Kinetics and isotherms of Neutral Red adsorption on peanut husk

Adsorption of Neutral Red (NR) onto peanut husk in aqueous solutions was investigated at 295 K. Experiments were carried out as function of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentration. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Toth isotherm models. The results indicated that the Toth and Langmuir models provided the best correlation of the experimental data. The adsorption capacity of peanut husk for the removal of NR was deter...     

Sorptive interactions and binding of δ‐endotoxin protein from bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki inforest soils

Abstract

The adsorption, desorption and binding of the insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk toxin) onto autoclaved sandy and clay loam forest soils were studied at 23°C in a buffer medium (pH 10.2) using the precipitated protein mixture (active + inactive) obtained from a commercial Btk formulation. The active protein in the buffer solution was quantified by ELISA technique. Maximum adsorption of the toxin onto the sandy (301 μg/g) and clay (474 μg/g) loam soils was found to occur after 3 and 4 hours of agitation, respectively. Adsorption of the toxin was higher in the clay loam soil than in sandy loam. Adsorption parameters were calculated using the Freundlich and linear isotherm equations. The K_F and 1/n values for the soils were 1.12 and 1.48 (sandy), and 20.42 and 0.874 (clay), respectively, indicating stronger affinity of the toxin for the clay compared to the sandy loam soil. The linear model showed deviations at higher concentrations, nevertheless using the best fit, K_D and K_OC values were computed for the two soils. For sandy loam, the K_D and K_OC values were 9.38 and 391, respectively; the corresponding values for clay loam were 13.19 and 425, confirming the higher sorption affinity of the toxin for clay loam. The adsorption data did not fit the Langmuir equation because of heterogeneity of the soil surface. Desorption studies showed that more than half of the adsorbed toxic protein remained firmly attached to sandy (162.6 μg/g or 54.5%) and clay (314.0 μg/g or 67.4%) loam soils after six 0.5‐h washes (total 3.0 h wash time). Although the toxin appears to be a non‐leacher, its lateral mobility, soil persistence and biological consequences, including bioavailability of the bound residues, are poorly understood and require further investigation.     

背景溶液对纳米氧化铁吸附病毒的影响

以噬菌体X174为病毒替代,通过等温静态批量吸附实验,研究了4种纳米氧化铁(α-Fe2O3、γ-Fe2O3-B、γ-Fe2O3-N、Fe3O4)对病毒在不同背景溶液中的吸附行为及其影响因素.结果表明,在模拟地下水中,4种纳米氧化铁对病毒均具有较高的吸附比例,其中α-Fe2O3对病毒吸附比例最高,在病毒初始浓度比较低(约1E+03PFU.mL-1)时可达100%.经Langmuir和Freundlich吸附等温线方程对上述吸附结果进行拟合表示,纳米氧化铁对病毒的吸附均为有利吸附(favorable adsorption),并可能存在多层吸附,吸附比例均随着病毒初始浓度的增加而减少.纳米氧化铁对病毒的吸附比例随着背景溶液离子强度的增加而降低,表示其吸附行为以电性吸附为主.背景溶液中阴离子存在显著降低了病毒的吸附量,这可能与阴离子竞争病毒吸附位点有关,其中HPO24-比HCO3-表现得更为明显.结果同时显示背景溶液中多价阳离子的存在(比如Ca2+和Mg2+)比单价阳离子(比如Na+和K+)更有利于纳米氧化铁对病毒的吸附.综上可知,纳米氧化铁是一种潜在的病毒净化理想材料,应用时需考虑其环境因素的影响.

Sorption of metals onto natural organic matter as a function of complexation and adsorbent-adsorbate contact mode

The effect of complexing anion and adsorbate-adsorbent contact mode (static equilibrium or dynamic non-equilibrium) on binding and partition of Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) onto organic matter (exemplified in a low-moor peat) was studied. The study comprised comparative batch and column flow-through sorption experiments on monometallic solutions of Me-Cl and Me-SO(4) salts, at pH 4.0, and sequential fractionation of sorbed metals with respect to binding strength. Both the presence of an anion having complexing properties (Cl(-)) as well as a contact mode was found to quantitatively and qualitatively affect the sorption capacity and binding strength of organic matter (peat) for metal ions. Complexing effect of Cl(-) on metal ions resulted mostly in reduction of metal ability to form strongly bound metal-organic compounds, in accordance with the order of stability constant of complex ions log K: Cd>Zn>Cu. Flow-through (dynamic) contact mode, which is the most appropriate to simulate environmental conditions, appeared to strongly attenuate the complexing effect of chloride ions on Cd and Zn sorption, and significantly enhance sorption capacity also in the absence of complexing ions. For Cd, it was mainly due to the enrichment in the strongly bound "insoluble organic" fraction, while for Zn the quantitative increase of sorption capacity did not alter significantly its partitioning. Neither a quantitative nor qualitative effect of contact mode on Cu binding was observed. Complex and diverse effects of different environmental parameters on metal sorption capacity and binding strength onto organic matter, which strongly influence metal mobility, leads to the conclusion that the correct simulation of these parameters for ecotoxicological testing is crucial for the reliable predicting of metal bioavailability under actual terrestrial environmental conditions.     

Adsorptive removal and recovery of the azo dye Eriochrome Black T

Bottom ash and de-oiled soya have been evaluated as potential adsorbents for the removal of a water soluble azo dye. The characterization of the adsorbents has been performed using infrared spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis. A batch of adsorption method has been adopted for studying the effects of pH, adsorbate concentration, and particle size on the adsorption process. The experimental data were tested using Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms and their parameter constants were determined. The thermodynamics showed that the process is spontaneous and exothermic. The kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption process follows first-order kinetics. A fixed-bed adsorption experiment resulted in 89% and 94% saturation of bottom ash and de-oiled soya, respectively, indicating that both adsorbents can be potentially economical.     

Sorption of Triton X-100 on soil organic matter fractions：Kinetics and isotherms

Kinetics and isotherms of Triton X-100 sorption on soil,base-extracted soil(BE),humic acid (HA) and humin (HM) were investigated respectively to get better understanding on characteristics of the surfactant sorptiun onto different soil organic matters(SOMs).It was demonstrated that the kinetics results could be satisfactorily described by the pseudo-second order model.The half of the time to reach equilibrium(t1/2) for different sorbents followed the sequence of soil>HA>BE>HM.Furthermore,the calculated equilibrium sorption capacity(Ceq) was found in the sequence of HA>BE>HM>soil,which agreed well with the experimental results.The isotherms of Triton X-100 sorption on soil and HA could be well described by the S-type isotherm,but BE and HM by the L-type.The isotherms of all the four sorbents were found reasonably fitted to the Langmuir equation.The Kd value,defined as the ratio of Triton X-100 in sorbent and in the equilibrium solution for given concentrations,generally followed the order of HM>HA>soil>BE.Separated HM and HA showed high affinity for Triton X-100,but the HA and HM in soil and BE were tightly bounded by the minerals.Thus,the HA on the soil surface might dominate the sorption,whereas the bounded HM would play a key role upon the surfactants being penetrated inside the soil.
