Glucomannan/graphene oxide (GM/GO) hydrogel was synthesized by using calcium hydroxide as the crosslinker. The synthesized material was characterized by using IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and RAMAN technology. The composite hydrogel was used for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. The results showed that the GM/GO hydrogel had a porous structure and a high adsorption capacity toward methylene blue (MB). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could fit the rate equation of MB adsorption onto the GM/GO hydrogel. The adsorption of MB onto GM/GO hydrogel was a spontaneous process. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data indicated that equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum dye adsorption capacity was 198,69 mg.g-1. Moreover, the hydrogel was stable and easily recovered and adsorption capacity was around 97% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after being used five times.

This report presents the effect of synthesis conditions on the synthesis of graphene nanosheets via electrochemical exfoliation method for adsorbing methylene blue from aqueous solution. Oxygen-containing functional groups and defects in the material were characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As a result, by using voltage of 15 V, (NH4)2SO4 (5%, 250 mL) and KOH (7.5%, 250 mL), the obtained material showed the highest MB adsorption capacity due to the high densities of oxygen-containing groups and defects comparison to other conditions.

By means of solution polymerization, a series of cross-linked starch-g-polyacrylamide/ montmorillonite (St-g-PAM/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared and used to adsorb methylene blue (MB). The effects of different preparation conditions on the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposites were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the prepared St-g-PAM/MMT nanocomposites were effective adsorbents for removal of MB from aqueous solution. Furthermore, adsorption capacity increased with the MMT contents up to 14% and decreased as the MMT contents further increased. Adsorption capacity increased with the increasing of the ratio of starch to acrylamide, whereas adsorption capacity decreased with the increasing of crosslinking agent contents.

The photocatalytic degradation of organics in aqueous solution is an active research field. Currently, the relatively low degradation efficiency is the key problem to be solved that caused by the simple recombination of the photo-generated electrons and holes. The electrode was prepared by anodic oxidation on titanium thin plate and produced multiporous nano-crystalline titanium dioxide film with anatase structure on titanium substrate. In order to inhibit the simple recombination of the electrons and holes, the electric potential bias was applied to the electrode to drive away the chargers. The change of the photocurrent and the discolouration of the dye solution containing either methylene blue or acid red G with different magnitude of the applied bias were measured. It shows that the photocurrent increased by three orders of magnitude from μA to mA level by the applied bias. Correspondingly, the discolouration rate of the methylene blue in dye solution was increased greatly with the increasing applied bias up to 3.5V. The different kinds of transitional metal ions dopants of Mn2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, and Ni2+ to the electrodes was done by anodic oxidation method. The effects of different types of dopants on the photocatalytic activity were revealed by measuring the degradation of an organics aqueous solution containing a dye using a combination of ultraviolet light energy in the presence of these electrodes. The photocatalytic efficiency, which was remarkably enhanced by the incorporation of Mn2+、 Cr3+.、 Mn2+, showed the largest enhancement. However, Fe3+ changed only slightly, and Ni2+ showed no enhancement. These effects were related to the difference of these transitional metal dopants electron work function values and also to the difference of their ionic radii in respect to that of Ti4+. The configuration of the reactor for water treatment with the rotating electrode and 365nm wavelength UV radiation was described.

Dye is a type of colorants that are widely used in many industries. Many dyes are toxic in nature with suspected carcinogenic and mutagenic effects that affect aquatic lives and also human beings. Adsorption process is considered as eco-friendly method to remove color from the aqueous solution compared to other established method. In this study, Casuarina Equitifolia leaves were used as an adsorbent. The Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed, using a central composite design (CCD) to optimize the three important variables, i.e., initial dye concentration, pH of the dye solution and adsorbent dosage in order to remove of methylene blue from aqueous solution. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the value (>0.8) of the coefficient of determination (R2) was obtained. The optimal condition was established at pH 6.91, 0.1 g adsorbent dosage and 10ppm initial methylene blue concentration. The removal efficiency was found to be 98.80%. From the findings, it shows that Casuarina Equitifolia leaves powder is suitable to be used as an adsorbent in removal of color from aqueous solution.

The adsorption capacity was compared for the dye wastewater onto adsorbent MnO2. The effects of contact time and dosage of adsorbent were studied. The adsorption kinetics was analyzed. The results showed that MnO2 possessed higher adsorption capacity to Methylene blue than Methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 94.82%and 78.63% respectively under the conditions (the dosage1.2g/L, time 60min, initial dye concentration 50mg/L, pH7). The dynamical data fit well with the pseudo second order kinetic model. The MnO2 has higher Methylene blue adsorption capacity in short equilibrium times and are good alternative in wastewater treatment.

Objective : Present research discussed the utilization of pumpkin-seed residue (PSR) after oil extraction with methanol as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution.Method : The experiment was carried out to evaluate the influence of PSR adsorbent dose (7.5-25 g/L), initial MB concentration (25-200 mg/L), contact time (30-120 min), pH (3-11), and temperature (293-333 K). Adsorption isotherms were modeled with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models.Results and Discussion : A pseudo-equilibrium state was reached within 30 min of contact time at low initial MB concentration (25-50 mg/L) and 90 min at high concentration (100-200 mg/L). Increasing pH and temperature caused an increase in adsorption capacity. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous with Gibb’s free-energy values ranging between -15.78 to -13.87 kJ/mol and endothermic with an enthalpy value of 0.011 kJ/mol. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 20.33 mg/g. Tempkin isotherm model clarified that the heat of sorption process was 6.28 J/mol. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics model and its rate constant was 0.002-0.278 g/mg・min.Conclusions : Findings of the present study indicated that the PSR can be successfully used for removal of MB from aqueous solution. Therefore, the PSR was shown to have good potential as a biosorbent for MB removal.
