In the study, both nitrate and nitrite could be removed effectively using sulfur-limestone, and the bacteria involved in sulfur-based denitrification for nitrate and nitrite removal were of the same species. 相似文献
Chemical reduction of nitrate using metal nanoparticles has received increasing interest due to over-dependence on groundwater and consequence health hazard of the nitrate ion. One major drawback of this technique is the agglomeration of nanoparticles leading to the formation of large flocs. A low cost biopolymeric material, poly [β-(1 → 4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose] (β-PADG) obtained from deacetylated chitin was used as stabilizer to synthesize zero valent nickel (ZVNi) nanoparticles. The β-PADG-ZVNi nanocomposite was characterized using infra red (IR), UV-Vis spectrophotometric techniques and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The morphology of the composite showed that β-PADG stabilized-ZVNi nanoparticles were present as discrete particles. The mean particle size was estimated to be (7.76 ± 2.98) nm and surface area of 87.10 m2/g. The stabilized-ZVNi nanoparticles exhibited markedly greater reactivity for reduction of nitrate in water with 100% conversion within 2 hr contact owing to less agglomeration. Varying the β-PADG-to-ZVNi ratio and the ZVNi-to-nitrate molar ratio generally led to a faster nitrate reduction. About 3.4-fold difference in the specific reaction rate constant suggests that the application of the β-PADG-stabilizer not only increased the specific surface area of the resultant nanoparticles, but also greatly enhanced the surface reactivity of the nanoparticles per unit area. 相似文献
The objective of this study is to obtain information on the calorimetric behaviors of aqueous solutions of hydroxylamine (HA), hydroxylamine chloride (HACl), and hydroxylamine nitrate(HAN) caused by different Fe(III) states (free Fe(III) from Fe(NH4)(SO4)2, Fe(CN)63−, and Fe(EDTA)−). The calorimetric data were obtained with a small-scaled reaction calorimeter, Super-CRC.
In the mixing with Fe(III), HA showed the highest reactivity among three substrates. Free Fe(III) and Fe(EDTA)− showed catalytic effects in the reactions. In the overall heat of reactions, Fe(EDTA)− exceeded free Fe(III), which precipitated as Fe(OH)3 and decreased the chances of interactions with HA. It was suggested that the generation of NH3 had taken place in the process of reducing HA along with Fe(II) oxidation. Fe(CN)63− was less reactive than free Fe(III) and Fe(EDTA)−.
The ability of masking Fe(III) was estimated for CyDTA. The HA including CyDTA had no exothermic peak; however, there was an endothermic peak of the heat flow at Fe(III) injection. CyDTA was found to have the ability to inhibit a violent exothermic reaction of HA. 相似文献
