[PMID: 38024686 PMCID: PMC10652372 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we address two concerns at once: waste reduction and the development of a lead removal adsorbent. The potential of Lupinus albus seed hull (LSH) powder as an efficient, innovative, and economical adsorbent for Pb(II) absorption was examined in this study. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy investigations were used to determine the structural and morphological properties of the LSH adsorbent. The adsorption process was studied in batch mode with multiple process variables (adsorbent dosage of 4.0-20 g/L; solution pH of 1.5-5.5; contact time of 15-70 min). By fitting the equilibrium data to the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) was 357.14 mg/g at optimized pH (5.5), LSH dose (0.4 g), and interaction time (60 min) with starting Pb(II) concentration of 50 mg L-1. As for the reaction kinetics, the pseudo-second-order model was shown to be a convenient match. LSH can be reused after four desorption/adsorption cycles and has a high potential for eliminating Pb(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
Avocado is one of the most important fruits with a high nutritional content; this fruit is consumed and cultivated worldwide. It is originally grown in Central America and the West Indies islands. But it is now cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Avocado waste is an abundantly available raw material that can be converted into adsorbents to remove different pollutants from aqueous solutions. This review article explores the utilization of avocado waste as raw material to develop an efficient adsorbent and its use against various toxicants. Many research papers have been published on the use of avocado waste-derived adsorbents in the recent past. The factors that affect the adsorption processes are examined in light of published references. Some critical adsorption parameters, such as equilibrium (isotherms), kinetics, and thermodynamics, have been reported in the published literature; these parameters and their data are critically discussed. The characterization, mechanism, and surface chemistry of avocado waste-derived adsorbents are also discussed. To date, no review article on avocado waste-derived adsorbents is available, where researchers can get an overview of the preparation, characterization, and adsorption attributes of avocado waste adsorbents against various pollutants. Recent literature demonstrates the effective utilization of avocado waste as a cleaner and sustainable raw material for the production of adsorbents.

Abstract
The concentrations of heavy metal ions found in waterways near industrial zones are often exceed the prescribed limits, posing a continued danger to the environment and public health. Therefore, greater attention has been devoted into finding the efficient solutions for adsorbing heavy metal ions. This review paper focuses on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from biomass and their application in the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Techniques to produce CNTs, benefits of modification with various functional groups to enhance sorption uptake, effects of operating parameters, and adsorption mechanisms are reviewed. Adsorption occurs via physical adsorption, electrostatic interaction, surface complexation, and interaction between functional groups and heavy metal ions. Moreover, factors such as pH level, CNTs dosage, duration, temperature, ionic strength, and surface property of adsorbents have been identified as the common factors influencing the adsorption of heavy metals. The oxygenated functional groups initially present on the surface of the modified CNTs are responsible towards the adsorption enhancement of commonly-encountered heavy metals such as Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, and Cr6+. Despite the recent advances in the application of CNTs in environmental clean-up and pollution treatment have been demonstrated, major obstacles of CNTs such as high synthesis cost, the agglomeration in the post-treated solutions and the secondary pollution from chemicals in the surface modification, should be critically addressed in the future studies for successful large-scale applications of CNTs.

Abstract
Water treatment using activated carbon is widely accepted, despite its high production cost. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the potential of cassava stem in activated carbon form for methylene blue (MB) dye uptake from water. Raw cassava stem (RCS) was also utilized to evaluate the difference between cassava stem in its raw form and after being converted to the activated carbon (ACS). The MB adsorption from water using the RCS and ACS was done in this study. The batch adsorption study showed fast MB uptake by ACS at 60 min contact time, while higher adsorbent dosage and higher pH contributed to higher adsorption percentage. The thermodynamic study showed positive values of ∆H° of ACS, indicating that the adsorption process of MB was endothermic. Meanwhile, the negative value of ∆G° showed that the adsorption processes of MB were spontaneous. The thermodynamic study showed higher fitting to Langmuir isotherm, with data from the kinetic study showing better pseudo-second-order equation fitting, which suggests the chemisorption process had happened. The highest adsorption recorded by ACS was 384.61 mg/g, indicating the possibility of cassava stem as the lower cost raw material for activated carbon production with excellent adsorption characteristics.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the adsorption characteristics of malachite green (MG) dye onto the raw (RLAPW) and activated (ALAPW) surface of Lupinus albus seed peel waste prepared via physicochemical activation under alkaline condition as a dye adsorbent. Proximate analysis, surface area (Sears’ method), point of zero charge (pHzpc), and FTIR analysis were used to characterize the adsorbents. The effects of operational parameters such as pH (4) for ALAPW and pH (6) for RLAPW, adsorbent dose (0.2 g), initial dye concentration (30 mg/L), contact time (60 min), and temperature (298 K) were optimized. The experimental data well fitted with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm with the adsorption capacity of 7.3 mg/g for activated Lupinus albus seed peel waste (ALAPW) and Sips isotherm for raw Lupinus albus seed peel waste (RLAPW) with the adsorption capacity of 6.6 mg/g. The kinetics data well fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both adsorbents. Thermodynamic study revealed that the bioadsorption process using bioadsorbents was spontaneous and exothermic in nature. Desorption experiment was conducted and showed desorption efficiency at an acidic pH of 2. The results showed that the prepared adsorbents exhibited good adsorption capacity and can be used as an alternative adsorbent for the adsorptive removal of malachite green dyes.

Abstract
Nano-alumina-doped catechol formaldehyde polymeric composite was prepared, characterized, and applied as an adsorbent for the removal of an anionic dye Congo red (CR) and a cationic dye SafraninO (SF), by adsorption process especially from aqueous solutions. Characterizations such as particle size distribution, zeta potential, BET, FTIR, and FESEM-EDAX were carried out for the adsorbent prepared. All experiments were conducted at the batch condition to study the effects of initial dye concentration (CR: 30–90 mg/L and SF: 10–50 mg/L), pH (2–11), temperature (25–55°C), and adsorbent dosage (0.05–0.3 g) on dye removal. The isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin) were analyzed for this adsorption work. The kinetic data obtained were analyzed by the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Bangham, and Chien–Clayton equations. Dyes adsorption data were well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm equilibrium model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Study results suggested that the nano-alumina-polymeric composite could be an effective adsorbent for anionic dye rather than cationic dye.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) was successfully prepared from low-cost forestry fir bark (FB) waste using KOH activation method. Morphology and texture properties of ACFB were studied by scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopies (SEM and HRTEM), respectively. The resulting fir bark-based activated carbon (ACFB) demonstrated high surface area (1552 m2 g-1) and pore volume (0.84 cm3 g-1), both of which reflect excellent potential adsorption properties of ACFB towards methylene blue (MB). The effect of various factors, such as pH, initial concentration, adsorbent content as well as adsorption duration, was studied individually. Adsorption isotherms of MB were fitted using all three nonlinear models (Freundlich, Langmuir and Tempkin). The best fitting of MB adsorption results was obtained using Freundlich and Temkin. Experimental results showed that kinetics of MB adsorption by our ACFB adsorbent followed pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 330 mg g-1, which indicated that FB is an excellent raw material for low-cost production of AC suitable for cationic dye removal.
