Zeolite-attapulgite nano-pore structure ceramisite was prepared using natural zeolite and attapulgite through compounding, granulation and calcination.After elementary characterization of this ceramisite by mercury porosimeter, batch tests were carried out to examine its removal mechanism of ammonia. The influences of pH, contact time, initial ammonia concentration and temperature on the ammonia removal were investigated. The optimum pH for adsorption of ammonia was found to be less than 7. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second order rate model. Adsorption isotherm studies showed that Freundlich model fitted the experimental data. The sorption of ammonia increased with the rise of temperature because adsorption process was endothermic. The zeolite-attapulgite composite nano- pore structure ceramisite shows very good promise for practical applicability of ammonia removal from aqueous solution.

Diatomite-attapulgite composite nano-size adsorbent was prepared using natural diatomite and attapulgite through compounding, granulation, calcination and activation. After elementary characterization of this adsorbent by mercury porosimeter, batch tests were carried out to examine its removal mechanism of brilliant green. The influence of adsorbent concentration, contact time, pH, temperature and initial brilliant green concentration on the dye removal were investigated. Increase in adsorbent dosage led to increase in brilliant green adsorption due to increased number of adsorption sites. Maximum adsorption of brilliant green was found at adsorbent dosage of 100 g/L. Adsorption equilibrium attained within 2 h time. The pH variation studies showed that the adsorption process was highly pH dependent. The optimum pH for adsorption of brilliant green was found to be >7. The sorption of brilliant green decreased with the rise of temperature because adsorption process was exothermic. Adsorption isotherm studies showed that Langmuir model fitted the experimental data better than Freundlich model.

The flesh ash (F) was grafted with diethylenetriamine (DETAF), triethylenetetramine (TETAF) and polyethylene polyamine (HPAXF), respectively. A comparative study of Cu2+ and Pb2+ removal from aqueous solution using F, DETAF, TETAF and HPAXF was performed. Effects of liquid-solid ratio, temperature and time on adsorption capacity were studied. Batch tests were carried out to investigate the adsorption performance. The process of Cu2+ and Pb2+ onto DETAF, TETAF and HPAXF both fitted well with Lagergren pseudo-second-order model, The isothermal of Cu2+ and Pb2+ adsorption onto DETAF, TETAF and HPAXF can be described by Freundlich model.

This work describes the removal of tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solution using a mesoporous alumina (meso-Al2O3) as adsorbent in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation. Adsorption of TC was investigated under various operating conditions, including pH, adsorbent dosage, ultrasound power, and initial TC concentration. The results showed that the rate of TC sorption was enhanced with the assistance of ultrasound. The TC removal increased with the increase in sorbent dosage, pH and ultrasound power, but decreased with the increase in initial TC concentration. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted properly with the Freundlich model under ultrasonic irradiation, and the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

A novel bentonite-biochar (APB) composite was prepared by incorporating bentonite (BE) with Alternanthera philoxeroides (AP) biochar for the adsorptive removal of Cd(II) from aqueous media. The APB and the pristine biochar (PB) prepared from the AP were produced at 300 °C under a nitrogen environment. The adsorption capabilities of the BE, PB, and APB were tested for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The results showed that the pH substantially affected the adsorption of Cd(II) by the PB and APB. The adsorptive capacity of the Cd(II) onto the PB and APB gradually increased as the pH was increased to 6.0, and there was no significant change in adsorption as the pH was further increased to 8.0. The adsorption kinetic data of the PB and APB were fitted to a pseudo-second-order (PSO) adsorption kinetic model and an intraparticle diffusion (ID) model. The Freundlich model matched the experimental data better than the Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption was heterogeneous. Thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption was mainly physisorption, and the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous, while the orderliness of all adsorption systems decreased. The results demonstrated that the APB was an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous media.

A new medium, eggshell powder has been developed for fluoride removal from aqueous solution. Fluoride adsorption was studied in a batch system where adsorption was found to be pH dependent with maximum removal efficiency at 6.0. The experimental data was more satisfactorily fitted with Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetics and the factor controlling adsorption process fully accepted by pseudo-second-order model were also discussed. Eawas found to be 45.98 kJmol-1by using Arrhenius equation, indicating chemisorption nature of fluoride onto eggshell powder. Thermodynamic study showed spontaneous nature and feasibility of the adsorption process with negative enthalpy (∆H0) value also supported the exothermic nature. Batch experiments were performed to study the applicability of the adsorbent by using fluoride contaminated water collected from affected areas. These results indicate that eggshell powder can be used as an effective, low-cost adsorbent to remove fluoride from aqueous solution as well as groundwater.

Zeolite analcime (EMANA) was synthesized through the hydrothermal method by using carbothermal reduction electrolytic manganese residue (CR-EMR). The structural properties of EMANA and CR-EMR were studied using various characterization techniques. After hydrothermal synthesis, the CR-EMR became super-microporous, and the surface area increased by 4.76 times than before. Among the various synthesized zeolites, 6 h-synthesized EMANA was selected as the best adsorbent for macrolide antibiotics in aqueous solution. The adsorption performance of EMANA on the adsorption capacity was examined by using various experimental parameters, such as contact time (0–24 h), initial concentration (50–300 mg/L), temperature (30–50 °C) and pH (3–13). The experimental results were also analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models, with the latter obtaining better representation. The adsorption process could be described well by the pseudo-second-order model, even under a low concentration (50 mg/L). This result suggests that the adsorption process of macrolide antibiotics is due to chemisorption. According to the Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results, the adsorption of zeolite was mainly due to its hydroxyl group, which played an important role during the adsorption process. Moreover, EMANA is more suitable for treatment of roxithromycin (ROX) than azithromycin (AZM), because ROX has more adsorption sites for the hydroxyl group.

The Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite was synthesized by the coprecipitation-ultrasonication method. The reaction was carried out under a inert gas environment. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques (VSM), the surface area of the nanoparticles was determined to be 77.92 m2/g by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The kinetic data showed that the adsorption process fitted with the pseudo-second order model. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics and mechanisms of Cr(VI) by Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite. The adsorption process was found to be highly pH-dependent, which made the material selectively adsorb these metals from aqueous solution. The isotherms of adsorption were also studied using Langmuir and Freundlich equations in linear forms. It is found that the Langmuir equation showed better linear correlation with the experimental data than the Freundlich. The thermodynamics of Cr(VI) adsorption onto the Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite indicated that the adsorption was exothermic. The reusability study has proven that Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite can be employed as a low-cost and easy to separate.

Lanthanum has been doped onto the surface of the natural Pyrolusite for simultaneous removal of phosphate and fluoride in aqueous solution. The adsorbent characterization of the materials was observed by the SEM, BET, and XRD techniques. The dynamics and isotherms models of fluoride and phosphate adsorption, with respect to pH, pHPZC, adsorbent dose, and effect of coexisting ions, were studied. The results showed that lanthanum doped Pyrolusite ore (LDPO) relatively highly adsorbed amount of phosphate and fluoride from aqueous solution. Phosphate and fluoride removal efficiencies of LDPO are approximately 97% and 95%, respectively. Pseudo-first order for kinetic studies of phosphate and fluoride removal of the LDPO was observed with high correlations for fluoride but weak correlations for phosphate. However, pseudo-second order for kinetic studies was high correlation for both phosphate and fluoride. The phosphate and fluoride adsorption capacities of the LDPO significantly decreased with the existence of coions (sulfate, chloride, and nitrate) in the aqueous solution.

Batch tests were used to investigate the effects of pH and contact time on the adsorption capability of peat. The results indicate that adsorption of uranyl ions on peat increase with increasing pH from 1 to 5. However it takes longer contact time to reach the adsorption equilibrium with increase of pH from 1 to 5. The adsorption process can be described by type 1 of the pseudo-second-order kinetics excellently.
