Characterization of Fe-humic complexes in an Fe-enriched biosolid by-product of water treatment

The fertilizing potential of Fe-enriched biosolids has been attributed to Fe associations with humic substances contained therein. In this study, alkaline and near-neutral aqueous extractions of humic substances from an Fe-enriched biosolid were followed by gel chromatographic fractionation and characterization (CHNS elemental analysis; UV/visible and FTIR spectroscopy; FAAS analysis). The alkaline bulk humic extract had a strong fulvic character and Fe was predominantly associated with the higher molecular weight (50 000 Da) molecules, possibly including organic-coated Fe oxides from which Fe may be released more slowly. Under both near-neutral and alkaline conditions, associations with lower molecular weight humic molecules were also observed, indicative of the presence of Fe in more readily available forms. Thus the biosolid appears to have good short- and long-term fertilizing potential, particularly for alkaline, Fe-deficient soils.     

轮叶黑藻对铅的吸附特征及生物吸附机理研究

研究了轮叶黑藻对重金属铅的吸附特征,同时对吸附机理进行探讨.动力学研究结果表明,轮叶黑藻对铅有较快的吸附能力,10min后铅的去除率达到74.54%;20min后,吸附达到平衡.整个吸附过程符合伪二级动力学方程(R2=0.9910).Sips和Langmuir模型相比Freundlich而言,有着较好的拟合效果,表明轮叶黑藻对重金属铅的吸附属于单层吸附,相邻铅离子间的相互干扰可以忽略不计.红外光谱分析表明:轮叶黑藻叶片富含多种活性基团,羟基、羰基和羧基、C–O及C–N为主要作用基团.吸附铅后,轮叶黑藻叶片内K、Na、Ca、Mg含量明显下降,表明铅离子因产生离子交换而被吸附,且铅离子更易与二价的Ca和Mg产生离子交换.     

Effect of dye auxiliaries on chemical oxygen demand and colour competitive removal from textile effluents using Posidonia oceanica

The use of an abundant and widely distributed seagrass species, Posidonia oceanica, as a biosorbent for the direct dye Yellow 44 was successfully shown. The studies were performed on the single dyestuff dissolved in water and in a dyebath containing agents commonly used in the textile industry, i.e. a surfactant (Lavotan TBU), a sequestring agent (Meropan DPE), a softening agent (Eurosoft CI10) and a salt (NaCl). The colour reduction results showed that P. oceanica was found to be more efficient for removal of Yellow 44 from an aqueous solution (162 mg g^?1) than from a dyebath solution (135 mg g^?1), according to the Langmuir isotherm model. For the single dyestuff sorption, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies highlighted chemical sorption between the dye alcohol function and the sorbent acid function. The chemical oxygen demand removal percentages were found to be 54.9 and 76.6% for Yellow 44 dissolved in aqueous solution and in dyebath solution, respectively. This confirmed the both sorption of the chemical auxiliaries and the dye on P. oceanica.

固液界面NOM吸附中疏水效应的影响研究

文章以腐殖酸和纳米Fe2O3为对象,着重研究了腐殖酸分子在纳米Fe2O3表面的吸附过程中的疏水效应,借助红外光谱和热重等分析方法研究了腐殖酸吸附前后的疏水性随溶液环境变化的规律。结果表明,当离子强度为0、0.005、0.01和0.05 mol/kg,pH值从7变到12时,纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的热失重量随着pH值的升高先减小后增大。当pH值从7升高到10时,亲水性降低,疏水性增强;当pH值从10升高到12时,亲水性增强,疏水性降低。当离子强度为0.001 mol/kg,pH值从7变到12时,复合体的热失重量随着pH值的升高而减小,亲水性降低,疏水性增强。当pH值为定值,离子强度变化时,纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的热失重量随着离子强度的增加不断变化,曲线呈现出波动趋势,亲、疏水性在交替变化。红外光谱分析结果说明,对纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的亲疏水性起主要影响的官能团可能是亲水性的羟基-OH、羰基C=O和疏水性的CH2烷烃。

用差热分析(DTG-DTA)、红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电镜(SEM/EDS)等方法对谷壳的质量随温度上升而变化的情况、表面的官能团、表面形态及主要元素构成等进行了分析,并研究了谷壳对水溶液中Cu2 、pb2 的生物吸附作用.加热170℃时谷壳质量损失约6%,至170～290℃时质量损失约45%,至500℃时质量仅余约11%.在320℃、440℃分别有2个放热峰.谷壳的红外吸收光谱图主要由碳水化合物如木质素、纤维素等的吸收带组成.红外光谱分析表明,1735 cm-1和1615 cm-1处的吸收峰为不同C=O的伸缩振动峰;1515 cm-1处为苯环的骨架振动峰,而1243 cm-1处是苯羟基中C-O的伸缩振动峰.1456 cm-1处的吸收峰为CH3-和CH2-的弯曲振动峰,1374 cm-1处是甲基的弯曲振动峰.SEM/EDS分析表明,谷壳表面粗糙,且主要由碳氧硅铝元素构成.结果表明,吸附时间、溶液pH、吸附剂用量、金属离子初始浓度及Na 和Ca2 离子对吸附均有影响.谷壳对Cu2 、Pb2 的吸附在30min基本达到平衡,在pH为5左右吸附效果较好,Ca2 对吸附的影响比Na 严重.随初始浓度的增加,吸附量增大,且吸附可用Langmuir方程描述.在本实验条件下,谷壳对Cu2 、Pb2 的最大吸附量分别为3.46 mg·L-1、12.5mg·L-1.一种金属离子的存在能显著降低谷壳对另一种金属离子的吸附,且pb2 对Cu2 的影响较Cu2 对pb2 的影响更严重.单一体系和混合体系的实验结果表明,谷壳对单一体系中Cu2 、Pb2 的吸附能力分别大于对混合溶液中Cu2 、Pb2 的吸附能力.

Photocatalytic degradation of gaseous toluene over Ag-doping TiO₂ nanotube powder prepared by anodization coupled with impregnation method

In this work, Ag-doping TiO₂ nanotubes were prepared and employed as the photocatalyst for the degradation of toluene. The TiO₂ nanotube powder was produced by the rapid-breakdown potentiostatic anodization of Ti foil in chloride-containing electrolytes, and then doped with Ag through an incipient wetness impregnation method. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, surface photovoltage measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and N₂ adsorption. The nanotubular TiO₂ photocatalysts showed an outer diameter of approximately 40 nm, fine mesoporous structure and high specific surface area. The photocatalytic activity of Ag-doping TiO₂ nanotube powder was evaluated through photooxidation of gaseous toluene. The results indicated that the degradation efficiency of toluene could get 98% after 4 h reaction using the Ag-doping TiO₂ nanotubes as the photocatalyst under UV light illumination, which was higher than that of the pure TiO₂ nanotubes, Ag-doping P25 or P25. Benzaldehyde species could be observed during the photocatalytic oxidation monitored by in situ FTIR, and the formed benzaldehyde intermediate during reaction would be partially oxidized into CO₂ and H₂O.     

Virgin and recycled engine oil differentiation: a spectroscopic study

As a result of the changes that occur during their use, used engine oils tend to differ in chemical and physical composition from a virgin oil. In general recycled oils have: much higher water and sediment levels than virgin oil; relatively higher concentrations of organic compounds (oxidation products); and relatively higher levels of metals such as Fe, Cd, Cr, Pb, etc. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate, assess and to observe, by means of the physical and the chemical properties of the oils, atomic absorption (AA), inductive couple plasma (ICP) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses the extent of the differences occurring between the virgin and recycled oil. In important part of this work was also the development of analytical techniques based on the use of FTIR spectroscopy; in relation to the rapid analysis of lubricants; in particular for the differentiation of virgin and recycled oil. The results obtained were expected to be useful for differentiation purposes, providing information on whether the metal concentrations and oxidation products could be an appropriate feature for differentiating a particular oil sample from the others. This work is categorized into a two-step procedure. Firstly, an evaluation of a typical FTIR spectrum of an engine oil sample (mono- and multigrade) is presented. The broad feature centered at 1716 cm(-1) is due to the presence of carbonyl containing degradation products of oil. A band observed at 1732, 1169, 1154 and 1270 cm(-1) assigned to the polymethacrylate stretching vibrations, allows the determination of viscosity modifier and pour point depressant additives. The observed differences in the specific spectral bands (1732, 1169, 1154 and 1270 and 1716 cm(-1)) are investigated and discussed. Secondly, an analytical technique for the measurement of the levels of the wear metals is also applied.     

固定香菇(Lentinus edodes)废弃菌柄对溶液中Cd2+的吸附

为开发廉价实用的吸附材料,利用聚乙烯醇-海藻酸钠(PVA-SA)固定香菇废弃菌柄作为生物吸附剂吸附溶液中的Cd2+,吸附过滤后的溶液用原子吸收光谱仪(AAS)测定Cd2+的浓度.结果表明:对溶液中Cd2+的吸附7 h达到平衡,平衡吸附昔为0.200 8 mg/g;模拟二级方程能很好地拟合吸附过程,决定系数R2为0.994 6;Cd2+适宜的吸附pH值范围为4～7,比自由态香菇粉广;随着Cd2+初始质量浓度的增加,溶液中Cd2+的吸附量逐渐增加;与Cd2+共存于同一溶液中的Cu2+或Pb2+明显降低了Cd2+的吸附率;分别用Langmuir、Fre-undlich、Dubinin-Radushkevich(D-R)和Langmuir-Freundlich等温吸附模型对Cd2+的吸附过程进行拟合,结果表明Langmuir吸附模型能很好地拟合溶液中Cd2+的等温吸附过程,R2达0.9981.微观形态研究表明.PVA-SA香菇小球吸附Cd2+后粗糙多孔的表面变得密实,表面有Cd沉积和Cd晶体存在.红外光谱(FTIR)研究发现,在PVA-SA香菇小球吸附Cd2+的过程中香菇细胞壁上的-OH、-CO、-CO-NH及PVA发挥了作用.用10 mmol/L的HCI作为解吸剂,3次解吸后PVA-SA小球对Cd2+的吸附率仍可以达到64.17%,表明香菇废弃菌柄的PVA-SA固定技术在重金属生物吸附的实际应用中是可行的.
