The expanding amount of remaining drug substances in wastewater adversely affects both the climate and human well-being. In the current investigation, we developed new cellulose acetic acid derivation/zeolite fiber as an effective technique to eliminate erythromycin (ERY) from wastewater. The number of interchangeable sites in the adsorbent structures and the ratio of ERY to the three adsorbents were identified as the main reasons for the reduction in adsorption as the initial ERY concentrations increased. Additionally, for all adsorbents, the pseudo–second-order modeling showed better fitting for the adsorption than the pseudo–first-order modeling. However, the findings obtained in the pseudo–first-order model were still enough for explaining the sorption kinetics of ERY, showing that the surface displayed all chemisorption and physi-sorption adsorption processes by both adsorbents. The R2 for the second order was very close to 1 for the three adsorbents in the case of pseudo–second-order. The adsorption capacity reached 17.76 mg/g. The three adsorbents showed negative values of ΔH, and these values were −6,200, −8,500, and −9600 kJ/mol for zeolite, CA, and ZCA, respectively, and this shows that the adsorption is exothermic. The desorption analysis shows no substantial loss of adsorption site after three trials, indicating higher stability and resilience of the three adsorbents, indicating a strong repeatability of their possible use in adsorption without contaminating the environment. In addition, the chemical attitude and possible donor–acceptor interactions of ERY were assessed by the quantum chemical parameters (QCPs) and NBO analysis performed, at the HF/6-311G** calculations.

Abstract Our recently tailored and fully characterized poly (AN)-starch nanoparticle graft copolymer having 60.1 G.Y. % was used as a starting substrate for copper ions removal from waste water effluent after chemical modification with hydroxyl amine via oximation reaction. This was done to change the abundant nitrile groups in the above copolymer into amidoxime one and the resultant poly (amidoxime) resin was used as adsorbent for copper ions. The resin was characterized qualitatively via rapid vanadium ion test and instrumentally by FT-IR spectra and SEM morphological analysis to confirm the presence of amidoxime groups. The adsorption capacity of the resin was done using the batch technique, whereas the residual copper ions content in the filtrate before and after adsorption was measured using atomic adsorption spectrometry. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity of poly (amidoxime) resin was 115.2 mg/g at pH 7, 400ppm copper ions concentration and 0.25 g adsorbent at room temperature. The adsorption, kinetics and isothermal study of the process is scrutinized using different variables, such as pH, contact time, copper ion concentration and adsorbent dosage. Different kinetics models comprising the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order have been applied to the experimental data to envisage the adsorption kinetics. It was found from kinetic study that pseudo-second-order rate equation was better than pseudo-first-order supporting the formation of chemisorption process. While, in case of isothermal study, the examination of calculated correlation coefficient (R2) values showed that the Langmuir model provide the best fit to experimental data than Freundlich one.

The objective of this study was to investigate the biosorption of Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution by calcium alginate beads. The effects of solution pH, contact time and initial metal ion concentration were evaluated. The results showed that maximum Cu (II) removal (93.10%) occurred at pH of 9.0, contact time of 120 minutes and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L while that of Ni (II) was 94.6%, which was achieved at pH of 8.0, contact time of 120 minutes and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L. The equilibrium data fitted well to the Langmuir Isotherm indicating that the process is a monolayer adsorption. The coefficients of determination, R2, values for the Langmuir Isotherm were 0.9799 and 0.9822 respectively for Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions. The values of the maximum biosorption capacity, Qo, were 10.79 and 6.25 mgg-1 respectively. The kinetic data also revealed that the sorption process could best be described by the pseudo – second order kinetic model. The R2 values for the pseudo – second order kinetic plots for Cu (II) and Ni (II) were 0.9988 and 0.9969 respectively. These values were higher than those for the pseudo – first order plots. The values of the biosorption capacity qe obtained from the pseudo – second order plots were very close to the experimental values of qe indicating that the biosorption process follows the second order kinetics. This study has therefore shown that calcium alginate beads can be used for the removal of Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions from wastewaters.

Abstract This study emphasizes rapid and simultaneous adsorptive removal of estrogenic hormones (EHs): estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), and estriol (E3) from wastewater using recycled waste cigarette electrospun nanofibers (WCENFs). The nanofibers exhibited a small diameter (196±65 nm) and large surface area (18.05 m 2 /g), along with a strong affinity towards all EHs by adsorption due to abundant hydrogen bonding interactions. A one-step high-performance liquid chromatography technique was developed to detect each EH present in the solution simultaneously. The adsorption kinetics helps select optimum conditions for the large-scale removal process, so experimental data using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, Elovich, and fractional power models were fitted. It was found that E1, E2, and EE2 followed pseudo-second-order kinetics while E3 followed pseudo-first-order kinetic models. The total adsorption capacity on WCENFs was determined to be 2.14 mg/g, whereas the individual adsorption capacities of E1, E2, EE2, and E3 were found to be 0.551, 0.532, 0.687, and 0.369 mg/g, respectively. The percentage efficiency of WCENFs was highest with EE2 ~64.3% and least with E3 ~34.6%. Adsorption-desorption studies revealed that WCENFs could repeatedly be used four times. The reported results indicate a significant potential of WCENFs to be an effective sorbent and portable filter for simultaneous estrogenic hormone removal. WCENFs filter is a suitable alternative to commercial Cellulose acetate filters.

Biosorption of lignin compounds by the Eichhornia crassipes was investigated in batch studies. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of initial sorbent dosage, solution pH and lignin compounds concentration. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were used to represent the equilibrium data. The Freundlich isotherm model was found to be fitted very well with the experimental data when compared to Langmuir isotherm model. The results showed that the equilibrium uptake capacity was found to be increased with decrease in biomass dosage. The lignin compound removal was influenced by the initial lignin compounds concentration. The sorption results were analysed for pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic model. It was observed that the kinetic data fitted very well with the pseudo second order rate equation when compared to the pseudo first order rate equation. Sorption results were analyzed for the intra particle diffusion model.

Abstract This study focuses on characterizing the adsorption kinetics of sex hormones (estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, and estriol) on electrospun nanofibrous polymeric nanostructures based on cellulose acetate, polyamide, polyethersulfone, polyurethane, and polyacrylonitrile. The materials’ structure possessed fibers of average diameter in the range 174-330 nm, while its specific surface area equaled 10.2 to 20.9 m2/g. The adsorption-desorption process was investigated in four cycles to determine the reusability of the sorption systems. A one-step high-performance liquid chromatography technique was developed to detect concurrently each hormone present in the solution. Experimental data was applied to gauge adsorption kinetics with the aid of pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models; findings showed that estrone, estradiol, and ethinylestradiol followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, while estriol followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. It was observed that polyurethane had maximum adsorption capacities of 0.801, 0.590, 0.736, and 0.382 mg/g for estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, and estriol, respectively. The results revealed that polyurethane had the highest percentage efficiency of estrogens removal at ~58.9% and lowest for polyacrylonitrile at ~35.1%. Consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles demonstrated that polyurethane maintained high efficiency, even after being used four times compared with the other polymers. The findings indicate the studied nanostructures have the potential to be effective sorbents for eradicating these estrogens concurrently from the environment.

In this paper, the adsorption properties of TNT on Rice husk active carbon (RHAC) were investigated. The effects of contact time was examined. Kinetic data obtained at different concentrations were conducted using Lagergren’s pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and diffusion models. The regression results showed that the adsorption kinetics was more accurately represented by pseudo second-order model. The study indicates that there is significant potential for RHAC as an adsorbent material for TNT removal from wastewater.
