“…Similar results for different metal ions were obtained by other researchers when using wood ash. In a study by Mosoarca et al [ 37 ], ash obtained from wood-burning was used to retain Mn 2+ ions from wastewater. They found that the material presents an adsorption efficiency of over 90% but can be increased to over 98% by parameter control, with best values obtained for pH~6, a material dose of 10 g/L.…”

“…Ash obtained from different waste biomass has been also recognized as an adsorbent for metal removal from polluted waters. Ash obtained from wood-burning has proved to be efficient for the removal of Mn 2+ ions from wastewater [ 37 ], Cr 4+ ions [ 38 ]. Borlodoi et al studied how ash obtained from banana peels can remove iron ions from groundwater from a concentration of 20 mg/L to 0.3 mg/L [ 39 ].…”

Due to its valuable compounds, food waste has been gaining attention in different applications, such as life quality and environment. Combined with circular economy requirements, a valorization method for waste, especially banana waste, was to convert them into adsorbents with advanced properties. The banana waste, after thermal treatment, was used with high removal performances (100%) for the removal of heavy metals, such as Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn, but their small particle size makes them very hard to recover and reuse. For this reason, a biopolymeric matrix was used to incorporate the banana waste. The matrix was chosen for its remarkable properties, such as low cost, biodegradability, low carbon footprint, and reduced environmental impact. In this research, different types of materials (simple banana peel ash BPA and combined with biopolymeric matrix, ALG–BPA, CS–BPA) were prepared, characterized, and tested. The materials were characterized by means of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tested for the removal of metal ions from synthetic solutions using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The ALG–BPA material proved to be the most efficient in the removal of heavy metal ions from synthetic solution, reaching even 100% metal removal for Cr, Fe, Pb, and Zn, while the CS-based materials were the least efficient, presenting the best values for Cr and Fe ions with a removal efficiency of 34.14% and 28.38%, respectively. By adding BPA to CS, the adsorption properties of the material were slightly improved, but also only for Cr and Fe ions, to 37.09% and 57.78%.

“…The adsorbent dose has a greater influence on process efficiency due to the adsorption surface area and the number of sites available for adsorption increase with the adsorbent material dose [ 14 , 36 , 49 ]. Another parameter that has a great influence on the process is pH.…”

In this research, dry bean pods husks (DBPH) were used as an adsorbent material after minimum processing (without chemical substances consumption and without thermal treatment) to remove methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent surface characteristics were investigated using SEM and FTIR analysis. For maximum removal efficiency, several parameters that influence the dye adsorption were optimized using the Taguchi method. Equilibrium and kinetic modeling, along with thermodynamic studies, were conducted to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. Taguchi experimental design showed that the factor with the highest influence was the adsorbent dose, with a percent contribution established by the ANOVA analysis of 40.89%. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model characterizes the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity, 121.16 (mg g−1), is higher than other similar adsorbents presented in scientific literature. Thermodynamic parameters indicate a spontaneous, favorable and endothermic adsorption process, and their values show that physical adsorption is involved in the process. The obtained results, and the fact that adsorbent material is inexpensive and easily available, indicate that DBPH powder represents an effective absorbent for treating waters containing methylene blue. Additionally, the Taguchi method is very suitable to optimize the process.

“…As shown in Table S3, temperature had a less crucial contribution to SMT adsorption. High temperatures usually reduce the solution viscosity and thus provoke the mobility of the SMT cations [58].…”

Green, Sustainable Synthesis of γ-Fe2O3/MWCNT/Ag Nano-Composites Using the Viscum album Leaf Extract and Waste Car Tire for Removal of Sulfamethazine and Bacteria from Wastewater Streams

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated with Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are bifunctional adsorbent nanomaterials with antibacterial activity. They can be magnetically recovered from wastewater in case of coupling with γ-Fe2O3. In this study, for the first time, an environmentally friendly technique was applied to prepare a nanocomposite (NC) material composed of γ-Fe2O3/MWCNT/Ag by using Bridgestone disposable tires and Viscum album leaves extract. γ-Fe2O3/MWCNTs/Ag NC was employed for the removal of sulfamethazine (SMT) from aqueous solutions. Under the optimized conditions determined via the Taguchi method, the highest SMT adsorption capacity of the γ-Fe2O3/MWCNT/Ag NC was measured to be 47.6 mg/g. The experimental data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters implied that the adsorption process was endothermic. In addition to adsorption of the drug pollutant, the NC demonstrated a superior antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The reusability test also showed that over 79% SMT can be removed using γ-Fe2O3/MWCNTs/Ag NC even after four adsorption cycles. Taken together, γ-Fe2O3/MWCNTs/Ag NC was proven to be a promising antibacterial nano-adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
