Alkaline hydrothermal conversion of fly ash precipitates into zeolites 3: the removal of mercury and lead ions from wastewater

In this paper, the utilisation of zeolites synthesised from fly ash (FA) and related co-disposal filtrates as low-cost adsorbent material were investigated. When raw FA and co-disposal filtrates were subjected to alkaline hydrothermal zeolite synthesis, the zeolites faujasite, sodalite and zeolite A were formed. The synthesised zeolites were explored to establish its ability to remove lead and mercury ions from aqueous solution in batch experiments, to which various dosages of the synthesised zeolites were added. The test results indicated that when increasing synthesised zeolite dosages of 5-20 g/L were added to the acid mine drainage (AMD) wastewater, the concentrations of lead and mercury in the wastewater were reduced accordingly. The lead concentrations were reduced from 3.23 to 0.38 and 0.17 microg/kg, respectively, at an average pH of 4.5, after the addition of raw FA zeolite and co-disposal filtrate zeolite to the AMD wastewater. On the other hand, the mercury concentration was reduced from 0.47 to 0.17 microg/kg at pH=4.5 when increasing amounts of co-disposal filtrate zeolite were added to the wastewater. The experimental results had shown that the zeolites synthesised from the co-disposal filtrates were effective in reducing the lead and mercury concentrations in the AMD wastewater by 95% and 30%, respectively.     

Catalytic reductive dechlorination of p–chlorophenol in water using Ni/Fe nanoscale particles

Nanoscale bimetallic Ni/Fe particles were synthesized from the reaction of sodium borohydride （NaBH4） with reduction of Ni^2＋ and Fe^2＋ in aqueous solution. The obtained Ni/Fe particles were characterized by TEM （transmission electron microscope）, XRD （X-ray diffractometer）, and N2-BET. The dechlorination activity of the Ni/Fe was investigated using p-chlorophenol （p-CP） as a probe agent. Results demonstrated that the nanoscale Ni/Fe could effectively dechlorinate p-CP at relatively low metal to solution ratio of 0.4 g/L （Ni 5 wt%）. The target with initial concentration ofp-CP 0.625 mmol/L was dechlorinted completely in 60 rain under ambient temperature and pressure. Factors affecting dechlorination efficiency, including reaction temperature, pH, Ni loading percentage over Fe, and metal to solution ratio, were investigated. The possible mechanism of dechlorination ofp-CP was proposed and discussed. The pseudo-first- order reaction took place on the surface of the Ni/Fe bimetallic particles, and the activation energy of the dechlorination reaction was determined to be 21.2 kJ/mol at the temperature rang of 287-313 K.     

Reaction mode between Si and Fe and evaluation of optimal species in poly-silicic-ferric coagulant

A kind of Fe-polysilicate polymer, poly-silicic-ferric （PSF） coagulant was prepared by co-polymerization （hydroxylation of mixture of Fe^3＋ and fresh polysilicic acid （PS））, in which PSF0.5, PSF1 or PSF3 denotes Si/Fe molar ratio of 0.5, 1 or 3, respectively. The effects of Si/Fe ratio and reaction time （co-polymerization time or aging time） on the reaction mode between Si and Fe were studies, and the optimal species of PSF was evaluated by pH change during the preparation of PSF and coagulation tests. The results showed that the characteristics of PSF are largely affected by both reaction time and Si/Fe ratio. PSF is found to be a essential complex of Si, Fe, and many other ions. The reaction mode between Si and Fe differs with various Si/Fe ratios. The pH of PSF0.5, PSF1 or PSF3 tended to be stable when reaction time is 10, 25 or 55 rain, respectively, which is almost consistent with the time reaching the relative stable morphology that is just the optimal species of higher coagulation efficiency. The optimal reaction time reaching optimal species can be evaluated by measuring the pH change during the polymerization process.     

Degradation mechanism of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in supercritical water oxidation

The 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene(TNT)is a potential carcinogens and TNT contaminated wastewater,which could not be effectively disposed with conventional treatments.The supercritical water oxidation(SCWO)to treat TNT contaminated wastewater was studied in this article.The TNT concentration in wastewater was measured by high-performance liquid chromatograph(HPLC)and the degraded intermediates were analyzed using GC-MS.The results showed that SCWO could degrade TNT efficiently in the presence of oxygen.The reaction temperature,pressure,residence time and oxygen excess were the main contributing factors in the process.The decomposition of TNT was accelerated as the temperature or residence time increased.At 550℃,24 MPa,120 s and oxygen excess 300%,TNT removal rate could exceed 99.9%.Partial oxidation occured in SCWO without oxygen.It was concluded that supercritical water was a good solvent and had excellent oxidation capability in the existence of oxygen.The main intermediates of TNT during SCWO included toluene,1,3,5-trinitrobenzene,nitrophenol,naphthalene,fluorenone,dibutyl phthalate,alkanes and several dimers based on the intermediate analysis.Some side reactions,such as coupled reaction,hydrolysis reaction and isomerization reaction may take place simultaneously when TNT was oxidized by SCWO.

甲基紫试验中改性双基推进剂的热分解机制研究

目的 研究甲基紫试验中含Al改性双基推进剂以及含RDX改性双基推进剂2种典型改性双基推进剂的热分解机理。方法 将这2种典型改性双基推进剂与普通双基推进剂进行对比试验,采用TG-DSC-FTIR-MS联用技术,通过对分解温度、放热量、分解产物等特征参数进行分析,明确3种推进剂的非等温热分解行为。采用微热量热法,在与甲基紫试验相同温度下对3种推进剂进行等温热分解行为研究。结果 含Al改性双基推进剂在程序升温条件下的热质量损失和热分解行为与普通双基推进剂的基本一致。含RDX改性双基推进剂中的NG较其他2种推进剂更易挥发,相应分解反应初期NG分解释放的NO2较少,且在整个热分解反应历程中分2个阶段,含硝酸酯基团的NC/NG体系先分解,再引起硝铵炸药RDX的热分解。在等温条件下,3种推进剂在40 min对应的反应深度均不超过0.4%,5 h对应的反应深度均不超过3%。但在分解反应初期,含Al改性双基推进剂分解反应的速率更快。结论 对比不同推进剂甲基紫安定性试验结果,并不是甲基紫试纸完全变色时间越长的热安定越好,说明甲基紫安定性试验方法存在一定的局限性。采用分解反应深度作为量气和量热方法转换的纽带,有望采用微热量热作为甲基紫试验的替代技术实现安定性的定量评价。

福州清洁地区夏季和秋季VOCs浓度特征及化学反应活性

挥发性有机物(VOCs)的臭氧生成潜势引起广泛关注.2014年夏季和秋季对福州清洁地区鼓山挥发性有机物浓度特征及化学反应活性进行监测研究.鼓山夏季总挥发性有机物平均浓度为(262.57±256.71)μg·m-3,低于秋季(330.74±254.38)μg·m-3.两季平均VOCs浓度组成为烷烃(115.37±20.99)μg·m-3,含氧化硫烃(66.54±2.10)μg·m-3,卤代烃(63.17±13.96)μg·m-3,烯烃(34.20±5.50)μg·m-3,芳香烃(17.38±5.65)μg·m-3.VOCs浓度日变化趋势表现出明显的季节特征.通过比较VOCs各物种的化学反应活性,发现鼓山站点两季中烯烃类浓度远低于烷烃,但其具有最大臭氧生成潜势,约为烷烃的3倍,其次是烷烃和芳香烃.此外,异戊二烯对臭氧生成的贡献亦大.对优势物种进行分析,并选取间/对-二甲苯和乙苯环境浓度的比值作为评价气团老化程度的指标,结果表明:鼓山VOCs主要来源于交通源,夏季主要来自于大气的远程输送,而秋季受局地交通排放源影响较大.
