“…According to authors, the pH PZC was about 6.3 for both adsorbents, which create a negative charge in neuter and basic medium contributed in the methylene blue retention. The same phenomenon was observed by Hassan et al (2013). They studied the effect of pH on methylene blue biosorption by Haloxylon recurvum plant stems, under operational range of pH between 2 and 12.…”

The production of antibiotics in Algeria generates large amounts of residual biomass that should be considered a valuable biosorbent rather than waste. The aim of this work was to assess the use of antibiotic by-product biomass as a biosorbent for methylene blue removal from wastewater. Therefore, the biosorption of the cationic dye methylene blue by spent biomass of Pleurotus mutilus immobilized as calcium alginate biobeads (CAB) was studied in batch and column modes. The maximum uptake capacity was found to be 23 mg/g at a pH value of 10. Methylene blue biosorption by CAB was found to be spontaneous and exothermic. The adsorption capacity of the used biobeads was regenerated in continuous mode by washing the CAB with HCl (0.5 M) solution. Globally, this work showed the high potential of CAB made with spent biomass of P. mutilus as a biosorbent for the treatment of water contaminated with methylene blue.

“…The peak at 1106 cm -1 represents O-H bending deformation vibration mode of alcoholic, phenolic, and carboxylic groups [22]. The peak at 1025 cm -1 represents the C-OH stretching vibration mode due to several groups at the surface of the biomass [21]. In general, the peaks present from 1000-1100 resulting from the presence of polysaccharides [23].…”

In this paper, the adsorption behavior of Pb 2+ ions from aqueous solutions onto castor stem as a natural adsorbent was investigated under various experimental conditions. Characterization of castor sorbent was evaluated by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, BET surface area analysis, and CHNS elemental analyses. Operational parameters such as pH, contact time, initial ion concentrations, sorbent amount, particle size, competing ions, and temperature were also studied. Adsorption data fitted well with the Langmuir and Freundlich models. However, Freundlich isotherm displayed a better fitting model than Langmuir isotherm because of the higher correlation coefficient that the former exhibited, thus, indicating the applicability of multilayer coverage of the Pb (II) on the surface of adsorbent. On the basis of distribution studies, the distribution coefficient (K d ) increases with increasing the reaction temperature of the solution. Thermodynamic parameters, ∆H o , ∆G o , and ∆S o were calculated and indicated an endothermic and spontaneous process.

“…Various formal low-cost adsorbents including biosorbents, natural things, and waste materials from agriculture and industry have been suggested by a number of researchers for the removal of dyes from water. Some low-cost agricultural wastes like garlic peel [11], potato plant wastes [12], wild carrot ( Daucus carota ) [13], agricultural wastes-based activated carbons [14], cotton dust [15], chemically modified tea wastes [16], hazelnut husk activated carbon [17], rice husk and rice ash [18], tea wastes [19], fruit wastes (yellow passion) [20], plant stems ( Haloxylon recurvum ) [21], LDH bacteria aggregates [22], pine apple leaf powder [23], biomass ( Arthrospira platensis ) [24], and so forth have been efficiently used for the removal process but they suffer certain drawbacks as well.…”

Cauliflower leaf powder (CLP), a biosorbent prepared from seasonal agricultural crop waste material, has been employed as a prospective adsorbent for the removal of a basic dye, methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption method under varying conditions, namely, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, solution pH, and temperature. Characterization of the material by FTIR and SEM indicates the presence of functional groups and rough coarse surface suitable for the adsorption of methylene blue over it. Efforts were made to fit the isotherm data using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin equation. The experimental data were best described by Freundlich isotherm model, with an adsorption capacity of 149.22 mg/g at room temperature. To evaluate the rate of methylene blue adsorption onto CLP, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models were employed. The experimental data were best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters such as changes in enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs' free energy showed the feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. On the basis of experimental results obtained, it may be concluded that the CLP prepared from agricultural waste has considerable potential as low-cost adsorbent in wastewater treatment for the removal of basic dye, MB.
