The adsorption behavior of Cu(II) and Cd(II) onto a magnetic lignin-based nanomaterial (MLN) was investigated in detail. The results showed that the adsorption isotherm was better described by the Langmuir model, showing monolayer adsorption with a maximum adsorption capacity of 135.7 and 156.5 mg/g. The kinetics fit the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamics showed the enthalpy change of the adsorption for Cu(II) and Cd(II) was 24.12 and 36.49 kJ/mol, with entropy change of 85.12 and 130.3 J/mol·K, respectively; thus, the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous in the range of 25°C–45°C. Additionally, the adsorbent was easy to regenerate. This study shows that MLN is a capable, sustainable absorbent for the removal of heavy metals.

Chitosan nanoparticle (CS NP)-modified MnO2 nanoflakes were presented as a novel adsorbent for fast adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Loading dense CS NPs onto mono-dispersive flower-like MnO2 nanostructures reduces the overlap of CS during adsorption, and thus improves the contact of functional adsorption sites on the surface of MnO2 nanoflakes with heavy metal ions. The results show that the removal efficiency of the nanoadsorbents reaches up to 93% in 3 min for Pb(II). In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity, effects of adsorbent dosage and pH value, and the reusability were investigated. The kinetic process and adsorption isotherm fit well with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. These findings provide a potential strategy to address the overlap issue of some common nanoadsorbents.

Corn stalk was used as the initial material to prepare a corn stalk matrix-g-polyacrylonitrile-based adsorbent. At first, the corn stalk was treated with potassium hydroxide and nitric acid to obtain the corn stalk-based cellulose (CS), and then the CS was modified by 2-bromoisobutyrylbromide (2-BiBBr) to prepare a macroinitiator. After that, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was grafted onto the macroinitiator by single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP). A novel adsorbent AO CS-g-PAN was, therefore, obtained by introducing amidoxime groups onto the CS-g-PAN with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH 2 OH · HCl). FTIR, SEM and XPS were applied to characterize the structure of AO CS-g-PAN. The adsorbent was then employed to remove Pb(II) and Cu(II), and it exhibited a predominant adsorption performance on Pb(II) and Cu(II). The effect of parameters, such as temperature, adsorption time, pH and the initial concentration of metal ions on adsorption capacity, were examined in detail during its application. Results suggest that the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) and Cu(II) was 231.84 mg g –1 and 94.72 mg g −1 , and the corresponding removal efficiency was 72.03% and 63%, respectively. The pseudo-second order model was more suitable to depict the adsorption process. And the adsorption isotherm of Cu(II) accorded with the Langmuir model, while the Pb(II) conformed better to the Freundlich isotherm model.

The disposal of textile waste in water bodies is exacerbating environmental problems, which led scientists to seek natural materials to develop more sustainable ways. Searching for low cost materials was used to remove the dye in two cellulosic sources (filter papers of different brands). The papers were characterized by XRD which confirmed crystallographic profile similar to cellulose. With the aim of optimizing the best conditions, various tests were performed, where the ideal time was 180 minutes for the paper 1 and 240 minutes for the second paper, both by adjusting the pseudo second-order model. The other parameters studied was the pH, adsorbate-adsorbent systems which have maximum adsorption capacity of 2.76 mg / g at pH 2.02 and 2 mg / g at pH 11 for the paper 1 and 10.57 mg / g pH 4 and 2 mg / g at pH 11 for the paper 2. Both adsorbents had the best fit to the Langmuir model in pHs 2 and 11 at the temperature of 298 K.

The potential of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) modified Petai Belalang (Leucaenaleucocephala) leaf powder as a biosorbent for methylene blue removal from aqueous solutions was investigated. Adsorption parameters studied include initial dye concentration, pH, dosage, kinetics and isotherms. The pHzpc of chemically treated Leucaenaleucocephala leaf powder was 7.50 and adsorption equilibrium time was achieved after 60 min. The kinetic data was best represented by the pseudo-second order model. The maximum adsorption capacity predicted from Langmuir model was 208.33 mg g-1. This work indicated that NaOH treated Leucaenaleucocephala leaf powder can be an attractive biosorbent for MB removal from diluted industrial wastewater.

Objectives:Adsorption characteristics in aqueous solution were investigated to effectively remove heavy metals by the crystallization of FeS and reaction kinetics were analyzed to compare with heavy metal adsorption characteristics of zeolite.Methods:The adsorption characteristics of each media were analyzed using Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the adsorption reaction kinetics of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn) on zeolite and FeS media were analyzed by a pseudo-first or pseudo-second order reaction kinetics.Results and Discussion:The maximum adsorption capacity of zeolite was highest in Pb, and the adsorption preference was in the order of Pb>Cu>Zn. In the case of FeS media, Cu was found to have a higher adsorption capacity than Pb or Zn, and the adsorption preference was observed to be Cu>Pb>Zn. It was found that the adsorption mechanism is based on chemical adsorption (chemisorption) because adsorption of each heavy metal onto zeolite or FeS media is more suitable for pseudo-second order kinetics.Conclusions:It was found that the removal of heavy metals through FeS media has a different pattern from zeolite, and when comparing the adsorption capacity of each media, it was found that FeS media is more effective for Zn or Cu except Pb.

The removal of heavy metals from wastewater has become crucial to meet safe discharge standards. Development of more economic process has been strived owing to high cost of adsorbents. Thus, biosorption process has become the area of interest to researchers and engineers. The present study has carried out the transient removal of heavy metals from wastewater by both physically treated and chemically modified Cajanus cajan (Pigeon pea) husk (CCH) as novel biosorbents. Work includes five different models such as first order, second order, nth order, first order reversible and second order reversible under the heading of prediction of transient concentration of metal in the solution are used, and under the heading of prediction of transient metal uptake capacity; fractional power, pseudo first order, pseudo second order, second order reversible, Elovich, intra-particle diffusion and film diffusion models are used to analyse the kinetic data. For a metal at any particular initial concentration the best kinetic model with the least RMSE is identified. Pictorial comparison between experimental and pseudo second order and pseudo first order model predictive data of Cd(II) and Cu(II) transient biosorption, respectively onto CCH are illustrated. The trend of the results shows a successful prediction capability of all the kinetic models used in the present work. According to RMSE data, it can be concluded that the best kinetic models are pseudo second order for Cd(II) and pseudo first order for Cu(II). It has been found that the required equilibrium time is always less for the chemically activated than the physically activated sorbent. At 100 mg/L initial metal concentration, pseudo-first-order model has been identified as the best kinetic model for the transient Cu(II) and the best kinetic model for fitting the transient sorption of Cd(II) on CCH is pseudo-second-order. At initial metal concentration of 150 mg/L, initial biosorption rate of 9.7038 for Cd(II) on CCH(N) is greater than 1.4553 for Cu(II) on CCH(N). These indicate that Cd(II) undergoes faster adsorption rate than Cu(II) onto CCH.

The activated carbon investigated in this work was produced from the extractive residues of Brazil nut processing, more specifically from the mesocarp of the Amazonian fruit. The process was performed by muffle pyrolysis, with ZnCl2 impregnation, at 400 and 500 °C. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, thermogravimetry, CHNS elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and adsorption/desorption of N2. The results were promissory, with 99% removal of methylene blue for the CA25 material, which has a surface area of 1236 m2 g-1, much higher than commercial coal (CAC, 618 m2 g-1). The adsorption kinetics best fit the pseudo-second-order model for all materials. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 195.3 mg g-1. Therefore, the extractive residue of Brazil nut has excellent potential for the development of activated carbon, which can be used effectively to mediate environmental contamination in a given aqueous medium.

In this study, sawdust modified by cetyltimethyl ammonium bromide was applied to adsorb conge red in aqueous solutions. The characteristics of modified sawdust were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of factors, such as pH, contact time, temperature, dosage, and salt concentration, were investigated. The results revealed that the addition of modified sawdust can significantly increase the adsorption capacity of dye. The maximum adsorption capacity of dye on modified sawdust was 109 mg·g-1 at 328K. The adsorption processes were rapid within the first 30 min and reached equilibrium in about 150 min. The adsorption kinetics fitted well with pseudo-second-order model. The pH value of the solution had significant impact on the amount of adsorption. Adsorption isotherm fitted better with the Langmuir model and the adsorption was an endothermic process
