Coal fly ash (CFA) was modified by hydrothermal treatment using NaOH solutions for zeolite synthesis. The XRD patterns of zeolite and coal fly ash are presented. The synthesized zeolite was investigated for adsorption of methylene blue(MB)in aqueous solution. It was shown that fly ash and the modified forms could effectively absorb MB. The adsorption isotherm could be described by Freundlich isotherm equations. The pseudo second-order kinetics would be better for fitting the dynamic adsorption of MB.

Coal fly ash (CFA) was modified by hydrothermal treatment using NaOH solutions for zeolite synthesis. The XRD patterns of zeolite and coal fly ash are presented. The synthesized zeolite was investigated for adsorption of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution. It was shown that fly ash and the modified forms could effectively absorb heavy metals. The adsorption isotherm could be described by Freundlich isotherm equations. The pseudo second-order kinetics would be better for fitting the dynamic adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+.

Abstract The study investigates chemical modifications of coal fly ash (FA) treated with HCl or NH4HCO3 or NaOH or Na2edta, based on the research conducted to examine the behaviour of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions adsorbed from water solution on treated fly ash. In laboratory tests, the equilibrium and kinetics were examined applying various temperatures (293 - 333 K) and pH (2 - 11) values. The maximum Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions adsorption capacity obtained at 293 K, pH 9 and mixing time 2 h from the Langmuir model can be grouped in the following order: FA-NaOH > FA-NH4HCO3 > FA > FA-Na2edta > FA-HCl. The morphology of fly ash grains was examined via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and images of scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption kinetics data were well fitted by a pseudo-second-order rate model but showed a very poor fit for the pseudofirst order model. The intra-particle model also revealed that there are two separate stages in the sorption process, i.e. the external diffusion and the inter-particle diffusion. Thermodynamics parameters such as free energy, enthalpy and entropy were also determined. A laboratory test demonstrated that the modified coal fly ash worked well for the Cd(II) and Pb(II) ion uptake from polluted waters.

The adsorption of Cu (II) ions onto selective adsorbent of coal fly ash from Sugar Factory Madukismo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia modified with dithizone has been investigated in batch mode. Some parameters influencing immobilization of dithizone and adsorption of Cu (II) were optimized including an effect of pH, contact time and initial concentration of Cu (II) ions. The FT-IR and XRD analytical results show that the surface of coal fly ash can be modified by immobilization of selective organic ligand towards Cu (II) ions. The optimum conditions for adsorption of Cu (II) are achieved at pH 5, the optimum mass of DICFA and ACFA for copper adsorption were 0.2 g. Kinetics adsorption for copper ions follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with optimum adsorption contact time 60 min for DICFA and ACFA. Isotherms adsorption for Cu ion follow the Langmuir isotherms with chemisorption process and optimum concentration of Cu ion adsorption of 70 mg.L-1 for DICFA and ACFA.

Adsorption of Pb(II) ions onto selective adsorbent of dithizone-immobilized coal fly ash (DCFA) from Holcim, Cilacap, Indonesia has been investigated in batch experiments. Prepared coal fly ash (CFA) modified by immobilization of dithizone previously were characterized by FT-IR and XRD. Several parameters influencing the adsorption of Pb(II) ions such as effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial concentration of ions on the efficiency of the adsorption were studied. The optimum condition of Pb(II) adsorption was found at pH 5, adsorbent dosage 0.1 g, contact time 60 min and initial Pb(II) ions concentration of 60 mg L–1. The adsorption kinetics of Pb(II) ions on DCFA was found to follow a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted to the Langmuir model. Kinetics and adsorption isotherm studies suggest that the capacity and affinity of the DCFA in adsorbing Pb(II) ions is significantly improved compared to those of non-immobilized activated coal fly ash (ACFA).

Modified bentonite was used as adsorbent for the methylene blue adsorption in a batch process. Experimental results show that the adsorption kinetics is well described by pseudo-second-order model and the equilibrium data was better represented by the Freundlich isotherm model. The results revealed that the modified bentonite has the potential to be used as a good adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.
