Wine processing waste sludge has been shown to be an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of Cr(III) from aqueous solution. The sludge has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-rays (EDX). The effect of pH, initial concentration of Cr(III), sludge particle size, and temperature on the adsorption studied. The equilibrium data could be described well by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. A separation factor was used to judge the favorable adsorption. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, deltaH0 and deltaS0, are 1.95 kJ/mol and 27.16 J/molK, respectively. The deltaG0 values range from -5.98 to -6.79 J/mol, which shows the physical adsorption properties of the sludge. Adsorption dynamics had been successfully studied by the Lagergren model and an intraparticle diffusion model.

Chromium, especially in its hexavalent form (Cr(VI)), poses significant health risks due to its carcinogenic properties. Emerging research suggests that biochar, a carbon-rich material derived from biomass pyrolysis, holds promise as an effective and sustainable solution for Cr(VI) remediation. Biochar's unique physicochemical properties, such as its high surface area, porous structure, and functional groups, contribute to its exceptional adsorption capacity for metals.

This research utilized tetraethylenepentamine-functionalized HY cubic zeolite as an adsorbent to effectively remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, FE-SEM, and EDS-MAP techniques. The synthesis aimed to optimize and evaluate the removal efficiency of Pb(II), Cr(III), Co(II), and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions by investigating key parameters, including initial pH, concentration, adsorbent dosage, and contact time.
