This paper describes the physicochemical study of the adsorption of dysprosium (Dy3+) in aqueous solution onto two types of activated carbons synthesized from spent coffee ground. Potassium hydroxide (KOH)-activated carbon is a microporous material with a specific Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 2330 m2·g−1 and pores with a diameter of 3.2 nm. Carbon activated with water vapor and N2 is a solid mesoporous, with pores of 5.7 nm in diameter and a specific surface of 982 m2·g−1. A significant dependence of the adsorption capacity on the solution pH was found, but it does not significantly depend on the dysprosium concentration nor on the temperature. A maximum adsorption capacity of 31.26 mg·g−1 and 33.52 mg·g−1 for the chemically and physically activated carbons, respectively, were found. In both cases, the results obtained from adsorption isotherms and kinetic study were better a fit to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. In addition, thermodynamic results indicate that dysprosium adsorption onto both activated carbons is an exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable process.

Poly-γ-glutamate/apatite (PGA-AP) nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method in the presence of various concentrations of poly-γ-glutamate (γ-PGA). Powder X-ray diffraction pattern and energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed that the main crystal phase of PGA-AP was hydroxyapatite. The immobilization of γ-PGA on PGA-AP was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the relative amount of γ-PGA incorporation into PGA-AP was determined by thermal gravimetric analysis. Dynamic light scattering measurements indicated that the particle size of PGA-AP nanoparticles increased remarkably with the decrease of γ-PGA content. The adsorption of aqueous Cu(II) onto the PGA-AP nanoparticles was investigated in batch experiments with varying contact time, solution pH and temperature. Results illustrated that the adsorption of Cu(II) was very rapid during the initial adsorption period. The adsorption capacity of PGA-AP nanoparticles for Cu(II) was increased with the increase in the γ-PGA content, solution pH and temperature. At a pH of 6 and 60 °C, a higher equilibrium adsorption capacity of about 74.80 mg/g was obtained. The kinetic studies indicated that Cu(II) adsorption onto PGA-AP nanoparticles obeyed well the pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir isotherm model was fitted well to the adsorption equilibrium data. The results indicated that the adsorption behavior of PGA-AP nanoparticles for Cu(II) was mainly a monolayer chemical adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of PGA-AP nanoparticles was estimated to be 78.99 mg/g.

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.

Abstract A new biocomposite magnetic crosslinked glutaraldehyde-chitosan/MgO/Fe3O4 (CTS-GL/MgO/Fe3O4) adsorbent was prepared and applied for the removal of reactive blue 19 (RB 19) synthetic textile dye. The prepared CTS-GL/MgO/Fe3O4 was subjected to the several instrumental characterizations such as XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, pH-potentiometric titration, and pHpzc analyses. The influence of the input adsorption parameters such as A: CTS-GL/MgO/Fe3O4 dosage, B: initial solution pH, C: process temperature, and D: contact time on RB 19 removal efficiency was statistically optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates the presence of five significant statistical interactions between input adsorption parameters i.e. (AB, AC, AD, BC, and BD). The adsorption kinetic and equilibrium study reveals a good to the pseudo-second-order model, and multilayer adsorption as proven by Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of CTS-GL/MgO/Fe3O4 towards RB19 was found to be 193.2 mg/g at 45 ºC. This work highlights the development of feasible and recoverable magnetic biocompsite adsorbent with desirable adsorption capacity towards textile dyes with good separation ability by using an external magnetic field.

The removal of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater has attracted global concerns. In this study, polymer-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for MB removal, Fe3O4@SiO2-MPS-g-AA-AMPS (FSMAA), were successfully synthesized by grafting acrylic acid (AA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) on the surface of vinyl-modified Fe3O4@SiO2. With various characterization techniques, it was confirmed that the obtained FSMAA had a core–shell structure, a good magnetic property, and plenty of functional groups on its surface. MB adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption capacity of FSMAA was notably enhanced as the grafted monomer concentration and solution pH were increased. The adsorption kinetic data and isothermal data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of FSMAA was 421.9 mg g−1 with grafted monomer concentration at 2.0 mol L−1 and solution pH at 9, much higher than those of other adsorbents stated in previous literatures. Based on XPS analysis, surface adsorption mechanism between FSMAA and MB was electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interaction. Furthermore, FSMAA was effectively regenerated by acid pickling, and the remaining adsorption capacity was more than 60% after eight adsorption–regeneration cycles. All the results demonstrated the self-made FSMAA was a desirable adsorbent to remove MB from wastewater.

A magnetic iron oxide nanopowder (MnP), prepared by a simple and efficient combustion synthesis technique, was tested for the removal of the anionic dye Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution. The influence of solution pH, adsorbent dose, temperature, contact time and initial dye concentration on the adsorption of CR onto MnP were investigated. It was shown that the CR adsorption was pH dependent and the adsorption mechanism was governed by electrostatic forces. The adsorption kinetic was best described by the pseudo-second-order model and the equilibrium data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm, yielding maximum adsorption capacity of 54.46 mg g−1. The undeniable advantages of the MnP adsorbent such as inexpensive preparation method, good adsorption capacity and easy separation using an external magnetic field, recommend it as a promising candidate for the removal of anionic dyes from polluted water.

H3po4 Activation

Abstract Furfural residue (FR) is an inevitable by-product of industrial furfural production. If FR is not managed properly, it will result in environmental problems. In this study, FR was used as a novel precursor for activated carbon (AC) production by H3PO4 activation under different conditions. Under optimum conditions, the prepared FRAC had high BET surface area (1,316.7 m2/g) and micro-mesoporous structures. The prepared FRAC was then used for the adsorption of Cr(VI). The effect of solution pH, contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and temperature was systematically studied. Characterization of the adsorption process indicated that the experimental data were well-fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The maximum adsorption capacity of 454.6 mg/g was achieved at pH 2.0, which was highly comparable to the other ACs reported in the literatures. The preparation of FRAC using H3PO4 activation can make use of FR's characteristic acidity, which could make it preferable in practical industrial production.

Physical And Chemical

Dendrimers as commonly used metal ions adsorption materials have the advantages of good adsorption performance and high reuse rate, but the high cost limits its extensive use. Compared with dendrimers, hyperbranched dendrimers have similar physical and chemical properties and are more economical. Therefore, hyperbranched dendrimers are more suitable for industrial large-scale adsorption. The hyperbranched polyamidoamine (HPAMAM) gels were prepared by cross-linking hyperbranched polyamidoamine (HPAMAM-ECH-x and HPAMAM-EGDE-x) with different amounts of epichlorohydrin (ECH) and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE), respectively. The as-synthesized adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XPS. The prepared adsorbents were used to adsorb Hg(Ⅱ) in aqueous solution, and the effects of solution pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of metal ion on the adsorption capacity were investigated. The effect of solution pH indicated that the optimum condition to Hg(Ⅱ) removing was at pH 5.0. The adsorption kinetic curves of the two kinds of materials were in accordance with the pseudo-second-order model. For the HPAMAM-ECH samples, the adsorption thermodynamic curves fitted the Langmuir model, while for the HPAMAM-EGDE samples, both Langmuir and Freundlich equations fitted well. The maximum adsorption capacity of HPAMAM-ECH-3 obtained from Langmuir model toward Hg(Ⅱ) was 3.36 mmol/g at pH 5.0 and 35°C.

This study investigates the adsorption characteristics of As(V) onto the Fe-based backwashing sludge (FBBS), which was produced in the Fe(II) removal process. FBBS exhibits rough surfaces and shows high BET surface area of 148.41 m2/g. According to the results of EDS and XRD, the main constituents include sulfate inter-layered Fe hydroxide [Fe(SO4)OH], ferric oxhydroxide (γ-FeOOH), quartz (SiO2), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The adsorption kinetics data were well described by the Elovich model (r2 = 0.993), indicating the highly heterogeneous adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of As(V) increased from 40.04 to 88.76 mg/g as temperatures increased from 298 to 318 K, suggesting an endothermic process. The removal of As(V) was inhibited with elevated solution pH, especially from pH 7.0 to pH 10.0. Moreover, the removal of As(V) was enhanced with an increase in ion strength (0.01-1 M NaNO3), implying that the adsorption of As(V) was mainly through inner-sphere complexes mechanism.
