AB  - In this paper, the character of structural changes induced by different mechanical treatments to Prunus persica stones (PSs), and its subsequent effect on biosorption kinetics of Cu(II) were investigated. PSs were processed in vibratory disk mill (PS-V) and ultra-centrifugal mill (PS-C) and characterized by XRD, BET, SEM and FTIR spectroscopy. It was shown that PS-V was smaller and more reactive with less crystallinity index and hydrogen bond intensity compared to PS-C. In opposite, surface area of the PS-C was bigger than that of the PS-V. The total pore volume was about threefold, while the volume of micro pores was 9.29 times higher in PS-Cs than in PS-Vs.

The kinetics of Cu(II) biosorption by both PSs was tested through various kinetic models: pseudo-first and pseudo-second order rate equations, Elovich equation, Boyd model, Weber–Morris and Urano–Tachikawa intraparticle diffusion model. For both sample types, Cu(II) biosorption occurred through combination of intraparticle and film diffusion mechanism, while kinetic results were best described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. At the same time, the results indicated that together with kinetic rate the biosorption capacity of PS-C (21.20 mg g−1) was higher than that of PS-V (16.30 mg g−1).

Mechanical activation like crushing and grinding will change material particle size, specific surface area and porosity, as well as its crystallinity. However, this paper elucidates that such physical structural changes will impact on heavy metal ions removal efficiency. This investigation suggests that the type of size reduction in lignocellulosic biosorbent preparation plays a very important role in overall biosorption performance, so it should be carefully considered every time when the mechanical treatment of material is necessary to be applied.

AB  - A possibility to apply raw, powdered peach shells (PS) as a biosorbent for water purification was studied. The PSs are locally available as a solid waste in a fruit juice factory; methylene blue (MB) was chosen as representative of common pollutants in textile industry wastewater. The phase composition of prepared particles was identified by XRD. The particle morphology was characterized by FE-SEM, while the size distribution was measured by a laser light-scattering particle size analyzer. The BET specific surface area was determined from N2 adsorption/desorption experiments. The effect of operating parameters: the biosorbent amount (50-1000 mg/100 mL), contact time (10-180 min), solution pH (2-12) and initial concentration (10-100 ppm) on biosorption efficiency was examined. Optimal conditions for MB removal were found to be: the biosorbent amount of 400 mg/100 mL and pH 5.5. A high efficiency of MB removal was established after 180 min: 99% for [MB]i = 10 ppm and 76% for [MB]i = 100 ppm. Biosorption is well described by the Freundlich- and BET-type isotherms, implicating heterogeneous adsorption sites and interconnections between adsorbed molecules. The FTIR spectroscopy results indicate hydrogen bonding between the dye and the biomass. The obtained results shown that raw peach shell particles could be used as an efficient low-cost biosorbent for dye removal from water. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Increased industrial, agricultural and domestic activities resulted in the production of large amount of wastewater containing a number of toxic materials which continuously polluting the available fresh water. Sorption is an effective method for water decontamination. Various types of pollutants such as metal ions, dyes, and a number of other organic and inorganic compounds and bio-organisms could be removed by different types of sorbents. Important properties of good sorbent material are high specific surface area and fast kinetics for the removal of pollutants. Natural materials such as oil palm fibers and shells, waste apricot and pitch, olive-seeds waste, peach stones, almond shells, walnut shells, hazelnut shells, kaolin, bentonite, zeolites, coal, etc., possess large capacities for removing of the water pollutants. The main advantages of these materials are wide availability, low cost and environmental safety. The peach shells (PS) were used as the raw material for removing of non-degradable toxic dyes from water solutions. Methylene blue (MB) and brilliant green (BG) were used as representatives of dyes which commonly are pollutant from the textile industry. The peach shells were milled in vibromill and sieved to desired sizes: (1) 100-500 μm, and (2) < 100 μm. The phase composition of the prepared particles fractions was identified by XRD. The BET specific surface area was determined from N2 adsorption/desorption experiments. The particles morphology was characterized by SEM, while the particle size distribution was measured by laser light-scattering particle size analyzer. In a typical experiment, 50 mg of PS particles as the sorbent was mixed on a magnetic stirrer with 50 ml of dye aqueous solution with the initial concentration of 5, 10 and 20 ppm, at room temperature. At time intervals of 5 to 120 minutes aliquots was withdrawn, centrifuged, and pollutant concentration was measured. The concentration of MB and BG in the solution before and after sorption by PS was calculated according to the absorbance value at 665 nm (for MB) and 624 nm (for BG) determined by UV measurements performed on a UV–Vis spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 300–800 nm. Capacity of MB and BG sorption by prepared PS particles was found to be above 86 % after 120 minutes.
