Due to its high oil content, the discharge of bilge water from ships is one of the most important pollutants in marine ecosystem. In this research, we investigated the treatment of bilge water for Haydarpasa Waste Collection Plant by Fenton oxidation followed by granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption. We applied the following optimum operational conditions for Fenton oxidation: [Fe2+]: 6 mM; [H2O2]: 30 mM; and the ratio of [Fe2+]/[H2O2]: 1/5. Adsorption was performed in the effluent sample of Fenton oxidation. The effects of different adsorption periods, adsorbent concentrations, temperature, and pH were examined. Additionally, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied. We obtained the following optimum operational conditions: 24 h, 2 g of GAC L−1, 20 °C, and pH = 6. We observed an 89.5 ± 1.9% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal efficiency under these conditions. Data generated from the experiments fit both isotherm models well, though we preferred the Langmuir isotherm model to the Freundlich isotherm model because the former’s regression coefficient (0.90) was larger than that reported for the Freundlich isotherm model (0.78). The potential to treat bilge water by Fenton oxidation followed by granular activated carbon is promising for the Haydarpasa Waste Collection Plant.

High amounts of ammonium (NH4+) discharged in receiving water can lead to eutrophication. The adsorption of NH4+ from synthetic solution onto granular activated carbon (GAC) was scrutinized with respect to initial solute concentration (10 mg L−1), solution volume (0.2 L), adsorbent dosage (4 – 20 g), and contact time. Experimental data can be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.994) and Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.936), suggesting that chemisorption and multilayer adsorption occurred. Furthermore, this study explored the feasibility of using the Freundlich isotherm model to estimate the removal efficiency or required amount of adsorbent. The result findings indicated that GAC has a good potential to adsorb NH4+ from water and thus giving new insights into environmental engineering practices.

We present the preparation and Cu(II) adsorption characteristics of a new and innovative composite which was composed of a carboxymethylated polyethyleneimine (CM-PEI) and an activated carbon with a nanopore less than 2 nm in diameter. In this study, we examined the adsorption phenomena of Cu(II) on the CM-PEI/F400 composite and evaluated the adsorption data using three kinds of isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms). It was found that the adsorption of Cu(II) on the CM-PEI/F400 composite obeys the Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, The Cu element mapping results showed that Cu was well distributed throughout all the surface of the composite particle, suggesting that the surface of the F400 particle was uniformly covered with CM-PEI.

Biosorption equilibrium and kinetics of Pb(II) and Hg(II) on coconut shell carbon (CSC) were investigated by batch equilibration method. The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of Pb(II) and Hg(II) on the activated carbon of coconut shell wastes were studied. Maximum adsorption of Pb(II) occurred at pH 4.5 and Hg(II) at pH 6. The sorptive mechanism followed the pseudo second order kinetics. The equilibrium data were analysed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. The equilibration data fitted well with both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model. The Langmuir adsorption capacity for Pb(II) was greater than Hg(II). The mean free energy of adsorption calculated from Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm model indicated that the adsorption of metal ions was found to be by chemical ion exchange. Thermodynamic parameter showed that the sorption process of Pb(II) onto SDC was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic under studied conditions. A comparison was evaluated for the two metals.

The purpose of this study was to compare the removal efficiencies of manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) using pristine banana peel biochar (BPB) and phosphoric acid pre-treated biochars (PBPB) derived from banana peels. The removal efficiencies of Mn and Fe were investigated under different adsorbent dosages (0.4–2 g L−1), temperatures (15–45 °C), and ionic strengths (0–0.1 M), and were directly correlated to the differences in physicochemical properties of BPB and PBPB, to identify the removal mechanisms of heavy metals by adsorption processes. The removal of Mn by PBPB obeyed the Freundlich isotherm model while the removal of Mn and Fe by BPB followed the Langmuir isotherm model. However, the removal of Fe by PBPB followed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The removal efficiencies of Mn and Fe by BPB and PBPB increased with increasing temperatures and decreased with increasing ionic strengths. PBPB more effectively removed Mn and Fe compared to BPB due to its higher content of oxygen-containing functional groups (O/C ratio of PBPB = 0.45; O/C ratio of BPB = 0.01), higher surface area (PBPB = 27.41 m2 g−1; BPB = 11.32 m2 g−1), and slightly greater pore volume (PBPB = 0.03 cm3 g−1; BPB = 0.027 cm3 g−1). These observations clearly show that phosphoric acid pre-treatment can improve the physicochemical properties of biochar prepared from banana peels, which is closely related to the removal of heavy metals by adsorption processes.

Abstract The process of manufacturing Sasirangan - a traditional fabric of South Kalimantan - has an impact that affects environmental pollution, namely the dyeing process of the fabric. The synthetic dyes used contain heavy metals and one of those toxic metals is copper (Cu). This study aims to determine the adsorption capacity of rice husk activated carbon adsorbent by adjusting the adsorption pattern based on isotherm models as the treatment to sasirangan liquid waste. The method consists of three stages: preparation of adsorbent by carbonization process, chemical and physical activation, then continued by adsorption process of Cu metal with carbon from rice husks with variations of adsorbent dose (2, 4, and 6 grams). This treatment was conducted by batch process. In this reseach, the adsorption capacity of rice husk adsorbent towards heavy metal Cu in sasirangan liquid waste was determined from the equilibrium state with the Langmuir isotherm equation and Freundlich isotherm equation. Based on isothermal studies of adsorption data, the correlation coefficient values obtained from the isotherm model approaches are: for dose of 2 grams adsorbent, Langmuir R2 = 0.9991 and Freundlich R2 = 0.9981; for dose of 4 grams adsorbent, Langmuir R2 = 0.9992 and Freundlich R2 = 0.9989; for dose of 6 grams adsorbent, Langmuir R2 = 0.9990 and Freundlich R2 = 0.9986. The results of investigation indicate that adsorption data correlated well with Langmuir isotherm model.

Abstract Adsorption was found to be an acceptable treatment option to remove geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB). It is meaningful to investigate the adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) for the two algal odorants in water, and the influences of natural organic material (NOM) and particle size. The adsorption process was studied with the four isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and modified Freundlich), four kinetic models (pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order, Elovich, and intra-particle), and thermodynamics. The results showed that the adsorption of both compounds could be best described by the modified Freundlich isotherm and pseudo second-order model, and the obtained thermodynamic parameters (changes in heat of adsorption, entropy, and Gibbs free energy) revealed that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous. Downsizing the particle size of GAC was effective for improving the adsorption capacity and rate. The concentrations of the two odorants could be reduced from 500 ng L−1 to less than 10 ng L−1 with the presence of NOM (<20 mg L−1 total organic carbon, TOC).

In this study, the adsorption of HF gas by three types of activated carbon has been investigated under vacuum condition. The effects of experimental parameters such as initial pressure of the HF gas, contact time and temperature on adsorption process have been investigated. The results showed that the adsorption of the HF gas onto activated carbon increased by increasing initial pressure of gas, while it decreased with increase in temperature. The Freundlich isotherm model fitted the equilibrium data better than the other isotherm models. Using Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacities of the first type, the second type and third type of activated carbon were 226.4, 268.8 and 258.9 mg/g, respectively. Experimental data were also evaluated in terms of kinetic characteristics of adsorption and it was found that the adsorption process followed well pseudo-second-order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters, the change of free energy (?G?), enthalpy (?H?) and entropy (?S?) of adsorption were calculated at the temperature range of 28-55?C. The results showed that the adsorption of HF on activated carbon is feasible, spontaneous and exothermic.

Dumpsite leachate has the potential to pollute ground and surface water as well as vegetation within the vicinity of the dumpsite.  Its treatment therefore needs adequate attention. The aim of this work is to study the adsorption of Soluos dumpsite leachate treatment using Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent with a view of establishing the adsorption isotherm model. Musa sapientum peels sourced from Ayetoro market in Epe area of Lagos State, Nigeria were used to prepare the adsorbent. Batch adsorption was carried out with various dosage of the prepared absorbent in leachate collected from Soluos dumpsite in Lagos. The adsorption data obtained were fitted into Linear, Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Hasley isotherm models. The results showed that the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the dumpsite leachate decreased as the adsorbent dosage increased. At adsorbent dosage of 10 g/L, the concentration of TDS in the leachate was 485.7 mg/L which was less than the 500 mg/L stipulated by National Environmental Standard and Regulatory Agency (NAESRA) for the discharge of wastewater. The coefficient of determination (R2) values for Linear, Freundlich and Hasley, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models were 0.9944, 0.9936, 0.8562 and 0.9723 respectively. Linear isotherm model was jettisoned because the plot did not pass through the origin and Freundlich isotherm model was ignored as a result of N value which was less than unity hence Hasley isotherm model was adopted in this work. A good correlation existed between the experimental and predicted values, having a R2 value of 0.9965 which further validated the Hasley isotherm model as the best adsorption model for the treatment of Soluos dumpsite leachate using Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent. It was concluded that Musa sapientum peel as biosorbent can be used for treatment of Soluos dumpsite leachate.

Armeniaca sibirica shell activated carbon (ASSAC) magnetized by nanoparticle Fe3O4 prepared from Armeniaca sibirica shell was investigated to determine its adsorption for Hg2+ from wastewater. Fe3O4/ASSAC was characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). Optimum adsorption parameters were determined based on the initial concentration of Hg2+, reaction time, reaction temperature, and pH value in adsorption studies. The experiment results demonstrated that the specific surface area of ASSAC decreased after magnetization; however the adsorption capacity and removal rate of Hg2+ increased 0.656 mg/g and 0.630%, respectively. When the initial concentration of Hg2+ solution was 250 mg/L and the pH value was 2, the adsorption time was 180 min and the temperature was 30 °C, and with the Fe3O4/ASSAC at 0.05 g, the adsorption reaching 97.1 mg/g, and the removal efficiency was 99.6%. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/ASSAC to Hg2+ was in accord with Freundlich isotherm models, and a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation was used to fit the adsorption best. The Gibbs free energy ΔGo < 0,enthalpy change ΔHo < 0, and entropy change ΔSo < 0 which manifested the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic process.

Sewage sludge-based activated carbon is proved to be an efficient and low-cost adsorbent in treatment of various industrial wastewaters. The produced carbon had a well-developed pore structure and relatively low Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. Adsorptive capacity of typical pollutants, i.e. copper Cu(II) and methylene blue (MB) on the carbon was studied. Adsorptions were affected by the initial solution pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. Results showed that adsorption of Cu(II) and MB on the produced carbon could reach equilibrium after 240 min. The average removal rate for Cu(II) on the carbon was high, up to 97% in weak acidic conditions (pH = 4–6) and around 98% for MB in a very wide pH range (pH = 2–12). The adsorption kinetics were well fitted by the pseudo-second order model, and both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models could well describe the adsorption process at room temperature. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of Cu(II) and MB on sewage sludge-based activated carbon were 114.94 mg/g and 125 mg/g, respectively. Compared with commercial carbon, the sewage sludge-based carbon was more suitable for heavy metal ions’ removal than dyes’.
