Adsorption of Cr6+ onto purified attapulgite was investigated with respect to temperature, initial concentration and contact time. The kinetics data related to the adsorption of chromium from aqueous solutions are in good agreement with the pseudo-second order equation in ranges of initial concentration of 20~200 mg/L, and temperature of 298~328K. The thermodynamic experiment results show that the equilibrium adsorption isotherm was closely fitted with the Langmuir model.

Modified magnetic microspheres were prepared and used to adsorb As ( ) from aqueous solution. The experiments were conducted in a batch system to study the adsorption behavior of As( ) onto these microspheres and the adsorption equilibrium, adsorption isotherm and kinetics were also studied. The experiment results showed that the modified magnetic microspheres are effective to remove As ( ) from aqueous solution, and the percentage removal of As ( ) could reach over 90% at pH 2.0 within 90 min. The pseudo second-order model was found to fit accurately with the experimental data. The adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model.

In this work, the biosorption of As(V) from aqueous solutions by living cells of Bacillus cereus has been reported. The batch biosorption experiments were conducted with respect to biosorbent dosage 0.5 to 15 g/L, pH 2 to 9, contact time 5 to 90 min, initial concentration 1 to 10 mg/L and temperature 10 to 40 °C. The maximum biosorption capacity of B. cereus for As(V) was found to be 30.04 at pH 7.0, at optimum conditions of contact time of 30 min, biomass dosage of 6 g/L, and temperature of 30 ± 2 °C. Biosorption data were fitted to linearly transformed Langmuir isotherms with R2 (correlation coefficient) >0.99. Bacillus cereus cell surface was characterized using AFM and FTIR. The metal ions were desorbed from B. cereus using both 1 M HCl and 1 M HNO3. The pseudo-second-order model was successfully applied to predict the rate constant of biosorption.

Equilibrium adsorption isotherm for the removal of trifluralin from aqueous solutions using ? –alumina clay has been studied. The result shows that the isotherms were S3 according Giels classification. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, effect of pH and temperature of trifluralin on the adsorption capacities have been investigated. The adsorption isotherms were obtained by obeying freundlich adsorption isotherm with (R2 = 0.91249-0.8149). The thermodynamic parameters have been calculated by using the adsorption process at five different temperature, the values of ?H, ?G and ?S were (_1.0625) kj. mol-1, (7.628 - 7.831) kj.mol-1 and (_2.7966 - _2.9162) kg. k-1. mol-1 respectively. The kinetic study of adsorption process has been studied depending on three kinetic equations: 1- Allergen equation 2- Morris –weber eguation 3- Reichenberg eguation. In general, the result shows the isotherm were on ?- alumina according to Giels classification.? –alumina and thermodynamic

In this study, removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions by synthetic Mg-Al-HTlc was investigated as a function of contact time, EDTA and addition sequences at room temperature. It is found that HTlc could reduced copper ions concentration effectively. The kinetics closely fit pseudo-second order kinetics with necessary time 9 h to reach equilibrium. The sorption process followed langmuir model. The maximum sorption capacity calculated was found to be 39.4 mg/g. The presence of EDTA and addition sequences could affect sorption of Cu(II) onto HTlc.

Abstract Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and humic acid coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4/HA) were investigated for the removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution. Batch sorption experiments were studied as a function contact time, adsorbent mass, U(VI) concentration and pH. The sorption kinetic data follow the pseudo-second order while the isotherms are found to obey Langmuir model with maximum capacity (Qmax) of 230, 196 mg/g for Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/HA, respectively. The study reveals that humic acid decreases the sorption capacity due to the formation of a polyanionic organic coating and thus altering the surface properties of the particles and reduces the magnetite aggregation and stabilizes the magnetite suspension.

In this research, Polyaniline coated sawdust (Polyaniline nano composite) was synthesized via direct chemical polymerization and used as an adsorbent for the removal of acid dye (Acid Violet 49) from aqueous solutions. The effect of some important parameters such as pH, initial concentration of dye, contact time and temperature on the removal efficiency was investigated in batch adsorption system. The adsorption capacity of PAC was high (96.84 %) at a pH of 3-4. The experimental data fitted well for pseudo second order model. Langmuir model is more appropriate to explain the nature of adsorption with high correlation coefficient. The Energy of activation from arrehenius plot suggested that the adsorption of AV49 onto PAC involves physisorption mechanism.

The possible use of biowaste-banana skin as an alternative, low-cost biosorbent and reductant for removal of Cr from aqueous solutions was investigated. Effects of pH, contact time, Cr(VI) initial concentration and temperature on the reduction and biosorption of Cr by banana skin were studied. Experimental results showed that 1 g of dried banana skin could reduce about 230 mg of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), at the condition of 30°C, pH 2 and 300 rpm. The maximum Qeq of Cr(III) by banana skin was 6.3mg g-1 at the Cr(VI) initial concentration of 200mg L-1, 30°C , pH 2 and 300 rpm.

Chromium (VI) is known to be carcinogenic to humans and thus it is important to ensure the removal of Chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions and industrial effluents. The present study introduces a good alternative method for Cr (VI) removal from aqueous solutions at ambient temperature by adsorption, allowing the development of newer, lower operational cost, and more efficient technology than other processes already in use. Adsorption was found to be dependent on pH and initial concentration of Cr (VI) solution. Results of adsorption studies suggest that pristine iron oxide and silicon (IV) oxide removes 72.10% and 24.73%, respectively. The iron oxide – silicon (IV) oxide composite, prepared in this work, removes 93.88% Cr (VI) in 20 minutes from aqueous solution at an initial concentration of 50 mgL-1at pH 4.8 ± 0.2. The effect of concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose and solution pH on the adsorption of Cr (VI) were studied in detail in batch experiments. Studies of the sorption kinetics shows that equilibrium adsorption was attained in 20 minutes depending on other experimental conditions. The kinetic data justified Lagergren’s first-order kinetic equation. Adsorption isotherm study showed that the results fulfilled the Langmuir Model of adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption (98.28%) was recorded at pH 3 in 90 minutes for the initial Cr (VI) concentration of 50 mg L-1. Therefore, it can be concluded that iron oxide – silicon (IV) oxide composite is a potential adsorbent for adsorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution.

In the present work, cysteine-modified orange peel (COP) for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions has been developed and comparatively studied with diethylenetriamine-modified orange peel (DOP). Both COP and DOP were systematically evaluated via their capabilities for adsorbing Cu(II), including the key influential parameters such as initial pH, contact time and initial Cu(II) concentration. Further studies suggest that the sorption of Cu(II) onto both COP and DOP fits well with the pseudo-second-order equation, and the corresponding sorption isotherm can be classified to a Langmuir isotherm model. COP appears more advantageous over DOP and far better than that of unmodified OP in removal of Cu(II) from aqueous system. The maximum capacities of COP and DOP for adsorbing Cu(II) are 95.23 and 83.68 mg/g, respectively, about three times higher than that of unmodified OP. The sorption efficiency of COP drops by merely about 3% after five cycles, implying a promising usage in the removal of Cu(II) from wastewater in practice.

In the present study, the application for the removal of Nickel (II) ion from aqueous solution by using synthetic nano Fe3O4 with the average size of 20 nm was investigated by batch method, as a function of concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm data are tested by applying both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models.
