Elevated concentration of arsenic in water supplies is detected worldwide and therefore becomes a global issue. Calcination process is known to increase the adsorbent hardness for its effective application in column-based treatment. In this study, magnetic honeycomb briquette cinders (MHBC) and its calcined products: MHBC(A) and MHBC(N) were employed for the adsorptive removal of As(III) in fixed-bed column. Characterizations revealed that the calcination at 1000 °C under nitrogen has significantly increased the adsorbent particles size; favored phase transformation and improved saturation magnetization (>20 emu g − 1 ). Additionally, the new iron silicate phase (Fe 2 SiO 4 ) in aqueous medium generated highly reactive iron oxide species (=FeOOH), which effectively bind As(III) from the influent water by ligand exchanges. In contrast, calcination under dynamic air drastically reduced the saturation magnetization (<1 emu g − 1 ) and assisted to form segregated magnetite, quartz and hematite, as revealed in XRD patterns. The breakthrough curve of each column was compared with Thomas model and found that the model could be applied to estimate As(III) adsorption in fixed-bed column. Thomas model suggested parameters follow the order: MHBC(N) > MHBC > MHBC(A) and the maximum solid phase concentration ( q T ) was found to be about 56.07 mg g − 1 for MHBC(N). The column beds could be successfully regenerated using 200 bed volume of 10% NaOH solution. This study suggests that the selective calcination process need to be integrated with the adsorbent development process for the efficient removal of As(III) from contaminated water using column-based treatment.

Nano-Mg(OH)2 is attracting great attention as adsorbent for pre-concentration and recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from low-concentration solution, due to its superior removal efficiency for REEs and environmental friendliness. However, the nanoparticles also cause some severe problems during application, including aggregation, blockage in fixed-bed column, as well as the difficulties in separation and reuse. Herein, in order to avoid the mentioned problems, a carbon cloth (CC) supported nano-Mg(OH)2 (nano-Mg(OH)2@CC) was synthesized by electrodeposition. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis demonstrated that the interlaced nano-sheet of Mg(OH)2 grew firmly and uniformly on the surface of carbon cloth fibers. Batch adsorption experiments of Eu(III) indicated that the nano-Mg(OH)2@CC composite maintained the excellent adsorption performance of nano-Mg(OH)2 toward Eu(III). After adsorption, the Eu containing composite was calcined under nitrogen atmosphere. The content of Eu2O3 in the calcined material was as high as 99.66%. Fixed-bed column experiments indicated that no blockage for Mg(OH)2@CC composite was observed during the treatment, while the complete blockage of occurred to nano-Mg(OH)2 at an effluent volume of 240 mL. Moreover, the removal efficiency of Mg(OH)2@CC was still higher than 90% until 4,200 mL of effluent volume. This work provides a promising method for feasible application of nanoadsorbents in fixed-bed process to recycle low-concentration REEs from wastewater.

Several pollutants found in industrial wastewater , such as Congo red dyes (CR), have been shown to be toxic to organisms. To protect human health and the environment, industrial effluents must be purified before being released into bodies of water. In order to effectively remove CR from the solution, amino functionalized walnut shells (WNS) were synthesized. Batch and fixed-bed column systems were used in this research. The Langmuir isotherm model fits the experimental findings well in these two systems, whereas the pseudo-second-order and Thomas kinetic models characterize batch and column CR adsorption, respectively. The adsorption capacity of ACWNS toward CR was to 224.4 mg g −1 at 303 K from Langmuir model. Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding may be the mechanisms. The column research showed that adsorption was more favorable at low inlet solution concentration, low flow rate, or high column depth. The column mass transfer capacity parameter (B) increased with increasing concentration (0.461, 1.59, and 2.47 for 50, 100, and 150 mg L −1 , respectively) owing to a greater driving force for CR adsorption onto ACWNS, while adsorbate–adsorbent affinity (β) exhibited a reverse trend. The regeneration property of CR-loaded ACWNS was excellent using NaOH solution. The thermodynamic study revealed that CR removal was both spontaneous and endothermic. ACWNS is promising to remove CR from the solution.

The removal of selenium (IV) from aqueous solutions was the focus of research that led to the discovery of a novel type of composite adsorbent called FeS@h-BN nanocomposite . This adsorbent was studied, characterized, and put to use in a fixed bed column. SEM, FTIR, XRD, and XPS analyses were conducted to learn more about the coated layer's surface properties. The effect of several adsorbent materials on the remediation of Se(IV) in dynamic water was examined. The Adams-Bohart model, the Thomas model, and the Yoon-Nelson model were all utilized to get optimal fits to the kinetic data obtained from the adsorption process. Moreover, the Adams-Bohart model was only applicable to the beginning portion of the dynamic behavior of the FeS and FeS@h-BN columns. The Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were sufficient for describing the breakthrough curve under all experimental conditions. For this dynamic process, the theoretical breakthrough curve profile was compared to an experimentally derived profile. It was discovered that FeS@h-BN nanocomposites are the most effective at removing Se(IV), and the adsorption of Se(IV) by a variety of adsorbent materials is enough for all three dynamic models.

The novel Fe-loaded porous hydrothermal biochars (FeKHCs) were successfully prepared by two-step synthesis of hydrothermal pretreatment and pyrolysis at different temperatures and used to remove tetracycline (TC) from wastewater. The biochar synthesized at 900 °C (FeKHC900) showed the highest specific surface area (SSA) (1487.55 m 2 /g) and porosity volume (V total ) (0.9951 cm 3 /g), which was significantly affected by hydrothermal pretreatment and K 2 C 2 O 4 activation. K 2 C 2 O 4 favored the micropores formation, which was beneficial to TC adsorption. Thus, FeKHC900 had the largest sorption amount of 606.52 mg/g for TC and outstanding performance for the other three antibiotics. Moreover, Fixed-bed column adsorption experiments proved that FeKHC900 has good dynamic adsorption performance (425.93 mg/g). The slightly reduced sorption amounts in different initial pH, coexisting ions, and humic acid (HA) indicated that FeKHC900 has a high resistance to interference and selective adsorption ability. Batch experiments revealed that TC adsorption was dominated by chemisorption, and the main mechanism referred to π-π interactions, pore-filling, H-bonding, and complexation. This work shares a simple and effective strategy for fabricating magnetic porous hydrothermal biochar as an efficient adsorbent to treat antibiotics.

In view of the sustainable character and high-density of reactive sorption sites, a new kind of poly(ethylenimine)/chitosan (PEI/CS) aerogel beads were successfully synthesized using controllable sol–gel and freeze drying methods, with the aim of using them for efficient Cr(VI) removal from aqueous acid solutions. Compared with the reported CS-based sorbents for hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], not only is the synthetic process used simple but the bead-like samples could be easily separated from solutions for recycling. Structural characterization and batch experiments were compared to illustrate the adsorption performance of the aerogel beads which were synthesized using various processes. Out of the three samples (CS–glutaraldehyde (GA), CS–GA–PEI and CS/PEI–GA beads), the one referred to as CS–GA–PEI exhibited the highest adsorption capacity and the maximum amount of Cr(VI) removal was 402.9 mg g−1 at pH 2.0 and 298 K. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model preferably fitted the adsorption process best. After five cycles of desorption–regeneration tests, more than 80% of Cr(VI) could still be removed by these newly designed CS–GA–PEI beads. Adsorption mechanisms could be explained using electrostatic attraction and reduction reaction theories, on the basis of comprehensive analysis. More importantly, taking advantage of the micrometer sized particles and three-dimensional network that developed, fixed-bed column tests were also conducted on the resultant bead-like sample, which also exhibited excellent sorption performance under testing conditions. These superiorities of CS–GA–PEI beads make them a potential candidate for use in remediating the pollution caused by Cr(VI) ions.

In this work, novel core–shell ion imprinted polymers were firstly synthesized by photoinitiated polymerization (P-IIPs) for the selective separation of Co(II) in aqueous solution. In contrast to thermal polymerization, photoinitiated polymerization exhibits faster initiation rate, only a quarter of the former, and can be performed at room temperature. Subsequently, extensive characterizations were performed using FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XRD, and TGA. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies were carried out in batch adsorption experiments. Furthermore, the removal of Co(II) from aqueous solution was investigated at different conditions by using P-IIPs as the adsorbent in the fixed-bed column and the parameters were discussed and optimized. The data can be well fitted by the Thomas model, offering some model parameters for process design. Compared with non-imprinted polymers, P-IIPs displayed remarkable selectivity toward Co(II). Moreover, the synthesized polymers possessed excellent desorption performance and regeneration property with a desorption efficiency up to 94.1%. P-IIPs enabled the selective extraction of Co(II) successfully from sediment samples with satisfactory recovery. The above mentioned results indicate that P-IIPs are promising high-performance, low-energy and environmentally friendly adsorbents for effectively removing Co(II) from aqueous solution.

Here, Fe/N co-doped porous biochars (FeNKBCs) were obtained by grinding corncob, CH 3 COOK, FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O, and C 3 H 6 N 6 via one-step synthesis and were applied to remove antibiotics from wastewater. Notably, CH 3 COOK had an excellent porous activation ability. The developed nanotubular structure of Fe1N2KBC had a high pore volume (V total ) (1.2131 cm 3 /g) and specific surface areas (SSA) (2083.54 m 2 /g), which showed outstanding sorption abilities for TC (764.35 mg/g), OTC (560.82 mg/g), SMX (291.45 mg/g), and SMT (354.65 mg/g). The adsorption process of TC was controlled by chemisorption . Moreover, Fe1N2KBC has an excellent dynamic adsorption performance (620.14 mg/g) in a fixed-bed column. The properties of SSA, V total , and the content of graphite N and Fe–N were positively correlated with TC adsorption capacity . The high performance of TC removal was related to π-π stacking, pore-filling, hydrogen bond , and electrostatic interaction. Fe1N2KBC possessed stable sorption amounts in pH 2–12 and actual water, and well reuse performance. The results of this work present an effective preparation method of Fe/N porous biochar for TC-contaminated water remediation .

In this work, two novel macroporous hydrogel beads (PVA/GO–N and PVA/CS) were prepared to remove Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in the solution. The maximum Cu2+ sorption capacities on PVA/GO–N and PVA/CS beads were 96.22 and 74.66 mg g−1, while the counterpart sorption capacities of Pb(II) were 278.16 and 144.53 mg g−1, respectively. Isotherm, kinetics and XPS analysis investigation indicated that the sorption processes were controlled by multiple mechanisms. The Cu(II) and Pb(II) removal rates were influenced by the changes of pH, initial dosage, ionic strength, chelator and co-existed ions. The packed-bed sorption column experiments were also carried out to investigate the operating parameters and the potential of the two adsorbents in large scale adsorption systems in practical use. The kinetic model, Thomas equation, was applied to predict dynamic behavior of the fixed bed column for a successful design of a sorption column.

Highly effective magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) beads for adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) were synthesized by suspension polymerization. The effect of various parameters such as bed depths (0.6, 1.1 and 1.7 cm), flow rate (1, 2 and 3 ml minute−1), influent 2,4,6-TCP concentrations (50, 100 and 200 mg l−1), influent solution pH (4, 6 and 8) and temperature (288, 298 and 308 K) was investigated. The breakthrough time increased with the increase of the bed depth, but decreased with an increase of the initial concentration, flow rate and temperature. The Adams–Bohart and Thomas models were applied to the adsorption process under experimental conditions to predict the breakthrough curves for process design. The Thomas model was in good agreement with the experimental data. Compared with magnetic non-imprinted polymers, MMIPs exhibited an excellent selectivity towards 2,4,6-TCP.

Fe 3+ complexed with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-modified carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) named Fe-ACMC was synthesized by a one-step method at room temperature and pressure. The surface morphology and chemical structure of Fe-ACMC were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, BET, FT-IR, XPS, and ζ-potential. In batch adsorption, the optimum pH for arsenate [As(V)] adsorption onto Fe-ACMC was 3–9 with removal efficiency > 99%. The adsorption of As(V) could reach equilibrium within 25 min and the maximum adsorption capacity was 84.18 mg g –1 . The pseudo-second-order model fitted well the kinetic data ( R 2 = 0.995), while the Freundlich model well described the adsorption isotherm of As(V) on Fe-ACMC ( R 2 = 0.979). The co-existing anions (NO 3 – , CO 3 2– , and SO 4 2– ) exhibited a slight impact on the As(V) adsorption efficiency, whereas PO 4 3– inhibited As(V) adsorption on Fe-ACMC. The real applicability of Fe-ACMC was achieved to remove ca. 10.0 mg L –1 of As(V) from natural waters to below 0.05 mg L –1 . The regeneration and reuse of Fe-ACMC for As(V) adsorption were achieved by adding 0.2 mol L –1 HCl. The main adsorption mechanism of As(V) on Fe-ACMC was attributed to electrostatic attraction and inner-sphere complexation between –NH 2 ···Fe 3+ and As(V). In fixed-bed column adsorption, the Thomas model was the most suitable model to elucidate the dynamic adsorption behavior of As(V). The loading capacity of the Fe-ACMC packed column for As(V) was 47.04 mg g –1 at pH 7 with an initial concentration of 60 mg L –1 , flow rate of 3 mL min –1 , and bed height of 0.6 cm.

In this study, the selective adsorption performance of different Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBOs) towards Sb(V) in the textile wastewater under different concentrations of coexisting anions, surfactants and dyes were investigated. Results showed that the influences of different anions on the Sb(V) removal followed an order of phosphate > carbonate > sulfate > nitrate > chloride. The frequently-used organic acid of acetate was found to have insignificant effect. The coexisting surfactant with sulfonic groups could have adverse effect on the removal due to sulfonic groups could compete the adsorptive sites on Fe oxides with Sb(V). While the quaternary ammonium surfactant might have minor effect. The influences of the three widely used dyes on the Sb(V) adsorption decreased in the following order: reactive black-5 >acid orange-7> disperse blue-60, which confirmed that the dyes with sulfonic groups would have relatively higher effect. The selective adsorption capacities of Sb(V) by FMBOs followed an order of FMBO 3 > FMBO 5 >FMBO 10 > FMBO 20 >PFO. Fixed-bed column adsorption supplied useful parameters and evidently indicated that the cyclic utilization of FMBO 3 was cost-efficient for practical dynamic Sb(V) removal. The Sb(V) removal by FMBO 3 from real textile wastewater can simultaneously improve the removal efficiency, stabilize pH and prevent the increase of iron concentration as compared to the traditional coagulation, further demonstrating the high practical applicability of FMBO 3 .
