The release of dyes from dying industries such as leather, paper, and textiles is an important cause of environmental pollution. In the present study, the batch adsorption measurements were carried out using stimulated aqueous solutions and the effect of operating variables such as initial malachite green concentration, amount of adsorbent, solution pH, contact time, and solution temperature, were investigated. The experimental result showed that the percentage removal decreased with an increase in initial dye concentration but increased as pH of the solution, contact time, and adsorbent dose increased. The equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir adsorption isotherm, Freundlich adsorption isotherm, and Tempkin isotherm models, and it was observed that the Langmuir adsorption isotherm better described the adsorption process. The monolayer adsorption capacity of activated carbon prepared from fig leaves for malachite green adsorption was found to be 51.79 mg/g at 298 K. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics of the dye was investigated, and the rate of adsorption was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with intraparticle diffusion as one of the rate-determining steps. The negative value of ΔG0 and the positive values of ΔH0 indicate the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process, respectively. The experimental result obtained in the present study and comparison with other reported adsorbents indicate that activated carbon prepared from fig leaves could be used as a low-cost alternative adsorbent for the removal of malachite green from aqueous solution.

Carbonized Bambara GroundNut Shell (CBGNS) was used as adsorbent for the adsorption of paraquat dichloride (PQ) from aqueous solution. The prepared adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy methods. Several parameters that might affect the adsorption process including pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, temperature and initial concentration were investigated and optimized using batch adsorption technique. Results of the study revealed that maximum removal efficiency (98%) was achieved using 0.05g adsorbent dosage, solution pH of 5 and 60 min of contact time. The equilibrium experimental result revealed that Langmuir model best described the adsorption process with R2 value of 0.956.The heat of adsorption process was estimated from Temkin Isotherm model to be 19.99J/mol and the mean free energy was estimated from Duninin-Radushkevich (DRK) isotherm model to be 0.289KJ/mol indicating chemisorptions process. The kinetic and thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption processes followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with R2 value of 0.999 and the value of ∆G (- 27.74 kJ mol-1), ∆H (13.145 kJ mol-1) indicate the spontaneous and endothermic nature of PQ adsorption on CBGNS. The results suggested that CBGNS had the potential to become a promising material for PQ contaminated water treatment.

Adsorption of heavy metal cationic ions (Cr, Pb, and Cu) onto coconut husk carbon (CHC) adsorbent has been studied using batch-adsorption method. The study was carried out to investigate the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm of the coconut husk adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals in waste liquid effluent. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and adsorbent concentration, and temperature on the adsorption process was also studied. Results indicated an initial increase in adsorption rate, and optimal removal of heavy metal was reached within 70 minutes, further increase in contact time and temperature show significant change in equilibrium concentration. Also, further increase in adsorbent dosage revealed significant change in the sorption capacity of the CHC. The adsorption isotherms could be fitted well by both Langmuir and Freundlich models. The RI (equilibrium parameter) value in the present investigation was less than 1 (one) which indicates that the adsorption of the heavy metals ions on the CHC is favorable. The value of n for this study which indicates the degree of non-linearity between solution concentration and adsorption were 0.31–0.39, this result indicated that the adsorption of heavy metals onto the CHC is a chemical sorption. After treatment of synthetic heavy metal solution with the CHC, the adsorption isotherm model analysis revealed that the adsorption capacity (b) of CHC for the heavy metal were 89 mg/L (Cr), 125.5 mg/L (Pb), and 129.7 mg/L (Cu). Conclusively, the results indicate that the freely abundant agricultural waste-coconut husk can be treated for heavy metal adsorption but it’s not economically viable because it’s not renewable due to the chemisorption nature of the adsorption process.

Zeolite as an adsorbent has been widely used. Zeolite activation was carried out to increase the absorption. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the active zeolite and apply it as an adsorbent. The activation process was carried out by adding acid and calcining at 4500C for 6 hours. Remazol Yellow FG is a dye that is widely used in the textile industry. In this study, the adsorption process was carried out on the Remazol Yellow FG solution, then analyzed the effect of changes in pH (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), contact time (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 minutes) and the concentration of Remazol Yellow FG solution ( 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 ppm) on the adsorption of Remazol Yellow FG dye. From the analysis of the sample solution of Remazol Yellow, the values of Ce and qe can be calculated. These values were then used to calculate KL and KF in the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. From the experimental results, it could be seen that as the contact time increased, the adsorption capacity would be greater. However, when the zeolite was already in the saturated phase, the adsorption capacity would tend to decrease. In the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, the KL value was 0.0274 L/mg and in the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model, the KF value was 29.25 L/mg. Remazol Yellow FG adsorption tended to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with an R2 value of 0.998.

Abstract Background The excessive usage of herbicides to control herbs by farmers has become an issue of interest to the environmentalist due to the threat posed by such act to the ecosystem, and therefore, there is the need to curb such practices. The efficiency of Bambara groundnut shell for the removal of pendimethalin (PE) and paraquat dichloride (PQ) herbicides from aqueous solution was established in this work. The activated carbon was prepared via chemical activation method using trioxonitrate (v) acid by determining its void volume, moisture content, bulk density and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Batch adsorption techniques were set to optimize the adsorption parameters such as solution pH, adsorbate concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature in order to depict the best optimal conditions for the adsorption process. The adsorption process was examined in terms of its equilibrium data, kinetics, thermodynamics involved in the adsorption process as well as computational quantum chemical parameters evaluation. Results The batch adsorption experiments revealed that the amounts of PE and PQ adsorbed were found to vary with the contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH and initial concentration. The adsorption of PE and PQ decreased with increasing adsorbent dose but increases with increasing initial concentration of the PE and PQ solution. Isotherm studies revealed that the equilibrium data fitted to both Langmuir and Freundlich model with R-squared values of 0.976, 0.993 and 0.909, 0.978 for PE and PQ, respectively, which implied that Langmuir isotherm had a better fit. This was also found to be an indication that the uptake of PE and PQ by ACBGNS occurred through monolayer adsorption on identical homogenous sites. Also, kinetic modeling results obtained showed that the pseudo-second-order model explained the adsorption kinetics of PE and PQ by ACBGNS best, which meant that chemisorption was the slowest step and, thus, the rate determining step. The positive value of ΔH and the positive value of ΔG show the endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption of PE and PQ ACBGNS. Conclusion Batch adsorption experiment and characterization of the ACBGNS have indicated that Bambara ground nut shell can be used to produce activated carbon that can be applied effectively for adsorption of PE and PQ from an aqueous solution. Computational studies results obtained from quantum chemical analysis are consistent with the experimental results obtained from this study.

The study investigates the effectiveness and mechanism of the adsorption of malachite green from single and mixed dyes aqueous solutions by an adsorbent prepared from acid-treated Parkia biglobosa sawdust. The adsorbent was characterized using different techniques, and the adsorption was conducted in single, binary, ternary and quaternary dye systems under different experimental conditions. Experimental results were subjected to different isotherm and kinetics models. The adsorption process was endothermic and thermodynamically feasible with the removal efficiency increasing with increase in adsorbent dosage, solution working pH, initial dye concentration and contact time. The rate of sorption of the dye was fast; it attained equilibrium within 180 minutes in both the single and mixed solute systems. Pseudo-second order model gives the best kinetics fit (R2 = 0.998). The adsorption isotherm in all solute systems have best fits for the Temkin model (R2 > 0.96).

Ionic-Imprinted Chitosan/Chlorella biomass sorbent (IICCb) has been synthesized for selective adsorption of Cd(II) adsorption. IICCb was prepared by coating Cd(II)-complexed-chitosan hydrogel on the biomass surface followed by cross-linking procedure. Cd(II)-imprinting ions were then eluted using Na2EDTA solution to provide a specific template for binding sites of Cd(II). Batch adsorption was carried out as function of initial pH, contact time, and initial concentration of the Cd(II) solution. Result showed that the optimum adsorption of Cd(II) was found at pH 4-6. Study of pseudo-second order kinetic showed that the adsorption of Cd(II) on IICCb went faster than that on Ionic-Imprinted Chitosan (IIC) or Non-Imprinted Ionic Chitosan/Chlorella sorbent (NIICCb). The maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity as obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to be 53.76 mg/g on IICCb, that was comparatively higher than that on IIC (44.44 mg/g) or on NIICCb (51.02 mg/g) adsorbent.
