A series of mesoporous silicate adsorbents with superior adsorption performance for hazardous chlortetracycline(CTC) were sucessfully prepared via a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction using low-cost illite/smectite(IS) clay,sodium silicate and magnesium sulfate as the starting materials.In this process,IS clay was "teared up" and then "rebuilt" as new porous silicate adsorbent with high specific surface area of 363.52 m~2/g(about 8.7 folds higher than that of IS clay) and very negative Zeta potential(- 34.5 mV).The inert Si- O- Si(Mg,Al) bonds in crystal framework of IS were broken to form Si(Al)- O~- groups with good adsorption activity,which greatly increased the adsorption sites served for holding much CTC molecules.Systematic evaluation on adsorption properties reveals the optimal silicate adsorbent can adsorb 408.81 mg/g of CTC(only 159.7 mg/g for raw IS clay) and remove 99.3%(only 46.5%for raw IS clay) of CTC from 100 mg/L initial solution(pH 3.51;adsorption temperature 30℃;adsorbent dosage,3 g/L).The adsorption behaviors of CTC onto the adsorbent follows the Langmuir isotherm model,Temkin equation and pseudo second-order kinetic model.The mesopore adsorption,electrostatic attraction and chemical association mainly contribute to the enhanced adsorption properties.As a whole,the high-efficient silicate adsorbent could be candidates to remove CTC from the wastewater with high amounts of CTC. 相似文献
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of clayminerals (illite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite) on chromate (Cr(VI)) reduction by several low molecular weightorganic compounds. Batch experiments at pH ranging from 3.0 to6.0 and 25 °C showed that 2:1 layered clays illite andsmectite catalyzed Cr(VI) reduction by oxalate. The catalyticeffect increased as pH was decreased. The 1:1 clay kaolinite hadno catalytic effect under comparable conditions. Direct Cr(VI)reduction by reactive moieties associated with illite andmontmorillonite was observed, but at a much slower rate than thecatalytic pathway. Cr(VI) reduction by glyoxylic acid, glycolicacid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid was accelerated by illite,although aqueous phase reduction might occur in parallel. Theseresults suggest that Cr(VI) reduction rates in subsurfaceenvironments rich in organic compounds may be elevated throughcatalysis of surface-bound metals and/or soluble species from theclay minerals, and as a result, higher than those expected fromaqueous phase reaction alone. Such rate enhancement for Cr(VI)reduction needs to be accounted for when developing new remedialtechniques for chromium site remediation or assessing its naturalattenuation. 相似文献
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the catalytic efficiency of two metal oxides, ferrihydrite and birnessite and of a ferruginous smectite, towards organic molecules such as 4-chloroaniline (4-CA), pentachlorophenol (PCP), and five polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) characterised by different number and position of chlorine atoms. Mechanochemical dry contacts with light grinding between catalytic surfaces and pollutants have been carried out.
The efficiency of the mechanochemical removal was compared with batch experiments for the soluble compounds (PCP and 4-CA). The removal of 4-CA and PCP by the mechanochemical procedure resulted more effective than by batch contact in the presence of birnessite and ferrihydrite, particularly at higher pH (100% removal of 4-CA by birnessite in 30 min at pH 8.6 after the mechanochemical contact compared to 20% removal using the batch interaction at the same pH).
The mechanochemical contact of PCBs and birnessite produced a removal of pollutant that was a function of the number of chlorine atoms (complete removal of 2,2′-dichlorobiphenyl in 10 days and a removal of 30% and 20% of 2′,3,4-trichlorobiphenyl and 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl, respectively in 90 days) and of the position of chlorine atoms about the biphenyl rings (100% of 2,2′-dichlorobiphenyl in 10 days, 84% of 3,3′-dichlorobiphenyl in 15 days and 40% of 4,4′-dichlorobiphenyl in 27 days). 相似文献
