Adsorption of VOCs on reduced graphene oxide

A modified Hummer's method was adopted for the synthesis of graphene oxide(GO) and reduced graphene oxide(rGO). It was revealed that the modified method is effective for the production of GO and rGO from graphite. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) images of GO and rGO showed a sheet-like morphology. Because of the presence of oxygenated functional groups on the carbon surface, the interlayer spacing of the prepared GO was higher than that of rGO. The presence of \OH and C_O groups in the Fourier transform infrared spectra(FTIR) spectrum and G-mode and 2D-mode in Raman spectra confirmed the synthesis of GO and rGO. rGO(292.6 m~2/g) showed higher surface area than that of GO(236.4 m~2/g). The prepared rGO was used as an adsorbent for benzene and toluene(model pollutants of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)) under dynamic adsorption/desorption conditions. rGO showed higher adsorption capacity and breakthrough times than GO. The adsorption capacity of rGO for benzene and toluene was 276.4 and 304.4 mg/g, respectively.Desorption experiments showed that the spent rGO can be successfully regenerated by heating at 150.0°C. Its excellent adsorption/desorption performance for benzene and toluene makes rGO a potential adsorbent for VOC adsorption.     

Transesterification of Pistacia chinensis seed oil using a porous cellulose-based magnetic heterogeneous catalyst

In the present work, a novel cellulose-based porous heterogeneous solid acid catalyst encapsulation of ferriferous oxide (Fe₃O₄) and sulfonated graphene (GO-SO₃H) into cellulose to form composite porous microspheres catalyst (GO-SO₃H/CM@Fe₃O₄)was synthesized and evaluated for biodiesel production from Pistacia chinensis seed oil. The SEM, EDS and FTIR analysis revealed that the catalyst GO-SO₃H/CM@Fe₃O₄ owned stronger active sites and GO-SO₃H dispersed well in porous surface and inside of cellulose support. Under the optimum conditions, microwave-assisted transesterification process was carried out with the best catalyst amount, i.e. 5 wt% GO-SO₃H/CM@Fe₃O₄ (weight ratio of GO-SO₃H/cellulose), and conversion yield reached 94%. The prepared catalyst could be easily separated from reaction solution by extra magnetic field and reclaimed at least five runs.

石墨烯电极电活化过硫酸盐降解含酚废水研究

以苯酚为目标污染物,利用石墨烯电极自身性质及电活化共同作用下活化过硫酸盐(PDS)产生氧化性自由基降解苯酚,对影响苯酚降解的因素(包括电流密度、初始pH值、PDS浓度及影响反应的主导自由基)进行探讨。通过系统中加入一定量的甲醇和叔丁醇作为自由基猝灭剂的猝灭试验确定降解过程中的主导自由基。结果表明,在未通电情况下石墨烯电极对苯酚也具有去除作用,可以吸附苯酚。在通电情况下,由于电活化和石墨烯活化的双重作用,相比于单一石墨烯体系和单一PDS体系,石墨烯/PDS体系对苯酚的降解率显著提高,在n(PDS)∶n (phenol)为50∶1、苯酚初始质量浓度为25mg/L、pH值为11、电流密度为30 mA/cm²的条件下,在90 min内苯酚的降解率可达98.91%。通过淬灭试验确定在石墨烯/PDS降解苯酚体系中以硫酸根自由基为主(SO₄^-·)、羟基自由基(·OH)为辅。综上所述,在未通电情况下,石墨烯可以利用自身吸附作用去除苯酚,在通电情况下,石墨烯电极利用自身性质以及电活化活化过硫酸盐,与单一PDS体系和单一石墨烯体系相比,有效提高了过硫酸盐的活化程度,提高了苯酚的降解率。

采用L-谷氨酸（L-Glu）改性氧化石墨烯（GO）制备吸附剂L-Glu/GO,并进行了XRD、FTIR和SEM表征。考察了不同因素对L-Glu/GO吸附Cu²⁺的影响,并对L-Glu/GO的吸附-解吸能力进行了研究。实验结果表明：L-Glu/GO对Cu²⁺的吸附在10 min内就可达到吸附平衡;在Cu²⁺初始质量浓度为70 mg/L、初始pH为5、L-Glu/GO投加量为0.200 g/L、吸附时间为120 min、吸附温度为30 ℃的条件下,L-Glu/GO的最大吸附量可达292.460 mg/g。准二级动力学和Langmuir模型能很好地拟合此吸附过程,且显示该吸附过程可促进L-Glu/GO对Cu²⁺的吸附。热力学研究结果表明该吸附过程是一个自发的放热过程。经过5次吸附-解吸循环后,L-Glu/GO对Cu²⁺的吸附率仍在92%以上,表明该吸附剂再生性好,可重复使用。     

One-step ball milling-prepared nano Fe2O3 and nitrogen-doped graphene with high oxygen reduction activity and its application in microbial fuel cells

• Nano Fe₂O₃ and N-doped graphene was prepared via a one-step ball milling method. • The maximum power density of Fe-N-G in MFC was 390% of that of pristine graphite. • Active sites like nano Fe₂O₃, pyridinic N and Fe-N groups were formed in Fe-N-G. • The improvement of Fe-N-G was due to full exposure of active sites on graphene. Developing high activity, low-cost and long durability catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction is of great significance for the practical application of microbial fuel cells. The full exposure of active sites in catalysts can enhance catalytic activity dramatically. Here, novel Fe-N-doped graphene is successfully synthesized via a one-step in situ ball milling method. Pristine graphite, ball milling graphene, N-doped graphene and Fe-N-doped graphene are applied in air cathodes, and enhanced performance is observed in microbial fuel cells with graphene-based catalysts. Particularly, Fe-N-doped graphene achieves the highest oxygen reduction reaction activity, with a maximum power density of 1380±20 mW/m² in microbial fuel cells and a current density of 23.8 A/m² at –0.16 V in electrochemical tests, which are comparable to commercial Pt and 390% and 640% of those of pristine graphite. An investigation of the material characteristics reveals that the superior performance of Fe-N-doped graphene results from the full exposure of Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, pyrrolic N, pyridinic N and excellent Fe-N-G active sites on the graphene matrix. This work not only suggests the strategy of maximally exposing active sites to optimize the potential of catalysts but also provides promising catalysts for the use of microbial fuel cells in sustainable energy generation.

SPEEK涂层纳滤膜处理草甘膦废水

以聚醚砜(PES)超滤膜为基膜,采用涂层法制备磺化聚醚醚酮(SPEEK)中空纤维复合纳滤膜,研究其对草甘膦的浓缩和去除。考察了该膜在浓缩草甘膦模拟废水中的操作条件,如跨膜压力、进料浓度、进料pH和离子强度等对通量和截留率的影响。结果表明,随跨膜压力的增加,草甘膦的截留率和水通量均增加,当跨膜压力由0.3 MPa增加到0.8 MPa时,水通量由34.0 L/(m2.h)增加至98.0 L/(m2·h),截留率高于98%;增加进料浓度和离子强度,截留率和通量均减小,当进料浓度由100 mg/L增至1 000 mg/L,水通量降低12.4%,截留率降低8.4%;而pH由3.0升至11.0时,截留率增加,但通量几乎不变。当把该膜材料用于浓缩含高浓度NaCl的草甘膦母液时,发现在0.5 MPa压力和pH=11.0下,复合纳滤膜对NaCl的截留率低于20%,对草甘膦的截留率可达90%。这说明该复合纳滤膜可以把草甘膦与NaCl有效分离开来,为草甘膦的回收利用提供了基础。
