Biodegradable cellulose/collagen beads were successfully prepared by coagulating a blend of cellulose and collagen using 1–butyl–3–methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl). The copper ions (Cu(II)) adsorption from aqueous solutions using the prepared beads were investigated at 15 °C as a function of initial concentrations, adsorbents types and adsorption time. The results show that Cu(II) adsorption amount increases with increasing initial concentration. Cellulose/collagen beads can absorb more Cu(II) than cellulose beads and the adsorption equilibrium can be achieved at 30 min. The maxinum adsorption amount of the cellulose/collagen beads (1/1, wt/wt) is estimated to be 0.51 mmol/g. The 90% absorbed Cu(II) on the composite beads can be desorbed by treating with 1 mol/L HCl solution for 180 min.

Cephalexin (CPX) is recognized as a water pollutant, and it has been listed in a number of countries with a risk factor greater than one. Herein, the present work focused on the synthesis, characterization and biosorption capacity evaluation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized in calcium alginate as a biosorbent to remove CPX from aqueous solutions. Biosorbent was characterized by SEM and FTIR techniques. Batch biosorption experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of the initial pH, biosorbent dose and CPX initial concentration. The removal efficiency, in considered optimal conditions (pH = 4, CPX initial concentration = 30 mg/L, biosorbent dose = 1 g/L) was 86.23%. CPX biosorption was found to follow the pseudo–second-order kinetics. The equilibrium biosorption data were a good fit for the Langmuir model with correlation coefficient of 0.9814 and maximum biosorption capacity was 94.34 mg/g. This study showed that the synthesized biosorbent by immobilization technique is a low-cost one, easy to obtain and handle, eco-friendly, with high feasibility to remove CPX antibiotic from aqueous solution. The findings of this study indicate that the biosorbents based on microorganisms immobilized on natural polymers have the potential to be applied in the treatment of wastewater.

The adsorption behavior of methyl orange aqueous solution was investigated on husk-based activated carbon. The effects of key factors, i.e., degassing pretreatment, adsorption time, temperature, adsorbent dosage and initial concentration, on the adsorption efficiency were measured. The kinetic adsorption curves and adsorption isotherms were fitted with theoretical model. The results show that the removal efficiency of methyl orange could be significantly improved by degassing pretreatment, prolonging the time, lowering temperature or reducing the initial concentration. In the context, adsorption equilibrium will be achieved up 90min. Furthermore, adsorption rate will be enhanced by the increase of the amount of activated carbon. In conclusion, adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics can be fitted well with Freundlich equation and pseudo-first Lagergren model, respectively.

A model was prepared for the preparation of biochar from the biomass of mushroom residue at different carbonization temperature (350 °C,450 °Cand 550 °C) for adsorption characteristics of ammonium nitrogen in water through different ammonium nitrogen concentration, reaction time, pH and temperature. The investigation result showed that the adsorptive amount of these three biochar substances increased quickly with the initial concentration (0-2 h) and the adsorption equilibrium was reached after 4 hours. The adsorptive amount of these three biochars increased with the rise of pH from 5 to 9. Different temperature preparation of biochar on ammonium nitrogen adsorption increases with the rise of temperature. Different temperature preparation of biochar on ammonium nitrogen adsorption amount is in the order of 550 °Cbiochar > 450 °Cbiochar > 350 °Cbiochar.

In this paper we tried to improve the adsorption amount by adding graphene/CNT hybrid in the structure of Activated Carbon (AC) for removing manganese ions from aqueous solutions. The bonding of G/CNT hybrid with activated carbon creates a structure that is an excellent absorbent for removing some heavy metal ions. So the Performance increasing of ion adsorption was compared with AC results as the blank adsorbent. The influence of time, pH solution, initial concentration of Mn2+ and temperature investigated as experimental conditions. The maximum adsorption was 89.38% and 96.18% for  AC and AC/G/CNT composite respectively at 30 min, initial concentration of 30 mg/L, pH=4.5 in 15°C for both adsorbents. The results showed that under the same conditions, the presence of G/CNT hybrid in the structure of AC increased the amount of adsorption by 7.5%

The optical characteristics of copper ion detection, such as the photometric absorbance of specific wavelengths, exhibit significant intensity change upon incident light into the aqueous solutions with different concentrations of metal ions due to the electron transition in the orbit. In this study, we developed a low-cost, small-size and fast-response photoelectric sensing prototype as an optic sensor for copper (Cu) ions detection by utilizing the principle of optical absorption. We quantified the change of optical absorbance from infra-red (IR) light emitting diodes (LEDs) upon different concentrations of copper ions and the transmitted optical signals were transferred to the corresponding output voltage through a phototransistor and circuit integrated in the photoelectric sensing system. The optic sensor for copper (Cu) ions demonstrated not only excellent specificity with other metal ions such as cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and chloride (Cl) ions in the same aqueous solution but also satisfactory linearity and reproducibility. The sensitivity of the preliminary sensing system for copper ions was 29 mV/ppm from 0 to 1000 ppm. In addition, significant ion-selective characteristics and anti-interference capability were also observed in the experiments by the proposed approach.
