“…The matrix looked like a tubular honey comb with a large number of void space or pores 49 and was indicative of a robust and relatively contiguous structure, apparently bound to lignin containing fibers. 50 Such surface morphology might be due to the fibrous nature of the raw material, as it is extracted from coconut shell through the retting process. 51 Similar thin-walled cells and pores in coir pith were also observed during the evaluation of radium adsorption from aqueous solution.…”

Pressmud and coir pith are bulk organic substrates useful for constituting soilless media. In the instrumental investigation, the lignocellulosic organic substances predominant in coir pith and pressmud were characterized in terms of proximate constituents, elemental composition and functional groups. The elemental composition studies by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and proximate constituent analysis showed that both coir pith and pressmud contain sufficient amounts of macro-and micro-nutrients, as well as important organic constituents, such as sugar, cellulose, protein and wax. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) revealed the fibrous and porous nature of both substrates. UVvisible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses revealed the presence of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose, and other characteristics of natural fibers. The cation and anion exchange reactions and the adsorption phenomenon exhibited by coir pith and pressmud were attributed to the functional groups on their surfaces. Hence, the findings support their suitability as a growing substrate for soilless crop production.

The present investigation elucidates the removal of heavy metal ions using Fe‐loaded chitosan carbonized rice husk beads—Fe‐CCRB from synthetic and industrial effluent in a fixed bed column. The surface properties of Fe‐CCRB were characterized by Brauner Emmet and Teller (BET) analyzer, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X‐ray Analysis (EDAX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The effects of process parameters such as flow rate, bed height and initial Cr (VI) concentration were studied to determine the break through time. The experimental data fitted well with Thomas model and Yoon Nelson model. The break through curve of Adam Bohart model fitted with initial part of the breakthrough curve of experimental data. The BDST model described the adsorption capacity of the bed per unit bed volume N0 increased with increase in Ct/C0. Regeneration studies were attempted to check the stability and activity of the adsorbent. The Fe‐CCRB adsorbent was used to treat the effluents and it was found to be more efficient in adsorption of anionic pollutant Cr (VI) ions when compared to cationic pollutant Ni (II) and Zn (II) with the maximum percentage removal of Cr(VI), Ni(II), and Zn(II) was 82.4, 63.1, and 77.2%, respectively. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 33: 1125–1138, 2014
