In this study, Biosorption of Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution by using biomass ofAspergillusnigerwas investigated. Different parameters such as initial pH, Ni (II) ions concentration, contact time and temperature were explored. The biosorption of Ni (II) ions was highly pH dependent and the optimum pH for biosorption of Ni (II) ions was found to be 7.0. The biosorption equilibrium was established in about 30min of contact time. Ni (II) ions removal increased with increasing temperature in the studied range. Equilibrium uptake of Ni (II) ions onto biomass increased with increasing initial Ni (II) ions concentration (20-300mg/L). The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to experimental equilibrium data and the Langmuir model better described the equilibrium metal uptake than the Freundlich model. These results suggest that the biomass ofAspergillusnigeris a promising biosorbent for removal of nickel (II) ions from the wastewater.

The biosorption of C. I. Reactive Red, from aqueous solutions by calcium alginate immobilized Penicilium sp. biomass was studied in a batch system. The effects of solution initial pH, temperature, NaCl concentration and initial dye concentration on dye biosorption were investigated. In batch experiments, the dye removal efficiency decreased with increase in solution pH, and the maximum dye biosorption of immobilized biomass was 93.20% at pH 2. In the contrary, the percentage of dye removal was increased in the dye biosorption with the increasing temperature in studied temperature. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to experimental equilibrium data and the Langmuir model better described the equilibrium dye uptake than the Freundlich model. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum dye uptake was obtained as 120.48mg/g. The results indicate that the immobilized Penicilium sp. biomass can be used as an effective biosorbent to removal C. I. Reactive Red from aqueous solution.

The feasibility of using powdered cow hooves (CH) for removing Ni2+ from aqueous solution was investigated through batch studies. The study was conducted to determine the effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, adsorbent particle size, and temperature on the adsorption capacity of CH. Equilibrium studies were conducted using initial concentration of Ni2+ ranging from 15 to 100 mgL−1 at 208, 308, and 318 K, respectively. The results of our investigation at room temperature indicated that maximum adsorption of Ni2+ occurred at pH 7 and contact time of 20 minutes. The thermodynamics of the adsorption of Ni2+ onto CH showed that the process was spontaneous and endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models were used to quantitatively analysed the equilibrium data. The equilibrium data were best fitted by Freundlich isotherm model, while the adsorption kinetics was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The mean adsorption energy obtained from the D-R isotherm revealed that the adsorption process was dominated by physical adsorption. Powdered cow hooves could be utilized as a low-cost adsorbent at room temperature under the conditions of pH 7 and a contact time of 20 minutes for the removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solution.

The industrial discharge of heavy metals into waters' course is one of the major pollution problems affecting water quality. Therefore, they must be removed prior to their discharge into waste streams. An efficient and low-cost bioadsorbent has been investigated from Desmostachya bipinnata (Kush) by charring with concentrated sulphuric acid and functionalized with dimethylamine.It was characterised by SEM, FTIR and elemental analysis. The effect of pH, initial concentration and contact time of the metal solution was monitered by batch method. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined for Cd and Zn at their optimum pH 6. The equilibrium data were analysed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Langmuir isotherm model fitted well and the rate of adsorption followed the pseudo second order kinetic equation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v27i1.6669 J. Nepal Chem.

In this study, removal of copper(Ⅱ) from aqueous solutions was examined using corn stalk. In the batch mode adsorption studies, the effects of initial pH and contact time on the copper(Ⅱ) adsorption by the corn stalk have been studied. The results show that: the pH 6.0 and contact time 8 hrs is optimum conditions of this absorption process when the dosage of corn stalk is 0.1g. In the isotherm studies, the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied. The R2 of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm are 0.981 and 0.944 respectively. The Langmuir adsorption capacity Qmax is 54.05 mg/g. The goodness of fitness was obtained with the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.

Abstract Water with phosphate concentrations above 2 μM may adversely affect aquatic life and human health. In this study, the parameters affecting phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by ion exchange were investigated – contact time and temperature, initial pH, initial phosphate concentration and resin dosage, and the presence of other ions. The best phosphate removal (99%) from 100 mg-P/L initial solution was observed at pH 10 and 25 °C after 3 hours of contact time. No negative phosphate removal results were obtained from phosphate solutions containing sulfate, nitrate and ammonium ions, i.e., resembling real wastewater. Desorption (with NaOH or NaCl) and recovery (with CaO) studies of phosphate sorbed by resin were also carried out, as well as thermodynamic investigations. The proportional desorbability of phosphate from the resin with NaCl was 85.6%. The recovery efficiency of phosphate was 79.4%. The sorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The ion exchange mechanism was determined using different internal and external diffusion models. The mechanism controlling the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution is both internal and external diffusion. Application of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models showed that the experimental results fit well with the Freundlich model.

Sugarcane stalks powder was tested for its efficiency of removing a textile dye Maxilon Red GRL from aqueous solution. Different parameters affecting dye removal efficiency were studied. These parameters include contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, pH, and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to the equilibrium data. The data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm (). The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity () was found to be 20.96 mg/g at an initial pH of 7.2. The temperature variation study showed that dye adsorption is exothermic and spontaneous with increased randomness at the solid solution interface. The results indicated that sugarcane stalks could be an alternative for more costly adsorbents used for dye removal. The kinetic of the adsorption process followed the pseudo second-order kinetics model.

The factors influencing the cationization of microcrystalline cellulose with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl triethylammonium chloride in the presence of NaOH were investigated. The course of the reaction was followed by estimating the nitrogen content of the cationized product while its structural features were confirmed by IR analysis. The ability of cationized cellulose to adsorb anionic dyes, viz. Acid Orange 7, Direct Blue 75 and Direct Violet 31, was investigated at 25°C and 50°C. The equilibrium data obtained were fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, allowing the corresponding adsorption parameters to be determined. The results showed that the adsorption capacity was dependent on the adsorbent, temperature, the nature of the dye and (to some extent) on van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. Cationized cellulose exhibited a much better adsorption capacity towards anionic dyes than cellulose.
