Lanthanum has been doped onto the surface of the natural Pyrolusite for simultaneous removal of phosphate and fluoride in aqueous solution. The adsorbent characterization of the materials was observed by the SEM, BET, and XRD techniques. The dynamics and isotherms models of fluoride and phosphate adsorption, with respect to pH, pHPZC, adsorbent dose, and effect of coexisting ions, were studied. The results showed that lanthanum doped Pyrolusite ore (LDPO) relatively highly adsorbed amount of phosphate and fluoride from aqueous solution. Phosphate and fluoride removal efficiencies of LDPO are approximately 97% and 95%, respectively. Pseudo-first order for kinetic studies of phosphate and fluoride removal of the LDPO was observed with high correlations for fluoride but weak correlations for phosphate. However, pseudo-second order for kinetic studies was high correlation for both phosphate and fluoride. The phosphate and fluoride adsorption capacities of the LDPO significantly decreased with the existence of coions (sulfate, chloride, and nitrate) in the aqueous solution.

A new medium, eggshell powder has been developed for fluoride removal from aqueous solution. Fluoride adsorption was studied in a batch system where adsorption was found to be pH dependent with maximum removal efficiency at 6.0. The experimental data was more satisfactorily fitted with Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetics and the factor controlling adsorption process fully accepted by pseudo-second-order model were also discussed. Eawas found to be 45.98 kJmol-1by using Arrhenius equation, indicating chemisorption nature of fluoride onto eggshell powder. Thermodynamic study showed spontaneous nature and feasibility of the adsorption process with negative enthalpy (∆H0) value also supported the exothermic nature. Batch experiments were performed to study the applicability of the adsorbent by using fluoride contaminated water collected from affected areas. These results indicate that eggshell powder can be used as an effective, low-cost adsorbent to remove fluoride from aqueous solution as well as groundwater.

Water is regarded as an important natural resource to sustain life, and its purification is an important criterion that determines its quality and usefulness. In this study, the incorporation of Fe3+ oxide onto a phenylenediamine (pPD) polymer matrix through chemical co-polymerization was prepared, and its arsenite and fluoride removal potentials at optimal conditions from aqueous solution were evaluated. The morphology and structural analysis of the synthesized Fe-doped pPD (Fe-pPD) were comparatively evaluated using the FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and XRD techniques. Fe was successfully incorporated onto pPD matrix as confirmed by different morphological characterizations. The rate of adsorption of F− and As3+ onto the Fe-pPD composite best followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental data for both As3+ and F− onto the Fe-pPD composite better fit the Freundlich isotherm model at different operating temperatures. Overall, the synthesized composite exhibited a strong affinity towards fluoride uptake (96.6%) than arsenite uptake (71.14%) with a maximum capacity of 6.79 (F−) and 1.86 (As3+) mg/g. Additionally, the synthesized adsorbent showed some level of antimicrobial activity against common water-borne bacterial. Therefore, the Fe-doped pPD composite has the potential ability for inorganic metal species pollutants remediation and bacterial disinfection in community-level water purification processes.

Abstract In the current work, alumina modified natural zeolite (Z-Al) was used for fluoride adsorption in aqueous solution. Effects of process parameters such as pH, temperature, initial concentration and contact time were investigated. Box–Behnken design was found effective in defining the operating conditions for fluoride sorption onto Z-Al. Confirmatory experiments were conducted to examine the reliability of the regression equation. The predicted (2.261 mg g−1) and experimental (2.289 mg g−1) capacities were found to be similar, demonstrating the accuracy of the model. The fluoride adsorption onto Z-Al was well described by the Freundlich model. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order reaction. Thermodynamic parameters depicted that the fluoride adsorption on the alumina modified zeolite was a spontaneous and exothermic process. The co-existing ions affected the defluoridation performance significantly. Regeneration of exhausted Z-Al was achieved with H2SO4.

Five blast-furnace slags were used as adsorbents to remove Pb (II) from aqueous solution. Kinetic studies showed that the sorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order model. Among Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms, the Freundlich isotherm had a better fit with the simulation of the adsorption of Pb (II).

N,N-Methylene bis-acrylamide crosslinked poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone hydrogels were synthesized and binding of the hydrogel with the dye solution was followed spectrophotometrically. The chemical structure and morphology of the hydrogel before and after adsorption of acid black 194 was confirmed by FT-IR and SEM. Effect of various physico-chemical parameters such as concentration, temperature, pH, time and the amount of hydrogel used were investigated by batch adsorption studies. Hydrogel used as adsorbent in this study was characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer before and after adsorption of acid black 194. Kinetic studies suggested pseudo second order reaction. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied on equilibrium adsorption data and found that Freundlich isotherm fit better for the present investigation. N,N-methylene bisacrylamide crosslinked poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone hydrogel displayed excellent properties for the removal of the azo dye, acid black 194 from aqueous solution.

Abstract In this study, novel chitosan/Fe2O3nano composite Ch/Fe-Onc was synthesized and evaluated as an adsorbent for removing thorium (IV) (Th4+) ion from aqueous solution. The Ch/Fe-Onc was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used in the optimization of Th4+ adsorption for parameters such as pH, the initial metal ion concentration (Th4+ concentration) and contact time. The statistical measures (i.e. analysis of variance, R2, the lack of fit test and the P value) specify that the developed model is proper. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics was well defined by the pseudo-second-order equation, while the adsorption isotherms were better fitted by the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacity of Ch/Fe-Onc was 430 mg Th4+g−1 composite which leads to 99% removal at 25 °C. Moreover, thermodynamic parameters which state the natural and endothermic nature of the reactions were determined. The loaded Th4+ can be easily regenerated with HNO3 and the Ch/Fe-Onc can be used repeatedly without any significant reduction in its adsorption capacity. The desorption level of Th4+ from the Ch/Fe-Onc by using 0.1 M HNO3, was more than 95%.

Fluoride has become a notable toxicological environmental hazard worldwide because it is often found in groundwater. In the present study, hydroxyapatite adsorbent was synthesized from eggshell waste to remove fluoride from aqueous solution. XRD, FT-IR, and TGA techniques were used to characterize the prepared adsorbent. Batch adsorption studies were performed to examine the adsorption capacity of hydroxyapatite such as the effect of the initial pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dose, and initial fluoride concentration. The fluoride ion-selective electrode was used to determine the fluoride removal efficiency. 98.8% of fluoride was removed at pH 3.0, but at pH ~7.0, 85% of fluoride was removed; it shows that the fluoride adsorption is pH dependent. The adsorption isotherm studies (Langmuir and Freundlich models) and the experimental results for the removal of fluoride showed that the Langmuir model was more favorable and the reaction followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. In real water samples, the prepared hydroxyapatite derived from eggshell exhibited 81% removal efficiency. Our results indicate that eggshell waste-derived hydroxyapatite may be an alternative source for defluoridation in developing countries.

Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by microwave irradiation and evaluated as adsorbent for the removal of disperse blue 2BLN (DB) from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption technique under different conditions of initial pH value, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and contact time. The experimental data were analyzed considering pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion approaches. The adsorption kinetics at room temperature could be expressed by the pseudo second order model very well. The results indicate that the adsorption rate is fast enough and more than eighty percent of the adsorbed DB can be removed in the first 15 min at room temperature, which makes the process practical for industrial application.
