The synthetic nano iron oxide (SNIO) was synthesized by acid base hydrolysis and characterized by the XRD, SEM and EDAX techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the sorption behaviour of SNIO and commercial activated charcoal (CAC) towards Ni(II) ions as a function of initial concentration of the adsorbate, adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH. The adsorption for Ni(II) is found to be better in acidic pH for both SNIO and CAC. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm data have been tested by applying both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The Separation factor R was found to be between 0 and 1 for both the adsorbent, it clearly indicates the feasibility of adsorption.

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied by using Quetta pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) leaves. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as a function of appropriate equilibrium time, pH, concentration of adsorbate and amount of adsorbent. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 7.0 and the maximum contact time for the equilibrium was 30 minutes at adsorbent dose of 10 g. The maximum adsorption efficiency of cadmium removal was 98.50%. The results were better fitted by Langmuir than Freundlich isotherm. The separation factor of equilibrium 0.12 and 0.67 showed that Quetta pine leaves are good adsorbent of cadmium from aqueous solution DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v43i3.21598 Bangladesh J.

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and iron oxide impregnated carbon nanotubes (CNTs-iron oxide) were investigated for the adsorption of hazardous toluene and paraxylene (p-xylene) from aqueous solution. Pure CNTs were impregnated with iron oxides nanoparticles using wet impregnation technique. Various characterization techniques including thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, elemental dispersion spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption analysis were used to study the thermal degradation, surface morphology, purity, and surface area of the materials. Batch adsorption experiments show that iron oxide impregnated CNTs have higher degree of removal of p-xylene (i.e., 90%) compared with toluene (i.e., 70%), for soaking time 2 h, with pollutant initial concentration 100 ppm, at pH 6 and shaking speed of 200 rpm at 25°C. Pseudo-second-order model provides better fitting for the toluene and p-xylene adsorption. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models demonstrate good fitting for the adsorption data of toluene and p-xylene.

Maize Tassel

Maize tassels (MT), an agro-based biomass waste was carbonised followed by thermo-chemical modification using tartaric acid. The functionalized activated carbon was further modified to yield a magnetic hybrid composite adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The adsorbent was evaluated for its efficiency to remove Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions through batch adsorption studies following a Central Composite Design. Effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and temperature on Cd(II) adsorption were investigated. Optimization of the adsorption process was done using desirability function on the Design Expert V11 software. The desirability function showed that the optimum parameters were pH 5.29, contact time (67.50 min), dosage (0.575 g) and initial concentration (152.50 mg/L). The adsorption process was analysed using kinetic and isotherm models. The kinetics of the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model (lowest sum of square error (SSE) values and correlation coefficients (R2) > 0.999) in addition to the intraparticle diffusion model. The isotherm data were consistent with the Langmuir isotherm as evidenced by the highest correlation coefficient (R2= 0.998). The thermodynamic parameters showed that the process was endothermic and spontaneous in nature. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 188.68 mg/g at 20 ⁰C which is higher than that of the previously reported magnetic maize tassel hybrid (52.05 mg/g). The adsorbent showed good removal efficiency on real effluent samples.

With the use of nanotechnology, clay minerals, specifically montmorillonites, have been reengineered to be used in environmental remediation, especially in the treatment of mining wastewater containing hazardous heavy metal ions. The objective of this study is to assess the practicality of using iron-modified montmorillonite (Fe-MMT) nanomembranes in the removal of mercury using the adsorption process. The nanomembranes, which were synthesized via electrospinning, were subjected to mercury cyanide solutions during the batch adsorption set ups to determine the adsorption efficiency. During the subsequent elution tests, three factors– eluent type (CH3COOH and C6H807), eluent concentration (0.01 M and 0.05 M) and contact time (3 and 5 hours) – were tested. SEM images of the mats were acquired to study the structure of the adsorbent. HD XRF analysis was done to identify the ions present in the membrane, as well as the initial Hg concentrations, amount of remaining Hg in the wastewater after batch adsorption and amount of desorbed metal. Results showed that using the Fe-MMT nanomembrane as adsorbent material resulted to 61.74% removal of Hg in the mercury cyanide solutions with initial concentrations of 13.87 to 38.9 mg L-1. Acetic acid exhibited better desorption results, with the highest efficiency of 31.36% (0.01 M, 5 h) compared to citric acid’s 7.40% (0.05M, 3 h).

The aim of this work was to study the adsorption efficiency of chitosan as an adsorbent for triclosan, commercially known as Irgasan, in aqueous solutions. The effects of contact time, pH and temperature were investigated using a batch adsorption technique. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to analyze the equilibrium data at different absorption conditions. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity for chitosan was found in the acidic pH 3 and at a temperature of 65 oC. These results suggested that chitosan can be used as an adsorbent for removal of triclosan from aqueous solutions.

Digestate, as an urban solid waste, was considered as an innovative adsorbent for colorant polluted wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using digestate as an adsorbent material to remove various dyes belonging to different categories. The removal rate and adsorption capacity of dyes were evaluated and the dose of digestate, contact time, and initial dye concentration were studied. The maximum removal rate was approximately 96% for Methylene Blue. The equilibrium time for the Methylene Blue was 4 h, while for other dyes, a longer contact time was required to reach the equilibrium. The suspicion of colloidal matter release into the solution from solid fraction of the digestate led to the investigation of the consequence of a washing step of the digestate adsorbent upstream the adsorption experiment. Washed and not washed adsorbents were tested and the differences between them in terms of dye removal were compared. Moreover, experimental data were fitted by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intra-partial diffusion kinetic models as well as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips isotherm models. The results from fitted models showed that the adsorption of various dyes onto the digestate was mostly well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Benzene Removal

In this paper, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) impregnated with iron oxide nanoparticles were employed for the removal of benzene from water. The adsorbents were characterized using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, and thermogravimetric analysis. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the adsorptive removal of benzene and the effect of parameters such as pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum removal of benzene was 61% with iron oxide impregnated CNTs at an adsorbent dosage 100 mg, shaking speed 200 rpm, contact time 2 hours, initial concentration 1 ppm, and pH 6. However, raw CNTs showed only 53% removal under same experimental conditions. Pseudo-first-order kinetic model was found well to describe the obtained data on benzene removal from water. Initial concentration was varied from 1 to 200 mg/L for isotherms study. Langmuir isotherm model was observed to best describe the adsorption data. The maximum adsorption capacities were 987.58 mg/g and 517.27 mg/g for iron oxide impregnated CNTs and raw CNTs, respectively. Experimental results revealed that impregnation with iron oxide nanoparticles significantly increased the removal efficiency of CNTs.
