Converting Waste Polystyrene into Adsorbent: Potential Use in the Removal of Lead and Cadmium Ions from Aqueous Solution

Waste of polystyrene was converted into a cation exchange resin and was used for the removal of lead and cadmium metals from aqueous solution. Wastes consisting of coffee cups were crushed into small pieces and immersed into a solution of sulfuric acid in order to attach sulfonic group to polymer chain, these groups are responsible for the exchange properties of the modified plastic. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) was determined and was comparable to commercial exchangers. The adsorption isotherms of resin with synthetic wastewater containing lead and cadmium ions were tested. Adsorption analysis results obtained at various concentrations showed that the adsorption pattern on the resin followed Langmuir isotherms.

Magnetic Cr(VI) Ion Imprinted Polymer for the Fast Selective Adsorption of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

In this study, a novel magnetic Cr(VI) ion imprinted polymer (Cr(VI)-MIIP) was successfully synthesized and used as a selective sorbent for the adsorption of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. It can be synthesized through the combination of an imprinting polymer and magnetic nanoparticles. The high selectivity achieved using MIIP is due to the specific recognition cavities for Cr(VI) ions created in Cr(VI)-MIIP. Also, the magnetic properties that could be obtained using magnetic nanoparticles, helps to separate adsorbent with an external magnetic field without either additional centrifugation or filtration procedures. The magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using an improved co-precipitation method and modified with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) before imprinting. The magnetic Cr(VI) ion imprinted polymer was prepared through precipitation copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine as the complexing monomer, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate as a co-monomer, the Cr⁶⁺ anion as a template, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker in the presence of modified magnetite nanoparticles. This novel synthesized sorbent was characterized using different techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the adsorption conditions, selectivity, and reusability. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 39.3 mg g^?1, which was observed at pH 3 and at 25?°C. The equilibrium time was 20 min, and the amount of adsorbent which gave the maximum adsorption capacity was 1.7 g L^?1. Isotherm studies showed that the adsorption equilibrium data were fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 44.86 mg g^?1. The selectivity studies indicated that the synthesized sorbent had a high single selectivity sorption for the Cr(VI) ions in the presence of competing ions. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process was exothermic (\(\Delta H\)?<?0) and spontaneous (\(\Delta G\)?<?0). In addition, the spent MIIP can be regenerated up to five cycles without a significant decrease in adsorption capacity.     

Insight into the Adsorption Properties of Chitosan/Zeolite-A Hybrid Structure for Effective Decontamination of Toxic Cd (II) and As (V) Ions from the Aqueous Environments

Chitosan/zeolite-A hybrid structure (CS/Z.A) was synthesized and characterized as a multifunctional and environmental adsorbent for the Cd (II) and As (V) ions. The adsorption capacities of CS/ZA for Cd (II) and AS (V) are 170 mg/g and 125 mg/g, respectively which are higher values than several adsorbents in literature. The kinetic study demonstrates Pseudo-First-order behavior for the Cd (II) adsorption process and Pseudo-second order for the As (V) uptake reactions. The Cd (II) and As (V) uptake reactions follow the Freundlich equilibrium behavior with heterogeneous and multilayer adsorption properties. The kinetic and equilibrium studies in addition to the Gaussian energy {6.35 kJ/mol [Cd (II)] and 9.44 kJ/mol [As (V)]} demonstrate physical properties for the Cd (II) adsorption mechanism and more chemical behavior for the As (V) adsorption mechanism. The thermodynamic study declares exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable adsorption reactions for Cd (II) and As (V) by CS/Z.A composite. The CS/Z.A is of significant capacity for Cd (II) and As (V) ions in the existence of other competitive dissolved anions (PO₄^3?, NO₃^?, and SO₄^2?) and other metals [Zn (II), Co (II), and Pb (II)]. Finally, the CS/Z.A composite is a recyclable product and can be applied in effective Cd (II) and As (V) decontamination processes for five runs.

     

Evaluation of the Biosorption Characteristics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tremella fuciformis</Emphasis> for the Decolorization of Cationic Dye from Aqueous Solution

The present work reported on the evaluation of the methylene blue dye biosorption property of Tremella fuciformis under different experimental conditions. Batch mode experiments were carried out using different experimental parameters such as initial pH, dye concentration, biosorbent amount, contact time and temperature. Four widely used kinetic models were used to elucidate the biosorption kinetics. And the kinetic analysis illustrated that the experimental data best followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Biosorption equilibrium was also investigated using four widely used isotherm models. The results indicated that the experimental equilibrium data fitted very well with Langmuir isotherm models. Thermodynamic analysis of biosorption processes was found to be feasibility, spontaneous and exothermic nature of MB biosorption. These results indicated that T. fuciformis would be a high effective and environmental friendly biosorbent for MB removal from aqueous solution.
