Adsorption of surfactants on microbiologies

Adsorption isotherms of 5 priority surfactants on microbiologies were obtained. The sources and the conditions of microbiologies were little influenced on the adsorption, except in endogenous state. The employed surfactants were ready to adsorb in the order of AE>APE>LAS>AES>AOS.     

Effect of cationic and anionic surfactants on the sorption and desorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on natural sediments

Sorption and desorption of PFOS at water-sediment interfaces were investigated in the presence of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS). CTAB remarkably enhanced the sorption of PFOS on the sediment. In contrast, the influence of SDBS to the sorption of PFOS was concentration dependent. Two contrasting factors were responsible for the phenomenon. One was the sorption of the surfactant itself to the sediment, which enhanced the sorption of PFOS. The other was the increase in solubility of PFOS caused by the adding of surfactants, which decreased the sorption of PFOS. SDBS had a much lower sorption capacity, but rather strong ability to increase the solubility of PFOS. High levels of SDBS remarkably reduced the sorption of PFOS on the sediment. These results imply that cationic and anionic surfactants may have contrast impacts on the distribution and transport of PFOS in the environment.     

西苕溪流域沉积物及土壤对磷吸附/解吸特性研究

以赋石水库和其上游河道沉积物以及流域内代表性水稻土为对象,通过分析其理化性质,改变上覆水磷浓度和pH的方法探讨沉积物和土壤对磷吸附/解吸的影响。结果表明:(1)沉积物内较高的磷含量,导致吸附/解吸平衡浓度较高,因此在水库和水体中起着磷"源"的作用;(2)土壤最大磷吸附量为566.45mg/kg,远大于沉积物的吸附量,同时吸附/解吸平衡浓度较低,因此在治理湖泊富营养化时,要加大水土保持的力度,尽量减少作为最主要污染源的农田土壤磷素流入水体;(3)无论上覆水中磷浓度升高还是降低,在未达到吸附/解吸平衡浓度前,土壤和沉积物会持续释放磷,故应把水体治理的重点放在降低土壤和沉积物的磷含量上;(4)上覆水的pH对样品的磷吸附和释放都有显著的影响。在酸性(pH3)或碱性(pH9)环境下,样品的磷吸附量均急剧下降,而水体酸化更易导致平衡后上覆水磷浓度的降低。     

多环芳烃在淮河、黄河和卫河沉积物上的吸附及解吸行为研究

以淮河沉积物上多环芳烃的吸附研究为主线,以黄河、卫河沉积物为比对,研究菲和芘在3种河流沉积物上的吸附和解吸行为,重点考察吸附剂有机质组分、环境温度、吸附时间和共存物等因素对吸附的影响,找出可以用来预测这3条河流沉积物对多环芳烃吸附作用的模式。结果表明,菲和芘在3种河流沉积物上的吸附均呈非线性,可用Freundlich方程拟合,属放热反应、物理吸附。同一吸附质的有机碳归一化分配系数(Koc)数值相近,说明吸附剂有机质组分对吸附起主导作用;吸附能力随着吸附时间延长而增加,并与吸附质疏水性成正比;多环芳烃共存,有竞争吸附现象;辛醇/水分配系数可用来预测3种河流沉积物对多环芳烃的吸附作用;解吸存在滞后现象,吸附质疏水性强、吸附剂有机质含量高的体系,解吸滞后现象更加明显。     

Adsorption of multi-heavy metals Zn and Cu onto surficial sediments: modeling and adsorption capacity analysis

Improved multiple regression adsorption models (IMRAMs) was developed to estimate the adsorption capacity of the components [Fe oxides (Fe), Mn oxides (Mn), organic materials (OMs), residuals] in surficial sediments for multi-heavy metal Zn and Cu. IMRAM is an improved version over MRAM, which introduces a computer program in the model developing process. As MRAM, Zn(Cu) IMRAM, and Cu(Zn) IMRAM again confirmed that there is significant interaction effects that control the adsorption of compounded Zn and Cu, which was neglected by additional adsorption model. The verification experiment shows that the relative deviation of the IMRAMs is less than 13 %. It is revealed by the IMRAMs that Mn, which has the greatest adsorption capability for compounded Zn and Cu (54.889 and 161.180 mg/l, respectively), follows by interference adsorption capacity of Fe/Mn (?1.072 and ?24.591 mg/l respectively). Zn and Cu influence each other through different mechanisms. When Zn is the adsorbate, compounded Cu mainly affects the adsorption capacities of Fe/Mn and Fe/Mn/OMs; while when Cu is the adsorbate, compounded Zn mainly exerts its effect on Mn, Fe/Mn, and Mn/OMs. It also shows that the compounded Zn or Cu weakened the interference adsorption of Fe/Mn, and meanwhile, strengthened the interference adsorption of Mn/OMs.     

表面活性剂对动态水体中对氯硝基苯挥发的影响

研究了在表面活性剂聚氧乙烯失水三梨酸醇(Tween20)、十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)、十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和氯代十六烷吡啶(CPC)存在下,搅拌对水体中对氯硝基苯挥发行为影响的规律及机制.结果表明,水体的搅拌速度对对氯硝基苯的挥发行为有着显著的影响,表面活性剂的存在降低了对氯硝基苯的液膜/液相分配比,增大了传质阻力而抑制了对氯硝基苯的挥发,其抑制挥发的能力由表面活性剂的浓度和性质决定.从质量浓度看,抑制对氯硝基苯挥发的能力大小顺序为Tween20＞SDS＞SDBS＞CPC,从临界胶束浓度(CMC)倍数看,抑制对氯硝基苯挥发的能力大小顺序为SDS＞SDBS＞Tween20＞CPC.

Adsorption of pesticides on resins

The objective of this work was to assess the capability of organic hydrophobic polymeric resins Amberlite XAD-4 and XAD-7 to remove the pesticides alachlor and amitrole from water. The pesticides adsorption on the two different adsorbents was measured by batch equilibrium technique and isotherm types and parameters were estimated. Two theoretical models were applied based on a Freundlich and a Langmuir isotherms. The effect of pesticides chemical composition and structure as well as the nature of solid surface on the efficiency of adsorption was evaluated. The influence of pH also was studied. In low pH solutions adsorption of amitrole was higher upon the nonionic aliphatic acrylic ester copolymer XAD-7 in comparison to the nonionic, crosslinked macroreticular copolymer of styrene divinylbenzene XAD-4. In neutral and intermediate pH solutions the polar acrylic ester copolymer XAD-7 was more effective to the retention of alachlor. The acrylic ester copolymer showed at pH 3 the lower effectiveness in alachlor removal from water. The data of the adsorption isotherms of pesticides upon the examined polymeric resins seemed to conform to both the Freundlich and the Langmuir isotherm models.

Polymers and surfactants on the basis of renewable resources

A new strategy for the preparation of different polymers and special surfactants was developed. First, unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters obtained from plant oils were converted to terminally unsaturated esters and alpha-olefins by metathesis with ethylene using heterogeneous rhenium or homogeneous ruthenium catalysts. These esters were directly copolymerized with ethylene by an insertion-type palladium-catalyzed polymerization to functionalized polyolefins. Polyesters were synthesized by metathetical dimerization of omega-unsaturated esters and subsequent polycondensation of the produced internally unsaturated dicarboxylic esters or by acidic transesterification with petrochemical diols and additional acyclic diene metathesis polymerization. Omega-epoxy fatty acid methyl esters, achieved by a new method of chemo-enzymatic epoxidation, were converted into polyethers with comb-structure catalyzed by aluminoxanes on the one hand and into sugar surfactants by nucleophilic ring-opening with amino carbohydrates on the other hand.

Effects of surfactants on extraction of phenanthrene in spiked sand

Problems associated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated site in environmental media have received increasing attention. To resolve such problems, innovative in situ methods are urgently required. This work investigated the feasibility of using surfactants to extract phenanthrene on spiked sand in a batch system. Phenanthrene was spiked into Ottawa sand to simulate contaminated soil. Six surfactants, Brij 30 (BR), Triton X-100 (TR), Tergitol NP-10 (TE), Igepal CA-720 (IG), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) were used. Adjusting the extraction time, mixing speed and surfactant concentration yielded the optimum extracting conditions. The concentration of phenanthrene was identified with HPLC. Under the experimental conditions, results indicated that those surfactants were highly promising on site remediation since the residual phenanthrene concentration was effectively reduced. The optimum operating conditions were obtained at 30 min, 125 rpm and surfactant concentrations in 4%.     

有机粘土矿物对水中低浓度菲的吸附性能和机理

Effect of surfactants on desorption of aldicarb from spiked soil

Surfactant enhanced desorption of aldicarb from spiked soil was investigated in this paper. Anionic (sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate, SDBS), cationic (hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, HTAB) and nonionic (octyl polyethylene glycol phenyl ether, OP) surfactants were tested to determine their optimal desorption conditions including desorption time, mixing speed and surfactant concentrations. The results showed that the optimal operating conditions were obtained at 2 h, 150 rpm, and surfactants concentrations were 1000, 100, and 200 mg l(-1) for SDBS, OP, and HTAB, respectively. The paper also investigated the desorption efficiency of mixture of different kinds of surfactants for aldicarb-spiked soil, and found that anionic-nonionic surfactant mixtures gave the best desorption efficiency up to 77%, while anionic-cationic surfactant mixture gave a poor desorption efficiency similar to water, suggesting that mixture of anionic-nonionic surfactants were highly promising on remediation of aldicarb-contaminated soil.     

Influence of residual surfactants on DNAPL characterization using partitioning tracers

The partitioning tracer technique is among the DNAPL source-zone characterization methods being evaluated, while surfactant in-situ flushing is receiving attention as an innovative technology for enhanced source-zone cleanup. Here, we examine in batch and column experiments the magnitude of artifacts introduced in estimating DNAPL content when residual surfactants are present. The batch equilibrium tests, using residual surfactants ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 wt.%, showed that as the surfactant concentrations increased, the tracer partition coefficients decreased linearly for sodium hexadecyl diphenyl oxide disulfonate (DowFax 8390), increased linearly for polyoxyethylene (10) oleyl ether (Brij 97), and decreased slightly or exhibited no observable trend for sodium dihexyl sulfosuccinate (AMA 80). Results from column tests using clean sand with residual DowFax 8390 and Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) were consistent with those of batch tests. In the presence of DowFax 8390 (less than 0.5 wt.%), the PCE saturations were underestimated by up to 20%. Adsorbed surfactants on a loamy sand with positively charged oxides showed false indications of PCE saturation based on partitioning tracers in the absence of PCE. Using no surfactant (background soil) gave a false PCE saturation of 0.0004, while soil contacted by AMA 80, Brij 97, and DowFax 8390 gave false PCE saturations of 0.0024, 0.043, and 0.23, respectively.     

Preparations of organobentonite using nonionic surfactants

Due to hydrophilic environment at its surface, natural bentonite is an ineffective sorbent for nonpolar nonionic organic compounds in water even though it has high surface area. The surface properties of natural bentonite can be greatly modified by simple ion-exchange reactions with large organic cations (cationic surfactants) and this organobentonite is highly effective in removing nonionic organic compounds from water. Cationic surfactant derived organobentonites have been investigated extensively for a wide variety of environmental applications. In this study, the preparation of organobentonite using nonionic surfactants has been investigated for the first time. Results indicate that nonionic surfactants intercalates into the interlamellar space of bentonite and may demonstrate higher sorption capacity than cationic surfactant. It is possible to create large interlayer spacing and high organic carbon content organobentonite by use of nonionic surfactants with suitable balance between the hydrocarbon and ethylene oxide chain lengths. In addition, nonionic surfactant derived organobentonites are more chemically stable than cationic surfactant derived organobentonites.
