Activated charcoal was prepared from waste tire by using pyrolysis technique in three different atmospheres, viz, air, nitrogen and a combined atmosphere of nitrogen and water (steam). Methylene blue was then adsorbed on to these activated charcoals and the kinetics of adsorption was also studied. The adsorption isotherms of methylene blue were simulated by the mathematical equations of Langmuir and Freundlich. The Langmuir isotherms were found to have better fitting than that of Freundlich. The Qmax values obtained from Langmuir model were 0.032, 0.036, and 0.092 mmol/g for the activated charcoals prepared in air, nitrogen and nitrogen and water (steam), respectively. The overall reaction was found to be pseudo-second order with the rate constant of 4.2 × 10-2 L g/(mmolmin). The equilibrium adsorption value obtained from the kinetics data i.e. 0.072 (mmol/g) was found to be comparable with that obtained from Langmuir model.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v27i1.6437 J.

We report on a tunable solid-state approach to modify the acidity of cotton substrates using citric, oxalic, and fumaric acids. The first stage of the method involves soaking the cotton swatches in an ethanolic saturated solution of the corresponding acid. After drying, the carboxylation reaction proceeds at high temperature (T > 100 °C) and in solid state. We quantified the effect of temperature and reaction time on the solid-state carboxylation reaction, which allowed us to tune the carboxylation degree and the acidity of the surface. We characterized the modified cotton by performing adsorption isotherms and by determining the kinetics of adsorption of a cationic dye: methylene blue (MB). We found that the MB uptake kinetics varied as a function of the acidic strength of the surface, which is closely related to the strength of the acid used for surface modification. The proposed solid-state cotton carboxylation procedure allows us to achieve sustainable cotton modification, which constitutes a starting point for several applications using cotton as the substrate.

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) can act as an adsorbent because of its high surface area. The adsorptive characteristics of a RGO composite combined with CuS were studied quantitatively. The removal efficiency of Methylene Blue was found to be about 85%, which is higher than that of bare CuS (?73%). Furthermore, the kinetics of adsorption of Methylene Blue was inspected to determine the rate of the process. The removal process was faster with the RGO?CuS system than with bare CuS. Both high and low temperatures were not favorable for this adsorption process. In highly ionic media of high or low pH, the adsorption was greater than in media of neutral pH. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated in this study and they suggest that this is physisorption and exothermic in nature.
