In this study we synthesized activated carbon (AC) sourced from peanut shell, an agricultural waste, for the adsorption of methyl blue from its aqueous solution. AC was produced via chemical activation method and was characterized using various tools like XRD, FESEM and Raman spectroscopy. Adsorption experiments were carried in different batches with varying initial concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time, pH and temperature. The optimized parameters for adsorption were found to be that of initial dye concentration of 150 mg/L, adsorbent dose of 120 mg/L, temperature equals to 50C, contact time of 50 minutes and pH equals to 8. Adsorption data were used to figure out isotherm models, kinetics as well as thermodynamics of the process. It was concluded that maximum adsorption capacity is coming to be 714.28 mg/g, and the adsorption is favoring the Tempkin isotherm model. Also it was observed that the process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature.

The use of low-cost adsorbent derived from agricultural waste has been investigated for the removal of Cd (II) from aqueous solution. This research reports the feasibility of using solid pineapple waste (SPW), sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and activated carbon (AC) derived from palm kernel for the removal of Cd (II) under different experimental conditions. Batch experiments were carried out at various pH (3-12), adsorbent dosage (0.01-2 g) and contact time (15-150 min). The maximum Cd (II) removal was shown by SPW (90%) followed by SCB (55%) and AC (30%) at pH 7 with a contact time of 120 min, adsorbent dosage of 1.0 g and at 1.0 ppm of the initial concentration of Cd (II) solution. The kinetics study shows that the adsorption process fitted the pseudo-second-order-model. The experimental data was analysed by both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. It was found that the Langmuir model appears to well fit the isotherm. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity calculated from Langmuir for SPW, SBC and AC were 0.3332 mg/g, 0.1865 mg/g and 0.1576 mg/g respectively. The order of Cd (II) removal by the adsorbents was SPW>SCB>AC. Thus, SPW may be an alternative adsorbent for the removal of Cd (II) ions form aqueous solution. The characterization of the SPW, SCB and AC were also carried out by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Nitrogen Gas Adsorption Single Point Surface Area Analyzer (BET).

Abstract Baobab fruit shell (BFS) biomass was used as an alternative precursor for producing high surface area and microporous baobab fruit shell activated carbon (BFS-AC) by chemical activation using KOH. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was performed for the characterization of baobab fruit shell activated carbon. The adsorption property of BFS-AC for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution was evaluated. The effect of key adsorption parameters such as the contact time (10-20 min), BFS-AC dose (2.5-3.5 g/L), pH (1-3), and agitation speed (150-250 rpm) were optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM) with faced centered central composite design (FCCCD). Consequently, a maximum adsorption capacity (196.86 mg/g) was achieved at 15 min of contact time, 2 of pH, 3 g/L of adsorbent dosage, and 250 rpm of agitation speed. The results reveal that BFS-AC has an efficient performance for the removal of phenol from aqueous media.

The present work proposes the adsorption of methyl violet (MV) from two solution systems including single MV and binary MV-Cu2+systems by activated carbon (AC) prepared from tamarind seeds in a batch system. Parameters including contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dose, and initial dye concentration were studied. The morphology of the AC was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed the maximum adsorption of MV dye onto the AC at a contact time of 60 min, solution pH of 9.0 and adsorbent dose of 0.2 and 0.5 g for the single and binary solution systems, respectively. The presence of copper ions in binary solution system decreased the adsorption efficiency of MV dye onto the AC. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms.

This research work goals at searching the effectiveness of Malachite Green dye removal using banana stem, an agricultural waste as an activated carbon. The banana stem activated carbon was made ready in the laboratory by carbonization followed by activation. Adsorption studies were carried out to check the effect of various experimental conditions like different pH values, varying contact time, initial concentration of dye and changing banana stem carbon dosage on the removal of Malachite Green dye from aqueous solution at constant Temperature and agitation speed. The equilibrium experimental data were used for applicability of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the kinetic models. Batch test showed that maximum of 99% of dye was removed when the dye concentration was 2 mg/L, at an adsorbent dose of 0.75 gm/L at dye pH 8 in 45 minutes. From the obtained results it is validated that the equilibrium data’s favorable for both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Maximum adsorption capacity of banana stem carbon on malachite green dye was found to be 8.29 mg/g. It was prevailing that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. It was observed that intra particle diffusion is not the only rate-limiting step in this adsorption system but also regression results indicate that the linear regression model gives the best results. The above observations recommend that Banana stem carbon can be competently implemented for removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solution in the adsorption treatment processes.

Present work is focused on the preparation of mustard stalk activated carbon (MSAC) using chemical activation with H3PO4 and exploring its properties for its use in dye removal from wastewater. Adsorption variable (dosage, contact time, and solution pH), pore structure, morphology, surface functional groups, equilibrium kinetics, and isotherm study for removal of methylene blue (MB) using MSAC were investigated. The present study showed that an adsorption dosage of 0.2 g L-1 and pH 8 can be considered as optimum for the MB removal. SEM result showed that pore of MSAC was larger than the pore of the mustard stalk (MS). BET surface area and total pore volume of MSAC were found as 510 m2 g-1 and 0.33 cm3 g-1, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption data were examined by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Better correspondence to the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 212.76 mg g-1 (MB onto MSAC) was obtained. Dimensionless factor, RL revealed favourable nature of the sorption in the MSAC - MB system. Adsorption rates were found to conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetics with good correlation. These results show that the MSAC could be used as a renewable and economical alternative to commercial AC in the removal of MB dye from wastewater.

Activated carbon prepared coconut shell using Phosphoric acid as an activating agent was investigated to find the feasibility ofits application for removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution through the adsorption process. The activated carbon thus prepared has been characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR. SEM morphology has revealed the pores of different diameters while FTIR showed the presence of surface functional groups such as carboxyl, phenolic and lactones. Batch mode kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of contact time, adsorbent dose and pH. The optimum pH, contact time and adsorbent dose needed for the adsorption of the heavy metal have been found to be 6, 180 minutes and 2 g/L respectively. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models have been employed to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data. It was found that the adsorption isotherm of Cd(II) onto the activated carbon was the best described by Langmuir with an adsorption capacity of 33.71 mg/g. Kinetic studies showed that a pseudo second-order model was more suitable than the pseudo first-order model. It has been concluded that the activated carbon prepared from coconut shell can be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution.

Pd–Ni nanoparticles supported on activated carbon (Pd–Ni/AC) were prepared using a phase transfer method. The purpose of synthesizing ternary composites was to enhance the surface area of synthesized Pd–Ni nanoparticles, as they have a low surface area. The resulting composite was characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for investigating its surface morphology, particle size, percentage of crystallinity and elemental composition, respectively. The XRD data and EDX analysis revealed the presence of Pd–Ni alloys impregnated on the AC. Pd–Ni/AC was used as an adsorbent for the removal of the azo dye basic blue 3 from an aqueous medium. Kinetic and isotherm models were used to calculate the adsorption parameters. The most suitable kinetic model amongst the applied models was the pseudo-second-order model, confirming the chemisorption characteristics of the process, and the most suitable isotherm model was the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 333 mg/g at 333 K. Different experimental parameters, such as the adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature and contact time, were optimized. The optimum parameters reached were: a pH of 12, temperature of 333 K, adsorbent dosage of 0.01 g and optimum contact time of 30 min. Moreover, the thermodynamics parameters of adsorption, such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°), showed the adsorption processes being exothermic with values of ΔH° equal to −6.206 kJ/mol and being spontaneous with ΔG° values of −13.297, −13.780 and −14.264 kJ/mol, respectively at 293, 313 and 333 K. An increase in entropy change (ΔS°) with a value of 0.0242 kJ/mol K, indicated the enhanced disorder at a solid–solution interface during the adsorption process. Recycling the adsorbent for six cycles with sodium hydroxide and ethanol showed a decline in the efficiency of the selected azo dye basic blue 3 up to 79%. The prepared ternary composite was found effective in the removal of the selected dye. The removal of other pollutants represents one of the possible future uses of the prepared adsorbent, but further experiments are required.

In this study, physically and chemically modified chitosan; protonated glycerol diglycidyl ether cross-linked chitosan beads (GDCLCB/H+) were prepared and characterized using FTIR and SEM. The optimum defluoridation capacity (DC) of GDCLCB/H+ was observed at the initial F- ion concentration of 15 mg/l, adsorbent dosage of 0.6 g, contact time of 30 min and pH of the solution was in the range of 5–7 at 303 ± 2 K. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted well with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity (q0), obtained from Langmuir isotherm for F-adsorption was found to be 2000 mg/kg, which was significantly higher than that of unmodified chitosan (192.3 mg/kg) and most of the chitosan-based sorbents reported in the literature. Water samples collected from Medawachchiya, Sri Lanka, were treated with the adsorbents and the results suggested that GDCLCB/H+ could be used as an effective defluoridation agent.

The possibility of Fe2O3/Areca nut activated carbon composite as an adsorbent for removal of fluoride from water is presented. Activated carbon (AC) was prepared from Areca nut by chemical activation with phosphoric acid at 400°C under nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant AC was characterized by adsorption of methylene blue and iodine. As indicated by iodine and methylene blue adsorption, the AC was highly micro and meso porous in nature. The adsorbent was prepared by compositing the AC with ferric oxide. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to describe the effect of pH, contact time and adsorbent dose on fluoride removal from water. Percentage removal of fluoride by the adsorbent was ~75 % at contact time of 180 minutes. The maximum adsorption of fluoride was observed at pH 2 with adsorbent dose of 20 gm/L. The adsorption equilibrium data was analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The adsorption data was fitted Langmuir better than Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption capacity of the Fe2O3/Areca nut activated carbon composite was found to be 4.8 mg/gm. The composite adsorbent prepared from Areca nut AC could be an efficient adsorbent for removal of fluoride from water.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2016, 12(1): 175-183

All parts of the plantain are widely used in India for various purposes. But plantain<br /> leaf sheath always ends up as waste material which accumulates as a biowaste. The present study focuses on the preparation of activated carbon using phosphoric acid as activating agent, and its efficacy as an adsorbent for the removal of reactive dyes, Reactive<br /> Green 19, and Reactive Red 141. Batch adsorption studies have been conducted and<br /> optimum adsorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, initial dye<br /> concentration, adsorbent dosage, and pH. The experimental data were analyzed using<br /> Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The pseudo-first and second-order,<br /> intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich models were used to analyze the kinetic parameters<br /> of the adsorption system. Under the optimum conditions (initial dye concentration = 200<br /> mg L–1, adsorbent dose = 1 g, pH = 2, contact time = 220 min for reactive green 19 and<br /> 180 min for reactive red 141), maximum percentage removal for reactive green 19 and<br /> reactive red 141 were obtained as 65.9 % and 72.7 %, respectively. The results demonstrate that activated carbon produced from chemical activation of the plantain waste has the potential of adsorbing reactive dyes from industrial effluents.
