为充分利用中国丰富的苹果资源,开发多品类的苹果深加工产品,以磁性壳聚糖微球为吸附剂,通过磁分离技术,吸附获得苹果汁中的天然有机酸,并对其吸附过程进行研究。利用Lagergren准一级动力学方程、准二级动力学方程、Elovich方程及内扩散方程对吸附反应动力学过程进行拟合;利用Langmuir等温吸附模型、Freundlich等温吸附模型及Temkin等温吸附模型对吸附等温数据进行拟合,并对其吸附反应热力学特性进行分析。通过比较线性拟合方程的决定系数,发现磁性壳聚糖微球吸附苹果汁中有机酸的动力学过程更加符合Lagergren准二级动力学模型,吸附温度越高,吸附速率常数和初始吸附速率越大,但平衡吸附量越低。等温吸附过程更加符合Langmuir等温吸附模型,表明该吸附过程更趋向于单分子层的化学吸附。298 K时,有机酸的饱和吸附量可达到188.679 2 mg/g,表明磁性壳聚糖微球是苹果汁中有机酸的1种高效吸附剂。热力学参数ΔG°0,ΔH°0,ΔS°0,表明磁性壳聚糖微球对苹果汁有机酸的吸附过程为熵增加的可自发进行的放热过程。动力学及热力学结果为磁性壳聚糖微球吸附苹果汁有机酸的研究提供了理论基础与技术支持。     

菲和Cu^2＋在黑垆土上的吸附及其交互影响

采用批平衡法,研究了菲和Cu2＋在黑垆土上的吸附及其交互影响。结果表明,菲和Cu2＋在黑垆土上的吸附动力学曲线较好符合一级动力学方程,菲在黑垆土上的吸附主要通过分配作用,其吸附等温曲线符合线性Henry方程,Cu2＋的存在抑制菲在黑垆土上的吸附;而Cu2＋在黑垆土上的吸附主要通过表面吸附和专性吸附作用,其吸附等温曲线符合Freundlich方程,菲的存在促进了Cu2＋的吸附;对菲和Cu2＋来说,pH均是影响黑垆土吸附的主要因素,黑垆土对Cu2＋的吸附量随着土壤溶液pH值的增加而增加,而对菲的吸附量随着pH增加而降低。     

Ca/CTS/FA复合材料对酸性大红的吸附研究

以粉煤灰（Fly ash,FA）为原料,通过负载壳聚糖和钙离子制备一种新型吸附剂（Ca/CTS/FA）用于酸性大红3R（Acid scarlet 3R,AS 3R）染料的吸附去除,考察了最佳吸附条件和吸附性能,探讨了吸附动力学、吸附热力学及复合吸附剂的再生。结果表明：水体pH、吸附剂投加量、吸附时间和振荡频率均对吸附有影响。在不同温度下,Ca/CTS/FA对AS 3R的吸附动力学均能用准二级吸附速率方程精确描述（R2=1.00）。不同温度下的等温吸附数据分别用Langmuir模型、Freundlich模型和Dubinin-Radushkevich（D-R）模型进行拟合,结果表明等温吸附行为更符合Langmuir模型,同时也较好地符合Freundlich模型和D-R模型;由D-R方程获得的平均吸附能、表观活化能及热力学研究均表明该吸附过程由化学吸附、物理吸附和氢键作用共同控制。热力学参数中吸附自由能变为负值、焓变为正值说明该吸附是吸热性质的自发过程。Ca/CTS/FA复合吸附剂能用0.01 mol·L-1 NaOH溶液再生,至少可循环使用8次以上,再生率均在99%以上。     

线性和非线性方法估计单宁酸共存下形成的无定形铝氧化物上菲的吸附等温线参数比较

采用批实验研究了菲在单宁酸干扰下形成的不同晶形铝氧化物上的吸附现象,并用不同的吸附等温线方程对吸附平衡数据进行了拟合,重点比较了线性和非线性回归方法估计吸附等温线参数的差异。结果表明:菲在各种晶形的铝氧化物上都有明显的吸附,但并不是完全随着单宁酸含量和结晶度的变化而规律性变化。吸附平衡数据以Langmuir、Redlich-Peterson和Dubinin-Radushkevich吸附等温方程,用不同的回归方法估计的等温线参数值均有显著性差异。线性回归得到的参数有不确定性,表明用线性回归来判断吸附等温线能否对吸附平衡数据进行最优拟合是不可靠的。相反,非线性回归能较好地确定菲在不同晶形铝氧化物上的最佳吸附等温线及相应参数。采用R2和χ2共同检验发现,菲在4种不同结晶度(单宁酸与铝的摩尔比(MR)=0,10-3,10-2,10-1)铝氧化物上的最佳吸附等温线方程并不尽相同,分别为Freundlich,Freundlich,Dubinin-Radushkevich和Freundlich,反映了各种晶形的铝氧化物的表面异质性。修正的Freundlich方程比较不同晶形铝氧化物对菲的相对吸附容量顺序为:MR=10-3MR=10-2MR=0MR=10-1。由此,认为菲在无定形铝氧化物上的吸附是熵驱动的结果。

名山县蒙山茶园土壤各粒级组分对K~+吸附-解吸特征的影响

以名山县蒙山茶园紫色土为对象,用物理方法将蒙山茶园紫色土分成粒径大小不同的土壤组分(≤0.002mm,0.02～0.002mm,0.2～0.02mm,2～0.2mm),分别通过动力学和热力学方法研究它们对K+的吸附-解吸行为。结果表明:紫色土不同粒级组分对K+的吸附量表现为小于0.002mm>0.02～0.002mm>原土>0.2～0.02mm>2～0.2mm,而解吸量则呈相反的规律。用Elovich方程、双常数方程、抛物线扩散方程及一级扩散方程分别对K+的吸附-解吸动力学数据进行拟合,并用Langmuir、Freundlich和Temkin热力学方程对等温吸附过程进行拟合。原土及各粒级组分K+的吸附量均随K+初始浓度的增大而增大,但各粒级组分吸附量大小关系各不相同,K+均向最小粒径富集。运用动力学方法,原土和各粒径组分对K+的吸附特性均用Elovich吸附方程拟合最佳,原土和各粒级组分对K+的解吸特性均用Elovich解吸方程拟合效果最佳。运用热力学方法,原土和土壤各粒级组分以及分别去除有机质和游离氧化铁后对K+的吸附特性均用Freundlich吸附方程拟合效果最佳,原土和土壤各粒级组分以及分别去除有机质和游离氧化铁后对K+的解吸特性均用Freundlich吸附方程拟合效果最佳。     

镁铝双氢氧化物和镁铁铝改性蒙脱土去除水体中磷的吸附效果研究

通过间歇式批实验和动力学实验研究了不同pH条件下磷酸盐在镁铝双氢氧化物（Mg-Al-LDH）、钠基膨润土（Na-Mt）及镁铁铝改性膨润土（Mg-Al-Mt、Fe-Mt和Fe-Al-Mt）的吸附特征。结果表明,在pH4.5～9.0范围内,随着pH的升高,Na-Mt,Fe-Mt和Fe-Al-Mt3种矿物对磷的吸附率相应减少,镁铝双氢氧化物对磷的吸附率有所增加;Mg-Al-LDH、Fe-Mt和Fe-Al-Mt的对磷吸附率约为95%,比Mg-Al-Mt高40%,比Na-Mt高80%。用Langmuir方程描述磷的等温吸附过程,最大吸附容量（Qm）大小顺序为Fe-Al-Mt〉Fe-Mt〉Mg-Al-LDH〉Mg-Al-Mt〉Na-Mt,b值大小依次为Mg-Al-LDH〉Fe-Mt〉Fe-Al-Mt〉Mg-Al-Mt〉Na-Mt,最大缓冲容量（Qmb）以Mg-Al-LDH的为最大,Na-Mt的为最小;Freundlich等温吸附方程参数KF代表相对吸附容量,以Mg-Al-LDH的KF值最高,依次是Fe-Mt、Fe-Al-Mt和Mg-Al-Mt,Na-Mt的KF值最小,这与Qmb的结果一致;决定系数（R2）表明,Langmuir等温吸附方程能更好地拟合铁改性蒙脱土和铁铝改性蒙脱土,而Freundlich方程对钠蒙脱土,双氢氧化物和镁铝改性蒙脱土的拟合效果要好。磷酸盐吸附过程分为快反应和慢反应,用动力学实验数据进行拟合,准二级动力学方程能够更好的拟合改性蒙脱土和Mg-Al-LDH对磷的动力学吸附数据,其决定系数为0.999;Elovich方程拟合改性蒙脱土磷酸盐的吸附数据也有很好的相关性（R2为0.89～0.94）。Na-Mt矿物磷酸盐的吸附用抛物线扩散方程描述最为合适,原因可能是磷酸盐镶嵌在矿物层间是一个扩散过程,不涉及化学吸附过程。     

紫色土NH4+、NO3-的吸附-解吸特性研究

试验在25±1℃恒温条件下研究了紫色土NH4 、NO3-的吸附-解吸特征。结果表明,紫色土对NH4 、NO3-的等温吸附曲线与Freundlich模型相关性强,均达到极显著水平。在低浓度时,NH4 、NO3-的等温吸附线斜率较大;在高浓度时,等温吸附线趋于平缓;土壤吸附态NH4 、NO3-的解吸曲线与Freundlich方程拟合度高,达到极显著水平,而与Langmiur方程拟合较差;通过K吸附和K解吸值的大小比较,找出了土壤NO3-比NH4 更易于流失的根本原因。     

土壤及生物炭对草甘膦的吸附作用

为了确定生物炭修复草甘膦污染土壤的可行性,通过添加不同比例和种类的生物炭到土壤中,研究土壤对草甘膦的吸附效果。采用吸附动力学拟合、等温吸附分析、红外光谱测定分析方法。结果表明:草甘膦能强烈地吸附在红壤及稻壳炭、竹炭、竹柳炭中,相比于红壤,3种生物炭达到吸附平衡时间短。吸附动力学符合准二级动力学方程,等温吸附符合Freundlich吸附等温方程。Freundlich吸附等温方程中1/n数值均<1,表明红壤和3种生物炭对草甘膦的吸附方式是非线性吸附,且非线性程度大小为竹柳炭>竹炭>红壤>稻壳炭。生物炭添加到红壤中,可以提高红壤吸附草甘膦的量,生物炭添加比例越高,土壤吸附草甘膦的量也越高。土壤中添加生物炭比例相同时,竹炭使土壤吸附草甘膦的量最高,竹柳炭次之、稻壳炭最低。3种生物炭吸附草甘膦前后的红外光谱分析阐明了酚、胺、芳香烃、羧酸、羧酸盐、脂肪醚等在吸附过程中起重要作用。     

不同条件下菲和萘在塿土上的吸附特征研究

以平衡吸附法研究了菲和萘在塿土上的吸附行为,考察了初始浓度、温度、pH、离子强度和CaCO3对塿土吸附菲和萘的影响,Henry方程、Freundlich方程和deBoer-Zwikker极化方程被用来拟和吸附等温线。结果表明,菲和萘在塿土上的吸附等温线为非线性,Freundlich方程最符合其吸附行为。菲和萘在塿土上的吸附量随温度升高而降低,其吸附是一个放热过程;吸附自由能小于零,表明吸附过程是自发的;熵变值也小于零,说明焓变是吸附过程的驱动力。随着pH增加,塿土对菲和萘的吸附量下降;而随着离子强度增加,塿土对菲和萘的吸附量增加。CaCO对菲和萘的吸附等温线也为非线性,其对塿土吸附菲和萘具有较大的贡献。

Effects of Municipal Sewage Sludge Application on Soil and Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea) Contamination by Metals in a Maritime Pine Forest

Granular bentonite has been assessed regarding its capacity to remove Hg(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Sorption capacities, kinetics and the dependence of the sorption process on pH were determined. Fractional power, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion equations were used to model the kinetics of metal adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model showed the best fit to experimental data. Different two-parameter sorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin?CRadushkevich) were used to fit the equilibrium data. Freundlich's isotherm model gave the best fit to experimental data. The selectivity of granular bentonite towards these metals is Pb(II)?>?Cd(II)?>?Hg(II). The adsorption capacities of granular bentonite towards the metals expressed in milligramme metal per gramme granular bentonite are 19.45, 13.05 and 1.7 for Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II), respectively (for an initial concentration of 100 mg metal/L).     

Phosphorus sorption kinetics in different types of alkaline soils

This study investigated phosphorus sorption kinetics of three different soils from three sites within the Sahel region of Tunisia; iso-humic soils from Chott-Mariem site, calcic-magnesic soils from Enfidha site and saline-sodic soils from Kondar site. Soils from all sites were sampled (0–25 cm) and analysed for their physico-chemical proprieties. In previous works, we determined the adsorption efficiency of these different soils. In this study, we focused on the influence of contact time on phosphorus adsorption by the different soils. The analytic data were approached from the following kinetics models: pseudo-first-order, pseudo- second-order and Elovich model. The second order model was shown to be the best fit for describing phosphorus adsorption by each soil sample, as seen from the correlation coefficient R² which ranged from 0.68 to 0.96 for the pseudo-first-order model, 0.91 to 0.99 for pseudo-second-order model and 0.84 to 0.94 for Elovich model.     

Sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to mineral surfaces

Minerals contribute crucially to the retention of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in subsurface environments. To investigate the sorption behaviour to mineral surfaces batch sorption experiments were conducted using three PAHs (phenanthrene, pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene) and three mineral sorbents that were representative of subsurface materials (quartz, goethite‐coated quartz, quartz‐montmorillonite mixture). Sorption kinetics showed an instantaneous, considerable PAH sorption to all minerals, except for phenanthrene sorption to quartz at small aqueous‐phase concentrations. Apparent sorption equilibrium was achieved after 4 hours of contact time. The sorption characteristics were fitted to six isotherm models by applying Monte Carlo simulation and nonlinear regression. Best‐fit models were obtained by a model discrimination approach. Phenanthrene and pyrene sorption were best described by the Freundlich isotherm model, with the exception of phenanthrene sorption to quartz (linear isotherm). Good fit results for quartz were also obtained for the combined linear‐Freundlich isotherm. Benzo(a)pyrene sorption to all minerals followed linear high‐affinity isotherms. In the case of phenanthrene and pyrene, the Monte Carlo simulations resulted in mean values with small standard deviations for the isotherm parameters, indicating a negligible influence of the experimental uncertainties on the accuracy of the fitted parameters. For phenanthrene, (i) linear isotherms to quartz and goethite‐coated quartz and (ii) a nonlinear concave‐shaped isotherm to quartz–montmorillonite, assuming a pore‐filling process to micropores formed by clay aggregates, were confirmed. For pyrene, nonlinear convex‐shaped isotherms to the mineral surfaces were assessed. A specific sorption affinity of pyrene to the goethite surface indicated a non‐covalent cation‐π interaction. Small sorption affinities to quartz–montmorillonite support an unfavourable partitioning into the adjacent water.     

Study on Sorption Characteristics of Uranium onto Biochar Derived from Eucalyptus Wood

In this study, the sorption characteristics of U(VI) onto eucalyptus biochar as a function of various operating parameters such as solution pH, initial metal ion concentration, contact time and ionic strength of the medium are reported. Biochar was characterised using various techniques such as CHNS element analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM analysis showed the presence of micro- and macropores in the sorbent, and FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of functional groups like carboxylic (?COOH), hydroxyls(?OH), carbonyls(–C=O), etc. Maximum sorption of about 95% is found to occur in the pH range of 5 to 6. U(VI) sorption onto biochar reached equilibrium within 20 min at pH 5.5. The kinetic data were analysed using both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, and the latter is found to be more appropriate to explain the observed kinetics. The equilibrium data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity obtained from the Langmuir model was 27.2 mg/g at 293 K. From EDS, FTIR and XPS measurements, it is found that the sorption process involves chemical interaction between the U(VI) and the surface functional groups on the adsorbent. Efficient removal of low level of uranium from ammonium diuranate supernatant demonstrates its utility as sorbent for waste water treatment.     

Adsorption and desorption properties of macroporous resins for anthocyanins from the calyx extract of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)

Adsorption of roselle anthocynins, a natural pigment, onto various macroporous resins was optimized to develop a simple and efficient process for industrial separation and purification of roselle anthocyanins. Nine different macroporous resins (AB-8, X-5, HPD-100, SP-207, XAD-4, LS-305A, DM-21, LS-610B, and LS-305) were evaluated for the adsorption properties of the anthocyanins extracted from the calyx extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. The influences of phase contact time, solution pH, initial anthocyanin concentration, and ethanol concentration with different citric acid amounts were studied by the static adsorption/desorption method. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm, and according to this model, LS-610B and LS-305 exhibited the highest monolayer sorption capacities of 31.95 and 38.16 mg/g, respectively. The kinetic data were modeled using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion equations. The experimental data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Continuous column adsorption-regeneration cycles indicated negligible capacity loss of LS-305 during operation. The overall yield of pigment product was 49.6 mg/g dried calyces. The content of roselle anthocynins in the pigment product was 4.85%.     

Removal of Arsenic from Aqueous Solutions by Sorption onto Sewage Sludge-Based Sorbent

This study aimed at evaluating and comparing the removal of arsenic from solutions by a low-cost waste-based sorbent, produced by pyrolysing sewage sludge under appropriate conditions, and by a commercially activated carbon. Batch sorption experiments were performed under isothermal conditions (20°C), in order to evaluate the effect of pH on the arsenic sorption kinetics and on the equilibrium sorption capacity of the materials under study. Kinetic data revealed that the arsenic sorption was faster onto the activated carbon than onto the pyrolysed sludge. The sorption process was well described by both the pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetics equations for both materials. Changes in the initial solution pH have distinct effects on the removal of arsenic onto pyrolysed sludge and activated carbon. While for pyrolysed sludge, pH affects essentially the equilibrium time, for activated carbon it affects the sorption capacity. Equilibrium results were well described by both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, although fittings corresponding to the Langmuir isotherm were slightly better. The Langmuir maximum sorption capacity determined for the pyrolysed sludge was 71???g?g^?1, while for activated carbon was 229???g?g^?1. Despite the relative lower capacity of the pyrolysed sludge, the considerable lower cost and the valorisation of the sludge may justify further research on its use for water decontamination.     

Changes in Mercury Deposition in a Mining and Smelting Region as Recorded in Tree Rings

The adsorption of lead onto date palm fibers (palm fibers) and leaf base of palm (petiole) has been examined in aqueous solution by considering the influence of various parameters such as contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, particle sizes, ionic strength, and temperature. The adsorption of Pb(II) increased with an increase of contact time. The optimal range of pH for Pb(II) adsorption is 3.0?C4.5. The linear Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms, and both models fitted well. The monolayer adsorption capacity of Pb(II) on palm fibers and petiole was found as 18.622 and 20.040 mg/g, respectively, at pH 4.5 and 25°C. Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm model was also applied to equilibrium data. The mean free energy of adsorption (2.397 and 4.082 kJ/mol) onto palm fibers and petiole, respectively, may be carried out via physisorption mechanism. Pseudo-first-order rate equation and pseudo-second-order rate equation were applied to study the adsorption kinetics. In comparison to first-order kinetic model, pseudo-second-order model described well the adsorption kinetics of Pb(II) onto palm fibers and petiole from aqueous solution. From the results of the thermodynamic analysis, Gibbs free energy ??G, enthalpy change ??H, and entropy ??S were determined. The positive value of ??H suggests that interaction of Pb(II) adsorbed by palm fibers is endothermic. In contrast, the negative value of ??H indicates that interaction of Pb(II) ions by petiole is exothermic. The negative value of ??G indicates that the adsorption of Pb(II) ions on both palm fibers and petiole is a spontaneous process.     

Kinetic, Isotherm and Thermodynamic Analysis on Adsorption of Cr(VI) Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic-Poly(divinylbenzene-vinylimidazole) Microbeads

The magnetic-poly(divinylbenzene-1-vinylimidazole) [m-poly(DVB-VIM)] microbeads (average diameter 53-212?μm) were synthesized and characterized; their use as adsorbent in removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The m-poly(DVB-VIM) microbeads were prepared by copolymerizing of divinylbenzene (DVB) with 1-vinylimidazole (VIM). The m-poly(DVB-VIM) microbeads were characterized by N(2) adsorption/desorption isotherms, ESR, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and swelling studies. At fixed solid/solution ratio the various factors affecting adsorption of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions such as pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature were analyzed. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkvich isotherms were used as the model adsorption equilibrium data. Langmuir isotherm model was the most adequate. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Ritch-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models were used to describe the adsorption kinetics. The apparent activation energy was found to be 5.024?kJ?mol(-1), which is characteristic of a chemically controlled reaction. The experimental data fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic. The study of temperature effect was quantified by calculating various thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy changes. The thermodynamic parameters obtained indicated the endothermic nature of adsorption of Cr(VI) ions. Morever, after the use in adsorption, the m-poly(DVB-VIM) microbeads with paramagnetic property were separeted via the applied magnetic force. The magnetic beads could be desorbed up to about 97% by treating with 1.0?M NaOH. These features make the m-poly(DVB-VIM) microbeads a potential candidate for support of Cr(VI) ions removal under magnetic field.
