Florisil was employed for the sorption of antimony ions from aqueous solutions. A detailed study of the process was performed by varying the sorption time, pH, and temperature. The sorption was found to be fast, equilibrium was reached within 15 min. Moreover, a maximum sorption has been achieved from solution when the pH ranges between 1–10. From kinetic experiments it follows that the process correlate with the second-order kinetic model. The overall rate process appears to be influenced by both boundary layer diffusion and intra-particle diffusion. The Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) type sorption isotherms can be applied to fit and interpret the sorption data. The mean energy of adsorption (9.73 kJ mol−1) was calculated from the Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) adsorption isotherm at room temperature. Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters for the sorption were also determined, and the ΔH0 and ΔG0 values indicate a spontaneous endothermic behavior.

With the aim to investigate sorption properties of natural sorbent prepared from moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus we elucidated biosorption of cationic dyes Malachite green (BG4), Auramine O (BY2) and Thioflavine T (BY1) from aqueous solutions. The removal of dyes by moss biosorbent was found to be rapid at an initial stage and the equilibrium was reached within 1-2 hours. The pseudo-n-order kinetic model was successfully applied to the kinetic data and the order of adsorption reaction was calculated in the range from 1.7 to 2.6. The value of rate constant kn' ranged from 0.001 to 0.039 [min-1]/[μmol/g]1-n. The equilibrium data were fitted to the adsorption isotherms. The Freundlich isotherm was found to represent the measured sorption data of BG4, BY1 and BY2 well. The maximum sorption capacities of moss biomass from single dye solutions calculated by Langmuir equation were 354 μmol/g for BG4, 310 μmol/g for BY1 and 382 μmol/g for BY2. These results showed that the prepared biomass presents low-cost, natural and easy available sorbent which may be potentially used for removal of dyes from environment and also may be an alternative to more costly materials such as activated carbon.

The potential application of granules of Granular brick waste as a low-cost sorbent for removal of Pb+2 ions from aqueous solutions has been studied. The properties of Granular brick waste were determined through several tests such as X-Ray diffraction , Energy dispersive X-ray, Scanning electron microscopy , and surface area. In batch tests, the influence of several operating parameters including contact time, initial concentration, agitation speed, and the dose of GBW was investigated. The best values of these parameters that provided maximum removal efficiency of lead (89.5 %) were 2.5 hr, 50 mg/L, 250 rpm, and 1.8 g/100mL, respectively. The sorption data obtained by batch experiments subjected to the three isotherm models called Langmuir, Freundlich and   Elovich. The results showed that the Langmuir isotherm model described well the sorption data (R2= 0.9866) in comparison with other models. The kinetic data were analyzed using two kinetic models called pseudo_first_order and pseudo_second_order. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to agree well with the experimental data.

The adsorption and desorption properties of 12 resins containing flavonoid compounds found in Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. leaves (EUOL) extracts were investigated. The static adsorption and desorption, kinetic, adsorption, and thermodynamic properties of the adsorption of the flavonoids onto macroporous resins were determined. The HPD-300, NKA-9, and AB-8 resins exhibited a greater adsorption capacity and desorption characteristics. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was suitable to characterize the kinetics of the adsorption of flavonoids onto the resins selected, and the diffusion of flavonoids was divided into three stages, with the boundary layer diffusion and intra-particle diffusion being the rate-controlling factors. The Langmuir model was found to be the best description of the adsorption behavior of flavonoids. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of flavonoids was a physical, exothermic, and spontaneous process. The 60% ethanol eluted fraction from the NKA-9 resin column not only had the highest flavonoid content, but also possessed the strongest inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase. In addition, the degree of binding of the main flavonoid compounds found in the EUOL to acetylcholinesterase compounds was investigated via molecular docking technology. The results showed that the docking total score of isoquercetin and enzyme proteins were the highest, followed by kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside.

Coffea canephora,Cyperus papyrus,andMusaspp. were studied for competitive and noncompetitive removal of aqueous Cd2+and Pb2+. The optimal conditions were pH 4.5 and agitation time 3.0 hours. Biomass constituent ions showed no interference effects whereas cation exchange capacity values corresponded to the sorption efficiencies. XRD spectroscopy revealed surface oxygen and nitrogen groups that provide binding sites for metal ions. The maximum sorption efficiency ranges for metal ions in noncompetitive media were 95.2–98.7% forC. canephora, 42.0–91.3% forC. papyrus,and 79.9–92.2% forMusaspp. and in competitive sorption 90.8–98.0% forC. canephora, 19.5–90.4% forC. papyrus,and 56.4–89.3% forMusaspp. The Pb2+ions uptake was superior to that of Cd2+ions in competitive and noncompetitive media. In competitive sorption synergistic effects were higher for Cd2+than Pb2+ions. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted experimental data with0.917≤R2≥1.000for Pb2+ions and0.711≤R2≥0.999for Cd2+ions. The Langmuir model fitted noncompetitive sorption data with0.769≤R2≥0.999; moreover the Freundlich model fitted competitive sorption data with0.867≤R2≥0.989. Noncompetitive sorption was monolayer chemisorption whereas competitive sorption exhibited heterogeneous sorption mechanisms.

Abstract The sorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms of zirconium, uranium, and molybdenum ions onto synthetic polyaniline/SiO2 composite (PAn/SiO2) have been studied using batch-sorption techniques. This study was carried out to examine the sorption behavior of the PAn/SiO2 for the removal of Zr(IV), U(VI), and Mo(VI) ions from an aqueous solution. The influence of some parameters on the sorption process was also studied. The maximum sorption for Zr(IV), U(VI), and Mo(VI) ions was achieved at 60 min shaking time. Langmuir isotherm model is the most representative for discussing the sorption process with a maximum sorption capacity of 24.26, 21.82, and 13.01 mg/g for Zr(IV), U(VI), and Mo(VI) ions, respectively. Kinetic modeling revealed that the sorption of all ions follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results demonstrated that both the external and intra-particular diffusion are taken into account in determining the sorption rate. Thermodynamic parameters like ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° for the sorption process were evaluated. The synthetic composite has been successfully applied for the removal and recovery of U(VI) ions from real solution (monazite leachate) using a chromatographic column packed with PAn/SiO2 composite with a breakthrough capacity equal to 239.70 mg/g.

In this work, the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions by Agave salmiana was investigated. For this purpose the removal of this heavy metal (Ni2+) was carried out in a batch system as a function of contact time, pH, and the initial concentration of the metallic specie in solution. The sorption data were fitted to pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models to found the parameteres which describe the processes. It was found that the maximum sorption of the Agave for Ni2+ was at pH 10 and pseudo-second order kinetic model well described the biosorption behavior of this heavy metal by the non-living biomass. Furthermore, the maximum sorption capacity obtained from the isotherm was 10 mgNi/gAgave.

Batch sorption experiments were performed for the removal of chromium(III) ions from aqueous solutions using Romanian Sphagnum moss peat (untreated and treated with NaCl solution) as sorbent. In order to establish the best conditions for the sorption of chromium(III), the influence of initial pH, contact time, peat dose and metal ion concentration was investigated. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich models were applied to describe the sorption isotherms and to calculate its constants. The experimental data fitted well to the Langmuir model with a maximum sorption capacity of 18.6 mg Cr(III)/g of peat. The mean free energy of sorption suggests that the binding of Cr(III) on peat occurred through an ion exchange mechanism. The kinetic data evaluated by pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models showed that the sorption of chromium onto the peat followed a pseudo-second order rate equation. The chromium(III) could be easily eluted from the loaded peat using 0.10 M HCl and the peat may be reused in several sorption/ desorption cycles. The experimental results indicated the potential of Sphagnum moss peat for removal of Cr(III) from wastewaters.

A series of three chitosan-based magnetic composites was prepared through a simple coprecipitation method. It was investigated the influence of mass ratio between chitosan and magnetite on the physical and chemical properties of the composites in order to establish the optimum conditions for obtaining a composite with good adsorption capacity for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions. It was found that the microspheres prepared using mass ratio chitosan / magnetite 1.25/1, having a saturation magnetization of 15 emu g--1, are the best to be used as adsorbent for the metal ions. The influence of different parameters such as initial pH values, contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, on the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) onto the chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent was investigated in details. The adsorption process fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model in both mono and bicomponent systems, and the maximum adsorption capacities calculated on the basis of the Langmuir model were 79.4 mg g--1 for Pb(II) and 48.5 mg g--1 for Cu(II) in monocomponent systems, while in bicomponent systems were 88.3 and 49.5 mg g--1, respectively. The results revealed that the as prepared chitosan-based magnetic adsorbent can be an effective and promising adsorbent for Pb(II) and Cu(II) from mono and bicomponent aqueous solutions.

In the present work, sugar beet pulp, a common waste from the sugar refining industry, was studied in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. The ability of this cheap biopolymer to sorb several metals namely Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions was investigated. The metal fixation capacities of the sorbent were determined according to operating conditions and the fixation mechanisms were identified. The biopolymer has shown high elimination rates and interesting metal fixation capacities. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated and discussed. For 8 × 10-4 M initial metal concentration, the initial sorption rates (v0) ranged from 0.063 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Pb2+ to 0.275 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Ni2+ ions, with the order: Ni2+ > Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. Then, the kinetic and equilibrium parameters calculated qm and v0 were tentatively correlated to the properties of the metals. Finally, equilibrium experiments in multimetallic systems were performed to study the competition of the fixation of Pb2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ cations. In all cases, the metal fixation onto the biopolymer was found to be favourable in multicomponent systems. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that this biosorbent represents a low-cost solution for the treatment of metal-polluted wastewaters.

Objective: In this research, a novel magnetite titanium dioxide nanocomposite functionalized by amine groups (Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2-NH2) was synthesized and its ability for efficient removal of Acid Fuchsine as an anionic dye from aqueous solutions was investigated. Method: The core-shell structure of Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 was prepared using Fe3O4 as magnetic core, tetra ethyl orthosilicate as silica and tetra butyl titanate as titanium source for shell. The synthesized nanocomposites (particle size lower than 44 nm) were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, DRS, SEM and TGA instruments. The various experimental parameters affecting dye removal efficiency were investigated and optimized using Taguchi fractional factorial design. Results: The synthesized adsorbent showed the highest removal efficiency of Acid Fuchsine (99 %) at pH= 3.5, without salt addition and during stirring at contact times less than 10 minutes. The study of kinetic models at two concentration levels showed the fast dye sorption on the surface of proposed nanocomposites with pseudo second order kinetic model (R2=1). Also, the fitting of Acid Fuchsine sorption data to Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherms suggested that Freundlich model gave a better fitting than other models (R2=0.9936, n=2). Conclusion: Good chemical stability, excellent magnetic properties, very fast adsorption kinetics and high removal efficiency make the synthesized nanocomposite as a proper recoverable sorbent for removal of Acid Fuchsine dye from wastewaters.
