RESUMEN
This study explores cutting-edge and sustainable green methodologies and technologies for the synthesis of functional nanomaterials, with a specific focus on the removal of water contaminants and the application of kinetic adsorption models. Our research adopts a conscientious approach to environmental stewardship by synergistically employing eco-friendly silver nanoparticles, synthesized using Justicia spicigera extract as a biogenic reducing agent, in conjunction with Mexican zeolite to enhance contaminant remediation, particularly targeting Cu2+ ions. Structural analysis, utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), yields crucial insights into nanocomposite structure and morphology. Rigorous linear and non-linear kinetic models, encompassing pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Freundlich, and Langmuir, are employed to elucidate the kinetics and equilibrium behaviors of adsorption. The results underscore the remarkable efficiency of the Zeolite-Ag composite in Cu2+ ion removal, surpassing traditional materials and achieving an impressive adsorption rate of 98% for Cu. Furthermore, the Zeolite-Ag composite exhibits maximum adsorption times of 480 min. In the computational analysis, an initial mechanism for Cu2+ adsorption on zeolites is identified. The process involves rapid adsorption onto the surface of the Zeolite-Ag NP composite, followed by a gradual diffusion of ions into the cavities within the zeolite structure. Upon reaching equilibrium, a substantial reduction in copper ion concentration in the solution signifies successful removal. This research represents a noteworthy stride in sustainable contaminant removal, aligning with eco-friendly practices and supporting the potential integration of this technology into environmental applications. Consequently, it presents a promising solution for eco-conscious contaminant remediation, emphasizing the utilization of green methodologies and sustainable technologies in the development of functional nanomaterials.
RESUMEN
The aim of this work was to characterize the coal fly ash from gasification process (G-CFA) and to analyze its potential as hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) adsorbent. The G-CFA was characterized in terms of physical, chemical, mineralogical, and morphological analyses. Bach adsorption studies were carried out in order to evaluate the influence of pH on the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of Cr (VI). The G-CFA characterization demonstrated that the material possessed potential to be applied as an effective low-cost adsorbent, once it presents 18.82 m2 g-1, 0.036 cm3 g-1, and 7.56 nm of surface area, pore volume, and average pore diameter, respectively. The results also showed well-defined mineralogical phases and high content of siliceous material. The adsorption experiments demonstrated that the material has potential to be used as a chromium adsorbent with high removal efficiencies.

Se obtuvo un material adsorbente mediante tratamiento térmico de hueso bovino. Este carbonizado presenta un área superficial de 171 m²g-1, características texturales de un material mesoporoso y presencia del componente principal de la matriz ósea: hidroxiapatita. Se llevó a cabo la adsorción de 2,4-di-nitrofenol sobre el carbonizado en solución acuosa, en función del tiempo, y se determinó la cinética de adsorción por los modelos de seudo primer y seudo segundo orden. Además, se identificó el mecanismo de difusión mediante el modelo de difusión intrapartícula. Se observa que los datos cinéticos experimentales tienen mayor correlación con el modelo de seudo segundo orden. El modelo de difusión intrapartícula muestra que el proceso de adsorción está gobernado por la etapa en donde el mecanismo de difusión de partícula es la limitante de la velocidad.
Adsorbent material was obtained by heat treatment of bovine bone. This char has a surface area of 171 m²g-1, textural characteristics of a mesoporous material, and presence of the principal component of bone matrix-hidroxiapatite. The 2,4-dinitrophenol adsorption from aqueous solution in function of time was carried on the charred and determined the kinetics of adsorption by models of pseudo-first and pseudo second order. Additionally, we identified the diffusion mechanism through intraparticle diffusion model. The experimental kinetic data are more correlated with the pseudo second order model. The intraparticle diffusion model shows that the adsorption process is governed by stage where the diffusion particle mechanism is the rate-limiting.
