A series of three chitosan-based magnetic composites was prepared through a simple coprecipitation method. It was investigated the influence of mass ratio between chitosan and magnetite on the physical and chemical properties of the composites in order to establish the optimum conditions for obtaining a composite with good adsorption capacity for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions. It was found that the microspheres prepared using mass ratio chitosan / magnetite 1.25/1, having a saturation magnetization of 15 emu g--1, are the best to be used as adsorbent for the metal ions. The influence of different parameters such as initial pH values, contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, on the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) onto the chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent was investigated in details. The adsorption process fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model in both mono and bicomponent systems, and the maximum adsorption capacities calculated on the basis of the Langmuir model were 79.4 mg g--1 for Pb(II) and 48.5 mg g--1 for Cu(II) in monocomponent systems, while in bicomponent systems were 88.3 and 49.5 mg g--1, respectively. The results revealed that the as prepared chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent can be an effective and promising adsorbent for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions.

Removal Of Metal Ions

In the present work, sugar beet pulp, a common waste from the sugar refining industry, was studied in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. The ability of this cheap biopolymer to sorb several metals namely Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions was investigated. The metal fixation capacities of the sorbent were determined according to operating conditions and the fixation mechanisms were identified. The biopolymer has shown high elimination rates and interesting metal fixation capacities. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated and discussed. For 8 × 10-4 M initial metal concentration, the initial sorption rates (v0) ranged from 0.063 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Pb2+ to 0.275 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Ni2+ ions, with the order: Ni2+ > Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. Then, the kinetic and equilibrium parameters calculated qm and v0 were tentatively correlated to the properties of the metals. Finally, equilibrium experiments in multimetallic systems were performed to study the competition of the fixation of Pb2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ cations. In all cases, the metal fixation onto the biopolymer was found to be favourable in multicomponent systems. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that this biosorbent represents a low-cost solution for the treatment of metal-polluted wastewaters.

The sorption of uranium and thorium from their aqueous solutions by using 8-hydroxyquinoline modified Na-bentonite (HQ-bentonite) was investigated by the batch technique. Na-bentonite and HQ-bentonite were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Factors that influence the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite such as solution pH, contact time, initial metal ions concentration, HQ-bentonite mass, and temperature were tested. Sorption experiments were expressed by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms and the sorption results demonstrated that the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite correlated better with the Langmuir isotherm than the Freundlich isotherm. Kinetics studies showed that the sorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° indicated that the sorption of uranium and thorium onto HQ-bentonite was endothermic, feasible, spontaneous, and physical in nature. The maximum adsorption capacities of HQ-bentonite were calculated from the Langmuir isotherm at 303 K and were found to be 63.90 and 65.44 for U(VI) and Th(IV) metal ions, respectively.

Heavy metals are very toxic water pollutant. Their presence not only affect human beings but also animals and vegetation because of their mobility in aqueous ecosystem, toxicity and non-biodegradability [1].in the aim of removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions, an eco-friendly biosorbent was prepared from lagoon sludge by a humification process. The biosorption of Cd2+ and Al3+ ions from aqueous solutions was investigated as a function of initial pH,contact time, initial metal ions concentration, and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich models were used to determine the sorption isotherm. Optimum pH for the removal of cadmium and aluminum was found respectively to be around 6 and 4 [2] . The equilibrium was obtained in 60 min with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir model was a better fit with the experimental data for both cadmium and aluminum adsorption with a regression coefficient up to 0.99 and Qmax of 100 and 142 mg.g-1 respectively for Cd2+and Al3+.

Biochar produced by the pyrolysis of biomass can be used to counter water pollution from heavy metals. The purpose of this work was to develop a biosorbent based on soy sauce residue (SSR) for the removal of Cr6+ and Pb2+. The SSR biochar (SBC) from oxygen-limited pyrolysis under the temperatures of 300 to 700 °C were obtained, and their adsorption capability was evaluated. After determining the optimum pyrolysis temperature, the effects of initial pH values, contact times, and initial metal concentrations on the Cr6+ and Pb2+ adsorption by SBC prepared at 600 °C (SBC600) were investigated. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the physical and chemical properties of SBC developed in a direction favorable to heavy metal adsorption. The SBC600 reached the adsorption equilibrium at the time of 2 (Cr6+) and 24 h (Pb2+), and the maximum adsorption amounts of Cr6+ and Pb2+ were 25.80 and 135.3 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, and the adsorption isotherms was best described by the Langmuir isotherms. The SBC was an adsorbent with certain potential for heavy metals removal in wastewater.

The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of estrogen hormones (17β-estradiol and estrone) from aqueous solutions using rice husk extracted silica. Rice husk was collected from rice factories in Mazandaran province (Iran) and the adsorbent was prepared in a furnace at 800 °C for 4 h, after acid leaching with hydrochloric and sulfuric acid mixture. Optimal operating parameters for estrogen removal were determined, including initial pH values (4–9), adsorbent dosages (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 g L–1), contact times (30, 60, 90, and 120 min), and initial concentrations of 17β-estradiol and estrone (10, 40, 70 and 100 ng L–1); one-factor-at-a-time method was used. The method of electrochemiluminescence was used to measure the concentration of hormones. Kinetic adsorption models and adsorption isotherms were also studied. The maximum removal efficiency (%) of 17β-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) hormones of 95.5 and 93.1 %, respectively, was obtained at optimal conditions of pH 4, 1.5 g L–1 of adsorbent dosage, 60 min of contact time and 10 ng L–1 initial concentrations of E2 and E1. Pseudo first-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm had the best fit with experimental data for both estrogen hormones, following nonlinear regression procedure. Rice husk silica could be considered as effective and accessible adsorbent for removal of estrogenic hormones.

Abstract In this work, diethylenetriamine pentamethylenephosphonic acid (DTPMP) was ultilized into preparing of Zr(IV) organophosphates hybrids (Zr-DTPMP-x, x was the molar ratio of Zr(IV)/DTPMP in the synthetic process, x = 0.5, 1, 2, and 3) using a hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of Zr-DTPMP-x were characterized by SEM&EDS, FT-IR, XRD, Zeta potential, XPS, TGA and contact angle analysis. Moreover, the adsorptive performances of Zr-DTPMP-x for U(VI) were investigated. The adsorption results showed that the optimum molar ratio of Zr(IV) to phosphine, pH, equilibrium time, and dosage was 0.5, 4.0, 180 min, and 10 mg, respectively. Besides, the adsorption of U(VI) was in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Sips isothermal model. Moreover, the adsorption capacity determined by Sips isothermal model was 181.34 mg g−1 for Zr-DTPMP-0.5. Furthermore, the adsorptive selectivity of Zr-DTPMP-0.5 for U(VI) was superior than the others. Zr-DTPMP-0.5 may be a powerful candidate for diminishing the contamination of U(VI).

A middle grade siliceous phosphorite from Yunnan province was selected to treat Cd2+ bearing aqueous solutions. The siliceous phosphorite was tested by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy. The results present that the valuable mineral is nanostructured carbonated fluorapatite and the major gangue mineral is quartz. The amount of Cd2+ sorbed by the siliceous phosphorite tends to increase with the increase of initial pH or the initial Cd2+ concentration of the simulated waste water. The reaction process of Cd2+ removal from aqueous solutions is highly fitted with the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The results indicate that nanostructured carbonated fluorapatite bearing siliceous phosphorite can effectively immobilize aqueous Cd2+.

Abstract A cross-linked chitosan-PVA spherical hydrogel (CSH) was synthesized and its structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The physical and chemical properties of CSH, such as acid resistance and swelling, were determined. Finally, Cu(II) ion removal by the CSH was investigated, and the effects of experimental parameters, including pH, adsorption time, and regeneration performance were examined. Results revealed that CSH has outstanding stability in strong acid solution, thus extending the useful pH range as an adsorbent material. The maximum capacity of CSH for Cu(II) was obtained to be 62.1 mg/g at 25 °C for 24 h. The adsorption process was best described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while isotherm modeling revealed that the Langmuir equation better described the adsorption of Cu(II) on CSH. Moreover, the loaded CSH can be easily regenerated by the HCl-washing method and reused repeatedly for Cu(II) adsorption for up to five cycles.

Adsorption Of Co2

In this work, we used the bark of eucalyptus grafted with acrylic acid (EAA) as an adsorbent for removing of Co2+ ions from aqueous solutions. EAA was characterized using Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and bohemian method. The bulk density and the zero-charge point (pzch) were also determined. The results showed that eucalyptus grafted with acrylic acid (EAA) is rich in COOH and OH groups and pzch is acidic. We also valorized the Bark of Eucalyptus (EB) in the removing of Co2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The kinetic study showed that the extraction equilibrium of Co2+ ions by EB is reached after 40 min and the extraction process is expressed by the second-order kinetic model. The effect of Co2+ concentration and initial pH on the removal efficiency showed that the binding capacity increases with increasing in the pHi and the concentration of Co2+ ions and the maximum capacity is 55.55 mg/g. The mathematical modelling study of the adsorption of Co2+ ions on the BE showed that the adsorption process follows the Langmuir model. The kinetics of desorption is 8 times faster than the extraction and our material is regenerated with higher performance.

In this study an agricultural residue, sesame stalk, was evaluated for the removal of Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ions from aqueous solutions. Biosorption studies were carried out at different pH, biosorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentrations, contact time, and solution temperature to determine the optimum conditions. The experimental data were modeled by Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin isotherm models. Langmuir model resulted in the best fit of the biosorption data. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data and to evaluate rate constants. The best correlation was provided by the second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° were calculated for predicting the nature of adsorption. The experimental results showed that sesame stalk can be used as an effective and low-cost biosorbent precursor for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions.
