The activated carbon obtained at 800 °C possessed the outstanding specific surface area of 2786 m2/g. And the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of Hg2+ was recorded as 342.0 mg/g due to abundant micropores of 1.076 nm. In addition, the adsorption data were well explained by the Langmuir model with the monolayer adsorption capacity of 555.6 mg/g.

Calcium silicate hydrate gel (CSH) was synthesized by calcium acetate and sodium silicate. The structure and morphology of CSH were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy. The adsorption performance of CSH was measured by static adsorption method. The results show that CSH has porous structure and large specific surface area, and the optimum reaction conditions is the reaction temperature of 25°C and calcium-silicon ratio of 1.2. It has the maximum adsorption capacity of more than 150 mg/g and the removal rate of more than 86% with Cu2+. And it shows the excellent adsorption performance, even when the concentration of Cu2+ is less than 200mg/L, the removal rate is above 90%. The research may provide a low-cost and high-efficiency adsorbent.

Adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution using MFe2O4 nanoferrites (M = Co, Ni, and Zn) was studied. Nanoferrite samples were prepared via the mechanochemical method and were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), micro-Raman, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). XRD analysis confirms the formation of pure single phases of cubic ferrites with average crystallite sizes of 23.8, 19.4, and 19.2 nm for CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4, respectively. Only NiFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 samples show superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, whereas CoFe2O4 is ferromagnetic. Kinetics and isotherm adsorption studies for adsorption of Pb(II) were carried out. A pseudo-second-order kinetic describes the sorption behavior. The experimental data of the isotherms were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on the nanoferrites was found to be 20.58, 17.76, and 9.34 mg·g−1 for M = Co, Ni, and Zn, respectively.

Iron oxides-coated kaolinite (Fe-Kaolinite) was prepared by co-precipitation and indentified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, the surface properties and fluoride adsorption characteristics of Fe-Kaolinite were investigated and compared with those of kaolinite. Compared to kaolinite, the BET surface area and surface fractal dimension of Fe-Kaolinite increased significantly. The pH at zero point of charge (pHZPC) of kaolinite and Fe-Kaolinite was 3.16 and 6.24, respectively. In the suspensions of pH 6.0, the fitted maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for fluoride of kaolinite and Fe-Kaolinite was 1.32 and 5.86 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for fluoride by Fe-Kaolinite could be fitted using Freundlich isotherm (R2 =0.987), and Langmuir isotherm was very suitable for describing the fluoride adsorption of kaolinite (R2 =0.991).

Blueberry (BB) and cherry pomace were investigated as new biosorbents for aflatoxins (AFs) sequestration from buffered solutions, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Among the tested biosorbents, BB exhibited the maximum adsorption performance for AFs and hence was further selected for the optimization of experimental parameters like pH, dosage, time and initial concentration of AFs. Material characterizations via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isothermal studies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) techniques revealed useful information about the texture and chemical composition of the biosorbents. The fitting of isothermal data with different models showed the model suitability trend as: Sips model > Langmuir model > Freundlich model, where the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Sips model was 4.6, 2.9, 2.7 and 2.4 mg/g for AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2, respectively. Kinetics study revealed the fast AFs uptake by BB (50–90 min) while thermodynamics studies suggested the exothermic nature of the AFs adsorption from both, single as well as multi-toxin buffer systems, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Accrediting to the fast and efficient adsorption performance, green and facile fabrication approach and cost-effectiveness, the newly designed BB pomace can be counted as a promising contender for the sequestration of AFs and other organic pollutants.

Slag haydite made from steel slag and clay was used for phosphate adsorption, and adsorption characteristic was studied. Results showed that the uptake of phosphate was facilitated for pH 3-8, the adsorption process fitted with pseudo-second-order model and intra-particle diffusion model, and the equilibrium time was about 3h. Isotherm adsorption data on slag haydite were fitted by both the Freundlich and Langmuir models. It was found that the data follows the Langmuir model better, and the maximum adsorption capacity increased from 1.17mg·g-1 to 2.42mg·g-1 as temperature rose from 20°C to 40°C. Thermodynamic parameters G0, H0 andS0 showed that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic and entropy increase process and increasing temperature was favorable.

The TiO2-activated carbon fiber (ACF) was successfully prepared by electrospinning and thermal treatment. The nanofiber was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunner-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The results showed that the average diameter of ACF was in the range 200-500 nm, and the preoxidation temperature and carbonation temperature were 250°C and 500°C, and the anatase TiO2 appeared in fiber after carbonation, and TiO2-ACF specific surface area was 1146.7 m2/g. The TiO2-ACF was used for adsorption of low concentration SO2. The results showed that the adsorption rate increased with an increase in SO2 concentration, furthermore the adsorption rate increased with prolonged adsorption time, the high adsorption rate was 67.6% after 40 min. While temperature was below 60°C, the adsorption rate decreased as the temperature increased, however when temperature was above 60°C, there was a slight increase of adsorption rate as the temperature increased.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen physical adsorption, potentiometric titrations and batch adsorption experiments were employed to characterize the crystal structure, micromorphologies and surface properties of raw kaolinite (RKao) and acid-activated kaolinite (AAKao). Compared to RKao, the particle size of AAKao became smaller, but the specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and surface negative charge at pH 5.5 increased. The adsorption capacity (qmax) for Ni (II) of RKao and AAKao was 3.25 mg/g and 5.09 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for Ni (II) by RKao and AAKao could be fitted by Langmuir model (R2 =0.991 and 0.989, respectively).
