In this work, ginger straw waste-derived porous carbons, with high adsorption capacity, high adsorption rate, and good reusability for removing the toxic dye of methylene blue from wastewater, were prepared by a facile method under oxygen-limiting conditions. This study opens a new approach for the utilization of ginger straw waste, and the porous materials can be employed as great potential adsorbents for treating dye wastewater.

The waste ion-exchange resin–based activated carbon (WIRAC) was utilized for CO2 adsorption. The effect of adsorption temperature, gas flow, CO2 concentration, and adsorbent filling content on CO2 adsorption properties of WIRAC and the effect of desorption temperature and sweep gas flow on CO2 desorption performances of WIRAC were researched. In the adsorption process, with the increase of adsorption temperature, the CO2 adsorption capacity and adsorption rate decrease; as the gas flow increases, the CO2 adsorption capacity decreases, but the adsorption rate increases; with the increase of CO2 concentration and adsorbent filling content, the CO2 adsorption capacity and adsorption rate both increase. In the desorption process, the higher the desorption temperature and the smaller the sweep gas flow, the higher the CO2 purity of product gas and the longer the desorption time. In order to make sure the adsorbent be used efficiently and the higher CO2 concentration of product gas, the adsorption and desorption conditions selected should be a suitable choice.

AbstractThe submicron ion-exchange fibers (IEF) of polystyrene (PS) and styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (SIS) blends (80/20, w/w) obtained by electrospinning technology were further sulfonated with sulfuric acid to produce strong acidic cation ion exchange fibers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that there were obvious increase in the diameters, scratches, cracks, and micro-pores on the rough IEF surface. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis showed there were many sulfonated acid groups introduced onto the benzene wreath of styrene. The maximum adsorption capacity and the adsorption rate of copper ions were carried out and their removal rate determined by spectrophotometry. The results of the adsorption for copper ions showed that submicron IEF from PS/SIS blends with a high porosity (85%) and a high specific surface (760 m2/g) possess a rapid adsorption rate and a high ion adsorption amount (305.9 mmg/g). This high adsorption capacity suggests that the IEF can be efficiently applied to filter out toxic metal ions, and has excellent efficiency to remove copper ions from aqueous solution.

Heavy metals concentrations exceeding the recommended threshold are hazardous for the environment, so there is a need for handling it safely. The purpose of this research was to determine the adsorption capacity and kinetics of adsorption. This research uses an adsorption method in the process of removing Pb(II) heavy metal ions using persimmon tannin gel. Besides the influence of contact time, pH, and the concentration of Pb(II) metal ions on adsorption, a kinetics study was also carried out. The adsorption rate is obtained through the adsorption rate constant (K) and the reaction order generated from the kinetics model. Based on the results of the research, showed the optimum adsorption process, which is 20 minutes and at a pH of 5. The maximum adsorption capacity of 17.62 mg/g with the value of the standard energy changes of Gibbs adsorption (-ΔG° = -14.274 kJ/moll) indicates that the adsorption takes place through physical interaction. The kinetic adsorption gives the adsorption rates a constant of, k = 0.008231 g/mg.min.

CAL beads were made by dropping wise mixture of chitosan and alumina into NaOH solution. Effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration and pH on fluoride removal were carried out by batch experiments. Results show that adsorption rate was relatively rapid in the first 6 h, thereafter distinctly decreased until adsorption reached the equilibrium within 48 h, at this time, adsorption capacity was up to 0.67 mg/g, which was much higher than raw chitosan (0.052 mg/g). Fluoride removal increased significantly with an increase of adsorbent dosage, however, it rose slowly when the adsorbent dosage was above 16 g/L. Adsorption capacity reduced from 0.75 mg/g to 0.64mg/g when solution pH rose from 4 to 7, nevertheless, adsorption was relatively independent on solution pH between 7 and 10.

Under laboratory simulation experimental model, through adding exogenous chromium and CaCl2 solution, we research adsorption, desorption characteristics of Cr in soils with or without fixative (zeolite). Research shows that: The soil with zeolite can increase adsorption capacity of soil for Cr, it can also reduce the desorption quantity of Cr. In thermodynamics experiment, Freundlich equation is one of the best model to describe adsorption、desorption characteristics for Cr in soil with or without zeolite.; In kinetics experiment, adding zeolite to soil could increase adsorption rate for Cr and decrease the desorption rate for Cr ,we could use Elovich equation to describe adsorption、desorption characteristics of soils with or without zeolite for Cr.
