The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of applying commercial activated carbons currently used in water treatment plants and modified carbon at 400 and 800 °C in the atmosphere of air, water vapour and carbon dioxide to remove chloramphenicol. Adsorption kinetics was examined for solutions with pH of 2–10. Adsorption kinetics were determined for the initial concentration of chloramphenicol of 161 mg/dm3 and the adsorption isotherm was determined for the concentrations of 161 to 1615 mg/dm3. Of the analysed activated carbons (F-300, F-100, WG-12, ROW 08 Supra and Picabiol), the highest adsorption capacity was obtained for the use of Picabiol (214 mg/g), characterized by the highest specific surface area and pore volume. The pH value of the solution has little effect on the adsorption of chloramphenicol (the highest adsorption was found for pH = 10, qm = 190 mg/g, whereas the lowest—for pH = 6, qm = 208 mg/g). Modification of activated carbon WG-12 at 800 °C caused an increase in adsorption capacity from 195 mg/g (unmodified carbon) to 343 mg/g. A high correlation coefficient was found between the capacity of activated carbons and the total volume of micropores and mesopores. Among the examined adsorption kinetics equations (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion), the lowest values of the R2 correlation coefficient were obtained for the pseudo-first order equation. Other models with high correlation coefficient values described the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption results were modelled by means of the Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubibin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherms. For all activated carbons and process conditions, the best match to the test results was obtained using the Langmuir model, whereas the lowest was found for the Dubibin–Radushkevich model.

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 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 In this work, the efficiency of Ulva fasciata sp. activated carbons (CCUC, SCUC and SSUC) and commercially activated carbon (CAC) were studied for the removal of Cu (II) ions from synthetic wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, contact time, initial copper concentration and adsorbent dose. The percentage adsorption of copper by CCUC, SSUC, SCUC and CAC are 88.47%, 97.53%, 95.78% and 77.42% respectively. Adsorption data were fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models. Two kinetic models pseudo first order and the pseudo second order were selected to interpret the adsorption data.

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 This study focuses on characterizing the adsorption kinetics of sex hormones (estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, and estriol) on electrospun nanofibrous polymeric nanostructures based on cellulose acetate, polyamide, polyethersulfone, polyurethane, and polyacrylonitrile. The materials’ structure possessed fibers of average diameter in the range 174-330 nm, while its specific surface area equaled 10.2 to 20.9 m2/g. The adsorption-desorption process was investigated in four cycles to determine the reusability of the sorption systems. A one-step high-performance liquid chromatography technique was developed to detect concurrently each hormone present in the solution. Experimental data was applied to gauge adsorption kinetics with the aid of pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models; findings showed that estrone, estradiol, and ethinylestradiol followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, while estriol followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. It was observed that polyurethane had maximum adsorption capacities of 0.801, 0.590, 0.736, and 0.382 mg/g for estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, and estriol, respectively. The results revealed that polyurethane had the highest percentage efficiency of estrogens removal at ~58.9% and lowest for polyacrylonitrile at ~35.1%. Consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles demonstrated that polyurethane maintained high efficiency, even after being used four times compared with the other polymers. The findings indicate the studied nanostructures have the potential to be effective sorbents for eradicating these estrogens concurrently from the environment.

The textile industry stands out for generating effluents with high levels of dyes, which have a high polluting potential. Among these dyes, the Remazol Brilliant Blue R azo dye, is one of the most used for dyeing wool and cotton, being released in excess on these effluents. Intended for the carcinogenic and mutagenic potential of this type of dyes, several researches are developed in search of economical technologies for their removal. An adsorption is a viable technique, since several materials can be used for this purpose. Bovine bone activated carbon, as it is a residue from the livestock industry that is easily obtained, has been studied as an adsorbent material in the removal of dyes. Therefore, the objective of this project was to evaluate the performance of the adsorption kinetics of the Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye from the effluents using bovine bone activated carbon. The experiments were carried out in batches, with solutions concentrations of 20, 50 and 100 ppm, and the mathematical models of pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion were adjusted to the experimental data. For concentrations of 20 and 50 ppm, the model that best fits was the pseudo-first order, while for the concentration of 100 ppm the pseudo-second order model obtained the best result with R2 of 0.992. The intraparticle diffusion model showed that the higher the concentration of the dye in solution, the greater the thickness of the boundary layer and that the intraparticle diffusion does not control the adsorption process in any of the study criteria.

An original activated carbon prepared from walnut peel, which was activated by zinc chloride, was modified with ammonium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide in order to contrast the adsorption property of the three different activated carbons. The experiment used a static adsorption test for p-nitrophenol. The effects of parameters such as initial concentration, contact time and pH value on amount adsorbed and removal are discussed in depth. The thermodynamic data of adsorption were analyzed by Freundlich and Langmuir models. The kinetic data of adsorption were measured by the pseudo-first-order kinetics and the pseudo-second-order kinetics models. The results indicated that the alkalized carbon samples derived from walnut peel had a better performance than the original activated carbon treated with zinc chloride. It was found that adsorption equilibrium time was 6 h. The maximum removal rate of activated carbon treated with zinc chloride for p-nitrophenol was 87.3% at pH 3,whereas the maximum removal rate of the two modified activated carbon materials was found to be 90.8% (alkalized with ammonium hydroxide) and 92.0% (alkalized with sodium hydroxide) at the same pH. The adsorption data of the zinc chloride activated carbon were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The two alkalized activated carbon samples were fitted well to the Freundlich model. The pseudo-second-order dynamics equation provided better explanation of the adsorption dynamics data of the three activated carbons than the pseudo-first-order dynamics equation.

In this work, the adsorptive removal of methylene blue and methyl orange by UiO-66-NO2 nanoparticles was studied. The influence of pH on the adsorption capacity was assessed. The kinetics of the adsorption process were investigated and compared with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle models. The kinetics of the adsorption fits moderately with the pseudo-first-order, but perfectly fits with pseudo-second-order models, and has a very good fit with the Elovich and intraparticle models. The adsorption isotherms were measured and compared with the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The adsorption capacity of methyl orange (MO) on UiO-66-NO2 nanoparticles (142.9 mg/g) was over three times higher than that of methylene blue (MB) on the nanoparticles (41.7 mg/g). The discrepancy between these capacities was attributed to the presence of the -NO2 functional group, which caused a strong negative mesomeric effect in the metal-organic framework structure.
