“…Offering irresistible advantages in terms of cost-efficiency, simplicity, high removal capability with a superior output quality, adsorption has been widely applied as a wastewater treatment approach for the removal of several pollutants [13][14][15] including FQs [16][17][18]. Yet, and to the best of our knowledge, no efforts have been made towards the removal of BALX using adsorption as an approach.…”

Biochars (BC) of spent coffee grounds, both pristine (SCBC) and impregnated with titanium oxide (TiO2@SCBC) were exploited as environmentally friendly and economical sorbents for the fluroquinolone antibiotic balofloxacin (BALX). Surface morphology, functional moieties, and thermal stabilities of both adsorbents were scrutinized using SEM, EDS, TEM, BET, FTIR, Raman, and TG/dT analyses. BET analysis indicated that the impregnation with TiO2 has increased the surface area (50.54 m2/g) and decreased the pore size and volume. Batch adsorption experiments were completed in lights of the experimental set-up of Plackett–Burman design (PBD). Two responses were maximized; the % removal (%R) and the adsorption capacity (qe, mg/g) as a function of four variables: pH, adsorbent dosage (AD), BALX concentration ([BALX]), and contact time (CT). %R of 68.34% and 91.78% were accomplished using the pristine and TiO2@SCBC, respectively. Equilibrium isotherms indicated that Freundlich model was of a perfect fit for adsorption of BALX onto both adsorbents. Maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 142.55 mg/g for SCBC and 196.73 mg/g for the TiO2@SCBC. Kinetics of the adsorption process were best demonstrated using the pseudo-second order (PSO) model. The adsorption-desorption studies showed that both adsorbents could be restored with the adsorption efficiency being conserved up to 66.32% after the fifth cycles.

“…Tony reported chemically activated cellulose-based adsorbent from sugarcane bagasse for treating industrial dye, Procion Blue MX-7RX (reactive blue 161) [ 57 ]. Wang and coworkers examined the dye adsorption capacities of activated carbon prepared from chemical activation and pyrolysis of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) against three dye molecules: methyl violet (MV), Allura red (AR) and Congo red (CR) [ 58 ]. The maximum adsorption capacities reported were 1351.4 (pH 6, 25 °C), 223.2 (pH 7, 45 °C) and 1779.5 (pH 7, 25 °C) mg/g for MV, AR, and CR, respectively.…”

“…CuO oxide nanowires incorporated chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymeric nanocomposite (CS-PVA@CuO) were used for the removal of Acid Blue 25 (AB25) with an adsorption capacity of 171.4 mg/g [ 76 ]. Table 2 summarizes some of the recent dye removal studies carried out using cellulose, chitin and chitosan-derived adsorbents [ 25 , 26 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ]. Generally, the adsorption capacity of an adsorbent is governed by the source and the surface properties such as porosity and surface area.…”

Synthetic dyes have become an integral part of many industries such as textiles, tannin and even food and pharmaceuticals. Industrial dye effluents from various dye utilizing industries are considered harmful to the environment and human health due to their intense color, toxicity and carcinogenic nature. To mitigate environmental and public health related issues, different techniques of dye remediation have been widely investigated. However, efficient and cost-effective methods of dye removal have not been fully established yet. This paper highlights and presents a review of recent literature on the utilization of the most widely available biopolymers, specifically, cellulose, chitin and chitosan-based products for dye removal. The focus has been limited to the three most widely explored technologies: adsorption, advanced oxidation processes and membrane filtration. Due to their high efficiency in dye removal coupled with environmental benignity, scalability, low cost and non-toxicity, biopolymer-based dye removal technologies have the potential to become sustainable alternatives for the remediation of industrial dye effluents as well as contaminated water bodies.

“…[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] The preparation of adsorbents via biological wastes as precursors can not only reduce the adverse effects of wastes on the environment, but also reuse wastes and turn wastes into treasures. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] To this end, we use okara (bean dregs) as the precursor to prepare an efficient adsorbent for the bisphenol S (BPS) removal. The screened adsorbent demonstrated nitrogencontaining groups and a large specific surface area through the optimization of experimental parameters, which illustrated excellent adsorption performance owing to the synergistic effect of conjugation and hydrogen bonding.…”

In this paper, a 3D nitrogen-doped carbon network with excellent adsorption properties was prepared for bisphenol S (BPS) removal from water. An optimized sample B-T700-N3 with high Langmuir specific surface area as well as plentiful heteroatoms was screened out. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of conjugation and hydrogen bonding between the adsorbent and bisphenol S, B-T700-N3 demonstrated superior adsorption performance. The maximum adsorption amount (q max,e ) of the B-T700-N3 at equilibrium was determined to be up to 91 mg/g, which was comparable or even higher than that of the state-of-the-art reported adsorbents. Experimental results illustrated that this adsorbent could also effectively remove other bisphenols (BPA, BPAF) from water. Overall, this novel adsorbent demonstrated a competitive performance for bisphenols removal in aqueous solution and can be a highly interesting candidate for industrial applications.
