Abstract Polydopamine-modified granule organo-attapulgite adsorbent (PDA-GOAT) was facilely prepared via a dip-coating approach. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Surface area and pore size were calculated from the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method by N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm. The adsorption behaviour of methylene blue (MB) onto PDA-GOAT was systematically investigated. The experimental data revealed that the adsorption process fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics equation and the adsorption isotherm fitted better with the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic analyses illustrated that MB adsorption onto PDA-GOAT was a physisorption endothermic process. Importantly, PDA-GOAT can be regenerated by NaBH4 aqueous solution. The obtained results prove that PDA-GOAT can be a superior reusable adsorbent for the removal of MB from effluent.

Abstract In this work, novel Prussian blue tetragonal nanorods were prepared by template-free solvothermal methods for removal of radionuclide Cs and Sr. It was worth that Prussian blue nanorods exhibited the better adsorption performance than co-precipitation PB or Prussian blue analogue composites. Thermodynamic analysis implied that adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic which was described well with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order equation, the maximum adsorption capacity of PB nanorod was estimated to be 194.26 mg g-1 and 256.62 mg g-1 for Cs+ and Sr2+. The adsorption mechanism of Cs+ and Sr2+ was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and 57Fe Mössbaure spectroscopy, the results revealed that Cs+ entered in PB crystal to generate a new phase, the most of Sr2+ was trapped in internal crystal and the other exchanged Fe2+. Furthermore, the effect of co-existing ions and pH for PB adsorption process were also investigated. The results suggest that PB nanorods were outstanding candidate for removal of Cs+ and Sr2+ from radioactive wastewater.

A purified raw montmorillonite and hydroxy-aluminum pillared montmorillonite have been prepared from a natural bentonite from Maghnia, Algeria. These materials have been analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement. The pillared montmorillonite provided a certain increase of interlayer basal spacing and BET surface area and consequently the improvement of its capacities adsorption and decolorization of Methylene Blue. The adsorption properties of these materials were studied as a function of contact time, solution pH, initial Methylene Blue concentration and temperature. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were well fitted by pseudo-second order and Freundlich models, respectively. In addition to that, thermodynamic studies showed an exothermic and a spontaneous process.

Abstract An inactive biomass of a new fungus recently discovered, Diaporthe schini, was evaluated for the biosorption of crystal violet (CV) in simulated textile effluents. The characterization assays were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The influences of pH and biosorbent dosage on the biosorption capacity were evaluated. Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies were also carried out. Characterization techniques showed an amorphous biosorbent, with a rough surface containing irregular particles and surface area of 6.5 m2 g−1. The most adequate values of pH and biosorbent dosage were 7.5 and 0.4 g L−1, respectively. The Elovich kinetic model and the Sips equilibrium model were suitable to fit the experimental data. The biosorption capacity increased with temperature, reaching a maximum biosorption capacity of 642.3 mg g−1 at 328 K. The biosorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. Diaporthe schini inactive biomass was an interesting biosorbent to treat colored effluents, presenting efficiency of 87% in the decolorization of a simulated dye house effluent.

It was found previously that neither monomer MoS2 nor WO3 is an ideal material for the adsorption of organic dyes, while MoS2/WO3 composites synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method have outstanding adsorption effects. In this work, the chemical state of each element was found to be changed after combination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, which lead to their differences in adsorption performance. Moreover, the adsorption test of methylene blue on MoS2/WO3 composites was carried out under a series of temperatures, showing that the prepared composites also had appreciable adsorption rates at lower temperatures. The adsorption process could be well described by the Freundlich isothermal model and the pseudo-second order model. In addition, the particle-internal diffusion model simulation revealed that the internal diffusion of the particles played an important role in the whole adsorption process.

Commercially available coal-based activated carbon was treated with different concentration of nitric acid. The resultant samples were used to adsorb lead from aqueous solution. N2 adsorption, Boehm titration, point of zero charge (pHPZC) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the samples. Acidic pH is favorable for Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption. The acidic groups increase significantly with the increment of the concentration of nitric acid during the treatment. The carboxylic groups of surface carbon play an important role in the adsorption process.

Nanoporous polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) material has been successfully prepared via the copolymerization of divinylbenzene monomers. The nanoporous PDVB was characterized through N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The nanoporous PDVB as an adsorbent was applied for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB). The adsorption behavior of PDVB for the removal of RhB showed that the isotherm data followed the Langmuir isotherm model and the kinetic adsorption obeyed the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic parameters illustrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. Interestingly, the spent nanoporous PDVB has excellent regenerative performance through treating it with ethanol. These results revealed that PDVB might be an excellent adsorbent for the removal of RhB from wastewater.

A series of CuxCe1-xO2-x/SBA-15/cordierite (x = 0-1) catalysts were prepared. The activity of the catalysts for CO combustion was evaluated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Deactivation behavior of the catalysts for the catalytic combustion of CO was investigated. The results show that all of the catalysts retained the SBA-15 mesoporous structure. It is proposed that deactivation of the catalysts is associated with the increase of the Cu+ and the decrease of the Cu2+ in the catalysts.

The composite hydrogels based on N,N?-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were prepared by amino radical polymerization and confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Then adsorption behavior and mechanism of Cr(VI) ions on the obtained materials were investigated with scanning electron microscope, Zeta potential and thermal gravity analysis, etc. The adsorption process was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) ions reached 122.8 mg g-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and pH analysis revealed that the Cr(VI) ions were adsorbed into the gels through electrostatic interaction mechanism, and SO42- in the solution had a great effect on the adsorption process. In addition, high pH and ionic strength could reduce the uptakes of adsorbate, which could be used for desorption of Cr(VI) ions from the gels.

The study was focused on the preparation and characterizations of sodium periodate-modified nanocellulose (NaIO4-NC) prepared from Eichhornia crassipes for the removal of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewater (WW). A chemical method was used for the preparation of NaIO4-NC. The prepared NaIO4-NC adsorbent was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) instruments. Next, it was tested to the adsorption of MB dye from WW using batch experiments. The adsorption process was performed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models with maximum adsorption efficiency (qmax) of 90.91 mg·g−1 and percent color removal of 78.1% at optimum 30 mg·L−1, 60 min., 1 g, and 8 values of initial concentration, contact time, adsorbent dose, and solution pH, respectively. Pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model was well fitted for the adsorption of MB dye through the chemisorption process. The adsorption process was spontaneous and feasible from the thermodynamic study because the Gibbs free energy value was negative. After adsorption, the decreased values for physicochemical parameters of WW were observed in addition to the color removal. From the regeneration study, it is possible to conclude that NaIO4-NC adsorbent was recyclable and reused as MB dye adsorption for 13 successive cycles without significant efficient loss.

A magnetic Fe3O4/GO composite with potential for rapid solid-liquid separation through a magnetic field was synthesized using GO (graphene oxide) and Fe3O4 (ferriferous oxide). Characterization of Fe3O4/GO used scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). A number of factors such as pH and coexisting ions on adsorbent dose were tested in a series of batch experiments. The results showed that GO and Fe3O4 are strongly integrated. For pH values in the range of 3.0~9.0, the removal efficiency of Sb(III) using the synthesized Fe3O4/GO remained high (95%). The adsorption showed good fit to a pseudo-second-order and Langmiur model, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 9.59 mg/g maintained across pH 3.0–9.0. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the adsorption process is accompanied by a redox reaction.
