Bediako JK, Apalangya V, Hodgson IOA, Anugwom I, Repo E. Adsorbents for water decontamination: A recycling alternative for fiber precursors and textile fiber wastes. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 919:171000. [PMID: 38365021 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
The exponential growth in textile fiber production and commensurate release of textile waste-based effluents into the environment has significant impacts on human wellbeing and the long-term planetary health. To abate these negative impacts and promote resource circularity, efforts are being made to recycle these waste materials via conversion into adsorbents for water decontamination. This review critically examines plant- and regenerated cellulose-based fibers for removing water pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceutical and petrochemical wastes. The review reveals that chemical modification reactions such as grafting, sulfonation, carboxymethylation, amination, amidoximation, xanthation, carbon activation, and surface coating are normally employed, and the adsorption mechanisms often involve Van der Waals attraction, electrostatic interaction, complexation, chelation, ion exchange, and precipitation. Furthermore, the adsorption processes and thus the adsorption mechanisms are influenced by factors such as surface properties of adsorbents, pollutant characteristics including composition, porosity/pore size distribution, specific surface area, hydrophobicity/hydrophobicity, and molecular interactions. Besides, feasibility of the approaches in terms of handling and reuse, environmental fate, and economic impact was evaluated, in addition to the performances of the adsorbents, the prospects, and challenges. As current cost analysis is non-exhaustive, it is recommended that researchers focus on extensive cost analysis to fully appreciate the true cost effectiveness of employing these waste materials. In addition, more attention must be paid to potential chemical leaching, post-adsorption handling, and disposal. Based on the review, fiber precursors and textile fiber wastes are viable alternative adsorbents for sustainable water treatment and environmental management, and government entities must leverage on these locally accessible materials to promote recyclability and circularity.

Rehman R, Hussain MS, Samin G, Jahangir MM, Dar A, Al-Thagafi ZT, Alsantali RI, Al-Abbad EA, Akram M. Effective application of citric acid treated Trapa natans and Citrullus lanatus lignocellulosic macromolecules for adsorptive remediation of acid Violet-7 dye. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128285. [PMID: 38007018 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
The peels of Trapa natans (TRA) and Citrullus lanatus (CIT), were modified with a variety of chemicals to boost their surface for the optimization of adsorption performance by providing a greater number of additional active binding sites. Citric acid-processed peels (TRAC and CITC) had shown more favorable adsorption performance to eradicate acid violet 7 dye (AVS). Extra and additional active sites generated after chemical processing, including hydroxyl (OH), carboxyl (COOH), amines NH2, carbonyl, and ester (-O-CO-) groups, as evidenced from FTIR and SEM characterizations, may boost the potential of physicochemical integration of adsorbent surface activity in order to promote and encourage the retention of hazardous and risky AVS molecules from the water. The Langmuir isotherm assessed the qmax for the adsorption of AVS on TRAC, CITC, TRA, and CIT to be 212.8, 294, 24.3, and 60.6 mg/g, respectively, whereas the correlation coefficients assessed for both TRAC and CITC were 0.98 and for TRA and CIT were 0.97, closer to unity reflecting monolayer physio-sorption. According to Temkin, the adsorption of AVS on TRAC, TRA, CITC, and CIT gives "BT" values of 1.275, 0.947, 1.085, and 1.211 mg/g, also suggesting physio-sorption. Therefore, chemically modified peels can be employed for detoxification of AVS.

Hazra I, Pandey MD, Rahman M. A probabilistic approach to the estimation of radioactive contaminant inventories at a nuclear waste disposal site. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY 2023; 259-260:107119.

Abstract
Routine site inspections are often conducted to gather data on radiation contamination on the surface and below ground near nuclear waste disposal areas. These observations are used to calculate total radiation inventory and its spatial delineation. The statistical kriging approach is often used to spatially interpolate contamination data, and it generates predictions at unsampled sites that are then utilized to calculate the contaminated site's radiation inventory. The kriging output, however, creates a point estimate of the inventory that omits the potential uncertainties from other sources. This paper presents a method for assessing the uncertainty of radiation inventories based on the geostatistical conditional simulation method - a simulation methodology that takes into account the observations made at the sampled sites. The radiation inventories' histograms are generated by conducting many conditional simulations of the projection map using a fitted kriging model. A practical implementation of the suggested approach is shown by evaluating total beta inventories and their spatial delineation using groundwater monitoring data at a nuclear waste disposal site.

Abstract
Water, an essential commodity available to mankind, is constantly under pollution threat. Industries are one of the major causative factors for its poor quality and therefore all organisms depending upon it, directly or indirectly are affected by various life-threatening problems. Thus, the treatment of discharge waste into the freshwater ecosystem is the dire need of the hour. The objective of the study is valorization of discarded snail shells for treatment of industrial wastewater. In the present study, industrial wastewater was treated using snail shell dust obtained from Bellamya bengalensis to assess change in water quality parameters. Various physico-chemical parameters like pH, total dissolved solids, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, chlorides, bicarbonates, orthophosphates, sulfates, nitrates, and ammonia-N were assessed after its treatment with snail shell dust. Based on the present observation, it was concluded that all studied parameters except dissolved oxygen showed a remarkable decline in concentration after treatment with snail shell dust at the rate of 15 g per liter at the end of 4 days. Moreover, increased dissolved oxygen concentration also endorsed an enhancement in water quality. Statistical analysis through Pearson correlation and indices, viz., WQI (Water quality index) as well as Nemerow's Pollution index when applied to the present data, also supported an improvement in the water quality. The findings thus endorsed the utilization of snail shell dust as an eco-friendly technique and can be substituted as a sustainable method for the treatment of industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Dye pollution has always been a serious concern globally, threatening the lives of humans and the ecosystem. In the current study, treated lignocellulosic biomass waste supported with FeCl3/Zn(NO3)2 was utilized as an effective composite for removing Reactive Orange 16 (RO16). SEM/EDAX, FTIR, and XRD analyses exhibited that the prepared material was successfully synthesized. The removal efficiency of 99.1% was found at an equilibrium time of 110 min and dye concentration of 5 mg L-1 Adsorbent mass of 30 mg resulted in the maximum dye elimination, and the efficiency of the process decreased by increasing the temperature from 25 to 40 °C. The effect of pH revealed that optimum pH was occurred at acidic media, having the maximum dye removal of greater than 90%. The kinetic and isotherm models revealed that RO16 elimination followed pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.9982) and Freundlich (R2 = 0.9758) assumptions. Surprisingly, the performance of modified sawdust was 15.5 times better than the raw sawdust for the dye removal. In conclusion, lignocellulosic sawdust-Fe/Zn composite is promising for dye removal.

Abstract
The development of new technologies for water and wastewater treatment is a growing need due to the occurrence of micropollutants, such as dyes, in water resources. In this sense, green-synthesized nanoparticles are being extensively studied, due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and high efficiency in adsorption processes. Thus, the present study reports the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NP), obtained from pomegranate (Punica granatum) leaf extract, employed for the removal of Safranin-O (SO) dye. CuO-NP was characterized by physicochemical analysis. These analyzes suggested that the redox process occurred efficiently. Also, the material presented interesting elements for the removal of cationic dyes such as negative surface charge, high specific surface area, and predominance of mesopores. The kinetic data fitted the pseudo-second-order model, reaching equilibrium in 480 min. The equilibrium study resulted in a maximum adsorption capacity of 189.54 mg g-1 at 298 K and the experimental data best fitted the Langmuir model. The effect of pH and ionic strength did not present significant changes, which demonstrates an advantage of this adsorbent over other materials. The regeneration study allowed to verify the possibility of reuse CuO-NP, since after 4 cycles the adsorption capacity was 44% of the initial value. Considering the results found, CuO-NP has a high potential for applicability in the treatment of water contaminated by dyes.

Abstract
The current study explores the effectiveness of coconut husk for crystal violet dye sequestration employing a batch experimental setup. Characterization of adsorbent was carried out via FTIR, and SEM techniques and results confirmed the involvement of -OMe, -COC- and hydroxyl functional groups in dye uptake, and the rough, porous nature of adsorbent and after adsorption dye molecules colonized these holes resulting in dye exclusion. Effects of various adsorption parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature of solution were studied. Crystal violet adsorption on coconut husk was highly pH-dependent, with maximum removal occurring at basic pH. Maximum removal of dye, i.e., 81%, takes place at optimized conditions. Kinetic data was analyzed by pseudo-first, pseudo-second order and an intra-particle diffusion model. Results showed that the pseudo-second order kinetic model best described adsorption of crystal violet onto coconut husk. Langmuir, Freundlich, and D-R adsorption isotherms were also used to test their appropriateness to experimental data and the Freundlich isotherm fits best to data. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the current process was spontaneous, endothermic in nature with continuous decrease in entropy. Established practice is 79% applicable to tap water and in acidic medium nearly 80% of adsorbent was recovered, confirming the effectiveness and appropriateness of coconut husk for crystal violet dye exclusion from wastewater.

Abstract
The presence of dangerous pollutants in different water sources has restricted the availability of this natural resource. Thus, the development of new low-cost and environmentally-friendly technologies is currently required to ensure access to clean water. Various approaches to the recovery of contaminated water have been considered, including the generation of biomaterials with adsorption capacity for dangerous compounds. Research on bioadsorbents has boomed in recent years, as they constitute one of the most sustainable options for water treatment thanks to their abundance and high cellulose content. Thanks to the vast amount of information published to date, the present review addresses the current status of different biosorbents and the principal processes and characterization methods involved, focusing on base biomaterials such as fruits and vegetables, grains and seeds, and herbage and forage. In comparison to other reviews, this work reports more than 60 adsorbents obtained from agricultural wastes. The removal efficiencies and/or maximum adsorption capacities for heavy metals, industrial contaminants, nutrients and pharmaceuticals are presented as well. In addition to the valuable information provided in the literature investigation, challenges and perspectives concerning the implementation of bioadsorbents are discussed in order to comprehensively guide selection of the most suitable biomaterials according to the target contaminant and the available biowastes.

Abstract
To adsorb rhodamine B (RhB) in wastewater by pristine biochar was limited, while the modified biochar has shown great potential adsorption performance. Here, coconut shell mixed with FeSO4·7H2O and urea was prepared to synthesize Fe-N co-modified biochar by once pyrolysis method at 500℃. The results showed Fe-N-BC had larger surface area (972.8714 m2·g-1), higher developed porous structure (0.65016 cm3·g-1), and more oxygen-containing groups, which collectively contributed to significantly improve the adsorption performance of the Fe-N-BC towards RhB. The maximum adsorption capacity of RhB reached 12.41 mg·g-1 by Fe-N-BC which was 1.58, 1.43 and 1.26 folds than that of BC, N-BC and Fe-BC, respectively. The mechanism of adsorption for Fe-N-BC towards RhB including ion exchange, pore filling, surface complexation, H-bond and π-π interaction. This study indicates that Fe-N-BC is an excellent adsorbent for RhB removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Wood-dust of Dalbergia sisoo (Sisau) derived activated carbon (AC) was successfully tested as an adsorbent material for the removal of rhodamine B dye from an aqueous solution. The AC was prepared in a laboratory by the carbonization of wood powder of Dalbergia sisoo at 400 °C in an inert atmosphere of N2, which was chemically activated with H3PO4. Several instrumental techniques have been employed to characterize the as-prepared AC (Db-s). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) confirmed that 400 °C was an appropriate temperature for the carbonization of raw wood powder. The FTIR spectra clearly confirmed the presence of oxygenated functional groups such as hydroxyl (–OH), aldehyde/ketone (–CHO/C=O) and ether (C–O–C) at its surface. The XRD pattern showed the amorphous structure of carbon having the 002 and 100 planes, whereas the Raman spectra clearly displayed G and D bands that further confirmed the amorphous nature of carbon. The SEM images displayed the high porosity, and the BET analysis revealed a high surface area of 1376 m2 g−1, a pore volume of 1.2 cm3 g−1, and a pore size of 4.06 nm with the coexistence of micropores and mesopores. The adsorption of dyes was performed by varying the dye concentration, pH, time, and the sample dose. The maximum percent of RhB dye removal by AC (Db-s) was 98.4% at an aqueous solution of 20 ppm, pH 8.5, an adsorbent dose of 0.03 g, and a time of 5 min. This study proved to be successful in addressing the local problem of wastewater pollution of garment and textile industrial effluents using locally available agro-waste of Dalbergia sisoo.

Abstract
Uvaol, a 6-6-6-6-6 pentacyclic dihydroxy ursane-type triterpenoid, is isolable from different parts of plants Plumeria rubra, Olea europaea, Nerium oleander, Lavandula pedunculta, and Malus domestica. It is also obtained by a one-step reduction of naturally occurring triterpenoid ursolic acid. Herein, we report the first self-assembly properties of uvaol in different neat organic liquids and aqueous organic binary liquid mixtures. Spontaneous self-assembly of uvaol in different neat liquids and binary liquid mixtures yielded garland, flower, and petal-like porous superstructures of nano- to micrometer dimensions. Utilization of self-assemblies has been demonstrated in generation of anticancer drug conjugates and the removal of carcinogenic and toxic chemicals.

Abstract
In this work, raw halloysite mineral from Dunino (Poland) has been characterized and tested as an efficient and low-cost adsorbent for dye removal from water. The morphology and structure of this clay were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the chemical composition was evaluated by means of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The results showed that it is made up of both platy and tubular structures, mainly composed of Si, Al, and O. Iron oxide particles covering the platy structures were also observed. The surface charge of halloysite was measured by z-potential measurements and by the evaluation of the point of zero charge. The clay was tested as an adsorbent for the removal of positively and negatively charged dye molecules, i.e., methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO), both separately and in a mixed-dye solution. Halloysite showed the ability to efficiently and selectively remove MB molecules by adsorption, both in a single-dye solution and in a mixed one. The adsorption of positive dyes on the clay surface mainly occurred through ion exchange at negatively charged sites on its surface. The possibility of regenerating the clay for further dye removal processes is also shown.

Castor Leaves-Based Biochar for Adsorption of Safranin from Textile Wastewater. SUSTAINABILITY 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/su13126926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The prospect of synthesizing biochar from agricultural wastes or by-products to utilize them as a promising adsorbent material is increasingly gaining attention. This research work focuses on synthesizing biochar from castor biomass (CBM) and evaluating its potential as an adsorbent material. Castor biomass-based biochar (CBCs) prepared by the slow pyrolysis process at different temperatures (CBC400 °C, CBC500 °C, and CBC600 °C for 1 h) was investigated for the adsorption of textile dye effluents (safranin). The pyrolysis temperature played a key role in enhancing the morphology, and the crystallinity of the biochar which are beneficial for the uptake of safranin. The CBC600 adsorbent showed a higher safranin dye removal (99.60%) and adsorption capacity (4.98 mg/g) than CBC500 (90.50% and 4.52 mg/g), CBC400 (83.90% and 4.20 mg/g), and castor biomass (CBM) (64.40% and 3.22 mg/g). Adsorption data fitted better to the Langmuir isotherm model than to the Freundlich isotherm model. The kinetics of the adsorption process was described well using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The study on the effect of the contact time for the adsorption process indicated that for CBC600, 80% dye removal occurred in the first 15 min of the contact time. After three regeneration cycles, CBC600 exhibited the highest dye removal efficiency (64.10%), highlighting the enhanced reusability of CBCs. The crystalline patterns, functional binding sites, and surface areas of the prepared CBCs (CBC400, CBC500, CBC600) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, phosphorus-modified alumina with large pore size was synthesized through a coprecipitation method. The carbon-covered, phosphorus-modified alumina with large pores was prepared by impregnating with glucose and carbonizing to further improve the adsorption of organic dyes. The morphology and structure of these composites were characterized by various analysis methods, and Rhodamine B (RhB) adsorption was also examined in aqueous media. The results showed that the specific surface area and pore size of the phosphorus-modified alumina sample AP7 (prepared with a P/Al molar ratio of 0.07) reached 496.2 m2·g−1 and 21.9 nm, while the specific surface area and pore size of the carbon-covered phosphorus-modified alumina sample CAP7–27 (prepared by using AP7 as a carrier for glucose at a glucose/Al molar ratio of 0.27) reached 435.3 m2·g−1 and 21.2 nm. The adsorption experiment of RhB revealed that CAP7–27 had not only an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 198 mg·g−1, but also an adsorption rate of 162.5 mg·g−1 in 5 min. These superior adsorption effects can be attributed to the similar pore structures of CAP7–27 with those of alumina and the specific properties with those of carbon materials. Finally, the kinetic properties of these composites were also studied, which were found to be consistent with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model for isothermal adsorption analysis. This study indicates that the prepared nanomaterials are expected to be promising candidates for efficient adsorption of toxic dyes.

Abstract
Statistical optimization models were employed to optimize the adsorption of textile dye effluent onto Gracilaria edulis. Significant factors responsible for adsorption were determined using Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and were time, pH, and dye concentration. Box-Behnken (BB) design was used for further optimization. The predicted and the experimental values were found to be in good agreement, the coefficient of determination value 0.9935 and adjusted coefficient of determination value 0.9818 indicated that the model was significant. The results of predicted response optimization showed that maximum decolorization could be attained with time 131.51 min, pH 7.48, and dye concentration 23.13%. The model was validated experimentally with 92.65% decolorization efficiency. The experiment was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution scanning electron microscope coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (HR-SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore size analysis techniques. Desorption studies at various pH (2–14) were performed and a maximum of 23% of the dye was recovered from the adsorbed biomass.

Abstract
This research optimized the adsorption performance of rice husk char (RHC4) for copper (Cu(II)) from an aqueous solution. Various physicochemical analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur (CHNS) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, bulk density (g/mL), ash content (%), pH, and pHZPC were performed to determine the characteristics of RHC4. The effects of operating variables such as the influences of aqueous pH, contact time, Cu(II) concentration, and doses of RHC4 on adsorption were studied. The maximum adsorption was achieved at 120 min of contact time, pH 6, and at 8 g/L of RHC4 dose. The prediction of percentage Cu(II) adsorption was investigated via an artificial neural network (ANN). The Fletcher–Reeves conjugate gradient backpropagation (BP) algorithm was the best fit among all of the tested algorithms (mean squared error (MSE) of 3.84 and R2 of 0.989). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the experimental data, thus indicating chemical adsorption. The intraparticle analysis showed that the adsorption process proceeded by boundary layer adsorption initially and by intraparticle diffusion at the later stage. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models interpreted well the adsorption capacity and intensity. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of Cu(II) by RHC4 was spontaneous. The RHC4 adsorption capacity is comparable to other agricultural material-based adsorbents, making RHC4 competent for Cu(II) removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) pomace obtained as a result of processing in the food industry was examined for the bioremoval of Fe(III) ions from aqueous solutions in batch experiments. Several physicochemical properties of the biomass were analyzed using a variety of analytical methods, such as particle size distribution, elemental composition (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetry (TGA, DTG), specific surface area and average pore diameter (BET adsorption isotherms), volume of pores and pore volume distribution (BJH), morphology (SEM), mid-infrared analysis FT-IR. The impact of adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, pH and contact time on the process efficiency was studied. The calculated maximum adsorption efficiency and capacity was estimated at 99.5% and 33.25 mg/g, respectively. The biosorption kinetic analysis indicated that the removal process fits better to the pseudo-second order equation and the Langmuir model. Summing up, the biosorbent is a promising low-cost material for the highly effective iron recovery from effluents and improvement of water quality.

Abstract
Industrial wastewaters are the major source polluting the surface and ground water resources. Pollutants released along with the untreated textile industry wastewaters are responsible for the great damage to the natural resources like water. Considering the hazardous effects of the azo dyes (textile coloring agents) and their byproducts, there is a need to develop cost-effective and efficient treatment method for the textile wastewaters as such dyes have been reported as toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and can cause direct demolition of aquatic communities. One of the possible and effective treatment methods is the use of TiO2 photocatalysis due to its chemical stability, low cost, and non-toxic nature. The present study explored the photocatalytic potential of anatase-type of bimetallic Cu-Ni/TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light irradiation for possible photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of Methyl Orange (MO), as model azo dye. The focus was to correlate the synthesis (different calcination temperatures, phase composition of TiO2 either anatase or rutile, and metal ion loading in terms of concentration and composition (Cu:Ni)) and operational parameters (photocatalyst loading, pollutant concentration, and irradiation time) that were believed responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic performance. Blank experiments were carried out to check the effect of metal loading in comparison to bare TiO2 and effect of absence or presence of light and photocatalysts on MO photodegradation. Results obtained using bimetallic photocatalysts are promising as compared to bare TiO2 as 100% MO removal and ~ 90% %COD removal were obtained in 90 min of irradiation, obeying a pseudo-first-order kinetics with photocatalytic reaction via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism with a good linear fit. Photocatalysts synthesized using anatase TiO2 were reported with improved performance compared to rutile phase. It is evident that synthesis parameters influence photocatalyst performance directly. The higher rate constant (> 1) that proves the excellent adsorption capacity of the tested photocatalysts for tested pollutants on the surface may have a great prospective for photocatalytic water purification at neutral pH.

Abstract
In this present work, TiO2-SiO2-sulfur (Ti-Si-S) nanohybrid material was successfully prepared using TiO2 nano powder, TEOS sol-gel precursor, and elemental sulfur as raw material by sol-gel process and hydrothermal method at 120 °C temperature. Raman spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TEM, and N2 absorption-desorption characterized the synthesized nanohybrid material. The characterization results confirmed the homogeneous distribution of sulfur in the nanohybrid material. The size of the Ti-Si-S nanohybrid material is vary between 20 and 40 nm and the surface areas of the nanohybrid material was measured using N2 absorption-desorption, which showed value of 57.2 m2 g-1. The potential of Ti-Si-S nanohybrid material as an adsorbent was further tested to adsorb methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Adsorption performance of hybrid material was highly influenced by the solution pH and mass of adsorbent. The adsorption of MB using Ti-Si-S nanohybrid material was homogeneous monolayer adsorption, which followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a qe,max value of 804.80 mg g-1 and pseudo-second-order rate equation. The dye diffusion mechanism partially followed both intraparticle and liquid film diffusion mechanisms. Thermodynamics studies predicted the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the whole adsorption process. The Ti-Si-S nanohybrid material was used for six repeated cycles of MB dye adsorption-desorption.

Abstract
The use of alunite as an adsorbent for the removal of dye was the aim of this report. Mixing the alunite with different salts may allow adsorption with higher efficiency. In the present study, the thermal decomposition product of alunite-potassium chloride mixture (TDPA-KCl) was used efficiently and inexpensively to remove Reactive Blue 49 (RB49) dye. The adsorption capacity of TDPA-KCl was found to be affected by pH, temperature, adsorbent amount, calcination temperature, dye concentration, and ionic strength. The highest RB49 adsorption yield was obtained at an initial pH of 2 and an equilibrium was reached within 20 min using 80 mg of adsorbent. The most suitable kinetic model was found as the pseudo-second-order and compatible isotherm was determined as the Langmuir model. The optimum adsorption capacity was found as 119.10 mg g-1 at 40 °C. ∆G°, ∆H°, and ∆S° values were calculated. A positive value of ∆H° stated that the adsorption is exothermic and spontaneous. In addition, ∆G° showed a more negative value when temperature was increased. Column studies indicated that TDPA-KCl could be effectively used for five cycles without any loss in its desorption potential. Breakthrough studies also supported a favorable adsorption of RB49 onto TDPA-KCl. This study showed that TDPA-KCl is a practical, efficient, and inexpensive adsorbent to remove reactive dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
At different calcination conditions, titanium-based manganese oxides (MnOx) electrodes were fabricated by spraying method without adhesive. The MnOx/Ti electrodes were applied in electrochemical oxidation of wastewater treatment for the first time. The surface morphologies of electrodes were tested by scanning electron microscopy. The formation of different manganese oxidation states on electrodes was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of the electrodes have been performed by means of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The characterizations revealed that the MnOx/Ti-350(20) electrode, prepared at calcination temperature of 350 °C for 20 min, exhibited fewer cracks on the electrode surface, larger electrochemically effective surface area and lower charge transfer resistance than electrodes prepared at other calcination conditions. Moreover, Acid Red B was used as target pollutant to test the electrode activity via monitoring the concentration changes by UV spectrophotometer. The results showed that the MnOx/Ti-350(20) electrode presented the best performance on decolorization of Acid Red B with the lowest cell potential during the process of electrochemical oxidation, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) conversion was 50.7%. Furthermore, the changes of Acid Red B during the electrochemical oxidation process were proposed by the UV-vis spectra.

Abstract
The competitive adsorption of cationic and anionic model molecules; methylene blue (MB) and acid red 88 (AR88), respectively, in aqueous solutions onto NiO and/or MgO SBNs was studied. Adsorption isotherms, kinetics and pH effect were investigated in batch modes. Computational modeling was conducted on Acclerys Material Studio for MB and AR88 adsorption. pH study showed that the adsorption is strongly pH dependent, increases for MB while decreases for AR88 with increasing the pH from 4 to 11. Isotherm studies revealed that the Sips model was the best fit for both molecules in single cases, and thus the Extended-Sips model for the binary systems. The kinetics for the binary systems were well-described by the external mass transfer model; thus, film diffusion is the most dominant in the adsorption of both organic onto the SBNs. The adsorption uptakes in binary systems exceed 130 mg g−1 for AR88 (167.7 MgO-SBNs, 132.93 NiO-SBNs, and 178.5 mg g−1 NiO-MgO-SBN), while it reached an uptake of 76.2 MgO-SBNs, 81.5 NiO-SBNs, and 94.7 mg g−1 NiO-MgO-SBNs for MB within the time needed to reach equilibrium (10 min). The adsorption of these two molecules in binary systems showed a synergistic effect onto the three types of SBNs, that enhanced the adsorption uptakes. Computational modeling confirmed the synergistic effect, the adsorption energy of binary systems was lower than that in single systems. Regeneration study was conducted over four adsorption cycles to confirm the sustainability of SBNs. They were stable under thermal oxidation at 400 °C, without any impact on the adsorption capacity.

Abstract
AbstractIn this work, the structural characterization and adsorption behavior of glucose and glucosamine grafted polyacrylamide/graphite composites (denoted as Gu-g-PAM/graphite and GA-g-PAM/graphite) were investigated. The grafted polymers were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR and N2 sorption studies. The adsorption behavior of grafted polymers was compared by varying parameters such as pH, initial dye concentration, agitation time, adsorbent dose and temperature. The results showed that GA-g-PAM/graphite composite was an effective adsorbent for the uptake of acid violet 17 (Av-17) from an aqueous solution. The superior adsorption behavior was attributed to the presence of -NH2 and -OH groups in GA-g-PAM/graphite. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms were used to describe the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm of the adsorbents fitted well with the Langmuir model with the maximum adsorption capacity (qo) of 78.13 mg/g for GA-g-PAM/graphite. The efficiency of adsorption with time was described using pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and intra particle diffusion kinetic models. The kinetic study revealed that the adsorption equilibrium was attained within 50 min. The thermodynamic analysis stated that the adsorption of dye is spontaneous, physical and endothermic in nature. Desorption results revealed that all the adsorbents exhibit excellent stability and remarkable regeneration ability.

Abstract
The exploration of effective deconstruction of biomass complex structures and mild fractionation into individual components is a profound challenge for the development of biorefinery. Herein, a biomass fractionation process, via treating biomass in various aqueous alcohol solutions with the catalysis of acidic ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, was demonstrated to fractionate coir and poplar into cellulose materials with a lignin content as low as 0.95% and lignin with a delignification rate of up to 98%. The participation of acidic ionic liquids into the solvent system greatly multiplied the biomass fractionation efficiency. The analysis on effects of the chemical structure and solubility parameter of alcohols on the delignification efficiency provided a rational and meaningful way to predict and screen solvent for the biomass fractionation process. Lignin in the present study exhibited similar structure with milled wood lignin, and comparable molecular and thermal properties with the conventional organosolv lignin.

Abstract
In this study, treated eggplant peel was used as an adsorbent to remove Pb2+ from aqueous solution. For this purpose batch adsorption experiments were performed for investigating the effect of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, solute concentrations, and temperature. In order to assess adsorbent’s physical and chemical properties, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used. The results showed that the adsorption parameters for reaching maximum removal were found to be contact time of 110 min, adsorbent dose of 0.01 g/ml, initial lead(II) concentration of 70 ppm, pH of 4, and temperature of 25°C. Moreover, for the experiments carried out at pH > 4 the removal occurred by means of significant precipitation as well as adsorption. Furthermore, these results indicated that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics model implying that during the adsorption process strong bond between lead(II) and chemical functional groups of adsorbent surface took place. The process was described by Langmuir model (R2 = 0.99; maximum adsorption capacity 88.33 mg/g). Also thermodynamics of adsorption was studied at various temperatures and the thermodynamic parameters including equilibrium constant (K), standard enthalpy change, standard entropy change, and standard free energy changes were obtained from experimental data.

Abstract
Decolorisation of a complex mixture of two different classes of textile dyes Direct Red 81 (DR81) and Rhodamine B (RHB), simulating one of the most important condition in real textile effluent was investigated onto deoiled Argemone Mexicana seeds (A. Mexicana). The adsorption behaviour of DR81 and RHB dyes was simultaneously analyzed in the mixture using derivative spectrophotometric method. Central composite design (CCD) was employed for designing the experiments for this complex binary mixture where significance of important parameters and possible interactions were analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). Maximum adsorption of DR81 and RHB by A. Mexicana was obtained at 53 °C after 63.33 min with 0.1 g of adsorbent and 8 × 10-6 M DR81, 12 × 10-6 M RHB with composite desirability of 0.99. The predicted values for percentage removal of dyes from the mixture were in good agreement with the experimental values with R2 > 96% for both the dyes. CCD superimposed RSM confirmed that presence of different dyes in a solution created a competition for the adsorbent sites and hence interaction of dyes was one of the most important factor to be studied to simulate the real effluent. The adsorbent showed remarkable adsorption capacities for both the dyes in the mixture.

Abstract
This study examined the characteristics of nitrate removal from aqueous solution by steel slag and the feasibility of using steel slag as a soil additive to remove nitrate. Steel slag adsorbents were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared spectrum (IR spectrum). Adsorption isotherms and kinetics were also analysed. Various parameters were measured in a series of batch experiments, including the sorbent dose, grain size of steel slag, reaction time, initial concentration of nitrate nitrogen, relationship between Al, Fe and Si ions leached from the steel slag and residual nitrate in the aqueous solution. The nitrate adsorbing capacity increased with increasing amounts of steel slag. In addition, decreasing the grain diameter of steel slag also enhanced the adsorption efficiency. Nitrate removal from the aqueous solution was primarily related to Al, Fe, Si and Mn leached from the steel slag. The experimental data conformed to second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isothermal adsorption equation, indicating that the adsorption of nitrate by steel slag is chemisorption under the action of monolayer adsorption. Finally, it was determined that using steel slag as a soil additive to remove nitrate is a feasible strategy.

Abstract
In this study, the impact of different types of biochar and biochar ratios on the anaerobic digestion of citrus peel waste was investigated. Citrus peel has an inhibitory effect on anaerobic digestion. The presence of biochar had two effects: a reduction in the length of the lag phase and greater production of methane relative to citrus peel waste only incubations. The microbial lag phases decreased with increase in citrus peel to biochar ratios, with 2:1 having the longest lag phase of 9.4days and 1:3, the shortest, with the value of 7.5days. The cumulative methane production in incubations containing biochar and citrus peel ranged from 163.9 to 186.8ml CH4 gVS(-1), while citrus peel only produced 165.9ml CH4 gVS(-1). Examination of the biochar material revealed colonies of putative methanogens. The synergy of d-limonene adsorption and microbial immobilization by biochar appears to improve the performance of anaerobic digestion.
