The Pleurotus spent mushroom compost was selected as biosorbent to sorption Mn(II) ions. The Mn(II) ions biosorption was investigated under batch experiments. The influences of pH, contact time and initial Mn(II) concentration were also investigated. The optimum Mn(II) ions biosorption was achieved at pH 6, 20 minutes of contact time and 10 mg/L of initial Mn(II) concentration using 1.0 g biosorbent dosage. The Mn(II) ions biosorption experimental data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetic model. As conclusion, the Pleurotus spent mushroom compost can be used to sorption the Mn(II) ions from the aqueous solution.

AbstractThe removal of enrofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, from aqueous solution by adsorption onto bentonite was investigated in this study. The effects of initial concentrations, contact time and temperature on the adsorption of enrofloxacin were studied via batch experiments. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 60 min for all studied concentrations. The adsorption capacity increased with the increase of initial concentration within a concentration range. Higher temperatures were favourable for the adsorption. The change of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), change of enthalpy (ΔH°) and change of entropy (ΔS°) were evaluated and the results indicate that the adsorption should be an endothermic and spontaneous process. The Langmuir isotherm model fitted to the experimental data better than the Freundlich model. The adsorption follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model.

Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was prepared by reduction of Ag+ion with ethanol at alkaline condition on kaolin surface. Nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TEM, and BET methods. Results showed the Ag/kaolin composite has particle size 50 nm. The surface area was increased from kaolin to Ag/kaolin from 1.0215 to 7.409 m2 g−1, respectively. Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was used for adsorption of acid cyanine 5R (AC5R) from aqueous solution. The effect of parameters such as contact time, pH, and mass of nano composite has been investigated. The maximum percentage of adsorption of AC5R was found at pH 3 and contact time of 60 min. The higher percentage removal of AC5R by Ag/kaolin than kaolin can be attributed to catalytic activity of Ag on the surface of kaolin. The experimental data was fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm data could be well interpreted by Langmuir isotherm model. From the results of thermodynamic study, the adsorption process of AC5R onto Ag/kaolin nanocomposite was spontaneous and endothermic process. The process is clean and safe for purifying of water pollution.

Pretreated waste Streptomyces fradiae biomass was utilized as an eco-friendly sorbent for Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of pH, biosorbent dosage, initial concentration of adsorbates, contact time and temperature on the biosorption of the two dyes. The equilibrium adsorption data were analysed using Freundlich and Langmuir models. Both models fitted well the experimental data. The maximum biosorption capacity of the pretreated Streptomyces fradiae biomass was 46.64 mg g-1 for CR and 59.63 mg g-1 for MB, at a pH 6.0, with the contact time of 120 min, the biosorbent dosage of 2 g dm-3 and the temperature of 298 K. Lagergren and Ho kinetic models were used to analyse the kinetic data obtained from different batch experiments. The biosorption of both dyes followed better the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The calculated values for ?G, ?S, and ?H indicated that the biosorption of CR and MB onto the waste pretreated biomass was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic in the selected temperature range and conditions.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) was converted into water insoluble konjac glucomannan (WIKGM) by treating with NaOH through completely deacetylated reaction. Adsorption study was carried out for the adsorption of Pb2+ from aqueous solution using water insoluble konjac glucomannan. The influences of pH, contact time, temperature and initial Pb2+ concentration on the absorbent were studied. Results of kinetic data showed that the Pb2+ adsorption rate was fast and good correlation coefficients were obtained for the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium process was described well by the Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 9.18 mg/g on WIKGM at 25°C.

Phosphorus flame retardant tricresyl phosphate (TCP) adsorption on graphene nanomaterials from aqueous solutions was explored using batch and column modes. Comparative studies were performed regarding the kinetics and equilibrium of TCP adsorption on graphene oxide (GO) and graphene (G) in batch mode. The adsorption kinetics exhibited a rapid TCP uptake, and experimental data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption isotherm data of TCP on the two adsorbents displayed an improved TCP removal performance with increasing temperature at pH 5, while experimental data were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 87.7 mg·g−1 for G, and 30.7 mg·g−1 for GO) at 303 K. The thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption reaction is a spontaneous and endothermic process. In addition, dynamic adsorption of TCP in a fixed G column confirmed a faster approach to breakthrough at high flow rate, high influent TCP concentration, and low filling height of adsorbent. Breakthrough data were successfully described by the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models.

In the present study we explored the adsorptive characteristics of 4-nitroaniline from synthetic aqueous solution onto bagasse fly ash (BFA). Batch experiments were carried out to determine the influence of parameters like initial pH (pH0), adsorbent dose (m), contact time (t) and initial concentration (C0) on the removal of 4-nitroaniline. The maximum removal of 4-nitroaniline was determined to be 98% at lower concentrations (50 mg/L) and 41% at higher concentrations (300 mg/L), using a BFA dosage of 10 g/L at 303K. Kinetic study of 4-nitroaniline removal by BFA was well represented by pseudo second-order kinetic model. The 4-nitroaniline desorption from 4-nitroaniline loaded BFA shows that only 27% and 36% of 4-nitroaniline could be recovered using ethyl alcohol and acetone respectively.

This research aims to assess the efficiency of the synthesized corncob as a cost-effective and eco-friendly adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals. Therefore, to carry out the intended research project, initially, the corncob was doped with nanoparticles to increase its efficiency or adsorption capacity. The prepared adsorbent was evaluated for the adsorption of cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) from aqueous media with the batch experiment method. Factors that affect the adsorption process are pH, initial concentration, contact time and adsorbent dose. The analysis of Cd and Cr was performed by using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), while the characterization of the adsorbent was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that there is a significant difference before and after corncob activation and doping with CeO2 nanoparticles. The maximum removal for both Cd and Cr was at a basic pH with a contact time of 60 min at 120 rpm, which is 95% for Cd and 88% for Cr, respectively. To analyze the experimental data, a pseudo-first-order kinetic model, pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and intra-particle diffusion model were used. The kinetic adsorption studies confirmed that the experimental data were best fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.989) and intra-particle diffusion model (R2 = 0.979). This work demonstrates that the cerium oxide/corncob nanocomposite is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the removal of Cd and Cr from wastewater.

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.

Natural kaolinite clay collected in the State of Sergipe (northeast Brazil) was used as an adsorbent for the ions Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+present in aqueous solution. Adsorption equilibrium was reached rapidly, enabling use of a contact time of 30 minutes, and maximum adsorption was achieved at pH 7.0. For all three metal ions, the adsorption data could be fitted using the Langmuir isotherm and the adsorption process obeyed a pseudo-second order kinetic model.
