Sweet-Potato-Vine-Based High-Performance Porous Carbon for Methylene Blue Adsorption.

Project description:In this study, sweet-potato-vine-based porous carbon (SPVPC) was prepared using zinc chloride as an activating and pore-forming agent. The optimised SPVPC exhibited abundant porous structures with a high specific surface area of 1397.8 m2 g-1. Moreover, SPVPC exhibited excellent adsorption characteristics for removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity for MB reached 653.6 mg g-1, and the reusability was satisfactory. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm were in good agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir models, respectively. The adsorption mechanism was summarised as the synergistic effects of the hierarchically porous structures in SPVPC and various interactions between SPVPC and MB. Considering its low cost and excellent adsorption performance, the prepared porous carbon is a promising adsorbent candidate for dye wastewater treatment.

Glassy Powder Derived from Waste Printed Circuit Boards for Methylene Blue Adsorption.

Project description:Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world and Europe is classified as the first producer in terms of per capita amount. To reduce the environmental impact of e-waste, it is important to recycle it. This work shows the possibility of reusing glassy substrates, derived from the MW-assisted acidic leaching of Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs), as an adsorbent material. The results revealed an excellent adsorption capability against methylene blue (MB; aqueous solutions in the concentration range 10-5 M-2 × 10-5 M, at pH = 7.5). Comparisons were performed with reference samples such as activated carbons (ACs), the adsorbent mostly used at the industrial level; untreated PCB samples; and ground glass slides. The obtained results show that MW-treated WPCB powder outperformed both ground glass and ground untreated PCBs in MB adsorption, almost matching AC adsorption. The use of this new adsorbent obtained through the valorization of e-waste offers advantages not only in terms of cost but also in terms of environmental sustainability.

Preparation of ZnO-Incorporated Porous Carbon Nanofibers and Adsorption Performance Investigation on Methylene Blue.

Project description:To improve the adsorption performance of carbon materials, novel ZnO nanoparticle-incorporated porous carbon nanofibers (Zn@PCNFs) were prepared via an electrospinning technique. A facile one-step fabrication strategy was proposed to simultaneously complete the carbonization of a peroxided polyacrylonitrile framework, the activating treatment caused by ZnO reducing to Zn, and the pore generation caused by evaporation of reduced Zn with a low melting point. The influences of the pH, ion category, and concentration on methylene blue adsorption were investigated. The physical-chemical characterizations showed that ZnO was homogeneously distributed on the nanofibers and micropores were generated. The adsorption results revealed that an efficient adsorption was obtained within a large range of pH values through different adsorption models, which was accelerated by increasing the temperature. Therefore, the novel Zn@PCNFs are anticipated to be applied in the future as an effective dye waste adsorbent.

Sustainable oil palm trunk fibre based activated carbon for the adsorption of methylene blue.

Project description:Activated carbon (AC) is becoming the limelight due to its widespread application as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment, gases, and catalysis. However, its high consumption and price have drawn more attention to the sustainable use of natural resources as precursor for AC production. This study focuses on synthesising AC from two types of oil palm trunk (OPT) fibres, a significant agricultural waste products produced by Malaysia's thriving palm oil industries. The BET surface area of about 2057.9 m2 g-1 was achieved by chemical activation with phosphoric acid (H3PO4). The efficiency of the synthesised AC was critically analysed based on the adsorption experiments with methylene blue (MB) by varying several parameters (dosage of adsorbent, pH, initial dye concentration, and temperature of the solution) to elucidate the adsorption mechanism(s). A maximum adsorption capacity of 320.4 mg g-1 at 50 °C was achieved, and the Temkin (r2 = 0.98, 0.95, 0.95) and Langmuir (r2 = 0.94, 0.93, 0.95) isotherm models fitted the adsorption process better than the Freundlich (r2 = 0.95, 0.90, 0.86) model. Besides, the pseudo-second-order model (r2 > 0.90) best described the adsorption process, favouring chemisorption over physisorption. Thermodynamics showed MB adsorption on AC was spontaneous except at the highest dye concentration. It was exothermic at lower dye concentrations (50 and 100 mg L-1) and endothermic at higher ones (300, 500, and 700 mg L-1). In a nutshell, this study reveals that OPT fibre is a promising precursor for synthesising highly porous AC for the adsorption of MB dye.

Synthesis of Magnetic Microspheres with Sodium Alginate and Activated Carbon for Removal of Methylene Blue.

Project description:Based on the adsorption performance of composite microspheres with activated carbon (AC) and sodium alginate (SA), as well as the magnetic property of Fe₃O₄, we designed and explored an efficient strategy to prepare a unique, multifunctional Fe₃O₄/AC/SA composite absorbent (MSA-AC) that extracted dye from aqueous solution. The composite exhibited the following advantages: rapid and simple to prepare, environmentally friendly process, low-cost, recyclability, and multi-functionality. The physicochemical properties of the prepared magnetic microspheres were measured, and methylene blue (MB) was selected to investigate the performance of the magnetic absorbent. The results showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 222.3 mg/g for MB. Adsorption studies revealed that the data of adsorption isotherms and kinetics fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model.

Adsorption Behaviors of Cationic Methylene Blue and Anionic Reactive Blue 19 Dyes onto Nano-Carbon Adsorbent Carbonized from Small Precursors.

Project description:In this work, an innovative nano-carbon material (N-CM) adsorbent was reported for exploring its adsorption behaviors toward cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic reactive blue 19 (RB19) pollutants. The proposed N-CM was synthesized by a one-step solvothermal treatment of citric acid and zinc gluconate small precursors. N-CM consists of nanosheets that have an advantageous specific surface area, large sp2/sp3 hybridized domains, and abundant nitrogen/oxygen-containing surface functional groups. The synergistic effects of these features are conducive to the MB and RB19 adsorption. Different from anionic RB19 adsorption (79.54 mg/g) by the cooperative π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding, cationic MB adsorbed onto N-CM mainly by the electrostatic attraction at the natural pH solution (> pHpzc), with an adsorption capacity up to 118.98 mg/g. Interestingly, both MB and RB19 adsorption conformed to the pseudo-second order kinetic (R2 ≥ 0.995) and Langmuir isothermal (R2 ≥ 0.990) models, accompanied by similar maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of 120.77 and 116.01 mg/g, respectively. Their adsorption processes exhibited spontaneously endothermic characteristics. Moreover, N-CM showed superior selective capability toward MB in different mixed dye systems, with high removal efficiencies of 73-89%. These results demonstrate that the high-performance carbon adsorbent prepared from small precursors via low-temperature carbonization shows great potentials in wastewater treatment.

Selective Adsorption of Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue by Porous Carbon Material Prepared From Potassium Citrate.

Project description:As the discharge amount of dye wastewater increases with the development of the textile printing and dyeing industries, the treatment of the dyes in the wastewater becomes more complex. The adsorption method is a commonly used method for treating dye wastewater. The adsorbent is the key factor affecting the adsorption performance. To develop a high-performance adsorbent, a porous carbon material prepared from potassium citrate by the calcination method was applied in the adsorption of dye-containing water in this study. The morphology and pore structure of the porous carbon materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm. The porous carbon material with a specific surface area of 1436 m2 g-1, PC-900, was used as an adsorbent for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB). The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of PC-900 for MO and MB reached 927 and 1853.6 mg g-1, respectively. Studies on adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model were more appropriate to describe the adsorption process of MO and MB by PC-900. In addition, the results of the mixed adsorption experiment of MO and MB dyes showed that PC-900 had selective adsorption for MB.

Preparation of activated carbon from <i>Dipterocarpus alatus</i> fruit and its application for methylene blue adsorption.

Project description:Activated carbons were prepared from three parts of Dipterocarpus alatus fruit (wing, endocarp and pericarp), an abundant and renewable waste in Southeast Asia, by chemical activation using ZnCl2, FeCl3, H3PO4 and KOH and physical activation using CO2 and steam. This study indicated that activated carbon prepared from Dipterocarpus alatus fruit could be employed as a promising adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution. ZnCl2 activation led to an activated carbon with a surface area of 843 m2 g-1 and was able to remove methylene blue from aqueous solution. Adsorption studies were performed and analysed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. Adsorption data demonstrated an excellent fit with the Langmuir isotherm model, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 269.3 mg g-1 at equilibrium. Pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models were used in this study to describe the adsorption mechanism. The results show that methylene blue adsorption is pseudo-second order, indicating that liquid film diffusion, intra-particle diffusion and surface adsorption coexisted during methylene blue adsorption on the activated carbon. The activated carbon prepared from Dipterocarpus alatus fruit is a low cost and effective adsorbent with a fast rate for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions when compared with a number of activated carbons studied in the literature.

Functionalized Attapulgite for the Adsorption of Methylene Blue: Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption Mechanism.

Project description:Attapulgite (denoted as APT, also called palygorskite) has been regarded as the green material in the "21st century world" and has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages of low cost, natural abundance, nontoxic nature, and environmental friendliness. However, the limited adsorption sites and surface charges of natural APT greatly hinder its application as an adsorbent in industrial fields. In this work, natural APT was modified with sodium humate (SA) via a facile one-step hydrothermal process to improve its adsorption capacity and systematically studied its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The effect of hydrothermal modification in the presence of SA on the microscopic structure, morphology, and physicochemical properties of APT was studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. The adsorption properties of the modified APT toward MB were evaluated systematically. The results demonstrated that the modified APT has a high adsorption capacity of 227.27 mg/g and also shows a high removal rate up to 99.7% toward MB in a dye solution with an initial concentration of 150 mg/L, which was a 64.7% increase as compared to that of raw APT. The adsorption kinetics could be fitted to the pseudo-second-order model, while the adsorption isotherm could be well-described with the Langmuir model. It was concluded that electrostatic attraction, hydrogen-bonding interaction, and chemical association are the main driving force during the adsorption process.
