PBST and PBST/CDP nanofibrous membranes were prepared for the first time. PBST/CDP membranes were fabricated by means of in situ polymerization. The morphologies of membranes were dependent on the CDP content. PBST/CDP membranes exhibited excellent adsorption capacity.

In this study, biodegradable poly(butylene succinate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBS/PLA) in-situ submicrofibrillar composites with various PLA content were successfully produced by a triple-screw extruder followed by a hot stretching−cold drawing−compression molding process. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dispersed PLA submicro-fibrils on the thermal, mechanical and rheological properties of PBS/PLA composites. Morphological observations demonstrated that the PLA phases are fibrillated to submicro-fibrils in the PBS/PLA composites, and all the PLA submicro-fibrils produced seem to have a uniform diameter of about 200nm. As rheological measurements revealed, at low frequencies, the storage modulus (G’) of PBS/PLA composites has been increased by more than four orders of magnitude with the inclusion of high concentrations (15 wt % and 20 wt %) of PLA submicro-fibrils, which indicates a significant improvement in the elastic responses of PBS melt. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) results showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PBS phase slightly shifted to the higher temperature after the inclusion of PLA. DSC experiments proved that fiber morphology of PLA has obvious heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of PBS. The tensile properties of the PBS/PLA in-situ submicrofibrillar composites are also improved compared to neat PBS.

In this study, two types of adsorbent including activated carbon and bio-sorbent were produced from Palm fiber wastes (PFW), which were activated by phosphoric acid. The influence of adsorbent type and phosphoric acid concentration on methylene blue adsorption was investigated. The most optimum adsorbent was determined based on adsorption capacity and removal percentage of each adsorbent. The result shows that 9.984 mg/g of adsorption capacity and 99.84% of removal percentage were achieved in 90 minutes’ adsorption, which demonstrates the huge potential of bio-sorbent and was chosen to be the most optimum adsorbent based on methylene blue removal. The characterization of bio-sorbent was then investigated using FTIR and SEM. FTIR result shows that bio-sorbent contains cellulose which affected the adsorption process while SEM result shows the cleaner pores and surface compared to bio-sorbent before activation.

Chitosan obtained from shrimp shells and SiO2 nanoparticles obtained from rice husk ash were used to synthesize chitosan - SiO2 composite materials. In order to obtain a porous chitosan adsorbent, the SiO2 particles in the chitosan - SiO2 composite material were removed with NaOH solution. With the orientation of applying adsorbent in wastewater treatment of textile industry, the ability of methylene blue adsorption of chitosan with porous structure has been investigated. Survey results show that chitosan has porous structure with good adsorption capacity of methylene blue. The adsorption capacity of materials depends on many factors such as: structure of particles; pH of adsorption medium and temperature. Adsorbent material is made of composite chitosan - SiO2 with the ratio of chitosan/SiO2 equal to 1/1 (w/w) with the best adsorption capacity. Materials with good adsorption capacity at pH = 6, at low pH, the adsorption capacity of the material is significantly reduced. Temperature has a great influence on the adsorption capacity of the material. The suitable temperature for adsorption of materials is 40 oC. With a higher temperature, the desorption process will be accelerated. This makes the adsorption capacity of the material decrease. The maximum methylene blue adsorption capacity of the material is determined about 7.25 mg/g after 40 minutes of adsorption time.

This paper focused on the studying of adsorption properties of Fe3O4-waste paper activated carbon composites for the removal of methylene blue dyes from water. The various parameters were carried out for the adsorption test of the composites, namely; contact time, adsorbent dose, initial MB concentration, pH solution, and temperature. The adsorption of isotherm, thermodynamics and kinetic was used to determine the characteristics of methylene blue adsorption onto the prepared adsorbent. The result indicates that the optimum adsorption capacity has occurred at pH = 6 in water solution. The adsorption capacity increase as the temperature increase until at 315K (45oC). The Langmuir isotherm is more appropriate to be applied as the adsorption model with the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) value of 101 and 93 mg/g for KA HCl-Fe3O4 and KA-Fe3O4 composites, respectively. The value of adsorption thermodynamic parameters was positive for ΔH, negative for ΔGo and positive for ΔSo, meaning the process adsorptions were endothermic, feasibility and spontaneity and randomness, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model was appropriate to predict the kinetic models for methylene blue adsorption onto the composites. The obtained adsorbent composites possess high adsorption efficiency and rapid magnetic separation. They were a promising for practical wastewater treatment for dyes removal from water.
