This study investigates the properties and potential application of Mg-PKS biochar composite for methylene blue solution (MB) adsorption. The Mg-PKS biochar composite was developed from palm kernel shell biochar via steam activation followed by MgSO4 treatment and carbonization. The effect of process parameters such as solution pH (4-10), contact time (30-90 min) and adsorbent dosage (0.1-0.5 g) were investigated via central composite design, response surface methodology. Results revealed that the Mg-PKS biochar composite has irregular shapes pore structure from SEM analysis, a surface area of 674 m2g-1 and average pore diameters of 7.2195 μm based on BET analysis. RSM results showed that the optimum adsorption of MB onto Mg-biochar composite was at pH 10, 30 min contact time and 0.5 g/100 mL dosage with a removal efficiency of 98.50%. In conclusion, Mg treatment is a potential alternative to other expensive chemical treatment methods for biochar upgrading to the adsorbent.

Mb Adsorption

Tunics corm saffron (TCS) is a low-cost adsorbent that removes methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The TCS was characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis. The influence of MB adsorption variables such as TCS dose (0.4–2.4 g L−1), contact time (0–120 min), MB dye concentration (100–500 mg L−1) was optimized Box–Behnken design (BBD) combined with response surface methodology (RSM) modeling. All three variables among the main parameters significantly affected the removal efficiency by applying the quadratic regression analysis. The results showed that the predicted values for MB adsorption were close to the experimental values and were in good agreement. Besides, the r2 value (r2=0.970) indicates that the regression can predict response for the adsorption process in the studied range. The optimum BBD-RSM for MB removal of 89.48 % was recorded at a TCS dose of 1.78 g L−1, contact time of 56 min, MB dye concentration of 176 mg L–1 at solution pH of 5.4 temperature 21 °C. Excellent regeneration of TCS to remove MB in sixth consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. This work highlights that TCS offers tremendous potential as a low-cost for organic dyes removal from wastewaters.

Biosorption Process

Biosorption process is considered as economical treatment to remove metal from the aqueous solution compared to other established methods. In this study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as biosorbent and subject to immobilization process which consists of ethanol treatment for the removal of binary metals, lead (II) and nickel (II) from aqueous solution. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize effective parameters condition and the interaction of two or more parameters in order to obtain high removal of the binary metals. The parameters that have been studied were initial concentration of binary metals solution (10 - 60 mg/L), biosorbent dosage (0.2 - 1.0 g), pH (pH 2 - pH 6) and contact time (30 - 360 minutes) towards lead (II) and nickel (II) ions removal. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), biosorbent dosage, solution pH and contact time factor were found significant for both responses. Through optimization procedure, the optimum condition for lead (II) and nickel (II) ions removal were obtained at initial concentration of 10.0 mg/L, biosorbent dosage of 1.0 g, solution pH of pH 6, and contact time of 360.00 minutes, which resulted in 95.08 % and 21.09 % removal of lead (II) and nickel (II) ions respectively.

The release of dyes in form of wastewater causes serious environmental problems such as retards photosynthesis, inhibit growth of aquatic biota by blocking out sunlight and utilizing dissolved oxygen. In this study, activated carbon derived from foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) empty fruit bunch (EFB) was used as an adsorbent to remove methylene blue in aqueous solution. The preparation process of activated carbon consisted of H2SO4 impregnation followed by carbonization at 300ºC for 24 hours. The optimization adsorption process was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) via Box-Behnken design. Three important operating variables namely dye concentration, contact time and adsorbent dosage were studied. The optimum conditions obtained were 100 ppm of methylene blue, 13 h of contact time and 2 g of activated carbon with the highest percentage of methylene blue removal of 99.9%. Based on the study, activated carbon derived from foxtail palm EFB showed good potential as an adsorbing agent.

Anionic clay hydrotalcite was used as an adsorbent to remove amido black dye from aqueous solutions. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a five-level, four-variable Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was employed to evaluate the interactive effects of various optimization parameters. The parameters were contact time (6-10 hrs), solution pH (4-8), adsorbent dosage (200-600 mg) and dye concentration (50-100 mg/I). Simultaneously increasing contact time, initial concentration and amount of adsorbent dosage increased the quantity of amido black dye removed. The optimum conditions derived via RSM for the reaction were a reaction time of 8.48 hrs, a concentration of 58. 09 mg/I, an adsorbent dosage of 431. 2 4 mg/L and a solution pH of 6.27. The experimental percentage removal was 85.55 % under optimum conditions, which compares well with the maximum predicted value of 87.95 %.

Oil Palm Trunk

The presence of organic dyes from industrial wastewater can cause pollution and exacerbate environmental problems; therefore, in the present work, activated carbon was synthesized from locally available oil palm trunk (OPT) biomass as a low-cost adsorbent to remove synthetic dye from aqueous media. The physical properties of the synthesized oil palm trunk activated carbon (OPTAC) were analyzed by SEM, FTIR-ATR, and XRD. The concurrent effects of the process variables (adsorbent dosage (g), methylene blue (MB) concentration (mg/L), and contact time (h)) on the MB removal percentage from aqueous solution were studied using a three-factor three-level Box–Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM), followed by the optimization of MB adsorption using OPTAC as the adsorbent. Based on the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the three parameters considered, adsorbent dosage (X1) is the most crucial parameter, with an F-value of 1857.43, followed by MB concentration (X2) and contact time (X3) with the F-values of 95.60 and 29.48, respectively. Furthermore, the highest MB removal efficiency of 97.9% was achieved at the optimum X1, X2, and X3 of 1.5 g, 200 mg/L, and 2 h, respectively.

In this study, iron zero-valent nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and studied for removal of methylene blue dye in water solution. The reactions were mathematically described as the function of parameters such as nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) dose, pH, contact time and initial dye concentration, and were modeled by the use of response surface methodology. These experiments were carried out as a central composite design consisting of 30 experiments determined by the 24 full factorial designs with eight axial points and six center points. The results revealed that the optimal conditions for dye removal were NZVI dose 0.1–0.9 g/L, pH 3–11, contact time 20–100 s, and initial dye concentration 10–50 mg/L, respectively. Under these optimal values of process parameters, the dye removal efficiency of 92.87% was observed, which very close to the experimental value (92.21%) in batch experiment. In the optimization, R2 and R2adj correlation coefficients for the model were evaluated as 0.96 and 0.93, respectively.

In the present study, the adsorption of Remazol Brillant Green 6B (RBG 6B) on chitin which characterized by BET, FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis was studied. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine interaction between solution pH, initial RBG 6B concentration and chitin dosage being individual variables and to optimize operating conditions. According to results of variance analysis (ANOVA), the second order polynomial model was statistically significant (P<0.0001) and coefficient of determination value (R2=0.98) was high. It was determined that dye removal efficiency increased when low solution pH and initial RBG 6B dye concentration and high chitin dosage were used. The maximum dye removal efficiency was obtained as 88% at solution pH of 3.0, initial RBG 6B concentration of 75 mg L-1 and chitin dosage of 5.0 g L-1. The isotherms and kinetics studies showed that Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics model fitted well to the RBG 6B adsorption data.
