Ionic-Imprinted Chitosan/Chlorella biomass sorbent (IICCb) has been synthesized for selective adsorption of Cd(II) adsorption. IICCb was prepared by coating Cd(II)-complexed-chitosan hydrogel on the biomass surface followed by cross-linking procedure. Cd(II)-imprinting ions were then eluted using Na2EDTA solution to provide a specific template for binding sites of Cd(II). Batch adsorption was carried out as function of initial pH, contact time, and initial concentration of the Cd(II) solution. Result showed that the optimum adsorption of Cd(II) was found at pH 4-6. Study of pseudo-second order kinetic showed that the adsorption of Cd(II) on IICCb went faster than that on Ionic-Imprinted Chitosan (IIC) or Non-Imprinted Ionic Chitosan/Chlorella sorbent (NIICCb). The maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity as obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to be 53.76 mg/g on IICCb, that was comparatively higher than that on IIC (44.44 mg/g) or on NIICCb (51.02 mg/g) adsorbent.

Abstract In this study, an efficient route to synthesizing polyethyleneimine-modified ultrasonic-assisted acid hydrochar (PEI-USAH) is developed and reported. Ultrasonic irradiation technique was used as surface modification method to shorten the crosslinking reaction for hydrochar and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The PEI-USAH showed an excellent adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of this PEI-modified adsorbent were comparatively characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis and CNHS analysis. The effects of contact time, initial pH, and biosorbent dose on adsorption capacities were investigated. The batch adsorption experiments showed that PEI-USAH possessed the maximum adsorption capacities of 94.38 mg/g and 330.84 mg/g for initial Cr(VI) concentration of 100 mg/L and 500 mg/L, respectively. Furthermore, this adsorption process could be fitted to Langmuir adsorption and described by the pseudo second order kinetic model. Based on the above findings, PEI-USAH could be used as a potential adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater.

In the present study we explored the adsorptive characteristics of 4-nitroaniline from synthetic aqueous solution onto bagasse fly ash (BFA). Batch experiments were carried out to determine the influence of parameters like initial pH (pH0), adsorbent dose (m), contact time (t) and initial concentration (C0) on the removal of 4-nitroaniline. The maximum removal of 4-nitroaniline was determined to be 98% at lower concentrations (50 mg/L) and 41% at higher concentrations (300 mg/L), using a BFA dosage of 10 g/L at 303K. Kinetic study of 4-nitroaniline removal by BFA was well represented by pseudo second-order kinetic model. The 4-nitroaniline desorption from 4-nitroaniline loaded BFA shows that only 27% and 36% of 4-nitroaniline could be recovered using ethyl alcohol and acetone respectively.

Recently, low-cost adsorbents from sustainable sources are required for the remediation of textile wastewater. Carbonized Orange Peels (COPs) was utilized in remediating colour, Zinc and Copper from textile wastewater. The initial and final pH, colour and trace metals’ composition of the wastewater used were determined for the adsorption processes. Batch adsorption experiment was carried out on COPs and textile wastewater’s mixture to find effects of COP’s dosage, agitation, pH and contact time on the colour, Zinc and Copper’s removal from the wastewater. The adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies were conducted using Langmuir, Freundlich, Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order models. Findings established that the optimum removal of colour, Zinc and Copper respectively occurred at an adsorbent dosage of 2.5, 0.5 and 3.0 g/100ml, pH of 10, 4 and 2, rotating speed of 100, 250 and 250 rpm, contact time of 40, 60, and 40 mins. The adsorption isotherms revealed only copper adsorption as optimum and well fitted Langmuir isotherm. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model best suited adsorption data of the colour and metal ions with high correlation coefficient (R2) exceeding 0.95. Conclusively, COPs is effective in remediating the colour, copper and zinc from the wastewater, thus, recommended as suitable adsorbent for treatment of textile wastewater

The magadiite–magnetite (MAG–Fe3O4) nanocomposite has great potential applications in the field of biomaterials research. It has been used as a novel magnetic sorbent, prepared by co-precipitation method. It has the dual advantage of having the magnetism of Fe3O4 and the high adsorption capacity of pure magadiite (MAG). MAG–Fe3O4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were deposited on the interlayer and surface of magadiite. MAG–Fe3O4 was treated as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption properties of MAG–Fe3O4 were investigated on methylene blue; however, the results showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 improved remarkably compared with MA and Fe3O4. The adsorption capacity of MAG–Fe3O4 and the removal ratio of methylene blue were 93.7 mg/g and 96.2%, respectively (at 25 °C for 60 min, pH = 7, methylene blue solution of 100 mg/L, and the adsorbent dosage 1 g/L). In this research, the adsorption experimental data were fitted and well described using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The research results further showed that the adsorption performance of MAG–Fe3O4 was better than that of MAG and Fe3O4. Moreover, the adsorption behavior of MB on MAG–Fe3O4 was investigated to fit well in the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption kinetics. The authors also concluded that the isothermal adsorption was followed by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model; however, it was found that the adsorption of the MAG–Fe3O4 nanocomposite was a monolayer adsorption.

In this method,Leucaena leucocephalaseed pods (LLSP) have been used for removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the effect of process parameters like pH, contact time initial Cu(II) ions concentration and adsorbent dose. The maximum adsorption of Cu(II) ions onLeucaena leucocephalaseed pods was 94.17% at pH 5. The amount of metal adsorbed per unit weight of adsorbent increases with time and reach equilibrium after 30 minutes of shaking time for the different initial metal concentrations. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equations were applied for the equilibrium adsorption data and the various isotherm parameters were evaluated. The obtained plots were linear as evident fromR2values close to unity. The data agreed very well with the pseudo second-order kinetic model.

Digestate, as an urban solid waste, was considered as an innovative adsorbent for colorant polluted wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using digestate as an adsorbent material to remove various dyes belonging to different categories. The removal rate and adsorption capacity of dyes were evaluated and the dose of digestate, contact time, and initial dye concentration were studied. The maximum removal rate was approximately 96% for Methylene Blue. The equilibrium time for the Methylene Blue was 4 h, while for other dyes, a longer contact time was required to reach the equilibrium. The suspicion of colloidal matter release into the solution from solid fraction of the digestate led to the investigation of the consequence of a washing step of the digestate adsorbent upstream the adsorption experiment. Washed and not washed adsorbents were tested and the differences between them in terms of dye removal were compared. Moreover, experimental data were fitted by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intra-partial diffusion kinetic models as well as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips isotherm models. The results from fitted models showed that the adsorption of various dyes onto the digestate was mostly well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

In this study, Biosorption of hexavalent chromium ions from aqueous solution by using biomass ofAspergillus nigerwas investigated. Different parameters such as initial pH, biosorbent amount, contact time and temperature were explored. The biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was highly pH dependent and the optimum pH for biosorption of Cr (VI) ions was found to be 2.0. Biosorption capacity of Cr (VI) ions decreased with increased biosorbent dosage. The biosorption equilibrium was established in about 120min of contact time. Equilibrium uptake of Cr (VI) ions onto biomass increased from 12.57 mg/g at 20°C to 19.48 mg/g at 40 °C for 20mg/L Cr (VI) ions concentration. The biosorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model and the correlation coefficients from the pseudo-second order model were all higher than 0.997 in all studied temperatures. These results suggest that the biomass ofAspergillus nigeris a promising biosorbent for removal of chromium (VI) ions from the wastewater.

In this work, magnetic yeast (MY) was produced through an in situ one-step method. Then, MY was used as the core and the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) as the template to produce highly selective magnetic yeast-molecularly imprinted polymers (MY@MIPs). The physicochemical properties of MY@MIPs were assessed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), specific surface area (SBET) determination, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to compare MY@MIPs with MY and MY@NIPs (magnetic yeast-molecularly imprinted polymers without template), with MY@MIPs showing a better performance in the removal of SMX from water. Adsorption of SMX onto MY@MIPs was described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm, with maximum adsorption capacities of 77 and 24 mg g−1 from ultrapure and wastewater, respectively. Furthermore, MY@MIPs displayed a highly selective adsorption toward SMX in the presence of other pharmaceuticals, namely diclofenac (DCF) and carbamazepine (CBZ). Finally, regeneration experiments showed that SMX adsorption decreased 21 and 34% after the first and second regeneration cycles, respectively. This work demonstrates that MY@MIPs are promising sorbent materials for the selective removal of SMX from wastewater.

 The kinetics and equilibrium study of crystal violate dye adsorption on mixture of activated carbon (PWCAC) and (CSAC) was studied. The use of low cost ecofriendly adsorbent has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing of dye from aqueous solution. This study was done by batch adsorption techniques. The quantitative adsorption kinetic and equilibrium parameter for crystal violate dye were studied using uv-visible adsorption spectroscopy. The effect of initial dye concentration, pH,adsorbent dose, temperature, particle size were determined to find the optimal condition for adsorption. The percentage removal of dye was found to be most effective at pH10and contact time 120 min and at an adsorbent dose 4 g/L of dye. The study indicates that’s, the percentage removal of dye increases with increasing initial dye concentration, adsorption dose and contact time and attains equilibrium at optimum conditions.The equilibrium study of adsorption of crystal violate dye on to mixture of activated carbon was investigated using pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow pseudo second order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data of crystal violate dye on PWCAC and CSAC mixture was analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model. The results show that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation.
