For the treatment of dye wastewater, it is of great significance to develop new adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and good separation effect. In this study, the Fe-Co magnetic activated carbon material (CN-Fe-Co-AC) was first prepared by high-temperature calcination. CN-Fe-Co-AC is physically characterized by various methods. CN-Fe-Co-AC can efficiently and quickly remove the organic dyes methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 80 (AB80). The adsorption of MB and acid blue based on CN-Fe-Co-AC adsorbent is mainly through the specific surface area and the functional groups on the surface. During this recovery process, the adsorption activity of CN-Fe-Co-AC for MB and AB80 decreased slightly. Kinetic data can be described using a Pseudo-second-order model and the data for adsorption equilibrium can be described using the Langmuir isotherm. The theoretical adsorption capacities of MB and AB80 are 104.82[Formula: see text]mg/g and 26.94[Formula: see text]mg/g, respectively. After repeated use of five times, the removal rate of MB exceeded 96%, and the removal rate of AB80 exceeded 75%. The excellent adsorption performance and recyclability of CN-Fe-Co-AC indicate that this material has certain potential application value.

As the ancient metal, Sn is widely used in all aspects of human life. Nowadays, S, as the vulcanizing agent, is used in the process of refining tin to separate Cu and Sn. However, there are few reports about the other agent of removing copper from stannum. In this study, SnS, a new sulfiding agent to separate Cu and Sn, was investigated. During the process, SnS replaces the combination of Sn and Cu. The variables considered in the experimental study were reaction temperature, time and the ratio of reactants. The experimental data indicated under certain conditions, the removal rate of Cu reach 94.3%. At last, we studied the vacuum reaction of Cu2S and Sn, results indicated that under appropriate conditions, the Cu is detected. The SnS is formed. And after the vacuum reaction, the SnS could be used recycling. This work presented a promising technology for separating Cu from tin.

Macadamia shell contains a carbon content (47 - 49%), in addition, the shell contains 46.52% Oxidation, Hidro 6.10%, Nitrogen 0.36% and relatively low ash content of only 0.22%, this indicates the grain Macadamia has the potential to become activated carbon thanks to the above characteristics. This study was conducted to modify activated carbon by oxidizing agents to change the surface structure of activated carbon from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, non-polarizing to polarization, increasing the amount of adsorption simultaneously creating more durable links between dyes and activated carbon. Study of Methylene Blue wastewater treatment with coal from Maccadamia shell modified with H2O2 agent at H2O2 ratio : coal = 10:1. Research results show that Methylene Blue adsorption capacity reaches 1g /266,26mg Methylene Blue at optimal conditions corresponding to 25% concentration and 48 hours of soaking time. Analysis of infrared spectra showed that coal is modified by H2O2 agent with functional groups –OH, Carboxylic functional group C=O, group C-H in NH3, C–N group in Amine aliphatic or in Alcohol or Phenol and C–O bonding. Modified coal by H2O2 oxidation agent has Methylene Blue color treatment efficiency of 93.26%, corresponding to the original color of 474.67 Pt - Co at the respective optimal conditions pH = 8.5, dose of 1 g/L and treatment time of 60 minutes. Research results are similar to other research results and are applicable to color wastewater treatment.

The study aims at investigating the performance of nanoTiO2photocatalytic oxidation technology for the pretreatment of restaurant wastewater. The rate of lipids removal depends on conditions, such as irradiation time, TiO2dosage, aeration and addition of Fe3+or H2O2.The optimal conditions are determined: proper time of irradiation 10 min, TiO2dosage 25mg/L,pH6.0, adding 5mL Fe3+. Under this optimum, the removal efficiency of lipids reaches 74.7 ~ 88.6%, and that of CODcr was around 45.2~76.2%.While using illumination for 10 min, companied with TiO2and Fe3+/H2O2, the removal efficiency of Grease could increase by 3%~15%.Thus, satisfactory results were achieved for pretreatment of Grease Wastewater from restaurant, and this technique could be used as a pretreatment step for next biological treatment of restaurant wastewater.

In this paper, the enhanced adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye ion on the activated carbon (AC) modified by three surfactants in aqueous solution was researched. Anionic surfactants—sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS)—and cationic surfactant—hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)—were used for the modification of AC. This work showed that the adsorption performance of cationic dye by activated carbon modified by anionic surfactants (SLS) was significantly improved, whereas the adsorption performance of cationic dye by activated carbon modified by cationic surfactant (CTAB) was reduced. In addition, the effects of initial MB concentration, AC dosage, pH, reaction time, temperature, real water samples, and additive salts on the adsorption were studied. When Na+, K+, Ca2+, NH4+, and Mg2+ were present in the MB dye solution, the effect of these cations was negligible on the adsorption (<5%). The presence of NO2- improved the adsorption performance significantly, whereas the removal rate of MB was reduced in the presence of competitive cation (Fe2+). It was found that the isotherm data had a good correlation with the Langmuir isotherm through analyzing the experimental data by various models. The dynamics of adsorption were better described by the pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The results showed that AC modified by anionic surfactant was effective for the adsorption of MB dye in both modeling water and real water.

AbstractThe remediation of methylene blue from wastewater using chitosan-sunflower-nano-iron (CSN) beds was examined in this study with the Fenton process. Nano-iron is synthesized using the green synthesis process. Then, biopolymer beds obtained nano-iron, sunflower tray waste, and chitosan. These beds used the Fenton process for removing Methylene blue (MB) from water. Beds synthesis and dye removing are characterized using SEM, TEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. For the method optimization, the effects of dye concentration, temperature, pH, H2O2, and amount of biocatalyst were studied. The result of the wavelength scan was found 660 nm for methylene blue dye. Using CSN, catalyst was very effective in color removal for MB under optimal conditions. The highest removal rate 98% was obtained at pH 6 for 270 min. The optimum conditions for the MB dye are as follows; dye concentration: 25 mg/L, amount of absorbent: 2.5 mg/mL, temperature: 60 °C, H2O2 amount: 20 mg/L (600 µL, 30%). When the experiment is studied in optimum conditions, max. dye removal was calculated to be 98%. From SEM, TEM, XRD, and FTIR results, the change in the surface of the biocatalyst could be clearly observed. It is understood that the biocatalyst synthesized from the results we obtained easily removed a large amount of dye (MB).
