The paper investigates the possibility of removing acid dye from the aqueous solution by an adsorption process on new adsorbent prepared from waste cotton textile from the ready-made garment industry. It is a waste generated during the cutting of the layers of cotton knitwear, which is practically the product from the textile cutting process. The obtained adsorbent is a bulk material with heterogeneous porous particles, of ragged shapes. In particle interiors, there are pronounced cracks, cavities and channels that form the basis of microporous material. The qualitative and quantitative characterization of the obtained adsorbent shows that this is a relatively porous material where the carbon is dominant in the chemical composition. The results of textural properties of new adsorbent from cotton knitwear waste show different parameters which with their numerous values characterize the specific surface area, pore volume or pore diameter. It can be said that the obtained new adsorbent has micropores and small mesopores, which produce a high specific surface area. During adsorption, the longer contact time causes a greater amount of dye on the adsorbent, i.e. with the duration of the adsorption process the dye concentration in the solution decreases. A number of isotherms of two- (Langmuir, Freundlich and Jovanovic), three- (Toth, Sips and Radke-Prausnitz), and four-parameter models (Fritz-Schlunder and Marczewski-Jaroniec) were used to describe the adsorption process. The four-parameter isotherms are best covered by experimental points and most accurately describe the events of adsorption of acid dye on the surface and in the interior of the new adsorbent particles obtained from ready–made garment cotton waste. The results of this research suggest the possibility of practical application in the decolorization of the colored waste waters of the textile industry providing a contribution to protecting the environment from both an economic and a practical point of view.

Chemically activated biochars prepared from sorghum distillers grain using two base activators (NaOH and KOH) were investigated for their adsorption properties with respect to ammonium nitrogen from aqueous solution. Detailed characterizations, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), and specific surface area analyses, were carried out to offer a broad evaluation of the prepared biochars. The results showed that the NaOH- and KOH-activated biochars exhibited significantly enhanced adsorption capacity, by 2.93 and 4.74 times, respectively, in comparison with the pristine biochar. Although the NaOH-activated biochar possessed larger specific surface area (132.8 and 117.7 m2/g for the NaOH- and KOH-activated biochars, respectively), the KOH-activated biochar had higher adsorption capacity owing to its much higher content of functional groups. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the KOH-activated biochar at different temperatures were further studied. The biochar had a maximum adsorption capacity of 14.34 mg/g at 45 °C, which was satisfactory compared with other biochars prepared using different feedstocks. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and chemical adsorption was the rate-controlling step. The equilibrium data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm, and the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Consequently, this work demonstrates that chemically activated biochar from sorghum distillers grain is effective for ammonium nitrogen removal.

Natural bentonite clay from the Bogovina locality in Serbia was Na-exchanged and modified using hexadecyll-trimethylammonium bromide as surfactant and organobentonite was obtained. The influence of modifications on the structural, textural and sorption properties of bentonite was investigated. It was estimated that modifications solely replace exchangeable cations in smectite layers, whereas other admixture minerals (quartz, calcite, feldspar) in bentonite remain unaffected. According to X-ray results the modification lead to changes in the smectite structure by either decreasing, for Na-bentonite, or increasing, for organobentonite, the interplanar spacing, JQOI- The appearance of three new bands in IR spectra of HDTMA-bentonite comparing to those of raw and Na-bentonite assigned to the methylene vibrations confirmed the embedding of aliphatic cations into smectite structure. In organobentonite a significant change in textural properties was observed. In particular, specific surface area dramatically decreased while originally meso and microporous material became almost completely non-porous. Despite almost insignificant specific surface area the synthesized organobentonite due to gained organophyllity of its surface exhibits exquisite adsorption properties toward investigated textile dyes having adsorption capacity approx. 2 times higher than activated carbon.

AbstractKaolinite-ferrihydrite and montmorillonite-ferrihydrite associations were prepared following a procedure based on the Russell method for the synthesis of ferrihydrite and the texture of the clay-ferrihydrite complexes was studied using different techniques. The textural properties of kaolinite were little affected by the Fe association, showing only a slight increase in the specific surface area measured by nitrogen adsorption and a decrease in the largest pores (>10 µm), as measured by mercury porosimetry. In contrast, the nitrogen specific surface area of the montmorillonite complexes was much higher than that of the clay without Fe and the pore structure depended on the amounts of Fe in the complexes. Application of the fractal approach to nitrogen adsorption data indicated that the surface roughness (microporosity) was greater for the complexes prepared from diluted Fe(III) solutions, in agreement with the information obtained from classical interpretation of the adsorption isotherms (shape of the isotherms and t-plots).

Waste scrap tyres were thermally decomposed at the temperature of 600 °C and heating rate of 10 °C·min−1. Decomposition was followed by the TG analysis. The resulting pyrolytic carbon black was chemically activated by a KOH solution at 800 °C. Activated and non-activated carbon black were investigated using high pressure thermogravimetry, where adsorption isotherms of N2, CO2, and cyclohexane were determined. Isotherms were determined over a wide range of pressure, 0.03–4.5 MPa for N2 and 0.03–2 MPa for CO2. In non-activated carbon black, for the same pressure and temperature, a five times greater gas uptake of CO2 than N2 was determined. Contrary to non-activated carbon black, activated carbon black showed improved textural properties with a well-developed irregular mesoporous-macroporous structure with a significant amount of micropores. The sorption capacity of pyrolytic carbon black was also increased by activation. The uptake of CO2 was three times and for cyclohexane ten times higher in activated carbon black than in the non-activated one. Specific surface areas evaluated from linearized forms of Langmuir isotherm and the BET isotherm revealed that for both methods, the values are comparable for non-activated carbon black measured by CO2 and for activated carbon black measured by cyclohexane. It was found out that the N2 sorption capacity of carbon black depends only on its specific surface area size, contrary to CO2 sorption capacity, which is affected by both the size of specific surface area and the nature of carbon black.

Abstract This work provides an idea for efficient and harmless utilization of lignin and further evaluated the textural properties of lignin-derived activated carbon/specific capacitance relationship. The yield of cellulose-doped apricot shell lignin (ASLC) was 30.42%. H3PO4/KOH was used to assist the preparation of ASLC-derived activated carbon (AAC) for capacitors. The specific surface areas of the as-obtained AAC-P-3 and AAC-K-2 were 1475.16 m2/g and 2136.56 m2/g, respectively. The specific capacitances of AAC-P-3 and AAC-K-2 were 169.14 F/g and 236.00 F/g, respectively, upon the current density of 0.50 A/g. In capacitors containing aqueous KOH as the electrolyte, the AR2 (0.983) between specific surface area and specific capacitance was highest, followed by the AR2 (0.978) between Vmicro/Vmeso and specific capacitance, the AR2 (0.975) between pore-wall thickness and specific capacitance. Consequently, the specific capacitances of the AACs depend not only the specific surface area, but also on the Vmicro/Vmeso, pore-wall thickness, and Vmicro.

The morphology of ZSM-5 zeolite impacts the adsorption, separation and diffusion of molecules. The morphology and textural properties of ZSM-5 zeolites were adjusted by regulating the content of ethanol in the synthesis gel. When the ratio of ethanol/SiO2 was lower than 2, the obtained crystals were isolated particles. With higher ethanol concentration, the chainlike zeolite was generated due to the condensation of terminal Si-OH groups. The crystals stacked more and more compactly with the increase in ethanol concentration, resulting in decreased specific surface area, total volume and mesoporous volume. The crystal size increased gradually with the increase in the ethanol concentration. Moreover, some other small molecular alcohols could also induce the formation of chainlike morphology of ZSM-5.

Photocatalytic Efficiency

Silica gel supported titanium dioxide photocatalysts were prepared by sintering TiO2/SiO2 mixtures under variations of TiO2 content, calcination temperature and calcination time. The method allowed to obtain catalyst samples, which can be used in aqueous suspension and which were found to be easily separated by decantation after the photocatalytic treatment. The photocatalytic efficiency of the catalysts was tested by carrying out the photooxidation of the textile dye Acid Red 88 (AR88) in aqueous solution, used as “model” water pollutant. The obtained photoefficiency results were correlated to catalyst physicochemical characteristics, as determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis, X-ray diffraction, specific surface area (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). No positive correlation has been observed between titanium dioxide content and photocatalytic efficiency. The decrease of photocatalytic activity at high calcination temperature (1000 °C) is attributed to the phase transition anatase/rutile as well as to the decreasing specific surface area. According to SEM analysis, no significant fixation of TiO2 on silica is observed for catalysts prepared at low temperature (400 °C). The observed photocatalytic activity is consequently due to free TiO2 particles. The best efficiency is observed for photocatalyst prepared at 800 °C and containing around fifty percent titanium dioxide.

Main Material

By using tetrabutyl titanate as the main material, TiO2 nanoparticles / CNTs composite particles have been prepared in acidic abundant aqueous solution at low temperature without calcination. The microstructure of the composite particles, including surface morphology, phase composition and specific surface area was characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman, XPS and BET. The results reveal that TiO2 nanoparticles coated uniformly on CNTs surfaces were mainly anatase type. The surface roughness of CNTs was remarkably increased after coating. However, the specific surface area of composite particles decreased by 23.4 m2•g-1 than that of CNTs with uncoated TiO2. Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles / CNTs composite particles shows a significant increase of absorption intensity both in ultraviolet band and visible light band according to UV-vis spectra.
