In the current study, Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas putida were co-cultured to obtain self-immobilized mycelial pellets to evaluate the decolorization efficiency of Congo red (CR). The obtained co-culture exhibited the highest decolorization efficiency of 99.22% compared to monoculture of A. fumigatus (89.20%) and P. putida (55.04%). The morphology and surface properties of the mycelial pellets were characterized by SEM, FTIR, BET, and XPS. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were well described by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. The findings revealed that the removal efficiency of the mycelial pellet for CR was significantly influenced by physicochemical parameters. Thermodynamic result showed that the biosorption process was endothermic. The maximum adsorption capacity can be obtained from the Langmuir model, which is 316.46 mg/g, it suggests that mycelial pellet was an efficient biosorbent to remove CR from aqueous solution. This study indicates that the mycelial pellet can develop a sustainable approach to eliminate CR from the wastewater.

“…Numerous research studies have revealed that the error range of experimental data is generally altered throughout the conversion of adsorption isotherms into forms after linearization [ 75 ]. In our current work, five different error functions including coefficient of determination (R 2 ) [ 22 ], chi-square error (χ 2 ) [ 76 ], sum of absolute error (SAE) [ 77 ], Marquardt’s percent standard deviation (MPSD) [ 78 ] and HYBRID functional error (HYBRID) [ 79 ] were calculated and the goodness of fit for Langmuir and Freundlich was suggested. All error functions are represented by Equations (12)–(16):

Waste wood biomass as precursor for manufacturing activated carbon (AC) can provide a solution to ever increasing global water quality concerns. In our current work, Melia azedarach derived phosphoric acid-treated AC (MA-AC400) was manufactured at a laboratory scale. This novel MA-AC400 was tested for RO16 dye removal performance as a function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature and initial dye concentration in a batch scale arrangement. MA-AC400 was characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. MA-AC400 is characterized as mesoporous with BET surface area of 293.13 m2 g−1 and average pore width of 20.33 Å. pHPZC and Boehm titration confirm the acidic surface charges with dominance of phenolic functional groups. The average DLS particle size of MA-AC400 was found in the narrow range of 0.12 to 0.30 µm and this polydispersity was confirmed with multiple excitation fluorescence wavelengths. MA-AC400 showed equilibrium adsorption efficiency of 97.8% for RO16 dye at its initial concentration of 30 mg L−1 and adsorbent dose of 1 g L−1. Thermodynamic study endorsed the spontaneous, favorable, irreversible and exothermic process for RO16 adsorption onto MA-AC400. Equilibrium adsorption data was better explained by Langmuir with high goodness of fit (R2, 0.9964) and this fitness was endorsed with lower error functions. The kinetics data was found well fitted to pseudo-second order (PSO), and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models. Increasing diffusion constant values confirm the intraparticle diffusion at higher RO16 initial concentration and reverse was true for PSO chemisorption kinetics. MA-AC400 exhibited low desorption with studied eluents and its cost was calculated to be $8.36/kg.

Water shortage is a very concerning issue in the Mediterranean region, menacing the viability of the agriculture sector and in some countries, population wellbeing. At the same time, liquid effluent volumes generated from agro-food industries in general and olive oil industry in particular, are quite huge. Thus, the main aim of this work is to suggest a sustainable solution for the management of olive mill wastewaters (OMWW) with possible reuse in irrigation. This work is a part of a series of papers valorizing all the outputs of a three-phase system of oil mills. It deals with recovery, by condensation, of water from both OMWW and OMWW-impregnated biomasses (sawdust and wood chips), during a convective drying operation (air velocity: 1 m/s and air temperature: 50 °C). The experimental results showed that the water yield recovery reaches about 95%. The condensate waters have low electrical conductivity and salinities but also acidic pH values and slightly high chemical oxygen demand (COD) values. However, they could be returned suitable for reuse in agriculture after additional low-cost treatment.
