Abstract The present study compared the adsorption capacity of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution onto biopolymer materials (BPMs): (bean husk (BH) and fish scale (FS)). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the BPMs. The optimal conditions of the variables: pH, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration, contact time and temperature were ascertained. Experimental data were applied to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin sorption isotherms using the linear equations form. The optimal removal of Pb (II) ions with BH and FS was obtained at pH 7.0 and 6.0, and 0.2 g adsorbent dosage each, respectively. The removal of Pb (II) ions fitted the pseudo-second order kinetic model well for the materials. Equilibrium Langmuir isotherm, which indicated a heterogeneous process, gave a better conformity than the other models used for BH while the Temkin isotherm gave better conformity for FS. The FS reached equilibrium faster (at about 30 min) compared to BH (at about 60 min); however, the processes are both spontaneous and endothermic. The BPMs gave about 90% removal of Pb (II) ions at the optimum dosage when used for textile wastewater. The BPMs, therefore, can be used as effective, low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbents.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to the synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites and using it as an adsorbent for removal of diazinon from aqueous solutions. Structural characteristics of the synthesized magnetic nanocomposite were described by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Design/methodology/approach The effects of different parameters including pH (2-10), contact time (1-180 min), adsorbent dosage (100-2000 mg L−1) and initial diazinon concentration (0.5–20 mg L−1) on the removal processes were studied. Finally, isotherm and kinetic and of adsorption process of diazinon onto Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites were investigated. Findings The maximum removal efficiency of diazinon (96%) was found at 180 min with 1000 mg L−1 adsorbent dosage using 0.5 mg L−1 diazinon concentration at pH = 7. The experimental results revealed that data were best fit with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.971) and the adsorption capacity was 10.90 mg g−1. The adsorption isotherm was accordant to Langmuir isotherm. Originality/value In the present study, the magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized and used as an absorbent for the removal of diazinon. The developed method had advantages such as the good ability of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites to remove diazinon from aqueous solution and the magnetic separation of this absorbent that make it recoverable nanocomposite. The other advantages of these nanocomposites are rapidity, simplicity and relatively low cost.

AbstractIn this work, we reported for the first time a novel magnetic composite graphene oxide/Fe3O4/glucose-COOH (GO/Fe3O4/GC) that was facilely prepared from glucose through the hydrothermal carbonization and further combination with graphene oxide (GO). The chemical and structural properties of the samples were investigated. By the batch uranium adsorption experiments, the magnetic composite GO/Fe3O4/GC exhibits an excellent adsorption performance and fast solid–liquid separation for uranium from aqueous solution. GO/Fe3O4/GC (the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) was 390.70 mg g−1) exhibited excellent adsorption capacity and higher removal rate (> 99%) for U(VI) than those of glucose-COOH (GC) and magnetic GC (MGC). The effect of the coexisting ions, such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+, on the U(VI) removal efficiency of GO/Fe3O4/GC was examined. The equilibrium sorption and sorption rate for the as-prepared adsorbents well fit the Langmuir model and pseudo second-order kinetic model, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0 = 11.57 kJ mol−1 and ΔG0 < 0) for GO/Fe3O4/GC indicate that the sorption process of U(VI) was exothermic and spontaneous. Thus, this research provides a facile strategy for the preparation of the magnetic composite with low cost, high efficiency and fast separation for the U(VI) removal from aqueous solution.

Arsenate Adsorption

Broken mesoporous ceramic filter was reutilized by coating with ferric solution through a simple loading method enhanced with heating at a moderate temperature for arsenate uptake from aqueous solution. BET, XRF, XRD, and SEM methods were applied for the adsorbent characterization. The adsorption study was conducted in a batch mode to investigate kinetics, isotherms, and the effect of solution pH and co-existing anions. The pseudo-second order kinetic model well fitted the experimental data (R2 = 0.9997). The maximum arsenate adsorption capacity (2.27 mg/g) was derived from the better described Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9992). The adsorbent expressed high arsenate adsorption capacity over a pH range of 4-10. The uptake behavior is a favorable and physical adsorption process based on the value of separation factor and mean sorption energy.  The presence of co-existing anions decreased the arsenate adsorption capacity in the following order: NO3-< SO42- < PO43-. The new ferric-coated mesoporous ceramic adsorbent could be an effective and low-cost adsorbent for arsenate removal from water.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of phenol adsorption from aqueous solution by Pinus massoniana biochar. Adsorption conditions, including contact time, initial phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage, strength of salt ions and pH, have been investigated by batch experiments. Equilibrium can be reached in 24 h for phenol from 50 to 250 mg• L-1. The optimum pH value for this kind of biochar is 5.0. The amount of phenol adsorbed per unit decreases with the increase in adsorbent dosage. The existence of salt ions makes negligible influence on the equilibrium adsorption capacity. The experimental data is analyzed by the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. Equilibrium data fits well to the Freundlich model. Adsorption kinetics models are deduced and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides a good correlation for the adsorbent process. The results show that the Pinus massoniana biochar can be utilized as an effective adsorption material for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution.

Glucomannan/graphene oxide (GM/GO) hydrogel was synthesized by using calcium hydroxide as the crosslinker. The synthesized material was characterized by using IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and RAMAN technology. The composite hydrogel was used for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. The results showed that the GM/GO hydrogel had a porous structure and a high adsorption capacity toward methylene blue (MB). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could fit the rate equation of MB adsorption onto the GM/GO hydrogel. The adsorption of MB onto GM/GO hydrogel was a spontaneous process. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data indicated that equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum dye adsorption capacity was 198,69 mg.g-1. Moreover, the hydrogel was stable and easily recovered and adsorption capacity was around 97% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after being used five times.

The purpose of this work is to investigate adsorption characteristic of corn stalk (CS) biochar for removal of cadmium ions (Cd2+) from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of pH value of solution, adsorbent particle size, adsorbent dosage, and ionic strength of solution on the adsorption of Cd2+ onto biochar that was pyrolytically produced from CS at 300 °C. The results showed that the initial pH value of solution played an important role in adsorption. The adsorptive amount of Cd2+ onto the biochar decreased with increasing the adsorbent dosage, adsorbent particle size, and ionic strength, while it increased with increasing the initial pH value of solution and temperature. Cd2+ was removed efficiently and quickly from aqueous solutions by the biochar with a maximum capacity of 33.94 mg/g. The adsorption process was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.986. The adsorption isotherm could be well fitted by the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of Cd2+ onto the biochar was a spontaneous and exothermic process. The results indicate that CS biochar can be considered as an efficient adsorbent.

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.
