A carbonaceous adsorbent prepared from an indigenous waste by acid treatment was tested for its efficiency in removing chromium ion. The parameters studied include agitation time, initial chromium ion concentration, carbon dose, pH and temperature. The adsorption followed first order reaction equation and the rate is mainly controlled by intra-particle diffusion. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied to the equilibrium data. The adsorption capacity (Qm) obtained from the Langmuir isotherm plots were 27.40, 26.06, 26.06 and 26.17 mg/g respectively at an initial pH of 7.0 at 30, 40, 50 and 60°C. The temperature variation study showed that the chromium ion adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous with increased randomness at the solid solution interface. Significant effect on adsorption was observed on varying the pH of the chromium ion solutions. Almost 70% removal of chromium ion was observed at 60°C. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms obtained, positive ∆H0value, pH dependent results and desorption of dye in mineral acid suggest that the adsorption of chromium ion on PDC involves physisorption mechanism.

The feasibility of using powdered cow hooves (CH) for removing Ni2+ from aqueous solution was investigated through batch studies. The study was conducted to determine the effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, adsorbent particle size, and temperature on the adsorption capacity of CH. Equilibrium studies were conducted using initial concentration of Ni2+ ranging from 15 to 100 mgL−1 at 208, 308, and 318 K, respectively. The results of our investigation at room temperature indicated that maximum adsorption of Ni2+ occurred at pH 7 and contact time of 20 minutes. The thermodynamics of the adsorption of Ni2+ onto CH showed that the process was spontaneous and endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models were used to quantitatively analysed the equilibrium data. The equilibrium data were best fitted by Freundlich isotherm model, while the adsorption kinetics was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The mean adsorption energy obtained from the D-R isotherm revealed that the adsorption process was dominated by physical adsorption. Powdered cow hooves could be utilized as a low-cost adsorbent at room temperature under the conditions of pH 7 and a contact time of 20 minutes for the removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solution.

Applying of low cost adsorbent for herbicide capturing is an important area of research in environmental field. The present work reports the adsorption potential of fly ash, a waste from power stations, for removal of herbicides namely paraquat and alachlor from aqueous solution. Batch experiment was employed to investigate the adsorption of herbicide in aqueous solution. The maximum capacity of the fly ash to adsorb paraquat and alachlor was found to be 2.02 and 1.70 mmole.g-1, respectively. The coefficient of adsorption on the basis of 3 models: Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips isotherm models were found. The results shown that the equilibrium data are better fitted by three-parameter models than two-parameter models. The experimental data agree to adsorption isotherms in the order of Sips > Langmuir > Freundlich isotherms.

In this study, a low-cost, sustainable biosorbent parthenium (P. hysterophorus L.) weed powder was investigated for the treatment of Pb contaminated wastewater. Physicochemical characteristics of the biosorbent were measured, namely, bulk density as 0.42 g cm−3, porosity as 45%, BET surface area as 20.79 m2 g−1, particle size as <125 μm, moisture content as 68% and point of zero charge as 5.6. The various parameters of biosorption process were examined. The maximum percentage removal of Pb ion achieved was 98.3% with 1.0 g L−1 of biosorbent dose for 50 mg L−1 initial Pb ion concentration at process condition of pH 4, temperature 30 °C (303 K), agitation speed 200 rpm and 150 min of equilibrium contact time. The equilibrium data were examined by various rate kinetics models and adsorption isotherm models. Sorption of Pb ion onto biosorbent was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) transmittance spectra and field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (FESEM-EDX) analysis of native as well as Pb ion adsorbed biosorbent. The change in thermodynamic parameters, such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) was calculated. The results suggest that biosorption process using parthenium (P. hysterophorus L.) weed powder as biosorbent was a spontaneous, feasible and efficient method for treatment of Pb-bearing wastewater.
