In the present study, we investigated the removal of an emerging pesticide lindane from aqueous solution using synthesized aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 (bayerite) nanomaterials with surface modification by an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The Al(OH)3 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and zeta potential. The lindane removal using SDS-modified nano-aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles (SMNAH) achieved removal of up to 93.68%, which was 3.3 times higher than that of nano-aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles. The adsorptive removal conditions were studied and found to have an adsorption time of 60 min, a pH of 6, an adsorbent dosage of 25 mg/mL and an ionic strength of 10 mM NaCl. After reusing four times, the removal efficiency of lindane using SMNAH still reached 75%. Two-step adsorption can fit adsorption isotherms of lindane onto SMNAH at two salt concentrations. On the basis of the change in zeta potential, surface functional groups and adsorption isotherms, we suggest that the formation of a bilayer micelle induced the removal of lindane.

The Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite was synthesized by the coprecipitation-ultrasonication method. The reaction was carried out under a inert gas environment. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques (VSM), the surface area of the nanoparticles was determined to be 77.92 m2/g by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The kinetic data showed that the adsorption process fitted with the pseudo-second order model. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics and mechanisms of Cr(VI) by Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite. The adsorption process was found to be highly pH-dependent, which made the material selectively adsorb these metals from aqueous solution. The isotherms of adsorption were also studied using Langmuir and Freundlich equations in linear forms. It is found that the Langmuir equation showed better linear correlation with the experimental data than the Freundlich. The thermodynamics of Cr(VI) adsorption onto the Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite indicated that the adsorption was exothermic. The reusability study has proven that Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite can be employed as a low-cost and easy to separate.

Polyacrylic acid/attapulgite (PAA/ATP) composite hydrogels used for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution was synthesized via radical polymerization with acrylic acid (AA) and attapulgite (ATP) modified by hydrochloric acid as adsorbent. Chemical composition of the modified ATP was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology of the PAA/ATP hydrogels was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The swelling ratio, pH-sensitivity and adsorption performance of Ni (II) ions of the composite hydrogels were studied. The results showed the swelling ratio of the PAA/ATP composite hydrogels was higher than that of PAA hydrogels and the composite hydrogels displayed sensitivity to pH values with a sharp increase of swelling ratio when the pH values increased from 4 to 6. Comparing with PAA hydrogels, the composite hydrogels obtained a larger adsorption capacity of Ni (II) ions, the average adsorption capacity could reach 72.8 mg/g and adsorption ratio could reach 84%.

We report the controlled synthesis of dumbbell shaped ZnO micro/nanostructures using anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) by simple one-step hydrothermal method. The morphology changes of ZnO were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. It is found that the size of the dumbbell increased with increase in concentration of SDS. Systematic growth mechanism with increase of concentration of SDS polymer is studied. Our results will help in the growing face selective ZnO for many functional applications.

In order to increase the magnetic fluids in target-based cancer treatment, the Cu2+has been studied in this study. The Fe3O4and Cu0.1Fe0.9O•Fe2O3magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by ultrasonic emulsion method, and then disperse them into water with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) as surfactants to make magnetic fluids. The cubic inverse spinel structure of Fe3O4and Cu0.1Fe0.9O•Fe2O3nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD).The saturation magnetization of Fe3O4and Cu0.1Fe0.9O•Fe2O3were 79.55 emu•g-1and 75.90 emu•g-1by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The morphologies of nanoparticles were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The particle size was uniform 10-20 nm, and their shape was approximately spherical. The Cu0.1Fe0.9O•Fe2O3magnetic particle functional group and the surface of particle coated with SDBS have been detected by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The magnetic fluids with a high saturation magnetization and stability have been prepared successfully in this study.

Removal of copper ion (Cu2+) by using surfactant modified laterite (SML) was investigated in the present study. Characterizations of laterite were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and total carbon analysis. The optimum conditions for removal of Cu2+ by adsorption using SML were systematically studied and found as pH 6, contact time 90 min, adsorbent dosage 5 mg/mL, and ionic strength 10 mM NaCl. The equilibrium concentration of copper ions was measured by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). Surface modification of laterite by anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) induced a significant increase of the removal efficiency of Cu2+. The surface modifications of laterite by preadsorption of SDS and sequential adsorption of Cu2+ were also evaluated by XRD and FT-IR. The adsorption of Cu2+ onto SML increases with increasing NaCl concentration from 1 to 10 mM, but at high salt concentration this trend is reversed because desorption of SDS from laterite surface was enhanced by increasing salt concentration. Experimental results of Cu2+/SML adsorption isotherms at different ionic strengths can be represented well by a two-step adsorption model. Based on adsorption isotherms, surface charge effects, and surface modification, we suggest that the adsorption mechanism of Cu2+ onto SML was induced by electrostatic attraction between Cu2+ and the negatively charged SML surface and nonelectrostatic interactions between Cu2+ and organic substances in the laterite.

In this study, calcium carbonate was used to coat and link the surface of diatomite for the formation of a novel modified adsorbent (referred to as Ca–diatomite). Various analytical techniques were used to characterize structure and mechanisms of modification and adsorption process, like Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed that that Calcium carbonate had been successful grafted onto the surface of diatomite after modification, and Calcium carbonate modification improved the adsorption performance of diatomite for the removal of lead (II) ions from aqueous solution. Ca–diatomite adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics were also been studied. The adsorption isotherms and the kinetic data were best fitted with the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, respectively.

Benzoyl and stearoyl acid grafted cellulose were synthesized by a simple chemical grafting method. Using these as chemical adsorbents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), like pyrene and phenanthrene, were effectively removed from aqueous solution. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized adsorbents were determined through X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), FE-SEM, and NMR analyses. Through this method, it was confirmed that benzoyl and stearoyl acid were successfully grafted onto the surface of cellulose. The 5 mg of stearoyl grafted cellulose (St–Cell) remove 96.94% pyrene and 97.61% phenanthrene as compared to unmodified cellulose, which adsorbed 1.46% pyrene and 2.99% phenanthrene from 0.08 ppm pyrene and 0.8 ppm phenanthrene aqueous solution, suggesting that those results show a very efficient adsorption performance as compared to the unmodified cellulose.

Abstract A new sawdust/magnetite nanoparticles/polyethyleneimine (SD/MNP/PEI) nanocomposite was synthesized by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) to magnetic sawdust. Features of SD/MNP/PEI were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SD/MNP/PEI was used as an adsorbent for the removal of lead (Pb (II)) from aqueous solution. The effects of independent variables including pH of solution, adsorbent dose and contact time were performed and adsorption isotherms were obtained. Experimental results show that priority effective variables were pH and the amount of nanocomposite, and it was found that the sorption capacity increases with the increasing phase contact time. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Although SD and SD/MNP do not show a high affinity for the adsorption of Pb (II) in aqueous media, polyethyleneimine cross-linked on SD/MNP showed 40 and 66% increases, respectively, in the adsorption of Pb (II) compared to the SD and SD/MNP. It was found that SD/MNP/PEI removes more efficiently lead ions from aqueous solutions than the SD, SD/MNP. Desorption of the lead from the SD/MNP/PEI was conducted. It was proved that SD/MNP/PEI has excellent properties and can be used as a sorbent of multi-use.
