The activated charcoal (AC) was synthesized from banana leaf rim (BLR) through three activation methods; physical (BLRC), chemical (Z BLRC, zinc chloride) and microwave activation (MW BLRC). The AC was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) & Differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) instrument and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The Z BLRC has better thermal stability and adsorbent character compared with BLRC or MW BLRC. The present work is confined to an investigation on the adsorption process of Malachite green dye onto BLRC, Z BLRC & MW BLRC. Factors affecting adsorption process were studied and results that adsorption increases with concentration of dye, agitation time and temperature. This experimental data satisfied the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Second order kinetics holds good for the present adsorption process. Thermodynamic parameters were (∆H‡, ∆S‡ & ∆G‡) evaluated. Based on the characterization and adsorption experimental result it may be concluded that Z BLRC has better adsorption capacity than BLRC or MW BLRC.

Here, using Fe3O4@SiO2 as a precursor, a novel core-shell structure magnetic Cu2+ adsorbent (Fe3O4@zeolite NaA) was successfully prepared. Several methods, namely X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were used to characterize the adsorbent. A batch experiment was conducted to study the Cu2+ adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA at different pH values, contact time, initial Cu2+ concentration and adsorbent does. It is found that the saturated adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA on Cu2+ is 86.54 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ is more consistent with the Langmuir model, suggesting that it is a monolayer adsorption. Adsorption kinetics study found that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ follows the pseudo-second kinetics model, which means that the combination of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA and Cu2+ is the chemical chelating reaction. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@zeolite NaA to Cu2+ is endothermic, with increasing entropy and spontaneous in nature. The above results show that Fe3O4@zeolite NaA is a promising Cu2+ adsorbent.

A design of experiments based on the Taguchi method was used to evaluate the main parameters affecting the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solution. By using the adsorption capacity of textile dye as target response, several experiments were carried out using L27 orthogonal array, and the higher-the-better as quality characteristics was applied. The controlling factors, including initial dye concentration, contact time and pH of solution were assessed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the effects of each factor on the adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption conditions giving higher adsorption capacity were selected as initial dye concentration of 500 mg.L-1, contact time of 180 min and pH of solution of 2. The analysis results revealed that the most relevant factors affecting the adsorption process of textile dye are the initial dye concentration and pH of solution. After 3 cycles of thermal regeneration, the diatomite behavior did not change and more than 60 % of dye was eliminated from solution after regeneration at 600°C. From the obtained results, the Taguchi method was very successful to optimize of the adsorption parameters for maximum removal rate, and gives more credibility for industrial application.

In this paper, calcium oxide (CaO) was produced by the thermal treatment of eggshell. The doping process with silver iodide (AgI), oxygen (O), sulfur(S) and nitrogen (N) was achieved by adsorbents. The adsorption of Acid fuchsine (AF), Indigo Carmine (IC), Nigrosine (NG) and Alizarine Red S (AR) on the surface of these particles was studied. The different conditions affecting the adsorption process, such as the time of equilibrium, the primary concentration of the studied dyes, the amount of the adsorbent, the acidic function, the speed of the pruning motion and the temperature were studied. The pH stability time (5-10 minutes), IC and NG (30 minutes) and AR were (90 minutes). The effect of temperature was also studied within the range (25-45 ° C). The results showed that the adsorption capacity increased by increasing the temperature, ie the reaction is endothermic. The study showed the effect of the acidic function on the percentage of pigmentation. The percentage was increased by increasing the acidic function in the basal circles on the surfaces except for the AR dye. It decreased the percentage by increasing the acidic function. The effect of the weight of the adsorbent was studied on the percentage of adsorption.

A magnetic Fe3O4/GO composite with potential for rapid solid-liquid separation through a magnetic field was synthesized using GO (graphene oxide) and Fe3O4 (ferriferous oxide). Characterization of Fe3O4/GO used scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). A number of factors such as pH and coexisting ions on adsorbent dose were tested in a series of batch experiments. The results showed that GO and Fe3O4 are strongly integrated. For pH values in the range of 3.0~9.0, the removal efficiency of Sb(III) using the synthesized Fe3O4/GO remained high (95%). The adsorption showed good fit to a pseudo-second-order and Langmiur model, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 9.59 mg/g maintained across pH 3.0–9.0. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the adsorption process is accompanied by a redox reaction.

This study is based on the implementation of a composite material with absorbent properties for the elimination of organic pollutants.In our case we used the slag (red slag)from the region of Bechar, (South-East of Algeria). Characterization using DRX and Fourier transforms infrared spectrometer(FT-IR), shows that, we were able to prepare adsorbents with very interesting structural and mechanical properties. The effectiveness of obtained adsorbents was evaluated in the removal of Cibacet Blue (CB) dye using the adsorption process. Kinetic resultswith an elimination rate of 83 % show that, the time to equilibrium is influenced by experimental conditions such us, contact time, pH, initial concentration, temperature and adsorbent mass. Pseudo-first order model represent very well our experimental results with adjustment coefficients (R2) close to 1. Modeling of adsorption isotherms of the CB dye on the red slagshows that both models of Langmuir and Freundlich can present our results with acceptable adjustment coefficients (R2> 0.995).

Chitosan (CS) modified with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was further modified with the zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8) by in situ growth method and was employed as adsorbent for the removal of rare-earth elements (REEs). The material (EDTA–CS@ZIF-8) and ZIF-8 and CS were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption experiments (N2- Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET)). The effects of adsorbent dosage, temperature, the pH of the aqueous solution, contact time on the adsorption of REEs (La(III), Eu(III), and Yb(III)) by EDTA–CS@ZIF-8 were studied. Typical adsorption isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R)) were determined for the adsorption process, and the maximal adsorption capacity was estimated as 256.4 mg g−1 for La(III), 270.3 mg g−1 for Eu(III), and 294.1 mg g−1 for Yb(III). The adsorption kinetics results were consistent with the pseudo-second-order equation, indicating that the adsorption process was mainly chemical adsorption. The influence of competing ions on REE adsorption was also investigated. After multiple cycles of adsorption/desorption behavior, EDTA–CS@ZIF-8 still maintained high adsorption capacity for REEs. As a result, EDTA–CS@ZIF-8 possessed good adsorption properties such as stability and reusability, which have potential application in wastewater treatment.

The properties of a rapid scanning Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) which permit its effective utilization in acquiring kinetics information are described. Experiments which would be lengthy and difficult to perform by conventional infrared procedures can be performed quickly and more reliably with an FT-IR system. The detection of all spectral frequencies simultaneously, inherent to the interferometer spectrometer, enables these advances to be achieved. The computer, which is essential for Fourier transformation, can also be utilized to provide absorbance profiles, differential profiles, and other display formats which can simplify the analysis and improve the reliability of kinetic measurements. Spectra and profiles obtained for a gas-solid adsorption process and a gas phase reaction of butadiene with an NO2-N2O4 mixture are presented to illustrate the potentials of an FT-IR system.
