In this study, the hexavalent chromium biosorption capacities of a chromium tolerant fungal strain isolated from tannery effluent (Bantala Leather Complex, Kolkata, India) and having 99.82% similarity with Aspergillus nomius, was studied. Here we discuss, the removal of chromium (VI) by Aspergillus nomius biomass and scrutinize the practicality of exploiting them for bioremediation purposes.

Nano ferrite bentonite clay composite (NFBC) of magnesium ferrite nanoparticles (MgFe2O4 NPs) and bentonite is synthesized by sol-gel method and characterized by employing transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), FT-IR spectroscopy and BET analysis. NFBC displayed higher porosity and surface area as compared to the pristine MgFe2O4 NPs. We explored the effectiveness of NFBC for the removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution and the results were compared with the pristine MgFe2O4 NPs. Adsorption data was modelled using Langmuir, Freudlich and Tempkin isotherms. NFBC displayed higher Qm value along with advantageous magnetic properties of MgFe2O4 NPs. Cr (VI) loaded NFBC could be easily regenerated by washing with 0.1 N NaOH and magnetically separated from the solution. Moreover the adsorption effectiveness of 100% was maintained after five adsorption-desorption cycles.

Compost derived from olive tree pruning waste (COTPW) was modified with 0.1 M (COTPW-1) and 1 M (COTPW-2) NaOH. The two biosorbents were tested for their ability to remove Pb2+ and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The effects of contact time, initial heavy metal concentration and solution temperature on the removal efficiency of COTPW-1 and COTPW-2 were also investigated. Among the two biosorbents, COTPW-1 showed a higher cation-exchange capacity (COTPW-1 = 130.4 cmolc/kg, COTPW-2 = 119.5 cmolc/kg) and lower % biomass loss due to the alkali treatment (COTPW-1 = 39.16, COTPW-2 = 60.6). Maximum Pb2+ and Ni2+ biosorptions at pH 5 and 25°C was 357.14 and 172.41 mg/g for COTPW-1, whereas for COTPW-2 they were 294.12 and 147.06 mg/g, respectively. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order model. Slightly reduced removal of Ni2+ from the solutions was observed in the presence of Pb2+, but Pb2+ removal was not affected by the presence of Ni2+ in the solutions. About 0.1 N HNO3 sufficiently recovered both metals from the tested materials (>95.01%). Overall, mild treatment of COTPW with NaOH greatly improved sorption characteristics.

ABSTRAK Kromium (VI) merupakan polutan logam berat berbahaya bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan oleh karena itu pengambilan ion Cr(VI) dalam air penting dilakukan untuk mengatasi pencemaran lingkungan. Proses adsorpsi merupakan salah satu teknik sederhana yang dapat digunakan untuk pengambilan ion logam. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan kajian adsorpsi ion dikromat sebagai model limbah Cr(VI) dalam air menggunakan adsorben zeolit alam termodifikasi amina. Penelitian diawali dengan preparasi adsorben zeolit alam termodifikasi amina. Preparasi dimulai dengan pencucian zeolit alam menggunakan akuades, kemudian refluks zeolit alam menggunakan HCl 3M. Zeolit hasil refluks selanjutnya dimodifikasi menggunakan garam ammonium kuarterner, N-cethyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) dan amina primer, propilamin (PA). Zeolit alam (Z), zeolit teraktivasi asam (ZA) dan zeolit hasil modifikasi amina selanjutnya digunakan sebagai adsorben untuk adsorpsi anion dikromat.

ABSTRACT Chromium (VI) is a heavy metal pollutant that is harmful to health and the environment, therefore Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solution removal is important to overcome the environmental pollution. Adsorption process is one of simple techniques that can be used to take metal ions. Adsorption study of dichromate ions as a wastewater model of Cr(VI) has been conducted in this research by using ammine modified natural zeolite as adsorbents. The research was initiated by preparation of adsorbent of ammine-modified natural zeolites. The preparation was started by washing the natural zeolite (Z) using distilled water and refluxing by 3M hydrochloric acid. Refluxed zeolites (ZA) were modified by a quaternary ammonium salt, N-cethyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and a primary amine, propylamine (PA). The natural zeolite (Z), acid activated zeolite (ZA) and amine-modified zeolites were then applied for adsorption of dichromate ions. Characterization of zeolite samples was performed by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods to confirm the crystal structure, and atomic absorption spectroscopy method to analyze the adsorbed dichromate ions. Results showed that all zeolite samples contain clinoptilolite, mordernite and quartz minerals. The zeolite structure was not changed by heat and chemical treatments. Modification of zeolites enhanced the adsorption efficiency of natural zeolites. The dichromate ions were better adsorbed on ammine modified-zeolites compared to that of unmodified-zeolite with adsorption ability of CTAB modified zeolite (CTAB-Z) was greater than that of propylammine modified zeolite (PA-Z). The adsorption of dichromate on zeolite samples was achieved in the order of CTAB-Z > PA-Z > ZA > Z, with the adsorption efficiency was about 1.96; 1.74; 0.90 and 0.48 mg/g, respectively. The dichromate ions adsorption by CTAB modified zeolite is chemical adsorption (chemisorption) with the adsorption energy of 24.66 kJ/mol.

Ion-exchange of montmorillonite with para-bis(triphenyl phosphonium methylene)-benzene ions (p-TPhPMB) provided an organo-montmorillonite adsorbent with improved affinity towards Telon dyes. Adsorption tests applied to Telon-red and Telon-blue in the presence of Cu(II) cations revealed a significant increase in the maximum adsorption capacity from ca. 11-26 for the starting clay mineral to ca. 110-160 mg.g-1 after intercalation. This improvement was attributed to increases in both the organophilic character towards the organic dyestuffs investigated and the interlayers spacing. Besides dye-diphosphonium and Cu(II)-diphosphonium interactions, dye adsorption on organo-montmorillonite also involved the formation of Cu(II) exchanged Telon-dye species. It was found that dye adsorption involves not only binary interactions between the three chemical species, but also synergy due to a possible bridging action of the divalent Cu(II) cations. On organo-Mt, the organophilic character was a key factor for higher amounts of adsorbed dye.

The current investigation presents the role of gooseberry (Phyllanthus acidus) seeds as an effective biosorbent for remediating chromium(VI)), a toxic heavy metal pollutant commonly found in effluents from tanneries and relevant industries. Biosorption was affected by pH, temperature and initial metal concentration. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the holistic effect of all variables to ascertain the best possible conditions for adsorption, therefore, these factors were considered and a total of 17 trials were run according to the Box Behnken design. Quadratic model had maximum R 2 value (0.9984) and larger F value (1109.92). From the Analysis Of Variance table and R 2 value, quadratic model was predicted to be the significant model with the best fit to the generated experimental data. The optimal parameters obtained from the contour plot for the maximum removal of chromium(VI) were initial metal concentration of 60 mg/L, pH value of 2, and temperature of 27°C. Under these conditions, maximum removal of 92% was obtained. Thus this biosorbent substantially eliminates chromium(VI) under optimized conditions, enabling its use in larger scale.
