Summary: The continuous adsorption of RBB dye onto CATRM in a fixed bed column was investigated. Different experimental conditions were tested, and the results showed that lower dye concentration, higher bed height, and lower influent flow rate favored the adsorption efficiency. The maximum adsorption capacity of the CATRM bed was 106 mg/g, and important parameters such as MTZ and LUB were evaluated from the breakthrough curves.

Summary: This study investigated the use of calcined Meretrix lusoria powder for efficient adsorption of PO43- and NO3-. The results showed that in a fixed bed adsorption column, M. lusoria F800 beads were able to effectively remove PO43- and NO3-. The study also examined the effect of operational parameters on adsorption performance and confirmed the correlation between experimental data and adsorption capacity using the Thomas model. Additionally, the regenerated M. lusoria F800 beads showed continued adsorption capacity.

Summary: The dynamic performances of various adsorbents in removing lead ion, Pb(II), from aqueous solution in an industrial-sized packed bed column were investigated through numerical simulation. Among the different adsorbents, apricot stone activated carbon showed the highest adsorptive performance, suggesting a cheaper and environmental-friendly alternative. A simple analysis method was formulated for comparing the adsorptive performance using information from batch experiments.

Summary: The inadequate access to clean water worldwide, especially in Southern Africa, is largely due to pollution by a variety of contaminants. Traditional water treatment methods are facing challenges from new emerging pollutants, necessitating the development of simpler and more cost-effective purification methods using natural polymers like chitosan modified with nanomaterials. Research on functional chitosan-based nanomaterials proves their effectiveness in eliminating environmental pollutants from wastewater.

Summary: In this study, Mexicalcite was used as an adsorbent material to remove Cr(VI) in a packed bed column. The effects of bed column height, flow rate, and initial chromium concentration on adsorption capacity and removal percentage were evaluated. The maximum removal percentage of 94.09% was achieved with the highest bed column height, highest initial concentration, and lowest flow rate.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption performance of industrial grade carbon black on triclosan (TCS) in water through experiments. It was found that carbon black had a certain adsorption capacity, although lower than activated carbon. The breakthrough time in the fixed bed adsorption experiments was affected by bed height, flow rate, and initial TCS concentration.

Summary: The present study aims to develop a mathematical model that relates reactor parameters with the breakthrough curve in fixed-bed column adsorption. The effects of operating parameters such as bed height, flow rate, and initial adsorbate concentration on adsorption were investigated using various breakthrough curves. The arbitrary constants of the developed model were found to depend on the operating parameters of the breakthrough kinetics. The proposed model showed excellent results for the referenced data, with a breakthrough curve R-2 greater than 0.98. The model's flexibility allows for easier optimization of the reactor parameters and reduction in the number of complicated experiments needed.

Summary: Arsenic contamination in water bodies, especially groundwater, has become a widespread issue in recent decades. Traditional methods for arsenic removal are costly and produce sludge, limiting their application in less developed areas. The use of adsorbents derived from natural materials is a more cost-effective approach for arsenic removal.

Summary: This study presents a method for shaping and densifying COFs into robust porous structures without the need for templates, additives, or binders. The process minimizes mechanical damage and provides an interparticle mesoporous network that allows for higher analyte capacities than the intrinsic COF structure. The study accurately captures the monolithic structure and correlates pore architecture with performance in gas storage and separation applications.
