The removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous medium was studied using potato peels biomass. The adsorption process was evaluated using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The Vibrational band of the potato peels was studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption process was carried out with respect to concentration, time, pH, particle size and the thermodynamic evaluation of the process was carried at temperatures of 30, 40, 50 and 60(0C), respectively. The FTIR studies revealed that the potato peels was composed of –OH, -NH, –C=N, –C=C and –C-O-C functional groups. The optimum removal was obtained at pH 8 and contact time of 20 min. The adsorption process followed Freundlich adsorption and pseudo second-order kinetic models with correlation coefficients (R2) greater than 0.900. The equilibrium adsorption capacity showed that Pb(II) ion was more adsorbed on the surface of the potato peels biomass versus Cd (II) ion (200.91 mg/g > 125.00 mg/g). The thermodynamic studies indicated endothermic, dissociative mechanism and spontaneous adsorption process. This study shows that sweet potato peels is useful as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous medium.

The adsorption performance of sulphuric acid treated low cost adsorbent synthesized by using Citrus limettioides peel as an effective raw material for the removal of cadmium(II) from water. The batch adsorption method was carried out to optimize some parameters like contact time, pH and adsorbent dose. The nonlinear isotherm equations were used to calculate the different isotherm constant of five isotherm models namely Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson and Sips. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of chemically modified Citrus limettioides peel was found to be 287.60 mg g-1. The negative values of ΔGº and ΔHº showed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic.

The purpose of this work is to prepare a low-cost biosorbent,Porous Magnetic/Chitosan Resin(MCR), and determine the ability of this biosorbent to removing Ni (II) ion from aqueous medium. Both kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process were also estimated. The thermodynamic parameters indicated an exothermic spontaneous process and the kinetics followed the second-order adsorption process.

The excessive release of phosphorus (P) by discharge of domestic and industrial effluents is directly associated with the eutrophication of water bodies. Therefore, an efficient removal of P from effluents is required. The method most commonly used for P removal from wastewater is chemical precipitation. However, this technique is relatively expensive and demands a proper disposal for the sludge. Therefore, the development of new materials with low cost but high P removal efficiency has been investigated. The introduction of exotic species in aquatic environments is considered a serious environmental problem in different parts of the world. Considering that, many of these species have high concentrations of carbonates in their exoskeleton composition, which is potentially useful in water treatment, particularly for P removal the use of such material as adsorbent has been tested. The present study aimed to investigate the capacity of the exoskeleton of exotic species in powder form to remove orthophosphates from water comparing the raw material (RCS), with physically modified (CSA) and chemically modified (CSC) material. To study the orthophosphates removal efficiency, a factorial design with central composite rotational design (CCRD) was applied. In order to optimize the P removal, the influence of the independent variables adsorbent/adsorbate ratio, pH and temperature was investigated with the kinetic control associate at each configuration obtained by CCRD. The P removal capacity of RCS varied from 125.0 mgP kg-1 to 1002.5 mgP kg-1; the removal capacity of CSA varied from 237.5 mgP kg-1 to 1540.0 mgP kg-1. The removal capacity of CSC varied from 5212.5 mgP kg-1 to 12672.5 mgP kg-1. Based on the preliminary results, the exoskeleton powder showed to be a potentially sustainable alternative as adsorbent material (mostly the chemically modified form CSC) useful in several applications, such as the treatment of urban and industrial wastewaters to prevent eutrophication of water bodies and population control of exotic species due to the commercial exploitation.

AbstractThe present work investigates the adsorptive interactions of Hg(II) ions in aqueous medium with hydroxylated silica, aminopropylsilica and silica chemically modified by β-cyclodextrin. Batch adsorption studies were carried out with various agitation times and mercury(II) concentrations. The maximum adsorption was observed within 15–30 min of agitation. The kinetics of the interactions, tested with the model of Lagergren for pseudo-first and pseudo-second order equations, showed better agreement with first order kinetics (k1 = 3.4 ± 0.2 to 5.9 ± 0.3 min−1). The adsorption data gave good fits with Langmuir isotherms. The results have shown that β-cyclodextrin-containing adsorbent has the largest adsorption specificity to Hg(II): K L = 4125 ± 205 mmol−1. “β-cyclodextrin-NO3-” inclusion complexes with ratio 1: 1 and super molecules with composition C42H70O35 ⊎ 3 Hg(NO3)2 are formed on the surface of β-cyclodextrin-containing silica.
