PAA改性纳米铁强化还原降解水中亚甲基蓝

利用纳米零价铁去除水中各类污染物是近年来的研究热点,但纳米零价铁颗粒在水中的团聚会导致反应活性降低,研究通过在纳米铁颗粒制备过程中添加分散剂聚丙烯酸(PAA),提高其分散性,强化其在水中反应活性,合成改性纳米零价铁颗粒(PAA-Fe),并首次用于降解水中的亚甲基蓝.对其SEM、TEM、XRD和比表面积表征结果表明,与未改性原始纳米零价铁颗粒相比,PAA-Fe颗粒表面较光滑,团聚减少、颗粒粒径减小,比表面积增大.改性剂PAA添加浓度为0.1 g·L-1时,经过60 min降解反应,PAA改性纳米铁颗粒对亚甲基蓝的脱色率为98.84%,较未改性颗粒脱色率提高了27.32%.改性纳米铁颗粒对亚甲基蓝的脱色效果受初始溶液的p H值、初始溶液的浓度、PAA-Fe投加量和反应温度影响.PAA-Fe与亚甲基蓝的脱色反应符合假一级反应动力学规律.

Enhanced Reductive Decoloration of Methylene Blue by Polyacrylic Acid Modified Zero-valent Iron Nanoparticles

Nano zerovalent iron (NZVI) technology has attracted tremendous amount of interests for degrading a number of environmental contaminants found both in surface water and underground water. However, these nanoscale particles are prone to aggregate, which may result in the decrease of its reactivity in liquid phase. Iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) modified with polyacrylic acid (PAA) has enhanced the dispersion of NZVI and reduced its agglomeration. For the first time, PAA modified NPs (PAA-Fe NPs) were used for degradation of methylene blue in water phase. The PAA-Fe NPs prepared were characterized in terms of TEM, SEM, XRD and specific surface area. The results indicated that, the surface area of PAA-Fe NPs was increased, compared with unmodified pristine zero-valent iron NPs, and PAA-Fe NPs were smoother with smaller particle size. With addition of 0.1 g·L^-1 of PAA, the decolorization efficiency of methylene blue by PAA-Fe NPs was 98.84% in 60 min, which was 27.32% higher than that of pristine Fe NPs. Decolorization efficiencies were also affected by initial pH value, initial concentration of methylene blue, dosage of PAA-Fe NPs, and degradation temperature. Kinetic analyses based on the experimental data illustrated that the decolorization reaction of methylene blue fitted well to the pseudo first-order kinetics model.
