In this experimental study, the use of 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF) organic compound as a grafting agent to chitosan natural polymer (CS) was examined. One optimized chitosan derivative was synthesized, and then tested (CS-HMF), in order to uptake nickel, mercury, and barium metal ions from single- and triple-component (multi-component) aqueous solutions. The characterization of the material before and after the metal uptake was achieved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ability of the adsorption of CS-HMF was tested at pH = 6. The adjusting of temperature from 25 to 65 °C caused the increase in the adsorption capacity. The equilibrium data were fitted to the models of Langmuir and Freundlich, while the data from kinetic experiments were fitted to pseudo-1st and pseudo-2nd order models. The best fitting was achieved for the Langmuir model (higher R2). The adsorption capacity for nickel, mercury, and barium removal at 25 °C (single component) was 147, 107, and 64 (mg/g), respectively. However, the total adsorption capacity for the multi-component was 204 mg/g. A thermodynamic study was also done, and the values of ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0 were evaluated.

This work investigates the application of 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF) as a grafting agent to chitosan (CS). The material produced was further modified by cross-linking. Three different derivatives were tested with molecular ratios CS/HMF of 1:1 (CS-HMF1), 2:1 (CS-HMF2) and 10:1 mol/mol (CS-HMF3)) to remove Cu2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. CS-HMF derivatives were characterized both before, and after, metal ions adsorption by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The CS-HMF derivatives were tested at pH = 5 and showed higher adsorption capacity with the increase of temperature. Also, the equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir (best fitting) and Freundlich model, while the kinetic data to pseudo-first (best fitting) and pseudo-second order equations. The Langmuir model fitted better (higher R2) the equilibrium data than the Freundlich equation. By increasing the HMF grafting from 130% (CS-HMF1) to 310% (CS-HMF3), an increase of 24% (26 m/g) was observed for Cu2+ adsorption and 19% (20 mg/g) for Cd2+. By increasing from T = 25 to 65 °C, an increase of the adsorption capacity (metal uptake) was observed. Ten reuse cycles were successfully carried out without significant loss of adsorption ability. The reuse potential was higher of Cd2+, but more stable desorption reuse ability during all cycles for Cu2+.

Peanut hulls were modified chemically by esterification with citric acid under conditions which yielded hulls rich in carboxyl content. The esterified products thus obtained were used in the removal of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The factors affecting the esterification reaction and the adsorption of the metal cations onto the peanut hulls before and after esterification were thoroughly investigated. The results obtained highlighted the following conclusions. The optimum conditions for esterification involve the treatment of peanut hulls (1 g) with 12.4 mmol citric acid in the presence of a very small amount of water for 2 h at 140°C. Similarly, the optimum pH for the adsorption of cobalt(II) ions onto the peanut hulls citrate was 7.0. The adsorption capacity, qe (mg/g), of Co(II) ions onto the peanut hulls citrate increased on increasing the extent of esterification, expressed as mequiv. —COOH/100 g sample. The maximum values for the adsorption capacity, qmax, were 28.7 mg/g and 270.3 mg/g on native and peanut hulls citrate, respectively. The qmax values for of Ni(II) ion adsorption were 5 mg/g and 175.4 mg/g on native and peanut hulls citrate, respectively. The equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models and showed the large capacity of peanut hulls citrate in the removal of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions.

The factors influencing the cationization of microcrystalline cellulose with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl triethylammonium chloride in the presence of NaOH were investigated. The course of the reaction was followed by estimating the nitrogen content of the cationized product while its structural features were confirmed by IR analysis. The ability of cationized cellulose to adsorb anionic dyes, viz. Acid Orange 7, Direct Blue 75 and Direct Violet 31, was investigated at 25°C and 50°C. The equilibrium data obtained were fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, allowing the corresponding adsorption parameters to be determined. The results showed that the adsorption capacity was dependent on the adsorbent, temperature, the nature of the dye and (to some extent) on van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. Cationized cellulose exhibited a much better adsorption capacity towards anionic dyes than cellulose.

Biosorbents can be an alternative to activated carbon. They are derived from agricultural by-products or aquatic biomass. They are low cost and they may have comparable performances to those of activated carbon. The present study focuses on the characterization of the Corallina Elongata (CE) alga and its adsorption performance for Methylene Blue (MB), this alga is found in abundance at the Mediterranean coast of the city of Jijel in eastern Algeria. The dried alga was characterized using various characterization techniques such as DTA, TG, FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDX, which showed that the material consists essentially of a calcite containing magnesium. Batch adsorption studies were carried out and the effect of experimental parameters Such as pH, initial dye concentration, temperature, adsorbent dose and contact time, on the adsorption of MB was studied. The kinetic experimental data were found to conform to the pseudo-second-order model with good correlation and equilibrium data were best fitted to The Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 34.4 mg/g. The adsorption isotherms at various temperatures allowed the determination of certain thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS). Finally, the adsorption results showed a good affinity between CE and MB with a high adsorption capacity.

This work is focused on the removal of cobalt from aqueous solutions using the greenhouse crop residue and biochars resulting from its pyrolysis at different temperatures, which have not been previously used for this purpose. This study aims to provide insights into the effect of pyrolysis temperature as a key parameter on the cobalt adsorption capacity of these materials. Firstly, the main physicochemical properties of greenhouse crop residue and its biochars prepared under different pyrolysis temperatures were characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR, among others. Then, the cobalt adsorption capacity of materials was evaluated in batch systems. The best results were obtained for the biochar prepared by pyrolysis at 450 °C (adsorption capacity of 28 mg/g). Generally, the adsorption capacity of the materials increased with pyrolysis temperature. However, when the treatment temperature was increased up to 550 °C, a biochar with worse properties and behavior than cobalt adsorbent was produced. Rather than surface area and other physical properties, functional groups were found to influence cobalt adsorption onto the prepared materials. The adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The obtained equilibrium data were fitted better by the Langmuir model rather than the Freundlich model. Finally, decomposition of loaded-materials was analyzed to assess their possible recycling as fuel materials. The study suggested that greenhouse crop residue can be used as a low-cost alternative adsorbent for cobalt removal from aqueous solutions.

The adsorption behavior of congo red dye from its aqueous solutions was investigated onto natural and modified bauxite clays. Both bauxite and modified bauxite are primarily characterized by using, FTIR, SEM, AFM, and XRD. Several variables are studied as a function of adsorption including contact time, adsorbent weight, pH, ionic strength, particle size and temperature under batch adsorption technique. The absorbance of the solution before and after adsorption was measured spectrophotometrically. The equilibrium data fit with Langmuir model of adsorption and the linear regression coefficient R2 is found to be 0.9832 and 0.9630 for natural and modified bauxite respectively at 37.5°C which elucidate the best fitting isotherm model. The general shape of the adsorption isotherm of congo red on natural and modified bauxite is consistent with (H-type) on the Giles classification. Different thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy, enthalpy and entropy of the on-going adsorption process have also been evaluated. The thermodynamic analyses of the congo red adsorption on natural and modified bauxite indicate that the systems are endothermic in nature

"In this study, pristine cellulose was functionalized by the phosphorylation reaction to make it suitable for lithium separation. After characterization studies of the synthesized adsorbent with SEM, EDX, FTIR, TGA and XPS, the effects of various parameters on the lithium uptake capacity of the adsorbent were examined. The analysis of equilibrium data by several adsorption models showed that maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 9.60 mg/g at 25 °C by the Langmuir model. As initial concentration and contact time increased, adsorption capacity also increased, however, mild temperature (25-35 °C) and pH (5-6) were better for the adsorption of lithium. 80% of lithium adsorption within three minutes proved the fast kinetic nature of the adsorbent. A 99.5% desorption efficiency of lithium was achieved with 0.5 M H2SO4, among HCl and NaCl with different molarities. Phosphorylated cellulose was shown to be a favorable adsorbent for the recovery of lithium from aqueous solutions."

ABSTRACTIn this work the effect on the adsorption of Cr (VI) by thermally treated Hydrotalcite-like Material (HTM) synthesized by the sol-gel method with a Mg/Al = 2 was studied. The characterization of the HTM before and after Cr (VI) removal, as well as the kinetic studies were carried out. When the HTM are thermally treated at 350ºC the hydrotalcite crystalline structure remains and the textural properties improve. The Cr (VI) adsorption capacity of HTM was 125 mg of Cr (VI) / g of HTM. This capacity augments at 132 mg of Cr (VI) / g of HTM after heating HTM at 300°C. The crystallinity as well the porosity of the HTM diminished after adsorption of Cr (VI), due to the obstruction of both the pores and the interlayer space. The adsorption of Cr (VI) occurred before 4 minutes contact time. It can be concluded that HTM exhibits a high Cr (VI) adsorption capacity in a short time.
