Thermal-alkaline pretreatment has traditionally been used to enhance anaerobic sludge digestion. In this study, after removing the supernatant, which could be used in anaerobic digestion, the Residual Solids of Thermal-Alkaline pretreated sewage Sludge (RSTAS) were used to prepare biochar via pyrolysis, which could then adsorb Cationic Red X-GRL(X-GRL). The experimental results showed that the RSTAS-biochar had a higher BET surface area and total pore volume than the biochar prepared from raw sludge (RS) (43.5% and 33.3%, respectively). The pretreatment enhanced the X-GRL adsorption capacity of the biochar by 1.5-49.2% at dosages between 12.5-100.0g/g, and the highest adsorption capacity increased from 39.1mg/g to 47.6mg/g. The biochar from RSTAS had a wider application pH range for X-GRL adsorption. The kinetics and isotherms for X-GRL adsorption onto the two biochars were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively, which suggested that thermal-alkaline pretreatment had little effect on the adsorption mechanisms of X-GRL onto biochar.

In this study, ZnFeO-Polyaniline (PANI), ZnFeO-Polystyrene (PST), and ZnFeO-Polypyrrole (Ppy) nanocomposites were synthesized by the adsorption method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted for removing two types of hazardous dyes Red X-GRL and Direct Sky Blue 51 from an aqueous solution and the effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentration of dyes were investigated. Meanwhile, kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters were also determined.

Cu-doped cellulose nanofibers/nano-titanium dioxide (Cu-TOCN/TiO) photocatalysts were prepared by the hydrolysis-precipitation method using TiCl as the source of titanium and cellulose nanofibers suspension as a reaction medium. The prepared photocatalysts were used to decolorize organic dyes (reactive brilliant red K-2BP and cationic red X-GRL) efficiently under the synergistic effect of simultaneous adsorption and photocatalysis. The combination of TOCN inhibited the growth of TiO crystals, reduced agglomeration and increased the specific surface area.

The adsorption behavior of natural zeolite was studied in order to determine the adsorption capacity and mass-transfer process of cationic red X-GRL (C(18)H(21)BrN(6)) onto the adsorbent. The adsorption tests to determine both the uptake capacity and the mass-transfer process at equilibrium were performed under batch conditions, which showed rapid uptake in general for the initial 5 min, corresponding to 92% total removal. The equilibrium adsorption capacity value (q(e,cal)) in pseudo-second-order kinetics was 13.

Anaerobic activated sludge (AAS) was employed for the adsorption of cationic Red X-GRL (X-GRL) from aqueous solutions. The X-GRL uptakes decreased with increases in temperature and salinity, while it was improved with increase in pH. The adsorption of X-GRL by AAS had a better agreement with a fractal-like Langmuir isotherm than a typical Langmuir isotherm.
