By means of solution polymerization, a series of cross-linked starch-g-polyacrylamide/ montmorillonite (St-g-PAM/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared and used to adsorb methylene blue (MB). The effects of different preparation conditions on the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposites were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the prepared St-g-PAM/MMT nanocomposites were effective adsorbents for removal of MB from aqueous solution. Furthermore, adsorption capacity increased with the MMT contents up to 14% and decreased as the MMT contents further increased. Adsorption capacity increased with the increasing of the ratio of starch to acrylamide, whereas adsorption capacity decreased with the increasing of crosslinking agent contents.

The poor environmental friendliness, low adsorption capacity and nonreusability of adsorbents are still challenging for the removal of pollutants in aqueous solution. Herein, novel polypeptide-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (PS-MNPs), Fe3O4@SiO2@PLL nanoparticles, with good environmental friendliness, excellent adsorption capability and economic reusability were designed and prepared for efficient removal of methylene blue (MB) and Cr(VI) ion (Cr2O[Formula: see text]. The chem-physical properties of Fe3O4@SiO2@PLL nanoparticles, such as chemical structure, nanosize, nanomorphology, crystalline structure, magnetization and thermo-oxidative degradation behavior were fully investigated in this study. In addition, the adsorption properties of the Fe3O4@SiO2@PLL nanoparticles for MB and Cr(VI) ion in aqueous solution were explored by batch adsorption experiments. Based on the experimental results, the Fe3O4@SiO2@PLL nanoparticles demonstrated excellent adsorption capacity for removal of both MB and Cr(VI) ion that the theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of the nanoparticles were 301.2[Formula: see text]mg [Formula: see text] g[Formula: see text] for MB and 164.7[Formula: see text]mg [Formula: see text] g[Formula: see text] for Cr(VI), respectively. The adsorption process could be better fitted by pseudo-second-order model, and matched well with the Langmuir isotherm equation. Moreover, the Fe3O4@SiO2@PLL nanoparticles could be easily regenerated by desorbing metal ions and organic dyes from the adsorbents with appropriate eluents, and showed good adsorption capacity after five recycles. In brief, the as-prepared PS-MNPs exhibited improved environmental friendliness, excellent adsorption properties and high regeneration efficiency, which could be used as a potential adsorbent for different kinds of contaminants removal.

The adsorption properties of two nanomorphologies of trititanate, nanotubes (TiNT) and plates (TiNP), prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of concentrated NaOH with different phases of TiO2, were examined. It was found that the capacity for both morphologies towards methylene blue (MB), an ideal pollutant, was extremely high, with the TiNP having a capacity of 130 mg/g, higher than the TiNT, whose capacity was 120 mg/g at 10 mg/L MB concentration. At capacity, the well-dispersed powders deposit on the floor of the reaction vessel. The two morphologies had very different structural and adsorption properties. TiNT with high surface area and pore volume exhibited exothermic monolayer adsorption of MB. TiNP with low surface area and pore volume yielded a higher adsorption capacity through endothermic multilayer adsorption governed by pore diffusion. TiNP exhibited a higher negative surface charge of −23 mV, compared to −12 mV for TiNT. The adsorption process appears to be an electrostatic interaction, with the cationic dye attracted more strongly to the nanoplates, resulting in a higher adsorption capacity and different adsorption modes. We believe this simple, low cost production of high capacity nanostructured adsorbent material has potential uses in wastewater treatment.

Glucomannan/graphene oxide (GM/GO) hydrogel was synthesized by using calcium hydroxide as the crosslinker. The synthesized material was characterized by using IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and RAMAN technology. The composite hydrogel was used for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. The results showed that the GM/GO hydrogel had a porous structure and a high adsorption capacity toward methylene blue (MB). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could fit the rate equation of MB adsorption onto the GM/GO hydrogel. The adsorption of MB onto GM/GO hydrogel was a spontaneous process. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data indicated that equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum dye adsorption capacity was 198,69 mg.g-1. Moreover, the hydrogel was stable and easily recovered and adsorption capacity was around 97% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after being used five times.

This report presents the effect of synthesis conditions on the synthesis of graphene nanosheets via electrochemical exfoliation method for adsorbing methylene blue from aqueous solution. Oxygen-containing functional groups and defects in the material were characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As a result, by using voltage of 15 V, (NH4)2SO4 (5%, 250 mL) and KOH (7.5%, 250 mL), the obtained material showed the highest MB adsorption capacity due to the high densities of oxygen-containing groups and defects comparison to other conditions.

Employing yeast cells as carriers,a novel cell-loaded photocatalyst yeast/ZnS (YC/ZnS) was successfully synthesized. The adsorption performance of methylene blue on the YC/ZnS microspheres was studied. Experimental results showed that the optimized adsorption conditions were 23°C,pH7 and the YC/ZnS dosage 4.5g/L. Under these conditions,the adsorption capacity of YC/ZnS could reach 471.2μg/g. Isotherm modeling revealed that Freundlich equations described well the adsorption of methylene blue onto YC/ZnS.

To improve the adsorption and separation efficiency of lead-containing wastewater by graphene oxide (GO), attapulgite (ATP) was used through a simple hydrothermal reaction. The prepared GO was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, and XPS. The adsorption properties of the prepared GO were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb2+ on as-prepared GO at pH 5 and 25 °C was 450.9 mg/g. It is concluded that the as-prepared GO can be used as a high-efficiency adsorbent for lead-containing wastewater.

The composite was prepared with montmorillonite (MMT) and poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA). Applied the composite as the sorbent, methylene blue as the adsorbate, the influences of the initial concentrations of methylene blue, adsorption time and pH values of the solution on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue by the composite were studied. The experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite both increased with the increasing of initial concentration of methylene blue and the prolonging of adsorption time, and then approached saturation respectively. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite increased with the increasing of pH values of methylene blue solution. Meanwhile, the study of adsorption mechanism demonstrated that the adsorption of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite was Langmuir type, and the adsorption equation wasΓ=0.204c/(1+0.381C).
