Abstract:

A study was made of the adsorption of chloroform from aqueous solutions on activated carbon (AC) of Ag-3, AG-OB-1, SKD-515 grades. The sorption process in kinetic and dynamic conditions is studied, the mechanism of mass transfer during the adsorption of chloroform to AC of different grades is shown.

Abstract:

Today there is the problem of fine water purification during its consumption and disposal in industry from impurities of water-soluble organic compounds that enter it with pharmaceutical, cosmetic preparations, food waste, waste from the textile and chemical industries. Diatomite is a good raw material for the production of these adsorbents. It is found that diatomite is the mesoporous sorbent. The permeability of diatomite can be increased by granulating of the rock. It is found that heat treatment is necessary to obtain more durable granules from diatomite: when the increasing in the temperature of heat treatment of granules the compressive strength of granules increases too. At the same time, when the temperature of the heat treatment is increasing, the equilibrium adsorption of methylene blue on diatomite granules is decreasing. The optimum temperature for the heat treatment of granules is 550 °C. It is found that the heat treatment and granulation of diatomite do not have a significant impact on the adsorptive-structural properties of the rock: up to 70 % of the pore volume of granules is the volume of mesopores. The powdered adsorbent from diatomite which can be obtained by the developed laboratory method can be used in industrial water purification schemes where static adsorption is used for fine water purification. Using the developed laboratory method for producing granular adsorbent from diatomite, it is possible to produce an adsorbent for water purification under dynamic adsorption conditions, where a high value of the sorbent permeability is important.

Abstract:

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) (WH) is an invasive plant floating freely on the water, which is widely spread in tropical and subtropical regions. The plant is characterized by high porosity and a high number of functional groups, such as hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (–COOH), and amino groups (–NH2). Activated carbon, which is widely accepted on an industrial level for the adsorption of dyes from wastewaters, is a highly expensive material. Thus, in this research, a bioadsorbent material was prepared based on WH biomass and investigated as an alternative tool for water quality remediation, in the case of dye pollutants (RR HE3B). The WH plants were collected from the nearby Lake Tana and used as an adsorbent material without chemical treatment. The batch adsorption test was performed by varying the pH of the solution, adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentration. The powdered WH and RR HE3B dye loaded WH were characterized using FTIR, revealing the emergence of new stretching vibration peaks in the range from 2800 to 3000 cm-1 on the spectrum of Reactive Red HE3B (RR HE3B) dye loaded WH, confirming that -CH and -CH2 were responsible for the adsorption. The analysis of the adsorption isotherm and of the suitability of different models for describing it has led to the following order: Freundlich > Langmuir > Temkin > Dubinin-Radushkevich, based on their correlation coefficient value. This implies that the WH adsorbent surface is heterogeneous and the adsorption of the dye onto it depends not only on the specific reaction sites, as the n-value of the Freundlich constant confirms that the physical adsorption process might be favored. Therefore, WH could be a potential alternative adsorbent to remove the RR HE3B dye from dye polluted wastewaters.

Full text

Abstract:

Magnetic polypyrrole-gelatin-barium ferrite (PPy-G-BaFe) cryogels/aerogels were synthesized by one-step oxidative cryopolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of various fractions of barium ferrite (BaFe) nanoparticles, dispersed in aqueous gelatin solution. The successful incorporation of BaFe into the composites was confirmed by elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy paired with an energy-dispersive X-ray detector. The maximum achieved content of BaFe in the resulting material was 3.9 wt%. The aerogels with incorporated BaFe had significantly higher specific surface area and conductivity, reaching 19.3 m2 g−1 and 4 × 10−4 S cm−1, respectively, compared to PPy-G aerogel, prepared in the absence of BaFe (7.3 m2 g−1 and 1 × 10−5 S cm−1). The model adsorption experiment using an anionic dye, Reactive Black 5, showed that magnetic PPy-G-BaFe aerogel, prepared at 10 wt% BaFe fraction, had significantly higher adsorption rate and higher adsorption capacity, compared to PPy-G (dye removal fraction 99.6% and 89.1%, respectively, after 23 h). Therefore, the prepared PPy-G-BaFe aerogels are attractive adsorbents for water purification due to their enhanced adsorption performance and the possibility of facilitated separation from solution by a magnetic field.

Abstract:

Reducing chemical risk in raw water from the River Cauca (caused by the presence of pentachlorophenol and organic matter (real color, UV254 absorbance)) was evaluated at bench scale by using three treatment sequences: adsorption with powdered activated coal (PAC); adsorption – coagulation; and, adsorption – disinfection – coagulation. The results showed that although PAC is appropriate for pentachlorophenol removal, and its use together with the coagulant (aluminium sulphate) significantly improved phenolic compound and organic matter removal (promoting enhanced coagulation), the most efficient treatment sequence was adsorption – disinfection - coagulation, achieving minor pentachlorophenol levels than detection (1.56 μg/l) and WHO limits (9μg/l) due to the effect of chloride on PAC.

Abstract:

In this study, six macroporous resins were screened on their adsorption and de-adsorption characteristics for the amygdalin in the debitterizing wastewater concentrate (DWC). The results indicate that the XDA-1 resin exerts good adsorption and de-adsorption capacities on the amygdalin. In order to further confirm its feasibility, the factors affecting the capacity of adsorption and de-adsorption, and its adsorption mechanisms were also investigated. The results suggest that the optimum purification conditions were as follows: loading concentration of samples with 78.05 mg/mL, flow rate of 2 mL/min, and de-adsorption with 80% ethanol solution. The recovery rate was 88.75% and the relative content achieved 61.58% after purification by XDA-1 resin. The Freundlich model can be used to describe the entirety of the exothermic and physical adsorption processes. In summary, the conclusion which can be made from this research is that the wastewater generated from the debitterizing of apricot kernels can be well treated by resin to recycle the amygdalin and reduce its pollution to environment.

Iraqi walnut shells were sonicated with different ratios of potassium hydroxide (KOH). The mixture was then calcined at different temperatures using an electric oven until the best thermal conditions for a very high activated surface area and performance were identified. The resulting activated charcoal was further purified to remove residual KOH and metal impurities. Investigations revealed that the quality of the prepared activated charcoal was comparable to or surpassed that of commercially available counterparts in both the physical and adsorption properties. It was characterised for methylene blue degradation and the removal of heavy elements during water purification.

Abstract:

The threat of the accumulation of heavy metals in wastewater is increasing, due to their abilities to inflict damage to human health, especially in the past decade. The world’s environmental agencies are trying to issue several regulations that allow the management and control of random disposals of heavy metals. Scientific studies have heavily focused on finding suitable materials and techniques for the purification of wastewaters, but most solutions have been rejected due to cost-related issues. Several potential materials for this objective have been found and have been compared to determine the most suitable material for the purification process. Sawdust, among all the materials investigated, shows high potential and very promising results. Sawdust has been shown to have a good structure suitable for water purification processes. Parameters affecting the adsorption mechanism of heavy metals into sawdust have been studied and it has been shown that pH, contact time and several other parameters could play a major role in improving the adsorption process. The adsorption was found to follow the Langmuir or Freundlich isotherm and a pseudo second-order kinetic model, meaning that the type of adsorption was a chemisorption. Sawdust has major advantages to be considered and is one of the most promising materials to solve the wastewater problem.

Abstract:

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a pharmaceutical residue, which is persistent and mobile in soils, shows low biodegradability, and is frequently found in the different aquatic compartments, can be found at very low concentrations in water intended for human consumption. In conditions compatible with industrial practices, the kinetic reactivity and performance of tap water purification using activated carbon powder (ACP) are examined here using two extreme mass ratios of SMX to ACP: 2 µg/L and 2 mg/L of SMX for only 10 mg/L of ACP. In response to surface chemistry, ACP texture and the intrinsic properties of SMX in water at a pH of 8.1, four kinetic models, and two monosolute equilibrium models showed a total purification of the 2 µg/L of SMX, the presence of energetic heterogeneity of surface adsorption of ACP, rapid kinetics compatible with the residence times of industrial water treatment processes, and kinetics affected by intraparticle diffusion. The adsorption mechanisms proposed are physical mechanisms based mainly on π–π dispersion interactions and electrostatic interactions by SMX−/Divalent cation/ArO− and SMX−/Divalent cation/ArCOO− bridging. Adsorption in tap water, also an innovative element of this study, shows that ACP is very efficient for the purification of very slightly polluted water.

Abstract:

In rural toilets, black water still remains polluted by nitrogen and phosphorus after being pre-treated by septic tanks. This study uses aerated biofilters to purify black water, screen the biofilter filler, and determine its effect on nitrogen and phosphorus purification in rural black water. This study introduced the concept of the “shape factor” into the Langmuir and Freundlich equations and optimized the isotherm adsorption model to better fit the actual dynamics of nitrogen and purification in black water. Combined with the first-order kinetic equation, the double constant equation, and the Elovich equation, the adsorption performance of seven kinds of biofilter fillers (i.e., zeolite, volcanic rock, sepiolite, ceramsite, anthracite, vermiculite, and peat) was studied. Then, the biofilter was constructed using a combination of fillers with better adsorption properties, and its ability to purify rural black water was studied. Results showed that vermiculite and zeolite had little effect on nitrogen and a high saturated adsorption of 654.50 and 300.89 mg·kg−1, respectively; peat and ceramsite had little effect on phosphorus and a high saturated adsorption of 282.41 mg·kg−1 and 233.89 mg·kg−1, respectively. The adsorption rate of nitrogen from fast to slow was vermiculite > peat > zeolite > volcanic rock > sepiolite > ceramsite > anthracite. The adsorption rate of phosphorus from fast to slow was peat > ceramsite > zeolite > sepiolite > vermiculite > volcanic rock > anthracite. Four combined biological filter fillers aided the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from rural high-concentration black water. The combination of zeolite and ceramsite filler had a good nitrogen and phosphorus removal effect in high-concentration black water. After the system was stable, the nitrogen removal rate attained 71–73%, and the phosphorus removal rate attained 73–76% under the influent condition of total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations of 150–162 and 10–14 mg·L−1, respectively. This study provides technical support and reference for the purification and treatment of rural black water.

Abstract:

It has become one of the major environmental problems for people worldwide to be exposed to high arsenic concentrations through contaminated drinking water, and even the long-term intake of small doses of arsenic has a carcinogenic effect. As an efficient and economic approach for the purification of arsenic-containing water, the adsorbents in adsorption processes have been widely studied. Among a variety of adsorbents reported, the metal oxide heterostructures with high surface area and specific affinity for arsenic adsorption from aqueous systems have demonstrated a promising performance in practical applications. This review paper aims to summarize briefly the metal oxide heterostructures in arsenic removal from contaminated water, so as to provide efficient, economic, and robust solutions for water purification.

Abstract:

Water cadmium (Cd) pollution has widely aroused concerns due to high Cd toxicity in water bodies and its serious health risks to humans. Adsorption has been identified as an effective and widely utilized technology for water purification with heavy metal pollution. To develop a newly identified adsorbent of modified zeolite that can easily and effectively purify Cd-polluted water, NaOH modification (JZ), high-temperature modification (HZ), humic acid modification (FZ), Na2S modification (SZ), and ultrasonic modification (CZ) zeolites were developed, and their appearances and adsorption and desorption characteristics were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of Cd by JZ and SZ were improved by 68.87% and 32.06%, respectively, relative to that by natural zeolite (NZ); however, HZ, FZ, and CZ decreased the adsorption capacity. JZ had a higher adsorption capacity than SZ and could remove 99.90% Cd at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L. The dominant adsorption mechanism of Cd by JZ was the chemisorption of the monolayer. The preferred temperature and pH that enhanced Cd adsorption by JZ were 25–35 °C and 4–8, respectively. With an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 9.37–9.74 mg/g at an initial concentration of 280 mg/L, JZ reached its maximum saturated adsorption capacity; compared with SZ and NZ, the adsorption capacity increase was 27.83%–68.81%. The R2 fitted by JZ's Langmuir model and quasi-second-order dynamics model were both above 0.93. In summary, JZ was recognized as a novel absorbent for Cd-polluted water purification.

Abstract:

Plasma method is used to synthesize manganese ferrite. The basic properties of ferrite are determined by IR spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis, vibration magnetometry. The paper shows that the use of magnetically controlled sorbent allows to purify waste waters from chromium (III). The process of adsorption of chromium cations (III) is investigated. The kinetics of the process is studied. To describe the equilibrium isotherms, the experimental data are analysed by the models of Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second-order, and Weber-Morris are used to elucidate the kinetic parameters and mechanism of the adsorption process. It has been established that the removal of Cr (III) cations is described by the pseudo-second order of the Langmuir reaction and mechanism.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper deals with checking the possibility of using fly ash (FA) as a sorbent in the batch adsorption method of removing radionuclides from aqueous solutions. An adsorption-membrane filtration (AMF) hybrid process with a polyether sulfone ultrafiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm was also tested as an alternative to the commonly used column-mode technology. In the AMF method, metal ions are bound by the water-insoluble species prior to the membrane filtration of the purified water. Thanks to the easy separation of the metal-loaded sorbent, it is possible to improve water purification parameters using compact installations and reduce operating costs. This work evaluated the influence of such parameters on cationic radionuclide removal efficiency (EM): initial pH and composition of the solution, contact time of the phases, and the FA doses. A method for removing radionuclides, ordinarily present in an anionic form (e.g., TcO4−), from water, has also been presented. The results show, that both batch adsorption of radionuclides and adsorption-membrane filtration (AMF) using the FA as an adsorbent can be effectively used for water purification and in the form of a solid directed to long-term storage.

Abstract:

In this work, we convert a plastic waste, i.e., polystyrene (PS), into a sorbent by a simple sulfonation process. The sulfonation time was optimized and the structures of the resulting sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray and contact angle tests. The results showed that the sulfonation time of 7 h can introduce abundant sulfonic groups and preserve the self-standing structure. Additionally, the SPS has a three-dimensional porous structure and hydrophilic surface because of the presence of numerous sulfonic groups, which could serve as effective binding sites for immobilizing varying pollutants. Furthermore, as a proof-of-concept, the adsorption performance of the SPS foams was evaluated using three pollutants, namely Pb2+, lysozyme and methylene blue. The adsorption isotherms were fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, while the kinetics of the adsorption processes were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion equations. It was found that the adsorption isotherms of Pb2+ and lysozyme can be better described by the Langmuir model, leading to maximum equilibrium adsorption uptakes of 10.5 and 15.7 mg g−1 for the adsorption of Pb2+ and lysozyme, respectively. Importantly, the pollutant-saturated SPS is readily regenerated by acid washing, and the recovered sorbents exhibit outstanding cyclic performance. The abundant availability of feedstock, facile preparation and regeneration processes render the SPS foams a promising sorbent for practical applications.

Abstract:

Coal mining has caused groundwater pollution and loss. Using a mined area as a water storage space for storing and purifying mine water is a low-cost environmentally friendly mining method. In this study, static and dynamic adsorption experiments on the ions in mine water were carried out using the roof rocks from the Lingxin coal mine. The sample analysis results show that the main chemical composition of the roof is mainly SiO2 and Al2O3. The water chemistry type of the mine water is SO4-HCO3-Cl-Na type, with an average mineralization of about 4000 mg/L. The experimental results show that gangue can stabilize the pH value of mine water with different pH values between 7.5 and 8.5. In the acidic and alkaline environment, the degree of void space increases the adsorption capacity of the gangue, in which the adsorption rate of gangue is between 3% and 5%. The calcium ion reduction rate reaches 75% in static leaching and 70% in dynamic leaching conditions. Medium-grained coarse sandstone has a stronger adsorption capacity than muddy siltstone. The results from this study can support further research on using gangue for water purification purposes in mines, simultaneously reducing the harmful accumulation of gangue and promoting the recycling of highly mineralized water.

Abstract:

AbstractInto purified organic wastewater, α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin (α-, β-, and γ-CD) were added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with ammonium persulfate as the crosslinker. The CD/PVA composite film with low water solubility and supramolecular adsorption was prepared by solvent evaporation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that when CD was successfully added to PVA, the crosslinking process had no effect on -OH, and the structure was stable after soaking in water for 120 h. Solubility experiments showed that the stability of PVA in water was significantly improved. The results of phenolphthalein adsorption showed that the composite film followed the Langmuir isothermal adsorption and the pseudo-second-order kinetics. According to the Langmuir equation, the theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of α-, β- and γ-CD/PVA composite films were 0.41, 2.05, and 2.00 mg/g, respectively. The parameters of the Freundlich equation indicate that the adsorption of the composite film is physical adsorption. The time for α-CD/PVA composite film to reach equilibrium was the shortest, while the longest was for β-CD/PVA composite film. The intraparticle diffusion model showed that the adsorption was mainly affected by the diffusion of the boundary layer, and the diffusion rate limitation of the boundary layer of the high-concentration phenolphthalein solution was more obvious.

Abstract:

The scope of this article is to develop composite membranes using chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) as adsorbents for the removal of inorganic pollutants such as heavy metal ions, particularly Pb2+, from aqueous solutions. GO was obtained by modified Hummers method and blended with CS solution. The introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) compound to CS/GO suspension lead to an increased adsorption capacity of CS/GO for the elimination of heavy metals by forming stable chelates with them. The synthesized membranes were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the adsorption behaviour of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions using CS/EDTA/GO membranes was evaluated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The adsorption performance of Pb2+ ions was studied by monitoring the concentration of Pb2+ against the adsorption period at an initial content of the adsorbent. The maximum adsorption efficiency of Pb2+ metal ions reached 767 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA/GO 0.1%, 889 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA/GO 0.3%, 970 mg·g−1 for CS/EDTA, 853 mg·g−1 for CS and 1526 mg·g−1 for GO. These findings show promising potential for CS/EDTA/GO membranes as effective adsorbent materials for the removal of heavy metal ions in water.

Abstract:

A 95% confidence interval was estimated from 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) numbers, as an index of adsorption capacity described in this article, for 31 different powdered activated carbons (PACs) used for drinking water purification. The seven PACs selected in this study were chosen as five of them were within the 95% confidence interval and the other two PACs were not. The PACs were assessed based on previous studies, which represented the relationships between 2-MIB adsorption capacity and surface area, pore distribution, bulk oxygen content and surface oxygen functional groups. From the results, we assumed the 2-MIB adsorption mechanism and studied relationships between 2-MIB number and ash content of PAC or pH value of PAC slurry. It was shown that the 2-MIB number correlated with the ash content and the pH value. Easily measurable ash content and pH values would help a water supplier briefly screen PACs for removing 2-MIB at a water purification facility.

Abstract In this study; acid treated carbonized mandarin peel (CMP) adsorbent was prepared and the adsorption behaviour of the adsorbent for copper removal was investigated. In the adsorption studies the effects of initial metal concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time on the removal were investigated. As a result; the highest removal of 100% was achieved when the copper concentration in water was 5 mg/L and the adsorbent dosage was 3.75 g/L at a solution pH of 7. Isotherm studies were also done and the appropriate isotherm was obtained as the Freundlich isotherm. According to the kinetic studies, the copper adsorption onto CMP adsorbent was adopted to the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic. After HCl regeneration, the adsorbent maintained 94% of its activity.

Abstract:

Interactions of C.I. Basic Blue 3 with potassium humate in aqueous systems were investigated. Both the humic content and dye removal are of crucial significance in relation to water of a desired quality. Dye retention experiments demonstrated that potassium humate is an exceptionally efficient adsorbent. The effect of both the pH and temperature on the adsorption process was investigated. The temperature proved to only slightly influence the extent of dye sorption; contrarily, under mildly acidic conditions (pH = 4.0), the quantity of dye adsorbed was doubled on standing. At this pH value, interactions between the positively charged dye and the dissociated carboxyl groups of humic substances are encountered. This was also supported by the obedience of the experimental data to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Three adsorption models, i.e., Langmuir, Freundlich and BET, were fitted to the experimental data; the equilibrium adsorption conformed to the Langmuir and BET isotherm equations on the basis of electrostatic dye–humics interactions, while the fitting of the Freundlich model referred to the heterogeneities of humic substances attributed to their colloidal behavior. Thermodynamic quantities, i.e., enthalpy, entropy and free energy change in the adsorption, were calculated. The low ΔHadsθ values verify the negligible effect of the temperature on the adsorption; ΔSadsθ denotes a thermodynamically favorable reaction, and ΔGadsθ denotes a spontaneous process.

Abstract:

Studies of adsorption properties of carbon nanotubes with respect to inorganic molecules have been carried out. Theoretical quantum-chemical calculations of the interaction of the most common impurity molecules in water with carbon nanotubes were made. Analysis of modern water purification filters shows the general disadvantage of all modern filters – they clean water only from a certain type of pollution. In order to clean water from a wide range of different pollutants, it is necessary to carry out multistage purification, with different types of filters, which is very resource intensive, and takes quite a long time. Using carbon nanomaterials as filters will solve this problem. For the study, the most common inorganic substances were chosen, which are most often found in drinking water: calcium chloride CaCl2, magnesium chloride MgCl2, sodium chloride NaCl, calcium carbonate CaCO3, magnesium carbonate MgCO3, calcium sulfate CaSO4, magnesium sulfate MgSO4. Processes of adsorption interaction of selected inorganic impurity molecules to the surface of single-layer carbon nanotubes of type (6,6) were investigated. Surface profiles of potential energy of interaction of molecules (calcium, magnesium and sodium salts) with surface of carbon nanotube are constructed. The positive effect of carbon nanostructures on the process of water purification from inorganic impurities is shown, meaning the possibility of using CNT as a filter for water purification.
