The bio-nanocomposite of montmorillonite and natural biopolymer chitosan (C-MM) was synthesized. Intercalation of chitosan in form of monolayer into the interlamellar space of montmorillonite was confirmed by XRD and IR analysis. The adsorption of textile dyes: Acid Yellow 99 (AY99), Acid Orange 10 (AO10) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) onto C-MM was investigated. The adsorption was performed with the respect to adsorption time, pH and initial dye concentration. The kinetics of adsorption obeyed pseudo-second-order of kinetics and was the most efficient in acidic pH. Langmuir model best described the adsorption of AY99 and AO10 , while RB5 adsorption isotherm was best fitted with Freundlich model.

Activated charcoal was prepared from waste tire by using pyrolysis technique in three different atmospheres, viz, air, nitrogen and a combined atmosphere of nitrogen and water (steam). Methylene blue was then adsorbed on to these activated charcoals and the kinetics of adsorption was also studied. The adsorption isotherms of methylene blue were simulated by the mathematical equations of Langmuir and Freundlich. The Langmuir isotherms were found to have better fitting than that of Freundlich. The Qmax values obtained from Langmuir model were 0.032, 0.036, and 0.092 mmol/g for the activated charcoals prepared in air, nitrogen and nitrogen and water (steam), respectively. The overall reaction was found to be pseudo-second order with the rate constant of 4.2 × 10-2 L g/(mmolmin). The equilibrium adsorption value obtained from the kinetics data i.e. 0.072 (mmol/g) was found to be comparable with that obtained from Langmuir model.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v27i1.6437 J.

The present work aims to study the affinity of a component of the thyme essential oil “thymol” to natural Moroccan clay “Rhassoul” using the adsorption technique. The physicochemical characterizations of the purified and modified clay were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DTA/TGA, and SEM-EDX. Thymol adsorption tests on the purified Rhassoul (Rh-P) and the modified one by CTAB (Rh-CTAB) were followed by UV-visible spectroscopy. They show that the adsorption isotherms can be described by the Freundlich model and that the kinetics of adsorption is in accordance with the pseudo-second-order model for the two clays. Adsorption capacities obtained were of the order of 6 mg/g for the purified Rhassoul and 16 mg/g for the modified Rhassoul by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). These values show that the modified Rhassoul has a better adsorption capacity compared to the purified Rhassoul.

A sodium alginate/cellulose/n-clay composite was prepared as potential adsorbent for removal of Pb(II) from wastewater. The results showed that obtained adsorbent used for 4 mg L-1 initial concentration of Pb(II) in wastewater after 90 min adsorption time led to 90% removal efficiency and the adsorption capacity of the prepared composite was 0.11 mg .g-1. The isotherms and kinetics of adsorption revealed that the equilibrium adsorption and kinetics were well-described by the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, respectively.

The AAc/GO nanocomposite hydrogel was successfully employed as a polymeric Nano sorbent of the removal efficiency of M G dye from the model. The complication of the mechanism of the adsorption system was completely exposed by examining how solution pH affects adsorption, Ionic strength isotherm models, kinetic models, and thermodynamics. The adsorption of the MG dye was greatly dependent on the solution pH. The Freundlich model has been demonstrated to be the most accurate in describing the MG dye sorption, whilst the Langmuir model was shown to be the least accurate. Additionally, these integrated mechanisms fit nicely within the framework of a pseudo-second-order model. Additionally, the contact time at equilibrium short (ten minutes) required to MG removes demonstrates the AAc/GO nanocomposite hydrogel can be considered an efficient and potentially useful adsorbent for MG removal from industrial effluents.

<p>In Colombia, a mineral rich in MnO<sub>2</sub> is extracted from the mines of Mallama, Nariño. In this work we studied the adsorption capacity of this mineral for Fe(II) dissolved in aqueous solution of open systems. The characterization was done through ICP-AES, XRF and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of different pretreatments on the mineral with oxidizing agents such as KMnO<sub>4</sub> and NaClO was evaluated. Studies of equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption showed that the mechanism fits well to the Langmuir isotherm and its kinetics to a model of pseudo-second order. At the conditions studied was found that the adsorption capacity for the mineral modified with KMnO<sub>4</sub> and NaOCl were 59.209 and 51.279 mg/g respectively. It is concluded that the mineral is a potential alternative in water treatment.</p>

Abstract It is of great significance to remove Cr(VI) from water as a result of its high toxicity. Biochar from corn straw was modified by different acids (HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4) to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. To estimate the removal mechanisms of Cr(VI) by the acid-modified biochars, batch experiments were performed in the light of contact time, Cr(VI) concentration, and pH, and the characteristics of acid-modified biochars before and after Cr(VI) adsorption were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) by acid-modified biochars were consistent with the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherm obeyed the Freundlich model. Furthermore, the acid- modified biochars could supply more oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH and -OH) as electron donor (e−) and hydrogen ion (H+) to enhance the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), resulting in enhanced removal of Cr(VI). HNO3-modified biochar exhibited the highest removal efficiency of Cr(VI). In general, the acid modifition of biochar was an effective method to increase the removal of Cr(VI).

The adsorption of cadmium in simulated wastewater by chitosan was investigated. The influence of temperature, contact time and pH on adsorption efficiency of cadmium was examined. Some related mathematical models were used in the fitting of experimental data. The results showed that at room temperature, the optimum pH of adsorption is between 4 and 7. At lower pH values, a strong competition existed between cadmium ions and protons for sorption sites and the sorption efficiency was decreased. After 60 minutes the adsorption equilibrium can be achieved. Chitosan is very effective at removing cadmium with the maximum adsorption capacity is 112.05mg•g-1. The adsorption kinetic curves agree with the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic equations and the adsorption isotherms could be well described by Langmuir isotherm equations.

Surface modification of sodium montmorillonite (Na+-Mt) was performed using antimicrobial agents to produce an ecofriendly nanocomposite. The adsorption performance of the nanocomposite has been evaluated for the removal of Acid Blue 25 dye (AB25) as a model organic pollutant from wastewater. Sodium montmorillonite (Na+-Mt) was modified with three different ionene compounds through ion exchange, and further modified through reaction with polyaspartate to provide three ecofriendly nanocomposites (denoted ICP-1–3). The nanocomposites were characterized using FTIR, PXRD, TEM, SEM, and BET surface area. The adsorption isotherm of AB25 onto ICP-1, ICP-2 and ICP-3 was analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) models. The adsorption isotherm was found to be best fitted by a Freundlich model. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The kinetics of the adsorption data were analyzed and the adsorption behavior was found to obey pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the intraparticle diffusion model. The adsorption mechanism was studied by FTIR.

ABSTRACTThe intra-particle diffusion model (IPD), proposed by Weber and Morris has been applied to the analysis of the kinetics of adsorption on activated carbon fibers with phosphate groups in the removal of cadmium ions in aqueous media. It is evident that the removal of cadmium ion kinetic model of pseudo-second order provides a better fit than the model of pseudo-first order and the intra-particle diffusion model provides the best to the sample compared activating solution: grams fibers of 1:3.
