In this work, a highly selective and efficient polymer adsorbent inspired by a water-soluble sulfonated poly(arylene ether nitrile) (SPEN) was successfully synthesized. Due to the distinct structure of functional carboxyl, sulfonic acid and rigid benzene rings, a facile aluminium (III) ions crosslinking method was employed to fabricate the SPEN-based adsorbents (SPEN-Al). Among the three adsorbents, SPEN-Al-2 exhibited superior adsorption capacities with uniform morphology. Subsequently, the SPEN-Al-2 was selected as the adsorbent for three cationic dyes (rhodamine B (Rh B), neutral red (NR), methylene blue (MB)) and three anionic dyes (orange G (OG), methyl orange (MO), acid fuchsin (AF)), respectively, demonstrating that the adsorbent possessing excellent selectivity toward cationic dyes. Moreover, the dye’s adsorption selectivity of SPEN-Al-2 was further certificated in a binary cationic-anionic dyes mixtures (MB/OG and MB/MO) system. Taking MB as a dye model, a series of factors (contact time, concentration, temperature and pH) and adsorption models were systematically investigated in dye adsorption experiments. Results indicated that the adsorption was endothermic and the maximum adsorption capacity of SPEN-Al-2 could reach up to 877.5 mg/g; pseudo-second-model and Langmuir model were fitted to the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherm, respectively, manifesting that SPEN-Al adsorbent was promising in the dyes removing field.

AbstractIn our work, the removal of cationic and anionic dyes from water was estimated both experimentally and computationally. We check the selectivity of the adsorbent, Zn–Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) toward three dyes. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesis adsorbent before and after the adsorption process were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, HRTEM, and FESEM analysis, particle size, zeta potential, optical and electric properties were estimated. The effect of pH on the adsorption process was estimated. The chemical stability was investigated at pH 4. Monte Carlo simulations were achieved to understand the mechanism of the adsorption process and calculate the adsorption energies. Single dye adsorption tests revealed that Zn–Fe LDH effectively takes up anionic methyl orange (MO) more than the cationic dyes methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG). From MO/MB/MG mixture experiments, LDH selectively adsorbed in the following order: MO > MB > MG. The adsorption capacity of a single dye solution was 230.68, 133.29, and 57.34 mg/g for MO, MB, and MG, respectively; for the ternary solution, the adsorption capacity was 217.97, 93.122, and 49.57 mg/g for MO, MB, and MG, respectively. Zn–Fe LDH was also used as a photocatalyst, giving 92.2% and 84.7% degradation at concentrations of 10 and 20 mg/L, respectively. For visible radiation, the Zn–Fe LDH showed no activity.

<div><p>Here, we report a highly efficient adsorbent obtained from the carbonization of metallized bagasse. The material is characterized using FESEM, HRTEM, PXRD, zeta-potential and VSM techniques. The material shows an impressive adsorbent property for anionic dyes, pharmaceutical (paracetamol) along with commercially used ‘hair dye’. Further, pH triggered adsorption of Methylene orange (MO), Congo red (CR), Amido black (AB), and paracetamol were studied and results show an impressive adsorption capacity of 1102.9, 1253.9, 877.2, 227.8 mg/g respectively. It is seen that under experimental conditions, adsorbent shows ultrafast adsorption kinetics where ~96% AB dye gets adsorbed in just 5 min, 93% of CR adsorption in 5 min and ~89% of MO adsorption in 5 min. Also, we could observe fast adsorption rate for commercially used ‘hair dye’ and paracetamol drug. Interestingly, in just 5 min, 95% of hair dye adsorption is seen and ~84% drug removal with maximum adsorption capacity of , recyclability of the adsorbent demonstrates the practical benefits of the material for waste water remediation.</p></div>

This paper describes a novel chromatographic method for efficient removal of anionic dyes from aqueous solutions. Chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles can easily be immobilized on a dextran gel column. Single elution of Evans Blue (EB) solution to the nanoadsorbent-incorporated columns provides high removal efficiency with a maximum adsorption capacity of 243.9 mg/g. We also investigated the influence of initial concentration and solution pH on the removal efficiency of EB. The electrostatic interaction between the adsorbent surface and negatively charged sulfate groups on EB molecules promotes the efficient adsorption of dyes. The equilibrium data matched well with the Langmuir isotherm model, which indicated monolayer dye adsorption onto the adsorbent surface. To extend the application of the current method, we performed further adsorption experiments using other anionic dyes of different colors (Cy5.5, Acid Yellow 25, Acid Green 25, and Acid Red 1). All of these molecules can efficiently be captured under continuous flow conditions, with higher removal efficiency obtained with more negatively charged dyes. These findings clearly demonstrate that the present approach is a useful method for the removal of anionic dye contaminants in aqueous media by adsorption.

Abstract Porous β-cyclodextrin-containing materials have significant potential as adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from water. However, preparing these porous polymers in the aqueous phase is challenging. In this study, a kind of novel porous aromatic-cyclodextrin polymers (P-aro-CDPs) was designed and synthesized in aqueous solution under mild conditions by exploiting covalence-crosslinking reaction. P-aro-CDPs were characterized using a variety of methods, which revealed that P-aro-CDPs have a hierarchical porous structure, a highly negatively charged surface, and rich in hydroxyl groups. The prepared P-aro-CDPs showed excellent removal efficiency for methylene blue, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 194.17 mg g-1. The adsorption data are well fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. The as-synthesized P-aro-CDPs material exhibited superior adsorption selection toward cationic dyes than anionic dyes whether in single or multicomponent systems. Further, the P-aro-CDPs adsorbent are reusable, and good performance over six adsorption–desorption cycles was demonstrated. Due to its off-the-beaten-path synthesis, low cost, excellent removal efficiency, and recyclability, P-aro-CDPs have great potential for use as an adsorbent in water-treatment applications.

Abstract: The roles played by four major functional groups (amine, carboxyl, azo, hydroxyl groups) in the biomass of castor seeds in adsorption of seven dyes were investigated. These functional groups in castor seeds were chemically modified individually to determine their contribution to the adsorption of ionic dyes. The dyes used were remazol red B, procino yellow, fast green FCF, brilliant cresyl blue, methylene blue, neutral red, red-141. It was found that hydroxyl group inhibited the adsorption of anionic dyes but it was major functional group in the adsorption of cationic dyes, hydroxyl group was important functional group in the adsorption of all seven dyes and the effect of methylation of amino group was not significant on the adsorption of seven dyes.

Adsorption is most commonly applied process for the removal of pollutants such as dyes and heavy metals ions from wastewater. The present work talks about preparing graphenic material attached sand grains called graphene sand composite (GSC) by using ordinary sugar as a carbon source. Physical morphology and chemical composition of GSC was examined by using (FTIR, SEM, EDAX and XRD). Efficiency of GSC in the adsorption of organic dyes from water was investigated using reactive green dye with different parameters such as (ph, temperature, contact time and dose). Adsorption isotherm was also studied and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of dye is 28.98 mg/g. This fast, low-cost process can be used to manufacture commercial filters to treat contaminated water using appropriate engineering designs.

Background: Color effluents generated from the production industry of dyes and pigments and their use in different applications such as textile, paper, leather tanning, and food industries, are high in color and contaminants that damage the aquatic life. It is estimated that about 105 of various commercial dyes and pigments amounted to 7×105 tons are produced annually worldwide. Ultimately, about 10–15% is wasted into the effluents of the textile industry. Chitin is abundant in nature, and it is a linear biopolymer containing acetamido and hydroxyl groups amenable to render it atmospheric by introducing amino and carboxyl groups, hence able to remove different classes of toxic organic dyes from colored effluents. Methods: Chitin was chemically modified to render it amphoteric via the introduction of carboxyl and amino groups. The amphoteric chitin has been fully characterized by FTIR, TGA-DTG, elemental analysis, SEM, and point of zero charge. Adsorption optimization for both anionic and cationic dyes was made by batch adsorption method, and the conditions obtained were used for studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption. Results: The results of dye removal proved that the adsorbent was proven effective in removing both anionic and cationic dyes (Acid Red 1 and methylene blue (MB)), at their respective optimum pHs (2 for acid and 8 for cationic dye). The equilibrium isotherm at room temperature fitted the Freundlich model for MB, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 98.2 mg/g using 50 mg/l of MB, whereas the equilibrium isotherm fitted the Freundlich and Langmuir model for AR1 and the maximum adsorption capacity was 128.2 mg/g. Kinetic results indicate that the adsorption is a two-step diffusion process for both dyes as indicated by the values of the initial adsorption factor (Ri) and follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics. Also, thermodynamic calculations suggest that the adsorption of AR1 on the amphoteric chitin is an endothermic process from 294 to 303 K. The result indicated that the mechanism of adsorption is chemisorption via an ion-exchange process. Also, recycling of the adsorbent was easy, and its reuse for dye removal was effective. Conclusion: New amphoteric chitin has been successfully synthesized and characterized. This resin material, which contains amino and carboxyl groups, is novel as such chemical modification of chitin hasn’t been reported. The amphoteric chitin has proven effective in decolorizing aqueous solution from anionic and cationic dyes. The adsorption behavior of amphoteric chitin is believed to follow chemical adsorption with an ion-exchange process. The recycling process for few cycles indicated that the loaded adsorbent could be regenerated by simple treatment and retested for removing anionic and cationic dyes without any loss in the adsorbability. Therefore, the study introduces a new and easy approach for the development of amphoteric adsorbent for application in the removal of different dyes from aqueous solutions.

AbstractA chemical modification of cotton fabrics by 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride (DEAE-Cl) was achieved, and the resulted cotton fabrics demonstrated salt-free dyeing properties with anionic dyes. Nucleophilic property of hydroxyl groups in cotton cellulose was enhanced under alkaline conditions and could react with DEAE-Cl, a chemical possessing both nucleophilic and electrophilic sites. The monolayered DEAE-grafted cotton cellulose could further react with DEAE-Cl to form multiple cationic quaternary ammonium salts (denoted as DEAE@Cotton), which are highly interactive with anionic dye molecules. The strong electrostatic interactions between the DEAE@Cotton and the dyes eliminated the use of inorganic salts in cotton dyeing process. The chemical structure and property of DEAE@Cotton were characterized and compared with untreated cotton. The DEAE@Cotton can be dyed in a salt-free system, and the dye exhaustion was faster than the conventional dyeing method due to the robust electrostatic interactions of the fabrics with anionic dyes. The dyed fabrics demonstrated outstanding color fastness under repeated washing, light exposure, and crocking. The dye adsorption process on DEAE@Cotton follows Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9667). The mechanism of enhanced dyeability was experimentally proved by treating the fabric with other anionic dyes in a salt-free system, proving the process to be environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
