The high levels of Fe2+ metal ion in water can be reduced by adsorption process. The adsorbent used is a composite of chitosan activated carbon. The composites were prepared by adding 1.5 g of activated carbon into chitosan solution 1.5% (w/v). The gels of chitosan activated carbon were then dropped into a 2.8% NaOH solution mixture to produce composite beads. The beads were neutralized using aquadest and dried in an oven at 50oC for 2 hours. The dried bead was used as adsorbent. The adsorption process was carried out with erlenmeyer in shaker bath with 0.5 g, 1 g, and 1.5 g at 25oC, 35oC and 45oC in 50 mL solution of Fe2+ metal ion having concentration of 10 ppm. Sample were taken in 5, 10, 20, 40 60, 80 and 120 min. Adsorbent were characterized by SEM and EDX. The composite beads adsorbent was analyzed by SEM and EDX. SEM results show that chitosan was successfully coated on activated carbon with a porous surface structure. The EDX results show that chitosan activated carbon composite beads can absorb Fe2+ metal ions, with an adsorption capacity of 88.3% at 60 min in 1.5 g adsorbent dose.

This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of metals (Pb and Co) removal from solution using Detarium microcarpum seeds as adsorbent. The effect of initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption process of these metals were studied, the percentage removal of these metals increased with increased in weight (0.5 -2.5g) in 50ml of the solution and the adsorption efficiency increased with increasing initial metal ion concentration (0.01-0.05 moldm−3). The percentage removal obtained for Lead and Cobalt were compared. The result of adsorption were fitted to Langmuir models and coefficients indicated favorable adsorption of Pb2+ and Co2+ ions on the adsorbents. The adsorption of Pb2+ and Co2+ in aqueous solution was in the following order (1400µm>420µm>150µm). More than 55.4% of studied Lead cations were removed by 1400µm, 47.2% by 420µm and 29.8% by 150µm. While for Cobalt cations only 53.2% by 1400µm, 38.6% by 420µm and 24% by 150µm respectively, from aqueous solution it was concluded that, activated Carbon derived from Detarium microcarpum seed is good in removing both lead and cobalt ions, which make it good absorbent.

Activated carbon was successfully generated from the mixture of corn cob and petai hull which served as adsorbents for Pb (II) ion removal at an aqueous solution. The activation was done using KOH at 800°C carbonization temperature. Synthetic waste used in the various concentration of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm. The adsorption process was carried out at 30 minutes, the ratio of adsorbent mass was grouped as B (1:3 corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), C (1:1 corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), D (3:1, corn cobnative activated carbon/petai hullnative activated carbon), and H (1:1, corn cobmodifiedactivated carbon/petai hullmodifiedactivated carbon). The results showed that the highest adsorption capacity was found in H adsorbent that was 2,368 mg/g at concentration 300 ppm. Dubinin model fit the adsorption isotherms of B, C, D, and H.

Abstract In this study, a novel activated carbon adsorbent from the press mud of a sugarcane industry was used to remove methyl orange dye (MOD) from aqueous solution and was optimized via response surface methodology using the central composite design. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis and showed the presence of functional groups such as alcohols, nitriles, amides, alkane, alkyl halides, and alkenes, and it also showed fibrous surface morphological appearance. The factors affecting MOD adsorption, such as initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time were examined, and optimal pH 2.0 to remove MOD in an aqueous solution that is found in various studies is also utilized. The results showed maximum MOD removal rate of 98.68% when the initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time were optimally set as 24.17 mg/L, 0.5 g, and 20 min, respectively. The analysis of the equilibrium data revealed that MOD adsorption using press mud activated carbon best fitted the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.96103) which implies monolayer adsorption process. Also, the kinetics of MOD adsorption using press mud activated carbon followed a pseudo-first-order model (R2 = 0.96096) which means that the active sites are proportional to the non-active sites during the adsorption process.

ZSM-5 zeolite was chemical activated by using NaOH solution to enhance the adsorption efficiency to Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The equilibrium isotherm of NaOH activated ZSM-5 zeolite showed that the Langmuir model gave a better fit to the experimental data. The maximum adsorption capacity of NaOH activated ZSM-5 zeolite was 40.49 mg/g. The adsorption capacity was increased nearly 3.3 times than unactivated zeolite by using 0.4M NaOH. The kinetics study showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model could be used to describe the adsorption process satisfactorily. The research also found that the coexisting of Pb2+ ion would greatly decrease the adsorption efficiency of activated zeolite from 99.35% decreased to 56.52%. Both ZSM-5 zeolite and NaOH activated ZSM-5 zeolite was characterized by SEM.

The aim of this research is the study of physico-chemical properties activated carbon prepared from agricultural by product such as Neem Seed Husk (NSH) which is abundantly available in our environment The Activated Carbon (AC) was prepared using H3PO4 as activating agent and carbonized at 300°C for two hours. The results shows that the activated process was successful and can compete favorably with commercial activated carbon. The prepared activated carbon was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersion X-ray (EDX) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The percentage removal of Cr(VI) increased with increase in process parameters such as adsorbent dose, time and temperature while there was a decrease with increase in pH and Initial concentration. It was established from the results that activated carbon produced from Neem seed husk has adsorption capacity which could remove 99.75% Cr (VI) at optimum process conditions (pH-2.0, Cr(VI) concentration-10 mg/L, adsorbent dose 0.5 g/L, Temperature 70 c and contact time 30 mins.). Thus, the adsorption method using activated carbon produced from biomass was used effectively for removing Cr(VI) in a stock solution, seems to be an economical and worthwhile alternative over other conventional methods, because of it availability, low price and multi-purposes. The adsorption data fitted well into Freundlich and Langmuir with correlation coefficient (R2) 0.9522 and 0.9403 respectively. The kinetics of the adsorption process was tested through pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best correlation for with (R2) 0.993, while the pseudo-first-order was found to be 0.928. The study provided an effective use of low-cost activated carbon as a valuable source of adsorbents for the removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution.

Dyes are complex organic compounds which are used by various industries to add colour to their products. Water bodies are polluted when these industries dispose their effluents to the environment. In this study, powdered activated carbon was prepared from rubber seed shells (RSS) and was employed in the removal of crystal violet from aqueous solution. The rubber seed shell was first activated using ammonium chloride, shared into two portions and was carbonized at 500 and 300o C respectively. They were characterized in terms of bulk density, ash and moisture contents, surface area and IR Spectroscopy. Batch adsorption process which involved the use of these rubber seed shells was employed in the removal of crystal violet from aqueous solution. The effect of contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and dye concentration were investigated. The results showed that o maximum adsorption capacity of 500 C carbonized rubber seed shell was 97.93 % at 75 mins. The adsorbent dose, pH and optimum concentration were respectively 5.0 g, 10 and 10 mg/l. The maximum adsorption  capacity of 300o C carbonized rubber seed shell was 96.73 % at 30 mins with an adsorbent dose of 5.0 g; pH of 10 and optimum concentration of 10 mg/l. The experimental data obtained were fitted into Freundlich,Langmuir, Temkin and Frumkin adsorption isotherms and was found to fit into the four isotherms. However,  the rubber seed shell carbonized at 500o C was found to be more effective in the removal of crystal violet from o aqueous solution than that carbonized at 300o C. This might probably be due to the larger surface area. Keywords: Activated Carbon, Rubber Seed Shell and Crystal Violet

A composite chitosan/nano-activated carbon (CS-NAC) aminated by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) was prepared in the form of beads and applied for the removal of acetaminophen from aqueous solutions. NAC and APTES concentrations were optimized to obtain a suitable adsorbent structure for enhanced removal of the pharmaceutical. The aminated adsorbent (CS-NAC-APTES beads) prepared with 40% w/w NAC and 2% v/v APTES showed higher adsorption capacity (407.83 mg/g) than CS-NAC beads (278.4 mg/g). Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis demonstrated that the surface area of the CS-NAC-APTES beads was larger than that of CS-NAC beads (1.16 times). The adsorption process was well fitted by the Freundlich model (R2 > 0.95), suggesting a multilayer adsorption. The kinetic study also substantiated that the pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.98) was in better agreement with the experimental data. Finally, it was proved that the prepared beads can be recycled (by washing with NaOH solution) at least 5 times before detectable performance loss.

Activated carbon prepared from Ricinus communis Pericarp was used to remove Ni(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption. Batch mode adsorption experiments are carried out by varying contact time, metal-ion concentration, carbon concentration and pH to assess kinetic and equilibrium parameters. The adsorption data were modeled by using both Langmuir and Freundlich classical adsorption isotherms. The adsorption capacity (Qo) calculated from the Langmuir isotherm was 31.15 mg/g of activated carbon at initial pH of 5.0±0.2 for the particle size 125-250 µm.
