Abstract
The fibers from four wheat varieties (FT, XW 26, XW 45, and KW 1701) were selected and chemically modified with NaOH, epichlorohydrin, and dimethylamine to improve the adsorption capacity for anionic dye. The structure of the fibers with or without modification was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. The modified products were studied from the aspects of adsorption capacities, adsorption kinetics, and thermodynamics to provide a reference for the utilization of wheat bran. By SEM, more porous and irregular structures were found on the modified fibers. The XRD results showed that the crystals from the original fibers were destroyed in the modification process. The changes in fibers' infrared spectra before and after modification suggested that quaternary ammonium salts were probably formed in the modification process. The maximum adsorption capacity of wheat bran fibers for Congo red within 120 min was 20 mg/g for the unmodified fiber (XW 26) and 93.46 mg/g for the modified one (XW 45). The adsorption kinetics of Congo red by modified wheat bran fiber was in accord with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C, indicating that the adsorption process might be mainly dominated by chemisorption. The adsorption was more consistent with the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, implying that this process was monolayer adsorption. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption occurred spontaneously, and the temperature increase was favorable to the adsorption. As mentioned above, this study proved that the wheat bran fiber could possess good adsorption capacities for anion dye after chemical modification.

A review on sustainable management of biomass: physicochemical modification and its application for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants-challenges, opportunities, and future directions. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:36492-36531. [PMID: 38748350 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33375-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Adsorption is one of the most efficient methods for remediating industrial recalcitrant wastewater due to its simple design and low investment cost. However, the conventional adsorbents used in adsorption have several limitations, including high cost, low removal rates, secondary waste generation, and low regeneration ability. Hence, the focus of the research has shifted to developing alternative low-cost green adsorbents from renewable resources such as biomass. In this regard, the recent progress in the modification of biomass-derived adsorbents, which are rich in cellulosic content, through a variety of techniques, including chemical, physical, and thermal processes, has been critically reviewed in this paper. In addition, the practical applications of raw and modified biomass-based adsorbents for the treatment of industrial wastewater are discussed extensively. In a nutshell, the adsorption mechanism, particularly for real wastewater, and the effects of various modifications on biomass-based adsorbents have yet to be thoroughly studied, despite the extensive research efforts devoted to their innovation. Therefore, this review provides insight into future research needed in wastewater treatment utilizing biomass-based adsorbents, as well as the possibility of commercializing biomass-based adsorbents into viable products.

[PMID: 38266892 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118218] [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: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
The contamination of water with organic pollutants such as dyes and phenols is a serious environmental problem, requiring effective treatment methods. In the present study, a novel nanocomposite was synthesized by intercalating graphene oxide and bentonite clay into MgFeAl-layered triple hydroxide (GO/BENT/LTH), which was characterized using different techniques. The adsorption efficacy of the GO/BENT/LTH nanocomposite was assessed via the removal of two harmful organic water pollutants, namely methyl orange (MO) and 2-nitrophenol (2NP). The obtained results revealed that the maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) of MO and 2NP reached 3106.3 and 2063.5 mg/g, respectively, demonstrating the excellent adsorption performance of the nanocomposite. Furthermore, this study examined the effects of contact time, initial MO and 2NP concentrations, pH, and temperature of the wastewater samples on the adsorptive removal of MO and 2NP by the GO/BENT/LTH nanocomposite. The pH, zeta potential, and FTIR investigations suggested the presence of more than one adsorption mechanism. Thermodynamic investigations elucidated the exothermic nature of the adsorption of MO and 2NP onto the GO/BENT/LTH nanocomposite, with MO adsorption being more sensitive to temperature change. Additionally, regeneration studies revealed a marginal loss in the MO and 2NP removal with the repetitive use of the GO/BENT/LTH nanocomposite, demonstrating its reusability. Overall, the findings of this study reveal the promise of the GO/BENT/LTH nanocomposite for effective water decontamination.

Abstract
With the progression of civilization, the harmony within nature has been disrupted, giving rise to various ecocidal activities that are evident in every spheres of the earth. These activities have had a profound and far-reaching impact on global health. One significant example of this is the presence of fluoride in groundwater exceeding acceptable limits, resulting in the widespread occurrence of "Fluorosis" worldwide. It is imperative to mitigate the concentration of fluoride in drinking water to meet safety standards. While various defluoridation techniques exist, they often have drawbacks. Biosorption, being a simple, affordable and eco-friendly method, has gained preference for defluoridation. However, its limited commercialization underscores the pressing need for further research in this domain. This comprehensive review article offers a thorough examination of the defluoridation potential of agro-based adsorbents, encompassing their specific chemical compositions and preparation methods. The review presents an in-depth discussion of the factors influencing fluoride biosorption and conducts a detailed exploration of adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetic models to gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the adsorption process. Furthermore, it evaluates the commercial viability through an assessment of regeneration potential and a cost analysis of these agro-adsorbents, with the aim of facilitating the scalability of the defluoridation process. The elucidation of the adsorption mechanism and recommendations for overcoming challenges in large-scale implementation offer a comprehensive outlook on this eco-friendly and sustainable approach to fluoride removal. In summary, this review article equips readers with a lucid understanding of agro-adsorbents, elucidates their ideal conditions for improved performance, offers a more profound insight into the fluoride biosorption mechanism, and introduces the concept of effective spent adsorbent management.

Abstract
In this contribution, a bio-nanocomposite hydrogel film (CS/XG.SiO2) of chitosan/silica NPs-modified xanthan gum was prepared via a facile solution casting blending approach and utilized to capture the anionic methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution. A Taguchi standard method was used to optimize the hydrogel nanocomposite synthesis reaction conditions after comprehensive characterization using various techniques. Under various operating parameters, the hydrogel biofilm was tested for its effectiveness in adsorbing MO dye in a batch process. In agreement with Langmuir isotherm, the CS/XG.SiO2 biofilm was capable of adsorbing MO at a maximum capacity of 294 mg/g at pH 5.30, contact time 45 min, temperature 25 °C, and concentration (C0) 50 mg/L. Pseudo-second-order model and adsorption kinetics data well matched. The thermodynamic data indicate that adsorption occurred spontaneously and exothermically. The main mechanisms driving the adsorption are electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding between the CS/XG.SiO2 nanocomposite and the dye. Furthermore, the biofilm is regenerative, allowing for up to five reuses while maintaining a 75 % dye removal efficiency. This study highlights that the CS/XG.SiO2 hydrogel nanocomposite is an inexpensive, reusable, and eco-friendly bio-adsorbent that is capable of anionic dye adsorption.

Abstract
Polystyrene (PS) is a thermoplastic polymer used in food packaging and the manufacture of trays and cups, among other applications. In this work, the preparation of a membrane by electrospinning blended sulphonated expanded PS waste and polybutylenesuccinate (PBS) is described. The fiber quality is controlled by selecting the right polymers' ratios and solvents. Investigation of the structure of the produced membranes by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance confirmed the successful sulphonation of expanded PS and the appearance of characteristic (PBS) bands in the prepared blends. Morphology study of the electrospun membranes using a scanning electron microscope revealed that the quality of the fibers is improved significantly by increasing the amount of PBS in the blend solution. Moreover, continuous and more homogenous fibers are produced by increasing the ratio of PBS to 2%. The efficiency of the prepared membranes in dye removal was tested using methylene blue. The effects of different parameters such as, pH, contact time, temperature, and dye concentration have been studied. Also, kinetic and adsorption isotherm models as well as the durability of the prepared membranes were investigated. The membrane prepared from PSS/1% PBS demonstrated the highest dye uptake (846 mol) with good regeneration efficiency. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic and fits the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The values of activation energy for the adsorption process are 36.98, 30.70, and 43.40 kJ/mol over PSS, PSS/1% PBS and PSS/2% PBS, respectively.

Abstract
Water bodies with the dye methylene blue pose serious environmental and health risks to humans. Therefore, the creation and investigation of affordable, potential adsorbents to remove methylene blue dye from water resources as a long-term fix is one focus of the scientific community. Food plants and other carbon-source serve as a hotspot for a wider range of application on different pollutants that impact the environment and living organisms. Here, we reviewed the use of treated and untreated biosorbents made from plant waste leaves for removing the dye methylene blue from aqueous media. After being modified, activated carbon made from various plant leaves improves adsorption performance. The range of activating chemicals, activation methods, and bio-sorbent material characterisation using FTIR analysis, Barunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX), and SEM-EDX have all been covered in this review. It has been thoroughly described how the pH solution of the methylene blue dye compares to the pHPZC of the adsorbent surface. The presentation also includes a thorough analysis of the application of the isotherm model, kinetic model, and thermodynamic parameters. The selectivity of the adsorbent is the main focus of the adsorption kinetics and isotherm models. It has been studied how adsorption occurs, how surface area and pH affect it, and how biomass waste compares to other adsorbents. The use of biomass waste as adsorbents is both environmentally and economically advantageous, and it has been discovered to have exceptional color removal capabilities.

Abstract
Fig leaf, an environmentally friendly byproduct of fruit plants, has been used for the first time to treat of methylene blue dye. The fig leaf-activated carbon (FLAC-3) was prepared successfully and used for the adsorption of methylene blue dye (MB). The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). In the present study, initial concentrations, contact time, temperatures, pH solution, FLAC-3 dose, volume solution, and activation agent were investigated. However, the initial concentration of MB was investigated at different concentrations of 20, 40, 80, 120, and 200 mg/L. pH solution was examined at these values: pH3, pH7, pH8, and pH11. Moreover, adsorption temperatures of 20, 30, 40, and 50 °C were considered to investigate how the FLAC-3 works on MB dye removal. The adsorption capacity of FLAC-3 was determined to be 24.75 mg/g for 0.08 g and 41 mg/g for 0.02 g. The adsorption process has followed the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9841), where the adsorption created a monolayer covering the surface of the adsorbent. Additionally, it was discovered that the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) was 41.7 mg/g and the Langmuir affinity constant (KL) was 0.37 L/mg. The FLAC-3, as low-cost adsorbents for methylene blue dye, has shown good cationic dye adsorption performance.

Abstract
Hazardous effluents from textile industries being major contributors of water pollution and impose potential adverse effects on environment. In present study, Fe3O4 embedded oxidized Sterculia gum/Gelatin hybrid matrix have been fabricated and evaluated for enrichment of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB). Newly synthesized matrix was characterized through powdered XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM and TGA. Integrated nanoparticles improved dye enrichment and facilitated removal of matrix from the aqueous solution under the influence of magnetic field. Influence of various reaction parameters viz.: contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature & pH of the adsorption medium on dye enrichment have been evaluated. Maximum adsorption (90 % and 88 % for MO and MB respectively) has been achieved. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin adsorption isotherms have been evaluated. Experimental results validate well fitted Freundlich isotherm for MO and Temkin isotherm for MB. Adsorption kinetics has been analyzed through Pseudo first order, second order kinetic and intra particle diffusion models. Adsorption of both dyes was best explained via pseudo second order kinetic model. Negative value of Gibb's free energy change (-26.487 KJ mol -1 and - 24.262 KJ mol -1) for MB and MO at 303 K was an indication of spontaneity of the reaction.

Abstract
Neodymium (Nd) is a key rare earth element (REE) needed for the future of incoming technologies including road transport and power generation. Hereby, a sustainable adsorbent material for recovering Nd from the aqueous phase using a residue from the saccharification process is presented. Banana rachis (BR) was treated with cellulases and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to produce fermentable sugars prior to applying the final residue (BR–PEG) as an adsorbent material. BR–PEG was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), compositional analysis, pH of zero charge (pHpzc), Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A surface response experimental design was used for obtaining the optimized adsorption conditions in terms of the pH of the aqueous phase and the particle size. With the optimal conditions, equilibrium isotherms, kinetics and adsorption–desorption cycles were performed. The optimal pH and particle size were 4.5 and 209.19 μm, respectively. BR–PEG presented equilibrium kinetics after 20 min and maximum adsorption capacities of 44.11 mg/g. In terms of reusage, BR–PEG can be efficiently reused for five adsorption–desorption cycles. BR–PEG was demonstrated to be a low-cost bioresourced alternative for recovering Nd by adsorption.

Abstract
A novel approach has been undertaken wherein chemically modified wheat straw activated carbon (WSAC) as adsorbent is developed, characterized, and examined for the removal of COD and color from the cotton dyeing industry effluent. Thirty experimental runs are designed for batch reactor study using the central composite method (CCM) for optimizing process parameters, namely biochar dose, time of contact, pH, and temperature, for examining the effect on COD and color-removing efficiency of WSAC. The experimental data have been modeled using the machine learning approaches such as polynomial quadratic regression and artificial neural networks (ANN). The determined optimum conditions are pH: 7.18, time of contact: 85.229 min, adsorbent dose: 2.045 g/l, and temperature: 40.885 °C, at which the COD and color removal efficiency is 90.92 and 94.48%, respectively. The nonlinear pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic model shows good coefficient of determination (R2 ~ 1) values. The maximum adsorption capacity for COD and color by WSAC is at the pH of 7, the temperature of 40 °C, adsorbent dose of 2 g/l is obtained at the contact time of 80 min is 434.78 mg/g and 331.55 PCU/g, respectively. The COD removal and decolorization is more than 70% in the first 20 min of the experiment. The primary adsorption mechanism involves hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, n-π interactions, and cation exchange. Finally, the adsorbent is environmentally benign and cost-effective, costing 16.66% less than commercially available carbon. The result of the study indicates that WSAC is a prominent solution for treating textile effluent. The study is beneficial in reducing the pollutants from textile effluents and increasing the reuse of treated effluent in the textile industries.

Abstract
Agricultural wastes have the potential to be reused in applications such as water/wastewater treatment. Several studies have focused on activating organic waste, such as date seeds, to produce activated carbon. However, these studies have always assumed that all date seeds behave similarly to each other. In this study, we evaluated different types of date seeds and characterized their physical-chemical properties. The results showed variation in the seed-to-fruit weight percentage, ash content, and moisture content among different seed types. Different activation procedures were performed to find the optimum combination of physical and chemical interventions. KOH impregnation yielded better results than H3PO4 impregnation. The maximum adsorption capacity was measured for nine different types of date seeds, and the Khalas seed type yielded the highest methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity of 165 mg of MB/g of activated date seeds (ADS), which is 71% of the capacity of commercial activated carbon (CAC). Kinetics model was fitted to the experimental data, and the pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit, indicating that the adsorption process occurred following a chemical process rather than being controlled by intraparticle diffusion only. The results showed no significant difference among the three isotherm models used to fit the experimental data. The results indicated that there is a significant difference among various types of seeds regarding adsorption performance. The application of ADS in treating synthetic produced water showed that its performance is one third that of CAC. ADS showed promising potential in comparison with CAC, mostly considering the costs involved with CAC.

Abstract
The development of economic and recyclable adsorbents for removing pollutants from contaminated water is gaining increasing attention. Agro residue or nature-based material sourced absorbents could revolutionize the future of wastewater treatment. Hence in this study, nanocellulose was synthesized from coconut husk fiber and immobilized onto chitosan to form hydrogel beads. The BET surface area and zeta potential of the adsorbent nanocrystalline cellulose-chitosan hydrogel (NCC-CH) bead was 25.77 m2 g-1 and +50.6 mV, respectively. The functional group analysis also confirmed that the adsorbent had functional groups appropriate for the adsorption of textile dyes. The adsorption performance of NCC-CH and also the influence of initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, and contact time was evaluated by batch adsorption studies with crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) dyes. The most favorable operational conditions achieved through I-optimal design in response surface methodology were 0.5 g NCC-CH, 1 h, 9 pH, and 60 mg L-1 for CV removal (94.75%) and 0.13 g NCC-CH, 1 h, 9 pH, and 30 mg L-1 for MB removal (95.88%). The polynomial quadratic model fits the experimental data with an R 2 value of 0.99 and 0.98 for CV and MB removal, respectively. The optimum depiction of the isotherm data was obtained using the Freundlich model for MB adsorption and Freundlich and Langmuir model for CV adsorption. The Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm was also a good fit to the adsorption of CV and MB dye, suggesting the physisorption due to its free energy of adsorption < 8 kJ mol-1. The kinetics were effectively explained by a pseudo-second order model for both the dyes suggesting that chemical mechanisms influenced the adsorption of CV and MB dyes onto NCC-CH. The intraparticle diffusion model best suited the MB adsorption with three stages rather than the CV with a single step process. Also, the removal efficiency of adsorbent was retained at above 60% even after seven adsorption-desorption cycles indicating the effectiveness of the NCC-CH hydrogel beads for the removal of textile dyes.

Abstract
In the quest for a sustainable environment and clean water resources, the efficacy of activated carbons synthesized from Garcinia cola nut shells impregnated with KOH (CBK1/1) and ZnCl2 (CBZ1/1) for the adsorption of indigo carmine (IC) dye was studied using the batch technique. The prepared activated carbons were characterized using iodine number, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), TGA/DTA, Boehm titration, and pH at point of zero charge. The elemental analysis showed a high percentage of carbon in both activated carbons (ACs). FTIR and Boehm titration analysis indicated the presence of several functional groups on the surfaces of both ACs which could influence the adsorption of IC. The primary adsorption mechanisms involved electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonds formation, and π−π interactions. Maximum adsorption capacity values obtained using the Fritz–Schlunder III three-parameter model were 19.019 mg·g−1 and 18.299 mg·g−1 for CBK1/1 and CBZ1/1, respectively. The Fritz–Schlunder model exponent mFS of value less than 1 showed that the adsorption of IC by the ACs occurred on heterogeneous surfaces. Positive values of ∆Q obtained by the linear and nonlinear forms of the Temkin model indicate the exothermic character of the adsorption process.

Abstract
Management of basic natural resources and the spent industrial and domestic streams to provide a sustainable safe environment for healthy living is a magnum challenge to scientists and environmentalists. The present remedial approach to the wastewater focuses on recovering pure water for reuse and converting the contaminants into a solid matrix for permanent land disposal. However, the ground water aquifers, over a long period slowly leach the contaminants consequently polluting the ground water. Synthetic adsorbents, mainly consisting of polymeric resins, chelating agents, etc. are efficient and have high specificity, but ultimate disposal is a challenge as most of these materials are non-biodegradable. In this context, it is felt appropriate to review the utility of adsorbents based on natural green materials such as agricultural waste and restricted to few model contaminants: phenols, and heavy metals chromium(VI), and cadmium(II) in view of the vast amount of literature available. The article discusses the features of the agricultural waste material-based adsorbents including the mechanism. It is inferred that agricultural waste materials are some of the common renewable sources available across the globe and can be used as sustainable adsorbents. A discussion on challenges for industrial scale implementation and integration with advanced technologies like magnetic-based approaches and nanotechnology to improve the removal efficiency is included for future prospects.

Abstract
Industrial contaminants such as dyes and intermediates are released into water bodies, making the water unfit for human use. At the same time large amounts of food wastes accumulate near the work places, residential complexes etc. polluting the air due to putrefaction. The need of the hour lies in finding innovative solutions for dye removal from wastewater streams. In this context, the article emphasizes adoption or conversion of food waste materials, an ecological nuisance, as adsorbents for the removal of dyes from wastewaters. Adsorption, being a well-established technique, the review critically examines the specific potential of food waste constituents as dye adsorbents. The efficacy of food waste-based adsorbents is examined, besides addressing the possible adsorption mechanisms and the factors affecting phenomenon such as pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dosage, particle size, and ionic strength. Integration of information and communication technology approaches with adsorption isotherms and kinetic models are emphasized to bring out their role in improving overall modeling performance. Additionally, the reusability of adsorbents has been highlighted for effective substrate utilization. The review makes an attempt to stress the valorization of food waste materials to remove dyes from contaminated waters thereby ensuring long-term sustainability.

Abstract
The present work investigates the primary adsorption mechanisms of lead (II) and cadmium (II) cations onto pomelo fruit peel (PFP) from aqueous solution. pH, adsorption time, ion strength, and initial metal cation concentrations, which are factors affecting the uptake of these cations, are investigated. Results show that pH and ion strengths strongly affect the removal of these cations from aqueous solution. Different isotherm adsorption models, such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips, are utilized to fit the experimental data in order to determine the adsorption in nature. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities are found to be 47.18 mg/g for lead (II) and 13.35 mg/g for cadmium (II). Kinetic and thermodynamic studies based on a combination of FT-IR and TG-DSC spectroscopies demonstrate that electrostatic attraction plays a primary adsorption mechanism of lead (II) and cadmium (II) cations onto pomelo fruit peel.

Abstract
Trapa natans peels (TNPs) and Citrullus lanatus peels (CLPs) were utilized for the biosorptive removal of brilliant green dye (BGD), after modifying with citric acid. Characterization and surface morphology were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. For the removal of BGD by citric acid-treated Trapa natans peels (CA-TNPs), the optimum conditions were obtained with adsorbent dose 0.8 g, contact time 25 minutes, initial pH 5, temperature 30°C, and agitation speed 100 rpm, while for the citric acid-treated Citrullus lanatus peels (CA-CLPs), adsorbent dose 0.8 g, contact time 20 minutes, pH 5, temperature 30°C, and agitation speed 100 rpm gave optimum results. The qmax values obtained were 108.6, 128, 144.9, and 188.68 mg/g for R-TNP, CA-TNP, R-CLP, and CA-CLP, respectively, while the correlation coefficient (R2) values obtained were 0.985, 0.986, 0.985, and 0.998 for R-TNP, CA-TNP, R-CLP, and CA-CLP, respectively. These favor the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, with negative (ΔG0) values of all adsorbents, determining that the adsorption phenomenon is exothermic and spontaneous in nature. Both citric acid-treated peels of Trapa natans and Citrullus lanatus were found suitable for bulk-scale eradication of hazardous, toxic, and carcinogenic basic cationic dyes.

Abstract
The challenges associated with the uncontrolled presence of antibiotics such as tetracycline in the environment have necessitated their removal through different techniques. Tetracycline is hard to degrade in living organisms and can even be converted to more toxic substances. In view of this, we synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles with good magnetization (70 emu g−1) and 15 nm particle size for the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline. Characterization carried out on the synthesized iron oxides revealed a bandgap of 1.83 eV and an isoelectric point at pH 6.8. The results also showed that the pH of the solution does not directly influence the adsorption of tetracycline. The adsorption isotherm was consistent with the model proposed by Langmuir, having 97 mg g−1 adsorption capacity. Combined with the superparamagnetic behavior, this capacity is advantageous for the magnetic extraction of tetracycline from wastewater. The mechanisms of adsorption were proposed to be hydrogen bonding and n-π interactions. Photocatalytic degradation studies showed that approximately 40% of tetracycline degraded within 60 min of irradiation time with UV/vis light. The kinetics of photodegradation of tetracycline followed the pseudo-first-order mechanism, proceeding through hydroxyl radicals generated under illumination. Moreover, the photogenerated hydrogen peroxide could lead to heterogeneous photo-Fenton processes on the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles, additionally generating hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl radicals and facilitating photodegradation of tetracycline.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) over particulate durian peel waste, which is chemically activated with hydrogen peroxide. The equilibrium data are well described by the Freundlich isotherm model, which indicates that the MB adsorption takes place predominantly on multilayers and heterogeneous surfaces of the biosorbent. The Freundlich adsorption constants, KF and n, are 11.06 L/g and 2.94, respectively. Thermodynamic data suggest that the MB adsorption occurs spontaneously and endothermically. The enthalpy and entropy for the MB adsorption are obtained as 10.26 kJ/mol and 0.058 kJ/mol K, respectively, in the temperature range of 303-323 K. Based on the stepwise desorption method, the adsorption of MB is dominated by physical interactions, particularly hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
The present research was devoted to water decontamination through the valorization of cellulosic fibers for the preparation of performing biosorbent, with high pollutant-uptake capacity and low cost. Luffa cylindrica (L.C) and zinc oxide were chosen for the synthesis of hybrid materials by precipitation with and without alternating current (AC). AC was used as a new alternative able to accelerate the reaction kinetics and to enhance the biosorption speed. The potential to remove phenol, from aqueous solution by coupling biosorption and AC, was highlighted. Pure L.C and hybrid materials (L.C + 4% Zn2+) synthesized with and without AC were chosen for the biosorption tests. The effects of pH, initial concentration, frequency, and contact time were studied. The efficiency of the coupling process was evaluated according to the quality of the treated water before and after purification. Results have shown that the percentages of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), germination indexes, and phenol removals have increased when adopting the coupling process. The maximal uptakes of phenol reached 15.4, 28.07, and 28.9 mg g-1 for a concentration of 30 mg L-1 of phenol, respectively, for raw L.C, L.C + 4% Zn2+ + AC, and L.C + 4% Zn2+ at pH = 2. Quantitative and qualitative characterizations confirmed the efficiency of the synthesized hybrid materials compared with pure L.C. The fractal model of Brouers Sotolongo was chosen for the description of the random distribution of the active sites. The kinetic and isotherm data showed a good correlation with the experimental results.

Abstract
Alumina-zirconia (Al2O3-ZrO2) composite was prepared by combustion method and used to remove Congo red and Methylene blue from aqueous solutions. It was characterized using SEM-EDS, XRD and gas adsorption techniques. The results obtained from gas adsorption and SEM agree with each other, showing meso- and macro-porosity of inter-agglomerate pores. The removal of the two dyes was pH dependent, acidic pH favoured Congo red removal, while basic pH favoured Methylene blue. The, mechanism of adsorption was not limited to electrostatic attraction between the adsorbent and the dye molecules. Adsorption kinetic of both dyes was consistent with Pseudo-second-order model. The data obtained fitted to Langmuir and Liu isotherm models, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 57. 50 and 53.44 mg g-1 for Congo red and Methylene blue, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic. The mechanism of adsorption was elucidated using XRD and FTIR techniques.

Abstract
Abstract
This study reports solution combustion synthesis of magnesia nanoparticles (nMgO) using magnesium nitrate as oxidiser and glycerol as fuel. Size, morphology, crystal structure and surface properties of synthesised nMgO were analysed by PXRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR and Point of Zero Charge. The XRD pattern of nMgO confirmed prepared samples were single cubic-phase without any impurities. TEM analysis proved nMgO was in nano regime with an average particle diameter of 20–40 nm. FTIR spectra show the presence of characteristic peaks of nMgO and support the XRD results. The prepared nMgO was employed as an adsorbent for the removal of two anionic dyes viz. Indigo Carmine (IC) and Orange G (OG). Furthermore, various adsorption isotherms and kinetic models were performed to understand the kinetics and mechanism of the adsorption process. Experimental results demonstrated that the adsorption equilibrium data fit well to Sips isotherm (R2 > 0.98) and the saturated adsorption capacities of nMgO were found to be 262 mg g−1 for IC and 126 mg g−1 for OG. Adsorption kinetics analysis revealed that the adsorption followed pseudo-first-order model, with both film and pore diffusion governing the rate of adsorption. Excellent adsorption capacity combined with efficient regeneration proved the potential of the prepared nMgO as an adsorbent for the removal of harmful dyes from industrial effluent.

Abstract
This research evaluated the adsorption of celestine blue (CB) onto a novel Solanum tuberosum waste-magnetite nanocomposite (Mt@STB), prepared by an ecofriendly impregnation of magnetite (Mt) nanoparticles onto Solanum tuberosum waste (STB). The adsorbents characterization revealed that Mt@STB had a surface area (18.92 m2/g), pHpzc (7.55), porous morphology as well as suitable functional groups for efficient sequestration of CB onto the composite. The SEM, XRD, and EDX showed successful incorporation of 31.21 nm average size Mt nanoparticles on Mt@STB. Faster kinetics of CB sequestration from the wastewater was obtained for Mt@STB (100 min) compared to STB (140 min). Among four isotherm models, the Langmuir exhibited the best fit with R2 > 0.9971 and sum square errors (SSE) < 0.0151. The pristine STB and Mt@STB composite showed maximum monolayer CEB uptake of 7.61 and 9.02 mg/g, as well as optimum removal of 73.8 and 84.7%, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model was more suitable in the kinetic description, while thermodynamics revealed a physical, spontaneous, and endothermic CB uptake. Besides, the efficacy of the composite for CB was confirmed from efficient regeneration over three adsorption/desorption cycles, which specified the viability of Mt@STB as a sustainable material for the decontamination of CB polluted water. NOVELTY STATEMENT The adsorption of dyes from wastewaters has been widely studied due to the harmful effects on the ecosystem. However, research on the removal of celestine blue (CB) dye is rare despite its wide use in the nuclear and textile industries. Until date, there is no report on the adsorption of CB on biomaterial via biosorption. Therefore, the biosorption behavior of CB is presently unknown. Hence, this study reports the biosorption of CB onto a biosorbent (Solanum tuberosum peel [STB]) in an attempt to understand its biosorption behavior. Besides, the impregnation of magnetite (Mt) nanoparticles has been reported to enhance the uptake of most adsorbents for dye. To the best of our knowledge, such magnetic nanoparticle impregnation of STB has not been reported. We, therefore, synthesized a novel biowaste-magnetite composite (Mt@STB) and evaluated its potentials for the uptake as well as its reuse for CB biosorption.

Abstract
In this study, we have investigated the removal efficiency of two organic pollutants: methylene blue (MB) and Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) dyes by using a brown marine alga abundantly available on the Moroccan coastlines called Bifurcaria bifurcata (Bif-Bcata). During the experiments that were conducted in batch mode, we have studied the effect of some parameters such as pH, Bif-Bcata mass, contact time, and initial dye concentration in order to optimize the most suitable biosorption conditions. The biosorption tests on Bif-Bcata showed that the equilibrium is reached after 15 min for both dyes MB and RB19. The optimal pH values are 5.6 and 1.0 for MB and RB19, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that the biosorption of both dyes follows the pseudo-second-order model. The biosorption isotherms demonstrated that the Langmuir model is the most appropriate to describe the biosorption equilibrium for both dyes MB and RB19 with maximum biosorption capacities reaching 2744.5 mg/g for MB and 88.7 mg/g for RB19. According to these results, it is clear that Bif-Bcata can be considered a promising biomaterial to be used as an effective biosorbent for the elimination of cationic and anionic dyes from textile effluents.

Abstract
Blueberry (BB) and cherry pomace were investigated as new biosorbents for aflatoxins (AFs) sequestration from buffered solutions, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Among the tested biosorbents, BB exhibited the maximum adsorption performance for AFs and hence was further selected for the optimization of experimental parameters like pH, dosage, time and initial concentration of AFs. Material characterizations via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isothermal studies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) techniques revealed useful information about the texture and chemical composition of the biosorbents. The fitting of isothermal data with different models showed the model suitability trend as: Sips model > Langmuir model > Freundlich model, where the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Sips model was 4.6, 2.9, 2.7 and 2.4 mg/g for AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2, respectively. Kinetics study revealed the fast AFs uptake by BB (50-90 min) while thermodynamics studies suggested the exothermic nature of the AFs adsorption from both, single as well as multi-toxin buffer systems, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Accrediting to the fast and efficient adsorption performance, green and facile fabrication approach and cost-effectiveness, the newly designed BB pomace can be counted as a promising contender for the sequestration of AFs and other organic pollutants.

Abstract
Aquatic contamination of diclofenac (DCF), an emergent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), can result in adverse effects to many ecosystems through biomagnification. Hence, introducing effective remediation techniques to sequester the pharmaceutical wastes is highly fundamental to prevent their accumulation in the environment. Generally, adsorption has been presented as a green and efficient approach. Herein, we report the characterization and application of the novel magnetic nanocomposite (GO@CoFe2O4) derived from cobalt-based ferrite (CoFe2O4) and graphene oxide (GO) for DCF adsorption. For the optimization procedure, the response surface methodology (RSM) was adopted to investigate the impacts of DCF concentration (1.6-18.4 mg/L), DCF dosage (0.08-0.92 g/L), and solution pH (2.6-9.4) to find the optimum conditions for DCF removal, at 10.5 mg/L, 0.74 g/L, and pH 4, respectively. For the adsorption experiments, the kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic, and intraparticle diffusion models were systematically studied. Moreover, we have elucidated the role of functional groups on the surface of GO@CoFe2O4 in enhancing the adsorption of DCF drug. With good removal efficiency (up to 86.1%), high maximum adsorption capacity (32.4 mg/g), GO@CoFe2O4 can be a potential candidate to eliminate DCF drug from water.

Environmental impact of lignocellulosic wastes and their effective exploitation as smart carriers - A drive towards greener and eco-friendlier biocatalytic systems. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 722:137903. [PMID: 32199388 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Revised: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, lignocellulosic wastes have gathered much attention due to increasing economic, social, environmental apprehensions, global climate change and depleted fossil fuel reserves. The unsuitable management of lignocellulosic materials and related organic wastes poses serious environmental burden and causes pollution. On the other hand, lignocellulosic wastes hold significant economic potential and can be employed as promising catalytic supports because of impressing traits such as surface area, porous structure, and occurrence of many chemical moieties (i.e., carboxyl, amino, thiol, hydroxyl, and phosphate groups). In the current literature, scarce information is available on this important and highly valuable aspect of lignocellulosic wastes as smart carriers for immobilization. Thus, to fulfill this literature gap, herein, an effort has been made to signify the value generation aspects of lignocellulosic wastes. Literature assessment spotlighted that all these waste materials display high potential for immobilizing enzyme because of their low cost, bio-renewable, and sustainable nature. Enzyme immobilization has gained recognition as a highly useful technology to improve enzyme properties such as catalytic stability, performance, and repeatability. The application of carrier-supported biocatalysts has been a theme of considerable research, for the past three decades, in the bio-catalysis field. Nonetheless, the type of support matrix plays a key role in the immobilization process due to its influential impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the as-synthesized biocatalytic system. In the past, an array of various organic, inorganic, and composite materials has been used as carriers to formulate efficient and stable biocatalysts. This review is envisioned to provide recent progress and development on the use of different agricultural wastes (such as coconut fiber, sugarcane bagasse, corn and rice wastes, and Brewers' spent grain) as support materials for enzyme immobilization. In summary, the effective utilization of lignocellulosic wastes to develop multi-functional biocatalysts is not only economical but also reduce environmental problems of unsuitable management of organic wastes and drive up the application of biocatalytic technology in the industry.

Abstract
This study investigated the potential of palm kernel shell (PKS) as a biomass feed for adsorbent production. This work aims at synthesizing green adsorbent from activated PKS by integrating iron oxide and zeolite. The newly developed adsorbents, zeolite-Fe/AC and Fe/AC, were analyzed for surface area, chemical composition, magnetic properties, crystallinity, and stability. The adsorbent efficiency in removing effluent from the palm oil mill was evaluated. The influence of operating parameters, including adsorbent dosage, H2O2, reaction time, and initial solution pH for adsorption performance was studied. The Fourier transform infrared analysis revealed that the adsorbents contain functional groups including OH, N-H, C[double bond, length as m-dash]O and C[double bond, length as m-dash]C, which are essential for removing pollutants. The SEM-EDX analysis shows holes in the adsorbent surface and that it is smooth. The adsorption study revealed that under optimized conditions, by using 4 g L-1 of adsorbent and 67.7 mM H2O2, zeolite-Fe/AC was able to remove 83.1% colour and 67.2% COD within 30 min. However, Fe/AC requires 5 g L-1 of adsorbent and 87.7 mM to remove 86.8 percent and 65.6 percent, respectively. This study also showed that zeolite-Fe/AC has higher reusability compared to Fe/AC. Among Freundlich and Temkin models, the experimental data were found to be best fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetic analysis revealed that for both adsorbents, the adsorption process fitted the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 = 0.9724). The finding reflects monolayer adsorption of zeolite-Fe/AC and Fe/AC. This study thus demonstrates the applicability of low-cost green adsorbents produced from PKS to treat oil refinery effluent and other recalcitrant wastewaters.

Activated Carbons Derived from Teak Sawdust-Hydrochars for Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue, Copper, and Cadmium from Aqueous Solution. WATER 2019.

Abstract
Recycling materials from waste has been considered one of the essential principles in the context of sustainable development. In this study, we used teak sawdust as the feedstock material to synthesize activated carbon (AC) samples and evaluated the application of these ACs in the adsorption of methylene blue (MB), Cd(II), and Cu(II). The sawdust was carbonized by a hydrothermal process, followed by chemical activation using K2CO3 or ZnCl2 in various weight ratios. The AC samples produced were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photon spectroscopy, and mass titration of acidic groups. The characterization results showed that the ACs did possess a high surface area and rich oxygen-containing functional groups. The adsorptive amounts of MB, Cd(II), and Cu(II) on ACs approximately increased with the concentration of the activating agent: when the weight ratio of the carbonaceous material to ZnCl2 reached 1.75, the maximum adsorption capacities for MB, Cd(II), and Cu(II) were achieved, and the values were 614, 208, and 182 mg/g, respectively. The level of oxygen-containing functional groups was identified as an important factor in determining the adsorptive amounts. While the electrostatic force was the primary pathway that led to the adsorption of the tested contaminants onto the AC, the complexation reaction was a vital mechanism responsible for the adsorptive interaction between ACs and Cu(II). The high adsorption capacity of the synthetic ACs for MB, Cd(II), and Cu(II) demonstrated in this study points out the potential application of biomass-residue-based adsorbents prepared via a coupled hydrothermal carbonization/chemical activation process in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Herein, a facile strategy to fabricate the novel manganese oxide-imprinted mesoporous carbons (MOPCx, x presents for pyrolysis temperature) was described via the direct pyrolysis of Mn2(BDC)2(DMF)2 (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) as a self-sacrificed template at various temperatures (x = 550, 750, and 950 °C). The characterization results demonstrated the existence of MnO embedded in carbon structures with different morphologies, and enhancing surface areas (249.86-294.67 m2/g) compared with their precursor (3.59 m2/g). For methylene blue adsorption experiments, the MOPC pyrolyzed at 950 °C (MOPC950) revealed the best candidate with maximum uptake capacity (124.1 mg/g), so far higher than other MOPCx and Mn2(BDC)2(DMF)2 materials. Finally, adsorption mechanisms involving H-bond, and π-π interaction were proposed via the chemisorption between surface functional groups (carboxyl, phenol, lactone, and base).

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of applying commercial activated carbons currently used in water treatment plants and modified carbon at 400 and 800 °C in the atmosphere of air, water vapour and carbon dioxide to remove chloramphenicol. Adsorption kinetics was examined for solutions with pH of 2–10. Adsorption kinetics were determined for the initial concentration of chloramphenicol of 161 mg/dm3 and the adsorption isotherm was determined for the concentrations of 161 to 1615 mg/dm3. Of the analysed activated carbons (F-300, F-100, WG-12, ROW 08 Supra and Picabiol), the highest adsorption capacity was obtained for the use of Picabiol (214 mg/g), characterized by the highest specific surface area and pore volume. The pH value of the solution has little effect on the adsorption of chloramphenicol (the highest adsorption was found for pH = 10, qm = 190 mg/g, whereas the lowest—for pH = 6, qm = 208 mg/g). Modification of activated carbon WG-12 at 800 °C caused an increase in adsorption capacity from 195 mg/g (unmodified carbon) to 343 mg/g. A high correlation coefficient was found between the capacity of activated carbons and the total volume of micropores and mesopores. Among the examined adsorption kinetics equations (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion), the lowest values of the R2 correlation coefficient were obtained for the pseudo-first order equation. Other models with high correlation coefficient values described the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption results were modelled by means of the Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubibin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherms. For all activated carbons and process conditions, the best match to the test results was obtained using the Langmuir model, whereas the lowest was found for the Dubibin–Radushkevich model.

Abstract
This work developed an innovative activated carbon (ICAC) derived from orange peels (OP) through chemical activation using FeCl3. The traditional activated carbon (PCAC) that was prepared through K2CO3 activation served as a comparison. Three adsorbents (ICAC, PCAC, and OP) were characterized by various techniques, these being: Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, thermo-gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. They were applied to remove diclofenac from aqueous solution applying batch experiments, in order to investigate the characteristics of adsorptive kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics. Results indicated that the SBET values were in the following order: 457 m2/g (PCAC) > 184 m2/g (ICAC) > 3.56 m2/g (OP). The adsorption process reached a fast equilibrium, with activating energies being 27.6 kJ/mol (ICAC), 16.0 kJ/mol (OP), and 11.2 kJ/mol (PCAC). The Langmuir adsorption capacities at 30 °C exhibited the decreasing order: 144 mg/g (ICAC) > 6.44 mg/g (OP) > 5.61 mg/g (PCAC). The thermodynamic parameters demonstrated a signal dissimilarity between biosorbent (ΔG° <0, ΔH° <0, and ΔS° <0) and activated carbon samples (ΔG° <0, ΔH° >0, and ΔS° >0). The presence of iron (FeOCl, γ-Fe2O3, and FeOOH) on the surface of ICAC played a determining role in efficiently removing diclofenac from solution. The excellent adsorption capacity of ICAC toward diclofenac resulted presumably from the contribution of complicated adsorption mechanisms, such as hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole interaction, π-π interaction, pore filling, and possible Fenton-like degradation. Therefore, FeCl3 can serve as a promising activating agent for AC preparation with excellent efficiency in removing diclofenac.

Abstract
Pistachio wood-derived activated carbon prepared by a two-stage process (PWAC-2), conducting two consecutive chemical activation processes with NH4NO3 and NaOH, respectively. The results showed that explosive characteristic of NH4NO3 can primarily be employed to produce a char, with a large surface area and a highly-ordered pore structure, which can be subjected to a second activation process with NaOH to prepare a more suitable activated carbon, with a highly porous structure and useful functional groups, for removal of lead ions from aqueous media. An L25 Taguchi experimental design was used by varying impregnation ratio, activation time and temperature in both pre- and post-activation stages, and the results showed that, in both stages, a small activating agent/precursor and a proportional low activation time suffice for preparation of an advantageous activated carbon for Pb(II) adsorption. A comprehensive study was performed on the equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of Pb(II) adsorption by the new activated carbon. The results exhibited that, having had a high lead adsorption capacity (190.2 mg g-1), a high adsorption rapidness, and thermodynamic favorability, PWAC-2 is a beneficial alternative for utilization in full-scale plants of lead removal from waters and wastewaters.

Abstract
Glucose-derived micro-nano spherical activated carbon (GAC) was synthesized through two-stage and three-stage chemical activation processes in different impregnation ratios (K2CO3: precursor). GAC was characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm, point of zero charge, scanning electron microscope, and Fourier transform infrared. The prepared spherical GAC and commercial non-spherical AC were applied to remove a cationic dye (methylene green 5; MG5), an anionic dye (acid red 1; AR1), and phenol. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted to analyse the effects of different operation conditions (i.e. solution pH, contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, temperature, and desorbing agent) on the adsorption process. The adsorption equilibrium was rapidly reached in kinetic experiments with a removal rate of 47-83% (within 1 min). The three-stage process-synthesized GAC exhibited the highest adsorption capacity, with the maximum adsorption capacity reaching at 1365 mg/g for MG5, 562 mg/g for AR1, and 322 mg/g for phenol adsorption. The process of MG5 and AR1 adsorption was endothermic (+ΔH°), while phenol adsorption was exothermic (-ΔH°). The primary adsorption mechanism was pore filling and π-π interactions. The pore of spherical GAC might be easily enlarged than that of non-spherical AC when the temperature of solution increased. Therefore, the spherical activated carbon can server as a green promising and renewable adsorbent for efficiently remove hazardous aromatic pollutants from aquatic environment.

Abstract
The present investigation aims to prepare a hybrid material from Luffa cylindrica and metal oxides (ZnO, Al2O3) by precipitation for different percentages of zinc and aluminum (1, 2, and 4%) with a determined amount of biomass (a diameter of 250 μm). Physicochemical characterization of "Luffa cylindrica" and "Luffa cylindrica-metal oxides" was carried out by Boehm titration, pHPZC determination, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FTIR spectroscopic analysis. The process was optimized according to the adsorbed amount of methylene blue: MB (cationic dye) and methyl orange: MO (anionic dye) onto Luffa cylindrica and hybrid materials prepared. The results demonstrated the efficiency of the designed hybrid materials in removing MB and MO, accelerating the biosorption process and improving the performance of Luffa cylindrica fibers. The highest quantities adsorbed of dyes were obtained by the hybrid material prepared using 4% ZnO. Finally, the Brouers-Sotolongo mathematical modeling of kinetics was used in order to describe the pollutants retention process.

Abstract
The effects of water washing pretreatment process on the property and adsorption capacity of biochar were investigated at different biochar/water ratios from 1:5 to 1:100 (w/v). Saccharina japonica macroalgae-derived biochars (B300, B450, and B600) were prepared at 300 °C, 450 °C, and 600 °C, respectively. The optimal biochar/water ratio was obtained at 1:10. The results indicated that the washing pretreatment can contribute to dramatically increasing the specific surface area of biochars, but slightly increasing their porosity. The washed biochars were carbonaceous microporous materials (67-80% micropore volume), with their specific surface area and porosity being B600 (543 m2/g and 86%), B450 (521 m2/g and 75%), and B300 (188 m2/g and 80%), respectively. The unwashed biochars exhibited a significantly higher ash content (59%-65%) than washed biochars (26%-35%). Equilibrium adsorption study demonstrated that the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity (Qomax) of crystal violet cationic dye decreased in the following order: unwashed-B450 (1719 mg/g) > washed-B450 (1277 mg/g) > commercial activated carbon (492 mg/g). The washing pretreatment can remove solute-inorganic minerals to prevent their release from biochar during the dye adsorption. The washed biochar with its excellent adsorption capacity can serve as a highly sustainable and industrially viable adsorbent for the removal of cationic dyes from waste bodies.

Abstract
Biochar samples were prepared from pine fruit shell (PFS) biomass using slow pyrolysis for 1 h at three different temperatures (350, 450 and 550°C). Batch experiments were carried out for the biosorption of phenol onto these biochars. The effect of biosorption experimental parameters such as adsorbent dosage, ionic strength, initial solution pH, contact time and temperatures has been investigated. Experimental equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms by non-linear regression method. The experimental kinetic data were also fitted to Lagergren pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models by non-linear regression method. Determination coefficient (R2), chi-squared (χ2) and error function (Ferror%) were used to determine the optimum isotherm and kinetic by non-linear regression method. Kinetics results were best described by pseudo-second order model for phenol onto three biochars. Thermodynamic parameters were estimated and implied that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic in nature.
