The paper summarized the literature data on using ground peels, outer leaves, and garlic roots (Allium sativum L.) as sorption materials to remove various metal ions, dyes, and antibiotics from aqueous media. This paper provides brief information on the amount of waste generated from processing garlic, its chemical composition, and ways of reuse. It gives the adsorption processes parameters and the values of sorption parameters for the studied pollutants. It was shown that garlic residue sorption characteristics for various pollutants could be increased by chemical modification with various chemical reagents. It was determined that the Langmuir model more accurately describes the pollutant’s adsorption isotherms in most cases, and the kinetics of the process more accurately describes the pseudo-second-order model. It was shown that garlic peels and steam are good precursors for activated carbons production.

The literature data on the crushed walnut shells usageas a sorption material for metal ions, dyes and some organic compounds removal from aqueous media are summarized. Trees of the Juglans regia species are widespread in Russia; their shells are natural annually replenished material that is of industrial importance and can be used as sorption material for the extraction of many pollutants from aquatic environments. The paper gives a characteristic of the walnut shell, shows the indicators of the main substances that make up the shell (cellulose, lignin, hemicellululose), indicates the approximate specific surface area for BET and the content of functional groups. The results of studies of the adsorption of metal ions and and some dyes adsorption by walnut shellsare considered. The values of sorption indices for the studied pollutants are given. It is shown that it is possible to increase the sorption characteristics by chemical modification of the Juglans regia shell. It is determined that sorption isotherms in most cases are more fully described by the Langmuir model, and the process kinetics in all cases obeys the pseudo-second order model.

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.

Dry waters with an average diameter of 82 μm were prepared by a high speed mixed route. The formaldehyde absorption kinetics of dry waters was investigated by simulating indoor formaldehyde pollution in glass chamber. The results showed that pseudo-second order model could be used to simulate the adsorption process; the adsorption rate was highest in the initial 60 minutes; when the adsorption lasted for 180 minutes, the adsorption reached equilibrium.

Abstract It is of great significance to remove Cr(VI) from water as a result of its high toxicity. Biochar from corn straw was modified by different acids (HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4) to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. To estimate the removal mechanisms of Cr(VI) by the acid-modified biochars, batch experiments were performed in the light of contact time, Cr(VI) concentration, and pH, and the characteristics of acid-modified biochars before and after Cr(VI) adsorption were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) by acid-modified biochars were consistent with the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherm obeyed the Freundlich model. Furthermore, the acid- modified biochars could supply more oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH and -OH) as electron donor (e−) and hydrogen ion (H+) to enhance the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), resulting in enhanced removal of Cr(VI). HNO3-modified biochar exhibited the highest removal efficiency of Cr(VI). In general, the acid modifition of biochar was an effective method to increase the removal of Cr(VI).

Kinetics of scandium recovery by TVEX containing tributyl phosphate was studied from the clarified leaching solution of salt chlorinator cake. To assess the contribution of each diffusion phase, experimental data were analyzed using a graphic method. To define the contribution of chemical interaction into the scandium extraction process, recovery kinetics was quantitatively described using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order kinetic models and Elovich equation in linearized form. It was established that recovery kinetics was most accurately described with the pseudo-second-order model.

Activated carbons (ACs) based on apricot shells (AS), wood (W), and walnut shells (WS) were applied to adsorb atrazine in co-solutions. To study the effect of Bisphenol A (BPA) on the adsorption behavior of atrazine, the adsorption performance of ACs for BPA in single solution was studied. The results demonstrated that the adsorption kinetics of BPA fitted the pseudo-second-order model, the adsorption isotherms of BPA followed the Langmuir model. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics of atrazine fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the isotherm was consistent with the Freundlich model both in single solution and co-solution. In addition, competitive adsorption was observed when atrazine coexisted with BPA or humic acid. For the adsorption capacity, the adsorption amount of ASAC, WAC, and WSAC for atrazine obviously decreased by 18.0%, 30.0%, and 30.3% in the presence of BPA, respectively, which was due to the π−π interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and H-bonds, resulting in the competitive adsorption between atrazine and BPA. This study contributes to the further understanding of the adsorption behavior for atrazine in co-solution.

ABSTRACTThe intra-particle diffusion model (IPD), proposed by Weber and Morris has been applied to the analysis of the kinetics of adsorption on activated carbon fibers with phosphate groups in the removal of cadmium ions in aqueous media. It is evident that the removal of cadmium ion kinetic model of pseudo-second order provides a better fit than the model of pseudo-first order and the intra-particle diffusion model provides the best to the sample compared activating solution: grams fibers of 1:3.

Chitosan was crosslinked using epichlorohydrin as crosslinking agent to prepare crosslinked chitosan which was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption prosperities of Zn(II) on crosslinked chitosan were studied, including the influence of pH value and the adsorption kinetics. The kinetics of adsorption was discussed using two kinetic models, the pseudo first-order and the pseudo second-order model. Results reveal that the crosslinked chitosan is suitable as adsorbent to remove Zn(II) from dilute solution. The rate parameters for the Zn(II) by crosslinked chitosan were also determined. It was shown that the adsorption kinetics of Zn(II) could be best described by the pseudo second-order model and the adsorption process may involve a physical adsorption.
