To explore the possibility of simultaneously adsorptive treating polluted water containing both organics and heavy metals, multifunctional polymeric resin NDA-1500 was prepared through chemically modification of chloromated polystyrene with salicylic acid. The FT-IR, BET surface area measurements and sodium capacity measurement were applied to characterize the properties of NDA-1500. The adsorption properties toward 4-chloro-phenol and heavy metals such as Pb2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions were studied respectively. The adsorption data of the NDA-1500 toward 4-chloro-phenol fit well with Langmuir model. The adsorption capacity of NDA-1500 toward 4-chloro-phenol was higher than that of unmodified NDA-150 and adsorption capacity decreased with increase of temperature suggesting the exothermic process. The removal efficiencies of metal ions by NDA-1500 were also 2-3 times higher than that of NDA-150 and the metals were recovered completely with 0.2 mol/L hydrochloric acid.

This study was carried out to evaluate the environmental application of functionalized carbon nanotubes through the experimental removal of strontium (II) from water. The aim was to find the optimal condition for the removal of strontium from water under different conditions such as initial concentration of strontium, contact time and neutral pH. The functionalized multi wall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNT) were characterized by FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption isotherms were correlated to Freundlich and Langmuir models and it was found that the adsorption data could be fitted better by Langmuir model than Freundlich one. The kinetic data shows that the adsorption describes well with the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Functionalized MWCNT can be used as good adsorbent for the removal of the strontium ions from polluted water according to results.

Thallium (Tl) is highly toxic in the environment. In order to solve the harm of Tl pollution to the environment, thiol-polystyrene microsphere (TPM) with good adsorption properties for Tl were prepared in this paper. The GAUSSIAN software was used to calculate the adsorption performance of the TPM on Tl+, and the adsorption mechanism was discussed. The thermogravimetric analysis show that the TPM prepared with chloromethyl polystyrene microspheres (CPM) and thiourea as the main raw materials has good chemical thermal stability. In the Tl+ solution of 1mg/L, the adsorption and removal rate of the TPMs in was 99%, with a significant adsorption of Tl+ properties. When the dosage of TPM is 0.4L/g, pH is 6-10, temperature is 5-20 °C, and adsorption time reaches 640min, thallium-containing water with Tl+ concentration of 5mg/L can be treated to within the national discharge standard (5μg/L). The analytical effect of 0.5mol/L dilute sulfuric acid on TPM can reach 99.96%, and the adsorption capacity of TPM on Tl+ is reduced by only 0.1% after repeated use 4 times, which has good regeneration performance. The modified polystyrene microspheres were characterized by EDS, FT-IR, Raman spectra and XPS, and it was proved that the TPM were ligated with Tl+ through the grafted mercapto group, so as to adsorb and remove Tl+ from the solution. According to the isotherm and kinetic model of TPM adsorption Tl+, the maximum saturated adsorption amount of TPM to Tl+ can reach 3.47mg/g, mainly chemical adsorption, and the membrane diffusion stage is the main control step of TPM adsorption Tl+. The results showed that the TPM could be a promising adsorbent with good adsorption capacity and reusability for Tl+ removal from wastewater

SummaryA correlation is established between thermodynamic data for hypothetical macroscopic amounts of elements and experimentally accessible data on gold surfaces. The correlation between the experimentally determined standard adsorption enthalpies of elements on gold surfaces and their standard sublimation enthalpies is shown to be valid over a broad data range for various elements from light noble gases (Kr) up to heavy metals (Pb, Bi). This type of correlation is indispensable to derive thermodynamic data for macroscopic amounts of elements from results of adsorption chromatographic experiments with single atom amounts. It is also necessary to predict the behavior of single atoms from given or estimated thermochemical data. The conditions under which this correlation is valid are elaborated. Finally, predicted data for the elements 112 and 114 are used to link them to the corresponding sublimation or adsorption data. The obtained prediction intervals are of exceptional importance for the design of sophisticated experimental setups for the chemical investigation of transactinide elements on a single atom scale.

Conventional methods to remove heavy metals from polluted water are expensive and not environmentally friendly. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the potential of agricultural waste such as pineapple peel (Ananas Cosmos) as low-cost absorbent to remove heavy metals from synthetic polluted water. The results showed that Cd, Cr and Pb were effectively removed by the biosorbent at 12g of pineapple peels in 100 mL solution. The optimum contact time for maximum adsorption was found to be 90 minutes, while the optimum pH for the heavy metal’s adsorption was 9. It was demonstrated that with the increase of adsorbent dosage, the percent of heavy metals removal was also increased due to the increasing adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. In addition, Langmuir model show maximum adsorption capacity of Cd is 1.91 mg/g. As conclusions, our findings show that pineapple peel has potential to remove heavy metal from polluted water.

Char derived from pyrolysis of physic nut waste at 400-800°C was used for the preparation of activated carbon by chemical impregnation of phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide. The original char exhibited the BET surface area in the range of 120-250 m2·g-1. The surface area increased to 480 and 532 m2·g-1 when activated with H3PO4 and KOH, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption data was found to be best represented by the Langmuir isotherm with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 560.13 mg·g-1 at 30°C. The adsorption capacity of the physic nut residue activated carbon was comparable to commercial activated carbon.

   The aim of this work is to detect the best operating conditions that effect on the removal of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution using date pits in the batch adsorption experiments. The results have shown that the Al-zahdi Iraqi date pits demonstrated more efficient at certain values of operating conditions of adsorbent doses of 0.12 g/ml of aqueous solution, adsorption time 72 h, pH solution 5.5 ±0.2, shaking speed  300 rpm, and smallest adsorbent particle size needed for removal of metals.  At the same time the particle size of date pits has a little effect on the adsorption at low initial concentration of heavy metals. The adsorption of metals increases with increasing the initial of metal concentration while above the 85 ppm, the removal efficiency was decreased. The phenomenon of adsorption of heavy metals on to Al-Zahdi Iraqi Date pits is exothermic process. The maximum adsorption capacity according to the Langmuir equation was 0.21, 0.149, and 0.132 mmol/g for Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+ respectively. The adsorption equilibrium was well described by the Freundlich model. The results of Freundlich constants indicated that the adsorption capacity and adsorption intensity of Copper is larger than the Zinc and Nickel. The intraparticle diffusion was involved is this process but it is not the controlling step. The results of this study may inspire to find the optimal operating conditions for adsorption and develop that with large-scale production to clean the polluted water with heavy metals.

The aim of research: comparative study of adsorption capacity and selectivity of enterosorbents of different generations. Material and methods. The subject of the study is enterosorbents widely applied in clinical practice. They belong to different generations and exhibit different adsorption capacities and different doses of daily application. Results. It was found out that enterosorbents differed from one another and the latest generation had more perfect and diverse adsorption properties. The experimental data confirmed that enterosorbents of the fourth generation, in particular white carbon, whose main component is silicon dioxide exhibited a highly developed active surface and high adsorption capacity relative to highly toxic heavy metals, while its ability to bind and remove useful components (biometals and vitamin C) in organism was negligibly low. Conclusions. The enterosorbent of the fourth generation «White coal» possess high adsorption capacity toward heavy metals and simultaneously are characterized by negligibly low capacity to bind and remove bioactive compounds such as biometals and vitamin C.

Abstract Novel porous nanocomposite (AC/NC/TGO) was successfully synthesized through the composition of activated carbon, nanoclay and graphene oxide as a Pb(II) adsorbent for the treatment of contaminated aqueous environment. The physicochemical properties and morphology of AC/NC/TGO were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques. Results showed Pb(II) adsorption on the AC/NC/TGO was rapid in the first 20 min and reached equilibrium in 40 min. Kinetic studies showed significant fit to the pseudo second order kinetic model (R2 ≥ 0.9965) giving an equilibrium rate constant (K2) of 0.0017 g mg−1 min−1 for Pb(II) loaded. The experimental adsorption data were better fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model than with the Freundlich isotherm model. Prepared nanocomposite exhibited high values of Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 1,296 m2 g−1 and total pore volume of 1.01 cm3 g−1. Maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax = 208 mg g−1) and a relatively high adsorption rate was achieved at pH 5.0 using an adsorbent dose of 0.5 g L−1 and an initial lead concentration of 50 mg L−1. High adsorption capacity, reusability, fast kinetics and simple synthesis method indicate that prepared nanocomposite can be suggested as a high-performance adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from polluted water.

Removal of lead from aqueous solutions was studied using nanocomposite absorbent of bentonite/-alumina. The novel absorbent was characterized using XRD, FT-IR and SEM-EDX. Absorption process optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) and experimental design was performed with central composite design technique. The effects of Pb(II) initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and composite percentage on Pb(II) removal percentage and adsorption capacity were examined. The adsorption capacity of 166.559 mg/g and removal % of 82.9887 with desirability equal to 0.763 were obtained for optimal initial concentration of 200 mg•l-1, adsorbent dosage of 0.5 mg•l-1, and composite percentage of 7.08 % determined using RSM design. The equilibrium adsorption data were investigated by Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. It was found that Freundlich isotherm model fits better compared with other models.
