Biosorption of zinc (II) using Spirogyra species from electroplating effluent

Zinc was removed from the metal plating effluent with the biosorbent consisting of filamentous algae Spirogyra sp. The sorption was pH dependent with best adsorption at pH 2.5. The metal uptake increased from 3.9% (for no dilution) to 36.8% (for 10 times dilution), indicating that sorption increased with dilution of sample. The adsorption was faster at initial contact time, gradually decreased and remains constant after certain optimum time. Percentage removal of zinc increased from 20.3% to 63.6% with increase in the temperature from 25 degrees C to 35 degrees C but further increase resulted in the decrease in adsorption. Freundlich isotherm was applied and it holds good for the adsorption data.

Copper(II) ions’ removal from aqueous solution using green horse-chestnut shell as a low-cost adsorbent

The adsorption of copper(II) ions from aqueous solutions by the green horse-chestnut shell was studied in a batch adsorption system. It was determined how the parameters of the adsorption process, such as time, pH, copper(II) ions concentration and sorbent dose, influence the effectiveness of copper(II) ions’ removal. The adsorption process was fast and equilibrium was established about 10?min, and near 95–97% of Cu(II) ions were removed from aqueous solution. Maximum copper(II) ions’ adsorption occurred at around pH 5. The adsorption kinetics are also described, using pseudo-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model of type 1 and 2. A comparison of the kinetics models on the overall adsorption rate showed that the adsorption system was best described by the pseudo-second-order model of type 1 (r²?=?0.999) for all initial concentrations. Another key part of this study was the use of the Freundlich model to determine the adsorption isotherm and the experimental data were in strong correspondence with this model.     

The adsorption of PCBs to Yangtse River sediment

The adsorption of six PCB congeners to natural sediments from the Yangtse River was investigated. Experiments were conducted at different PCB concentrations to get the adsorption isotherm for each compound. Analytical determinations were carried out using gas chromato‐graphy with ECD detector. Results showed that the adsorption mechanism of PCBs on Yangtse River sediment fitted the best to the Langmuir adsorption model. It was also found that the adsorption rate decreased as the solubility increased or the octanol‐water partition coefficient decreased for each compound.     

Kinetics of enhanced adsorption by polarization for organic pollutants on activated carbon fiber

The adsorption kinetics for model pollutants on activated carbon fiber (ACF) by polarization was investigated in this work. Kinetics data obtained for the adsorption of these model pollutants at open-circuit, 400 mV, and ?400 mV polarization were applied to the Lagergren equation, and adsorption rate constants (K _a) were determined. With the anodic polarization of 400 mV, the capacity of sodium phenoxide was increased from 0.0083 mmol/g at open-circuit to 0.18 mmol/g, and a 17-fold enhancement was achieved; however, the capacity of p-nitrophenol was decreased from 2.93 mmol/g at open-circuit to 2.65 mmol/g. With the cathodal polarization of ?400 mV, the capacity of aniline was improved from 3.60 mmol/g at open-circuit to 3.88 mmol/g; however, the capacity of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate was reduced from 2.20 mmol/g at open-circuit to 1.59 mmol/g. The enhancement for electrosorption changed with different groups substituting. Anodic polarization enhances the adsorption of benzene with the electron-donating group. But whether anodic or not, cathodal polarization had less effect on the adsorption of electron-accepting aromatic compounds, and decreased the adsorption capacity of benzene-bearing donor-conjugate bridge-acceptor, while increasing its adsorption rate. Electrostatic interaction played a very important role in the electrosorption of ion-pollutants.

Sulfonated cross-linked polyethylenimine for selective removal of mercury from aqueous solutions

Polymeric materials are among the most promising, effective, and increasingly important adsorbents for the removal of toxic metals from wastewater. This study was dedicated to the development of an insoluble, modified chelating polymer for use as an adsorbent for abstraction of Hg from aqueous solutions. Cross-linked polyethylenimine (CPEI) was sulfonated by 3-chloropropanesulfonyl chloride for selective removal of Hg. The binding affinity of the sulfonated CPEI (SCPEI) to Hg was assessed as well as its ability to be regenerated for reuse. It exhibited high removal percentage for Hg up to 87% in synthetic solutions, with high selectivity even in the presence of competing ions: “Mn, Ni, Fe, Pb, Zn, and Cr.” The removal mechanism followed was observed to be adsorption and precipitation at pH 3 and 8, respectively. High adsorption capacities were also observed for wastewater to which the polymer was applied. The Freundlich isotherm was found to be the best fit describing the adsorption process of Hg onto the SCPEI. The pseudo second-order equation was found to better explain the adsorption kinetics, implying chemisorption. The thermodynamic study of the adsorption revealed high activation energies which confirmed the chemisorption as the mechanism of adsorption. The polymer exhibited up to 72% removal efficiency after regeneration, thus showing potential for re-use.

用共沉淀法制备了镁铝铁三元类水滑石(LDH),在不同温度下对其焙烧4 h,得到焙烧态类水滑石(CLDH).采用XRD、FT-IR对材料进行分析,研究其对水中磷酸根的吸附性能和机制.结果表明,铁的掺杂量过大会破坏类水滑石的层状结构,且随着铁含量的增大,类水滑石对磷酸根的吸附量逐渐减小.当Mg/Al/Fe物质的量之比为2∶0.9∶0.1,在300℃下焙烧时,CLDH吸附磷酸根能力最好,吸附容量约27.03 mg.g-1,为焙烧前的1.32倍.在pH 4—11范围内,在竞争离子存在的条件下,CLDH-0.1-300都能表现出较好的吸附性能,对实际废水中的磷也有较强的吸附能力.CLDH-0.1-300对磷酸根的吸附符合二级反应动力学模型,吸附等温线符合Langmuir等温式.用浓度为0.5 mol.L-1的NaOH溶液可以对吸附磷酸根后的类水滑石CLDH-0.1-300实现解吸再生,"吸附-再生-再吸附"循环3次后吸附容量仍接近初始值的60%.     

The cadmium adsorption capacity of contaminated marine sediments from Hong Kong

The binding capacity of Cd to the sediment particles determines the potential of Cd release from the sediments. An experiment was performed to evaluate the adsorption of Cd by contaminated sediments collected from three different locations in Hong Kong, i.e. Kwun Tong, North Point and Nam Tam Wan, having different degrees of pollution. Langmuir and Freundlich equations were used to evaluate the adsorption of Cd by the sediments. Adsorption isotherms obtained from the Freudlich and Langmuir equations were generally linear and the adsorption of Cd by the sediments was significantly correlated with the adsorption maximum and binding energy constant of the Langmuir equation, and equilibrium partition constant of the Freundlich equation. All sediments had a high Cd adsorption capacity and the highly organic contaminated sediments from Kwun Tong had the highest adsorption capacity of 24,272 mg kg^‐1 at pH8. The adsorption of Cd for all sediments increased with a rise in pH of the equilibrium solution and the total organic carbon content of the sediments. Therefore, a change in the sediment chemical equilibrium is likely to reduce the binding capacity.     

Impact of biochar produced from post-harvest residue on the adsorption behavior of diesel oil on loess soil

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar, produced from wheat residue at different temperatures, on the adsorption of diesel oil by loess soil. Kinetic and equilibrium data were processed to understand the adsorption mechanism of diesel by biochar-affected loess soil; dynamic and thermodynamic adsorption experiments were conducted to characterize this adsorption. The surface features and chemical structure of biochar, modified at varying pyrolytic temperatures, were investigated using surface scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared analysis. The kinetic data showed that the adsorption of diesel oil onto loess soil could be described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with the rate-controlling step being intraparticle diffusion. However, in the presence of biochar, boundary layer control and intraparticle diffusion were both involved in the adsorption. Besides, the adsorption equilibrium data were well described by the Freundlich isothermal model. The saturated adsorption capacity weakened as temperature increased, suggesting a spontaneous exothermic process. Thermodynamic parameter analysis showed that adsorption was mainly a physical process and was enhanced by chemical adsorption. The adsorption capacity of loess soil for diesel oil was weakened with increasing pH. The biochar produced by pyrolytic wheat residue increased the adsorption behavior of petroleum pollutants in loess soil.

     

环丙沙星在亚高山草甸不同深度土壤上的吸附及其影响因素

兽用抗菌药物环丙沙星(CIP,ciprofloxacin)的大量使用引发了人们的广泛关注.文章研究了CIP在亚高山草甸土剖面土壤上的吸附动力学、吸附热力学和pH、有机质含量、阳离子交换量等因素对吸附的影响,以揭示CIP在亚高山草甸土上的吸附机制,为CIP的生态风险评价提供一定的依据.结果表明,CIP在亚高山草甸土上的吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型,并分为快吸附和慢吸附阶段,快吸附为0—6 h,慢吸附为6—48 h.CIP在供试土壤中的吸附等温线均能被Freundlich方程及线性方程很好的拟合,且|ΔH^θ|小于40 kJ·mol^-1,说明其吸附过程以物理吸附为主.其吸附等温线符合L-型,表明在CIP浓度较低时,草甸土与CIP分子间作用力较强,而浓度增大至一定程度时,溶剂分子与CIP分子间作用力占主导地位,吸附减弱.剖面土壤上CIP的吸附量随温度升高和土壤深度增加下降,这与有机质含量、阳离子交换量、黏粒含量以及pH有关.实验表明,在pH=5时,其吸附量最高.pH值在3—5时,吸附量随pH升高而升高,而在pH>5时,吸附量随pH升高而降低.表明阳离子交换为其吸附机制之一.     

Removal of congo red and basic violet 1 by chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) sawdust,a saw mill waste: batch and column studies

The efficiency of chir pine sawdust (CPS) for adsorptive removal of the dyes, congo red (CR) and basic violet 1 (BV), from aqueous solution was evaluated using batch and column studies. The equilibrium was attained in 60 min for CR and 45 min for BV. The adsorption of BV obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model while the Freundlich isotherm fitted the equilibrium data of CR adsorption. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities (Q_o) of CPS for BV and CR were 11.3 and 5.8 g kg^?1, respectively. The kinetic data for CR were best fitted to the Lagergren pseudo-first-order model and for BV to the pseudo-second-order model. The intra-particle diffusion was found to be the rate-controlling step for CR adsorption, while the adsorption kinetics of BV were controlled by both intra-particle and liquid-film diffusion. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The adsorption activation energy (E_a) for CR (124 kJ mol^?1) implied chemical adsorption while that for BV (5.4 kJ mol^?1) indicated physical adsorption. An increase in the Thomas model constant (K_Th) with increasing flow indicated that for both dyes the mass transport resistance decreased during adsorption. Thus, CPS may be an efficient low-cost adsorbent for decolorization of dye-containing wastewaters.     

One-pot preparation of graphene oxide magnetic nanocomposites for the removal of tetrabromobisphenol A

A simple solvothermal method was used to prepare monodisperse magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles attached onto graphene oxide (GO) sheets as adsorbents to remove tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) from an aqueous solution. These Fe₃O₄/GO (MGO) nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The adsorption capacity at different initial pH, contact duration, and temperature were evaluated. The kinetics of adsorption was found to fit the pseudo-second-order model perfectly. The adsorption isotherm well fitted the Langmuir model, and the theoretical maximum of adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model was 27.26 mg?g^-1. The adsorption thermodynamics of TBBPA on the MGO nanocomposites was determined at 303 K, 313 K, and 323 K, respectively. The results indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. The MGO nanocomposites were conveniently separated from the media by an external magnetic field within several seconds, and then regenerated in 0.2 M NaOH solution. Thus, the MGO nanocomposites are a promising candidate for TBBPA removal from wastewater.

Efficient adsorption of thiophene from model fuel by pyrolysed rice husks: factors of influence

Rice husks pyrolysed at different temperatures in the range of 250–700°C were investigated as adsorbents for thiophene removal from a model fuel. The adsorption ability of the samples was evaluated under both static and dynamic conditions. It was found that pyrolysed rice husks without any pretreatment are a promising adsorbent for the removal of sulphur-containing molecules from the model fuel. Removal of 92% of the sulphur from the fuel was achieved. The adsorption capacity of the pyrolysed rice husks correlates with their textural and chemical characteristics which strongly depend on the pyrolysis temperature. The adsorption of thiophene is influenced by the initial sulphur concentration level, the fractional composition of the adsorbent, the temperature and the adsorbent/fuel volume ratio. The adsorption capacity of the pyrolysed rice husks is higher under static than under dynamic conditions.     

鄱阳湖沉积物中磷吸附释放特性及影响因素研究

沉积物是氮磷营养盐的主要蓄积库,它不仅是外来污染物的归宿地,同时其自身营养盐的释放也可对水环境产生重大影响。针对鄱阳湖存在的沉积物磷释放问题,关键环境因子对基质磷吸附的影响规律进行了探讨。通过控制在不同环境因素条件下,上覆水中磷的变化规律探讨,阐明磷在上覆水-底泥界面迁移转化的规律和环境因素对迁移转化过程的影响。研究结果表明,吸附初始阶段,两者含量相差较大,起始吸附速率很高;随着反应时间的推进,两者含量差随之减小;当吸附时间达到30 min时,此时上覆水的平衡质量浓度为8.648 mg·L^-1,两者含量达成平衡。由磷的吸附等温试验同样可看出,随着平衡质量浓度逐渐增加,土壤吸磷量刚开始增加较快,随后增加趋势逐渐减缓直至磷饱和。pH越小,上覆水质量浓度越低,沉积物对磷的吸附作用越强;pH越大,上覆水中TP质量浓度越大,强碱条件下,TP吸收量剧减。在好氧条件下,沉积物对磷的吸附远远高于厌氧条件下沉积物的吸附。好氧条件下,反应在4 h内,沉积物对磷的吸附速率最高,随后吸附量很小直至逐渐饱和。厌氧条件下,吸附作用不明显;当反应时间达到24 h后,上覆水磷质量浓度保持不变,此时沉积物磷吸附达到饱和。高溶解氧水平对于控制底泥向上覆水体释放磷,维持水体较低总磷是必要的。温度为30℃,20℃和5℃3种条件下,当反应24 h后,三者均达到吸附平衡。因此,当上覆水的磷质量浓度较低时,高温条件下基质的磷释放速度会高于低温条件下的磷释放速度。研究结果旨在为正确认识、合理评估环境因素对湖泊水体磷的影响提供更为充分恰当的试验依据和理论解释。     

Removal of clofibric acid from aqueous solution by polyethylenimine-modified chitosan beads

Polyethylenimine （PEI）-modified chitosan was prepared and used to remove clofibric acid （CA） from aqueous solution. PEI was chemically grafted on the porous chitosan through a crosslinking reaction, and the effects of PEI concentration and reaction time in the preparation on the adsorption of clofibric acid were optimized. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） showed that PEI macromolecules were uniformly grafted on the porous chitosan, and the analysis of pore size distribution indicated that more mesopores were formed due to the crosslinking of PEI molecules in the macropores of chitosan. The PEI-modified chitosan had fast adsorption for CA within the initial 5 h, while this adsorbent exhibited an adsorption capacity of 349 mg· g^-1 for CA at pH 5.0 according to the Langmuir fitting, higher than 213 mg· g^-1 on the porous chitosan. The CA adsorption on the PEI- modified chitosan was pH-dependent, and the maximum adsorption was achieved at pH 4.0. Based on the surface charge analysis and comparison of different pharmaceu- ticals adsorption, electrostatic interaction dominated the sorption of CA on the PEI-modified chitosan. The PEI- modified chitosan has a potential application for the removal of some anionic rnicropollutants from water or wastewater.
