Functionalizing nanosilica (n-SiO2) particles with suitable active organic moiety leads to the formation of surfaces with precisely controlled physical and chemical characteristics. In this work, a novel nanosorbent (31 ± 2.4 nm), namely succinic acid functionalized nanosilica (n-SiO2@SA), was synthesized via a simple protocol using microwave irradiation to remove Cu(II) ions from aqueous media. The successful functionalization of n-SiO2 was confirmed by FTIR, and the thermal stability of n-SiO2@SA was investigated by TGA study. Other techniques, including HRTEM, DLS and zeta-potential, were utilized to investigate the chemical, surface, and morphological properties of the fabricated n-SiO2@SA. The response surface methodology (RSM) combined with three-level, three-factorial Box–Behnken design (BBD) was applied to optimize the multivariable sorption system using data obtained from 17 batch runs to reach 98.9% of Cu(II) ion removal. The predicted optimal conditions were as follows: contact time = 30 min, pH = 7.1, initial Cu(II) concentration = 317.5 mg L−1, and sorbent dose = 15 mg at which the maximum sorption capacities for n-SiO2 and n-SiO2@SA were 209.3 and 386.4 mg g−1, respectively, at 25 °C, thus supporting the validity of functionalization process. Non-linear regression and linear least-squares methods confirm the suitability of Langmuir model to describe the experimental endothermic, feasible, and chemisorption data, whereas the normalized standard deviation Δq% recommends the pseudo second-order kinetic model to represent the kinetic data. Real Cu-contaminated wastewaters were used to examine n-SiO2@SA nanosorbent for removing Cu(II) ions.

Forward osmosis (FO) is considered as one of the emerging techniques in membrane technology. The enhancement of FO performance is governed by two major factors: the first one is development of high-performance draw solutions and the second is utilizing of high efficient FO membranes. The aim of this work is to investigate chemical surface coating modification of commercial nonwoven forward osmosis membrane with new hydrophilic coating materials namely, o-phenylene di-amine and benzoyl chloride. The effect of coating addition at different concentrations was studied. The membrane morphology and chemical structure characterization of modified membranes proved the formation of dense layer and higher membrane porosity. Finally, it was demonstrated that increasing of coating material concentration gradually increases porosity and membrane performance till 0.75 g/l. By further increasing of coating materials, the porosity and membrane performance tend to decrease.
