Adsorption characteristics of benzene on biosolid adsorbent and commercial activated carbons

This study selected biosolids from a petrochemical waste-water treatment plant as the raw material. The sludge was immersed in 0.5-5 M of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) solutions and pyrolyzed at different temperatures and times. Results indicated that the 1-M ZnCl2-immersed biosolids pyrolyzed at 500 degrees C for 30 min could be reused and were optimal biosolid adsorbents for benzene adsorption. Pore volume distribution analysis indicated that the mesopore contributed more than the macropore and micropore in the biosolid adsorbent. The benzene adsorption capacity of the biosolid adsorbent was 65 and 55% of the G206 (granular-activated carbon) and BPL (coal-based activated carbon; Calgon, Carbon Corp.) activated carbons, respectively. Data from the adsorption and desorption cycles indicated that the benzene adsorption capacity of the biosolid adsorbent was insignificantly reduced compared with the first-run capacity of the adsorbent; therefore, the biosolid adsorbent could be reused as a commercial adsorbent, although its production cost is high.     

Adsorption of Cu2+ and methyl orange from aqueous solutions by activated carbons of corncob-derived char wastes

Corncob-derived char wastes (CCW) obtained from biomass conversion to syngas production through corncob steam gasification, which were often discarded, were utilized for preparation of activated carbon by calcination, and KOH and HNO₃ activation treatments, on the view of environment protection and waste recycling. Their adsorption performance in the removal of heavy metal ions and dye molecules from wastewater was evaluated by using Cu²⁺ and methyl orange (MO) as the model pollutant. The surface and structure characteristics of the CCW-based activated carbons (CACs) were investigated by N₂ adsorption, CO₂ adsorption, FT-IR, and He-TPD. The adsorption capacity varied with the activation methods of CACs and different initial solution concentrations, indicating that the adsorption behavior was influenced by not only the surface area and porosity but also the oxygen functional groups on the surface of the CACs. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models, and the adsorption kinetics was evaluated by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models.     

生物基质活性炭对挥发性有机物的吸附

以咖啡渣和柚子皮生物基质为原料用磷酸活化法制成活性炭,探讨了制备条件对活性炭制备的影响,并研究了其对正丁烷的吸附行为。磷酸活化过程中磷酸的用量为生物基质质量的1.5倍为宜,咖啡渣采用超声干燥法,柚子皮采用水热法制备。制备的活性炭对正丁烷均有较好的吸附能力,以柚子皮为原料、磷酸用量为原料质量两倍活化制成的活性炭吸附性能最佳,最大吸附量约为商用活性炭的2倍。吸附剂均能较好地与兰格缪尔曲线相拟合,计算了不同正丁烷覆盖度下的等量吸附热,其变化规律与吸附曲线变化规律相一致。     

活性炭对水中微量酰胺咪嗪吸附规律

选择3种商品活性炭(煤质炭MAC、杏壳炭XAC、椰壳炭YAC),从其对水中微量药物酰胺咪嗪(carbamaz-epine,CBZ)的吸附平衡、吸附等温式、吸附动力学和热力学等方面详细考察了不同种类活性炭对CBZ的吸附去除规律。实验结果表明,3种活性炭与CBZ接触反应10 h后均达到吸附平衡,对CBZ的平衡吸附量在8.3 mg/g左右;比较了Lang-muir和Freundlich两种吸附等温式,发现Langmuir方程更适合描述3种活性炭对CBZ的吸附过程;计算表明3种活性炭的吸附过程均符合拟二级动力学方程,Weber-Morris方程的模拟结果则说明膜扩散和内扩散共同限制了3种活性炭对CBZ的吸附速率;3种活性炭的Ea值分别为29.87 kJ/mol(MAC)、36.02 kJ/mol(XAC)和38.86 kJ/mol(YAC),表明3种活性炭吸附CBZ时同时发生了物理吸附和化学吸附作用,且以化学吸附为主;20～40℃时3种活性炭的△G均为负值,说明3种活性炭对CBZ的吸附反应可以自发进行;MAC、XAC、YAC的△H值分别为-3.10、-3.05和-3.02 kJ/mol,负值表明吸附过程放热,上述△H值较小则说明温度对CBZ的吸附影响不大;3种活性炭吸附CBZ过程的△S值为0.94 J/(mol.K)(MAC)、2.24 J/(mol.K)(XAC)和2.97 J/(mol.K)(YAC),说明吸附过程熵值增加,在外界条件不改变的情况下该吸附过程不可逆,同时可以看出在3种活性炭中,CBZ分子更倾向于吸附在YAC上。     

化学改性活性炭对水中阿特拉津的吸附去除

以5 mol/L HNO3,40%NaOH及5%H2O2对活性炭进行化学改性,采用序批式实验研究了活性炭改性前后对阿特拉津(AT)的吸附平衡特性,并以Langmuir和Freundlich模型对吸附等温线进行了拟合。结合活性炭改性前后孔结构和表面化学的变化特征,探讨了不同改性方法对AT吸附去除的影响效应。结果表明:活性炭经5 mol/L HNO3改性后对AT的吸附性能显著降低;而5%H2O2和40%NaOH改性炭对AT的吸附能力较原炭明显增强,且40%NaOH改性炭的吸附能力大于5%H2O2改性炭。原炭及改性炭对AT的吸附等温线均符合Langmuir模型。HNO3改性炭对AT吸附的降低主要是由于表面酸性基团的增加引起的;H2O2改性炭对AT吸附能力的提高主要是由于比表面积的增大引起的;而NaOH改性炭对AT吸附能力的提高是由比表面积增大和表面碱性基团增加共同作用的结果。几种改性炭和原炭对AT去除率的大小顺序依次为:NaOH改性炭>H2O2改性炭>原炭>HNO3改性炭。

Catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and 4-chlorophenol in the presence of modified activated carbons

The objective of this research was to examine the heterogeneous catalytic decomposition of H(2)O(2) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in the presence of activated carbons modified with chemical pretreatments. The decomposition of H(2)O(2) was suppressed significantly by the change of surface properties including the decreased pH(pzc) modified with oxidizing agent and the reduced active sites occupied by the adsorption of 4-CP. The apparent reaction rate of H(2)O(2) decomposition was dominated by the intrinsic reaction rates on the surface of activated carbon rather than the mass transfer rate of H(2)O(2) to the solid surface. By the detection of chloride ion in suspension, the reduction of 4-CP was not only attributed to the advanced adsorption but also the degradation of 4-CP. The catalytic activity toward 4-CP for the activated carbon followed the inverse sequence of the activity toward H(2)O(2), suggesting that acidic surface functional group could retard the H(2)O(2) loss and reduce the effect of surface scavenging resulting in the increase of the 4-CP degradation efficiency. Few effective radicals were expected to react with 4-CP for the strong effect of surface scavenging, which could explain why the degradation rate of 4-CP observed in this study was so slow and the dechlorination efficiency was independent of the 4-CP concentration in aqueous phase. Results show that the combination of H(2)O(2) and granular activated carbon (GAC) did increase the total removal of 4-CP than that by single GAC adsorption.     

溴化十六烷基吡啶改性沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附

采用溴化十六烷基吡啶(CPB)对天然沸石进行改性制备得到了CPB改性沸石,通过批量吸附实验考察了CPB改性沸石对水中阴离子染料甲基橙的去除作用。结果表明,天然沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附能力很差,而CPB改性沸石则可以有效吸附去除水中的甲基橙。CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附能力随CPB负载量的增加而增加,CPB负载量最大的改性沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附能力最强。双分子层CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的去除率随吸附剂投加量的增加而增加,而CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的单位吸附量则随吸附剂投加量的增加而降低。双分子层CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附平衡数据可以采用Langmuir等温吸附模型加以描述。根据Langmuir模型计算得到的CPB负载量为341 mmol/(kg沸石)的双分子层CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的最大吸附容量为63.7 mg/g(303 K和pH 7)。准二级动力学模型适合用于描述双分子层CPB改性沸石对水中甲基橙的吸附动力学过程。pH和反应温度对双分子层CPB改性沸石吸附水中甲基橙的影响较小。以上结果说明,双分子层CPB改性沸石适合作为一种吸附剂用于去除废水中的甲基橙。

Adsorption of acid dye onto activated carbons prepared from agricultural waste bagasse by ZnCl2 activation

A series of activated carbons were prepared from agricultural waste sugarcane bagasse by chemical activation with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as an activating agent at 500 degrees C and 0.5 h soaking time. The Langmuir surface area and total pore volume were used to estimate the average pore diameter of the carbon products. The values of the surface area and pore volume increased linearly with increase in the impregnation ratio (IR) up to 100 wt%. The adsorption capacities of the derived adsorbents for Acid Orange 10 were measured at 20 degrees C and 40 degrees C to gain further insights into the acidic surface oxides of the adsorbent from the results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis and pH measurement. Adsorption isotherms of the acid dye on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isotherm equations. It was found that the Langmuir model appears to fit the isotherm data better than the Freundlich model. The physical properties of these adsorbents were consistent with the parameters obtained from the isotherm equations.

KMnO4改性活性炭对臭气中甲硫醇的吸附特性

针对普通活性炭对污水厂臭气中甲硫醇吸附量低的问题,采用KMnO4浸渍改性以获得高甲硫醇吸附量的改性活性炭,通过低温氮吸附仪、扫描电子显微镜和Boehm滴定等表征揭示改性后活性炭吸附量提高的原因,并进行改性活性炭吸附甲硫醇的动力学和热力学研究。结果表明:在KMnO_4浓度为1%、温度为25℃、活性炭与浸渍液质量比为8∶100的条件下浸渍6 h,改性活性炭对甲硫醇的静态吸附量最高,达到344.22 mg·g~(-1),是未改性前的4.04倍:改性活性炭对甲硫醇吸附量提高的原因主要是表面碱性基团的增加(是原来的2.53倍),以及微孔容积和比表面积的增加。改性活性炭对甲硫醇的吸附符合准二级动力学模型,同时粒子内扩散模型显示吸附过程由气相扩散和内扩散共同作用;符合Freundlich吸附等温方程,具有多层吸附特征,且吸附容易进行,属于优惠吸附,是一个自发、放热和熵减的过程,升温不利于对甲硫醇的吸附。

Adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4-chloro-2-metylphenoxyacetic acid onto activated carbons derived from various lignocellulosic materials

Adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-metylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) from aqueous solution onto activated carbons derived from various lignocellulosic materials including willow, miscanthus, flax, and hemp shives was investigated. The adsorption kinetic data were analyzed using two kinetic models: the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equations. The adsorption kinetics of both herbicides was better represented by the pseudo-second order model. The adsorption isotherms of 2,4-D and MCPA on the activated carbons were analyzed using the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The equilibrium data followed the Langmuir isotherm. The effect of pH on the adsorption was also studied. The results showed that the activated carbons prepared from the lignocellulosic materials are efficient adsorbents for the removal of 2,4-D and MCPA from aqueous solutions.     

The concurrent observation of methyl iodide and dimethyl sulphide in marine air; implications for sources of atmospheric methyl iodide

Continuous atmospheric measurements of methyl iodide and dimethyl sulphide were carried out at Mace Head, western Ireland, over a 4-week period in July 1996. The concurrent observations of methyl iodide and dimethyl sulphide reported here display a clear association, indeed statistical analysis indicated a very significant degree of covariance. A simple yet informative use of modelled 5-day back trajectories was employed in tandem with examination of local meteorology to illuminate the geographical source regions of methyl iodide and dimethyl sulphide. The interpretation of the atmospheric observations in terms of air-mass flow has elucidated part of the global methyl iodide cycle and provides evidence for two distinct source regions of methyl iodide:1. Under certain synoptic meteorological conditions, long-range transport of methyl iodide and dimethyl sulphide was observed from discrete areas of the sub-tropical Atlantic Ocean located in a region between 30–50°N and 20–50°W.2. Measurements taken under different conditions led us to believe that there was an additional source of methyl iodide that influenced the Mace Head atmosphere, most likely produced by coastal macroalgae which inhabit waters off the western coast of Ireland.
