Novel Starch

A novel starch-based material, designated as DASU-EDTA, was firstly prepared by the reaction of EDTA anhydride with previously synthesized dialdehyde urea starch (DASU). This material was characterized by IR spectroscopy and used as an adsorbent to remove Cu (II) ions from aqueous solution. The IR results showed EDTA was successfully attached to the glucose units of starch, and DASU-EDTA was one of starch amides derivatives. The adsorption tests revealed that the adsorption of DASU-EDTA for Cu (II) ions was an endothermic process, which mainly relied on the strong chelation of EDTA to metal ions. The optimal conditions should be controlled at pH 5.0 and 120min. In addition, it was found that the high initial concentration of Cu (II) ions was favorable for the adsorption of DASU-EDTA for Cu (II) ions.

The aim of this study is to use the dry fibers of date palm as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution by fluidized bed column. The effects of many operating conditions such as superficial velocity, static bed height, and initial concentration on the removal efficiency of metal ions were investigated. FTIR analyses clarified that hydroxyl, amine and carboxyl groups could be very effective for bio-sorption of these heavy metal ions. SEM images showed that dry fibers of date palm have a high porosity and that metal ions can be trapped and sorbed into pores. The results show that a bed height of 6 cm, velocity of 1.1Umf and initial concentration for each heavy metal ions of 50 mg/L are most feasible and give high removal efficiency. The fluidized bed reactor was modeled using ideal plug flow and this model was solved numerically by utilizing the MATLAB software for fitting the measured breakthrough results. The breakthrough curves for metal ions gave the order of bio-sorption capacity as follow: Cd(II)]Ni(II).

Removal of heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Pb2+and Ni2+) from aqueous solution by raw and modified diatomite was investigated in a batch reactor. The diatomite was modified by acid-wash and base-wash, respectively. The influence of kind of diatomite, contact time and initial concentration of metal ions on the adsorption efficiency were studied. The results showed that the acid-washed diatomite showed the best adsorption capacity for all of Cu2+, Pb2+and Ni2+) among raw, acid-washed and base-washed diatomites. Metal ions adsorption amount on A-diatomite increased in the initial concentration range from 10 to 50ppm and in general kept constant after the initial concentration was higher than 60ppm. The result also indicated that Ni2+is more easily adsorbed on the surface of diatomite than Pb2+and Cu2+.

Discharge of copper(II) and lead(II) ions into rivers and streams by industries and other human activities has gained serious consideration from regulatory bodies. These toxic metals are harmful to human beings and aquatic life when in high concentrations. Therefore, their removal from wastewater is very important. Hence, this work reports the binary adsorption of toxic metal ions of Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution by pristine and modified fennel seeds. Pristine fennel seeds (PFS) were treated with acidic and alkaline solutions to develop modified adsorbents designated ATFS and BTFS, respectively. SEM images revealed that PFS had an amorphous surface with irregular cavities. However, upon acid and base treatment, the surface was more refined. The ATFS had interconnected pores while BTFS had somewhat honeycomb pores. The UV-Vis results confirmed that some of the components were removed from PFS during acid and base pre-treatment. FTIR spectra revealed that the adsorbents had functional groups such as (-OH) and (-C=O), which were involved in the uptake of the metal ions. It was observed that the uptake of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions onto all adsorbents progressively increased when the initial concentration of the solution was increased. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained when the initial concentration of the solution was 100 mg/L. The uptake of Cu(II) and Pb(II) on PFS was 3.345 and 11.524 mg/g. While for ATFS 3.78 and 13.07 mg/g and BTFS 8.143 and 14.85 mg/g, respectively. It was observed that the isotherm data fitted Freundlich better for the uptake of both metal ions onto all adsorbents. It was observed that there was a rapid uptake when contact time increased from 5 to 60 min. However, when time increased above 60 min the uptake stabilized and reached equilibrium this was due to the saturation of active sites on the surface for all adsorbents. The kinetics study revealed that PSO fitted the data better than PFO. IPD data revealed that the uptake of metal ions was controlled by the synergistic of ESA and EPA. The ΔHº values for Cu(II) and Pb(II) uptake onto all adsorbents were all negative. This suggested that the reactions were exothermic.

The Stability

In this study, the usage of the peppermint (Mentha piperita) for extracting the metal ions [Mg (II), Cr (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)] that exist at water was investigated. In order to analyze the stability properties, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were used at removing the metal ions and the highest correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained at Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, it is seen that the Langmuir model is more proper than the Freundlich model. However, it was found that the correlation coefficients of removing Ni and Cd is higher at Freundlich model than Langmuir and low at Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. It is established that the biosorption amount increase depends on the increase of biosorbent and it can be achieved high efficiency (95%) even with small amount (0.6 mg, peppermint extract) at lead ions. It is also determined that the peppermint extracted that is used at this study shows high biosorption capacity for metal ions and can be used for immobilization of metals from polluted areas.

Hazardous Metal

Stabilization of the hazardous materials by the Fe3O4-coating method was studied. In the ferrite-formation reaction in the aqueous solution, the adsorption of the metal ions and the oxidation of the adsorbed Fe(II) ions are repeated on the surface of the ferrite particles. This reaction was adopted to the coating of the hazardous materials with the Fe3O4(or ferrite). By repeating the two steps of l)the addition of the Fe(II) aqueous solution into the suspension of the hazardous materials, and 2)the oxidation by passing air through the reaction suspension, with the Fe3O4 layer, we could coat the surfaces of the hazardous materials, such as the heavy metal sludge from the neutralization-precipitation process, the CaF2 precipitates in the treatment of the waste waters containing fluoride ion along with hazardous metal ions, and the soils containing Cd(II) ion. These Fe3O4-coated hazardous materials are very stable and no heavy metal ions are leached under the normal environmental conditions. The ferrite sludges formed in the “Ferrite Process” were highly stabilized by the present method, and by the heat-treatment.

The photocatalytic activity of Nanopillars-TiO2 thin films was assessed in the degradation of Bromophenol blue (BPB) dye from aqueous solution under batch reactor operations. The thin films were characterized by the XRD, SEM and AFM analytical methods. BET specific surface area and pore sizes were also obtained. The XRD data showed anatase phase of TiO2 particles with average particle size of 25.4 and 21.9 nm, for S1 and S2 catalysts respectively. The SEM and AFM images indicated the catalyst composed with Nanosized pillars of TiO2, evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate. The average height of the pillars was found to be 180 and 40 nm respectively for the S1 and S2 catalyst. The BET specific surface area and pore sizes of S1 and S2 catalyst were found to be 5.217 and 1.420 m2/g and 7.77 and 4.16 nm respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of BPB using the UV light was studied at wide range of physico-chemical parametric studies to determine the mechanism of degradation as well as the practical applicability of the technique. The batch reactor operations were conducted at varied pH (pH 4.0 to 10.0), BPB initial concentration (1.0 to 20.0 mg/L) and presence of several interfering ions, i.e., cadmium nitrate, copper sulfate, zinc chloride, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, glycine, oxalic acid and EDTA in the photocatalytic degradation of BPB. The maximum percent removal of BPB was observed at pH 6.0 and a low initial concentration of the pollutant highly favours the photocatalytic degradation using thin films. The presence of several interfering ions suppressed the photocatalytic activity of thin films to some extent. The time dependence photocatalytic degradation of BPB was demonstrated with the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. Study was further extended with total organic carbon measurement using the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analysis. This demonstrated an apparent mineralization of BPB from aqueous solutions.
