ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:31881-31894. [PMID: 36459316 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23736-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Adsorption on activated carbon is a promising technique for the treatment of low-concentration heavy metal pollutants in water with high efficiency and simple operation. However, commercial-activated carbon is often associated with high costs. Therefore, much attention has been given to activated carbon derived from low-cost agricultural and residual biomass. In this work, adsorption of Zn, Cd, and Pb ions in aqueous solutions was conducted using granular-activated carbon obtained from macauba palm, biomass waste of biofuel production, after surface modification using different methods. The adsorbents were obtained in granular form which facilitates all steps of the use, recovery, and reuse of the material, differently from the powdered-activated carbon normally used. The materials were characterized by using XPS, elemental analysis, N2 sorption (BET method), and zeta potential measurements. Such techniques allowed observation of the functionalization of the carbon surface. The materials presented high adsorption capacities when compared to other works in the literature, with a capacity of approximately 7.69, 8.42, and 1.63 mmol g-1 for Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+, respectively. In addition, the materials showed a high capacity to be reused, removing 75% of Pb and 99% of both Cd and Zn after 4 cycles.

Abstract
In this study, novel biosorbents, based on chitosan and imidazolium ionic liquid, were prepared for the removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDS and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption. To investigate the adsorption mechanism and behavior of chitosan adsorbents, batch experiments were conducted under different adsorbent dosages (2, 4, 10 g/L), pH (4, 7, 9) and initial concentration (0.5-25.0 mg/L). The influence of the method of synthesis of ionic liquid on the adsorption performance were also studied. Experimental data were evaluated by Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips models. The introduction of ionic liquid significantly improved the uptake of fluoride compared to pure chitosan. The adsorption was influenced by the experimental conditions, as well as the method of ionic liquid synthesis. The highest fluoride removal was observed at pH 4 and found to decrease with increasing pH. The removal efficiency and adsorption capacity values indicated that the dose of 4 g/L was the optimum adsorbent dosage. The equilibrium data fitted best with the Sips isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity reached 8.068 mg/g for modified chitosan beads. The mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto ionic liquid-modified chitosan involves electrostatic attraction, ion exchange and ion pair interaction.

Abstract
A highly efficient fluoride adsorbent Al2 O3 /CeO2 was synthesized in this work and used it to fluoride removal in the fixed-bed adsorption through changing the different experimental conditions (influent F- concentration, flow velocity, and bed heights). The adsorption capacity was 9.72 mg/g. In addition, the Adams-Bohart and Thomas models were used to fit and evaluate the column breakthrough curve of fluoride removal process by Al2 O3 /CeO2 , and the correlation coefficients (R2 ) of the Thomas model were close to 1 under all experimental conditions. The structure of Al2 O3 /CeO2 and the adsorption mechanism were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N2 adsorption and desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, the adsorption of fluoride (F- ) was mainly through metal binding (MF) and hydroxyl binding (AlOH⋯F) on the surface of the Al2 O3 /CeO2 . Furthermore, the regeneration and coexisting anions studies of Al2 O3 /CeO2 were carried out, and the efficiency of adsorption was still above 70% after five cycles. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Removal of fluoride was studied by fixed-bed experiment, and the adsorption capacity of composite Al2 O3 /CeO2 was 9.72 mg/g. The metal complex played important role in fluoride removal and reusability makes a long-term application for fluoride adsorption. Fluoride wastewater is pumped to the fixed-bed column, and fluoride ions are absorbed by Al2 O3 /CeO2 through fluoride metal complex and aluminum hydrofluoride.

Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide and composites of graphene oxide-iron modified clinoptilolite were synthesized and used for arsenate removal from aqueous solution. All adsorbents were characterized using X-ray diffraction and specific surface area analysis. The specific surface areas of composites were found to be less than the iron modified clinoptilolite. The time required to reach equilibrium was determined as 3 hours for all adsorbents. The Box-Behnken statistical experiment design method was used to determine the effects of initial arsenate concentration, pH and the amount of adsorbent on the percent arsenate removal. Graphene oxide was not as effective as composites for arsenate adsorption from water. Arsenate adsorption on composites was showed good compatibility with the Freundlich isotherm. The maximum arsenate uptake was realized at pH 4 for graphene oxide and at pH 7 for composites. The maximum adsorption capacities obtained at the optimum points determined by using the Box-Behnken design method were calculated as 39.49, 117.98 and 124.64 µg.g-1 for graphene oxide and composites, respectively.
