Adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole from aqueous solution by organo-bentonite

The adsorption behavior of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole onto organo-bentonite was investigated.Natural bentonite from Gaozhou in Guangdong Province,China was collected.Organo-bentonite was prepared by intercalation of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide into the natural bentonite.The physicochemical properties of the prepared organo-bentonite were characterized by X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The results showed that montmorillonite is the main component of the natural bentonite.The basal spacing of the natural bentonite is 1.47 nm,which increased to 1.98 nm on intercalation with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide.Moreover,both the surface area and pore volume increased with intercalation.Clear CH2 stretching(3000-2800 cm-1) and scissoring(1480-1450 cm-1) modes of the intercalated surfactants were observed for organobentonite.Compared with the pseudo first-order kinetic model,the pseudo second-order kinetic model is more suitable to describe the adsorption kinetics of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole onto organo-bentonite.The adsorption capacity of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole onto organo-bentonite increased with increasing initial concentration of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole,but decreased with increasing adsorbent dosage.The adsorption isotherm of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole onto organo-bentonite fits well with the Langmuir model.The maximum adsorption capacity of organo-bentonite for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was 33.61 mg/g,indicating that organo-bentonite is a promising adsorbent for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole.     

Reply to comments on "Adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole from aqueous solution by organo-bentonite" by Yuhshan Ho

There were several first-order kinetic equations used and cited by previous publications （Do,an et al., 2007; Eftekhari et al., 2010; Lagergren, 1898; Kannan and Sundaram, 2001;Ozcan et al., 2006）：     

Comment on "Removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution by carbon nanotubes: adsorption equilibrium and kinetics" by Li, Y. H., Di, Z.C., Luan, Z.K., Ding, J., Zuo, H., Wu, X.Q., Xu, C.L. and Wu, D.H.

Recently, Li et al. (Li, 2004 ) published the paper entitled as above. In section 2.2: Adsorption kinetics,authors mentioned three kinetic models, the first-order rate equation, pseudo-second-order rate equation, and secondorder rate equation citing a secondary reference (Benguella,2002). However, there are mistakes occurred in this reference(Ho,2004a).     

钢渣-蒙脱石复合吸附剂对水中Cd~(2+)的吸附去除

研究了钢渣-蒙脱石复合吸附剂对废水中Cd2+的吸附性能,并探讨了影响吸附的因素和吸附机理.结果表明,钢渣蒙脱石质量比为1∶1的复合吸附剂对Cd2+的吸附效果优于钢渣及蒙脱石对Cd2+的单一吸附.当温度为25℃,废水pH=6~7时,1.2 g钢渣-蒙脱石复合吸附剂对100 mL Cd2+溶液(100 mg·L-1)吸附60 min后,Cd2+的去除率可达到96.99%.钢渣-蒙脱石复合吸附剂对镉离子的吸附反应符合二级动力学方程,可决系数为0.9991;符合Langmuir方程,可决系数为0.9725.对Cd2+的理论饱和吸附量为12.45 mg·g-1.溶液中Pb2+、Cu2+的存在会降低复合吸附剂对Cd2+的吸附量,且Cd2+受Cu2+的影响较大.吸附饱和的钢渣-蒙脱石颗粒材料用1 mol·L-1的氯化钠溶液再生效果好.     

溶液中阴离子对UV/H2O2降解4-硝基酚的影响

利用间歇式光反应器,研究了溶液中阴离子HCO3-、Cl-、及NO3-对UV/H2O2氧化4-硝基酚的影响.结果表明,UV/H2O2能有效地除去水溶液中4-硝基酚及TOC.随着HCO3-、Cl-及NO3-浓度的增加,4-硝基酚氧化速率减少.溶液中阴离子对UV/H2O2体系中主要氧化剂OH自由基的清除作用是4-硝基酚降解速率下降的原因.利用一级反应动力学对4-硝基酚的降解进行了拟合,得到了满意的结果.

高炉水淬渣吸附Zn~(2+)的平衡与动力学研究

研究了Zn~(2+)在高炉水淬渣(WBFS)上的吸附情况,并用电镜扫描(SEM)、电感耦合等离子体质谱分析仪(ICP)及X射线衍射仪(XRD)等对高炉水淬渣的理化性质进行了表征.通过批量平衡实验,从动力学和热力学角度探讨了Zn~(2+)在高炉水淬渣上的吸附作用机理.结果表明:吸附等温线能较好地用Langmiur模型来描述,分离因子RL值介于0~1之间,属于优惠吸附.ΔH和ΔS值分别为52.45 k J·mol~(-1)和167.52J·mol~(-1)·K~(-1),表明Zn~(2+)在高炉水淬渣上的吸附是吸热过程,并且吸附过程增加了系统的混乱度,而ΔG值仅仅在温度高于318 K后才为负值,说明高炉水淬渣对Zn~(2+)吸附的自发性与温度成正比.吸附动力学很好地符合伪二级动力学模型,以化学吸附为主.高炉水淬渣重金属浸出浓度低,环境安全性能优良,可以作为一种较为理想的吸附剂.
