Ferric hydrosulfate minerals are commonly byproducts of biotic oxidation of Fe (II) in acid mine drainage and biohydrometallurgy like biogenic jarosite. In this study, adsorption of Cr (VI) on jarosite was a rapid process and the optimum pH for Cr (VI) adsorption was found at 7.0. The variation of Cr (VI) adsorbed on jarosite fitted the Langmuir adsorption isotherm models and the maximum adsorption capacity was 3.23 mg/g. It was evident that anion exchange mechanism was responsible for Cr (VI) adsorption on jarosite based on the sulfate leaching data and optimum pH experiments.

The objective of this study was to investigate the use of carbonized medlar-core particles as a new biosorbent to remove Cu2+ from aqueous solution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the biosorbent. This paper reports the effects of adsorbent dose, pH, temperature and concentration of adsorbate. Batch isotherm studies were also performed to understand the ability of the adsorbent. The adsorption behavior of the Cu2+ was studied using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity determined from the Langmuir adsorption equation has been found as 43.478 mg.g−1 at 298.15 K. The adsorption of Cu2+ by medlar core in carbonized form was spontaneous and endothermic. It was also found that the biosorption of Cu2+ followed second-order kinetics. Carbonized medlar-core particles showed great potential in aqueous solution due to the high adsorption capacity.

Abstract The adsorption of penicillin G (PC-G) from aqueous solution by magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles has been investigated. This experimental study was conducted in a laboratory scale. The effects of various operating parameters such as pH (3–11), the dosage of MgO nanoparticles (0.3–1.5 g/L), contact time (20–150 min), and concentration of PC-G (50–200 mg/L) were studied. The results showed that under optimal conditions of concentration of 50 mg/L, pH 3, MgO nanoparticles dosage of 1.5 g/L and contact time of 60 min, the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of PC-G adsorption on MgO nanoparticles obtained was 25.66 mg/g. The process of penicillin G adsorption on MgO nanoparticles was found to depend on Langmuir (II) and Langmuir (III) adsorption isotherm models. It could be concluded that the MgO nanoparticles can be used for PC-G removal from its aqueous solution.

Objectives : The adsorption characteristics of Fe, Cd, and Mn in aqueous solution using zeolite and FeS media were investigated by the adsorption isotherm and kinetic model analysis.Methods : The adsorption characteristics of the heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cd) were investigated using Langmuir or Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The analysis of pseudo-first or pseudo-second order reaction was also attempted to evaluate the rate limiting factor such as molecular diffusion or chemical adsorption on the absorbents.Results and discussion : The adsorption of the heavy metals on the zeolite and FeS media was more suitable for the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, representing that mono-layer absorption on the surface and no interaction between the absorbed solutes. The order of adsorption preference to zeolite was Fe > Cd > Mn, whereas the order of adsorption preference to FeS media was Cd > Fe > Mn. The adsorption kinetics of zeolite and FeS media were more suitable for pseudo-secondary reactions than for pseudo-primary reaction.Conclusions : The absorption capacity of FeS media for the heavy metals (Fe, Cd and Mn) in aqueous solution was higher than that of zeolite. The adsorption pattern was suitable for the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and has kinetic characteristic by chemisorption.

In the present work, Saccharum bengalense (SB) was treated with sulfuric acid to enhance its efficiency. Methyl violet (MV), a cationic dye, was removed from aqueous medium using acid modified S. bengalense (A-SB). Different parameters like adsorbent dosage, stirring speed, temperature, contact time and effect of initial concentration of dye on rate of adsorption of dye from aqueous medium was studied. Experimental data obtained from adsorption of MV was analyzed by applying pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra-particle diffusion models and it was found that the data best follows the pseudosecond order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that adsorption reaction was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic in nature. Different adsorption isotherm models, like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin, were used to study the mechanism of adsorption process and experimental data was well fitted by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

The batch removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution using poly (furfural-acetone), (PFA) as adsorbent was investigated in this study. The influences of initial Cu(II) ion concentration (10 to 120 ppm), pH (4-8) and contact time have been reported. Adsorption of Cu(II) is highly pH-dependent and the result indicate that the optimum pH for the removal was found to be 6. At this pH a small amount of PFA, 2 g/L, could remove as much as 97% of Cu(II) from a solution of initial concentration 10 ppm. It was observed that an increase in initial concentration of Cu(II) leads to decrease in percent removal of Cu(II) and increase in amount of Cu(II) adsorbed per unit mass of PFA. The adsorption process of Cu(II) is tested with four isotherm models, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R). It was found that all models were applicable and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 13.66 mg/g. From the isotherm constants it was confirmed that, the sorption process was physisorption.

Zeolite as an adsorbent has been widely used. Zeolite activation was carried out to increase the absorption. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the active zeolite and apply it as an adsorbent. The activation process was carried out by adding acid and calcining at 4500C for 6 hours. Remazol Yellow FG is a dye that is widely used in the textile industry. In this study, the adsorption process was carried out on the Remazol Yellow FG solution, then analyzed the effect of changes in pH (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), contact time (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 minutes) and the concentration of Remazol Yellow FG solution ( 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 ppm) on the adsorption of Remazol Yellow FG dye. From the analysis of the sample solution of Remazol Yellow, the values of Ce and qe can be calculated. These values were then used to calculate KL and KF in the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. From the experimental results, it could be seen that as the contact time increased, the adsorption capacity would be greater. However, when the zeolite was already in the saturated phase, the adsorption capacity would tend to decrease. In the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, the KL value was 0.0274 L/mg and in the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model, the KF value was 29.25 L/mg. Remazol Yellow FG adsorption tended to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with an R2 value of 0.998.

The dyeing of modified pulp, particularly with regard to the mechanism involved, was studied. The reaction mechanism for the modification of cellulose fibres in aqueous solution by cationic agents was also described. The results obtained were expressed in the form of adsorption isotherms. The capture of molecules, colloidal particles, etc. during the adsorption processes involving modified pulp could be explained by two possible mechanisms: (i) aggregation (coagulation or flocculation) in solution followed by adsorption and (ii) surface aggregation (coagulation or flocculation). Surface aggregation appeared to be the most likely for pulp with a low degree of modification. The typical Langmuir adsorption isotherm correlated the data obtained for unmodified pulp very well.

The biosorption of C. I. Reactive Red 2 from aqueous solution onto biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined. The biosorption studies were carried out under various parameters such as initial pH, contact time and initial dye concentration. The experimental results showed that optimum pH for dye biosorption was found to be 2.0 for the yeast biomass. The bosorption capacity was increased with the increasing initial dye concentration in studied dye concentration range. It was found that the adsorption equilibrium data followed the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from the Langmuir equation at temperature of 30°C was 500mg/g (R2=0.991) for the dye. The results indicate that the biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be used as an effective biosorbent to removal C. I. Reactive Red 2 from aqueous solution.
