A comprehensive study involving the use of Mg/Al layered double-hydroxide nanosheets (nLDHs) was conducted for the first time in simultaneous adsorption of sulfate and hardness agents from real drinking water. The prepared adsorbent was in nano size and synthesized by only hydrolysis of urea without any addition of alkali and in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. High concentrations of hardness and sulfate agents were used for the first time to evaluate the efficiency of the prepared adsorbent for both synthetic solution and real water sample. According to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the synthesized adsorbent exhibited hexagonal plates with widths of 500 to 1500 nm and thicknesses of 30 to 100 nm. A multi-response optimization-based modeling and factor analysis were also performed for assessing the optimal conditions for several responses obtained within the framework of the present adsorption process. The optimum values of the three test variables were computed as pH
0 = 5.57, TC = 119.9 min and C0 = 10 g/L by using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, and the corresponding removal efficiency values were found to be 65.1% and 69.2% for hardness and sulfate, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The adsorption capabilities of two nano-sized adsorbents: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated for the removal of toxic phenol. The maximum adsorption capacities of MWCNTs and SWCNTs were determined as 64.60 and 50.51 mg/g, respectively. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order model for both adsorbents. The optimum conditions using SWCNTs and MWCNTs were pH 6.57 and 4.65, phenol concentration 50 and 50 mg/L, dose 1.97 and 2 g/L and contact time 36 and 56 min, respectively. The results indicated that MWCNTs and SWCNTs were proven as high-performance adsorbents for toxic phenol removal from wastewater. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A three factor, three-level Box–Behnken experimental design combining with response surface modeling (RSM) and quadratic programming (QP) was employed for maximizing Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution by Antep pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) shells based on 17 different experimental data obtained in a lab-scale batch study. Three independent variables (initial pH of solution (pH0) ranging from 2.0 to 5.5, initial concentration of Pb(II) ions (C 0) ranging from 5 to 50ppm, and contact time (t C) ranging from 5 to 120min) were consecutively coded as x 1, x 2 and x 3 at three levels (−1, 0 and 1), and a second-order polynomial regression equation was then derived to predict responses. The significance of independent variables and their interactions were tested by means of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with 95% confidence limits (α =0.05). The standardized effects of the independent variables and their interactions on the dependent variable were also investigated by preparing a Pareto chart. The optimum values of the selected variables were obtained by solving the quadratic regression model, as well as by analysing the response surface contour plots. The optimum coded values of three test variables were computed as x 1 =0.125, x 2 =0.707, and x 3 =0.107 by using a LOQO/AMPL optimization algorithm. The experimental conditions at this global point were determined to be pH0 =3.97, C 0 =43.4ppm, and t C =68.7min, and the corresponding Pb(II) removal efficiency was found to be about 100%.

Abstract: A three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the efficiency of Pb(II) ions removal from aqueous solution by Antep pistachio (Pistacia Vera L.) shells based on 66 experimental sets obtained in a laboratory batch study. The effect of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of Pb(II) ions, initial pH, operating temperature, and contact time were studied to optimise the conditions for maximum removal of Pb(II) ions. On the basis of batch test results, optimal operating conditions were determined to be an initial pH of 5.5, an adsorbent dosage of 1.0g, an initial Pb(II) concentration of 30ppm, and a temperature of 30°C. Experimental results showed that a contact time of 45min was generally sufficient to achieve equilibrium. After backpropagation (BP) training combined with principal component analysis (PCA), the ANN model was able to predict adsorption efficiency with a tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) at hidden layer with 11 neurons and a linear transfer function (purelin) at output layer. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA) was found as the best of 11 BP algorithms with a minimum mean squared error (MSE) of 0.000227875. The linear regression between the network outputs and the corresponding targets were proven to be satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of about 0.936 for five model variables used in this study.

The efficiency of new and nano-scale adsorbents including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and γ-alumina in the removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions was experimentally evaluated in a batch-system reactor. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has specifically attempted to introduce a hybrid strategy based on artificial neural network and genetic algorithm techniques for modelling and optimizing adsorptive removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions via the proposed nanoparticles. The analyses of SEM, TEM, and FTIR were used to characterize both adsorbents. The response surface methodology (RSM) approach suggested a second-order polynomial model with a p -value < 0.0001 and R 2 of 0.9980 for MWCNTs adsorbent and a p -value < 0.0001 and R 2 of 0.9992 for γ-alumina adsorbent. The artificial neural network (ANN) approach suggested a three-layered feed-forward backpropagation model with R 2 of 0.9794 for MWCNTs adsorbent and R 2 of 0.9823 for γ-alumina adsorbent. The results linked to optimization by RSM showed that the maximum cobalt(II) removal efficiency of about 90% was achieved in the case of the MWCNTs adsorbent under the conditions of pH = 10, contact time = 38.6 min, MWCNTs dosage = 1.57 mg/L, and initial cobalt(II) concentration = 56.57 mg/L. About 93% of cobalt(II) removal could be obtained in the case of γ-alumina adsorbent under the conditions of pH = 10, contact time = 35.5 min, γ-alumina dosage = 1.63 g/L, and initial cobalt(II) concentration = 52.15 mg/L. The optimization values using the genetic algorithm (GA) technique were almost the same as those obtained from the RSM method. The kinetic model of Ho and McKay's pseudo-second order (PSO) and the isotherm model of Dubinin–Radushkevich were found to be the best-fitted to the experimental for both MWCNTs and γ-alumina. In addition, the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of MWCNTs and γ-alumina adsorbents for the adsorption of cobalt(II) was 78.94 mg/g and 75.78 mg/g, respectively. Also, a thermodynamic study exhibited a favorable and spontaneous adsorption process for both materials. The present study clearly concluded that the proposed adsorbents could be effectively used for the removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions at lower adsorbent dose and shorter contact times than various adsorbents reported in literature. Unlabelled Image • Adsorptive removal of cobalt (II) was explored via MWCNTs and nano-alumina. • ANN and genetic algorithm were proposed for this first time in cobalt (II) adsorption. • Isotherms and kinetic data followed Dubinin–Radushkevich and PSO models, respectively. • A cobalt (II) removal efficiency above 90% was possible at pH = 10 and 1 g adsorbent/L. • Favorable and spontaneous removal was corroborated by thermodynamic study.

In the present study, defluoridation study of liquid phase with the help of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were well investigated and elucidated. The impact of different experimental conditions such as solution pH, initial fluoride concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time was well studied and optimized for the maximum fluoride removal from water. The experimental data were fitted by the Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm models and the related equilibrium constants were calculated. The results of the isotherm studies showed that fluoride removal by both adsorbents followed the Freundlich isotherm model. Kinetic studies were conducted and the results demonstrated that the experimental data were fitted well with the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Furthermore, two multiple regression-based equations were also derived to model the removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions by the carbon nanotubes. This study demonstrated that the polynomial equations satisfactorily described the behavior of the present defluoridation process for both MWCNTs ( R 2 = 0.913) and SWCNTs ( R 2 = 0.941).

The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of the adsorption process for the removal of organophosphorus pesticide malathion 57% from water by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The impact of various experimental conditions such as pH, quantity of adsorbent, concentration of pesticides, contact time and temperature was studied and optimized for the maximum removal of malathion. Unlike conventional optimization, a limited number of experiments (26 steps) were performed in a cost-effective manner for different independent variables such as MWCNTs concentration (0.1–0.5 g/L), the malathion (57%) concentration (6 mg/L and 10 mg/L), contact time (2–30 min) and pH (neutral range). Based on the experimental data obtained in a lab-scale batch study, a three-factor response surface modeling (RSM) approach was implemented in order to optimize the conditions for maximum removal of malathion, and compare experimental results with standardized malathion samples. The optimized conditions to achieve the maximum removal of malathion (100%) were determined to be a malathion concentration of 6 mg/L, an initial MWCNTs concentration of 0.5 g/L, and a contact time of 30 min. Findings of this study clearly indicated that 100% of the malathion could be cost-effectively removed by MWCNTs in conditions predicted by the proposed optimization methodology.
