<p>In this study, the potential textile dye biosorption capacity of a low-cost biosorbent (P. animale) was tested as functions of pH, biosorbent type, initial dye concentration, temperature, contact time and biosorbent dosage at batch scale level. The optimal conditions are 2, dried biosorbent, 93.16 mg/L, 45 ◦C, 1440 minutes and 4 g/L for pH, biosorbent type, initial dye concentration, temperature, contact time and adsorbent dosage, respectively. Dried P. animale removed 99.66 % of Remazol Black B (RBB). The isotherm and kinetic models were analyzed for biosorption mechanism and characteristic. According to the results, Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic models were compatible with the experimental data obtained for RBB biosorption on algal biosorbent. Also FTIR and elemental analysis were done and resulted that the functional groups on the surface of algae had significant role in biosorption process. The results of this study supported that P. animale is an effective, inexpensive and eco-friendly biosorbent for treatment of textile dye wastewater.</p>

A wide range of technologies has been developed for the removal of dyes from wastewaters to decrease their environmental impact. Wastewater containing dyes is generally treated using more than one process such as adsorption/biosorption. In this study, effects of initial pH (2-8), initial azo dye concentration (Co:25-200 mg/l), contact time (tc:2.5-1440 min) and amount of waste sludge (m:1-15 g/l) were studied by natural and modified dried waste aerobic sludge (WS) in a lab-scale batch study and also optimized by employing response surface methodology (RSM)-Box-Behnken Model for Maxilon Red GRL(MRGRL) and Everzol Red (ER) removal from wastewaters. The optimum experimental conditions were found to be pH=5, Co= 112.5 mg/l, tc= 180 min. and m= 15g/l for dyes and MRGRL and ER removal was determined as about 97% and 95.85%, respectively. The results clearly showed that amount of WS and contact time are the most important parameters for color removal. FTIR and SEM (scanning electron microscope) images were used to understand morphology and structural character of WS and after biosorption process. D-R biosorption isotherm model was used in order to determine type of biosorption mechanism. The E value of D-R isotermisotherm model was found to be 7.071 for both dye. Pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion (Weber-Morris) models were suitable for biosorption kinetics. 0,1 M HCl and NaOH were used for desorption studies. Effect of ionic strength (NaCl) was not observed between 0,5-1 mol/L NaCl on to biosorption efficiency. WS (biowaste), Natural or modified, one of the low-cost biosorbent, can be used for removal of azo dye from wastewaters.

AbstractDue to the high cost associated with the treatment of effluents containing heavy metals in the environment, the continuous untreated release of effluent containing chromium from textile industries has resulted in several adverse effects to plants, ecological systems and humans. This research therefore focused on the use of a low cost, biodegradable Heinsia crinita seed coat (HCSC) material for the biosorption of chromium(VI) from aqueous and textile contaminated effluent. The biosorbent was characterized for specific surface area, surface morphology, pH point of zero charge and surface functional groups. Operational variables influences such as biosorbent dose, pH, temperature, initial Cr(VI) ion concentration and contact time on biosorption process was tested. The optimum biosorption parameter was obtained at pH 2.0, adsorbent dosage 0.25 g and contact time of 30 min. From sorption analysis, the pseudo-second-order model best described the attenuation kinetics. Concerning biosorption equilibrium, the results suggested that the adsorption isotherm obeyed the Freundlich model. Langmuir maximum monolayer biosorption capacity of 231.7 mg/g was higher than most biosorbents for Cr(VI) ion. The thermodynamic data showed a physical, spontaneous and endothermic biosorption process. HCSC showed high percentage desorption > 90% using 0.1 M HNO3 and was efficient after three cycles of regeneration studies. The results showed HCSC biomass as a suitable candidate for abstraction of Cr(VI) ion from contaminated solution and textile effluent.

Digestate, as an urban solid waste, was considered as an innovative adsorbent for colorant polluted wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using digestate as an adsorbent material to remove various dyes belonging to different categories. The removal rate and adsorption capacity of dyes were evaluated and the dose of digestate, contact time, and initial dye concentration were studied. The maximum removal rate was approximately 96% for Methylene Blue. The equilibrium time for the Methylene Blue was 4 h, while for other dyes, a longer contact time was required to reach the equilibrium. The suspicion of colloidal matter release into the solution from solid fraction of the digestate led to the investigation of the consequence of a washing step of the digestate adsorbent upstream the adsorption experiment. Washed and not washed adsorbents were tested and the differences between them in terms of dye removal were compared. Moreover, experimental data were fitted by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intra-partial diffusion kinetic models as well as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips isotherm models. The results from fitted models showed that the adsorption of various dyes onto the digestate was mostly well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the ability of abundant low-cost garden grass to remove cadmium and chromium ions from aqueous solutions. Batch biosorption studies were carried out to examine the biosorption capacity, pH value, temperature, agitation speed, and metal ions concentration. The biosorption process revealed that the garden grass was an effective biosorbent of cadmium and chromium. The maximum chromium and cadmium removal rate was 90 and 80% at pH 4, respectively. FTIR spectroscopy analysis showed that the hydroxyl, amine, and carboxyl groups were the major groups responsible for the biosorption process. The maximum biosorption capacity was 18.19 and 19.4 mg/g for cadmium and chromium, respectively. The biosorption isotherm data fitted well the Langmuir model. Kinetic data were adequately fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

In this study, Biosorption of hexavalent chromium ions from aqueous solution by using biomass ofAspergillus nigerwas investigated. Different parameters such as initial pH, biosorbent amount, contact time and temperature were explored. The biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was highly pH dependent and the optimum pH for biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was found to be 2.0. Biosorption capacity of Cr (VI) ions decreased with increased biosorbent dosage. The biosorption equilibrium was established in about 120min of contact time. Equilibrium uptake of Cr (VI) ions onto biomass increased from 12.57 mg/g at 20°C to 19.48 mg/g at 40 °C for 20mg/L Cr (VI) ions concentration. The biosorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the correlation coefficients from the pseudo-second order model were all higher than 0.997 in all studied temperatures. These results suggest that the biomass ofAspergillus nigeris a promising biosorbent for removal of chromium (VI) ions from the wastewater.

Pomelo fruit peel, an organic waste, was utilised as a biosorbent to remove Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. Some major factors influencing Ni(II) uptake such as pH, adsorption time, and initial Ni(II) concentration were examined. Several isotherm and kinetic models including the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-diffusion models were fit to the experimental data. Results showed that the Ni(II) uptake obtained an equilibrium at pH=6 after 80 min at 303 K. The Sips isotherm model described the Ni(II) adsorption better than other models and the monoadsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model was 9.67 mg/g. The adsorption of Ni(II) followed pseudo-second-order kinetic models with three stages.

This paper investigated the use of yam peel as a natural adsorbent for the removal of Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) from waste water. The yam peels were thoroughly washed with distilled water, dried, pulverized and carbonized. The carbonized yam peel was then characterized for its particle sizes, moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, Methylene Blue number, Iodine number. The raw yam peels were prepared using the same procedure, but was not carbonized. The adsorption of Mn(II) and Cu(II) ions were investigated using adsorption experiment at room temperature. The effect of contact time, metal ion concentration and dosage were evaluated. The residual concentrations of the metal ions were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Experimental data obtained were analyzed using Kinetic models and Isotherms such as Pseudo- First order kinetic models, Pseudo-second order kinetic models, Langmuir isotherms and Freundlich isotherm. The analysis showed that the pseudo-second order kinetic model best described the adsorption of the metal ions; ( Cu; r2 = 0.991 for RYP and r2 = 0.834 for AYP) and (Mn; r2 = 0.958 for RYP and r2 = 0.896 for AYP) and the experimental data best fit the Freundlich model; (Cu; r2 = 0.564 for RYP and r2 = 0.871 for AYP) and (Mn; r2 = 0.685 for RYP and r2 = 0.736 for AYP). Finally, optimum removal efficiencies of 30.54% for Mn(II) and 39.62% for Cu(II) were obtained for AYP at concentrations of 50mg/l and mass dosage of 1.0g, 120 minutes contact time and a pH of 6.8.

Removal of Pb (II) ion from aqueous solution using Hymenoptera sphecidae (mud-wasp) nest was investigated using a batch process. The effect of pH, contact time and adsorbent dose were also investigated. The result showed that the adsorption of Pb (II) ion onto mud-wasp nest was dependent on pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. Adsorption patterns were analysed in terms of three bi-parameter isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. Freundlich isotherm gave the best fit to the adsorption data with a correlation coefficient of 0.992, while monolayer sorption capacity yielded 41.667 mg/g. Lagergren’s pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models were used to test the adsorption kinetics. The kinetic data were well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model, suggesting that the process was chemisorption type.  The results showed that mud-wasp nest can be used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Pb (II) ion from aqueous solutions.

Many studies were undertaken on the biosorption potential of different kinds of biomaterials. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the biosorption mechanism of Cr (VI) using dried cells. In our study, the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution was investigated in a batch system by the dried biomass of a chromium-resistant bacterium isolated from activated sludge samples. Equilibrium and kinetic experiments were undertaken at various initial metal concentration, pH, and biosorbent dosage. Bacillus cereus biomass was characterized using Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Biosorption process was found to be pH dependent. The optimum pH was found to be 2.0. The Langmuir and Freundlich were considered to identify the isotherm that could better describe the equilibrium adsorption of Cr (VI) onto the biomass. Langmuir and Freundlich models fitted our experimental data. The suitability of the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models for the biosorption of Cr (VI) onto Bacillus cereus was also performed. The mechanism for the adsorption was studied by fitting the kinetic data with the Boyd plot and intra-particle diffusion model. External mass transfer was found to be the rate-determining step. Based on the ionic nature of the metal, the intra-particle diffusion and extent of film diffusion varied.

The biosorption of Cr (III) ions from aqueous solutions by groundnut husk, a low-cost biosorbent was studied on a laboratory scale batch experiments. The effects of pH, contact time, particle size, biosorbent dosage and temperature on the adsorption of Cr (III) ions were investigated. Determination of Chromium ion concentration in solution was done using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results show that the removal mechanism is predominantly by chemisorption and it is dependent on the physical and chemical characteristics of the biosorbent material. From the initial concentration of 0.5 mM, optimum Cr (III) ions removal was obtained at pH of 4, particle size of 0.15 nm, contact time of 180 minutes and biosorbent dosage of 50 mg, with the highest biosorption efficiency of 81.15 %. The biosorption process was best described by the BET adsorption isotherm with R2 value 0.9814 indicating multiplayer adsorption. Analysis of the experimental data revealed that the biosorption of Cr (III) ions from aqueous solution by groundnut husk is a spontaneous process with a ?Go value of -24.38 kJmol-1 at 298 K and follow the pseudo second order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0151 min-1. The results indicate that groundnut husk can be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial adsorbents in the removal of Cr (III) ions from wastewater.
