Mesoporous carbon structure impregnated with 2D engineered zirconium: A sustainable adsorbent for the removal of dyes from the aqueous solution

Sonalika Sonal et al.

Summary: The key design of new adsorbents aims to improve their physical, chemical, and surface properties to enhance selectivity and regeneration efficiency. Two adsorbents, wet oxidative and ultrasonicated zirconium impregnated composite, were synthesized using wet oxidation and ultrasonication methods. Wet oxidation showed higher competence in impregnating zirconium and developing diverse porosity and functionalities. The wet oxidative adsorbent demonstrated a higher adsorption capacity and better regeneration performance compared to raw activated carbon. It can effectively remove stubborn toxic dyes and has potential for industrial-scale applications.

Effective defluoridation of industrial wastewater by using acid modified alumina in fixed-bed adsorption column: Experimental and breakthrough curves analysis

Usha Kumari et al.

Summary: The defluoridation performance of a simple and efficient adsorbent (SAA), developed by H2SO4 treatment of alumina, was explored in fixed-bed adsorption column (FBAC). The SAA demonstrated superior performance compared to unmodified alumina, especially in conditions of increased bed depth, reduced flow rate, and lower fluoride concentration. Furthermore, the SAA showed successful treatment of industrial effluent and reusability for up to four cycles, indicating its suitability for continuous operation in treating fluoride contaminated industrial wastewater or groundwater.

Enhanced adsorption of heavy metals in groundwater using sand columns enriched with graphene oxide: Lab-scale experiments and process modeling

Mona Abbasi et al.

Summary: In this study, sand enriched with graphene oxide (GO) was used to prevent heavy metals migration to groundwater. Batch experiments showed different adsorption capacities of GO for various heavy metals, with the nonlinear Freundlich model fitting the equilibrium reactions. The presence of GO enhanced the adsorption capacity of the sand column for heavy metals, and the adsorption behavior of GO in a mixture of metals was different from single components. Kinetic models successfully predicted the breakthrough curves of heavy metals in the reactive medium.
