The adsorption of levafix red (LR) dye from waste water via batch adsorption onto treated jute stick powder was investigated. Studies concerning the factors influencing the adsorption such as adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time and temperature were systematically investigated and discussed. The results revealed that the maximum removal of levafix red was ~91% from water. The kinetics data were analyzed using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models. It was best described by the pseudo-second order model. The adsorption equilibrium follows Langmuir isotherm. This result indicates that treated jute stick powder could be employed as low-cost alternatives to commercial activated carbon for the removal of levafix red (LR) from waste water. Rapid industrialization in Bangladesh has resulted in increased water pollution that has higher dye level. Waste water from dyeing and finishing factories is a significant source of environmental pollution. The waste water is typically characterized by high levels of COD (chemical oxygen demand) concentration, high concentration of coloring material, large amount of suspended solids, highly fluctuating pH and high temperature. Dyes may therefore present an ecotoxic hazard and introduces the potential danger of bioaccumulation that may eventually affect man by transport through the food chain. As pharmaceutical industries use lots of water and intake of this type of water might have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, water purification is extremely essential for human and animal health and dye free water may be farther purified for its proper use.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(1): 75-84, 2016

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.

Present investigation deals with the utilization of Bagasse fly ash (BFA) a sugar industry waste and Zeolitic material (MZBFA), synthesized from BFA by combined conventional and microwave reflux method as adsorbents for the extraction of Acephate (ACP), an organophosphorus pesticide from aqueous solution. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized using various techniques such as FTIR, PXRD and SEM. The effect of various experimental parameters has been investigated using a batch adsorption technique for the extraction of ACP. The extent of removal is increased with decrease in initial ACP concentration and particle size of the adsorbent. Adsorption was fast and the equilibrium was established within 90 min. Pseudo-first-order, Pseudo-second-order, Bangham and intra-particle particle diffusion models were used to fit the experimental data. Pseudo-second-order rate equation was able to provide realistic description of adsorption kinetics. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Tempkin isotherm equations. Langmuir equation was found to best represent the equilibrium data. The thermodynamic study showed that adsorption of ACP on MZBFA is higher than that on BFA. The results indicate that such Zeolitic material could be employed as low cost alternatives to Bagasse fly ash in wastewater treatment for the removal of pesticides.

This study was aimed at using Balanite aegyptiaca seed coats activated carbon (BAAC) as a potential adsorbent to remove safranin dye from aqueous solution. BAAC was prepared from Balanite aegyptiaca seed coats using a one-step procedure with 67.27% yield, 3.23% ash content, 695 m2/g surface area and 203 mg/g iodine number. The FTIR spectroscopy revealed O-H, N-H, C-H, C=C, C-O-H stretching vibrations. The influences of agitation time, initial dye concentration and adsorbent dose were studied in batch experiments at room temperature. The adsorptions were rapid at the first 15 minutes of agitation, with the uptake of 2.746 mg/kg. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved at 90 minutes of agitation. Kinetic studies showed good correlation coefficient for both pseudo-first order and pseudo-second-order kinetics model but fitted well into pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption data fitted well into Langmuir isotherm with correlation coefficient (R2) very close to unity and Langmuir maximum adsorption constant, qm  1.00. Thus, the fitting into Langmuir indicates monolayer coverage on the adsorbents. The results showed that BAAC has the potential to be applied as alternative low-cost adsorbents in the remediation of dye contamination in wastewater.

Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) contributes more than 50% of oil palm biomass wastes in Malaysia. This provides tremendous opportunities for value-added product generation from recycling and utilizing its latent capacity. In this work, the performance of physically-pretreated OPEFB fibers without any chemical treatment for Pb2+ removal from aqueous system was evaluated. Three different size ranges (1-5 cm, 0.5-2 mm and 0.005-0.02 mm) of raw sorbent, pH (4-10) and contact time (2-150 min) for Pb2+ batch adsorption were tested. The kinetic data were evaluated by the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion model. The experimental data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model with r2=0.997. Adsorption efficiency was size-dependent with about 38% sorption increase at 0.005-0.02 mm, and reached 94% efficiency, achieved 47.49 mg/g capacity with 500 ppm Pb2+ at pH 7.5, in 60 min. The eco-friendly, low cost sorbent can be applied as green, effective adsorbent in waste water remediation.

Adsorption of a textile reactive dye blue HE-3R was carried out with a low-cost adsorbent material i.e., Calendula officinalis. The batch adsorption experiment was done with respect to the effect of pH, concentration of dyes, adsorbent dose and contact time. All the experimental results were analyzed for the suitability of Isotherm models (Freundlich, Langmuir, Redlich-Peterson and Tempkin) and kinetic models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich). Adsorption process follows Redlich-Peterson isotherm and Pseudo-second order kinetics. The maximum adsorption quantity was found to be 17.85 mg g-1 for the adsorption of blue HE-3R on Calendula officinalis. The low temperature favours the adsorption process. The difference in the SEM image and changes in the group frequencies in FT-IR spectra supports the adsorption of Blue HE-3R on Calendula officinalis effectively.

This study investigated the potential of iron filings as low cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing Naphthol AS dye from aqueous solutions. The batch-adsorption experiments were performed as a function of pH, temperature, concentration, contact time as well as dynamics of the process. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Raduskevich isotherm models for the adsorption processes were tested but Freundlich isotherm provided the best description for adsorption of the dye solution onto the iron filings, suggesting a physisorption controlled adsorption. The adsorption process was highly pH-dependent and the result indicates that the optimum pH for adsorption of Naphthol AS onto the adsorbent occurred at 4.0 having a maximum removal efficiency of 88 % respectively. Pseudo first-order and second-order as well as the intra-particle diffusivity kinetic models were applied to the experimental data and results showed that the pseudo second-order provided best fit for the experimental data. Kinetic studies also showed that the adsorption transport mechanism was particle-diffusion controlled.

In this study, the biosorption potential of lumbang (Aleurites molucanna)-derived activated carbon towards Cd(II) in aqueous solution was investigated by coating and crosslinking the adsorbent with chitosan and epichlorohydrin, respectively. Batch adsorption studies were performed, and the effects of various parameters were evaluated. Results have shown that the optimum biosorption potential occurs at pH: 6.0, contact time: 45 min, temperature: 40°C, adsorbent dosage: 12 g/L, and initial Cd(II) concentration: 5 ppm. The biosorption kinetic profile obeyed the pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2=96.87%, p<0.001). Preliminary column study and waste water analysis revealed significant removal of Cd(II), with 89.59% and 49.08% of Cd(II) adsorbed and desorbed, respectively. There were significant reductions in the biochemical and chemical oxygen demand values of the waste water before and after passing through the column.

A low-cost adsorbent was prepared simply by phosphorylating bagasse. The materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). Batch adsorption studies were carried out for Cu (II) ions adsorption at different initial concentrations. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and the intra-particle diffusion models were used to analyze the kinetic data. The results revealed that the pseudo-second-order model generated the best agreement with the experiment data with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 for the adsorption systems. The mechanism of the Cu (II) ions adsorption by the phosphorylated bagasse was also discussed. The FT-IR results showed that the bagasse adsorbent has many different functional groups and these functional groups are able to react with Cu (II) ions in aqueous solution.

AbstractDeterioration in soil–water environment severely contributed by heavy metal bioavailability and mobility on soil surface and sub-surface due to irrational increase in wastewater discharge and agrochemical activities. Therefore, the feasibility of adsorption characteristics of the soil is paramount in curbing the problem of micropollutant contamination in the farming vicinity. Soil from a farming site in a populated area in Enugu, Nigeria was collected and tested to measure the lead and cadmium contents using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The adsorption potency of the ultisol soil was estimated for identifiable physicochemical properties by standard technique. The mean activity concentration of Pb2+ and Cd2+ was 15.68 mg/kg and 3.01 mg/kg. The pH, temperature, metal concentration and contact time adsorptive effect on the Pb2+ and Cd2+ uptake was evaluated by batch adsorption technique. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models were fitted into equilibrium adsorption data and the calculated results depict a better and satisfactory correlation for Langmuir with higher linear regression coefficients (Pb2+, 0.935 and Cd2+, 0.971). On the basis of sorption capacity mechanism of the soil, pseudo-second-order model best described the kinetics of both metal ions retention process. The results of the present study indicated that the soil being a low cost-effective adsorbent can be utilized to minimize the environmental risk impact of these metal ions.

Abstract The presence of heavy metals in water causes serious problems and their treatment before incorporating into the water body is a challenge for researchers. The present study was conducted to compare the sorption study of Ni (II) using silica gel, amberlite IR-120 and sawdust of mulberry wood in batch system under the influence of pH, initial Ni (II) concentration and contact time. It was observed that sorption process was depending upon pH and maximum sorption was achieved at pH 7.0. Kinetic data were well fitted into pseudo-second order kinetic model due to high R2 values and closeness of experimental sorption capacity and calculated sorption capacity of pseudo-second order. Isotherms study showed that Langmuir is one of the most suitable choices to explain sorption data due to high R2 values. The monolayer sorption capacities of silica gel, amberlite IR-120 and sawdust were found to be 33.33, 25.19, and 33.67 mg g−1, respectively. Desorption study revealed that NaCl is one of the most appropriate desorbent. It may be concluded from this study that sawdust is a suitable sorbent due to low cost, abundant availability and recycling of the materials for further study.
