In this study, cellulose-based derivatives with heterocyclic moieties were synthesized by reacting cellulose with furan-2-carbonyl chloride (Cell-F) and pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl dichloride (Cell-P). The derivatives were evaluated as adsorbents for the pesticide tetraconazole from aqueous solution. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by SEM, TGA, IR, and H1 NMR instruments. To maximize the adsorption efficiency of tetraconazole, the optimum conditions of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration of adsorbate were determined. The highest removal percentage of tetraconazole from water was 98.51% and 95% using Cell-F and Cell-P, respectively. Underivatized nanocellulose was also evaluated as an adsorbent for tetraconazole for comparison purpose, and it showed a removal efficiency of about 91.73%. The best equilibrium adsorption isotherm model of each process was investigated based on the experimental and calculated R2 values of Freundlich and Langmuir models. The adsorption kinetics were also investigated using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle-diffusion adsorption kinetic models. The Van’t Hoff plot was also studied for each adsorption to determine the changes in adsorption enthalpy (∆H), Gibbs free energy (∆G), and entropy (∆S). The obtained results showed that adsorption by Cell-F and Cell-P follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the mechanism follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic adsorption model. The obtained negative values of the thermodynamic parameter ∆G (−4.693, −4.792, −5.549 kJ) for nanocellulose, Cell-F, and Cell-P, respectively, indicate a spontaneous adsorption process. Cell-F and Cell-P could be promising absorbents on a commercial scale for tetraconazole and other pesticides.

AbstractWe report the preparation and employability of carbon-coated Fe3O4(Fe3O4/C) microspheres functionalized with chloroacetic acid (CAA) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The prepared magnetic microspheres (Fe3O4/C-CAA) were characterized by the following techniques: X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, vibrating sample magnetometry, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The characterization results showed that Fe3O4/C microspheres were modified by CAA without any phase change. Fe3O4/C-CAA microspheres have higher adsorption capacity for MB compared to Fe3O4/C microspheres. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms, and the Langmuir adsorption model fitted well with the equilibrium data. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetics data. However, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted better with the adsorption kinetics data.

In this study, the biosorption of Malachite Green, a cationic dye from aqueous solution onto pretreated biomass of Penicilium sp. was examined. The biosorption studies were carried out under various parameters such as initial pH, contact time and initial dye concentration. The experimental results show that optimum pH for efficient dye biosorption was found to be 5.0-6.0 for pretreated biomass. The bosorption capacity was increased with the increasing initial dye concentration in studied dye concentration range. The kinetic data obtained at different concentrations were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion models. It was obtained that the biosorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

The adsorption of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solution was studied using pure and carbonized fluted pumpkin waste biomass (FPWB). The kinetic data shows a pseudo-first-order mechanism with rate constants of 1.26 × 10-2 and 1.933 × 10-2 mg g-1 min-1 for the pure and carbonized FPWB, respectively. While the pseudo-second-order mechanism has rate constants of 0.93 × 10-1 and 1.33 × 10-1 mg g-1 min-1 for the pure and carbonized waste biomass respectively. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was found to be more suitable for describing the experimental data based on the correlation coefficient values (R2) of 0.9975 and 0.9994 obtained for pure waste biomass (PWB) and carbonized waste biomass (CWB), respectively. The results obtained from this study show that PWB and CWB have very high removal capacity for chromium (VI) from aqueous solution over a range of reaction conditions. Thus, fluted pumpkin waste biomass (Telfairia occidentalis Hook F) is a potential sorbent for the treatment of industrial effluents containing chromium (VI) contaminant.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v27i1.6436 J.

The batch removal of Ni2+from aqueous solution and wastewater using marine dried (MD) red algaeGracilariaand its activated carbon (AC) was studied. For these experiments, adsorption of Ni2+was used to form two biomasses of AC and MD. Both methods used different pH values, biomass and initial concentration of Ni2+. Subsequently adsorption models and kinetic studies were carried out. The maximum efficiencies of Ni2+removal were 83.55% and 99.04% for MD and AC respectively developed from it. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir adsorption model. The nickel(II) uptake by the biosorbents was best described by pseudo-second order rate model. The kinetic studies showed that the heavy metal uptake was observed more rapidly by the AC with compared to MD. AC method developed from MD biomass exhibited higher biosorption capacity. Adsorption capacity is related to the pH of solution, pH 5.0 is optimal for nickel. The maximum efficiencies of Ni2+removal were for AC method. The capacity is related to the pH of solution, pH 5.0 is optimal for nickel. The equilibrium adsorption data are correlated by Langmuir isotherm equation. The adsorption kinetic data can be described by the second order kinetic models

Abstract Background Water contamination has increasingly become a significant problem affecting the welfare of living organisms perceived to be aquatic beneficiaries. The nature and origin of the contaminant always determines the purification techniques. The most common contaminants in wastewater include organic compounds such as dyes that must be eliminated to enhance water purity and safety.Result The results indicate that the removal of DY50 by the modified chitosan was affected by the solution pH, sorbent dosage, initial DY50 concentration, contact time, and temperature. The experimental data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms, and Langmuir isotherm showed the best fit. The kinetic data were fitted to the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate equations. The removal rate was 97.9% by chemisorption components after the three hours at about 0.05 g of sorbent dose and 100 ppm of the Direct Yellow 50 dye initial concentration. The adsorption behavior of the modified chitosan for the removal of DY50 was well-described using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, Intraparticle diffusion analysis was also conducted. The thermodynamic properties such as free energy (∆G), enthalpy (∆H), and entropy (∆S), in addition to the intra-particle diffusion rate were similarly defined.Conclusion The pH, initial DY50 concentration, sorbent dosage, adsorption temperature, and contact time had a significant effect on the adsorption of DY50 by chitosan-iso-vanillin.

Heavy metals are soluble in the environment and can be dangerous for many species. So, removal of heavy metals from the water and wastewater is an important process. In this study, an adsorbent made of eggshell powder was employed to remove cadmium ions from aqueous solution. A number of parameters were studied including pH of the aqueous solution, adsorbent dosage, contact time, the initial concentration of cadmium ion and mixing rate. The best efficiency for the removal of Cd(II) was obtained 96% using this adsorbent. The optimal parameters were ambient temperature of 30 °C, mixing rate of 200 rpm, pH of 9, an adsorbent dosage of 5 g/L and initial concentration of cadmium was 200 ppm. In order to study the kinetics of adsorbent, the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and intra-particle diffusion model were applied. According to the pre-determined correlation coefficients (R2), the pseudo-second-order kinetic model showed a better correlation between the kinetic behaviors of the adsorbent. Furthermore, to study the equilibrium behavior of adsorbent, Langmuir and Freundlich models used and both models showed high efficiency in isotherm behavior of the adsorbent. So, this adsorbent can be used as a natural and cheap adsorbent.

Background: Region-based solutions for water cleaning could be critical to tackle the water challenges faced in enhancing the in the future. Brazilian Primavera clay is cheap, abundant, and an untested material that has the potential to be used for water cleaning. Objective: the objective of the present work was to thermally activate and characterize the Brazilian clay and then determine the potential to remove Cd2+ from an aqueous solution. Methods: Primavera clay was thermally activated at 300 oC and characterized using X ray diffraction, X-ray Spectroscopy Energy Dispersive, and N2 adsorption. Sorption equilibrium was determined using the following experimental conditions: constant pH 4.5, 5 h, and 27 oC. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin isotherms models were applied in order to determine the efficiency of clay used as an adsorbent. Adsorption kinetics was analyzed using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Results: In this study, results revealed that even though the heat treatment did not cause profound alterations on the clay structure(smectite) and surface area (78 m2 /g), a pseudo-second-order kinetic constant of 0.5563 mg/g/min was found for the cadmium removal. Conclusion: The mathematical models of the Langmuir and Temkin showed a better fit to the experimental data. A high affinity between the cadmium and the thermally activated Primavera clay was found up to 88 % with removal efficiencies.

The objective of this research was to study the efficacy of the marine brown alga Sargassum glaucescens in batch removal of Zn(II) from wastewater and seawater. For these experiments, a dried biomass was used to adsorb Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of varying pH, biomass weight, retention time and initial concentration of Zn(II) were studied. The maximum efficiency of Zn(II) removal obtained was 90.00%. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to the Freundlich adsorption model. A pseudo-second-order model was found to offer the best analysis of Zn(II) uptake. Kinetic studies showed that a biomass formed of marine-dried S. glaucescens exhibited high biosorption capacity. A solution pH of 5.0 was found to be optimal for adsorption. Results showed that removal of Zn(II), increased to 90.00% with increasing contact time, increasing pH (to 5.0) and decreasing adsorbent amount. The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Therefore, brown algae Sargassum glaucescens was an economical adsorbent.

The biosorption characteristics of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution using black walnut (Juglans nigra) seed husk (WSH) biomass were investigated using batch adsorption techniques. The effects of pH, contact time, initial Pb (II) ion concentration, and temperature were studied. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data. It was found that the adsorption of Pb (II) ions onto WSH was best described by the Freundlich adsorption model. Biosorption kinetics data were tested using the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models, and it was observed that the kinetics data fitted the pseudo-second order model. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0), standard enthalpy change (ΔH0) and standard entropy change (ΔS0) were evaluated. The result showed that biosorption of Pb (II) ions onto WSH was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The FTIR study showed that the following functional groups: O-H, C = O, C-O, C-H and N-H were involved in binding Pb (II) ions to the biomass.
