scholarly journals Removal of Malachite Green using Green Synthesized α-MnO2 nanoparticles: Kinetics, Intraparticle Diffusion and Isotherm

This study helps to understand the adsorption of Malachite Green (MG) on α-MnO2 nanoparticles which was green synthesized using sugarcane juice. Different parameters including pH of solution, dosage of adsorbent, concentration of pollutant and time for adsorption process was studied to conclude the efficacy of the process using the adsorbent. The isotherm and kinetics for adsorption of MG concluded that Langmiur isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic model yields the best fit. The maximum monolayer sorption according to Langmiur was found to be 300.03 mg/g. So, α-MnO2 nanoparticles prove to be a cost effective, environment friendly and easily available 3D adsorbent.

The objective of this paper is the study of the influence of the chemical structures of adsorbent and adsorbate on the adsorption process. By using of crab shell chitosan (CC) and deep-pink shrimp chitosan (CP) for removal of acid 183 and AR114 from aqueous solutions, it is shown that CP, which corresponds to the highest molecular weight, is the most efficient adsorbent material. In addition, the best extent of decolorization is obtained for AR 183 that is the smallest molecule. Langmuir model represents the best fit of the experimental data, indicating monolayer coverage of chitosan outer surface. Pseudo-second order kinetic model describes accurately the adsorption processes, suggesting chemical rate limiting steps. The positive values of the enthalpy changes indicated endothermic attachment of dyes to the biomaterials. CP/AR183 system corresponds to the most energetically favorable phenomenon. Besides, desorption of AR from chitosan was found to be very low in acidic aqueous medium for all couples.

Desiccated coconut waste (DCW) is an agricultural waste that originates from the coconut milk processing industry. In this study, it was utilized for the removal of copper (Cu(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)) via adsorption process. The physicochemical characterization of the DCW adsorbent shows that the adsorbent have a surface area of 6.63 m<sup>2</sup>/g, have high elemental carbon content and existences of important functional groups on its surface. The adsorptive capability of DCW adsorbent in removing the heavy metal were conducted in batch studies. DCW adsorbent performed highest Ni(II) and Cu(II) adsorption capacity at pH 6, where equilibrium is achieved at 450 minutes. The kinetic analysis showed the adsorption agreed with pseudo-second order kinetic model, indicating the Cu(II) and Ni(II) adsorption were a chemical adsorption, limited by the film diffusion. The DCW adsorbent still retained its effective adsorption capacity after 2 adsorption-desorption cycles, which is one of the excellent criteria of a good adsorbent for an adsorption process.

Modification of Cu/Cr layered double hydroxides (LDHs) has been conducted by intercalation using Keggin type polyoxometalate [a-SiW12O40]4- to form CuCr-[a-SiW12O40]. The materials were analyzed by XRD, FTIR, and surface area analyses. Furthermore, materials were used as selectivity adsorbents of cationic dyes such as malachite green, rhodamine-B and methylene blue. The malachite green is more selective than others from an aqueous solution. The adsorption of malachite green showed that the adsorption capacity of CuCr-[a-SiW12O40] was higher than pristine LDHs. The adsorption process was followed pseudo second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm adsorption. The Qmax value of CuCr-[a-SiW12O40] reached 55.322 mg/g at 323 K after 100 minutes adsorption time. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH and ΔS confirm that the adsorption process was endothermic, spontaneous, and more favorable at high temperatures. The intercalated material was higher structural stability toward reusability adsorbent than pristine LDHs.

A metal affinity-immobilized magnetic liposome (MA-IML) was prepared in this research, which was with lipid and Ni2+ content of 143.25 μg/mg and 32 μmol/mg, respectively. The antihypertensive peptides Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) and Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) could be adsorbed onto MA-IML under specific conditions, and the adsorption kinetics was explored. The pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 value>0.98) was more suitable to describe the adsorption process of IPP and VPP than the intraparticle diffusion model and pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The results indicated that MA-IML could be used as an adsorbent for screening antihypertensive peptides from natural products.

This study investigates the possibility of applying an adsorption process using two abundant natural minerals M1 and M2. Without pretreatment or activation, the adsorbents were used to treat real textile wastewater samples (collected from Fez city, Morocco). As a cost-effective alternative, these materials were characterized by different analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) were used to characterize the textile wastewater. Additionally, the influence of operating conditions (contact time, adsorbent dosages, and pH) was evaluated. Results show that the adsorption process takes place quickly, reaching the equilibrium at 90 and 160 min for M1 (88% COD) and M2 (79% COD). Both materials show a higher affinity to Cr (39%) and lower affinity to Cu (28%). A pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides the best fit to the experimental adsorption data. Germination tests indicate a low toxicity after the adsorption process. Performance of both materials was compared with that of other literature studies.

Adsorbent made by carbonization of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions has become a promising material for wastewater treatment owing to its cost-effective, simple, and eco-friendly processing method. Ultrasound is considered a green technique to modify carbon materials because it uses water as the solvent. In this study, a comparison of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) adsorption capacity between biochar (BC) generated by pyrolysis of water bamboo (Zizania latifolia) husks at 600 °C and ultrasound-assisted biochar (UBC) produced by pyrolysis at 600 °C assisted by ultrasonic irradiation was performed. UBC showed a greater reaction rate and reached about 80% removal efficiency after 4 h, while it took 24 h for BC to reach that level. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images indicated that the UBC morphology surface was more porous, with the structure of the combination of denser mesopores enhancing physiochemical properties of UBC. By Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), the specific surface areas of adsorbent materials were analyzed, and the surface areas of BC and UBC were 56.296 m2/g and 141.213 m2/g, respectively. Moreover, the pore volume of UBC was 0.039 cm3/g, which was higher than that of BC at 0.013 cm3/g. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics revealed the better fits of reactions to Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating the inclination towards monolayer adsorption and chemisorption of RB5 on water bamboo husk-based UBC.

Desethyl-atrazine (DEA) is a metabolite of atrazine that exerts a considerable influence on the environment. In this study, tall fescue biochar was prepared by pyrolysis at 500 °C, and batch experiments were conducted to explore its effect on the adsorption behavior of DEA in red soil, brown soil, and black soil. The addition of biochar increased the equilibrium amount of DEA adsorption for the three soil types. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model most closely fit the DEA adsorption kinetics of the three soils with and without biochar, with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.962 to 0.999. The isothermal DEA adsorption process of soils with and without biochar was optimally described by the Freundlich and Langmuir isothermal adsorption models with R2 values of 0.98 and above. The DEA adsorption process in the pristine soil involved an exothermic reaction, which became an endothermic reaction after the addition of biochar. Partitioning was dominant throughout the entire DEA adsorption process of the three pristine soils. Conversely, in soils with biochar, surface adsorption represented a greater contribution toward DEA adsorption under conditions of low equilibrium concentration. The overall results revealed that the tall fescue biochar was an effective adsorbent for DEA polluted soil.

In this work, the widely-abundant, cheap, wild plant Lavandula pubescens Decne was evaluated as an adsorbent for removing Pb(II) ions from wastewater. The chemical composition of the plant was partially isolated and characterized by the corresponding techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, gas liquid chromatography, and FTIR spectroscopy. The adsorption capacity of the dried plant material for Pb(II) ions increased with increasing contact time, initial ion concentration, and temperature, while it decreased with increasing adsorbent dosage. The optimum condition for Pb(II) adsorption was determined as 550 mg/L initial metal concentration, pH ≤ 7, and 90 min of contact. The best fit for Pb(II) adsorption isotherms was the linear form of the Freundlich model; however, the maximum capacity indicated by Langmuir was 91.32 mg/g. The experimental data fit better the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.969), suggesting chemisorption process. Thermodynamic data revealed an endothermic, nonspontaneous, and adsorption process favored at higher concentrations.

This paper reports the successful construction of novel polymerizable ionic liquid microemulsions and the in situ synthesis of poly(ionic liquid) adsorbents for the removal of Zn2+ from aqueous solution. Dynamic light-scattering data were used to confirm the polymerization media and to illustrate the effect of the crosslinker dosage on the droplet size of the microemulsion. FTIR and thermal analysis were employed to confirm the successful preparation of the designed polymers and characterize their thermostability and glass transition-temperature value. The optimization of the adsorption process indicates that the initial concentration of Zn2+, pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time affected the adsorption performance of poly(ionic liquid)s toward Zn2+. Furthermore, our research revealed that the adsorption process can be effectively described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model.

In the present study, bioremediation of Basic Violet 03 is examined using biochar derived from agricultural wastes. The pyrolytic studies revealed that ideal temperature for maximum yield of biochar derived from Coconut Shell (CSB), Ground nut Shell (GnSB) and Rice Husk (RHB) was obtained as 400 °C, 350 °C and 300 °C respectively. Further from the batch mode of operations, it was concluded that the optimum conditions of biochar dose, pH, temperature and initial concentration are 4 g/L, 8, 40 °C and 75 mg/L with a maximum uptake of 15.79 mg/g, 17.28 mg/g, and 12.64 mg/g for CSB, GnSB and RHB. The adsorption isotherm studies concluded that the three-parameter Sips model was obtained to be the best fit with a maximum correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9937, 0.9935 and 0.9965. The pseudo second order kinetic model was found to well represent the experimental kinetic data. The characterization results of biochar through SEM, EDX and FTIR revealed that there was a strong binding capacity of adsorbent was observed before and after adsorption process. The promising results concluded that biochar derived from agricultural wastes can potentially be utilized for the removal of cationic dyes.
