Activated carbon prepared from grapefruit peel, an agricultural solid waste by-product, has been used for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH and temperature on adsorption of Cr(VI) were investigated. The maximum adsorption yield was obtained at the initial pH of 3. The dynamical data fit very well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the calculated adsorption capacities (23.98, 24.33 and 24.81 mg/g) were in good agreement with experiment results at 20°C, 30°C and 40 °C for the 100 mg/L Cr(VI) solution. The Freundlich model (R2 values were 0.9198-0.9871) fitted adsorption data better than the Langmuir model. The calculated parameters confirmed the favorable adsorption of Cr(VI) on the activated carbon prepared from grapefruit peel.

The adsorption of crystal violet dye from aqueous solutions onto an activated carbon prepared from peanut shells was analyzed in this study. The effects of particle size, initial concentration, time and temperature on crystal violet removal were studied in batch experiments. Experimental results showed that the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 100 min for all studied concentrations. Analysis of adsorption results showed that the adsorption isotherms could be well fitted to the Langmuir model. Kinetic parameters, rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and related correlation coefficients for pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic models were calculated and discussed. The results revealed that the adsorption kinetics was in good agreement with the pseudo second-order equation. Thermodynamic parameters such as the change of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), change of enthalpy (ΔH°) and change of entropy (ΔS°) have also been determined and it has been found that the adsorption process should be spontaneous, endothermic and physisorption in nature.

The present study is to explore the possibility of utilizing granular activated charcoal (GAC) for the removal of total phosphorous (T-P) and total nitrogen (T-N) in aqueous solution. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to determine the influences of various factors like initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The adsorption data showed that GAC has a similar adsorption capacity for both T-N and T-P. The adsorption degree of T-N and T-P on GAC was highly concentration dependent. It was found that the adsorption capacity of GAC is quite favorable at a low concentration. At concentrations of 1.0 mg L-1 of T-P and 2.0 mg L-1 of T-N, approximately 97 % of adsorption was achieved by GAC. The equilibrium data were fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model appeared to be the better-fitting model because it has higher R2 compared with the pseudo-first-order and intra-particle kinetic model. The theoretical adsorption equilibrium qe,cal from pseudo-second-order kinetic model were relatively similar to the experimental adsorption equilibrium qe,exp. To evaluate the effect of thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures, the change in free energy ΔG, the enthalpy ΔH and the entropy ΔS were estimated. Except for adsorption of T-P at 278 K, the ΔG values obtained were all negative at the investigated temperatures. It indicates that the present adsorption system occurs spontaneously. The adsorption process of T-N by GAC was exothermic in nature, whereas T-P showed endothermic behavior. In addition, the positive values of ΔS imply that there was the increase in the randomness of adsorption of T-N and T-P at GAC-solution interface.

Zero valent iron (ZVI) particles were embedded into porous materials to avoid aggregation and separation problems in the controlled synthesis process. To investigate the adsorption mechanism of crystal violet and methylene blue, activated carbon (AC) and AC-based ZVI extraction by solid-phase and liquid-phase reduced approaches was conducted. Characterization methods of specific surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffractograms (XRD) were used to elucidate the structure of adsorbents, and the adsorption capacities of crystal violet and methylene blue were obtained under experimental conditions of various pH values (2.0–10.0), adsorption times (0–72 h), and temperatures (30–50°C). The adsorption of crystal violet/methylene blue was controlled by both chemisorption and reduction. The adsorption processes were fitted to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and that of reduction kinetics was suitable to pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption of crystal violet and methylene blue was endothermic and spontaneous, and the adsorption isotherms fitted well to the Langmuir model. Different adsorption capacities of crystal violet and methylene blue on various adsorbents were found, indicating that both the properties of adsorbents (pore size, specific surface area, and chemical functional groups) and the structures of adsorbates had significant effect on the removal of dye molecules.

The following study explains that the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon used by Groundnut foliage and groundnut husk for the deportation of COD (Chemical Oxygen demand) from groundwater collected from in and around industrial areas of Vellore district was investigated with different activating conditions (Activating agent- KOH, ZnCl2 and H3PO4; Impregnation ratio-1:1,1:2,1:2; and activation temeperture-500-700°C. The activated carbon prepared based on optimized condition has well-developed pore structure and functional groups which is confirmed from SEM image and FTIR analysis respectively. The adsorption equilibrium was reached in 240 min with the isotherm data fitted well in both the model such as Langmuir model and Freundlich’s model indicating chemisorption’s adsorption for the activated carbon. Moreover, the adsorption process was exothermic accompanied by a decrease in irregularity. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetic study indicated that the adsorption process of the prepared sample follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model compare to the pseudo-first -order kinetic model

An activated carbon was developed from Moringa oleifera seed and modified with iron nanoparticles (AC-Fe) for application in the oils and greases (O&G) adsorption of the produced water. Activated carbon was prepared by pyrolysis and chemical activation using NaOH. Surface modification was performed by the wet impregnation method. AC-Fe was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analyzer (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titration, and point of zero charge (pHPZC). The amount of O&G adsorbed on AC-Fe was sensitive to pH, initial concentration and temperature, but independent of ionic strength. Freundlich isotherm adjusted well, confirming the heterogeneous distribution of active sites and multilayer. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately represents the O&G adsorption process by AC-Fe. Under different temperatures, the maximum amount of O&G adsorption in AC-Fe calculated by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was 121.95 mg g-1 (298 K), 111.11 mg g-1 (303 K), and 106.38 mg g-1 (308 K). This high adsorption capacity demonstrates the new material potential as a low-cost adsorbent for O&G removal.

The kinetic adsorption of p-cresol from aqueous solution onto mesoporous activated carbon was investigated for 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1 initial concentrations, at constant 295 K temperature. The kinetic of the adsorption process was discussed using three kinetic models, i.e., pseudo-first order kinetic model, pseudo-second order kinetic model, and Avrami fractionary order kinetic model. In order to provide a mathematically rigorous method for evaluating the kinetic parameters using the original form of the kinetic models, the nonlinear regression was selected as most viable algorithm. The common statistical tools was employed to check the accuracy of fit measure, namely, sum of the squares of the errors SSE, reduced sum of the squares of the errors Red-SSE, coefficient of determination R2, adjusted coefficient of determination Adj R2 and standard deviation SD.

Nanosilica was synthesized via the hydrothermal technique, followed by the vacuum frying system at low temperature and pressure. Then, the achieved nanoparticles were used for removing of Crystal Violet dye (CV) from wastewater. The absorbent and absorption process were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under different conditions including contact time, initial concentration of dye and adsorbent dose. The kinetic study of CV dye on the nanoparticles can be well depicted theoretically by using pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract Magnetic ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite (ZnFe-NC) was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous solution. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, BET and FTIR. The effects of various parameters such as initial RB concentration (5–25 mg L−1), pH (3.4–11.1) and temperature (20–60°C) were investigated. The adsorption capacity at equilibrium increased from 5.02 to 9.83 mg g−1, with the increase in the initial concentration of RB from 5 to 25 mg L−1 at pH 7.0 and at 20°C. The experimental results indicated that the maximum RB removal could be attained at a solution pH of 4.4 and the adsorption capacity obtained was 6.02 mg g−1. Kinetic adsorption data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, the pseudo-second-order model and the intraparticle diffusion model. The adsorption kinetics well fitted using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using two isotherm models, namely, Langmuir and Freundlich. The results revealed that the adsorption behavior of the RB onto ZnFe-NC fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, various thermodynamic parameters, such as standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) have been calculated.
