Empty oil palm bunches (EFB) can be converted by hydrothermal carbonation process into biochar that can be used as low-cost adsorbent. This study aims to identify the effects of pretreatment and post-treatment using alkaline activators on the biochar characteristics produced from EFB. The activation process was carried out before and after pyrolysis by heating it using an autoclave at 121 °C for 90 minutes. Biochar was then soaked using NaOH or KOH with a concentration of 0%, 4%, 8% and 12% for 3h. The ability of biochar as an adsorbent was analyzed for its ability to absorb iodine and methylene blue. Iodine absorption analysis was carried out using the Titrimetric method, while the methylene blue absorption test was carried out using the Spectrophotometric method. Results of the analysis showed that the absorption capacity of the resulting biochar for iodine ranged from 208.86–616.32 mg/g, and the absorption capacity of biochar for methylene blue ranged from 62.53–81.11 mg/g.

In the present study, basic red 9 had been removed from synthetic waste water using animal waste. Cow dung ash had been prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscope. Morphology analysis shows very fine particles of less than 1 μm. The pH analysis study favours a pH of 8.5 for maximum dye removal. The removal of basic red 9 was very fast on cow dung ash. Percentage dye removal was 80.24% and 95.24 in 5 minutes and 90 minutes, respectively at initial dye concentration of 10 ppm.

The use of oil fly ash after the recovery of heavy valuable metals was investigated. More specifically, its use, as an adsorbent of dyes from industrial wastewater, was evaluated. Methylene blue was used as a model compound to study the adsorption capacity of the proposed carbonaceous residue from metal recovery treatments. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, and absorbent dose were investigated. The maximum amount of dye was adsorbed after one hour. Moreover, 1-3 g of residues were necessary for the removal of 200-1000 mg dm–3 from 0.050 dm3 of contacted solution. The Langmuir isotherm model was in good agreement with the adsorption equilibrium data, indicating a maximum monolayer saturation capacity of approximately 40 mg/g at 25 °C. High abatement efficiencies (up to 99 %) were obtained, and the adsorbed dye was released almost immediately by re-contacting with water. The adsorption capacity was at least four times lower than that of commercially available active carbon. The double treatment of oil fly ash with deionised water and hydrochloric acid allows for the extraction of over 85 % of the vanadium, iron, and nickel content in the ash. However, the negligible or zero cost of solid residues, otherwise disposed in landfills, indicates their potential as a valid alternative. The use of oil fly ash for both recovery of heavy valuable metals and the subsequent removal of dyes from wastewater suggest a zero-waste process.

The usefulness of untreated powdered eggshell as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The most important parameters affecting the adsorption process, including the pH and ionic strength, were examined. The adsorption characteristics of PCP onto eggshell were evaluated in terms of kinetic and equilibrium parameters. The kinetic data were studied in terms of the pseudo- -first order, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models. The pseudo-second order model best described the adsorption kinetics. Using the Langmuir equation, the monolayer adsorption capacity of eggshell for PCP was found to be 0.127 mg/g. The results showed that PCP can be effectively removed from aqueous solution employing eggshell as a cheap adsorbent.

Dokonano oceny przydatność niemodyfikowanych skorupek jaj jako taniego adsorbentu do usuwania pentachlorofenolu (PCP) z roztworów wodnych. Zbadano najważniejsze parametry mające wpływ na proces adsorpcji, między innymi wpływ pH oraz siły jonowej roztworu. Zbadano zarówno kinetykę adsorpcji PCP jak i adsorpcję równowagową. Do opisu kinetyki zastosowano równania kinetyczne pseudo-pierwszego i pseudo-drugiego rzędu oraz model dyfuzji wewnątrzcząstkowej. Izotermy adsorpcji były analizowane za pomocą równań Langmuira, Freundlicha, Sipsa oraz Redlicha-Petersona. Kinetyka adsorpcji PCP na skorupkach jaj przebiegała zgodnie z modelem pseudo-drugiego rzędu. Maksymalna pojemność adsorpcyjna skorupek jaj w stosunku do PCP, wyznaczona na podstawie równania izotermy Langmuira, wynosiła 0,127 mg/g. Wyniki badań pokazały, że skorupki jaj są interesującym adsorbentem do usuwania pentachlorofenolu z roztworów wodnych.
