Removal of congo red dye from water using carbon slurry waste

A cheaper adsorbent has been prepared from carbon slurry waste obtained from National Fertilizer Limited (NFL), Panipat and investigated for the removal of congo red, an anionic dye. Its adsorption on prepared carbonaceous adsorbent was studied as a function of contact time, concentration and temperature. The results have shown that carbonaceous adsorbent adsorbs dye to a sufficient extent (272 mg g^-1). A comparative study of adsorption results with those obtained on activated charcoal shows that the carbonaceous adsorbent is ~95% efficient as compared to activated charcoal. Thus, it can be fruitfully used for the removal of dyes from wastewaters.This work has been presented at the National Symposium on Biochemical Sciences: Health and Environmental Aspects (BSHEA—2003), Agra, India (2003).     

不同氢供体下刚果红生物降解动力学研究

研究了不同氢供体对鲍曼不动杆菌（Acinetobacter baumannii） YNWH 226降解刚果红的动力学特征.结果表明,YNWH 226对刚果红的降解反应遵循二级反应动力学方程-dS/dt=K2S2+K1S+K0.乙醇、可溶性淀粉和葡萄糖没有对YNWH 226的降解效率产生明显影响,盐酸萘乙二胺对刚果红的降解产生了明显的抑制作用;柠檬酸、核黄素、维生素C可以促进YNWH 226对刚果红的脱色.菌株YNWH 226对刚果红的降解率,随着溶液中核黄素浓度的增加（0-0.25 mmol·L-1）而增大,并在核黄素为0.25 mmol·L-1时达到最佳值100%.继续提高核黄素的浓度,刚果红的脱色率不能提高.     

计算研究取代基对仲胺与CO2反应动力学过程的影响

本文选取取代的二乙醇胺(DEA)为模型化合物,利用量子化学方法研究了5种不同电负性的取代基(-CH3、-NH2、-OH、-OCH3、-F)分别在DEA氮原子的α和β位取代对仲胺与CO2不同反应路径之间的动力学竞争的影响.研究表明,从动力学方面来看,胺与CO2反应生成氨基甲酸盐是最可行的反应通道,其次是生成碳酸氢盐,而生成氨基甲酸难以实现. 3条反应路径的动力学竞争顺序和伯胺是相同的.研究发现,反应能垒Ea除与胺的pKa值相关外,还与胺的分子结构特性相关,比如:分子内氢键的形成会影响Ea.在将来的理想胺溶液的设计过程中,要综合考虑胺的pKa值及胺的微观结构对胺与CO2反应的动力学的影响.     

Adsorptive removal of Drimarine Red HF-3D dye from aqueous solution using low-cost agricultural waste: batch and column study

This study involves the utilisation of peanut husk for the removal of Drimarine Red HF-3D dye from aqueous solutions. Batch study experiments were conducted with native, HNO₃-treated and Na-alginate-immobilised peanut husk biomass. Maximum dye removal (95.24 mg/g) was obtained with HNO₃-treated biomass. The experimental data were successfully explained with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model for all types of biosorbents. The equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. A thermodynamic study was also carried out to check the nature of the adsorption process. A fixed-bed column study for Drimarine Red HF-3D was carried out to optimise the effect of bed height, flow rate and initial dye concentration using peanut husk biomass. The column study showed that biosorption capacity increased with the increase in initial dye concentration and bed height, but decreased with increased flow rate. Data for Drimarine Red HF-3D were in very good agreement with the bed depth service time model. Fourier transform infrared analysis demonstrated the involvement of different functional groups in dye biosorption. These results showed that peanut husk biomass possessed good potential for the removal of Drimarine Red HF-3D from aqueous solution.     

Spectrophotometry determination of Congo red in river water samples using nanosilver

A spectrophotometric procedure for the anionic diazo dye Congo red was proposed based on nanosilver catalyzed oxidation by potassium iodate in a hydrochloric acid medium. The calibration graph is linear for 0.8–240?mg?L^?1, and the detection limit is 0.6?mg?L^?1. Most foreign ions do not interfere with the determination, except for Cu(II), Fe(III), and Cr(VI). The interferences of Cu(II) and Fe(III) could be eliminated by masking with ethylene diamine tetraacetate, and that of Cr(VI) by reducing to Cr(III) with ascorbic acid. The typical features of this procedure are that it is sensitive for Congo red, and the determination could be carried out at room temperature. It had been used for the determination of Congo red in the Ganjnameh river water sample.     

Removal of selenite using ‘waste’ Fe(III)/Cr(III) hydroxide: Adsorption kinetics and isotherms

Removal of selenite [Se (IV)] from aqueous solution on to industrial solid ‘waste’ Fe(III)/Cr(III) hydroxide as adsorbent was investigated in the present article. Maximum adsorption was found to be at pH 4.0. Pretreated Fe(III)/Cr(III) hydroxide was found to be more efficient for the removal of selenite compared to untreated adsorbent. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms have been studied. The Langmuir adsorption capacity (Q ₀) of the pretreated and untreated adsorbents was found to be 15.63 and 6.04?mg?g^?1, respectively. The adsorption process fit into the second-order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic in the temperature range 32 to 60°C. Coexisting anions vanadate and phosphate significantly affect the adsorption of selenite for both the pretreated and untreated adsorbents. Molybdate, thiocyanate, sulphate, nitrate and chloride do not significantly affect the removal of selenite for pretreated adsorbent.     

Adsorption of cadmium from aqueous solution using Rooibos shoots as adsorbent

The use of Rooibos shoots, a natural adsorbent, for cadmium removal from wastewater is proposed. The effects of initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentration were investigated in the batch adsorption mode. The optimum pH was found to be 5.5. Isotherm and kinetic data were modeled; the data fitted best to the Freundlich model, and, kinetically, the adsorption was of pseudo-second order as shown by the high R² value of 0.9928 along with close agreement between the experimental q_e (13.9 mg g^?1) and calculated q_e (14.24 mg g^?1) values. The studied biomass material was found to be effectively used for removal of cadmium from contaminated mine wastewater.

Preparation and characterization of β-FeOOH-coated sand and its adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions

Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to explore the adsorption of Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions by β-FeOOH-coated sand. We investigated the key factors which affected the adsorption process such as adsorbent dosage, initial pH, initial Cr(VI) ion concentration, contact time and temperature. The uptake of Cr(VI) was very rapid and 44.3%, 51.6%, 58.9% of the adsorption happened during the first 180 minutes at 293K, 303K and 313K, respectively. The pseudo-second-order rate equation successfully described the adsorption kinetics. To study the adsorption isotherm, two equilibrium models, the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, were adopted. At 293K, 303K and 313K, the adsorption capacities obtained from the Langmuir isotherm were 0.060, 0.070 and 0.076 mg Cr(VI) per gram of the adsorbent, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters such as the change of energy, enthalpy and entropy were calculated using the equilibrium constants. The negative value of ΔG0 and the positive value of ΔH0 showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions by β-FeOOH-coated sand was spontaneous, endothermic and occurred by physisorption.

·Cl引发3种环状含有NH结构有机化合物的大气转化机制及动力学

氯自由基(·Cl)的高氧化性及其内陆来源的新发现使得·Cl在评估有机污染物的大气归趋方面起着比以往更为重要的作用。含有NHx (x=1, 2)结构的有机化合物不仅是大气中一类潜在的有机污染物,也是大气中致癌性亚硝胺的前驱体——N中心自由基的重要来源。前人研究发现,·Cl与含有NHx (x=1, 2)结构的有机化合物具有独特的相互作用且其反应具有结构依赖性。目前,大多数研究只关注链状含有NHx (x=1, 2)结构有机化合物的反应,而对于环状含有NH结构有机化合物的反应研究却很少。本研究使用量子化学和动力学模拟相结合的方法研究·Cl引发3种环状含有NH结构有机化合物(吗啉(MOR)、哌啶(PIP)和吡咯烷(PYR))的大气转化机制及动力学。结果发现,·Cl夺取3种环状含有NH结构有机化合物中N-H的H原子形成N中心自由基是最可行的反应路径。在298 K和1 atm下,计算的反应速率常数分别为5.0×10^-10 (MOR)、5.1×10^-10 (PIP)和4.9×10^-10 (PYR)cm³·molecule^-1·s^-1,且具有正的温度依附性。结合可获得的·OH引发反应的反应速率常数,评估·Cl对MOR和PIP转化的贡献分别为·OH的2.6%~26%和6.9%~69%。上述研究结果为将来建立·Cl引发含有NHx (x=1, 2)结构有机化合物反应的结构-活性关系、全面评估含有NHx (x=1, 2)结构有机化合物的大气归趋和环境风险提供数据支持。
