In order to enhance its cationic sorption capacity, untreated rubber leaf powder (RLP) was functionalized using monosodium glutamate to produce potentially biodegradable cationic sorbent. The sorption behaviors of monosodium glutamate functionalised (MGRL) against Pb (II) in a batch system are investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters (e.g. initial pH, contact time) were investigated and the sorption kinetic was elucidated. The Pb (II) removal on MGRL increased as the initial pH increased. The effect of contact time revealed that the equilibrium is reached at 90 minutes. The Pb (II) sorption process on MGRL followed the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 109.953 mg/g was found suited to describe the adsorption process.

Conventional processes for heavy metal removal are costly. Natural and modified clay with quaternary ammonium salt were used as adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions. Clays were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR, thermal analysis (TG/DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Cr (VI) determination was conducted by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, using complexation with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide. Absorbance was measured at the wavelength of 540 nm. The experiments were conducted at 25 ± 1 °C; initial Cr (VI) concentration of 4 to 25 mg L-1; initial pH of 2, agitation of 150 rpm; contact time of 120 minutes and clay mass of 0.1 g. Natural and modified clays exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 2.548 mg g-1 and 17.24 mg g-1, respectively, in accordance with the Langmuir isotherm model. X-ray diffraction analysis of clay indicated that the sample consists mainly of kaolinite and montmorillonite.

The presence of heavy metals in the environment due to industrial activities is of serious concern because of their toxic behaviour towards humans and other forms of life. Biosorption of Pb(II) using dry bacterial biomass of Bacillus badius AK, previously isolated from water hyacinth compost, has been undertaken in batch system. The optimum conditions of biosorption were determined by investigating the initial pH, contact time, initial biomass dosage at constant temperature of 40 °C, initial metal concentration of 100 mg/L and rotational speed of 150 rpm. The optimum pH was found to be 5 and equilibrium contact time was 2.5 h. The maximum biosorption capacity of Pb(II) on Bacillus badius AK was 138.8 mg/g at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L. A kinetics study revealed that the adsorption process followed pseudo second order rate kinetics. The experimental data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. Characterization of the biomass indicated the presence of several functional groups. The results indicated that the bacterium Bacillus badius AK is efficient for the removal of Pb(II).

In this paper, modified rice straw was investigated for its Cu2+removal ability from aqueous solution. The effects of environmental factors on metal biosorption were studied under static state, including initial concentration of metal ions, sorption time, initial pH value and adsordent dosage. In addition, the relevant equilibrium, kinetics were discussed. The results showed that the rice straw which was modified by NaOH had been improved greatly in its Cu2+removal ability. The rice straw had good effects on adsorption of low concentration of Cu2+solution. The adsorption data fit Langmuir isotherm model well, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cu2+reached 8.48 mg·g-1. The adsorption of Cu2+on the modified rice straw was a very rapid process, the kinetics fit a pseudo-second-order equation well. The pH value had prominent effect on the removal rate of Cu2+, adsorption efficient could reach over 92% when pH value was between 5 and 6.5. With increasing adsordent dosage, the removal rate of Cu2+increased.

Ash from poultry feather gasification was investigated as an adsorbent for Cd removal from synthetic wastewater under a range of operational conditions: initial pH (2–8) and salinity (8–38 mS/cm) of wastewater, ash dosage (2.5–50 g/L), Cd concentration (25–800 mg/L) and contact time (5–720 min). The ash was highly alkaline and had low surface area and micropores averaging 1.12 nm in diameter. Chemical/mineralogical analysis revealed a high content of P2O5 (39.9 wt %) and CaO (35.5 wt %), and the presence of calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite and calcium. It contained only trace amounts of heavy metals, BTEX, PAHs and PCBs, making it a safe mineral by-product. Cd adsorption was described best with Langmuir and pseudo-second order models. At pH 5, an ash dosage of 5 g/L, 40 min contact time and 100 mg Cd/L, 99% of Cd was removed from wastewater. The salinity did not affect Cd sorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cd was very high (126.6 mg/g). Surface precipitation was the main mechanism of Cd removal, possibly accompanied by ion exchange between Cd and Ca, coprecipitation of Cd with Ca-mineral components and Cd complexation with phosphate surface sites. Poultry ash effectively removes high concentrations of toxic Cd from wastewater.

The sorption of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions by eggshell was investigated in a batch experimental system with respect to the temperature, initial Cu2+ concentrations, pH, and biosorbent doses. The adsorption equilibrium was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption capacity of 5.05 mg Cu2+/g eggshell at 25 °C. The value of qe increased with increasing the temperature while also increases the release of Ca2+ and HCO−3 ions from the eggshell. The highest sorption of Cu onto the waste eggshell was determined at the initial pH value of 4.0. The results confirming that the adsorption reaction of Cu2+ on the eggshell was thought to be endothermic. A comparison of the kinetic models such as pseudo first and second-order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich on the sorption rate demonstrated that the system was best described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model.

In this study, a natural low-coast, efficient, and eco- bio-sorbent plant material (Ludwigia stolonifera), with both parts of the root and shoot, were studied for the removal of the cationic metal ions, lead Pb2+ and chromium Cr6+, via batch mode experiments to evaluate their maximum adsorption capacity, and held a comparison between the used bio-sorbent roots and shoots, based on the highest bio-sorption potential. Optimization of the bio-sorption parameters, such as contact time, pH, bio-sorbent (root and shoot) dosage, and initial ion concentration was conducted. The results indicated that 1.6 g of the used bio-sorbent shoot material removed 81.4% of Pb2+, and 77% of Cr6+ metal ions from liquid media under the conditions of 100 ppm of initial metal ions concentration at room temperature for 60 min of contact time with the static condition. Different isotherms and kinetic models were fit to the experimental data to understand the nature of the bio-sorption process. The experimental data were best fit by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.999), which reveals the chemisorption nature of the bio-sorption process. The chemical and structural analysis of the used bio-sorbent, before and after Cr6+ and Pb2+ bio-sorption, were performed using different techniques of characterization, such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The used bio-sorbent proved to be a low-cost, efficient, and eco-friendly material to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions.

In present study a low cost biosorbent derived from Lagenaria vulgaris plant by xanthation, was tested for its ability to remove copper from aqueous solution. The effect of contact time, initial pH, initial concentration of copper(II) ions and adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency were studied in a batch process mode. The optimal pH for investigated metal was 5. A dosage of 4 g dm-3 of xanthated Lagenaria vulgaris biosorbent (xLVB) was found to be effective for maximum uptake of copper(II). The kinetic of sorption of metal was fast, reaching at equilibrium in 50 min. The kinetic data were found to follow closely the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium was described well by the Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 23.18 mg g-1 copper(II) ions on xLVB. The presence of sulfur groups on xLVB were identified by FTIR spectroscopic study. Copper removal efficiency was achieved at 81.35% from copper plating industry wastevater.
