Background: Coal gangue was used as a catalyst in heterogeneous Fenton process for the degradation of azo dye and phenol. The influencing factors, such as solution pH gangue concentration and hydrogen peroxide dosage were investigated, and the reaction mechanism between coal gangue and hydrogen peroxide was also discussed. Methods: Experimental results showed that coal gangue has the ability to activate hydrogen peroxide to degrade environmental pollutants in aqueous solution. Under optimal conditions, after 60 minutes of treatment, more than 90.57% of reactive red dye was removed, and the removal efficiency of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) up to 72.83%. Results: Both hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical anion participated in the degradation of organic pollutant but hydroxyl radical predominated. Stability tests for coal gangue were also carried out via the continuous degradation experiment and ion leakage analysis. After five times continuous degradation, dye removal rate decreased slightly and the leached Fe was still at very low level (2.24-3.02 mg L-1). The results of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (EDS) and X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) indicated that coal gangue catalyst is stable after five times continuous reuse. Conclusion: The progress in this research suggested that coal gangue is a potential nature catalyst for the efficient degradation of organic pollutant in water and wastewater via the Fenton reaction.

This paper presents the adsorption behaviors of humic acid (HA) on coal ashes and powdered activated carbons (PACs). A bituminous coal, with or without calcium-loading, was used as a feedstock for coal ash preparation. The working solution of HA with a concentration of 20 mg/L was used in all adsorption tests. The results showed that calcium-enriched coal ash (CECA) gave rise to the removal rate of HA as high as 84.05%, much higher than those of raw coal ash (RCA) and PACs. The impacts of solution pH and adsorbent dosage on HA adsorption capacity were also investigated. It was found that lower pH facilitated to the removal of HA from aqueous solution by means of CECA, and the optimal CECA dosage was about 1.0g/L at pH 7.00. The data obtained in this study suggested that calcium-enriched coal ash could be useful and cost-effective in the treatment of wastewaters containing HA-like organic macro-molecules.

Abstract This study dealt with preparation of the activated carbon derived from active sludge as an adsorbent for the adsorption of crystal violet (CV) from aqueous solution. The waste active sludge was activated chemically with KOH and carbonized to get activated carbon with a large surface area and a high porosity. The activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) instrument, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adsorption of CV from aqueous solution onto the activated carbon was investigated under varying conditions, such as adsorbent dosage (1–6 g/L), solution pH (4–9), contact time period (0–150 min), initial dye concentration (20–100 mg/L), and temperature (25–55 °C). 4.0 g/L of adsorbent dosage was chosen as the optimum level due to having a high removal rate (96.2%) (initial CV concentration 60 mg/L; 150 rpm; pH 6; 25 °C). The adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherms were well described by the pseudo second order kinetic and the Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption is a spontaneous process and favored at higher temperatures. The results show that the activated carbon derived from active sludge could be employed as a low-cost material for the removal of CV dye.

MnO2-loaded D301 weak basic anion exchange resin was used as adsorbent to simultaneously remove Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ andCu2+ from aqueous solution contained high concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals ions. The effects of solution pH and coexistent ions on the adsorption were investigated. The results indicated that Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ andCu2+ can be simultaneously removed in the wide pH range of 3 to 8. The coexistence of PO43− decreased the heavy metal ions removal rate, but for other high concentrations coexistence cations and anions such as Na+, K+, Cl−, NO3−, SO42− and HCO3−, there is no significant impact on removal rate of heavy metals. The adsorption isotherm can be well described by Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo first-order kinetics model. High adsorption capacity makes it a good promising candidate material for simultaneous removal of Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ andCu2+ from aqueous solution with the co-existence of high concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals ions.

Adsorption Desorption

A novel kind of iron oxide supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was prepared for adsorption of antimony (Sb)(III) in aqueous solution. The iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3)-modified CNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Parameters affecting the adsorption efficiencies, including solution pH value, initial Sb(III) concentration, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time and temperature, were investigated. The results indicate that the removal rate of Sb(III) by Fe2O3-modified CNTs is 99.97% under the initial Sb(III) concentration of 1.5 mg/L, adsorbents dosage of 0.5 g/L, temperature of 25 oC and pH value of 7.00, which is 29.81% higher than that of the raw CNTs. The adsorption capacity increased correspondingly from 3.01 to 6.23 mg/g. The equilibrium adsorption data can be fitted to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. In addition, it has been found that the solution pH values and adsorption temperatures have no significant influence on Sb(III) removal.

This present study focuses on the synthesis of a new modified eco-friendly adsorbent, spent tea (ST, discarded Camellia sinensis leaves), and its application in the adsorption of Aspirin from aqueous solution by batch adsorption technique. This is an effort in shifting towards new substitutes that are both inexpensive and highly efficient, such as agricultural waste materials as an alternative of the commonly used adsorbent material, activated carbon. The ST will first undergo an acid treatment using phosphoric acid, and subsequently modified with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) using Glutaraldehyde (GA) as the cross-linker. Aspirin removal efficiency was compared between the untreated spent tea (ST) and new PEI modified acid treated spent tea (TA-PEI). Effects of ratio of acid treated spent tea (TA) and PEI (1:1, 1:2,1:3, 2:1,3:1), and GA concentration (0,0.5,1.0,2.0,3.0, and 4.0 v/v%) were investigated. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of the modified adsorbent, TA-PEI are TA: PEI ratio of 1:2, and 0.5(v/v %) of GA. Afterwards, the untreated ST and TA-PEI were tested to determine the effect of contact time on Aspirin adsorption. It was found that TA-PEI shows great removal effectiveness - up to 64.70% before reaching equilibrium after 30min of contact time. Nevertheless, ST only shows removal of 1% and after 15min, there is no appreciable adsorption. These results suggested that TA-PEI has high potential to be used as an effective adsorbent for Aspirin removal. In the future, TA-PEI will undergo further research to investigate the effects of different adsorbent dosage, solution pH, initial concentration, solution temperature, and contact time. Several analysis (FTIR, SEM, CHNS, BET and point of zero charge) has to be done as well to get a better understanding of its properties and the adsorption mechanisms

Sonochemical degradation of the antibiotics chloramphenicol in aqueous solution with sodium peroxydisulfate sulphate (SPDS) enhancement was investigated. The preliminary studies of optimal degradation methodology were conducted with sole SPDS, cobalt activated SPDS (SPDS/Co2+), ultrasonication with SPDS (SPDS/US) and ultrasonication with cobalt activated SPDS (SPDS/Co2+/US). The effect of the initial pH values of the aqueous solution on the sonochemical degradation rate of chloramphenicol was also investigated. The results showed that the sonolysis of chloramphenicol can be accelerated remarkably by adding SPDS and the efficient treatment method for treating the chloramphenicol wastewater was ultrasound coupled cobalt activated SPDS. The ultrasonic degradation rate constants in acidic water are higher than those obtained in neutral or basic aqueous solutions.

Heavy metals pollution receives worldwide attention due to great toxicity, significant bio-accumulation and non-biodegradability. Adsorption is a promising technique for removing heavy metals from wastewater. Adsorption of zinc (Zn(II)) from aqueous solution was investigated by functionalized lignocellulose derived from fallen leaves. Alkalized lignocellulose (AC), xanthated lignocellulose (XC) and carboxylated lignocellulose (CC) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of sorbent dosage, solution pH, sorption time and initial Zn(II) concentration on Zn(II) sorption was investigated by single-factor experiment. Sorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were examined to reveal sorption mechanism. The sorption capacity and removal rate remarkably depend on experimental variables. Zn(II) sorption onto AC, XC and CC is well described by the pseudo second order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm. The sorption process is fast, reaching sorption equilibrium at 30 min. The maximum sorption capacity of Zn(II) onto CC is 46.49 mg/g, higher than that onto AC, XC and other reported sorbents. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that Zn(II) sorption is a spontaneous process. Sorption mechanism is majorly attributed to surface complexation. This work shows the feasibility of removing toxic Zn(II) from aqueous solution by locally available biomass, providing a sustainable approach for wastewater treatment.
