Crosslinked carboxymethyl tamarind (CCMTKP) with degree of substitution (DS) 0.42, 0.64 and 0.88 were prepared through reaction of sodium monochloroacetic acid (SMCA), epichlorohydrin (ECH) and tamarind kernel polysaccharide (TKP) and used to adsorb Cu2+ from aqueous solution. The appropriate range for pH was 2-6. The adsorption capacity rapidly reached equilibrium within 15 min and adsorption followed second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption of Cu2+ is well followed as the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) was 68.03 mg/g. The regeneration study indicates that CCMTKP could be used repeatedly without significantly changing their adsorption capacities.

Mag@silica-Ag composite has a high sorption ability for I− in aqueous solution due to its high surface area and strong affinity for the studied anion. The material adsorbed I− rapidly during the initial contact time (in 45 min, η = 80%) and reached adsorption equilibrium after 2 h. Moreover, mag@silica-Ag proved to selectively remove I− from a mixture of Cl−, NO3− and I−. The adsorption behavior fitted the Langmuir isotherm perfectly and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity of mag@silica-Ag was 0.82 mmol/g, which is significantly higher than previously developed adsorbents. This study introduces a practical application of a high-capacity adsorbent in removing radioactive I− from wastewaters.

Adsorption of ammonia nitrogen from aqueous solution onto the bagasse adsorbent has been investigated to evaluate the effects of Adsorbent dose, initial NH4+-N concentration, and pH on the removal systematically. With increasing initial concentration, the amount of ammonia nitrogen sorbed onto the adsorbent increased until it gradually decreased due to the initial concentration exceed 50 mg·L-1, and the maximum adsorption capacity was observed for the sample to be 1.31 mg·g-1 at the initial concentration of 30 mg·L-1, and the corresponding removal rates decreased from 94.01 to 3.89%, with increase in initial concentration from 5 to 100 mg·L-1. Adsorption capacities decreased from 6.04 to 0.49 mg·g-1 with increasing adsorbent dose from 0.1 to 1.5g. What’s more, under alkaline condition, the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from aqueous solution onto the samples were superior to that under acidity and neutrality condition.

Evaluated removal of reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye from aqueous solution was studied in batch mode by using kenaf core fiber as low-cost adsorbents. In this attempt, kenaf core fiber with size 0.25–1 mm was treated by using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHMAC) as quaternization agent. Then effective parameters include adsorbent dose, pH, and contact time and initial dye concentration on adsorption by modified kenaf core fiber was investigated. In addition, isotherms and kinetics adsorption studies were estimated for determination of the equilibrium adsorption capacity and reactions dynamics, respectively. Results showed that the best dose of MKCF was 0.1 g/100 mL, the maximum removal of RO16 was 97.25 at 30°C, pH = 6.5, and agitation speed was 150 rpm. The results also showed that the equilibrium data were represented by Freundlich isotherm with correlation coefficientsR2=0.9924, and the kinetic study followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with correlation coefficientsR2=0.9997forCo=100 mg/L. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity was 416.86 mg/g. Adsorption through kenaf was found to be very effective for the removal of the RO16 dye.

Chitosan nanofiber membranes by electrospinning technique were used to remove Cu ( II ) from aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms, and pH effect were investigated in batch experiments. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second-order kinetic models agree well with the experimental data. The chitosan nanofiber membranes are effective for Cu ( II ) adsorption at pH6. Results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the chitosan nanofiber membranes with Cu ( II ) is 118.62 mg g-1. The chitosan nanofiber membranes can be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu ( II ) in aqueous solution due to high adsorption capacity.

This study was carried out to investigate the efficiency of raw pili shell (RPS) and the surface modified pili shell using EDTA (EMPS) and oxalic acid (OMPS). A comparative study on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents was performed against lead (Pb2+) from aqueous solution. The adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, which showed higher peak of adsorption bands of carboxylic groups on the acid modified pili shells. Scanning electron microscope orSEM was also used to describe the surface morphology of the adsorbents. The linear form of Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to represent adsorption data. The calculated equilibrium data of Pb (II) best fitted to Langmuir compare to Freundlich isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 27.03 mg/g and 45.45 mg/g using EMPS and OMPS, respectively. Kinetic sorption models were used to determine the adsorption mechanism and the kinetic data of all the adsorbents correlated (R2=1) wellwith the pseudo second order kinetic model. Among the three adsorbents, OMPS shown higher percent removal of lead compared to RPS and EMPS. The large adsorption capacity rate indicated that chemically modified pili shell in present study has great potential to be used as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of lead ions from the water.

Activated carbon prepared from bottle gourd has been used as adsorbent for removal of leather dye (Direct Black 38) from aqueous solution. The activated carbon obtained showed a mesoporous texture, with surface area of 556.16 m2 g−1, and a surface free of organic functional groups. The initial dye concentration, contact time and pH significantly influenced the adsorption capacity. In the acid region (pH 2.5) the adsorption of dye was more favorable. The adsorption equilibrium was attained after 60 min. Equilibrium data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models. The equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm, with maximum adsorption capacity of 94.9 mg g−1. Adsorption kinetic data were fitted using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models. The adsorption kinetic was best described by the second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption process was controlled by both external mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion. Activated carbon prepared from bottle gourd was shown to be a promising material for adsorption of Direct Black 38 from aqueous solution.

Fe-immobilized bentonite, prepared with bentonite and FeCl3 was used for the adsorption of uranium(VI) in this study, solution pH, ion strength, contact time and temperature were investigated, structural characterization of Fe-immobilized bentonite was assayed by X-ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Results indicated that the adsorption capacity were strongly affected by the solution pH and ion strength, the adsorption efficiency was 91.8% when pH value was 6 and ion strength was 0.01 mol•L-1, higher or lower pH did not favor the U(VI) adsorption. The adsorption mechanism was discussed by the views of reactive kinetics and thermodynamics along with Scanning Electron Microscope. The adsorption kinetics process was fitted well with the second-order kinetic equation, when the initial U(VI) concentration was less than 38.08mg/L, Langmuir equations could describe the adsorption isotherm of U(VI) well with the maximum adsorption capacity of 169.5mg/g at 303K

AbstractIn this work, we reported for the first time a novel magnetic composite graphene oxide/Fe3O4/glucose-COOH (GO/Fe3O4/GC) that was facilely prepared from glucose through the hydrothermal carbonization and further combination with graphene oxide (GO). The chemical and structural properties of the samples were investigated. By the batch uranium adsorption experiments, the magnetic composite GO/Fe3O4/GC exhibits an excellent adsorption performance and fast solid–liquid separation for uranium from aqueous solution. GO/Fe3O4/GC (the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) was 390.70 mg g−1) exhibited excellent adsorption capacity and higher removal rate (> 99%) for U(VI) than those of glucose-COOH (GC) and magnetic GC (MGC). The effect of the coexisting ions, such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+, on the U(VI) removal efficiency of GO/Fe3O4/GC was examined. The equilibrium sorption and sorption rate for the as-prepared adsorbents well fit the Langmuir model and pseudo second-order kinetic model, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0 = 11.57 kJ mol−1 and ΔG0 < 0) for GO/Fe3O4/GC indicate that the sorption process of U(VI) was exothermic and spontaneous. Thus, this research provides a facile strategy for the preparation of the magnetic composite with low cost, high efficiency and fast separation for the U(VI) removal from aqueous solution.

Phosphate adsorption from aqueous solution using slag was investigated as the function of pH, contact time and adsorbent dosage. The results showed that the optimum value of pH was 2. Both Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm model were fit to describe the phosphate adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity from Langmuir model calculated was 9.09 mg/L. The adsorption process on slag followed pseudo second-order kinetic. Due to the relatively high adsorption capacity, the slag has the potential for application to removal phosphate from wastewater.
