Activated carbons were prepared from Lapsi seed stone by the treatment with H2SO4 and HNO3 for the removal of Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution. Two activated carbon have been prepared from Lapsi seed stones by treating with conc.H2SO4 and a mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3 in the ratio of 1:1 by weight for removal of Ni(II) ions. Chemical characterization of the resultant activated carbons was studied by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Boehm titration which revealed the presence of oxygen containing surface functional groups like carboxyl, lactones and phenols in the carbons. The optimum pH for nickel adsorption is found to be 5. The adsorption data were better fitted with the Langmuir equations than Freundlich adsorption equation to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ni (II) on the resultant activated carbons was 28.25.8 mg g-1 with H2SO4 and 69.49 mg g-1 with a mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3. The waste material used in the preparation of the activated carbons is inexpensive and readily available. Hence the carbons prepared from Lapsi seed stones can act as potential low cost adsorbents for the removal of Ni (II) from water.

Adsorption Data

The adsorption isotherm of chromium (VI) on activated carbon was obtained in a batch adsorber. The experimental adsorption data were fitted reasonably well to the Freundlich isotherm. The effect of pH on the adsorption isotherm was investigated at pH values of 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12. It was found that at pH < 6, Cr(VI) was adsorbed and reduced to Cr(III) by the catalytic action of the carbon and that at pH ≥ 12, Cr(VI) was not adsorbed on activated carbon. Maximum adsorption capacity was observed at pH 6 and the adsorption capacity was diminished about 17 times by increasing the pH from 6 to 10. The pH effect was attributed to the different complexes that Cr(VI) can form in aqueous solution. The adsorption isotherm was also affected by the temperature since the adsorption capacity was increased by raising the temperature from 25 to 40°C. It was concluded that Cr(VI) was adsorbed significantly on activated carbon at pH 6 and that the adsorption capacity was greatly dependent upon pH.

Rice Husk Biochar

A magnetically modified rice husk biochar (MBC) was successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method from original biochar (BC) and subsequently used to remove phenanthrene (PHE) from aqueous solutions. The porosity, specific surface area and hydrophobicity of BC were significantly improved (approx. two times) after magnetic modification. The adsorption data fitted well to pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. Compared with BC, MBC had a faster adsorption rate and higher adsorption capacity of PHE. The adsorption equilibrium for PHE on MBC was achieved within 1.0 h. The maximum adsorption capacity of PHE on MBC was 97.6 mg g −1 based on the analysis of the Sips model, which was significantly higher than that of other sources of BCs. The adsorption mechanism of the two BCs was mainly attributed to the action of surface functional groups and π–π-conjugated reactions. The adsorption of PHE on MBC mainly occurred in the functional groups of C–O and Fe 3 O 4 , but that on BC was mainly in the functional groups of –OH, N–H, C=C and C–O.

In this study we evaluated the oil adsorption capacity of an aliphatic polyurethane foam (PU 1) and two of its composites, produced through surface coating using microparticles of silica (PU-Si 2) and activated carbon (PU-ac 3). The oil adsorption capacity in diesel was improved up to 36% using the composite with silica and up to 50% using the composite with activated carbon with respect to the initial PU 1. Excellent performances were retained in gasoline and motor oil. The adsorption was complete after a few seconds. The process follows a monolayer adsorption fitted by the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 29.50 g/g of diesel for the composite with activated carbon (PU-ac 3). These materials were proved to be highly oleophilic for oil removal from fresh water and sea water samples. Regeneration and reuse can be repeated up to 50 times by centrifugation, without a significant loss in adsorption capacity.

The adsorption behavior of Cu(II) and Cd(II) onto a magnetic lignin-based nanomaterial (MLN) was investigated in detail. The results showed that the adsorption isotherm was better described by the Langmuir model, showing monolayer adsorption with a maximum adsorption capacity of 135.7 and 156.5 mg/g. The kinetics fit the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamics showed the enthalpy change of the adsorption for Cu(II) and Cd(II) was 24.12 and 36.49 kJ/mol, with entropy change of 85.12 and 130.3 J/mol·K, respectively; thus, the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous in the range of 25°C–45°C. Additionally, the adsorbent was easy to regenerate. This study shows that MLN is a capable, sustainable absorbent for the removal of heavy metals.

The valorization of coffee wastes through modification to activated carbon has been considered as a low-cost adsorbent with prospective to compete with commercial carbons. So far, very few studies have referred to the valorization of coffee parchment into activated carbon. Moreover, low-cost and efficient activation methods need to be more investigated. The aim of this work was to prepare activated carbon from spent coffee grounds and parchment, and to assess their adsorption performance. The co-calcination processing with calcium carbonate was used to prepare the activated carbons, and their adsorption capacity for organic acids, phenolic compounds and proteins was evaluated. Both spent coffee grounds and parchment showed yields after the calcination and washing treatments of around 9.0%. The adsorption of lactic acid was found to be optimal at pH 2. The maximum adsorption capacity of lactic acid with standard commercial granular activated carbon was 73.78 mg/g, while the values of 32.33 and 14.73 mg/g were registered for the parchment and spent coffee grounds activated carbons, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm showed that lactic acid was adsorbed as a monolayer and distributed homogeneously on the surface. Around 50% of total phenols and protein content from coffee wastewater were adsorbed after treatment with the prepared activated carbons, while 44, 43, and up to 84% of hydrophobic compounds were removed using parchment, spent coffee grounds and commercial activated carbon, respectively; the adsorption efficiencies of hydrophilic compounds ranged between 13 and 48%. Finally, these results illustrate the potential valorization of coffee by-products parchment and spent coffee grounds into activated carbon and their use as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of organic compounds from aqueous solutions.

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.
