Abstract This study aimed to investigate and explore the possibility of using ground sea shell powder (Donax trunculus) (SSP) for sorption of Sr(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The maximum removal of Sr(II) removal in SSP was 60% at initial Sr(II) concentration of 25 mg/L, at pH 6.0, contact time 120 min, temperature 25 °C and volume/mass ratio equivalent to 500. Sorption data were interpreted considering the adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic parameters calculated. The maximum Sr(II) adsorption on SSP was 25.45 mg/g at pH 6.0. Freundlich isotherm and Dubinin–Radushkevich models were seen to be more compatible with the sorption equilibrium. The nature of the process was spontaneous and exothermic. The results suggest that SSP could be used as an efficient and cost-effective adsorbent to remove strontium ion.

Rhytidiadelphus Squarrosus

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.

Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid, which is widely distributed in nature and is regarded as the largest mass poisoning in history. In the present study, the adsorption potential ofSalvadora persica(S. persica) stem ash in a batch system for the removal of As(V) from aqueous solutions was investigated. Isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of contact time (20–240 min), pH (2–11), initial arsenic concentration (50–500 μg/L), and adsorbent dose on sorption efficiency. Maximum removal efficiency of 98.33% and 99.32% was obtained at pH 6, adsorbent dosage 3.5 g/L, initial As(V) concentration 500 μg/L, and contact time 80 and 60 min forS. persicastem ash at 300 °C and 500 °C, respectively. Also, the adsorption equilibriums were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Such equilibriums showed that the adsorption data was well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model forS. persicastem ash at both 300 °C and 500 °C (R2=0.8983and 0.9274, resp.). According to achieved results, it was defined thatS. persicastem ash can be used effectively for As(V) removal from the aqueous environment.

<p>In this study, we report the effectiveness of natural and NaOH treated Moringa oleifera seeds for single and simultaneous Pb<sup>2+ </sup>and Cd<sup>2+</sup> from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The pH of point zero charge (pH<sub>pzc</sub>) was determined. Effects of contact time (15-1440 min), pH of solutions (2-10), mass of biosorbent (0.1-0.5 g) and initial metal ion concentration (10-1000 mg/L) were investigated using batch tests. The results show the pretreatment of biosorbent by NaOH improve significantly uptake capacity (mg/g) of the metal ions (q (Pb<sup>2+</sup>) = 38.45 and q (Cd<sup>2+</sup>) = 17.32 ˃ q (Pb<sup>2+</sup>) = 31.45 and q (Cd<sup>2+</sup>)= 14.67). Kinetic studies shown that the more than 90 % uptake of ion metals occurring within 120-180 min and the experimental data were better describe by a pseudo-second-order model. The sorption data for non-treated and NaOH treated Moringa oleifera seeds were evaluated by the Freundlich isotherm models to describe the adsorption equilibrium.</p>

   The potential application of granules of brick waste (GBW) as a low-cost sorbent for removal of Ni+2ions from aqueous solutions has been studied. The properties of GBW were determined through several tests such as X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET 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 nickel (39.4%) were 1.5 hr, 50 mg/L, 250 rpm, and 1.8 g/100mL, respectively. The adsorption data obtained by batch experiments subjected to the Three isotherm models called Langmuir, Freundlich and Elovich, The results showed that the Freundlich isotherm model described well the sorption data (R2=0.9176) in comparison with other models. The kinetic data were analyzed using two kinetic models called pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model was found to agree well with the experimental data.

The parametric statistical adsorption of chemically unmodified coconut shell powder (CSP) to adsorb iron (II) ions from aqueous solutions was examined in this work. It was observed that the adsorption capacity increased with increasing adsorbent dose, reducing adsorbate dose, increasing contact time, decreasing temperature and reducing particle size. As observed about one gram of the adsorbent was sufficient enough to remove 98 % iron (II) ions. A total contact time of about 40 minutes was sufficient for almost complete adsorption of the ions, while a pH of about 6.0 exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity. The sorption data were fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms, fitted most with the Freundlich Isotherm model. The energy values obtained from the Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model indicated high chemisorption phenomenon with the adsorbents. Investigation of some kinetic models confirmed that the adsorption of iron (II) ions using CSP was a pseudo-second order kinetic process, which further corroborates that chemisorption dominates the adsorption. Fourier Transform Analysis (FTIR) further established and justified the outcome of the study. The adsorption was parametrically justified statistically with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni-Holm Posthoc significance test. Conclusively, coconut shell proved strongly to be an effective and suitable adsorbent for removing iron (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

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.

A mesoporous silica was synthesized by annealing (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane grafted chitosan at 800˚C. The mesoporous silica was characterized by the XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. The BET specific surface area and pore size of silica was found to be 178.42 m2/g and 4.13 nm. The mesoporous silica was then employed for the efficient remediation of aqueous solutions contaminated with Cu(II) under batch and column reactor operations. The mesoporous silica showed extremely high per cent removal of Cu(II) at wide pH range i.e., pH ~2.0 to 7.0. Relatively a fast uptake of Cu(II) was occurred and high percentage removal was obtained at initial concentrations studied from 1.0 to 15.0 mg/L. The equilibrium state sorption data were utilized for the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm studies. Moreover, the effect of an increase in background electrolyte concentrations from 0.0001 to 0.1 mol/L NaNO3 was assessed for the uptake of Cu(II) by mesoporous silica. The equilibrium sorption was achieved within 240 min of contact and the kinetic data is best fitted to the pseudo-second-order and fractal like pseudo-second-order kinetic models. In addition, the mesoporous silica was used for dynamic studies under column reactor operations. The breakthrough curve was then used for the non-linear fitting of the Thomas equation and the loading capacity of the column for Cu(II) was estimated.

Magnetic multi-wall carbon nanotubes (M-MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for removal of furaltadone from aqueous solutions, and the adsorption behaviors were investigated by varying pH, sorbent amount, sorption time and temperature. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency of furaltadone reached 97% when the dosage of M-MWCNT was 0.45 g · L−1, the pH was 7 and the adsorption time was 150 min. The kinetic data showed that the pseudo-second-order model can fit the adsorption kinetics. The sorption data could be well explained by the Langmuir model under different temperatures. The adsorption process was influenced by both intraparticle diffusion and external mass transfer. The experimental data analysis indicated that the electrostatic attraction and π–π stacking interactions between M-MWCNT and furaltadone might be the adsorption mechanism. Thermodynamic analysis reflected that adsorption of furaltadone on the M-MWCNT was spontaneous and exothermic. Our study showed that M-MWCNTs can be used as a potential adsorbent for removal of furaltadone from water and wastewater.
