The investigation goes through paper to taking away of lead ions from aqueous medium by waste tire rubber granules(WTRG). The effect of various operational parameters like period of time, original metal concentration, size of adsorbent particles, adsorbent dose, and PH of medium on the adsorption ability of WTRG was evaluated. The kinetic of the adsorption process was relatively fast with approximately one hour of equilibrium time. A tiny adsorbent particle size (0.04 mm), PH medium (5-6) preferential the adsorption process. Data of isotherm studies exposed that adsorption of Pb(II) was well expressed by the Langmuir isotherm formula (R2=0.993). The study demonstrated the ability of WTRG to remove lead from aqueous environment as a cheap and available material. The use of WTRG exhibited the safe disposal of solid waste. Hence its with double benefit for environment.

The impact of sodium hydroxide pretreatment of maize husk on its lead ion removal efficiency was investigated. Pretreatment of maize husk with this alkali increased its surface area and porosity from 528.74 m2/g and 0.477 cm3/g to 721.54 m2/g and 0.642 cm3/g, respectively. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of initial pH, adsorbent dose, initial lead ion concentration, initial solution temperature, and contact time on the adsorption process. The maximum removal efficiency of maize husk at pH 5 and adsorbent dose 2 g/L was 62.85 %, which increased to 82.84 % after pretreatment and was attained in 15 min. The adsorption data for the natural and pretreated maize husk were best fitted in the Freundlich isotherm model, with their adsorption intensity (n) having values >1, which indicated that lead ion adsorption onto the adsorbent types was a favorable physical process. The adsorption of lead ions onto the adsorbents followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The experimental adsorption capacities of maize husk (31.43 mg/g) and its modified form (41.22 mg/g) were very close to those obtained from this model (31.03 mg/g and 40.65 mg/g respectively). The ΔH and ΔG values of the adsorption process showed that the adsorption of lead ions by both adsorbents was an endothermic process and occurred spontaneously. Alkali pretreated maize husk can therefore be used as a cheap adsorbent to remove lead ions from aqueous solution.

Lead remediation was achieved using simple cost, effective and eco-friendly way from industrial wastewater. Phragmitesaustralis (P.a) (Iraqi plant), was used as anovel biomaterial to remove lead ions from synthesized waste water. Different parameters which affected on adsorption processes were investigated like adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, and adsorbent particle size, to reach the optimized conditions (maximum adsorption). The adsorption of Pb (?) on (P.a) involved fast and slow process as a mechanism steps according to obey two theoretical adsorption isotherms; Langmuir and Freundlich. The thermos dynamic adsorption parameters were evaluated also. The (?H) obtained positive value that meanes adsorption of lead ions was an endothermic processwhile (?G)values were negative which means that adsorption of lead ions was a spontaneous process and the decrease in (?G) with temperature increasing revealed that lead ions adsorption on (P.a) became favorable with temperature increasing

This study applied ultrasonic irradiation technique to remove acid orange 52 (AO52) and in the meantime utilizing the potential adsorbent, Lapindo volcanic mud (LVM). LVM was collected from the erupted mud in Sidoarjo, Indonesia and calcined prior the adsorption process. Previously in another study, Lapindo was proven to be efficient for adsorption of dyes in single adsorption method. In this study, the combination of adsorption with ultrasound, or as known as sono-sorption shows that the adsorptivity increased from 95.54 mg/g to 129.5 mg/g. The isotherm study shows that this process obeyed Langmuir isotherm model with adsorption capacity of 833.33 mg/g. The enhancement of sono-sorption method as compared to conventional method is believed to be resulted from the facilitated mass transfer driven by the ultrasound, along with the adsorption ability of LVM. The kinetic study fit to the pseudo second order equation. Copyright © 2019 BCREC Group.

The materials and substances required for sustainable water treatment by adsorption technique, are still being researched widely by distinguished classes of researchers. Thus, the need to synthesize substances that can effectively clean up pollutants from the environment cannot be overemphasized. So far, materials in bulk forms that are rich in carbon, such as biochar and varieties of activated carbon have been used for various adsorptive purposes. The use of bulk materials for such purposes are not efficient due to minimal surface areas available for adsorption. This study explores the adsorption task at nano dimension using carbon dots (CDs) from tapioca. The properties of carbon structure and its influence on the adsorptive efficacy of carbon nanoparticles were investigated by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HrTEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results implied carbon present in CDs are good adsorbents for effective adsorption of heavy metal ions (lead) with removal efficiency of 80.6% in aqueous environment. The adsorption process as explored by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms have proven favorability of the adsorption process. Langmuir form two and three have correlation coefficients R2 at 0.9922 and 0.9912, respectively. The Freundlich isotherm confirms CDs as having defined surface heterogeneity and the exponential distribution of active sites. The adsorption of lead unto CDs obeyed the second order kinetic model with coefficient of determination, R2 of 0.9668 and 0.9996 at an initial lead concentration of 20 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively. The findings validated the efficiency of CDs derived from tapioca as an excellent material for further utilization in the environmental fields of wastewater pollution detection and clean up, bio-imaging, and chemical sensing applications.

Abstract A novel magnetic bio-adsorbent (MCIA) was developed, characterized and tested for its Cd(II) removal from aqueous solution. MCIA could be easily separated from the solution after equilibrium adsorption due to its super-paramagnetic property. The functional and magnetic bio-material was an attractive adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution owing to the abundant adsorption sites, amino-group and oxygen-containing groups on the surface of Cyclosorus interruptus. The experimental results indicated that the MCIA exhibited excellent adsorption ability and the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorption isotherm was consistent with the Langmuir model. The adsorption kinetic fitted the pseudo-second-order model very well. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cd(II) onto MCIA was 40.8, 49.4, 54.6 and 56.6 mg/g at 293, 303, 313 and 323 K, respectively. And the MCIA exhibited an excellent reusability and impressive regeneration. Therefore, MCIA could serve as a sustainable, efficient and low-cost magnetic adsorbent for Cd(II) removal from aqueous solution.

In this study, surface chemistry modification of kenaf adsorbent in adsorptive hydrogen storage system was computationally investigated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and elemental dispersion X-ray (EDX) analysis, in which the suitability of the adsorbent was determined with detailed physicochemical characterisation analysis. The method used for surface modification was metal deposition method using Ni(NO3)2 with various concentrations at different levels of pressure (up to 6 bars). Based on this research, modified kenaf with 0.4 M Ni(NO3)2 and 2.559 m2 g-1 adsorbed up to 1.013 mmol g-1 of hydrogen compared to the raw kenaf with only 0.396 mmol g-1 of hydrogen adsorbed in 5 h. Two consecutive cycles of adsorption were carried out to show the delivery performance of hydrogen adsorptive storage. Thus, different adsorption ability between the modified kenaf and raw kenaf shows that Ni-metal on kenaf surface assists in hydrogen adsorption process.

AbstractNatural laterite can be regarded as a strong adsorbent due to its special structure and composition. In this study, the laterite was modified by manganese oxide (MnO2) to create a new good adsorbent for treating phosphate and fluoride in water environment. Under the optimized conditions of the adsorbent dose (pH 6, temperature 20°C, and the contact time 180 min), laterite, doped manganese, with diameter of grains from 0.1 to 0.5 mm has maximum adsorption capacity of 31.25 mg/g and 10.99 mg/g for phosphate and fluoride, respectively. The characteristics of the manganese doping laterite were confirmed using various techniques like SEM, BET, XRD, EDX. The adsorption process of the material was investigated by both kinetic models (pseudo-first and second orders) and isotherm models (Freundlich and Langmuir). This new material was tested for treatment of wastewater taken from the superphosphate fertilizer factory, with the results obtained showing high potential for application in reality.

Carbonized Micron Wood Fiber (CMWF) has many merits of high filtration efficiency, low cost, green environmental protection and so on. Besides, it also has the properties of activated carbon, which makes its adsorption ability for nanoparticles emitted by a diesel engine much stronger. In this paper, the adsorption number density of the nonoparticles in the CMWF filter under the different conditions is simulated based on Grand Canonical Ensemble Monte Carlo Method (GCEMC). Moreover, the result of simulation is validated by a engine bench experiment. Theoretical deduction and experiment results both prove the simulation method can be applied to simulate the adsorption process of the nanopaticles.
