Abstract In this study, adsorption/desorption of vancomycin (VAN) on bentonite nanoparticles was investigated in a batch system. Adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of several influential parameters such as adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time and ionic strength. Bentonite nanoparticles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses and the mesoporous structure was revealed. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were applied for the examination of equilibrium data, and Langmuir was found to be the best fit. With the increase in pH and ionic strength, the adsorption capacity decreases, which suggests the adsorption process may be dominated by the cation exchange mechanism. Moreover, VAN desorption from bentonite nanoparticles in two initial VAN loadings was investigated under different concentrations of metallic cations of various valences (Na+, Ca2+, Al3+), and pHs 3–10. Desorption was strongly pH-dependent and the amount of VAN desorbed increased with increasing cations concentrations. The FTIR analysis before and after VAN desorption suggests that the formation of Al-VAN and Ca-VAN complexes on the solid surface and then their detachment from the solid surface may contribute to the higher VAN desorption by Al3+ and Ca2+.

In the present work, the modified bentonites were prepared by the modification of bentonite with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), both cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hydroxy-Fe cations and both cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hydroxy-Al cations. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms were utilized to characterize the resultant modified bentonites. The modified bentonites were employed for the removal of phenol red dye from aqueous solution. Phenol red adsorption agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data were analyzed on the basis of various adsorption isotherm models, namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin‒Radushkevich models. The highest monolayer adsorption capacity of phenol red at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 166.7 mg·g−1, 125.0 mg·g−1, and 100.0 mg·g−1 for CTAB‒bentonite, Al‒CTAB‒bentonite, and Fe‒CTAB‒bentonite, respectively. Different thermodynamic parameters were calculated, and it was concluded that the adsorption was spontaneous (∆G° < 0) and endothermic (∆H° > 0), with increased entropy (∆S° > 0) in all the investigated temperature ranges.

This work presents a comparison between the biosorption of Hg (II) by raw almond shell and activated almond shell. Almond shell based activated carbon has been obtained by physicochemical activation. Batch biosorption results confirmed that, activating condition has a strong influence on the final biosorption process. The biosorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. To optimize the biosorption conditions pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration, contact time, stirring speed, and temperature on Hg (II) removal were studied. The optimum conditions for maximum Hg (II) was achieved at 20 and 10 min for raw almond shell and activated almond shell, respectively. The equilibrium data were described well by Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models and appling a test of model fitness. Best fit of Langmuir and Freundlich models were found for experimental data, which reveal the homogenous surface of raw almond shell and the heterogeneity of activated almond shell surface. The kinetic data had been divided into either pseudo first order or second order on the basis of the best fit obtained from calculations, confirmed by a test of kinetic validity. An industrial application was examined to improve high biosorption capacity of raw and activated almond shells toward Hg (II).

The nano-sorbent was synthesized by the embedment of magnetite onto the biochar obtained from Cassia auriculata for the effective adsorption of Levafix blue (LB) dye. Different instrumental techniques revealed the properties of biochar and the nano-sorbent. It was very distinct that the nano-sorbent gained highly favorable properties to be an effectual bio-sorbent. The effect of contact time, initial dye concentration and nano-sorbent dosage on the removal of LB dye was examined. Also, out of the kinetics studies models, the best fit and highest R2 values (0.9873) showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were established for the adsorption equilibrium data and the Temkin model showed the best reliability with the experimental results with highest R2 value of 0.9915. The adsorption system was modelled using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for biochar and nano-sorbent. The developed well-trained neural structure suggested the high performance of nano-sorbent.

AbstractWater pollution is a major global challenge given the increasing growth in the industry and the human population. The present study aims to investigate the efficiency of TiO2 and γ-Al2O3 nanoadsorbents for removal of copper (Cu(II)) from aqueous solution as influenced by different chemical factors including pH, initial concentration, background electrolyte and, ionic strength. The batch adsorption experiment was performed according to standard experimental methods. Various isotherm models (Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich) were fitted to the equilibrium data. According to geochemical modeling data, adsorption was a predominant mechanism for Cu(II) removal from aqueous solution. Calculated isotherm equations parameters were evidence of the physical adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) onto the surface of the nanoparticles. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm model could well fit the experimental equilibrium data at different pH values. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of TiO2 and γ-Al2O3 nanosorbents were found to 9288 and 3607 mg kg−1 at the highest pH value (pH 8) and the highest initial Cu(II) concentration (80 mg L−1) respectively. Copper )Cu(II) (removal efficiency with TiO2 and γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles increased by increasing pH. Copper )Cu(II) (adsorption deceased by increasing ionic strength. The maximum Cu(II) adsorption (4510 mg kg−1) with TiO2 nanoparticles was found at 0.01 M ionic strength in the presence of NaCl. Thermodynamic calculations show the adsorption of Cu(II) ions onto the nanoparticles was spontaneous in nature. Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanosorbents could, therefore, serve as an efficient and low-cost nanomaterial for the remediation of Cu(II) ions polluted aqueous solutions.

Treatment of wastewaters containing hazardous substances such as dyes from the textile, paper, plastic and food industries is of great importance. Efficient technique for the removal of highly toxic organic dyes is adsorption. In this paper, adsorptive properties of the carbon-silica composite (C/SiO2) were evaluated for the cationic dyes C.I. Basic Blue 3 (BB3) and C.I. Basic Yellow 2 (BY2). The sorption capacities were determined as a function of temperature (924.6–1295.9 mg/g for BB3 and 716.3-733.2 mg/g for BY2 at 20–60 °C) using the batch method, and the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were applied for the equilibrium data evaluation using linear and non-linear regression. The rate of dye adsorption from the 100 mg/L solution was very fast, after 5 min. of phase contact time 98% of BB3 and 86% of BY2 was removed by C/SiO2. Presence of the anionic (SDS), cationic (CTAB) and non-ionic (Triton X-100) surfactants in the amount of 0.25 g/L caused decrease in BB3 and BY2 uptake. The electrokinetic studies, including determination of the solid surface charge density and zeta potential of the composite suspensions in single and mixed adsorbate systems, were also performed. It was shown that presence of adsorption layers changes the structure of the electrical double layer formed on the solid surface, based on the evidence of changes in ionic composition of both surface layer and the slipping plane area. The greatest differences between suspension with and without adsorbates was obtained in the mixed dye + SDS systems; the main reason for this is the formation of dye-surfactant complexes in the solution and their adsorption at the interface.

The feasibility of preparing activated carbon from Eichornia crassipes by chemical activation was investigated. Batch experiments were carried out for the sorption of Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RB) onto the prepared activated carbon. The variables studied were initial dye concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time. Equilibrium data for the adsorption of the dyes onto activated carbon were obtained from batch adsorption experiments. Two-parameter isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich were employed for fitting equilibrium data. Three-parameter isotherm models including Redlich–Peterson, Toth, and Koble–Corrigan models were also employed for fitting the equilibrium data. Linear and non-linear regression methods were used to determine the best fit model to the equilibrium data. It was found that non-linear regression is a better method for determining isotherm parameters. The data were fitted to pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion model, and Elovich equation. The pseudo-second-order model gave the best fit to the equilibrium data as seen from correlation coefficient values. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopic investigations were carried out to confirm the morphological characteristics of the adsorbent. The prepared activated carbon had greater affinity for adsorbing MB when compared to RB.

Abstract In this research, a simple oxidation chemical process was applied for the synthesis of novel PANI@ZnO nanocomposite. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by XPS, XRD, FTIR, SEM, TGA and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Thereby, PANI@ZnO highest SBET values (about 40.84 m2.g− 1), total mesoporous volume (about 3.214 cm3.g− 1) and average pore size (about 46.12 nm). Afterwards, the prepared nanomaterial was applied as novel nanoadsorbent for the adsorption of Congo Red (CR) and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes from aqueous solutions at 298 K and pH 5.0. Besides, the pseudo-second-order model was obtained the best for the adsorption of both dyes. In the case of isotherm models, the Freundlich model showed the best fit. After removal, the spent adsorbent was regenerated. With the regeneration repeated five cycles, the PANI@ZnO regeneration efficiency remained at a very adequate level.

A series of poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate-co-itaconic acid), P(HEA/IA), hydrogels with different HEA/IA ratio, were synthesized using free radical crosslinking/copolymerization and investigated as sorbents for Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Hydrogels were characterized using DMA, FTIR, DSC, SEM and AFM. The adsorption was found to be highly dependent on hydrogel composition, solution pH, sorbent weight, ionic strength and contact time. Five isotherm models, Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich, were applied to the sorption data. The best fit was obtained with Redlich-Peterson isotherm. The separation factor, RL, value indicated favorable sorption for Pb2+ ions. The maximum sorption capacities were 392.2 and 409.8 mg/g for P(HEA/2IA) and P(HEA/10IA), respectively. Kinetic data showed best fit with pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the reaction was exothermic and proceeds with a decrease in entropy. Moreover, P(HEA/IA) hydrogel showed the most pronounced sorption toward Pb2+ ions from environment containing Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ ions. Sorption/desorption experiments, showed that the P(HEA/IA) hydrogels could be reused without significant loss of the initial properties even after three adsorption-desorption cycles.

Biosorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution by cow hooves (CHs) was investigated as a function of initial pH, contact time, and biosorbent dosage through batch studies. Equilibrium experiments were performed at three different temperatures (298, 308, and 318 K) using initial Pb2+ concentration ranging from 15 to 100 mgg−1. This study revealed that maximum uptake (96.2% removal) of Pb2+ took place within 30 minutes of agitation, and the process was brought to equilibrium within 60 minutes of equilibration. The equilibrium data were modelled using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. The Langmuir isotherm model fitted the data best at all temperatures considered. The Lagergren second-order kinetic model fitted the biosorption process better than the first-order model. The negative values obtained for both Gibb’s free energy change and enthalpy change are an indication of the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the sorption of Pb2+ onto CH. A study of the FTIR spectral obtained before and after Pb2+ sorption showed that carbonyl, hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups were involved in the sorption process.

In order to determine how water flowpath controls stream chemistry, we studied both soil and stream water during spring snowmelt, 1985. Soil solution concentrations of base cations were relatively constant over time indicating that cation exchange was controlling cation concentrations. Similarly SO4 adsorption-desorption or precipitation-dissolution reactions with the matrix were controlling its concentrations. On the other hand, NO3 appeared to be controlled by uptake by plants or microorganisms or by denitrification since their concentrations in the soil fell abruptly as snowmelt proceeded. Dissolved Al and pH varied vertically in the soil profile and their pattern in the stream indicated clearly the importance of water flowpath on stream chemistry. Although Al increased as pH decreased, the relationship does not appear to be controlled by gibbsite. The best fit of calculated dissolved inorganic Al was obtained using AlOHSO4 with a solubility less than that of pure crystalline jurbanite.
