Recycling polymeric waste into another useful material is considered to be the preferred way of taking care of the issues of slow degradable plastic waste, particularly in anticipation of natural contamination. In this study, the adsorptive treatment of Methylene Blue (MB) using adsorbents from chemically recycled polymeric waste was investigated. Three polymeric materials were employed in this study: styrofoam waste (EPS1), intruded extended polystyrene (EPS2), and sunflower xylem (Tithonia diversifolia xylem) (TDX). The alterations in microscopic surface morphology before and after the adsorption process were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system to resolve the intercalation of MB with the adsorbent. The experimental batch data was collected and the effects of concentration and contact time on the removal of MB from synthetic wastewater were studied. Adsorption kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics were studied and fitted by various models. According to the result, the uptake of adsorbate increased as contact time and concentration rose, with the pseudo-second-order model best depicting the adsorption kinetics.

In this study, hazelnut shells, orange peel, and melon seeds were selected as raw materials in the preparation of activated carbon. Various activators at different concentrations under two activation temperatures of 300 °C and 500 °C were utilized. All produced adsorbents and a commercial activated carbon as a reference were used for the adsorption of acetic acid from its aqueous solutions in the various initial concentrations. The effect of the amounts of adsorbents was also studied. Removal efficiencies (Re%) and adsorption capacities (Qe) were experimentally determined. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were modelled, and their parameters were calculated. The surface area, pore volumes, and average pore width of the activated carbons were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77.35 K using the BET, t-plot, and BJH methods, respectively. The highest BET surface area of the activated carbon from hazelnut shells was obtained as 717.738 m2/g at 500 °C activation temperature and 60% H3PO4 concentration. SEM images and FTIR analyses were investigated. It was found that activated carbons of hazelnut shells and orange peel showed higher efficiencies than commercial activated carbon.
