Magnetization and ZIF-67 modification of Aspergillus flavus biomass for tetracycline removal from aqueous solutions: A stable and efficient composite. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118931. [PMID: 38615794 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
In the present work, the biomass of Aspergillus flavus (AF) was modified using magnetic nanoparticles MnFe2O4 and metal-organic framework of ZIF-67, and its ability to remove tetracycline antibiotic (TCH) was investigated. With the help of physicochemical tests, AF biomass modification with ZIF-67 and MnFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles was confirmed. Based on the BET value, AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 (139.83 m2/g) has a higher surface value than AF (0.786 m2/g) and AF/MnFe2O4 (17.504 m2/g). Also, the magnetic saturation value revealed that the modified biomass can be isolated from the treated solution using a simple magnetic field. Maximum TCH elimination (99.04%) using AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 was obtained at pH 7, adsorber mass of 1 g/L, adsorption time of 40 min, and TCH content of 10 mg/L. The thermodynamic study indicated that the TCH abatement using the desired composite is spontaneous and exothermic. The experimental results showed that the adsorption process is compatible with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity for AF, AF-MnFe2O4, and AF-MnFe2O4-ZIF-67 was quantified to be 9.75 mg/g, 25.59 mg/g, and 43.87 mg/g, respectively. The reusability of the desired adsorbers was examined in up to 8 steps. The outcomes showed that the adsorbers can be used several times in TCH elimination. The provided composite can remove TCH from hospital wastewater, so it can be suggested for use in water and wastewater treatment works.

Elucidating the impacts of cobalt (II) ions on extracellular electron transfer and pollutant degradation by anodic biofilms in bioelectrochemical systems during industrial wastewater treatment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:134007. [PMID: 38490150 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Electrogenic biofilms in bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are critical in wastewater treatment. Industrial effluents often contain cobalt (Co2+); however, its impact on biofilms is unknown. This study investigated how increasing Co2+ concentrations (0-30 mg/L) affect BES biofilm community dynamics, extracellular polymeric substances, microbial metabolism, electron transfer gene expression, and electrochemical performance. The research revealed that as Co2+ concentrations increased, power generation progressively declined, from 345.43 ± 4.07 mW/m2 at 0 mg/L to 160.51 ± 0.86 mW/m2 at 30 mg/L Co2+. However, 5 mg/L Co2+ had less effect. The Co2+ removal efficiency in the reactors fed with 5 and 10 mg/L concentrations exceeded 99% and 94%, respectively. However, at 20 and 30 mg/L, the removal efficiency decreased substantially, likely because of reduced biofilm viability. FTIR indicated the participation of biofilm functional groups in Co2+ uptake. XPS revealed Co2+ presence in biofilms as CoO and Co(OH)2, indicating precipitation also aided removal. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests revealed that 5 mg/L Co2+ had little impact on the electrocatalytic activity, while higher concentrations impaired it. Furthermore, at a concentration of 5 mg/L Co2+, there was an increase in the proportion of the genus Anaeromusa-Anaeroarcus, while the genus Geobacter declined at all tested Co2+ concentrations. Additionally, higher concentrations of Co2+ suppressed the expression of extracellular electron transfer genes but increased the expression of Co2+-resistance genes. Overall, this study establishes how Co2+ impacts electrogenic biofilm composition, function, and treatment efficacy, laying the groundwork for the optimized application of BES in remediating Co2+-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
Traditional freshwater sources have been over-abstracted in the worldwide crisis of water scarcity. Effluents have extremely high amounts of Zn2+ and Pb2+, according to an investigation of wastewater samples taken from several industrial zones. However, these heavy metals are among the most harmful to both humans and wildlife that are currently known. Streptomyces sp. is utilized in this study as a biosorbent to biosorb Zn2+ and Pb2+ from single and binary aqueous solutions. Several factors, such as biomass concentration (0.25–4 g), metal solution concentration (5–50 mg L−1), solution pH (2–5), and contact time were standardized. Streptomyces sp. biomass was able to extract 93% Pb2+ and 91% Zn2+ from a single and 95% Pb2+ and 97% Zn2+ from a binary metal aqueous solution containing 25 mg L−1 and pH 4. The highest adsorption capacity in both single and binary sorption experiments was determined to be shared by Zn2+ and Pb2+. The biosorbent’s metal adsorption increased from 0.48 to 4.56 mg g−1 for Pb2+ and from 0.21 mg g−1 to 4.65 mg g−1 for Zn2+ when the metals were present singly, and from 0.44 to 4.18 mg g−1 for Pb2+ and from 0.41 mg g−1 to 5.67 mg g−1 for Zn2+ when the metals were present in binary form. The amount of metal ions was raised from 5 to 50 mg L−1. Correlation coefficient (R2) values indicate that the adsorption pattern for Zn2+ and Pb2+ followed Freundlich isotherm R2 > 0.9543 for single and 0.9582 for binary sorption system. In order to remove Zn2+ and Pb2+ from an aqueous solution, Streptomyces sp. is a potential and different source of adsorbents.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 231:115992. [PMID: 37121352 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Phosphate recovery from wastewater using readily available biowaste-based adsorbents is beneficial for both eutrophication control and waste management. Bamboo char has a high-density porous structure and eggshell contains CaCO3 with high affinity for phosphate. The combination of calcined bamboo and eggshell is a potential adsorbent for P recovery that has not been tested previously. Because bamboo char and eggshell both are popular for soil amendment, a P-loaded bamboo and eggshell composite is a promising fertilizer for long-term soil improvement. In this work, the feasibility of calcined bamboo and eggshell (BE) for P recovery and its use as fertilizer were investigated. The adsorption capacity and mechanism were examined using adsorption kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic analysis. The kinetic study showed that the experimental data sets were fitted best by a pseudo second-order model, indicating chemisorption. The Langmuir isotherm model estimated maximum adsorption capacities of 95.14 and 98.40 mg/g for BE 1:1 and 2:1 adsorbent. Monolayer adsorption occurred on a homogenous surface. The adsorption reaction was non-spontaneous at 298 K and exothermic for the BE 1:1 and 2:1 adsorbent, and the calculated Langmuir separation factor indicated favorable conditions for P adsorption. The desorption study showed lower P desorption capacity in water than in neutral ammonium citrate. P-loaded eggshell-modified bamboo char was an effective slow-release fertilizer for Japanese mustard spinach cultivation, which is a sustainable and environment friendly use of P-loaded materials.

Abstract
The gradual replacement of conventional materials with materials tailored to the green development goals is one of the needs of the day. Correspondingly, this article reviews and integrates, for the first time, the gathered knowledge on the use of the adsorbents based on polymeric biomasses (biosorbents) for a cleaner separation of cobalt (Co) from synthetic and actual solutions. It is a two-part comprehensive approach that debates the Co biosorption potential of bio-based polymers from the perspective of their virtual and real applications for decontamination, recovery, and analytical purposes. First, the removal performances of these materials to batch and fixed column biosorption of Co(II) from mono-component and multi-metallic laboratory solutions are systematized and discussed. Following that, the focus of the first part is shifted to the analytical capabilities of the biosorbents proposed for Co(II) quantification from synthetic solutions. The second section considers the polymeric biomasses successfully incorporated in practical strategies for the removal and recovery of Co(II) from real solutions. The opportunities provided by the use of biosorbents for the development of accurate and greener procedures in Co(II) analysis are also highlighted. The directions in which the research on this topic should be continued and strengthened are suggested.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Magnetic nanoparticles owing to their superparamagnetic behaviour and specific reactive sites are facilitated to regenerate and reuse. Our present study determines the cointegration of the plant extracts of Cynodon dactylon and Muraya koenigii with the magnetic nanoparticle coated with silica layer and surface engineered with a specific amine group. The cointegrated magnetic nano adsorbent is characterized for its analytical feature and batch studies are performed to remove zinc (Zn2+) copper (Cu2+) metal ions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of functional entities such as NH2, Si-O-Si, C=C. The size of the cointegrated nano adsorbent (12-30 nm) was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy whereas, a high-resolution transmission electron microscope affirms the nanosize of the particle constituted around 20 nm. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis confirms the presence of elements like Fe, N, Si and was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and vibrating sample magnetometer affirms the superparamagnetic nature with the high magnetic saturation value (Ms - 30 emug-1). The cointegrated nano adsorbent reveals the maximum adsorption capacity of Zn2+ as 78.24 mg.g-1 and Cu2+ as 81.76 mg.g-1 of the adsorbent under the optimized conditions of contact time 45 min, pH 6.0 and temperature 35 °C. Kinetics such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion and isotherm studies like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin were performed to understand the mechanism of interaction between the nanoadsorbent and metal ions. The reaction system follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model for both the Cu2+ and Zn2+ metal ions. To determine the reusing capacity of the cointegrated nanoadsorbent, the adsorption efficiency was studied for continuous twelve cycles with 80% recovery after subsequent acid treatment.

Abstract
Because many heavy metals, such as zinc, are used in plating plants, it is important for wastewater treatment technologies to comply with wastewater regulations. In zinc wastewater treatment, zinc is separated from wastewater via hydroxide precipitation. However, ammonia tends to enter the wastewater produced from the plating process and inhibits hydroxide precipitation, which causes difficulties in treating wastewater. In this study, we investigated the effect of ammonia stripping on plating wastewater to remove ammonia, which inhibits wastewater treatment. Based on the results of this study, it was observed that the effectiveness of ammonia removal depends on the pH and air flow rate. It was also found that the presence of zinc increased the ammonia removal effect in most cases. This increase was due to the transformation of some of the precipitated zinc hydroxide in the wastewater into zinc oxide, which afforded an ammonia adsorption effect. After the addition of ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate (EDTA・2Na), which is a complexing agent, the ammonia removal effect was slightly decreased. This result is attributed to the decrease in the amount of zinc oxide, which occurs due to the complex formation of EDTA with zinc precipitates in the wastewater. Furthermore, the addition of an excess amount of EDTA・2Na increased the concentration of free ammonia in the wastewater and increased the removal effect. Moreover, the effect of ammonia stripping was successfully applied to wastewater obtained from a zinc plating plant, and zinc wastewater treatment was improved with the removal of ammonia. These results indicate that ammonia stripping is effective in zinc wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, an easily magnetically recoverable polydopamine (PDA)-modified hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Fe3O4 magnetic composite (HAp/Fe3O4/PDA) was suitably synthesized to exploit its adsorption capacity to remove Zn2+ from aqueous solution, and its structural properties were thoroughly examined using different analytical techniques. The effect of multiple parameters like pH, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, adsorbent dose, and initial Zn2+ concentration on the adsorption efficiency was assessed using RSM-CCD. According to the acquired results, by increasing the adsorbent quantity, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, and pH, the Zn2+ adsorption efficiency increased and the interaction between the variables of ultrasonic power/Zn2+ concentration, pH/Zn2+ concentration, pH/absorbent dose, and ultrasonic time/adsorbent dose has a vital role in the Zn2+ adsorption. The uptake process of Zn2+ onto PDA/HAp/Fe3O4 followed Freundlich and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The maximum capacity of Zn2+ adsorption (q m) obtained by PDA/HAp/Fe3O4, HAp/Fe3O4, and HAp was determined as 46.37 mg g-1, 40.07 mg g-1, and 37.57 mg g-1, respectively. Due to its good performance and recoverability (ten times), the HAp/Fe3O4/PDA magnetic composite can be proposed as a good candidate to eliminate Zn2+ ions from a water solution.

Abstract
Long-term accumulation of cobalt-containing wastewater may also pollute groundwater and cause a large amount of loss of valuable metals. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of cobalt-containing wastewater must be realized, especially as cobalt itself is a very important strategic resource. This paper proposes a membrane electroconversion method to separate cobalt ions from cobalt-containing wastewater and prepare cobalt hydroxide. In addition, the electrolysis process was optimized, and single-factor experiments such as the initial concentration, cobalt ions, current density, temperature etc., and economic calculations such as current efficiency were explored. The electrolysis product was calcined as the precursor to obtain the oxide Co3O4, and the calcination experiment was also optimized. In this concentration range, more than 90% of cobalt can be recovered within 2 h.

Abstract
A thermodynamic and kinetic study of the adsorption process of Zn (II) and Pb (II) ions from aqueous solution on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) to establish the mechanisms of adsorbate–adsorbent interaction on this surface. The effect of pH on the retention capacity was studied and adsorption isotherms were determined from aqueous solution of the ions; once the experimental data was obtained, the kinetic and thermodynamic study of the sorption process was carried out. The data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Raduskevich and Temkin isotherm models. The results showed that Zn(II) and Pb(II) on the GO adsorbing surface fitted the Langmuir model with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.996. Kinetic models studied showed that a pseudo-second-order model was followed and thermodynamically, the process was spontaneous according to the values of Gibbs free energy (ΔGo). N2 adsorption isotherms were determined and modeled with the NLDFT (nonlocal density functional theory) and QSDFT (quenched solid density functional theory) kernels.

Abstract
The biochar BC-450 derived from the extracted marine Chlorella sp. residue (EMCR) had high surface area (266 m2/g) and was rich in ash and O-functional groups. Its characteristics are suitable for heavy metal adsorption. The adsorption parameters were investigated to optimize the removal efficiency of Cr(VI), Zn(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution by conventional adsorption (CA) and by ultrasonication adsorption (UA). The adsorption was fit by Langmuir isotherm and by pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium times were 10, 8, 15 min and 40, 60, 80 min for removal of Cr(VI), Zn(II) and Ni(II) with UA and CA, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cr(VI), Zn(II) and Ni(II) for CA and UA were 15.94, 17.62 and 24.76 mg/g and 18.86, 21.31 and 27.45 mg/g, respectively. UA presented 1.1-1.3 times greater removal efficiencies than CA in much shorter time. The EMCR is a promising feedstock for producing low cost and high efficiency adsorbents.

Dataset of the aqueous solution and petrochemical wastewater treatment containing ammonia using low cost and efficient bio-adsorbents. Data Brief 2019; 26:104308.

Abstract
In this dataset, the removal of ammonia from synthetic and real wastewater was studied using the Ziziphus spina-christi activated carbon (ZSAC) and the biochar of Sargassum oligocystum (BSO). Several analyses such as FTIR, SEM, EDS, XRD, and BET were used to determine the physical and surface properties of the adsorbents. The BET analysis showed a high specific surface area of 112.5 and 45.8 m2/g for ZSAC and BSO, respectively. Also, the results indicated that the highest adsorption of ammonia from synthetic wastewater using ZSAC and BSO were obtained 97.9% and 96.2%, at contact time of 80 min, 25 °C, pH 8, and adsorbent dosage of 5 g/L. In addition, the adsorption results of real wastewater from Asaluyeh Pardis Petrochemical Company demonstrated that both adsorbents had the removal efficiency of approximately 90%, which indicates high adsorption efficiency using two adsorbents. Moreover, equilibrium studies showed that the adsorption process of ammonia from wastewater using both adsorbents follows the Freundlich model and the maximum adsorption capacity using the Langmuir isotherm were calculated to be 25.77 mg/g and 7.46 mg/g for ZSAC and BSO, respectively. Furthermore, the thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption process using the bio-adsorbents was spontaneous and exothermic.

Abstract
The present paper describes the sono-assisted adsorption (sono-adsorption) of methylene blue (MB), methyl violet (MV), and Nile blue (NB) from aqueous solution by AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite. FT-IR, TGA-DTG, VSM, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, Map, and Raman analysis were used to characterize the magnetic composite. The magnetization saturation value of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite was determined to be 53.06 emu/g. Dye sono-adsorption efficiency was increased by increasing adsorbent dose, pH value, and contact time, but not dye concentration. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models were used to study the kinetic behavior of the cationic dye sono-adsorption. The sono-adsorption kinetics was reasonably followed by pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.998). The results showed that the Freundlich model (R2 > 0.976) was more able to describe the sono-adsorption equilibrium behavior than Langmuir, D-R, and Scatchard models. The maximum sono-adsorption capacity of NB, MV, and MB was determined as 86.24, 83.90, and 87.48 mg/g, respectively. Based on the parameters derived from isotherm modeling (RL, n, and E), the sono-adsorption process of cationic dyes is desirable and physical. An increase in NaCl concentration reduced the sono-adsorption efficiency for all dyes. Also, the adsorption-desorption of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic was studied up to 10 stages, and it was confirmed that the sono-adsorption efficiency is acceptable up to the eight stage. AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite is, therefore, an affordable and recyclable adsorbent to remove the molecule of NB, MV, and MB dyes from aqueous media.

Abstract
In the current study, the bio-adsorption potential of Callinectes sapidus biomass for control of cadmium, nickel, and lead from the aqueous stream was assessed. Spectrum analysis of FTIR, AFM, EDAX, mapping, SEM, TEM, and XRF was used to study the properties of the C. sapidus biomass. The XRF analysis revealed that C. sapidus bio-adsorbent has various effective metal oxides that can be useful to adsorb pollutants. The best model to describe the equilibrium data was Freundlich isotherm. The Langmuir bio-adsorption capacity was reported at 31.44 mg g-1, 29.23 mg g-1, and 29.15 mg g-1 for lead, cadmium, and nickel ions, respectively. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were studied to test the kinetic behavior of the process. An intra-particle diffusion model was used to determine the effective mechanisms involved in the bio-adsorption. Based on t1/2, it can be concluded that the equilibrium speed of the bio-adsorption process is high. The thermodynamic study showed that the metal bio-adsorption process using C. sapidus biomass is exothermic and spontaneous. The field applicability of the crab bio-adsorbent for eliminating concurrently several contaminants (metal ions, antibiotics, sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium) from an actual wastewater was successfully examined.

Abstract
In the present study, the Umbonium vestiarium snail shell (UVS) was used as an abundant and low-cost resource for the removal of Co (II) from aqueous solution. The characteristics of calcined Umbonium vestiarium snail shell (CUVS) were analyzed using FTIR, SEM, MAP, EDAX, and BET analyses. The results showed that the specific surface area of the CUVS was obtained 17.02 m2/g which was an acceptable amount. The presence of Co (II) in the adsorbent structure was confirmed by EDAX, and Map analyses after Co (II) adsorption showed that the adsorbent successfully adsorbed Co (II) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters such as, contact time, initial concentration of cobalt ion, the adsorbent dose, and pH value was also investigated. The maximum efficiency of cobalt ion adsorption was measured 93.87% at a pH value of 6, contact time of 80 min, the adsorbent dose of 3 g/L, and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L. Also, Langmuir, Freundlich, and D-R isotherm models were used to determine the most appropriate isotherm model for cobalt ion adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium data were better fitted with the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 93.46 mg/g. Additionally, the average free energy of adsorption was evaluated in the amount of 1.4085 KJ/mol, revealing a physical adsorption. Moreover, the kinetic behavior study showed that the experimental data follow the pseudo second order kinetic model to the value of correlation coefficient.

Abstract
Pectin-guar gum biosorbent was tested for zinc(II) ions removal in column process. Sorption–desorption experiments were performed in laboratory and at larger scale. The breakthrough and elution curves were obtained for various conditions. The Bed Depth Service Time model was tested for utility in data estimation. Possibility of sorbent reuse and its lifetime was examined in 20 repeated sorption–desorption cycles. Finally, tests were repeated for real wastewater from galvanizing plant, giving satisfactory results. The effectiveness of Zn(II) sorption happened to be dependent on process parameters; tests have proved that it increased with increasing bed height and with decreasing flow rate or grain size. For an initial zinc concentration of 30 mg/L, even 2096 mL of zinc solution could be purified in small scale experiment (2 g of fine grain sorbent and flow rate 60 mL/h) or 5900 L in large-scale (16 kg of large grain sorbent and flow rate 45 L/h). This allowed for 40-fold or 49-fold zinc increases in concentration in one sorption–desorption cycle. The most successful results are meant that at least 20 sorption–desorption cycles could be performed on one portion of biosorbent without loss of its effectiveness, large-scale tests for real wastewater from galvanizing plant gave satisfactory results, and that the form and mechanical stability of our sorbent is suitable for column usage with flow rates applicable in industry.

Abstract
In this article, the data of heavy metals phytoremediation efficiency were provided. The Azolla was collected from the lake around the Rasht city and washed in tap water, then weighed (0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g), and kept for 15 days in the 100 ml disposable container in the presence 5, 10 and 25 mg/L of lead, nickel and cadmium ions. The samples were stored in polyethylene containers for analysis of the metal concentration with ICP-OES. According to the results, removal efficiency was increased from 40% to 70% at 10 days along with the increasing of the biomass from 2.0 to 8.0 g. The removal efficiency of Ni (II), Cd (II), and Pb (II) were increased by increasing the contact time up to 10 days. The removal efficiency decreased by increasing of the metals concentration from 5 to 25 mg/L. The highest removal efficiency was observed at heavy metals concentrations of 5 mg/L and contact time of 10 days. Results showed that Azolla had a high potential for the removal of heavy metals from water resources and it can be used in phytoremediation of heavy metals in environmental refinement projects.

Abstract
In this study, brown algae-modified biomass Padina sanctae crucis was used for copper (Cu(II)) and cobalt (Co(II)) heavy metal ions adsorption in synthetic wastewater. The effects of solution pH and adsorption efficiency for Cu(II) and Co(II) removal from aqueous solutions were studied. In order to study the kinetic behavior of adsorption, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order kinetic models, liquid film penetration, and Ritchie second-order models were used. The results showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was able to describe adsorbent behavior in comparison to the other models. Moreover, in order to study adsorbent equilibrium behavior, Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal models were used. Based on the Langmuir model, the adsorption capacity of Co(II) and Cu(II) was determined and their values were 13.73 and 13.996 mg/g, respectively. It was shown that both metal ions adsorption process is favorable and adsorption is physical. In this research, thermodynamic parameters were also studied in order to determine Gibbs free energy for both metal ions which were negative, indicating that metal ions adsorption process is spontaneous and the degree of self-adsorption increases as temperature increases.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The presence of dyes in the water is toxic and harmful to human body so, it must be removed from the water. In the present study, the removal of methyl violet (MV) from aqueous solutions using brown algae “Padina sanctae-crucis” was investigated.
Materials and methods
The rate of adsorption was investigated under various parameters such as contact time (5–200), pH (2–11), dye concentration (10–60 mg/L), amount of adsorbent (0.25–5 g/L) and temperature (25–45°C).
Results
The maximum adsorption was achieved in 10 mg/L, pH=8 and adsorbent dose 2 g/L and 80 min contact time for removal of MV from aqueous solutions. Kinetic studies showed that the pseudo second-order model describes adsorbent kinetic behavior better. Besides, experimental data have been modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the results showed that both models are proper to describe adsorption isotherm behavior. In addition, the equilibrium study shows that the adsorption was physical and favorable. Moreover, a thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneously in nature. Furthermore, Maximum adsorption capacity using adsorbent was 10.02 mg/g.
Conclusions
It could be concluded that the P. sanctae-crucis biomass is a good adsorbent for removing MV dyes from aqueous solutions.

Zinc Ion Removal on Hybrid Pectin-Based Beads Containing Modified Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Waste. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22122274. [PMID: 29261140 PMCID: PMC6149697 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22122274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2017] [Revised: 12/13/2017] [Accepted: 12/16/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A new hybrid sorbent in the form of round beads containing modified poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) waste immobilized in pectin and crosslinked with calcium ions was prepared. A previously obtained and characterized powdered poly(methyl methacrylate)-based sorbent was used. Batch and column studies on the new material's sorption-desorption properties were performed. Two kinetic models (pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order) and three isotherms (Langmuir, Langmuir bisite and Freundlich) were used to describe the results. Breakthrough and elution curves were also obtained. Nitric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acid of various concentrations were used in the desorption studies. Higher sorption affinity of zinc(II) ions to hybrid sorbent than to pectin alone, reflected by higher values of the Langmuir and Freundlich model parameters, was observed. The maximum sorption capacities, calculated based on the best-fitted models, were 50.2 mg/g (Langmuir bisite) and 42.2 mg/g (Langmuir) for hybrid and only pectin beads, respectively. The stripping of Zn ions using 0.1 M solutions of mineral acids was similarly effective in the case of both sorbents. The mass balance calculated for the column studies showed about 100% recovery of zinc in a sorption-desorption cycle. By applying the hybrid sorbent under the studied conditions it is possible to purify Zn in water to the level permitted by law and concentrate Zn(II) ions by about 60 times.

Abstract
The previously-obtained and characterized hybrid pectin-based beads containing agar-agar and guar gum, as well as sole pectin beads (P, for comparison) were examined for zinc ions sorption and desorption properties. The sorption kinetics and equilibrium in the studied system was described by two kinetic models (pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order) and two isotherms (Langmuir and Freundlich), respectively. The desorption kinetics and equilibrium was also investigated by applying various inorganic acids (nitric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acid) of various concentrations. In the case of guar gum additive, no significant change in sorption capacity compared to sole pectin beads was observed (q: 37.0 ± 2.6 and 34.7 ± 2.0 mg/g, respectively). Addition of agar-agar significantly decreased the sorption capacity to 22.3 ± 1.0 mg/g, but stripping of zinc(II) ions from this biosorbent was complete even with very diluted acids (0.01 M). Total desorption of zinc from sole pectin and pectin-guar gum beads required acid solution of higher concentration (0.1 M). Sorption rates for all biosorbents are roughly the same and maximum sorption is achieved after 4–5 h. Obtained results and the advantage of our sorbent’s shape formation ability, make the pectin-based biosorbents interesting alternative for zinc(II) ions removal.
