Surface response optimization of adsorption process of neutral red dye wastewater by bamboo shoot hulls with the factors of pH value, amount of adsorbent, adsorption temperature, adsorption time and the response of adsorption rate were studied. The optimal parameters for adsorption process were of adsorbent concentration of 100 mg·L-1, adsorbent particle size of 60~80 mesh, pH 4.49, adsorbent amount of 3.65 g·L-1, adsorption time and temperature of 2.23 h and 39.70 °C, respectively. The maximal absorption rate got 98.37%. The adsorption follows the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, its dynamic behavior was consistent with the second-order reaction rate equations, the adsorption quantity was 179.3201 mg·g-1 at 30 °C. The apparent thermodynamic calculation of infrared spectroscopy showed that the adsorption process were of a spontaneous heat-emitting physical adsorption other than a simple chemical adsorption. Mechanical study showed that the functional groups were of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups on the pore and rough surfaces inside the hulls of bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoot hulls are good biological adsorption materials.

This research aims to use modified ZnO nanoparticles to enhance the removal rate of the methylene blue (MB) dye. ZnO nanoparticles are modified by coating their surface with Congo red (CR) dye, henceforth referred to as ZnO/CR. This process is used to produce a Lewis acid on the surface of ZnO to attract any Lewis base such as a MB dye (MB+). Therefore, the stability of ZnO/CR improved, and it resists the change in pH value (from 3 to 9). Several analysis techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and BET method were used to characterize ZnO/CR. Nonlinear and linear regressions of pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order, and Elovich models were used to calculate the kinetic parameters of the adsorption process. The best-fit kinetic equation was investigated using three functions of error analysis: the sum of the squares of the errors, chi-square analysis, and the coefficient of determination. The intraparticle diffusion equation was used to study the diffusion process. The adsorption process of the MB followed the Langmuir model with a maximum capacity (qm) value of 43.5 mg/g. This value is six times greater than the value calculated with pure ZnO. Thermodynamic parameters ΔS•, ΔH•, and ΔG• were investigated at four temperatures (10, 20, 30, and 40 °C). The uptake process of the MB occurs spontaneously following endothermic process and an increase in the system disorder. The rate of adsorption was controlled mainly by a Lewis acid–base interaction and H bonding. Furthermore, the removal of the MB by ZnO/CR powder worked well as a chemical and physical adsorption process.

The adsorption behavior of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions onto honeycomb-cinder (HC) and its acid-activated product was investigated in a batch system. The results showed the adsorption capacity was decreased for raw HC samples with the increase of pH value, while it was increased for activated samples. The adsorption data were fit with Langmuir isotherm model for MB adsorption by all samples. The MB adsorption capacity on samples was increased from 2.62 mg/g to 7.81 mg/g and 7.00 mg/g after acid-activated by HCl and H2SO4, respectively. The adsorption processes of MB followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with a coefficient of correlation≥0.99. This study demonstrated that acid-activated HC has superior adsorbing ability for MB than raw HC and can be used as alternative adsorbents in dye wastewater treatment.

In the presence of acetic acid, the effects of pH, processing time, addition of Fe2+ and H2O2 on dye wastewater treatment were studied. Experimental results showed that in the presence of acetic acid, when the pH value was 4, the processing time was 30.0min, addition of ferrous sulfate was 4.8g/L, and addition of hydrogen peroxide was 56mL/L, the treatment effect was the best, COD removal rate reached 51.0%. Further studied of the effect of the presence of acetic acid on Fenton’s oxidation of dye wastewater, the results showed that without of acetic acid, the COD removal rate was higher than that with acetic acid. And the effect of Fenton's reagent on oxidation of dye substances was interfered by the presence of acetic acid.

Abstract Highly efficient dye wastewater treatment by photocatalytic catalysis commonly requires expensive catalysts, long degradation time and a complicated procedure. Here, we for the first time prepared cheap graphene-doped titanium dioxide microspheres with a simple procedure to degrade dye with high efficiency. When the catalyst concentration was 0.2 g·L−1, the photocatalysis degradation extent of methylene blue solution, methylene green solution and 1,9-dimethyl methylene blue solution reached 96.4, 85.9 and 98.7%, respectively. The results showed that the degradation reactions accorded with the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model, and the photocatalytic reactions belonged to a first-order reaction in the primary stage. Furthermore, different photocatalytic degradation mechanisms were proposed, which have not been found in other literature. This work opened a new route for simple preparation of cheap microspheres in photocatalytic dye wastewater treatment with high efficiency.

Some catalytic materials can be utilized in environment pollution treatment. The material of ceramisite can be used in dye wastewater treatment process with its good properties. When they were filled in the high voltage discharge reactor, the ceramsite pellets were polarized, and partial discharge could take place beside every pellet, which would promote methylene blue degeneration in the dye wastewater. And when the solution pH>ceramsite pHzpc, the ceramsite surface presented the electronegativity and the ceramsite could adsorb more methylene blue, and removal rate increased.

A MoS2/TiO2 composite was synthesized and its photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue was evaluated. The results showed that the nano-MoS2/TiO2 composite presented excellent photocatalytic properties in the degradation reaction of methylene blue, which was ascribed to the good absorption of nano-MoS2/TiO2 in the visible light region. The decoloration rate of methylene blue solution was influenced by the dosage of nano-MoS2/TiO2 and the initial concentration of methylene blue. However, both the pH value and the degradation temperature had negligible effects on the decoloration rate of methylene blue. Moreover, the nano-MoS2/TiO2 composite as the degradation catalyst of methylene blue was of good regeneration properties.
