Studies on batch adsorptive removal of cadmium and nickel from synthetic waste water using silty clay originated from Balochistan–Pakistan

The potentials of silty clay(SC), acquired from Chaman, Balochistan, were investigated as adsorbent for Ni(Ⅱ)and Cd(Ⅱ) removal from contaminated media. The influence of different operating factors like dose, pH, temperature, and time of contact was explored, and optimum values were noted under batch adsorption method. Isothermal study was conducted with varying concentrations of solutions on optimized conditions and different adsorption models i.e., Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich(D–R) isotherm, which were employed to interpret the process. The isothermal data of both Ni(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) were well fitted to Langmuir isotherm suggesting the formation of monolayer of metal ions on silty clay. The values of adsorption capacity noted for Ni(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) were 3.603 mg·g~(-1) and 5.480 mg·g~(-)1, respectively. Kinetic studies affirmed that pseudo second order(PSO) kinetics was being obeyed by the removal of Ni(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ). Thermodynamic variables like free energy change(ΔG°), enthalpy change(ΔH°) and entropy change(ΔS°) were calculated. The negative value of ΔG° and the positive values of ΔH° and ΔS° unfolded that the removal process of both metal ions of by SC was spontaneous, endothermic and feasible.     

ZL50活性炭吸附脱除二氧化硫的吸附动力学模型(英文)

A semi-empirical adsorption kinetic model was proposed with the time compensation method to describe the chemisorption of SO2 in flue gas by carbon adsorbents for flue gas purification. The change in adsorption capacity and adsorption rate with time at different water vapor concentrations and different SO2 concentrations was studied. The model was in good agreement with experimental data. The surface reaction was probably the rate controlling step in the early stage for SO2 adsorption by ZL50 activated carbon. The parameters m and n in the nth order adsorption kinetic model were related to the magnitude of the time compensation and adsorption driving force, respectively. The change of parameter n with water vapor concentrations and sulfur dioxide concentrations was studied and some physical implications were given. The sum of square errors was less than 1.0 and the average absolute percentage deviations ranged from 0.5 to 3.2. The kinetic model was compared with other models in the literature.     

Influence of monovalent alkaline metal cations on binder-free nano-zeolite X in para-xylene separation

The adsorption process was studied for separating para-xylene from xylene mixture on modified nano-zeolite X in a breakthrough system. Nano-zeolitic adsorbent with different ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 was synthesized through hydrothermal process and ion-exchanged with alkaline metal cations like lithium, sodium and potassium. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption, transform electron microscopy (TEM) and in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The influence of nano-zeolite water content and desorbent type on the selectivity of para-xylene toward other C8 aromatic isomers was studied. The optimization of adsorption process was also investigated under variable operation conditions. The isotherm for each isomer of C8 aromatics and the desorbents possess the adsorption characteristics of Langmuir type. The selectivity factor of para-xylene relative to each of meta-xylene, ortho-xylene and ethylben-zene under the optimum conditions obtained to be 5.36, 2.43 and 3.22, in the order given.     

Adsorption removal of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol from wastewater by metal–organic framework Cr-BDC

In the present paper, a metal–organic framework Cr-BDC was prepared and used as adsorbent for adsorption of o-nitrophenol(ONP) and p-nitrophenol(PNP) from aqueous solutions. Cr-BDC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and BET methods. The results indicate that Cr-BDC gets a very large specific surface area of 4128 m~2·g~(-1)and pore sizes are concentrated in 1 nm, which is a benefit for using for wastewater treatment. The influences of the adsorption conditions, such as temperature,solution concentration, adsorption time and reusability on adsorption performance were investigated. Cr-BDC exhibited an encouraging uptake capacity of 310.0 mg·g~(-1)for ONP, and adsorption capacity of Cr-BDC for ONP is significantly higher than that for PNP under suitable adsorption conditions. The characterizations of adsorption process were examined with the Lagergren pseudo-first-order, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the intra-particular diffusion model. Kinetics experiments indicated that the pseudo-second-order model displayed the best correlation with adsorption kinetics data. Furthermore, our adsorption equilibrium data could be better described by the Freundlich equation. The results indicate that the as-prepared Cr-BDC is promising for use as an effective and economical adsorbent for ONP removal.

Lysozyme adsorption to cation exchanger derivatized by sequential modification of poly(ethylenimine)-Sepharose with succinic anhydride and ethanolamine: Effect of pH and ionic strength

In our previous work, a series of polyethylenimine(PEI)-derived cation exchangers were synthesized using PEIgrafted resin FF-PEI-L740(ionic capacity, 740 mmol·L~(-1)) as the basic resin to study lysozyme adsorption and chromatographic behavior. It was found that the resin with an ionic capacity of 630 mmol·L~(-1)(FF-PEI-CR630)possessed high adsorption performance towards lysozyme at 0–100 mmol·L~(-1) Na Cl. Therefore, in this work,FF-PEI-CR630 was selected to study the influences of pH and ionic strength(IS) on protein adsorption and chromatographic behavior towards lysozyme. The increase of lysozyme adsorption capacity in the pH range of 6 to 10 was observed. However, the uptake rate decreased in the pH range of 6 to 8 and then remained essentially unchanged from pH 8 to pH 10. Increasing IS led to decreased protein adsorption capacity and increased uptake rate in different pH ranges. Besides, FF-PEI-CR630 maintained dynamic binding capacity as high as over150 mg·ml~(-1) at pH 8–10 without NaCl. The research has thus provided insight into the selection of proper pH and IS conditions for protein purification by using FF-PEI-CR630.     

Synthesis of Chelating Resin PETU and Its Adsorption to Ag(I)

A novel chelating resin (PETU) with thiourea groups in its main chain was synthesized by the reaction of O,O'-butane-1,4-diyl dicarbonisothiocyanatidate and triethylene tetraamine. The adsorption of Ag(I) on PETU was investigated by batch tests. The results showed that adsorption data fitted Boyd's diffusion equation of liquid film and the adsorption was controlled by liquid film diffusion. Under the temperatures between 15~60℃, the adsorption capacity decreased with the increase of temperature, and increased with the increase of initial concentration of Ag(I). The experimental data fitted Langmuir and Freundlich equations, and the correlation coefficients for Langmuir equation were between 0.9965~0.9998, and those for Freundlich equation were between 0.8211~0.9810, and increased with the adsorption temperature. DH, DG and DS calculated by thermodynamic formulae were all negative, which meant that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous, and the entropy decreased during the process. XPS results showed that N, S and O atoms were the electron donors to coordinate with Ag.

Adsorption of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid/sulfuric acid/sulfurous acid from aqueous solution by iron-impregnated weakly basic resin:Equilibrium and model

Commercial grade weakly basic resin D301 was impregnated with iron through a simple method using ferric chloride. Experiments for single, bisolute and trinary competitive adsorption were carried out to investigate the adsorption behavior of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (NSA), sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid from their solution at 298K onto the novel hybrid iron impregnated D301(Fe-D301). Adsorption affinity of NSA on Fe-D301 was found to be much higher than that of sulfuric acid, while adsorption affinity of sulfuric acid was slightly higher than that of sulfurous acid. The data of single-solute adsorption were fitted to the Langmuir model and the Freundlich adsorption model. The non-ideal competitive adsorbed model coupled with the single-solute adsorp-tion models were used to predict the bisolute and trinary-solute competitive adsorption equilibria. The NICM coupled with the Langmuir model yields the favorable representation of the bisolute and trinary-solute compet-itive adsorption behavior.     

Column breakthrough studies for the removal and recovery of phosphate by lime-iron sludge: Modeling and optimization using artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

Increases in the treatment of water to meet the growing water demand ultimately result in unmanageable quantities of residuals, the handling, and disposal of which is a major environmental issue. Consequently, research into beneficial reuse of water treatment residuals continues unabated. This study investigated the applicability of lime-iron sludge for phosphate adsorption by fixed-bed column adsorption. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted at varying flow rates and bed depths. Fundamental and empirical models(Thomas, Yan,Bohart-Adams, Yoon-Nelson, and Wolboroska) as well as artificial intelligence techniques(Artificial neural network(ANN) and Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)) were used to simulate experimental breakthrough curves and predict column dynamics. Increase in flow rate resulted in reduced adsorption capacity.However, adsorption capacity was not affected by bed depth. ANN was superior in predicting breakthrough curves and predicted breakthrough times with high accuracy(R~20.9962). Na OH(0.5 mol·L~(-1)) was successfully used to regenerate the adsorption bed. After nine cyclic adsorption/desorption runs, only a marginal decrease in adsorption and desorption efficiencies of 10% and 8% respectively was observed. The same regenerate Na OH solution was reused for all desorption cycles. After nine cycles the eluent desorbed a total of 1550 mg phosphate exhibiting potential for further reuse.

Sorption of acid dyes onto GLA and H2SO4 cross-linked chitosan beads

The feasibility of chitosan and cross-linked chitosan beads as efficient adsorbents for the removal of Acid Blue 25 (AB 25) and Acid Red 37 (AR 37) from aqueous solution was studied by using batch adsorption techniques. Glutaraldehyde (GLA) and sulphuric acid were employed as cross-linking reagents. The effect of process parameters like pH, agitation period, agitation rate and concentrations of dyes on the extent of AR 37 and AB 25 adsorption by chitosan and cross-linked chitosan beads was investigated. The best interpretation for the equilibrium data was given by the Langmuir isotherm, while the pseudo-second-order kinetic model could best describe the adsorption of these acid dyes. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change (ΔH°), free energy change (ΔG°) and entropy change (ΔS°) were estimated and adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. The desorbed chitosan, chitosan-GLA and chitosan-H₂SO₄ beads can be reused to adsorb the acid dyes. Results also showed that chitosan, chitosan-GLA and chitosan-H₂SO₄ beads were favourable adsorbers.     

STUDIES ON THE ADSORPTION OF FURFURAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION ONTO LOW-COST BAGASSE FLY ASH

The present study deals with the sorptive removal of furfural from aqueous solution by carbon-rich bagasse fly ash (BFA). Batch studies were performed to evaluate the influence of various experimental parameters, namely, initial pH (p H ₀), adsorbent dose, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature on the removal of furfural. Optimum conditions for furfural removal were found to be p H ₀ ≈ 5.5, adsorbent dose ≈4 g/L of solution, and equilibrium time ≈4 h. The adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The effective diffusion coefficient of furfural is of the order of 10^?13 m²/s. Equilibrium adsorption data on BFA was analyzed by Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubnin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson, and Temkin isotherm equations using regression and error analysis. The Redlich-Peterson isotherm was found to best represent the data for furfural adsorption onto BFA. Adsorption of furfural on BFA is favorably influenced by a decrease in the temperature of the operation. Values of the change in entropy (ΔS ⁰) and heat of adsorption (ΔH ⁰) for furfural adsorption on BFA were negative. The high negative value of change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG ⁰) indicates the feasible and spontaneous adsorption of furfural on BFA.     

ADSORPTION OF TOLUENE ON BENTONITES MODIFIED BY DODECYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM BROMIDE

The adsorption of toluene was studied by using various types of adsorbents (Na⁺- and Al³⁺-bentonite) modified by dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The characterization of these new sorbing matrices by XRD and IR indicates that DTAB tallow interacted with bentonite and increased the interlayer spacing of the clay with double-layered formation. Adsorption of toluene on modified bentonites was characterized by linear isotherms with no limitation of adsorption within the concentration range studied, thus indicating a mechanism of adsorption due to partition. Adsorption was fast and favored by a slightly acid medium. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, the Elovich equation, and intra-particle diffusion models were used to fit the experimental data. The adsorption kinetic of toluene was described by the pseudo-first order onto DTAB-Na-bent, and pseudo-second order onto DTAB-Al-bent. The intra-particle diffusion process was identified as the main mechanism controlling the rate of toluene adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy change (ΔG ⁰), the standard enthalpy change (ΔH ⁰), and the standard entropy (ΔS ⁰) were also evaluated. The variation of adsorption energy versus the types of adsorbent suggested a physical adsorption mechanism.     

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE ADSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE ONTO SULFURIC ACID–TREATED ORANGE PEEL

The present study explains the preparation and application of sulfuric acid–treated orange peel (STOP) as a new low-cost adsorbent in the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from its aqueous solution. The effects of temperature on the operating parameters such as solution pH, adsorbent dose, initial MB dye concentration, and contact time were investigated for the removal of MB dye using STOP. The maximum adsorption of MB dye onto STOP took place in the following experimental conditions: pH of 8.0, adsorbent dose of 0.4 g, contact time of 45 min, and temperature of 30°C. The adsorption equilibrium data were tested by applying both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. It is observed that the Freundlich isotherm model fitted better than the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating multilayer adsorption, at all studied temperatures. The adsorption kinetic results showed that the pseudo-second-order model was more suitable to explain the adsorption of MB dye onto STOP. The adsorption mechanism results showed that the adsorption process was controlled by both the internal and external diffusion of MB dye molecules. The values of free energy change (ΔG ^o) and enthalpy change (ΔH ^o) indicated the spontaneous, feasible, and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of STOP was also compared with other low-cost adsorbents, and it was found that STOP was a better adsorbent for MB dye removal.     

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles reinforced clay and their applications for removal of Pb (Ⅱ) ions from aqueous media

The aim of the study was to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) composite with clay by a novel route and then to explore the capability of composite of ZnONPs and silty clay (SC) as adsorbents for Pb (Ⅱ) eradication from aqueous media by batch adsorption method. The effect of different operating factors like temperature, pH, dose and time of contact on the adsorption process were studied to optimize the conditions. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin isotherms were applied for the interpretation of the process. The R2 and q values obtained from Langmuir model suggested that the process is best interpreted by this model. The values of adsorption capacity (qm) noted were 12.43 mg·g-1 and 14.54 mg·g-1 on SC and ZnONPs-SC respectively. The kinetic studies exposed that pseudo second order (PSO) kinetics is followed by the processes suggesting that more than one steps are involved to control the rate of reactions. Various thermodynamic variables such as change in free energy (ΔGΘ), change in enthalpy (ΔHΘ) and change in entropy (ΔSΘ) were calculated. Thermodynamic data suggested that Pb (Ⅱ) adsorption on SC and ZnONPs-SC are spontaneous, endothermic and feasible processes.     

Removal of Orange II by Phosphonium-modified Algerian Bentonites

An Algerian montmorillonite was modified with two organic surfactants, methyltriphenyl phosphonium bromide and n-hexyltriphenyl phosphonium bromide. The solids obtained were used as adsorbents to remove Orange II, an anionic dye from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of temperature (20–60°C), initial concentration of adsorbate (50–150 mg L^?1) and pH of solution 6.5 on dye adsorption. Due to their organophilic nature, exchanged montmorillonites were able to adsorb Orange II at a very high level. Adsorption of Orange II for B-NHTPB and B-MTPB at different pH show that the adsorption capacity clearly decreases with an increase in pH of the initial solution from 2 to 8, this decrease being dramatic for pH > 8. This may be due to hydrophobic interactions of the organic dye with both phosphonium molecules and the remaining non-covered portion of siloxane surface. The kinetics of the adsorption was discussed on the basis of three kinetic models, i.e., the pseudo-first-order, the pseudo-second-order, and the intraparticle diffusion models. Equilibrium is reached after 30 min and 60 min for B-MTPB and B-NHTPB, respectively; the pseudo-second-order kinetic model described very well the adsorption of Orange II on modified bentonites. The non-linear Langmuir model provided the best correlation of experimental data, maximum adsorption of Orange II is 53.78 mg g^?1 for B-NHTPB and 33.79 mg g^?1 for B-MTPB. The thermodynamic parameters, such as free energy of adsorption (ΔG°), enthalpy change (ΔH°), and entropy change (ΔS°) were also determined and evaluated. From thermodynamic studies, it was deduced that the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic.     

Resin-loaded cationic hydrogel: A new sorbent for recovering of grapefruit polyphenols

This paper presents a study of the recovering of polyphenols from grapefruit biowastes through extraction and batch adsorption process using novel resin-loaded cationic hydrogel. To prepare adsorbent, 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomer was polymerized by free radical mechanisms in presence of resin particles and then tertiary amino groups on PDMAEMA residue were quaternized using methyl iodide. The developed adsorbent was then characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, and Brunauer, Emmet, and Teller analysis. The resin-loaded cationic hydrogel displayed an enhanced affinity for binding with polyphenols at pH value of 10 due to the strong electrostatic attraction between positively charged adsorbent surface and solute molecules. The adsorption capacity of 60 (mg-naringin-g^?1-adsorbent) was obtained when the other experimental conditions were chosen as follows: initial polyphenol concentration; 0.13?g?mL^?1, contact time; 30?min, temperature; 25°C. On the other hand, the adsorbent consisting solely of resin particles shown lower affinity for polyphenols. The adsorption results revealed that the resin-loaded cationic hydrogels exhibited significant improvement in the recovery of polyphenols from grapefruit peels through integrated extraction–adsorption process.     

Removal of chromium (Ⅵ) from aqueous solutions using quaternized chitosan microspheres

In this study, quaternized chitosan microspheres(QCMS) were prepared and its Cr(VI) removal potential was investigated. Batch experiments were conducted to examine kinetics, adsorption isotherm, p H effect,and thermodynamic parameters. Equilibrium was attained within 50 min and maximum removal of 97.34%was achieved under the optimum conditions at p H 5. Adsorption data for Cr(VI) uptake by the QCMS were analyzed according to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption models. The maximum uptake of Cr(VI)was 39.1 mg·g~(-1). Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption system were determinated at 293 K, 303 K,313 K and 323 K.(ΔH° = 16.08 k J·mol~(-1);ΔG° =- 5.84 to- 8.08 k J·mol~(-1)and ΔS° = 74.81 J·K~(-1)·mol~(-1)).So the positive values of both ΔH° and ΔS° suggest an endothermic reaction and increase in randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption. ΔG° values obtained were negative indicating a spontaneous adsorption process. The kinetic process was described by a pseudo-second-order rate equation very well. The results of the present study indicated that the QCMS could be considered as a potential adsorbent for Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions.
