In this study, chitosan-polyethyleneimine beads were synthesized via graft copolymerization under microwave irradiation for the adsorption of Acid Red 27 (AR27). The integration of polyethyleneimine affords grafting of amino functional groups onto the chitosan backbone, while crosslinking with glutaraldehyde has significantly improved the mechanical and chemical properties of the resulting grafted and crosslinked chitosan beads (CS-PEI-GLA). The beads were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy, pore structure analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption experiments were conducted in a batch system and optimized with respect to different adsorbent dosages, pH, initial dye concentrations and contact time. The equilibrium data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) for AR27 of 48.3 mg g−1 at 27 °C. CS-PEI-GLA was successfully synthesized in this study by using a simple, green and cost-effective technique with promising prospects to enable future scale-up.

Sorption/desorption studies on some natural minerals for the removal of toxic organic pollutants from aqueous solution

Stepping into the new globalized era, a huge revolution has been undergone by the nuclear power industries. From a source of energy, today nuclear power has demonstrated a wide variety of applications, almost in every part of the world. Lately, the development has received criticisms due to huge generation of radioactive residues, which presents a threat to the environment. Thus, the aim of this paper is to highlight the fundamental characteristics and environmental implications of the nuclear waste compound. Apart from that, historical incidents surrounding the nuclear power-generating plants were clarified, and strategies and policies that will lead to a more sustainable development of the industries were discussed. Moreover, an up-to-date literature on activated carbon adsorption process as a treatment measure for uranium and radon was outlined.

The adsorption of I.C. Disperse Orange 30 (DO30) onto bamboo-based activated carbon (BMAC) was investigated in a fixed-bed column. The experiments were conducted to study the effect of important parameters: bed depth (4–8 cm), flow rate (10–30 mL/min), and inlet DO30 concentrations (50–200 mg/L). The experimental results showed that the breakthrough time decreased with increased flow rate and inlet concentration and it decreased bed height. The highest bed capacity of 39.97 mg/g was obtained to use 100 mg/L inlet DO30 concentration, 8 cm bed height, and 10 mL/min flow rate. Adams–Bohart, bed depth service time (BDST), Thomas and Yoon–Nelson models were applied to predict the breakthrough point using linear regression and to determine the characteristic parameters of the column. Thomas model prediction was in a very good agreement with the experimental results at all the process parameters. The study indicates that it is very suitable for BMAC column design.
