Pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA)- modified grain sorghum stalk was used as a novel low-cost adsorbent to remove cationic dye methylene blue(MB) from aqueous solution. Bath studies were carried out to investigate the effects of pH and retention time on the adsorption of MB. The adsorption process could obtain >98% removal percentage within 30 minutes as the MB concentration was at 200 and 300 mg/L. And for 400 mg/L MB, 99% was removed in 6 hrs. The kinetics study showed that the adsorption processes followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which confirming that the sorption rate is controlled by chemical adsorption. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Langmuir model can be fitted better than Freundlich with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 568.18 mg/g for MB.

Abstract The usage of the low-cost catalysts for methylene blue removal from wastewater was investigated. Heterogeneous Fenton-like process consists of the use of a hydrogen peroxide solution, and an iron-rich catalyst, red mud and black nickel mud were used for that purpose. The factors such as the catalyst dose and the hydrogen peroxide solution volume were monitored. The results of experiments showed that the degradation of methylene blue dye in Fenton-like oxidation process using selected catalysts can be described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The highest dye removal efficiency (87.15 %) was achieved using the black nickel mud catalyst after 30 minutes of reaction.

Tannin/cellulose microspheres (T/C) were successfully prepared via a facile homogeneous reaction in a water/oil (W/O) emulsion for removing Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The structure of the microspheres was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and a zeta potential test. The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on adsorption ability were investigated. The results showed that T/C microspheres could combine Pb(II)ions via electrostatic attractions and physical adsorption. Adsorption kinetics could be better described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption behaviors were in agreement with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with a fitting correlation coefficient of 0.9992. The maximum adsorption capacity was 23.75 mg/g from the Langmuir isotherm evaluation at 308K with an initial pH of 5. The results suggested that tannin/cellulose microspheres could be a low-cost and effective adsorbent for removing Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution.

The efficiencies of raw (RK) and acid activated (0.5 M AAK) kaolinite clay minerals to remove methylene blue (MB) dyes in aqueous solution were investigated and compared. The 0.5 M AAK was prepared by treatment of RK in dilute 0.5 M HCl aqueous solution under reflux. Kaolinite adsorbents were characterized and their MB removal performances were evaluated via the batch method. MB desorption from spent kaolinites was investigated at pH 4 to 8. The MB removal was increased with increasing initial dye concentration, agitation speed and adsorbent dosage in 60 min reaction time at pH 6. Both kaolinites showed high MB removal (up to 97%). The Freundlich model has the best-fit equilibrium adsorption isotherm model for RK and 0.5 M AAK. The kinetic data for both adsorbents showed strong agreement with the pseudo second order kinetic model (r2 > 0.98). Nevertheless, the spent RK adsorbent demonstrated a significant higher MB retention than 0.5 M AAK in desorption experiments. Kaolinite clays have great potential as cost-effective materials for dyes removal 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.

In the present work, methylene blue was eliminated from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared by lotus leaves. To perform the experiments, batch method was applied. Also, several analyses such as SEM, FTIR, EDAX and BET were done to determine the surface properties of the activated carbon. The results showed that the maximum sorption efficiency of 97.59% was obtained in initial dye concentration of 10 mg/L, pH of 9, adsorbent dosage of 4 g/L, temperature of 25 °C, contact time of 60 min and mixture speed of 400 rpm. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity was determined 80 mg/g, which was a significant value. The experimental data was analyzed using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models, which the results showed that the pseudo-second order kinetic model could better describe the kinetic behavior of the sorption process. Also, the constant rate of the pseudo-second order kinetic model was obtained in the range of 0.0218–0.0345 g/mg.min. Moreover, the adsorption equilibrium was well described using Freundlich isotherm model. Furthermore, the thermodynamic studies indicated that the sorption process of methylene blue dye using the activated carbon was spontaneous and exothermic.

Abstract In this study, the potential of a new low-cost adsorbent, Syringa vulgaris leaves powder, for methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent surface was examined using SEM and FTIR techniques. The experiments were conducted, in batch system, to find out the effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature and ionic strength on dye adsorption. The process is best described by Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo second order kinetic model. Maximum adsorption capacity, 188.2 (mg g−1), is better than other similar adsorbent materials. Thermodynamic parameters revealed a spontaneous and endothermic process, suggesting a physisorption mechanism. A Taguchi orthogonal array (L27) experimental design was used to determine the optimum conditions for the removal of dye. Various desorbing agents were used to investigate the regeneration possibility of used adsorbent. Results suggest that the adsorbent material is very effective for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.

Methylene blue dye removal from aqueous solution was investigated using ZnCl2activated carbon prepared from wood apple outer shell (Limonia acidissima, biomass waste). Influence of agitation time, adsorbent dose, dye concentration, pH and temperature were explored. Two theoretical adsorption isotherms namely Langmuir and Freundlich were used to describe the experimental results. The Langmuir adsorption capacity (Qo) was found to be 35.1 mg/g and the equilibrium parameter (RL) values indicate favourable adsorption. The experimental data were well fitted with Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second order kinetic model. Desorption studies showed that ion exchange mechanism might be involved in the adsorption process.

The adsorption capacity was compared for the dye wastewater onto adsorbent MnO2. The effects of contact time and dosage of adsorbent were studied. The adsorption kinetics was analyzed. The results showed that MnO2 possessed higher adsorption capacity to Methylene blue than Methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 94.82%and 78.63% respectively under the conditions (the dosage1.2g/L, time 60min, initial dye concentration 50mg/L, pH7). The dynamical data fit well with the pseudo second order kinetic model. The MnO2 has higher Methylene blue adsorption capacity in short equilibrium times and are good alternative in wastewater treatment.

The removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from water was investigated using synthetic nano-clay magadiite (SNCM). SNCM was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment under autogenous pressure. A rosette-shaped single mesoporous magadiite phase with 16.63 nm average crystallite size and 33 m2.g-1 BET-surface area was recorded. The adsorption results indicated the pronounced affinity of the SNCM to the MB dye molecules which reached adsorption uptake of 20.0 mg MB dye/g of SNCM. The elimination of MB dye by the SNCM was kinetically and thermodynamically considered; a pseudo second order kinetic model was attained, and a spontaneous, chemical, and exothermic in nature was verified.

Abstract Conducting Polymeric composites have attracted great attention over the last years because of their potential uses in chemical, electronic and optical devices, and as catalysts as well as in adsorption processes. Chemical synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) and polyaniline-SiO2 composite and their adsorptive performance were reported in the present work. These materials were prepared and evaluated for their methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption characteristics from aqueous solution. Adsorption equilibrium kinetic and thermodynamic experiments of MB onto PANI and PANI/SiO2 were studied. The effects of initial dye concentration, contact time and temperature on the adsorption capacity of PANI/SiO2 for MB have been investigated. The pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data. It was found that adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order at all of the studied temperatures. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin Raduschkevich adsorption models were used for the mathematical description and the fit obtained using the Dubinin Raduschkevich isotherm has a medium R2 value.
