Natural adsorbents as low-cost materials have been proved efficient for water remediation and have significant capacity for the removal of certain chemicals from wastewater. The present investigation aimed to use Citrullus colocynthis seeds (CCSs) and peels (CCPs) as an efficient natural adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution. The examined biosorbents were characterized using surface area analyzer (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to optimize the main factors influencing the biosorption process. The equilibrium data for the adsorption of MB by CCSs were best described by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Freundlich adsorption isotherms, while the equilibrium data for MB adsorption by CCPs were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Temkin isotherm. Under optimum conditions, the maximum biosorption capacity and removal efficiency were 18.832 mg g−1 and 98.00% for MB-CCSs and 4.480 mg g−1 and 91.43% for MB-CCPs. Kinetic studies revealed that MB adsorption onto CCSs obeys pseudo-first order kinetic model (K1 = 0.0274 min−1), while MB adsorption onto CCPs follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model (K2 = 0.0177 g mg−1 min−1). Thermodynamic studies revealed that the MB biosorption by CCSs was endothermic and a spontaneous process in nature associated with a rise in randomness, but the MB adsorption by CCPs was exothermic and a spontaneous process only at room temperature with a decline in disorder. Based on the obtained results, CCSs and CCPSs can be utilized as efficient, natural biosorbents, and CCSs is promising since it showed the highest removal percentage and adsorption capacity of MB dye.

Glucomannan/graphene oxide (GM/GO) hydrogel was synthesized by using calcium hydroxide as the crosslinker. The synthesized material was characterized by using IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and RAMAN technology. The composite hydrogel was used for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. The results showed that the GM/GO hydrogel had a porous structure and a high adsorption capacity toward methylene blue (MB). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could fit the rate equation of MB adsorption onto the GM/GO hydrogel. The adsorption of MB onto GM/GO hydrogel was a spontaneous process. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data indicated that equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum dye adsorption capacity was 198,69 mg.g-1. Moreover, the hydrogel was stable and easily recovered and adsorption capacity was around 97% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after being used five times.

Abstract In this work, sulfonated chitosan montmorillonite composite (S-CS-MT) beads were synthesized using a microwave irradiation method designed to have a better saving-time procedure. The potency of S-CS-MT as an adsorbent was assessed for the removal of cationic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The batch adsorption experiments indicated that MB adsorption onto S-CS-MT follows the Pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum extent obtained from the Langmuir isotherm model for MB adsorption was 188.2 mg g− 1 at 303 K. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption reaction is favorable and spontaneous. These findings indicated that montmorillonite chitosan grafted with the sulfonate group has the ability and efficacy as biohybrid adsorbent for the adsorption of cationic dyes.

AbstractMethylene blue (MB) removal using eco-friendly, cost-effective, and freely available Urtica was investigated. The morphology of the adsorbent surface and the nature of the possible Urtica and MB interactions were examined using SEM analysis and the FTIR technique, respectively. Various factors affecting MB adsorption such as adsorption time, initial MB concentration, temperature, and solution pH were investigated. The adsorption process was analysed using different kinetic models and isotherms. The results showed that the MB adsorption kinetic follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the isotherm data fit the Langmuir isotherm well. Thermodynamic parameters, such as ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°, were also evaluated, and the results indicated that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature. The MB adsorption capacity of Urtica was found to be as high as 101.01 mg g

Abstract. This study was focused on the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as a cationic dye on magnetite nanoparticles loaded with coffee (MNLC) and magnetite nanoparticles loaded with peanut husk (MNLPH) as naturally cheap sources of adsorbent. Coffee and Peanut husk were magnetically modified by contact with water-based magnetic fluid. These new type of magnetically natural materials can be easily separated by means of magnetic separators. They were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) instruments. Different parameters affecting MB removal efficiency such as contact time, pH of solution and amount of adsorbents were studied and optimized. Dye adsorption process was studied from both kinetic and equilibrium point. The studies of MB sorption kinetic showed rapid dynamic sorption with second-order kinetic model, suggesting chemisorption mechanism with R2 = 0.9988, qeq=10.28 mg g-1 and R2=0.9967, qeq=128.20 mg g-1, respectively. Equilibrium data were fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm more than Freundlich and Temkin isotherm. The modified adsorbents showed MB removal with 88.49 and 74.62 mg g-1 sorption capacity for MNLC and MNLPH, respectively. This study showed a simple, efficient and reliable method for removal of MB from aqueous solutions with MNLC and MNLPH as efficient adsorbents. Resumen.

El café y la cáscara de maní se modificaron magnéticamente por contacto con un fluido magnético a base de agua. Este nuevo tipo de materiales magnéticamente naturales se puede separar fácilmente mediante separadores magnéticos. Se caracterizaron con espectroscopia infrarroja de transformada de Fourier (FT-IR), difracción de rayos X en polvo (DRX) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM). Se estudiaron y optimizaron diferentes parámetros que afectan la eficiencia de eliminación de MB, como el tiempo de contacto, el pH de la solución y la cantidad de adsorbentes. Se estudió el proceso de adsorción de tinte desde el punto de equilibrio y cinético. Los estudios de cinética de absorción de MB mostraron una absorción dinámica rápida con un modelo cinético de segundo orden, lo que sugiere un mecanismo de quimiosorción con R2= 0.9988, qeq= 10.28 mg g-1 y R2= 0.9967, qeq= 128.20 mg g-1, respectivamente. Los datos de equilibrio se ajustaron bien a la isoterma de Langmuir más que a la isoterma de Freundlich y Temkin. Los adsorbentes modificados mostraron eliminación de MB con 88.49 y 74.62 mg g-1 de capacidad de absorción para MNLC y MNLPH, respectivamente. Este estudio mostró un método simple, eficiente y confiable para la eliminación de MB de soluciones acuosas con MNLC y MNLPH como adsorbentes eficientes.

Zero valent iron (ZVI) particles were embedded into porous materials to avoid aggregation and separation problems in the controlled synthesis process. To investigate the adsorption mechanism of crystal violet and methylene blue, activated carbon (AC) and AC-based ZVI extraction by solid-phase and liquid-phase reduced approaches was conducted. Characterization methods of specific surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffractograms (XRD) were used to elucidate the structure of adsorbents, and the adsorption capacities of crystal violet and methylene blue were obtained under experimental conditions of various pH values (2.0–10.0), adsorption times (0–72 h), and temperatures (30–50°C). The adsorption of crystal violet/methylene blue was controlled by both chemisorption and reduction. The adsorption processes were fitted to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and that of reduction kinetics was suitable to pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption of crystal violet and methylene blue was endothermic and spontaneous, and the adsorption isotherms fitted well to the Langmuir model. Different adsorption capacities of crystal violet and methylene blue on various adsorbents were found, indicating that both the properties of adsorbents (pore size, specific surface area, and chemical functional groups) and the structures of adsorbates had significant effect on the removal of dye molecules.

The magadiite–magnetite (MAG–Fe3O4) nanocomposite has great potential applications in the field of biomaterials research. It has been used as a novel magnetic sorbent, prepared by co-precipitation method. It has the dual advantage of having the magnetism of Fe3O4 and the high adsorption capacity of pure magadiite (MAG). MAG–Fe3O4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were deposited on the interlayer and surface of magadiite. MAG–Fe3O4 was treated as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption properties of MAG–Fe3O4 were investigated on methylene blue; however, the results showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 improved remarkably compared with MA and Fe3O4. The adsorption capacity of MAG–Fe3O4 and the removal ratio of methylene blue were 93.7 mg/g and 96.2%, respectively (at 25 °C for 60 min, pH = 7, methylene blue solution of 100 mg/L, and the adsorbent dosage 1 g/L). In this research, the adsorption experimental data were fitted and well described using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The research results further showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 was better than that of MAG and Fe3O4. Moreover, the adsorption behavior of MB on MAG–Fe3O4 was investigated to fit well in the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption kinetics. The authors also concluded that the isothermal adsorption was followed by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model; however, it was found that the adsorption of the MAG–Fe3O4 nanocomposite was a monolayer adsorption.

Electroplating industries in Madurai city produce approximately 49 000 L of wastewater and 1200 L of sludge every day revealing 687–5569 ppm of nickel (Ni) with other contaminants. Seventeen Ni-tolerant bacterial strains were isolated from nutrient-enriched effluents. Among them one hyper Ni accumulating strain was scored and identified as Bacillus cereus VP17 on the basis of morphology, biochemical tests, 16S rDNA gene sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. Equilibrium data of Ni(II) ions using the bacterium as sorbent at isothermal conditions (37 °C) and pH 6 were best adjusted by Langmuir (R2 = 0.6268) and Freundlich models (R2 = 0.9505). Experimental validation reveals Ni sorption takes place on a heterogeneous surface of the biosorbent, and predicted metal sorption capacity is 434 ppm. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted the biosorption kinetic data better than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9963 and 0.3625). Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies of the bacterial strain with and without Ni(II) ion reveals the biosorption mechanism. The results conclude possibilities of using B. cereus VP17 for Ni bioremediation.

In this study, novel chitosan-g-itaconic acid/bentonite (CTS-g-IA/BT) and chitosan/bentonite (CTS/BT) nanocomposites were synthesized for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The process was pH-sensitive and maximum sorption was obtained at pH 6 (CTS-g-IA/BT) and 7 (CTS/BT) in 76 h agitation time using 0.03 g of nanocomposites for 50 mL of MB solution. The results showed that in pH less than 6, the adsorption capacity of CTS-g-IA/BT nanocomposite due to the existence of IA monomer is less than that of CTS/BT nanocomposite. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of CTS-g-IA/BT revealed that both itaconic acid and BT present in the nanocomposite structure, and also the –OH groups of BT, –NH2 and –OH of CTS participated in nanocomposite formation. According to the FTIR results, a schematic diagram of the nanocomposite synthesis was presented. The kinetic results indicated that the adsorption of MB fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data followed Langmuir isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacity of 500 and 181.818 mg/g for CTS-g-IA/BT and CTS/BT nanocomposites, respectively. The negative values of Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0) and the positive values of ΔH0 confirmed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The positive values of ΔS0 suggested the randomness of adsorption at interface.

In this study, the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye using alginate-graft-poly (methyl methacrylate) beads was investigated. The effects of adsorption parameters namely initial pH and initial dye concentration were studied. The removal efficiency of the beads has been found to be dependent on initial dye concentration and initial pH. The experimental equilibrium data was fitted successfully to Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum monolayer coverage of 5.25 mg g−1 and adsorption kinetics data has been well fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The alginate based beads could be used as low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent for removal of trace amount of methylene blue from aqueous solution.
