2. The effects of contact time and dosage of adsorbent were studied. The adsorption kinetics was analyzed. The results showed that MnO2 possessed higher adsorption capacity to Methylene blue than Methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 94.82%and 78.63% respectively under the conditions (the dosage1.2g/L, time 60min, initial dye concentration 50mg/L, pH7). The dynamical data fit well with the pseudo second order kinetic model. The MnO2 has higher Methylene blue adsorption capacity in short equilibrium times and are good alternative in wastewater treatment.
