Novel approach for effective removal of methylene blue dye from water using fava bean peel waste.

Project description:Fava bean peels, Vicia faba (FBP) are investigated as biosorbents for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions through a novel and efficient sorption process utilizing ultrasonic-assisted (US) shaking. Ultrasonication remarkably enhanced sorption rate relative to conventional (CV) shaking, while maintaining the same sorption capacity. Ultrasonic sorption rate amounted to four times higher than its conventional counterpart at 3.6 mg/L initial dye concentration, 5 g/L adsorbent dose, and pH 5.8. Under the same adsorbent dose and pH conditions, percent removal ranged between 70-80% at the low dye concentration range (3.6-25 mg/L) and reached about 90% at 50 mg/L of the initial dye concentration. According to the Langmuir model, maximum sorption capacity was estimated to be 140 mg/g. A multiple linear regression statistical model revealed that adsorption was significantly affected by initial concentration, adsorbent dose and time. FBP could be successfully utilized as a low-cost biosorbent for the removal of MB from wastewater via US biosorption as an alternative to CV sorption. US biosorption yields the same sorption capacities as CV biosorption, but with significant reduction in operational times.

Sorghum-Waste-Derived High-Surface Area KOH-Activated Porous Carbon for Highly Efficient Methylene Blue and Pb(II) Removal.

Project description:With the development of the environment and human society, the removal of metal ions and dyes in wastewater treatment remains an urgent problem to solve. In this work, two biomass carbon adsorbents were synthesized by a KOH activation and carbonization route using sorghum stem and root as carbon precursors. In comparison with the samples without KOH activation, the pore structure of the KOH-activated carbon has been dramatically improved. The findings show that the specific surface areas of the adsorbents by sorghum stem (S1) and sorghum root (R1) were 948.6 and 168.1 m2 g-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the abundant OH- and COO- groups on the surface of these adsorbents endow them with negative polarity, thereby exhibiting excellent adsorption performance for removing methylene blue (MB) and Pb(II) from wastewater. The adsorption amount and removal rate of S1 were 98.1 mg g-1 and 98.08%, respectively, for MB, whereas those of R1 were 197.6 mg g-1 and 98.82% for the Pb(II) ion, respectively. Our findings offer an invaluable insight into designing and synthesizing a highly efficient sustainable adsorbent to remove MB and Pb(II) based on biomass agricultural waste.

Fast Microwave Synthesis of Hierarchical Porous Carbons from Waste Palm Boosted by Activated Carbons for Supercapacitors.

Project description:The synthesis of biomass-derived porous carbons (PCs) for supercapacitors by conventional two-steps method (chemical activation after carbonization) is complicated and time-consuming. In this study, we present a one-step microwave activation strategy to prepare hierarchically PCs from waste palm boosted by activated carbons (ACs). ACs with various specific surface areas (14, 642, and 1344 m²·g-1) were used for the first time to fast absorb microwave energy for converting waste palm into hierarchically PCs, that is, PC1, PC2, and PC3, respectively. The morphological and structural characterizations of PCs were studied. Also, the electrochemical performances of supercapacitors based on PCs as electrodes were further investigated. The results showed that the PC (PC1) boosted by AC with the lowest specific surface area possessed a porous structure (containing micro-, meso-, and macro- pores) with the largest specific surface area (1573 m²·g-1) and the highest micropore volume (0.573 cm³·g-1), as well as the suitable mesoporosity (29.69%). The as-prepared PC1 supercapacitor even in a gel electrolyte (PVA/LiCl) exhibited a high specific capacitance of 226.0 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1 and presented excellent charge-discharge performance with an energy density of 72.3 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 1.4 kW·kg-1 and 50.0 Wh·kg-1 at 28.8 kW·kg-1. Moreover, this promising method exhibited a simple, rapid, and cost-effective preparation of carbon materials from renewable biomass for energy storage applications.

Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Pb2+ by using acid-activated Posidonia oceanica waste.

Project description:Dead leaves of seagrass Posidonia oceanica were activated by using one mol L-1 acetic acid and used as an eco-adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. The seagrass was characterized by chemical and physical measurements that confirmed the acid-activation of seagrass. The favourable conditions for MB and Pb2+ adsorption onto the activated seagrass (SGa) were determined to be a pH range of 2-12 and ?6, an adsorbent dosage of 3.0 and 0.5?g L-1, respectively, and a shaking time of 30?min, which are suitable for a wide range of wastewaters. The equilibrium data were analysed using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Raduskavich-Kaganer (DRK) adsorption isotherm models. The Freundlich and DRK models best describe the adsorption processes of MB and Pb2+, on SGa with capacities of 2681.9 and 631.13?mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm fitting and thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption mechanism of MB may combine electrostatic and physical multilayer adsorption processes, in which MB may be present as monomers as well as dimers and trimers which were confirmed from UV spectroscopy whereas Pb2+ is chemically adsorbed onto SGa. The pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model was utilized to investigate the kinetics of adsorption processes. The removal process was successfully applied for MB-spiked brackish waste water from Manzala Lake, Egypt, with removal efficiencies of 91.5-99.9%.

Surface characterization of maize-straw-derived biochar and their sorption mechanism for Pb2+ and methylene blue.

Project description:Biochar derived from straw is a potential low-cost adsorbent for metal ions and organic pollutants, but its practical application is still limited by the adsorption capacity. In this study, the correlation between the biochar's properties and pyrolysis temperature was explored. The adsorption mechanism was studied by monitoring the changes of biochar properties before and after adsorption using BET, SEM, XPS and FT-IR spectroscopy. The adsorption mechanism was revealed following the adsorption kinetics and the changes in biochar's properties before and after adsorption. The methylene blue (MB) and Pb2+ adsorption removal efficiency reached 95% at the initial concentration of 125 and 500 mg/L, respectively. Physisorption, chemisorption, and pore filling mechanisms determined the adsorption process of MB and Pb2+ on biochar. The Pb2+ adsorption process was highly affected by chemical co-precipitation at higher pyrolysis temperatures. The appearance of tar particles increased the adsorption rate of Pb2+. The biochar obtained at the pyrolysis temperature at 500, 800 and 900°C proved to be applicable for Pb2+ removal. Chemisorption and porosity dominated the MB adsorption, and biochars produced at pyrolysis temperatures of 200, 800 and 900°C are potential materials for MB removal. This study provides optimal pyrolysis conditions for transforming maize straw into valuable, low-cost materials for the removal of different pollutants.

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.

Constructing amidoxime-modified porous adsorbents with open architecture for cost-effective and efficient uranium extraction.

Project description:The dense structure of polymeric matrices exposes only 10-20% of adsorption (amidoxime) groups, thus detracting from the extraction efficiency of uranium from seawater. Herein, the amidoxime-modified building units were cross-linked via the Scholl reaction into porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs). Due to the formation of open architecture, PAF adsorbents reveal a larger utilization ratio (>60%) of amidoxime groups. Consequently, PAF samples enable an ultrahigh uranium capacity of 702 mg g-1, which creates a 16-fold capacity enhancement and gains a 7-fold adsorption rate improvement compared with polymer-based adsorbents. Notably, PAF solids are able to be integrated into various devices, thus realizing versatile and efficacious uranium extraction from real seawater (meeting the commercial standard ∼6 mg g-1 in 21 days). In addition, the final cost using our PAF-based adsorbent is US $189.77 per kg uranium, it is in accordance with the prevailing market cost ($100-335 per kg).

Adsorption of methylene blue on an agro-waste oiltea shell with and without fungal treatment.

Project description:A lignocellulosic waste oiltea shell (OTS) was evaluated as an inexpensive sorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Fungal treatment of OTS increased the MB adsorption by modifying the physicochemical properties of OTS and simultaneously produced laccase as a beneficial co-product. Without fungal treatment, the maximum amount of adsorption (qm) of MB by OTS was 64.4?mg/g, whereas the treatment with fungus Pycnoporus sp. and Trametes versicolor increased qm up to 72.5?mg/g and 85.7?mg/g, respectively. This is because of the improved surface area and pore sizes as well as altered chemical compositions. The equilibrium sorption data for OTS both with and without treatment fitted to the Langmuir model, and the sorption rate data well fitted to the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The changes in free energy (?G°) and separation factor (RL) indicated that the sorption was spontaneous and favorable. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the changes in the surface morphology and functional groups of OTS after fungal treatment. The agro-waste OTS could be utilized as a low-cost adsorbent for efficient dye removal, and fungal treatment can serve as a mild and clean technique to increase the adsorptive capacity of OTS.

Porous Organic Polymer Synthesized by Green Diazo-Coupling Reaction for Adsorptive Removal of Methylene Blue.

Project description:A porous organic polymer (marked as DT-POP), which contains abundant free phenolic hydroxyl groups, is synthesized by the well-known green azo-coupling reaction in water, characterized, and utilized as an effective adsorbent for the elimination of methylene blue (MB) from water solutions. The presence of permanent mesopores, abundant active functional groups, and π-electron enrichment ascribed to phenyl rings make DT-POP an efficient adsorbent for MB due to strong hydrogen bonding, π-π, and electrostatic interactions with the cationic dye MB. DT-POP with high stability and high adsorption capacity can be reused many times and thus shows high applicability in pollutant disposal.

Urine to highly porous heteroatom-doped carbons for supercapacitor: A value added journey for human waste.

Project description:Obtaining functionalized carbonaceous materials, with well-developed pores and doped heteroatoms, from waste precursors using environmentally friendly processes has always been of great interest. Herein, a simple template-free approach is devised to obtain porous and heteroatom-doped carbon, by using the most abundant human waste, "urine". Removal of inherent mineral salts from the urine carbon (URC) makes it to possess large quantity of pores. Synergetic effect of the heteroatom doping and surface properties of the URC is exploited by carrying out energy storage application for the first time. Suitable heteroatom content and porous structure can enhance the pseudo-capacitance and electric double layer capacitance, eventually generating superior capacitance from the URC. The optimal carbon electrode obtained particularly at 900?°C (URC-900) possesses high BET surface area (1040.5?m2g-1), good conductivity, and efficient heteroatom doping of N, S, and P, illustrating high specific capacitance of 166 Fg-1 at 0.5?Ag-1 for three-electrode system in inorganic electrolyte. Moreover, the URC-900 delivers outstanding cycling stability with only 1.7% capacitance decay over 5,000 cycles at 5?Ag-1. Present work suggests an economical approach based on easily available raw waste material, which can be utilized for large-scale production of new age multi-functional carbon nanomaterials for various energy applications.
