Abstract The research aimed to develop a novel mesoporous aluminosilicate/zeolite composite by the template co-precipitation method. The effect of aluminosilicate (AlSi) and zeolite (NaY) on the basic properties and adsorption capacity of the resultant composite was conducted at different mass ratios of AlSi/NaY (i.e., 5/90, 10/80, 15/85, 20/80, and 50/50). The adsorption characteristics of such composite and its feedstock materials (i.e., aluminosilicates and zeolite) towards radioactive Sr2+ ions and toxic metals (Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions) in aqueous solutions were investigated. Results indicated that BET surface area (SBET), total pore volume (VTotal), and mesopore volume (VMeso) of prepared materials followed the decreasing order: aluminosilicate (890 m2/g, 0.680 cm3/g, and 0.644 cm3/g) > zeolite (623 m2/g, 0.352 cm3/g, and 0.111 cm3/g) > AlSi/NaY (20/80) composite (370 m2/g, 0.254 cm3/g, and 0.154 cm3/g, respectively). The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) of metal ions (Sr2+, Cu2+, and Pb2+) in single-component solution was 260 mg/g, 220 mg/g, and 161 mg/g (for zeolite), 153 mg/g, 37.9 mg/g, and 66.5 mg/g (for aluminosilicate), and 186 mg/g, 140 mg/g, and 77.8 mg/g for (AlSi/NaY (20/80) composite), respectively. Ion exchange was regarded as a domain adsorption mechanism of metal ions in solution by zeolite; meanwhile, inner-surface complexation was domain one for aluminosilicate. Ion exchange and inner-surface complexation might be mainly responsible for adsorbing metal ions onto the AlSi/NaY composite. Pore-filling mechanism was a less important contributor during the adsorption process. The results of competitive adsorption under binary-components (Cu2+ and Sr2+) and ternary-components (Cu2+, Pb2+, and Sr2) demonstrated that the removal efficacy of target metals by the aluminosilicate, zeolite, and their composite remarkably decreased. The synthesized AlSi/NaY composite might serve as a promising adsorbent for real water treatment.

Fly ash/magnetite material was used for the adsorption of copper ions from synthetic wastewater. The obtained material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Batch adsorption experiments were employed in order to investigate the effects of adsorbent dose, initial Cu (II) concentration and contact time over adsorption efficiency. The experimental isotherms were modeled using Langmuir (four types of its linearization), Freundlich, Temkin, and Harkins–Jura isotherm models. The fits of the results are estimated according to the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.39 mg/g. The pseudo-second-order model was able to describe kinetic results. The data obtained throughout the study prove that this novel material represents a potential low-cost adsorbent for copper adsorption with improved adsorption capacity and magnetic separation capability compared with raw fly ash.

The aim of the research was to prepare low-cost adsorbents, including raw date pits and chemically treated date pits, and to apply these materials to investigate the adsorption behavior of Cr(III) and Cd(II) ions from wastewater. The prepared materials were characterized using SEM, FT-IR and BET surface analysis techniques for investigating the surface morphology, particle size, pore size and surface functionalities of the materials. A series of adsorption processes was conducted in a batch system and optimized by investigating various parameters such as solution pH, contact time, initial metal concentrations and adsorbent dosage. The optimum pH for achieving maximum adsorption capacity was found to be approximately 7.8. The determination of metal ions was conducted using atomic adsorption spectrometry. The experimental results were fitted using isotherm Langmuir and Freundlich equations, and maximum monolayer adsorption capacities for Cr(III) and Cd(II) at 323 K were 1428.5 and 1302.0 mg/g (treated majdool date pits adsorbent) and 1228.5 and 1182.0 mg/g (treated sagai date pits adsorbent), respectively. It was found that the adsorption capacity of H2O2-treated date pits was higher than that of untreated DP. Recovery studies showed maximal metal elution with 0.1 M HCl for all the adsorbents. An 83.3–88.2% and 81.8–86.8% drop in Cr(III) and Cd(II) adsorption, respectively, were found after the five regeneration cycles. The results showed that the Langmuir model gave slightly better results than the Freundlich model for the untreated and treated date pits. Hence, the results demonstrated that the prepared materials could be a low-cost and eco-friendly choice for the remediation of Cr(III) and Cd(II) contaminants from an aqueous solution.

This paper describes the physico-chemical study of the adsorption of dysprosium (Dy3+) in aqueous solution onto two types of activated carbons synthesized from spent coffee ground. KOH activated carbon is a microporous material with a specific BET surface area of 2330 m2·g-1 and pores with a diameter of 3.2 nm. Carbon activated with water vapor and N2 is a solid mesoporous, with pores of 5.7 nm in diameter and a specific surface of 982 m2·g-1. A significant dependence of the adsorption capacity on the solution pH was found, while it does not depend significantly neither on the dysprosium concentration nor on the temperature. A maximum adsorption capacity of 31.26 mg·g-1 and 33.52 mg·g-1 for the chemically and physically activated carbons, respectively, were found. In both cases, the results obtained from adsorption isotherms and kinetic study were better fit to a Langmuir model and a pseudo-second-order kinetics. In addition, thermodynamic results indicate that dysprosium adsorption onto both activated carbons is an exothermic, spontaneous and favorable process.

The adsorption capacity of acetylsalicylic acid was evaluated using carbon xerogel (CX) and carbon xerogel modified with TiO2 nanoparticles (CXM). These materials were characterized by different techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. BET surface area measurements found values of 762 m2/g and 214 m2/g for CX and CXM, respectively. Batch experiments show that the Langmuir-Freundlich model best represents the experimental adsorption isotherm, in addition to show a maximum adsorption capacity of 17,48 mg/g.  In continuous experiments, the effect of the inlet concentration and flow rate on the adsorption capacity of the micro-packed bed adsorber were evaluated. Breakthrough curves agree well with the axial dispersion model. In view of their adsorption capacity, carbon xerogels provide a potential material for the removal of emergent contaminants from the pharmaceutical industry. Besides, the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles allows the implementation of complementary techniques, e.g. photodegradation, as an alternative to achieve higher elimination of aqueous contaminants.

In this study, environmentally friendly hydrogels prepared from hydroxy propyl cellulose hydrogels blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) were employed to absorb selected metal ions of Cu and Fe to find potential applications in removal of metal ion from water or in wastewater treatment. Highest adsorption capacity of hydroxy propyl cellulose hydrogels blended with PVA or PVP is shown at 0.04 % (w/v) of the metal ion solutions. Hydroxy propyl cellulose hydrogel when blended PVA has shown greater adsorption of Fe(III) ion than Cu(II) ion at higher pH. Hydroxy propyl cellulose hydrogel when blended with PVP also showed maximum adsorption capacity rather than PVA blended hydrogel.

Adsorption Behaviors

The adsorption of Cr(III) or Cr(VI) in the absence and presence of Cu(II) onto kaolin was investigated under pH 2.0–7.0. Results indicated that the adsorption rate was not necessarily proportional to the adsorption capacity. The solutions’ pH values played a key role in kaolin zeta potential(ζ), especially the hydrolysis behavior and saturation index of heavy metal ions. In the presence of Cu(II),qmixCr(III)reached the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.73 mg·g−1at pH 6.0, while the maximum adsorption capacity for the mixed Cr(VI) and Cu(II) system (qmixCr(VI)) was observed at pH 2.0 (0.38 mg·g−1). Comparing the adsorption behaviors and mechanisms, we found that kaolin prefers to adsorb hydrolyzed products of Cr(III) instead of Cr3+ion, while adsorption sites of kaolin surface were occupied primarily by Cu(II) through surface complexation, leading to Cu(II) inhibited Cr(VI) adsorption. Moreover, Cr(III) and Cr(VI) removal efficiency had a positive correlation with distribution coefficientKd. Cr(III) and Cr(VI) removal efficiency had a positive correlation with distribution coefficientKdand that of adsorption affinities of Cr(III) or Cr(VI) on kaolin was found to beKdCr(III) <KdCr(III)-Cu(II) andKdCr(VI) >KdCr(VI)-Cu(II).

Abstract Adsorptive properties for Cd(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) onto an amidoxime-functionalized polyacrylonitrile (APAN) micro/nanofibers were systematically investigated in hexahydroxy metallic solution system using batch experiments. The interactive effect of multi-metal ions in multi- metal systems was antagonistic in nature, and the adsorption capacity in multi-metal system was lower than that in single-metal system. The Langmuir isotherm model could explain respectively the isotherm and kinetic experimental data for hexahydroxy metallic system with much satisfaction. The maximum adsorption capacity in hexahydroxy metallic for Cd(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) was calculated to be 98 mg/L, 158 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 76, 312 and 58 mg/L individually. The APAN micro/nanofibers possessed good selectivity toward Pb(II) and Cr(III), over Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II), having the highest selectivity coefficients at 17.52 and 6.07 in the test range. The five adsorption-desorption cycle experiments exhibited that APAN micro/nanofibers adsorbent are readily reusable, and have potential for heavy metal removal from wastewater. The adsorption behavior in multi-metal systems was shown to be complex, including surface complexation, antagonistic competition and displacement reactions. The diversity and selectivity in metal ion adsorption onto the micro/nanofibers relate mainly to the stability constants, and the microscopic coupling mechanism between the heavy metal ions and the functional groups on the fiber surface. This interaction mechanism between the favorable component and other metal ions could contribute significantly to the direct displacement impact illustrated schematically.

Adsorptive Removal

The preparation of CuAl LDH and biochar (BC) composite derived from rice husk and its application as a low-cost adsorbent for enhanced adsorptive removal of malachite green has been studied. The composite was prepared by a one-step coprecipitation method and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM−EDX). The result indicated that CuAl LDH was successfully incorporated with the biochar that evidenced by the broadening of XRD peak at 2θ = 24° and the appearance of a new peak at 1095 cm−1 on the FTIR spectra. The BET surface area analysis revealed that CuAl/BC composite exhibited a larger surface area (200.9 m2/g) that the original CuAl LDH (46.2 m2/g). Surface morphological changes also confirmed by SEM image, which showed more aggregated particles. The result of the adsorption study indicated the composite material was efficient in removing malachite green with Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of CuAl/BC reaching 470.96 mg/g, which is higher than the original CuAl LDH 59.523 mg/g. The thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption of malachite green occurs spontaneously (ΔG < 0 at all tested temperature) and endothermic nature. Moreover, the CuAl/BC composite showed strong potential as a low-cost adsorbent for cationic dye removal since it showed not only a high adsorption capacity but also good reusability.

In this study, we prepared a novel calcium alginate-disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate dihydrate hybrid aerogel (Alg-EDTA) by chemical grafting and vacuum-freeze-drying to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater. Experimental results show that the as-prepared Alg-EDTA adsorbent has a high affinity for heavy metal ions, such as Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, and Co2+, and can adsorb >85% of metal ions from the corresponding solution. Alg-EDTA also exhibits high selectivity toward Cd2+, and the maximum adsorption capacity for Cd2+ reached 177.3 mg/g, which exceeds the adsorption capacity of most reported Cd2+-adsorbents. Adsorbent regeneration can be achieved by a simple acid-washing process, and adsorption performance of Alg-EDTA remains stable after repeated use. All these findings indicate that Alg-EDTA has a promising prospect in the treatment of heavy metal ions wastewater.
