Access to drinkable water is becoming more and challenging due worldwide pollution the cost of treatments. Water wastewater treatment by adsorption on solid materials usually cheap effective in removing contaminants, yet classical adsorbents are not sustainable because they derived from fossil fuels, can induce secondary pollution. Therefore, biological sorbents made modern biomass increasingly studied as promising alternatives. Indeed, such biosorbents utilize waste that would otherwise pollute systems, promote circular economy. Here we review biosorbents, magnetic sorbents, other cost-effective with emphasis preparation methods, types, mechanisms, regeneration spent adsorbents. Biosorbents prepared a wide range materials, including wood, bacteria, algae, herbaceous agricultural waste, animal waste. Commonly removed contaminants comprise dyes, heavy metals, radionuclides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products. Preparation methods include coprecipitation, thermal decomposition, microwave irradiation, chemical reduction, micro-emulsion, arc discharge. Adsorbents be classified into activated carbon, biochar, lignocellulosic clays, zeolites, peat, humic soils. We detail isotherms kinetics. Regeneration supercritical fluid desorption. also discuss exhausted adsorbent management disposal. found agro-waste remove up 68–100% while wooden, herbaceous, bacterial, marine-based 55–99% metals. Animal waste-based 1–99% The average removal efficiency modified around 90–95%, but some treatments, cross-linked beads, may negatively affect their efficiency.

The present work reports the adsorption behavior involved in of heavy metal ions using a hybrid inulin-tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) adsorbent produced through sol-gel process. An aqueous multi-element solution was used order to examine inulin-TEOS efficiency removing Cd2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ ions. effects contact duration, dosage, initial concentration, pH on targeted batch systems were evaluated. optimal conditions for removal all metals as follows: 30 mg an dosage at 4 5 minutes time with concentration 0.5 mg/L. A one-way analysis variance (one-way ANOVA) replication test showed that parameters had significant differences p-value 0.05. At optimum condition, 92.59%, 90.27%, 86.472% Ni2+, Co2+ removed, respectively. Findings from kinetic studies suggest pseudo-second model can successfully describe overall Additionally, process be adequately explained intra-particle diffusion rate constants following sequence Kint,1 > Kint,2 Kint,3 Cd2+ each step. results fits Langmuir isotherm, while better fit Freundlich one.
