In this article, the technical feasibility of various commercial adsorbents (activated carbon, clinoptilolite, and their mixture) for removal of Cr(total) ions from waste printing developer has been represent. Experimental tests were performed in laboratory batch mode. The adsorption data were analyzed using the Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Kaganer-Radushkevich (DKR) isotherm models. It was found that the Freundlich isotherm gave better results than the Langmiur and DKR models, with the corresponding correlation coefficients (R2): 0.981, 0.996 and 0.997 for mixture (NZ+AC), AC and NZ, respectively. The adsorption capacities of Cr(total) ions followed the order: (NZ+AC)>AC>NZ. The adsorption efficiencies of Cr(total) ions removal were 38.5 to 39.9%. Due to easy availability and good efficiency, the mixture of clinoptilolite and activated carbon is an ideal adsorbents for removal of Cr(total) ions from waste printing developer.

A commercial activated carbon was utilized for the adsorptive removal of phenol and o-cresol from dilute aqueous solutions. Batch mode adsorption studies were performed by varying parameters such as concentration of phenol solution, time, pH and temperature. The well known Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherm equations were applied for the equilibrium adsorption data and the various isotherm parameters were evaluated. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities were found to be 0.7877 and 0.5936 mmole/g, respectively, for phenol and o-cresol. Kinetic studies performed indicate that the sorption processes can be better represented by the pseudo-second order kinetics. The processes were found to be endothermic and the thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. Desorption studies performed indicate that the sorbed phenol molecules can be desorbed with dil. HCl.

Activated carbon prepared from Ricinus communis Pericarp was used to remove Ni(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption. Batch mode adsorption experiments are carried out by varying contact time, metal-ion concentration, carbon concentration and pH to assess kinetic and equilibrium parameters. The adsorption data were modeled by using both Langmuir and Freundlich classical adsorption isotherms. The adsorption capacity (Qo) calculated from the Langmuir isotherm was 31.15 mg/g of activated carbon at initial pH of 5.0±0.2 for the particle size 125-250 µm.

The aim of this study was the assessment of reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from micro-polluted water using activated carbon-attapulgite composite adsorbent prepared using activated carbon and natural attapulgite through compounding, granulation and calcination. The complete study was done in batch mode to investigate the effect of operating parameters. Adsorption of COD was found to be dependent on contact time, pH, temperature and initial COD concentration. Adsorption equilibrium attained within 80 minutes time. The optimum pH range for adsorption of organics was found to be 8. The sorption of organics decreased with rise of temperature because adsorption process was exothermic. The studied adsorption data fitted well to Langmuir adsorption model with the correlation coefficient 0.9947. The activated carbon-attapulgite composite adsorbent in this study shows very good promise for practical applicability on removal of COD from micro-polluted water.

The adsorption isotherm of chromium (VI) on activated carbon was obtained in a batch adsorber. The experimental adsorption data were fitted reasonably well to the Freundlich isotherm. The effect of pH on the adsorption isotherm was investigated at pH values of 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12. It was found that at pH < 6, Cr(VI) was adsorbed and reduced to Cr(III) by the catalytic action of the carbon and that at pH ≥ 12, Cr(VI) was not adsorbed on activated carbon. Maximum adsorption capacity was observed at pH 6 and the adsorption capacity was diminished about 17 times by increasing the pH from 6 to 10. The pH effect was attributed to the different complexes that Cr(VI) can form in aqueous solution. The adsorption isotherm was also affected by the temperature since the adsorption capacity was increased by raising the temperature from 25 to 40°C. It was concluded that Cr(VI) was adsorbed significantly on activated carbon at pH 6 and that the adsorption capacity was greatly dependent upon pH.

In the present study, the adsorption of acid orange 7 (AO7) dye from aqueous solution by sugarcane bagasse (SB) and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPBr) modified sugarcane bagasse (SBC) was examined. SBC was prepared by reacting SB with different concentrations (0.1, 1.0 and 4.0 mM) of cationic surfactant, CPBr. The SB and SBC were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch mode. The effect of initial AO7 concentrations (5-1000 mg/L), initial CPBr concentrations and pH of AO7 solution (2-9) on the adsorption capacity of SB and SBC were investigated. The experimental adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption of AO7 onto SB and SBC followed Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. The maximum uptake of AO7 was obtained by SBC4.0 (SB treated with 4.0 mMCPBr) with the adsorption capacity of 144.928 mg/g. The highest AO7 removal was found to be at pH 2 and 7 for SB and SBC, respectively. As a conclusion, sugarcane bagasse modified with CPBr can become an alternative adsorbent for the removal of anionic compounds in aqueous solution.

The adsorption of crystal violet dye from aqueous solutions onto an activated carbon prepared from peanut shells was analyzed in this study. The effects of particle size, initial concentration, time and temperature on crystal violet removal were studied in batch experiments. Experimental results showed that the adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 100 min for all studied concentrations. Analysis of adsorption results showed that the adsorption isotherms could be well fitted to the Langmuir model. Kinetic parameters, rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and related correlation coefficients for pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic models were calculated and discussed. The results revealed that the adsorption kinetics was in good agreement with the pseudo second-order equation. Thermodynamic parameters such as the change of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), change of enthalpy (ΔH°) and change of entropy (ΔS°) have also been determined and it has been found that the adsorption process should be spontaneous, endothermic and physisorption in nature.

Hydroxyiron-vermiculite complexes (Fe-Vermiculite) were prepared and identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface properties and selenate adsorption characteristics of Fe-Vermiculite were investigated. The specific surface area, surface fractal dimension D value and the pH value of the point of zero charge (pHPZC) of vermiculite were 287.19 m2/g, 2.14, and 2.87, respectively, and those of Fe-Vermiculite were 312.48 m2/g, 2.59, and 5.74, respectively. At pH 5.5, the maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) for selenate of vermiculite and Fe-Vermiculite were 4.36 and 9.12 mg/g, respectively. Langmuir isotherm was very suitable for describing the selenate adsorption of vermiculite (R2 =0.993), and Freundlich isotherm could fit the adsorption data for selenate by Fe-Vermiculite (R2 =0.981).

In the present study, brick kiln slag (BKS) has been utilized for low concentration As(III) adsorption in batch mode. BKS was modified with H2SO4 (SA) and NaOH (SB) for enhancing As(III) uptake capacity. Maximum adsorption capacity (13.7 mg/g) was observed for SA at 298 K, pH = 7.0, adsorbent dose = 0.3 g and time = 70 min which was 1.4 times higher than that of SB. Adsorption data modelled into Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Mass transfer coefficients decreased with increase in As(III) concentration. Film diffusion significantly dominated the adsorption of As(III) ions irrespective of the initial concentration. Dimensionless Sherwood number (Sh) interrelated As(III) concentration (Co) as: Sh = 2.97(Co)–0.376, Sh = 4.12(Co)–0.215, Sh = 4.83(Co)–0.588 for H2SO4 modified, NaOH modified and native slag respectively. Low temperature (298 K) favoured As(III) adsorption (based on ΔG° value). Therefore, the modified slag can be used as an effective adsorbent for As(III) remediation from groundwater.

This study analyses the feasibility of removing Direct Blue 71 from aqueous solution by different adsorbents such as activated carbon (TPAC) and Poly pyrrole polymer composite (PPC) prepared fromThevetia Peruviana. Batch mode adsorption was performed to investigate the adsorption capacities of these adsorbents by varying initial dye concentration, temperature, agitation time and pH. The performance of TPAC was compared with PPC. Among the adsorbents, PPC had more adsorption capacity (88.24%) than TPAC (58.82%) at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L and at 30°C. The experimental data best fitted with pseudo second order kinetic model. The adsorption data fitted well for Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorbents were also evaluated. The carbon embedded in conducting polymers matrix show better adsorptive properties than activated carbon.

Surface properties and Ni(II) adsorption characteristics of HA-vermiculite were investigated and compared with those of vermiculite. The cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH at zero point of charge (pHZPC), and surface charge at pH 6.5 and surface fractal dimension of HA-vermiculite were 44.69 cmol/kg, pH 2.57, -0.418 mmol/g, and 2.45, respectively. Compared to vermiculite, the CEC, surface negative charge and surface fractal dimension of HA-vermiculite increased, and the pHZPC of HA-vermiculite decreased. The adsorption data for Ni(II) by HA-vermiculite could be fitted by Langmuir isotherm (R2 =0.982) and also by Freundlich isotherm (R2 =0.987). At pH 6.5, the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities for Ni(II) of vermiculite and HA-vermiculite were 11.86 and 19.41 mg/g, respectively.
