The assessment of multicomponent adsorption of pentavalent metalloids is important since they are often found together in groundwaters and mining runoff. For this purpose, adsorption of As(V), Sb(V) and P(V) onto iron-coated cork granulates was studied in binary and ternary systems. Data from equilibrium and kinetic studies revealed that uptake of these contaminants is a multilayer, heterogeneous process well described by Freundlich, extended Freundlich and Elovich models. Most of the observed interactions are competitive and were related to the chemical structure and aqueous behaviour of each anion. Sb(V) adsorption was found to be most impaired and P(V) uptake the least affected by the presence of other pentavalent anions. The aggravation in the reduction of adsorbed amount from binary to ternary solution was more prominent for As(V) than Sb(V). Sb(V) adsorption outweighed that of the other pnictogens in acidic solutions, but in neutral conditions As(V) or P(V) adsorption may predominate instead. P(V) adsorption was the most sensitive to electrolyte addition, namely Ca salts, which may promote precipitation of calcium phosphates. This work provides useful insights regarding the design of adequate adsorption treatment systems for the simultaneous treatment of pentavalent metalloids.

The main aim of the study was to develop new fruit waste-derived activated carbons of high adsorption performance towards metals, metalloids, and polymers by the use of carbon dioxide (CO)-consuming, microwave-assisted activation. The authors compared morphology, surface chemistry, textural parameters, and elemental composition of precursors (chokeberry seeds, black currant seeds, orange peels), as well as biochars (BCs) and activated carbons (ACs) obtained from them. The adsorption mechanisms of metals (copper, cadmium), metalloids (arsenic, selenium), and macromolecular compounds (bacterial exopolysaccharide, ionic polyacrylamides) on the surface of selected materials were investigated in one- and two-component systems.

Zinc-imprinted polymer (ZnIP) and non-imprinted polymer (NIP) were synthesized by radical polymerization, and their properties were studied. The novelty of the work lies in the use of humic acids isolated from coals of the Shubarkol deposit (Karaganda, Kazakhstan) as a basis for the imprinted polymer matrix, with methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a functional monomer and a cross-linking agent, respectively. The composition and structure of ZnIP and NIP were characterized using various physicochemical methods.

Precise prediction of adsorption in a multicomponent system is vital for successful design of dye-contaminated industrial wastewater treatment processes. The present work looks for the reason behind the failure of the competitive Langmuir model (CLM) to describe adsorption in such systems, while the Langmuir model (LM) successfully describes the process for a single dye solution. With that end, derivations of LM and CLM have been revisited, and a criterion for the universality of active sites has been defined.
