The magadiite–magnetite (MAG–Fe3O4) nanocomposite has great potential applications in the field of biomaterials research. It has been used as a novel magnetic sorbent, prepared by co-precipitation method. It has the dual advantage of having the magnetism of Fe3O4 and the high adsorption capacity of pure magadiite (MAG). MAG–Fe3O4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were deposited on the interlayer and surface of magadiite. MAG–Fe3O4 was treated as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption properties of MAG–Fe3O4 were investigated on methylene blue; however, the results showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 improved remarkably compared with MA and Fe3O4. The adsorption capacity of MAG–Fe3O4 and the removal ratio of methylene blue were 93.7 mg/g and 96.2%, respectively (at 25 °C for 60 min, pH = 7, methylene blue solution of 100 mg/L, and the adsorbent dosage 1 g/L). In this research, the adsorption experimental data were fitted and well described using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The research results further showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 was better than that of MAG and Fe3O4. Moreover, the adsorption behavior of MB on MAG–Fe3O4 was investigated to fit well in the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption kinetics. The authors also concluded that the isothermal adsorption was followed by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model; however, it was found that the adsorption of the MAG–Fe3O4 nanocomposite was a monolayer adsorption.

In this study, the sorption of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions of Zeolite NaA by performing batch kinetic sorption experiments. The equilibrium kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. A comparison was made of the linear least-squares method and nonlinear method of the widely used pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the sorption of Cu(II) ions of Zeolite . Four pseudo-second-order kinetic linear equations are discussed. Kinetic parameters obtained from the four kinetic linear equations using the linear method differed but they were the same when using the non-linear method. Kinetic parameters obtained from four kinetic linear equations using the linear method differed. Equation type 1 pseudo-second-order kinetic model very well represented the kinetic of the adsorption Cu(II) ions by Zeolite NaA. Equation type 4 exhibited the worst fit. Present investigation showed that the non-linear method may be a better way to determine the kinetic parameters.

The utilization of hydroxyapatite as an adsorbent has been extensively tested to remove the dye and heavy metal. Yet the adsorbent loss to the environment may lead to secondary pollutant issues. Consequently, the hydroxyapatite was incorporated with Fe3O4 amount variation to solve the secondary pollutant problem by utilizing the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 to recollect the adsorbent. In this work, FESEM images showed a mixture of nano-sizes rods and spherical particles corresponded to the presence of hydroxyapatite and Fe3O4 as a composite. The study found that hydroxyapatite- Fe3O4 (100 wt %) could eliminate 12.434 mg methylene blue/g adsorbent after 4 hours. The hydroxyapatite also gained improvement in its surface area from 59.8m2/g to 75.2m2/g when Fe3O4 is added. In addition, the adsorption of methylene blue fits the Freundlich isotherms and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the methylene blue removal using hydroxyapatite-Fe3O4 composite can be kept at 80% even after 4 times experiments, showing the recyclability of hydroxyapatite-Fe3O4.

An activated carbon was prepared from pea shells and used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The influence of various factors such as adsorbent concentration, initial dye concentration, temperature, contact time, pH, and surfactant was studied. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. The adsorption isotherm was found to follow the Langmuir model. The monolayer sorption capacity of activated carbon prepared from pea shell for MB was found to be 246.91 mg g−1at 25∘C. Two simplified kinetic models including pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equation were selected to follow the adsorption processes. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Various thermodynamic parameters such as , , and were evaluated. The results in this study indicated that activated carbon prepared from pea shell could be employed as an adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

Activated carbon is a prominent material for adsorption of atrazine, however its usage is restricted due to the high cost. Thus, alternative adsorbent derived from agricultural waste has been investigated. This study focused on the feasibility of developing low-cost adsorbent from oil palm shell for removal of atrazine from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was derived from oil palm shell using HNO3 treatment. The derived adsorbent was characterized for the surface morphology and surface chemistry using SEM and FTIR, respectively. Adsorption equilibrium experiments were carried out in batch mode to investigate the effects of adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, contact time and solution pH on the adsorption uptake of atrazine on the adsorbent. The Freundlich isotherm model showed a better correlation compared to Langmuir isotherm model to fit the equilibrium data, giving the adsorption capacity of 0.046 mg/g(l/mg)1/n at 30 oC. Atrazine solutions with pH 2 showed the highest adsorption uptake of 17.68%. The highest percentage removal was found to be 6.06% with adsorbent dosage of 2 g/200 ml. The adsorption process was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model more than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model as the correlation coefficients, R2 for the pseudo-second-order kinetic model were relatively higher for all atrazine concentrations, ranging from 0.878-0.999. The adsorbent derived was proven to be feasible in removing atrazine from aqueous solutions.

Natural adsorbents as low-cost materials have been proved efficient for water remediation and have significant capacity for the removal of certain chemicals from wastewater. The present investigation aimed to use Citrullus colocynthis seeds (CCSs) and peels (CCPs) as an efficient natural adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution. The examined biosorbents were characterized using surface area analyzer (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to optimize the main factors influencing the biosorption process. The equilibrium data for the adsorption of MB by CCSs were best described by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Freundlich adsorption isotherms, while the equilibrium data for MB adsorption by CCPs were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm followed by the Temkin isotherm. Under optimum conditions, the maximum biosorption capacity and removal efficiency were 18.832 mg g−1 and 98.00% for MB-CCSs and 4.480 mg g−1 and 91.43% for MB-CCPs. Kinetic studies revealed that MB adsorption onto CCSs obeys pseudo-first order kinetic model (K1 = 0.0274 min−1), while MB adsorption onto CCPs follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model (K2 = 0.0177 g mg−1 min−1). Thermodynamic studies revealed that the MB biosorption by CCSs was endothermic and a spontaneous process in nature associated with a rise in randomness, but the MB adsorption by CCPs was exothermic and a spontaneous process only at room temperature with a decline in disorder. Based on the obtained results, CCSs and CCPSs can be utilized as efficient, natural biosorbents, and CCSs is promising since it showed the highest removal percentage and adsorption capacity of MB dye.

Pretreated waste Streptomyces fradiae biomass was utilized as an eco-friendly sorbent for Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of pH, biosorbent dosage, initial concentration of adsorbates, contact time and temperature on the biosorption of the two dyes. The equilibrium adsorption data were analysed using Freundlich and Langmuir models. Both models fitted well the experimental data. The maximum biosorption capacity of the pretreated Streptomyces fradiae biomass was 46.64 mg g-1 for CR and 59.63 mg g-1 for MB, at a pH 6.0, with the contact time of 120 min, the biosorbent dosage of 2 g dm-3 and the temperature of 298 K. Lagergren and Ho kinetic models were used to analyse the kinetic data obtained from different batch experiments. The biosorption of both dyes followed better the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The calculated values for ?G, ?S, and ?H indicated that the biosorption of CR and MB onto the waste pretreated biomass was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic in the selected temperature range and conditions.
