The paper summarizes the literature data on the use of onion (Allium cepa) processing waste as sorption materials to remove various pollutants (metal ions, dyes, antibiotics) from aqueous media. It provides brief literature data on the structure, volume of cultivation, and chemical composition of some components of onion biomass. It was found that onions contain many amino acids, vitamins, polyphenolic compounds, and other biologically active compounds that have various functional groups in their composition. This contributes to the removal of various metal ions (Ca2+, Cd2+, Cr(VI), Cu2+, Hg2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+) from aqueous media with native and modified onion processing waste (onion skin). The work shows the possibility of increasing the sorption characteristics of pollutants by treating the Allium cepa biomass with various chemical reagents. It was found that the pollutant adsorption isotherms on onion skin are most often more accurately described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, less often by other models. The kinetics of the process predominantly corresponds to the pseudo-second-order model. It was shown that the use of onion skin extracts modified with various chemical compounds is promising for removing heavy metal ions. The work also shows the possibility of using onion skin modified by plasma and microwave radiation to remove the Methylene blue dye from simulated solutions.

The paper summarizes data from literature sources using the waste of processing cucurbits (pumpkin, watermelon, melon, cucumber) as a sorption material to remove various pollutants from water environments. It states that cucurbits' shells are effective sorption materials for extracting heavy metal ions and dyes. Seeds of large cucurbits fruits (pumpkin, watermelon, melon) and seed shells also showed good sorption performance for heavy metal ions and dyes. It was found that most of the pollutants adsorption isotherms on cucurbits by-products are most accurately described by the Langmuir model, less often by the Freundlich model, and occasionally by the Tyomkin or Dubinin-Radushkevich models. It was determined that the adsorption process kinetics most often follows the pseudo-second-order model, less often – the logistic model. To increase the adsorption characteristics of cucurbits fruit components for various pollutants, they were modified with various chemical reagents.

In the article presented the data on the possibility of using crushed pine nutshell to extract methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. In Russia, in Siberia, located up to 80% of the world's reserves of Siberian cedar pine. Up to 12 million tons of pine nuts can be acquired annually, when processed into kernels or cedar oil, pine nut shell is formed as a waste, representing 51-59% of the nut weight itself. Despite proposed technological options for usage of pine nutshells, the issue of disposal of this material has not been fully resolved. One of the alternative options for the disposal of pine shells is obtaining sorption material for the extraction of pollutants from aqueous media. To improve the cleaning efficiency, the pine shell was treated with 10% NaOH solution. It was found that processing pine nutshells with 10% NaOH solution for 5 minutes at a temperature of 25 °C gives an improvement in cleaningefficiency of 96%, and an increase in the temperature of NaOH solution up to 97%. The recommended particle size of the pine nuts shell is less than 2 mm.

Background: Due to an abrupt increase in the contamination of freshwater systems by dye-containing wastewater, there is an urgent need to find robust and greener adsorbents for the elimination of dyes from the contaminated water. As the dyes not only change the appearance of water but are also a cause of many serious problems, which can be some time mutagenic and carcinogenic. Methods: This research paper is based on the use of adsorbent made from the peel of jackfruit (POJ). The adsorbent derived from agriculture waste was low cost and efficient for the elimination of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous media. Batch adsorption experiments were accompanied by varying the pH of the solution, contact time, POJ dosage, and initial MB concentration. Results: It was seen that adsorption of MB onto Jackfruit peel adsorbent follows pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics and Langmuir isotherm with maximum biosorption capacity (qm) of 232.55 mg/g. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic, and associated with the rise in entropy. Conclusion: In view of the low-cost and promising adsorption efficiency, the present investigation submits that that POJ is novel and economically feasible adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

Untreated and chemically treated Albizia coriaria, Erythrina abyssinica and Musa spp. were studied in batch for uptake of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions at pH 2.0–9.0 and agitation time of 30–390 min. Optimum biosorption conditions were pH 4 for Pb2+ ions and pH 5 for Cd2+ ions, contact time was 3.5 hours at 24 ± 1 °C for 10 mg/L biosorbent dosage and initial metal ions concentration of 20 mg/L. Chemical treatment had a 10–17% biosorption efficiency enhancement for Cd2+ ions and a 1.6–2.3% reduction effect for Pb2+ ions. The sorption capacities for Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions for treated biosorbents were 1.760–1.738 mg g−1 compared to 1.415–1.539 mg g−1 for untreated materials. The pseudo second-order model suitably fitted the Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions biosorption data with regression coefficients (R2) of 0.9784–0.9999. Fitting of the Ho model to the experimental data showed that the biosorption mechanism for both metal ions studied was mainly a chemisorption process. Therefore, treated A. coriaria, E. abyssinica and Musa spp. were potential biosorbents for remediation of Cd2+ ions and the untreated materials suitable for removing Pb2+ ions from contaminated aqueous media.

The comparative adsorption capacity of graphene aerogel and activated coconut carbon in the process of removing the main cationic synthetic dye, methylene blue (MB), from aqueous solutions with an initial concentration of 150 mg/l was investigated. The characteristics of the new material have been determined using scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and Raman spectroscopy. The values of the adsorption capacity of graphene aerogel – 420 mg/g and activated carbon – 205 mg/g were established. The saturation time in the presence of graphene aerogel was 7 min. The experimental data were processed using kinetic models – pseudo-first and pseudo-second order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion. According to the results obtained, graphene aerogel is a promising sorption material in the extraction of molecular organic pollutants, namely, synthetic dyes, demonstrating a high efficiency of the target pollutant removal.

A review of the literature data on the use of biomass components of apricot trees (Prunusarmeniaca) as a sorption material for the extraction of various pollutants from waste and natural waters is carried out. The parameters of the sorption interaction at which the highest degree of removal of pollutants is achieved are given. It has been shown that it is possible to increase the sorption capacity of apricot biomass components by modifying it with various chemical reagents. It has been determined that the most studied sorption material is the shell of apricot kernels. It is determined that the largest number of publications is devoted to the use of the latter as raw materials for the production of activated carbons. It was revealed that the surface area and the total pore volume of activated carbons from the kernels of apricot fruits depend on the modes of carbonization and activation of raw materials. It is shown that activated carbons are effective sorbents for removing various pollutants (metal ions, dyes, oil and oil products) from aqueous media. It was found that the adsorption isotherms of pollutants are most adequately described in most cases by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the kinetics of the process is most often described by the pseudo-second order model.
