Flower-, wire-, and sheet-like MnO2-deposited diatomites: Highly efficient absorbents for the removal of Cr(VI)

Flower-, wire-, and sheet-like MnO₂-deposited diatomites have been prepared using a hydrothermal method with Mn(Ac)₂, KMnO₄ and/or MnSO₄ as Mn source and diatomite as support. Physical properties of the materials were characterized by means of numerous analytical techniques, and their behaviors in the adsorption of chromium(VI) were evaluated. It is shown that the MnO₂-deposited diatomite samples with different morphologies possessed high surface areas and abundant surface hydroxyl groups (especially the wire-like MnO₂/diatomite sample). The wire-like MnO₂/diatomite sample showed the best performance in the removal of Cr(VI), giving the maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of 101 mg/g.

Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution with bamboo charcoal chemically modified by iron and cobalt with the assistance of microwave

Bamboo charcoal (BC) was used as starting material to prepare Co-Fe binary oxideloaded adsorbent (Co-Fe-MBC) through its impregnation in Co(NO3)2 , FeCl3 and HNO3 solutions simultaneously, followed by microwave heating. The low-cost composite was characterized and used as an adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal from water. The results showed that a cobalt and iron binary oxide (CoFe2O4 ) was uniformly formed on the BC through redox reactions. The composite exhibited higher surface area (331 m2/g) than that of BC or BC loaded with Fe alone (Fe-MBC). The adsorption of Cr(VI) strongly depended on solution pH, temperature and ionic strength. The adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir isotherm model well, and the maximum adsorption capacities for Cr(VI) at 288 K and pH 5.0 were 35.7 and 51.7 mg/g for Fe-MBC and Co-Fe-MBC, respectively. The adsorption processes were well fitted by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto both adsorbents was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic under the studied conditions. The spent Co-Fe-MBC could be readily regenerated for reuse.     

铜在壳核结构磁性颗粒上的吸附:效能与表面性质的关系

为了揭示吸附剂的吸附效能与其组成、结构及表面性质之间的关系,本研究对两种壳核结构磁性颗粒Fe_3O_4/Mn O2与Fe-Mn/Mn O2的形貌特征、表面性质进行了系统表征,并对铜在磁性颗粒表面的吸附行为与机制进行了详细研究.表征结果表明磁核Fe_3O_4与Fe-Mn具有相似的尖晶石类晶体结构,包覆Mn O2后,晶体结构均未发生明显变化.但Mn的引入,增强了磁核与外壳间的结合作用,Fe-Mn比Fe_3O_4包覆MnO_2的量更多、更均匀,进而使Fe-Mn/Mn O2具有更高的比表面积与更低的等电点.吸附实验结果表明,Fe-Mn的最大铜吸附容量33.7 mg·g-1(pH 5.5)高于Fe_3O_4的17.5 mg·g-1(pH 5.5);包覆MnO_2以后,铜吸附性能显著增强,Fe-Mn/MnO_2最大铜吸附容量升高至58.2 mg·g-1(p H 5.5),为Fe_3O_4/MnO_2的2.6倍,且优于多数文献报道的磁性吸附剂.机制研究表明铜在Fe_3O_4/Mn O2与Fe-Mn/MnO_2的表面发生了特性吸附,形成了内层表面络合物.综上所述,磁性颗粒的吸附效能与其组成成分、形貌结构及表面性质之间具有显著的相关性.     

磁性核壳CoFe2O4@SiO2@PIL-AO复合材料的制备及其吸附U (VI)性能研究

通过化学合成法制备了磁性核壳CoFe₂O₄@SiO₂@PIL-AO复合材料,采用傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、扫描电镜（SEM）和X射线光电子能谱（XPS）对其进行了表征,研究了溶液pH、吸附时间、U （VI）初始浓度和温度等参数对U （VI）吸附性能的影响.实验结果表明：在c₀=0.2 mg·L^-1、pH=6.00±0.05、T=298.15 K、m=0.02 g和t=8 h的条件下,CoFe₂O₄@SiO₂@PIL-AO对U （VI）的吸附作用最强,吸附率达到了97.54%;CoFe₂O₄@SiO₂@PIL-AO吸附U （VI）是一个自发进行的吸热反应,U （VI）吸附动力学符合准二级动力学模型,吸附等温线符合Freundlich模型;CoFe₂O₄@SiO₂@PIL-AO复合材料具有良好的可循环使用性,循环使用5次后它对U （VI）的吸附容量没有明显下降,可重复使用.     

脉冲介质阻挡放电下MnOx-CeO2催化氧化碳烟的关键表面物种研究

采用柠檬酸络合法制备了Mn/(Mn+Ce)原子比为0.4的MnO_x-CeO_2复合氧化物,使其分别在有和无脉冲介质阻挡放电条件下,多次催化氧化碳烟.采用XRD、BET、Raman和XPS对新制备未反应过的和各次反应后的MnO_x-CeO_2进行表征.结果发现,在初次反应中,脉冲介质阻挡放电对反应具有强化作用,使MnO_x-CeO_2具备更好的活性.在放电和无放电2种条件下,催化剂第2次反应的活性均较第1次有所降低,且放电条件下降幅更大,而在第3次反应时催化剂活性在两种条件下均保持稳定状态.以上现象原因为,初次反应,两种条件下高温使MnO_x-CeO_2中Mn-Ce-O固溶体发生相分离,部分Mn析出生成了Mn_3O_4;未引入放电时催化剂表面发生不可逆还原的Mn~(4+)量更少,且拥有更多Ce~(3+)并产生了本征氧空位及更多的表面氧;放电的引入,加剧了初次反应时MnO_x-CeO_2表面Mn~(4+)向Mn~(3+)和Mn~(2+)的转化,使其具备更高的活性,但也抑制了Mn~(4+)的恢复,降低了催化剂的活性.在随后的反应中,有无放电催化剂均保持了稳定.脉冲介质阻挡放电对MnO_x-CeO_2反应的关键因素Mn~(4+)、本征氧空位和表面氧产生了重要影响,这种影响在初次反应时并不可逆,进而减弱了放电对反应的强化作用,该现象不可忽视,值得进一步研究.     

钛基石墨烯复合材料的制备及其光催化还原Cr（VI）的研究

通过改进的Hummers法制备氧化石墨烯(GO),再将氧化石墨烯和钛酸四丁酯作为初始反应物,利用溶剂热法制备Ti O_2/RGO纳米复合材料.利用SEM、TEM、XPS、XRD等分析手段对Ti O_2/RGO纳米复合材料进行表征,考察其在可见光照射条件下光催化还原水中Cr(Ⅵ)的效能,并对光催化还原机制进行了初步探讨.结果表明,Ti O_2/RGO复合材料的光催化还原能力与单一Ti O_2(P25)相比有了显著提高;复合材料中RGO含量、溶液p H值、催化剂投加量、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度均对光催化还原过程有所影响,当复合材料中RGO含量比例为2%、溶液p H值为2,催化剂投加量为40 mg时,光催化还原Cr(Ⅵ)的效率可达98%.光催化还原Cr(Ⅵ)的过程是吸附过程和光催化还原过程的共同作用结果,RGO不但提高了复合材料的吸附能力,还作为复合材料的电子导体,抑制了光生电子-空穴对的复合,增强了复合材料的光催化性能.经过5次循环使用后,复合材料的光催化还原效率仍然保持在90%左右.     

Simultaneous removal of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) by Mg–Al–Cl layered double hydroxide and mechanism insight

Mg–Al–Cl layered double hydroxide (Cl-LDH) was prepared to simultaneously remove Cu(II) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The coexisting Cu(II) (20 mg/L) and Cr(VI) (40 mg/L) were completely removed within 30 min by Cl-LDH in a dosage of 2.0 g/L; the removal rate of Cu(II) was accelerated in the presence of Cr(VI). Moreover, compared with the adsorption of single Cu(II) or Cr(VI), the adsorption capacities of Cl-LDH for Cu(II) and Cr(VI) can be improved by 81.05% and 49.56%, respectively, in the case of coexisting Cu(II) (200 mg/L) and Cr(VI) (400 mg/L). The affecting factors (such as solution initial pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time) have been systematically investigated. Besides, the changes of pH values and the concentrations of Mg²⁺ and Al³⁺ in relevant solutions were monitored. To get the underlying mechanism, the Cl-LDH samples before and after adsorption were thoroughly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. On the basis of these analyses, a possible mechanism was proposed. The coadsorption process involves anion exchange of Cr(VI) with Cl⁻ in Cl-LDH interlayer, isomorphic substitution of Mg²⁺ with Cu²⁺, formation of Cu₂Cl(OH)₃ precipitation, and the adsorption of Cr(VI) by Cu₂Cl(OH)₃. This work provides a new insight into simultaneous removal of heavy metal cations and anions from wastewater by Cl-LDH.     

Polyphenylene sulfide based anion exchange fiber: Synthesis, characterization and adsorption of Cr(VI)

A fibrous strong base anion exchanger (QAPPS) was prepared for the first time via chloromethylation and quaternary amination reaction of polyphenylene sulfide fiber (PPS), and its physical-chemical structure and adsorption behavior for Cr(VI) were characterized by FT-IR, Energy Dispersive Spectrometry, TG-DTG, elemental analysis and batch adsorptive technique, respectively. The novel fibrous adsorbent could effectively adsorb Cr(VI) over the pH range 1-12, the maximum adsorption capacity was 166.39 mg/g at pH 3.5, and the adsorption behavior could be described well by Langmuir isotherm equation model. The adsorption kinetics was studied using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order models, and the t_1/2 and equilibrium adsorption time were 5 and 20 min respectively when initial Cr(VI) concentration was 100 mg/L. The saturated fibers could be regenerated rapidly by a mixed solution of 0.5 mol/L NaOH and 0.5 mol/L NaCl, and the adsorption capacity was well maintained after six adsorption-desorption cycles.     

Preparation of cross-linked magnetic chitosan with quaternary ammonium and its application for Cr(VI) and P(V) removal

Pollutants that exist in anionic species are issues of concern in water treatment. Compared to cationic pollutants, the removal of anionic pollutants by adsorption is more difficult because most adsorbents carry predominantly negative charges in neutral and alkaline environments. In this study, a cross-linked chitosan derivative with quaternary ammonium and magnetic properties（QM-chitosan） was prepared and employed to remove chromium（VI） and phosphorus（V）（Cr（VI） and P（V）） from aqueous environments. The QM-chitosan was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry（FT-IR）,thermogravimetric analysis（TGA）, energy dispersive X-ray（SEM-EDX） and zeta potential.Batch experiments show that QM-chitosan can effectively remove Cr（VI） and P（V）, and the main mechanism was believed to be electrostatic interaction. A pseudosecond-order model was fitted to describe the kinetic processes of Cr（VI） and P（V） removal. The adsorption isotherms of both Cr（VI） and P（V） on the QM-chitosan were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The saturated adsorption capacity of P（V）（2.783 mmol/g） was found to be higher than that of Cr（VI）（2.323 mmol/g）, resulting from the size of the H2PO-4ions being smaller than that of the HCr O-4ions. However, the theoretical calculation and experimental results showed that QM-chitosan had a stronger affinity for Cr（VI） than P（V）. The adsorption–desorption of the QM-chitosan was evaluated, and high regeneration rates were demonstrated.     

二氧化锰氧化降解金霉素的动力学研究

研究了金霉素(CTC)在二氧化锰(MnO2)作用下的氧化降解过程,并讨论了初始MnO2浓度、体系pH及温度对降解反应的影响.无MnO2存在时,CTC没有发生降解.但是当体系中存在MnO2时,CTC浓度开始迅速下降,反应后期降解速率逐渐变慢;同时体系中二价锰离子(Mn2+)浓度逐渐升高,表明MnO2可以降解CTC,该过程是一个氧化还原反应.采用草酸溶解MnO2和过滤2种不同的方法终止反应,对比2种方法所得的结果,可以发现该反应过程中,开始阶段降解作用占主导地位,在反应达到平衡后吸附作用才明显.CTC的降解速率随着MnO2初始浓度的增加和体系温度的升高均显著加快.反应体系的pH能强烈影响CTC的氧化降解,降解速率随着pH的升高而明显降低.这是由于CTC随体系pH由3.77升高到7.41时,分别以阳离子、中性形态和阴离子的形式存在;而-δMnO2(pHzpc=2.25)表面在pH3.77的整个范围内均呈现为负电性.因此随pH升高,阴离子形态的CTC逐渐增多,导致其在MnO2表面的吸附作用减弱,从而使降解速率变缓.     

Phase transformation of Cr(VI)-adsorbed ferrihydrite in the presence of Mn(II): Fate of Mn(II) and Cr(VI)

Ferrihydrite is an important sink for the toxic heavy metal ions, such as Cr(VI). As ferrihydrite is thermodynamically unstable and gradually transforms into hematite and goethite, the stability of Cr(VI)-adsorbed ferrihydrite is environmentally significant. This study investigated the phase transformation of Cr(VI)-adsorbed ferrihydrite at different pH in the presence of aqueous Mn(II), as well as the fate of Mn(II) and Cr(VI) in the transformation process of ferrihydrite. Among the ferrihydrite transformation products, hematite was dominant, and goethite was minor. The pre-adsorbed Cr(VI) inhibited the conversion of ferrihydrite to goethite at initial pH 3.0, whereas little amount of adsorbed Mn(II) favored the formation of goethite at initial pH 7.0. After the aging process, Cr species in solid phase existed primarily as Cr(III) in the presence of Mn(II) at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0. The aqueous Mn concentration was predominantly unchanged at initial pH 3.0, whereas the aqueous Mn(II) was adsorbed onto ferrihydrite or form Mn(OH)₂ precipitates at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0, promoting the immobilization of Cr(VI). Moreover, the oxidation of Mn(II) occurred at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0, forming Mn(III/IV) (hydr)oxides.

Synthesis, characterization and application of Lagerstroemia speciosa embedded magnetic nanoparticle for Cr(VI) adsorption from aqueous solution

Lagerstroemia speciosa bark (LB) embedded magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ salt solution with ammonia and LB for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution. The native LB, magnetic nanoparticle (MNP), L. speciosa embedded magnetic nanoparticle (MNPLB) and Cr(VI) adsorbed MNPLB particles were characterized by SEM–EDX, TEM, BET-surface area, FT-IR, XRD and TGA methods. TEM analysis confirmed nearly spherical shape of MNP with an average diameter of 8.76 nm and the surface modification did not result in the phase change of MNP as established by XRD analysis, while led to the formation of secondary particles of MNPLB with diameter of 18.54 nm. Characterization results revealed covalent binding between the hydroxyl group of MNP and carboxyl group of LB particles and further confirmed its physico-chemical nature favorable for Cr(VI) adsorption. The Cr(VI) adsorption on to MNPLB particle as an adsorbent was tested under different contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, adsorbent dose, initial pH, temperature and agitation speed. The results of the equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption were well described by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters suggest spontaneous and endothermic nature of Cr(VI) adsorption onto MNPLB. The maximum adsorption capacity for MNPLB was calculated to be 434.78 mg/g and these particles even after Cr(VI) adsorption were collected effortlessly from the aqueous solution by a magnet. The desorption of Cr(VI)-adsorbed MNPLB was found to be more than 93.72% with spent MNPLB depicting eleven successive adsorption–desorption cycles.     

BS+DAS复配修饰膨润土吸附Cr(Ⅵ)和Cd2+的研究

为了研究两性-阴离子复配修饰膨润土对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的吸附性能差异及其机理,并为两性复配修饰黏土矿物治理重金属污染水体提供依据,采用阴离子型有机修饰剂1-癸烷磺酸钠(DAS)复配修饰两性修饰剂十二烷基二甲基甜菜碱(BS-12或BS)修饰膨润土,研究各供试土样对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的等温吸附曲线及不同温度、pH值和离子强度条件对吸附的影响.结果表明,Langmuir模型能较好地拟合各修饰土样对不同类型重金属离子(Cr(VI)和Cd2+)的吸附曲线,其对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的平衡吸附量均呈现BS+150DAS(150%CEC DAS复配修饰膨润土)BS+100DASBS+50DASBS+25DASBSCK(膨润土)的趋势,且对Cr(VI)、Cd2+的最大吸附量(qm)分别为85.92 mmol·kg-1(100BS+150DAS)和321.89 mmol·kg-1(100BS+150DAS).各供试土样对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的吸附均表现为自发、焓增和熵增的特征,升温可增加其对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的最大吸附量.酸性环境有利于各修饰土样对Cr(VI)的吸附,而不利于对Cd2+的吸附.离子强度增加均降低了各修饰土样对Cr(VI)和Cd2+的吸附.     

投加颗粒活性炭和二氧化锰对剩余污泥厌氧消化的影响

厌氧系统添加碳和金属纳米材料是强化厌氧消化的有效策略.为考察投加GAC和MnO₂对剩余污泥厌氧消化过程的影响,设置了空白组（R0）、GAC组（R1）、MnO₂组（R2）以及GAC/MnO₂组（R3）4组间歇实验,研究GAC和MnO₂的投加对剩余污泥厌氧消化效率、微生物活性和微生物群落结构的影响.结果表明,反应器运行28 d后,与R0相比,R1和R3的产CH₄速率分别提高了68.18%和51.35%,R2的产CH₄量降低了21.25%.GAC和MnO₂的单独或者混合投加,对厌氧发酵过程均有促进作用.Mn²⁺与剩余污泥释放的磷酸盐生成磷酸盐沉淀对厌氧代谢通道的阻塞作用,造成R2产CH₄效率变低.GAC优良导电性、吸附能力和MnO₂/Mn²⁺的催化作用是R3产CH₄效率增强的主要原因.正常代谢条件下,投加GAC、MnO₂和GAC/MnO₂均可以提高污泥厌氧消化系统微生物活性.微生物群落分析表明,GAC和MnO₂促进了产甲烷菌Methanobacterium和Methanosaeta的富集,强化了发酵细菌和产甲烷菌的种间电子传递,促进了剩余污泥厌氧发酵过程和CH₄的产生.     

Adsorptive behaviors of humic acid onto freshly prepared hydrous manganese dioxides

This study focused on the adsorptive behaviors of humic acid onto freshly prepared hydrous MnO₂(s) (δMnO₂), and investigated the feasibility of employing δMnO₂ for humic acid removal from drinking water. Effects of such parameters as molecular mass of humic acid, kinds of divalent cations on adsorptive behaviors and possible mechanisms involved were investigated. This study indicated that humic acid with higher molecular mass exhibited more tendency of adsorbing onto δMnO₂ than that with lower molecular mass. Ca²⁺ facilitated more humic acid adsorption than Mg²⁺; UV-Vis spectra analysis indicated higher capabilities of Ca²⁺ coordinating with acidic functional groups of humic acid than that of Mg²⁺. Additionally, ζ potential characterization indicated that Ca²⁺ showed higher potential of increasing gz potential of δMnO₂ than Mg²⁺. Ca²⁺ of 1.0 mmol/L increased ζ potential of δMnO₂ from −37 mV (pH 7.9) to +7 mV (pH 7.2), while 1.0 mmol/L Mg²⁺ increased to lower value as −9 mV (pH 6.5), correspondingly. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra demonstrated the adsorption of humic acid onto δMnO₂, showing the important roles of-COO⁻ functional groups and surface Mn-OH in the adsorption of humic acid onto δMnO₂.

Kinetics and mechanism of hexavalent chromium removal by basic oxygen furnace slag

Basic oxygen furnace slag(BOFS) has the potential to remove hexavalent chromium(Cr(VI))from wastewater by a redox process due to the presence of minerals containing Fe2+. The effects of the solution p H, initial Cr(VI) concentration, BOFS dosage, BOFS particle size, and temperature on the removal of Cr(VI) was investigated in detail through batch tests. The chemical and mineral compositions of fresh and reacted BOFS were characterized using scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS)system and X-ray diffractometer(XRD). The results show that Cr(VI) in wastewater can be efficiently removed by Fe2+released from BOFS under appropriate acidic conditions. The removal of Cr(VI) by BOFS significantly depended on the parameters mentioned above. The reaction of Cr(VI) with BOFS followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Fe2+responsible for Cr(VI) removal was primarily derived from the dissolution of Fe O and Fe3O4 in BOFS. When H2SO4 was used to adjust the solution acidity, gypsum(Ca SO4·2H2O)could be formed and become an armoring precipitate layer on the BOFS surface, hindering the release of Fe2+and the removal of Cr(VI). Finally, the main mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by BOFS was described using several consecutive reaction steps.     

硅藻土负载纳米铁对Cd2+的吸附性能与机制研究

为了提高硅藻土(CDt)的吸附能力,采用NaBH_4液相还原二价铁法合成负载纳米铁的硅藻土颗粒(nZVI-CDt),运用扫描电镜(SEM)、傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对nZVI-CDt进行表征,采用静态吸附法研究不同吸附条件对CDt和nZVI-CDt吸附Cd~(2+)的影响,并结合等温吸附属性、吸附过程控制步骤以及吸附动力学、热力学属性分析探讨了CDt和nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附机制.结果表明,负载纳米铁后,硅藻土的团聚现象得到改善,分散性更好,表面活性基团向有利于吸附方向发生变化,吸附能力得到显著提升,相对于CDt,nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附量提升了3.9倍;nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附较为迅速,20 min左右就可达到吸附平衡;随着投加量的增加,nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附量呈下降趋势,而初始浓度对Cd~(2+)的吸附影响则正好相反;相对于CDt,溶液初始pH值对nZVI-CDt吸附Cd~(2+)的影响明显减弱;nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附能力受温度影响不大;nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附符合Temkin等温吸附模型和拟二级动力学模型.吸附反应容易进行,且以物理吸附为主,吸附过程控制步骤为发生在微孔内的吸附反应.吸附热力学参数表明CDt和nZVI-CDt对Cd~(2+)的吸附是自发的吸热过程,且系统的无序性增加.     

Preparation, characterization and application of CuCrO2/ZnO photocatalysts for the reduction of Cr(VI)

The delafossite CuCrO₂ elaborated by sol-gel from 40 nm diameter colloid is optically active in the visible region. It is characterized physically and photoelectrochemically. The microstructure is fairly homogenous with a mean crystallite size of ca. 2 μm. The optical gap (1.30 eV), determined from the diffuse reflectance, is well suited to the sunlight spectrum. The Mott Schottky plot is characteristic of P-type conductivity with a flat band potential of -0.26 V_SCE. As application, the photoreduction of chromate is successfully achieved in air-equilibrated suspension CuCrO₂/ZnO (1/1). CuCrO₂ is photoactivated by visible light and the electrons in the conduction band (-1.34 V_SCE) are injected to ZnO. In the presence of salicylic acid, a conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) of 57% is obtained under optimal conditions (pH 3 at 25℃, 5×10^-4 mol/L) because of the HCrO₄^- dark adsorption onto ZnO (4HCrO₄^- + 3C₇H₆O₃ + 18O₂ + 16H⁺ → 4Cr³⁺ + 21CO₂ + 19H₂O, ΔG⁰ = -557 kcal/mol). Prolonged illumination is accompanied by a deceleration in the photoactivity owing to the competitive water reduction, an issue of energetic concern. The hetero-system exhibits self sensitization for hydrogen production with an evolution rate of 149 μmol/(hr·g).
