In this study, the adsorption capacity of expanded perlite (EP) for benzene at low concentrations in water was investigated after EP was treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). IR spectra used to characterize the modified EP showed that there was no bonding between NaOH and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of EP. However, the NaOH provided a basic medium for negatively charged surface oxide ions (-SO-) to form on EP. This fact was corroborated by pH readings of the modification solution. This reduced in pH from 10 to 9 at the end of the reaction which indicated that the hydroxyl OH- groups on the EP underwent deprotonation and hence releases H+ into the solution, and also positive sites on EP adsorbed OH- ions from the base solution. Mahir et al. in their paper Zeta potential of unexpanded and expanded perlite samples in various electrolyte media confirmed that EP has no isoelectric point and exhibits negative zeta potential in the pH range of 2-11. The surface oxides (-SO-) were believed to have given EP it adsorptive potential. Adsorption isotherm values correlated reasonably well with the Langmuir isotherm model and it parameters (qo and K) were obtained using linear regression analysis. A maximum adsorption capacity (qo) value of 19.42 mg/g was achieved.

A novel adsorbent Mn-Fe layered double hydroxides intercalated with ethylenediaminete-traacetic (EDTA@MF-LDHs) was synthesized by a low saturation coprecipitation method. The behavior and mechanism of As(III) removed by EDTA@MF-LDHs were investigated in detail in comparison with the carbonate intercalated Mn-Fe layered double hydroxides (CO3@MF-LDHs). The results showed that EDTA@MF-LDHs had a higher removal efficiency for As(III) than As(V) with a broader pH range than CO3@MF-LDH. The large adsorption capacity of EDTA@MF-LDHs is related to its large interlayer spacing and the high affinity of its surface hydroxyl groups. The maximum adsorption capacity for As(III) is 66.76 mg/g at pH 7. The FT-IR and XPS characterization indicated that the removal mechanism of the As(III) on EDTA@MF-LDHs include surface complexation, redox, and ion exchange.

Glassy carbon foam (GCF) catalyst supports were synthesized from waste polyurethane elastomers by impregnating them in sucrose solution followed by pyrolysis and activation (AC) using N2 and CO2 gas. The palladium nanoparticles were formed from Pd(NO3)2. The formed palladium nanoparticles are highly dispersive because the mean diameters are 8.0 ± 4.3 (Pd/GCF), 7.6 ± 4.2 (Pd/GCF-AC1) and 4.4 ± 1.6 nm (Pd/GCF-AC2). Oxidative post-treatment by CO2 of the supports resulted in the formation of hydroxyl groups on the GCF surfaces, leading to a decrease in zeta potential. The decreased zeta potential increased the wettability of the GCF supports. This, and the interactions between –OH groups and Pd ions, decreased the particle size of palladium. The catalysts were tested in the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. The non-treated, glassy-carbon-supported catalyst (Pd/GCF) resulted in a 99.2% aniline yield at 293 K and 50 bar hydrogen pressure, but the reaction was slightly slower than other catalysts. The catalysts on the post-treated (activated) supports showed higher catalytic activity and the rate of hydrogenation was higher. The maximum attained aniline selectivities were 99.0% (Pd/GCF-AC1) at 293 K and 98.0% (Pd/GCF-AC2) at 323 K.

Reducing input of phosphorus is the key step for control of eutrophication and algal blooming in freshwater lakes. Adsorption technology is a cost-effective technology for phosphate removal in water for the purpose. Thus, in this study, a novel Fe–Mn–La tri-metal composite sorbent was developed, and then evaluated for phosphate removal. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity could be approached to 61.80 mg g−1 at 25°C under pH of 6.03. Adsorption of phosphate by Fe–Mn–La tri-metal composite adsorbent fitted better by pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir model, which suggested that the adsorption process was surface chemical reactions and mainly in a monolayer coverage manner. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption reaction was an endothermic process. The phosphate removal gradually decreased with the increasing of pH from 3.02 to 11.00. The sequence of coexisting anions competing with phosphates was that CO32− > Cl− > SO42− > NO3−. Dissolved organic matter, fulvic acid as a representative, would also decrease adsorption capacities of phosphate by Fe–Mn–La tri-metal composite adsorbents. Adsorption capacity would be decreased with increasing addition of adsorbents, while removal efficiency would be increased in this process. The Fe–Mn–La tri-metal composite adsorbent showed a good reusability when applied to removal of dissolved phosphate from aqueous solutions. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that some hydroxyl groups (–OH) on the surface of adsorbent were replaced by the adsorbed PO43−, HPO42−, or H2PO4−. Aggregative results showed that the novel Fe–Mn–La tri-mental composite sorbent is a very promising adsorbent for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solutions.

Bovine serum albumin is one of the major serum proteins; it plays an important role as a result of its functional and nutritional properties which have bioactive peptides. Adsorption method was used to separate protein, which involves hydroxyapatite, synthetic hydroxyapatite, and active babassu coal. Initially, characterization was carried out using the zeta potential of the adsorbents. Kinetic pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models were applied. For isotherms, equilibrium data studies were carried out using the Langmuir and Freundlich models, in addition to determining the efficiency of adsorptive process. The results of the zeta potential showed loads ranging from +6.9 to −42.8 mV. The kinetic data were better represented in the pseudo-second-order model with chemisorption characteristics. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbents decreased as pH increased, indicating that the electrostatic bonds and some functional groups of active babassu coal contributed to the reduction of adsorption, especially oxygen linked to carbon atoms. The value of pH 4.0 showed the best results of adsorption, being obtained as the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) and yield (%) (whereqm=87.95 mg g−1and 74.2%; 68.26 mg g−1and 68.6%; and 36.18 mg g−1, 37.4%) of hydroxyapatite, synthetic hydroxyapatite, and active babassu coal, respectively.

In this study, novel chitosan-g-itaconic acid/bentonite (CTS-g-IA/BT) and chitosan/bentonite (CTS/BT) nanocomposites were synthesized for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The process was pH-sensitive and maximum sorption was obtained at pH 6 (CTS-g-IA/BT) and 7 (CTS/BT) in 76 h agitation time using 0.03 g of nanocomposites for 50 mL of MB solution. The results showed that in pH less than 6, the adsorption capacity of CTS-g-IA/BT nanocomposite due to the existence of IA monomer is less than that of CTS/BT nanocomposite. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of CTS-g-IA/BT revealed that both itaconic acid and BT present in the nanocomposite structure, and also the –OH groups of BT, –NH2 and –OH of CTS participated in nanocomposite formation. According to the FTIR results, a schematic diagram of the nanocomposite synthesis was presented. The kinetic results indicated that the adsorption of MB fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data followed Langmuir isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacity of 500 and 181.818 mg/g for CTS-g-IA/BT and CTS/BT nanocomposites, respectively. The negative values of Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0) and the positive values of ΔH0 confirmed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The positive values of ΔS0 suggested the randomness of adsorption at interface.

To adsorb hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in polluted water, this paper prepared a UiO-66 (Zr6O4(OH)4(BDC)12) modified granular corncob composite adsorbent by hydrothermal method with in situ loading of UiO-66 on pretreated corncob particles. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized samples were characterized. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption process of aqueous Cr(VI) under various conditions (different ionic strength, pH and co-existing anions). The results showed that UiO-66 was successfully loaded on the modified corncob particles. The isothermal adsorption data of Cr(VI) adsorption by the UiO-66 modified corncob fit well with the Langmuir model with the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) on UiO-66@Corn+ being 90.04 mg/g. UiO-66 loading could increase Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of Corn+. The kinetic study showed that the equilibrium time for Cr(VI) adsorption on UiO-66 modified corncob was about 180 min and the kinetic data followed the pseudo-secondary kinetic model. The Cr(VI) adsorption capacity on UiO-66@Corn+ decreased with the increasing solution pH, and the optimum pH range was 4–6. The ionic strength has little effect on the Cr(VI) adsorption capacity, but the coexistence of CO32−, SO42− and PO43− in the solution could significantly decrease the equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cr(VI). The adsorption mechanism analysis showed that Cr(VI) was adsorbed on the surface of adsorbents through electrostatic attraction and was reduced further to the less toxic Cr(III) by the electron donor on the surface of adsorbent. The electrostatic interaction was the main force affecting the adsorption of Cr(VI) by UiO-66. UiO-66@Corn+ had an excellent removal efficiency of Cr(VI) and excellent reusability. UiO-66@Corn+ could effectively remove Cr(VI) from water and have a promising application.

Abstract Heavy metal pollution caused by the indiscriminate disposal of toxic heavy metal wastewater has become one of the serious water environmental issues. In this study, a novel NH2-PAA/Alginate hydrogel with double network interpenetrating structure was constructed with alginate, acrylic acid, and other raw materials. Characterized by SEM, this hydrogel shows a three-dimensional porous structure, which would be useful in adsorption process for its high diffusion coefficient. The results of adsorption experimental show that the NH2-PAA/Alginate possessed the well adsorption capacity when pH above 3.5, the maximum adsorption capacity calculated by Langmuir was 176.5 mg/g, the adsorption equilibrium can be achieved within 150 min. In addition, the NH2-PAA/Alginate has good recycling ability and stability. The results of XPS analysis reveal that the Cd(II) exchanged with Ca(II) and then coordinated with amino and hydroxyl groups in NH2-PAA/Alginate. The NH2-PAA/Alginate hydrogel can deal with all kinds of heavy metal ions and is a potential material for heavy metal adsorption.

Fluoride in drinking water above permissible levels is responsible for human dental and skeletal fluorosis. Adsorptive based defluoridation is the most popular technique with several end-user applications. Consequently, this paper describes the fluoride removal potential of a novel sorbent, limestone-derived apatite from drinking water. The adsorbent was prepared by calcining limestone followed by reacting with orthophosphoric acid. Batch sorption studies were performed as a function of contact time, pH, initial fluoride concentration, temperature and adsorbent dose. Sorption of fluoride was found to be pH dependent with a maximum occurring in the pH range of 5-9. The authors also observed that the material had a buffering effect on the same pH range. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity was found to increase with temperature, depicting the endothermic nature of the adsorption process and decreases with adsorbent mass. The equilibrium data was well described by the conventional Langmuir isotherm, from which isotherm the maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 22.2 mg/g. From the kinetic perspective, the fluoride adsorptive reaction followed the pseudo-second order mechanism.
