Novel Cyanoguanidine-modified chitosan (CCs) adsorbent was successfully prepared via a four-step procedure; first by protection of the amino groups of chitosan, second by insertion of epoxide rings, third by opening the latter with cyanoguanidine, and fourth by restoring the amino groups through elimination of the protection. Its structure and morphology were checked using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The adsorption capacity of CCs for Congo Red (CR) dye was studied under various conditions. It decreased significantly with the increase in the solution pH value and dye concentration, while it increased with increasing temperature. The adsorption fitted to the pseudo-second order kinetic model and Elovich model. The intraparticle diffusion model showed that the adsorption involved a multi-step process. The isotherm of CR dye adsorption by CCs conforms to the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating the monolayer nature of adsorption. The maximum monolayer coverage capacity, qmax, was 666.67 mg g−1. Studying the thermodynamic showed that the adsorption was endothermic as illustrated from the positive value of enthalpy (34.49 kJ mol−1). According to the values of ΔG°, the adsorption process was spontaneous at all selected temperatures. The value of ΔS° showed an increase in randomness for the adsorption process. The value of activation energy was 2.47 kJ mol−1. The desorption percentage reached to 58% after 5 cycles. This proved that CCs is an efficient and a promising adsorbent for the removal of CR dye from its aqueous solution.

Novel Uracil-modified chitosan (UCs) adsorbent has successfully been synthesized through a four-step method during which the amino groups of chitosan have been protected, then epoxy nuclei have been incorporated, afterwards the latter have been opened using 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil, and finally the amino groups have been regained via removing the protection. Its structure was checked using FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. The adsorption capacity of UCs for anionic Congo Red (CR) dye was studied under various conditions. It decreased significantly with increasing the solution pH value and dye concentration, while increased with increasing temperature. The adsorption of UCs for CR dye at different temperatures, solution pH and dye concentrations fitted to the kinetic model of pseudo-second order and Elovich model. The intraparticle diffusion model showed that the adsorption process involves multi-step process. The isotherm of CR dye adsorption by UCs conforms to the Langmuir isotherm model indicating the monolayer nature of adsorption. The maximum monolayer coverage capacity, qmax, was 434.78 mg g−1. Studying the thermodynamic showed that the adsorption of CR dye onto UCs was endothermic as illustrated from the positive value of enthalpy (21.37 kJ mol−1). According to the values of ΔG°, the adsorption process was spontaneous at all selected temperatures. The value of ΔS° showed an increase in randomness for the adsorption of CR dye by UCs. The value of activation energy was 18.40 kJ mol−1.

Adsorption of Zn(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution were studied by using modified coir pith as an adsorbent. The extended adsorption conditions were investigated as a function of calcination temperature, contact time, adsorbent size, initial pH of solution and initial Zn(II) and Pb(II) concentrations. The adsorption capacity increased rapidly in first 5 minute and reached equilibrium in 120 minutes for Zn(II) and 10 minutes for Pb(II). In case of Zn(II); the results showed that the calcination temperature of modified coir pith above 600oC gave the higher adsorption capacity. The sizes of modified coir pith have no effect on the adsorption capacity. The adsorption capacity increased with increasing initial solution pH value. In case of Pb(II); the calcination temperature of modified coir pith showed no effect on the adsorption capacity. The sizes of modified coir pith showed a little effect on the adsorption capacity. The adsorption capacity increased with increasing of initial solution pH value up to pH of 3 and then stable. The results also corresponded with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and pseudo second order kinetic adsorption models. The modified coir pith gave a higher Zn(II) and Pb(II) adsorption capacity of 29.33 mg Zn(II)/g adsorbent and 36.50 mg Pb(II)/g adsorbent, respectively.

In the present study, adsorption of copper (II) ions from aqueous solution by Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon was investigated under batch mode. The influence of solution pH, sorbent dose, copper concentration, contact time and temperature was studied. The copper adsorption was favored with maximum adsorption at pH 6.5. Sorption equilibrium time was observed in 60 min. The equilibrium adsorption data were correlated with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Hurkins-Jura, Halsay, Radlich-Peterson, Jovanovic and BET isotherm models. The kinetics of the adsorption process was tested by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and Intra-particle diffusion models. It was shown that adsorption of copper could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), the enthalpy (ΔH0) and the entropy change of sorption (ΔS0) have also been evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic in nature. The results indicated that Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon can be used as an effective and low-cost adsorbent to remove copper (II) from aqueous solution.

Abstract Ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) functionalized graphene was synthesized from Nigerian coal using a chemical exfoliation method and the graphene was applied for the removal of Congo red dye from aqueous solutions. The synthesized coal graphene and the raw coal were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and Energy (SEM)–Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The SEM data revealed surface roughness which is enhanced in the prepared graphene while the EDX revealed an increase in carbon, the main constituent of graphene, from about 26% in the raw coal to about 80% in the prepared graphene. Various adsorption parameters, such as pH, contact time, concentration of Congo red and temperature, were varied for the removal of the dye using raw coal and the synthesized coal graphene. The Liu isotherm gave the best fit of the equilibrium data than the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The maximum adsorption capacities of the raw coal and synthesized coal graphene at 25 °C are 109.1 mg/g and 129.0 mg/g, respectively. The Avrami fractional order kinetic model was the best model for description of the kinetic data. The model had the lowest values of standard deviation than the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models. The adsorption process of the two materials occurred via two stages as proved by intraparticle diffusion model. The adsorption process of the Congo red removal was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic. The study conclusively revealed the graphene nanomaterial to be a viable adsorbent for textile wastewater treatment.

Purpose To treat water pollution, especially the contamination resulted from organic dyes has aroused significant attention around the world, this study aims to prepare the metal organic framework (MOF) materials hybridizing with poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) by means of a facile refluxing method and to systematically investigate adsorption performance for anionic dye Congo red as target molecule from aqueous solution. Design/methodology/approach The MOF materials hybridized by PPTA were fabricated by virtue of a facile refluxing method, characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and pore structure. Findings The results showed that pseudo-second-order kinetic model could better describe the adsorption process for all the four materials, whereas Elovich model also fitted the process for the hybrid materials with PPTA. Adsorption isotherm analyses indicated that Langmuir isotherm could be used to describe the adsorption process. Introduction of appropriate amount of PPTA could enhance the adsorption affinity of the MOF materials for Congo red, and the maximum adsorption capacity could reach as high as 1,053.41 mg/g while that of the MOF material without PPTA was 666.67 mg/g, indicating introduction of PPTA could change the microenvironment of the MOF materials and increase the adsorption sites, leading to high adsorption efficiency. Research limitations/implications The microstructure of MOF hybridized materials in detail is the further and future investigation. Practical implications This study will provide a method to prepare MOF materials with high efficiency to treat anionic dyes like Congo red from aqueous solution. Originality/value Owing to the special characteristics of PPTA and similar to carbon tube, PPTA was introduced into MOF material to increased corresponding water stability. Because of aromatic ring and amide group on the surface of PPTA, the adsorption efficiency of the hybridized MOF material with appropriate amount of PPTA was greatly enhanced.

Abstract Industrial wastewaters laden with toxic dyes are required to be treated prior to their disposal in view of their adverse effect on human health and aquatic ecosystem. Thus in this research, CaFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared and used as adsorbent for elimination of reactive orange 12 dye (RO12) from aqueous medium. The CaFe2O4 nanoparticles exhibit specific surface area of ∼230 m2/g and average pore diameter of ∼2.5 nm. Maximum RO12 removal of 77% was observed at solution pH 2.0 with uptake capacity of 276.92 mg/g. The electrostatic interaction between CaFe2O4 nanoparticles and RO12 was the main driving force behind this adsorption. The kinetic modeling reveal that this adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately (R2: 0.988–0.994) indicating the chemisorption behavior. The adsorption experimental data firmly followed the Langmuir isotherm model (R2: 0.997), confirming the monolayer adsorption. Thermodynamic study suggests that the adsorption process is spontaneous (ΔG0 = −8.76 to −3.19 kJ/mol) and exothermic in nature (ΔH0 = –71.86 kJ). A neural network model (optimum topology of 4–7–1) was developed for precise forecasting of RO12 removal (%). The developed model with very high correlation coefficient (0.986) and very low mean squared error (0.00185) was successful for accurate prediction of experimental data.

The prospective of maize cob powder (MCP) as an effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green (MG) and congo red (CR) dyes from aqueous solution was investigated. The presence of functional groups and pores on maize cob powder were confirmed by FTIR and SEM analysis. Batch adsorption studies were conducted and various parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, pH and temperature were examined to observe their effects in the dyes adsorption process. The optimum conditions for the adsorption of MG and CR onto the adsorbent (MCP) was found to be: contact time (60mins), pH (10.0) and temperature (303 K), adsorbent dose (1 g) for an initial MG dye concentration of 50 mg/L and contact time (80mins), pH (2.0) and temperature (343 K) for an initial CR dye concentration of 50 mg/L and adsorbent dose 1.0 g respectively. The experimental equilibrium adsorption data fitted best and well to the Freundlich isotherm model for CR dye adsorption and Langmuir Isotherm for MG adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 13.02 mg/g and 9.41 mg/g for the adsorption of MG and CR dyes respectively. The kinetic data conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic quantities such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), enthalpy (ΔH0) and entropy (ΔS0) were evaluated and the negative values of ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0 obtained indicated the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the MG adsorption process while positive enthalpy (ΔH0) indicated an endothermic nature of CR adsorption process.

A novel adsorbent which is effective to adsorb Au3+ was prepared using immobilized persimmon tannin (PT) on collagen fiber by glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The adsorption behaviour of this new adsorbent to Au3+ in aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various factors such as initial solution pH, temperature, ionic strength and initial concentration of Au3+ on the influence of the adsorption process were studied. The equilibrium adsorption capacity reached 2347 mg/g at 323 K and pH value 2.0 when the initial concentration of Au3+ in aqueous solution was 500 mg/L. The immobilized PT was characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The results indicated that Au3+ changed to gold by oxidation adjacent phenol hydroxyl groups of persimmon tannin. Experiments also showed that adsorption isotherms of immobilized tannin for Au3+ could be described by Langmuir models. Immobilized PT adsorption provided a new way for the separation of the precious metal ions

A report on the synthesis and characterization of nanoscale zero-valent iron in the presence of natural zeolite as a stabilizer is presented. This novel adsorbent (Ze-nZVI) was synthesized by the sodium borohydride reduction method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that the stabilized nZVI particles were uniformly dispersed across the zeolite surface without obvious aggregation. The synthesized Ze-nZVI material was then tested for the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution. The effect of various parameters on the removal process, such as initial concentration of nitrate, contact time, initial pH, and Ze-nZVI dosage, was studied. Batch experiments revealed that the supported nZVI materials generally have great flexibility and high activity for nitrate removal from aqueous solution. The nitrogen mass balance calculation showed that ammonium was the major product of nitrate reduction by Ze-nZVI (more than 84% of the nitrate reduced); subsequently the natural zeolite in Ze-nZVI removed it completely via adsorption. The kinetic experiments indicated that the removal of nitrate followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The removal efficiency for nitrate decreased continuously with an increase in the initial solution pH value and Ze-nZVI dosage but increased with the increase in the initial concentration of nitrate. The overall results indicated the potential efficacy of Ze-nZVI for environmental remediation application.
