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.

The potential of white potato peel powder for the removal of methyl red (MR) dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. Batch adsorption studies were conducted and various parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, pH and temperature were studied to observe their effects in the dye adsorption process. The optimum conditions for the adsorption of MR onto the adsorbent (WPPP) was found to be contact (80 mins), pH (2) and temperature (303K) for an initial MR dye concentration of 50mg/l and adsorbent dose of 1.0g. The experimental equilibrium adsorption data of the (MR) dye fitted best and well to the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 30.48mg/g for the adsorption of MR. The kinetic data conforms to the pseudo – second order kinetic model.

Abstract Undoped and Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals encapsulated with thioglycolic acid were synthetized and characterized with different techniques, and finally tested in the photodegradation of a methyl orange in aqueous solution under UV and sunlight irradiations. FTIR and X-ray diffraction results confirmed the functionalization of these nanocrystals surface by thioglycolic acid and the formation of crystalline structures of ZnS and Mn-doped ZnS with cubic and hexagonal phases. Calculated average size of ZnS nanocrystals was in the range of 2 - 3 nm. It was observed a blue shift of the absorbance threshold and the estimated bandgap energies were higher than that of Bulk ZnS thus confirming the quantum confinement effect of charge carriers. Photoluminescence spectra of ZnS nanocrystals exhibited emission in the range of 410- 490 nm and the appearance of an additional emission band around 580 nm (2.13eV) connected to the 4𝑇1→ 6𝐴1 transition of the Mn2+ions. Photodegradation of methylene orange with undoped and Mn-doped ZnS-TGA nanocrystals was investigated. Dye adsorption prior to photocatalysis using nanocrystals was studied via kinetic experiments and statistical physics models. The maximum dye adsorption capacity on doped ZnS-TGA was ~ 26.98 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.According to the statistical physics results, the calculated adsorption energy was 22.47-23.47 kJ/mol and it showed that the dye adsorption was associated to the hydrogen interaction where the removal process was feasible and multi-molecular. The photocatalytic activity of undoped ZnS nanoparticles under UV irradiation showed better efficiency than doped nanocrystals thus indicating that manganese doping generated a dropping of the photocatalytic degradation of the dye. Dye degradation efficiency of 81.37% using ZnS-TGA nanocrystals was achieved after 6 min, which indicated that ZnMnS-TGA nanocrystals may be considered as an alternative low cost and environmental friendly material for facing water pollution caused by organic compounds via photodegradation processes.

Acid dye effluents are among the popular threatening sources to the environment and human health due to their photochemical stability, complexity, and poor biodegradability. Therefore, this study aims to prepare chitosan/hyperbranched polyester (HBPE)/cobalt composite with ratio (1:1:0.5 wt %, respectively) using emulsion technique as an adsorbent to deal with the acid dye effluent. Chemical structure, morphology, particle size analysis, and thermal stability of the prepared composite were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM),) dynamic light scattering technique (DLS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Adsorption isotherms of acid blue 277 dye (AB277), using the different isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, D-R, and Temkin) under removal conditions at pH 3.0 and contact time of 1 h in 10 mL aqueous medium at 25ᴼC, were investigated. The results illustrated that the chitosan/HBPE/Co composite was successfully prepared with a particle size of around 679±494 nm relative to chitosan/HBPE (139±67.6 nm). Also, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted better than the pseudo-first-order one for adsorption of AB277. Batch equilibrium studies showed that chitosan/HBPE/Co composite could be employed as an efficient adsorbent of AB277 dye with an adsorption capacity of 26.74 mg/g, relative to that of chitosan/HBPE (3.19 mg/g).
