AbstractThe present study investigates the removal of copper ions (Cu (II)) from aqueous solution using chemically treated rice husk (TRH). The chemical treatment was carried out using NaOH solution and the effect of contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (Dad), initial Cu (II) concentration ([Cu]i), and temperature (T) on the percentage removals of Cu (II) (%RCu) were investigated. Different analytical techniques (FTIR, SEM, and EDX) were used to confirm the adsorption (ads) of Cu (II) onto the TRH. The ads kinetics was tested against pseudo-first-order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order (PSO) models as well as Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Treating RH with NaOH altered the surface and functional groups, and on the surface of RH, the ionic ligands with high electro-attraction to Cu increased and thus improved the removal efficiency. The %RCu decreased by increasing the [Cu]i and increased by increasing the ct, Dad, and T. Up to 97% Cu removal was achieved in ct of 30 min using Dad of 0.3 g [Cu]i of 25 mg L−1 and T = 280 K. The ads of Cu on TRH is endothermic, spontaneous, follows Langmuir isotherms, and exhibited a PSO kinetics. Moreover, the TRH was successfully regenerated and used for further adsorption cycles using 1 M HNO3.

Abstract To remove Ni(II) ions from an aqueous solution, researchers used red mud modified by chitosan (RM/CS) material as a new adsorbent. According to the findings, the surface area of red mud is nearly doubled after being treated with chitosan, from 68.6 m2/g to 105.7 m2/g. The effects of pH solution, contact time, and material dosage on the Ni(II) uptake were examined. In comparison with the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, the intra-diffusion model was the most suitable kinetic model for the Ni(II) removal. Besides, the three-parameter Sips model was used to predict the Ni(II) adsorption of RM/CS from aqueous solution. Furthermore, the Langmuir maximum Ni(II) uptake capacity of this material was 31.66 mg/g at 323K, which was higher than red mud and several other natural materials. Notably, thermodynamic investigations demonstrated that Ni(II) adsorption on RM/CS is both exothermic and physic.

The use of camellia oleifera abel shells as biosorbent has been successfully demonstrated in the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The effects of different parameters, such as, contact time, initial concentration of Cr (VI), pH and temperature on Cr (VI) adsorption were investigated. The results showed that the maximum uptake of Cr (VI) was up to 190.69 mg/g at a pH value of around 1.0, under the initial Cr (VI) concentration of 400mg/L and at the temperature of 298 K. The adsorption kinetics could be described by pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetics models.

Abstract Camellia oleifera shell-based activated carbon (COSAC) was prepared by H3PO4 activation method and further used to remove U(VI) from the aqueous solution in a batch system. This research examined the influence of various factors affecting U(VI) removal, including contact time, pH, initial U(VI) concentration, and temperature. The results showed that the U(VI) adsorption capacity and removal efficiency reached 71.28 mg/g and 89.1% at the initial U(VI) concentration of 160 mg/L, temperature of 298 K, pH 5.5, contact time of 60 min, and COSAC dosage of 2.0 g/L. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion equations were used to identify the optimum model that can describe the U(VI) adsorption kinetics. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model performed better in characterizing the adsorption system compared with the pseudo-first-order and intraparticle diffusion models. Isotherm data were also discussed with regard to the appropriacy of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models. The Langmuir model described the U(VI) adsorption process the best with a maximum adsorption capacity of 78.93 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis (ΔG0 < 0, ΔH0 > 0, and ΔS0 > 0) indicated that the U(VI) adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. All the results imply that COSAC has a promising application in the removal or recovery of U(VI) from aqueous solutions.

Phenol is a prevalent pollutant found in many industrial wastewaters, and it is paid singular attention because of its special features including high toxicity, carcinogenic properties, and vital cumulative ability that affects the health of humans and the environment. The current study investigated the removal of phenol from synthetic aqueous solutions using prepared Moringaoleifera seed shell as an adsorbent. The efficiency of phenol removal by Moringaoleifera seed shell was evaluated in a batch system, and different parameters such as initial concentration of phenol (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg/L), contact time (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min), and adsorbent dosage (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 g) were studied. The results showed that the highest percentage of phenol removal by the ash occurred at 0.8 g dosage, contact time of 40 min, and initial concentration of 500 mg/L giving 87.2% phenol removal. The adsorption process was modeled with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and adsorption kinetics (pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order) at controlled temperatures. The results showed that the experimental data fitted the Langmuir (R2 = 0.8338) much better than the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.7314). For the analysis of the adsorption kinetics, the results showed that the experimental data fitted the pseudo-second order kinetics (R2 = 0.999) much better than the pseudo-first order kinetics (R2 = 0.5042). In general, the results of this study revealed that Moringaoleifera seed shell has suitable potential for use in removing phenol from aqueous solution on operation and practical scales due to its availability and organic nature.

Abstract Our recently tailored and fully characterized poly (AN)-starch nanoparticle graft copolymer having 60.1 G.Y. % was used as a starting substrate for copper ions removal from waste water effluent after chemical modification with hydroxyl amine via oximation reaction. This was done to change the abundant nitrile groups in the above copolymer into amidoxime one and the resultant poly (amidoxime) resin was used as adsorbent for copper ions. The resin was characterized qualitatively via rapid vanadium ion test and instrumentally by FT-IR spectra and SEM morphological analysis to confirm the presence of amidoxime groups. The adsorption capacity of the resin was done using the batch technique, whereas the residual copper ions content in the filtrate before and after adsorption was measured using atomic adsorption spectrometry. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity of poly (amidoxime) resin was 115.2 mg/g at pH 7, 400ppm copper ions concentration and 0.25 g adsorbent at room temperature. The adsorption, kinetics and isothermal study of the process is scrutinized using different variables, such as pH, contact time, copper ion concentration and adsorbent dosage. Different kinetics models comprising the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order have been applied to the experimental data to envisage the adsorption kinetics. It was found from kinetic study that pseudo-second-order rate equation was better than pseudo-first-order supporting the formation of chemisorption process. While, in case of isothermal study, the examination of calculated correlation coefficient (R2) values showed that the Langmuir model provide the best fit to experimental data than Freundlich one.

The objective of this study was to investigate the biosorption of Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions from aqueous solution by calcium alginate beads. The effects of solution pH, contact time and initial metal ion concentration were evaluated. The results showed that maximum Cu (II) removal (93.10%) occurred at pH of 9.0, contact time of 120 minutes and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L while that of Ni (II) was 94.6%, which was achieved at pH of 8.0, contact time of 120 minutes and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L. The equilibrium data fitted well to the Langmuir Isotherm indicating that the process is a monolayer adsorption. The coefficients of determination, R2, values for the Langmuir Isotherm were 0.9799 and 0.9822 respectively for Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions. The values of the maximum biosorption capacity, Qo, were 10.79 and 6.25 mgg-1 respectively. The kinetic data also revealed that the sorption process could best be described by the pseudo – second order kinetic model. The R2 values for the pseudo – second order kinetic plots for Cu (II) and Ni (II) were 0.9988 and 0.9969 respectively. These values were higher than those for the pseudo – first order plots. The values of the biosorption capacity qe obtained from the pseudo – second order plots were very close to the experimental values of qe indicating that the biosorption process follows the second order kinetics. This study has therefore shown that calcium alginate beads can be used for the removal of Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions from wastewaters.

This Research investigated the adsorption capacity of locally prepared adsorbents from Egg shells for the removal of fluoride ion in well water. It evaluated the performance of these adsorbents calcinated at 3000C and modified with 1.0M HNO3 (trioxonitrate (v)) acid. Batch adsorber was used to allow for interaction between adsorbent (grounded Egg shells) with water containing fluoride ion. The batch experiment was performed with particle size of 2.12 contact time (60, 120, 180, 240, 300min), mass dosage (5g, 10g, 15g, 20g) and temperature (250C, 300C, 400C, 500C). The modified adsorbent was characterized to determine the physiochemical properties of grounded Egg shells (GE). Also the chemical composition of the modified adsorbent was analyzed to determine the percentage of calcium element required for the uptake of the fluoride ions in water for calcium as 39.68% for grounded Egg shells (GE). Percentage adsorption increased with increase in contact time, mass dosage and temperature for the adsorbent. The adsorption capacity was also determined which also increased with increase in contact time, temperature but decreased with increase in mass dosage at constant time of 60minutes. The pseudo first-order, pseudo second order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models were fitted into the experimental results. The results obtained indicated that the pseudo first order and intraparticle diffusion models for the grounded Egg shells (GE) reasonably described the adsorption process very well whereas the pseudo second order model was not suitable for a calcinations temperature of 3000C and particle size of 2.12m. The adsorption isotherms were obtained from equilibrium experiment Performed at temperature of 25, 35, 45 and 550C. The result showed that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm fitted perfectly the experimental data. However, the negative values of Gibb’s free energy indicated that adsorption was favourable and the positive enthalpy change H0 revealed that adsorption process was endothermic while the positive value of the entropy change signified increased randomness with adsorption.

Abstract Abstract This work investigates the removal of phenol from aqueous solution using Araucaria Columnaris bark (ACB) as biochar. Five different types of biochars were developed through pyrolysis at different temp from 300 to 500°C. The effects of initial concentration, contact time, pH and temperature on adsorption behavior were studied in batch mode for each biochar. The optimum contact time observed for equilibrium condition was 60 mins for every biochar. And, the maximum adsorption followed the order 298 K > 308 K > 318 K. Adsorption equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms by non-linear regression method and kinetic data by linear regression method, and fitted to pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and Intraparticle diffusion models. Adsorption kinetics was reasonably described by pseudo-second order model with R 2 value 0.99. Thermodynamic parameters were also estimated that implied, the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic in nature. Study further showed that the acidic pH increased adsorption capacity of biochar but decreases continuously towards basic side. The removal of phenol with prepared biochar was achieved as high as 100 % for ACB-500. The maximum iodine adsorption value of prepared biochar was found to be 453.3 mg/g.

Graphene is a newly discovered material and is considered to be the new wonder material for many applications. The recent possibility of obtaining pure and fully characterized graphene opens the door to the study of the adsorption of toxic materials on graphene. The adsorption behavior of p-nitrophenol on graphene was studied in aqueous medium. The effect of each of pH, temperature, and dosage was emphasized. The highest calculated adsorption capacity of 4-nitrophenol was found to be 15.5 mg/g, assuming Langmuir fitting starting from 11.1 mg/g initial concentration at 298 K and pH = 6. Fitting the data using the Freundlich isotherm model predicted a favorable adsorption process (n > 1). The rise and saturation areas of the isotherms were fitted as pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order processes, respectively, with relatively good fit (k1 = 0.0023/s, k2 = 0.68 g mg−1 s−1). The thermodynamic properties indicated a spontaneous and exothermic process.

In this paper, the adsorption properties of TNT on Rice husk active carbon (RHAC) were investigated. The effects of contact time was examined. Kinetic data obtained at different concentrations were conducted using Lagergren’s pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and diffusion models. The regression results showed that the adsorption kinetics was more accurately represented by pseudo second-order model. The study indicates that there is significant potential for RHAC as an adsorbent material for TNT removal from wastewater.
