Phosphate is an important component for the growth of plants and microorganisms; however, excess phosphate causes serious eutrophication in natural waters. New potential low-loss adsorbents from natural biomass for phosphate removal are desired. Bamboo is one of the most abundant renewable cellulose resources; however, the pure bamboo cellulose is poor to adsorb phosphate. To enhance the adsorption capacity, in this work, bamboo sawdust (BS) was chemically modified by two kinds of amines. First, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was grafted on BS using radiation induced graft polymerization. Then, the GMA-grafted BS was further modified by a ring-opening reaction with amines, including ethylenediamine (EDA) and pentaethylene hexamine (PEHA). The amine groups were then quaternized to prepare the BS-GMA-EDA-Q and BS-GMA-PEHA-Q adsorbents. The adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TG, and XPS analysis. The adsorption performances of the adsorbents for phosphate were evaluated through batch experiments. The adsorption by BS-GMA-EDA-Q and BS-GMA-PEHA-Q both well obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that the adsorption process was chemical monomolecular layer adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities for BS-GMA-EDA-Q and BS-GMA-PEHA-Q calculated by the Langmuir model were 85.25 and 152.21 mg/g, respectively. A total of 1 mol/L HCl was used to elute the saturated adsorbents. A negligible decrease in adsorption capacity was found after five adsorption–desorption cycles.

Abstract In this paper, a series of bio-adsorbents (LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA) were successfully prepared by modifying Licorice Residue with NaOH, Na2CO3 and citric acid, which were used as the adsorbents to remove Cu2+ from wastewater. The morphology and structure of bio-adsorbents were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared, SEM, TG and XRD. Using static adsorption experiments, the effects of the adsorbent dosage, the solution pH, the adsorption time, and the initial Cu2+ concentration on the adsorption performance of the adsorbents were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption process of Cu2+ by the bio-adsorbents can be described by pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. The surface structure of the LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA changed obviously, and the surface-active groups increased. The adsorption capacity of raw LR was 21.56 mg/g, LR-NaOH, LR- Na2CO3 significantly enhanced this value up to 43.65 mg/g, 43.55 mg/g, respectively. After four adsorption-desorption processes, the adsorption capacity of LR-NaOH also maintained about 73%. Therefore, LR-NaOH would be a promising adsorbent for removing Cu2+ from wastewater, and the simple strategy towards preparation of adsorbent from the waste residue can be as a potential approach using in the water treatment.

Abstract Heavy metal and radioactive ions can cause serious environmental problems if they are not completely removed from wastewater as well as in groundwater. In this study, large pore LTL and MOR zeolites were successfully synthesized and used as adsorbent to remove Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Cs+ and Sr2+ ions in aqueous solution. At low initial concentration (10 ppm), LTL and MOR zeolites effectively removed above metal ions with removal efficiency in the range of 95–99%. Both zeolites showed high affinity to Cs+ and Pb2+ ions with the adsorption capacity of LTL zeolite to Cs+ and Pb2+ were 278.8 mg/g and 141.4 mg/g, and that of MOR zeolite were 238.8 mg/g and 178.9 mg/g, respectively. The EDS results showed that Pb2+ ions from the aqueous solution were exchanged with exchangeable Na+ ions in MOR zeolite and K+ ions in LTL zeolite. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model fitted better to experiment data on the adsorption of metal ions on both LTL and MOR zeolite. This result revealed that the adsorption of these metal ions on LTL and MOR zeolite was monolayer chemisorption. The equilibrium adsorption results showed that the microstructure of zeolite significantly affected the adsorption capacity of LTL and MOR zeolite on removal of tested metal ions.

Desiccated coconut waste (DCW) is an agricultural waste that originates from the coconut milk processing industry. In this study, it was utilized for the removal of copper (Cu(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)) via adsorption process. The physicochemical characterization of the DCW adsorbent shows that the adsorbent have a surface area of 6.63 m<sup>2</sup>/g, have high elemental carbon content and existences of important functional groups on its surface. The adsorptive capability of DCW adsorbent in removing the heavy metal were conducted in batch studies. DCW adsorbent performed highest Ni(II) and Cu(II) adsorption capacity at pH 6, where equilibrium is achieved at 450 minutes. The kinetic analysis showed the adsorption agreed with pseudo-second order kinetic model, indicating the Cu(II) and Ni(II) adsorption were a chemical adsorption, limited by the film diffusion. The DCW adsorbent still retained its effective adsorption capacity after 2 adsorption-desorption cycles, which is one of the excellent criteria of a good adsorbent for an adsorption process.

Dyes used by the textile, tannery, and food industries tend to pollute water bodies and must be removed to get clean water. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was synthesized from eggshells using the wet precipitation process. The as-synthesized HAP was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The synthesized HAP was mixed with three different clays: halloysite (HNT), kaolinite (KAO), and bentonite (BENT). The removal efficiency values of methylene blue (MB) from the data showed that HAP-BENT adsorbents had higher values, followed by HAP-HNT and then HAP-KAO adsorbents. The combined masses of 24 mg, 34.5 mg, and 33 mg (representing 20%, 15%, and 10% of HAP-BENT mass) had average adsorption capacity values of 20.7 mg/g, 17.2 mg/g, and 17.9 mg/g, respectively. For each mass percentage, the adsorption capacity values were found to decrease with adsorbent dosage. The HAP-BENT composites had removal efficiency values of 98.4, 91.9%, and 91.9%, respectively. Adsorption data for the HAP-BENT adsorbents were found to be well described by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The effect of temperature on adsorption capacity was evaluated and thermodynamical modeling was undertaken. The thermodynamical modeling predicts that based on the value of the change in enthalpy and Gibbs free energy the process was exothermic and spontaneous. This work confirms the potential of HAP-clay composites in removing MB from water.

The preparative purification of liriodendrin fromSargentodoxa cuneatausing macroporous resin combined with crystallization process was evaluated. The properties of adsorption/desorption of liriodendrin on eight macroporous resins were investigated systematically. X-5 resin was selected as the most suitable medium for liriodendrin purification. The adsorption of liriodendrin on X-5 resin fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Dynamic adsorption/desorption tests were performed using a glass column packed with X-5 resin to optimize the separation process of liriodendrin. After one treatment with X-5 resin, the content of liriodendrin in the product was increased 48.73-fold, from 0.85% to 41.42%, with a recovery yield of 88.9%. 97.48% liriodendrin was obtained by further crystallization and determined by HPLC. The purified product possessed strong antioxidant activity. In conclusion, purification of liriodendrin might expend its further pharmacological researches and further applications in pharmacy.

Abstract In this work, the efficient extraction of uranium in solution using Al2O3-SiO2-T was reported. Kinetics and isotherm models indicated that the removal process of uranium onAl2O3-SiO2-T accorded with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, which showed that the adsorption process was a uniform mono-layer chemical behavior. The maximum adsorption capacity of Al2O3-SiO2-T reached 738.7 mg g-1, which was higher than AlNaO6Si2 (349.8 mg g-1) and Al2O3-SiO2-NT (453.1 mg g-1), indicating that the addition of template could effectively improve the adsorption performance of Al2O3-SiO2 to uranium. Even after five cycles of adsorption-desorption, the removal percentage of uranium on Al2O3-SiO2-T remained 96%. Besides, the extraction efficiency of uranium on Al2O3-SiO2-T was 72.5% in simulated seawater, which suggested that the Al2O3-SiO2-T was expected to be used for uranium extraction from seawater. Further, the interaction mechanism between Al2O3-SiO2-T and uranium species was studied. The results showed that the electrostatic interaction and complexation played key roles in the adsorption process of Al2O3-SiO2-T to uranium.

In this study, a granular material (GM) developed from building waste was used for phosphate removal from phosphorus-containing wastewater. Batch experiments were executed to investigate the phosphate removal capacity of this material. The mechanism of removal proved to be a chemical precipitation process. The characteristics of the material and resulting precipitates, the kinetics of the precipitation and Ca2+ liberation processes, and the effects of dosage and pH were investigated. The phosphate precipitation and Ca2+ liberation processes were both well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. A maximum precipitation capacity of 0.51 ± 0.06 mg g−1 and a liberation capacity of 6.79 ± 0.77 mg g−1 were measured under the experimental conditions. The processes reached equilibrium in 60 min. The initial solution pH strongly affected phosphate removal under extreme conditions (pH &lt;4 and pH &gt;10). The precipitates comprised hydroxyapatite and brushite. This novel GM can be considered a promising material for phosphate removal from wastewater.

<p>The present study is based on the adsorption of cadmium (II) ions on rice husk and egussi peeling, unmodified and modified with nitric acid in aqueous solution, using batch technique. It was carried out as a function of contact time, dosage, pH and initial concentration. The equilibrium time was achieved within 25 minutes for unmodified rice husk (Glu NT) and 20 minutes for unmodified egussi peeling (Cuc NT) with an adsorbed quantity of 13.18 mg/g. In the case of modified materials, we obtained 15 minutes for modified rice husk (Glu HNO3) and 10 minutes for modified egussi peeling (Cuc HNO3) with an adsorbed quantity of 18.77 mg/g. The maximum biosorption occurred at pH 5.5 for all biosorbents. The adsorbent mass for maximum adsorption was 0.4 g giving an adsorption capacity of 62.02 % for unmodified adsorbents. In the case of modified adsorbents, the minimal mass at which maximum adsorption occurred was 0.4 g giving an adsorption capacity of 98.33 % and 0.6 g giving an adsorption capacity of 98.33 % for modified rice husk and egussi peeling respectively. The adsorbent/adsorbate equilibrium was well described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model and by Langmuir’s and Freundlich adsorption model. This models showed that the adsorption of cadmium (II) is a chemisorption process.</p>

Glucomannan/graphene oxide (GM/GO) hydrogel was synthesized by using calcium hydroxide as the crosslinker. The synthesized material was characterized by using IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and RAMAN technology. The composite hydrogel was used for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution. The results showed that the GM/GO hydrogel had a porous structure and a high adsorption capacity toward methylene blue (MB). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model could fit the rate equation of MB adsorption onto the GM/GO hydrogel. The adsorption of MB onto GM/GO hydrogel was a spontaneous process. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherm data indicated that equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum dye adsorption capacity was 198,69 mg.g-1. Moreover, the hydrogel was stable and easily recovered and adsorption capacity was around 97% of the initial saturation adsorption capacity after being used five times.
