Three samples of cellulose supported LDHs were synthesized by varying the LDH loading on cellulose. The raw cellulose, unsupported LDH and cellulose supported LDHs were characterized by XRD, SEM and BET surface area. Batch adsorption as well as fixed-bed column experiments were performed for determining the fluoride adsorption characteristics of CSLDHs. The fluoride adsorption properties of CSLDHs were found to be superior to that of reported adsorbents, including activated alumina and carbon nanotubes. Defluoridation capacity of the CSLDHs was 2-4 times higher than that of unsupported LDH. The cellulose supported LDH, CSLDH-50, having an LDH loading of 27% showed maximum fluoride uptake capacity (5.29 mg g(-1) of CSLDH, 25.18 mg g(-1) of LDH) in fixed-bed column study.

Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Generalized isotherm equations. Thermodynamic parameters like Delta G and Delta H values show the feasibility and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. Influence of solution pH and presence of other anions on fluoride adsorption by the clay has also been studied. Presence of carbonate in water was found to have an adverse effect on fluoride adsorption by the clay. pH(pzc) of the clay has been found to be 8.97. A two-step 1st order kinetic model was used to explain the fluoride adsorption kinetics of the as-synthesized clay. It was possible to regenerate the adsorbent with an aqueous solution of 0.01 M NaOH and the effect of regeneration on fluoride adsorption was reported up to five regeneration cycles.

Among the three adsorbents, ZA-16 showed adsorption capacity similar to commercial zeolite 13X. Solvents used for the preparation of m-cresol solution were found to influence the adsorption capacity. The adsorption capacity was maximum for the solution of m-cresol in n-hexane. Conventional Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm equations were used to explain the adsorption behavior. The kinetics of m-cresol adsorption followed the first-order Lagergren kinetic model. p-Cresol/m-cresol separation factor was the highest when toluene was used as the organic medium.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.39</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonar, Shilpa K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Niphadkar, Prashant S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mayadevi, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joshi, Praphulla N.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preparation and characterization of porous fly ash/NiFe2O4 composite: promising adsorbent for the removal of congo red dye from aqueous solution</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Materials Chemistry and Physics</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Composite material</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electron microscopy (SEM)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inorganic compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">powder diffraction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precipitation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">148</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">371-379</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A series of fly ash/NiFe2O4 composites were prepared using fly ash and aqueous solutions of Ni, Fe nitrate salts and NaOH by co-precipitation followed by calcination method. The % mass ratio of fly ash: NiFe2O4 was varied in the range of 0:100 to 100:0. Samples were characterized by powder XRD, SEM, FTIR and N-2 adsorption-desorption measurements. These samples were further evaluated for their adsorptive performance in removal of Congo red (CR) dye from an aqueous solution. In all the composites, spinel nickel ferrite phase was found to be capable to get anchored with the fly ash surface and exhibited more crystalline nature as compared to pure NiFe2O4 phase. The BET surface area and porous character of the composite were found to increase with the decrease in the contribution of the fly ash, reach to maximum and then decreases on further decrease in fly ash. The composite having % mass ratio of fly ash: NiFe2O4 = 50:50 exhibited maximum CR adsorption from the aqueous solution on account of the higher BET surface area, more porous character, favorable condition for diffusion of dye molecules and combined effect of chemisorption and physisorption. Under optimum conditions, it has shown the recyclability with adsorption capacity of the magnitude 23.33 mg g(-1), which is much higher than individual fly ash, NiFe2O4 and other composites. The sorption data provided good fit with pseudo-second order kinetic model. The analyses of the adsorption data indicated that, the Langmuir model provides better correlation with the experimental data. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
