In this study, the wastes from cassava (CAW) and peach palm (PPW) agro-industries were investigated as potential low-cost biosorbents for removing the tartrazine yellow dye (TAR). The by-products were prepared by washing and drying steps and characterized into physicochemical parameters and microstructure. The effects of contact time, pH, dosage and dye concentration were analyzed for the biosorbents in comparison to commercial activated carbon (AC). The biosorbents were applied to the treatment of an effluent from a juice industry containing TAR. Cellulose was the main component of the biosorbents (31.47–51.20 g 100     g-1), which was correlated to the functional groups identified by ATR-FTIR spectra and the materials had a porous surface. The zero point of charge was 3.75 for PPW and 4.60 for CAW. The pH parameter had a significant effect on the adsorption process, with the maximum values of adsorption being reached at pH 2.0, with removal of 94.7% for PPW, 74.4% for CAW and 97.7% for AC, at the dosage of 7.5 g L-1 at 25.0 ºC. The adsorption of TAR was fast in the early stages, and at 120 min the three adsorbents reached the equilibrium. Isotherms of adsorption showed that Langmuir’s and Freundlich’s models fitted the best to the CAW and PPW experimental data, respectively. The wastes evaluated in this work can be an interesting alternative to TAR adsorption in the industrial effluent without being subjected to chemical treatments.

The capacity of natural Na-montmorillonite and activated charcoal for sorption of diazepam from simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) was studied. The main characteristics of the sorbents were determined. In order to characterize the sorption process of diazepam the influence of the pH, contact time and ethanol presence in SIF was analyzed. Adsorption isotherms for the diazepam-activated charcoal and diazepam-natural Na-montmorillonite systems were determined. The Langmuir isotherm model provided a very good description of diazepam sorption. Furthermore, the pH-drift method was used to determine the specific pH at zero point of charge (pHzpc) of the sorbents. The obtained results show that the internal structure of the sorbents and pH of the SIF solutions are very important for diazepam sorption. Both the surface of the activated charcoal and natural Na-montmorillonite are positively charged below the pHzpc so the sorption of diazepam is higher below this point and occur by van der Waals forces. The presence of ethanol in simulated intestinal fluid lowers the adsorption of diazepam on both sorbents.

Neste trabalho a casca de mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) foi empregada como adsorvente para a remoção do corante têxtil turquesa remazol a partir de efluentes aquosos. O adsorvente foi caracterizado por espectroscopia vibracional na região do infravermelho e pH no ponto zero de carga (pHZPC). Os grupamentos superficiais do adsorvente foram compatíveis com os de demais materiais lignocelulósicos e o valor estimado para o pHZPC foi 6,0. Foram determinados o tempo de contato (240 min) e o efeito do pH na adsorção, sugerindo um mecanismo eletrostático predominante para remoção do corante, já que pH ácidos favoreceram à adsorção. Os dados cinéticos foram modelados segundo Lagergren, Ho e Avrami, sendo que este último explicou melhor os dados experimentais. A quantidade máxima adsorvida encontrada para as condições otimizadas de adsorção (pH 2,0, te = 240 min e T = 25 oC) foi 30 mg.g-1. Os resultados experimentais foram modelados pelas equações de Freundlich, Langmuir, Sips e Tóth. Os parâmetros: coeficiente de determinação e qui-quadrado mostraram que modelos de Langmuir, Sips e Tóth são os que melhor explicam os resultados. Os dados experimentais indicam que a casca de mandioca pode perfeitamente ser utilizada como adsorvente para a remoção de corantes têxteis em efluentes industriais.Palavras-chave: Casca de mandioca.

The adsorbent was characterized by vibrational infrared spectroscopy and pH at zero point of charge (pHZPC). The surface functional groups were consistent with those of other lignocellulosic materials and the estimated pHZPC value was 6.0. The contact time (240 min) and the effect of the pH on the adsorption were determinate, and both suggest an electrostatic predominant  mechanism to remove the dye, due the adsorption has been favored by acidic pH. The kinetic data were modeled according to Lagergren, Ho and Avrami, and among them, the latter was the best fitted with the experimental data. The maximum adsorbed amount found under optimized conditions (pH 2.0, te = 240 min and T = 25 oC) was 30 mg g-1. The experimental results were modeled by Freundlich, Langmuir, Sips and Tóth equations. The determination coefficient and chi-square parameters showed that the the best models that fitted to the experimental data were Langmuir, Sips and Tóth. Experimental data show that the peel cassava can perfectly be used as adsorbent for removal of textile dyes from industrial effluents.Keywords: Cassava peel. Bioadsorbent Material.

The effects of magnesium, barium, aluminium, and ferric cations as multivalent ions on the coagulation and electrokinetic behaviours of colemanite have been investigated in relation to pH and cation concentration. The zero point of charge for colemanite was determined to be at pH 10.2. The positive surface charge of colemanite increased in the presence of multivalent ions at pH values below the zero point of charge. Also, these ions changed the zeta potential of colemanite from negative to positive within the pH range 10.2 to 12. In the experiments, the coagulation of colemanite with ferric ions was more efficient than with the other ions and the effect of ferric ions varied considerably depending on the concentration and pH. The coagulation recovery values of colemanite suspension increased quickly up to 2.5 × 10–3 M concentration of ferric ions and the maximum value (~93 %) was obtained at a pH of 11.5. It was also found that the coagulation behaviour of the colemanite suspension in the presence of multivalent cations was in good agreement with the electrokinetic characteristics.

Fulvic acid-modified vermiculite (FA-Ver) was prepared by mixing vermiculite and fulvic acid in a suspension. The XRD patterns showed that the vermiculite in FA-Ver possesses an irregular stacking of layers supported and non-supported by fulvic acid particles. The specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH at zero point of charge (pHZPC), and surface charge at pH 6.0 of FA-Ver was 379.35 m2/g, 52.17 cmol/kg, pH 2.36, and -0.442 mmol/g, respectively. The SSA, CEC and surface negative charge of FA-Ver increased and the pHZPC decreased compared to the corresponding values of vermiculite. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms fitted the adsorption data for Pb(II) by HA-vermiculite well (R2=0.988 and 0.982, respectively). The Freundlich correlation coefficient of vermiculite was low (R2=0.954) and that of FA-Ver was slightly higher (R2=0.980). At pH 6.0, the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities for Pb(II) of vermiculite and FA-Ver were 11.86 and 19.41 mg/g, respectively.

Acid-activated vermiculite (AAV) was prepared by treating raw vermiculite (RV) at 80°C with HCl solution. The surface properties and Pb(II) adsorption characteristics of RV and AAV were studied. The specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH at zero point of charge (pHZPC), and surface charge at pH 5.8 of AAV were 287.62 m2/g, 24.85 cmol/kg, pH 3.06, and -0.361 mmol/g, respectively. Compared to RV, the SSA, CEC and surface charge of AAV increased, but the value of pHZPC decreased. At pH 5.8, the maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) for Pb(II) of RV and AAV were 10.72 and 18.53 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for Pb(II) by RV and AAV could be well fitted using Langmuir isotherm (R2 =0.990 and 0.995, respectively)
