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。     

Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solution by Functionalized Mesoporous Materials

In the present study, the applications of mesoporous materials based on silica, namely post-synthesized, one-pot synthesized, and pure MCM-41, were investigated for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution. The mesostructures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer?CEmmett?CTeller, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The absorptions of phosphate by the mesoporous adsorbents were examined, with different adsorption models used to describe the equilibrium and kinetic data. The maximum adsorption capacities of the mesostructure adsorbents were found to be 45.162, 40.806, and 31.123 mg g^?C1 for the post-synthesized, one-pot synthesized, and pure MCM-41, respectively. The kinetic data showed that the adsorptions of phosphate onto the post-synthesized and pure MCM-41 followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, whereas the one-pot synthesized adsorbent was described by the pseudo-second-order model.     

Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto Perlite

Adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solutionsonto unexpanded and expanded perlite samples activatedby H₂SO₄ and NaCl solutions has beeninvestigated, to assess the possibility of usingperlite for removing cationic dyes from aqueoussolutions. The effects of pH and temperature of dyesolution on the adsorption capacities have beenevaluated. The experimental data were correlatedreasonably well by the Langmuir adsorption isothermand the isotherm parameters (Q _m and K) have beencalculated. The removal efficiency (P) anddimensionless separation factor (R) have shown thatperlite can be used for removal of methylene blue fromaqueous solutions, but unexpanded perlite is more effective.     

Highly Efficient Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution by Using Graphene Oxide

Chemical reagents used by the textile industry are very diverse in their composition, ranging from inorganic compounds to polymeric compounds. Strong color is the most notable characteristic of textile effluents, and a large number of processes have been employed for color removal. In recent years, attention has been directed toward various natural solid materials that are able to remove pollutants from contaminated water at low cost, such as sugarcane bagasse. Cell immobilization has emerged as an alternative that offers many advantages in the biodegradation process, including the reuse of immobilized cells and high mechanical strength, which enables metabolic processes to occur under adverse conditions of pH, sterility, and agitation. Support treatment also increases the number of charges on the surface, thereby facilitating cell immobilization processes through adsorption and ionic bonds. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a polycationic compound known to have a positive effect on enzyme activity and stability. The aim of the present study was to investigate a low-cost alternative for the biodegradation and bioremediation of textile dyes, analyzing Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilization in activated bagasse for the promotion of Acid Black 48 dye biodegradation in an aqueous solution. A 1 % concentration of a S. cerevisiae suspension was evaluated to determine cell immobilization rates. Once immobilization was established, biodegradation assays with free and immobilized yeast in PEI-treated sugarcane bagasse were evaluated for 240 h using UV–vis spectrophotometry. The analysis revealed significant relative absorbance values, indicating the occurrence of biodegradation in both treatments. Therefore, S. cerevisiae immobilized in sugarcane bagasse is very attractive for use in biodegradation processes for the treatment of textile effluents.     

The Adsorption of Fluoride Ion from Aqueous Solution by Activated Alumina

The adsorption of fluoride ion in aqueous solution by using alumina was studied in this research. The experimental resultsindicated that the removal efficiency was influenced significantly by solution pH and the optimum operating pH wasfound to be in the range of 5 to 7. For neutral and acidic solutions, the adsorption capacities of fluoride by alumina wasinterfered by the presence of sulfate. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms can well describe the equilibrium behaviorsof the adsorption processes. The experimentally determined lowvalues of activation energy indicate nonspecific adsorption isthe predominant mechanism. The surface reaction-limiting batchkinetic model can adequately describe the removal behaviors offluoride ion by alumina adsorption in the batch system.     

Removal of Tartrazine from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption on Activated Red Mud

In this study, activated red mud was used to develop an effective adsorbent in order to remove a toxic azo dye (tartrazine E102) from aqueous solutions. To increase the adsorption capacity, the red mud was activated by acid-heat treatment using 20 wt.% HCl (RM-HCl). To establish the optimum operating parameters, the influence of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial dye concentration, and stirring rate was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium was studied using Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin isotherm models, and the characteristic parameters for each adsorption isotherm were determined. The kinetics of the adsorption process was analyzed by means of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The maximum removal efficiency obtained under optimum conditions was 84.72%. These results were in accordance with the isotherm and kinetic data. The results suggested that tartrazine adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and also that fits Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 136.98 mg/g.

Reduced Graphene Oxide/Attapulgite-Supported Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron Removal of Acid Red 18 from Aqueous Solution

In this paper, reduced graphenoxide/attapulgite (rGO/APT)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) composites (rGO/APT-nZVI) were synthesized to remove acid red 18 (AR18) and other organic dyes from aqueous solutions. The structure of synthetic rGO/APT-nZVI composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the removal properties of rGO/APT-nZVI on AR18 were investigated. The factors of various experimental parameters (ratio, pH, initial concentration, temperature, and time) impacting on removal of AR18 were studied as well. Comparison experiment of different materials showed that 93.5% of AR18 was removed using rGO/APT-nZVI, while only 7.9% and 64.8% of AR18 were removed using rGO/APT-nZVI after reacting for 30 min with an initial AR18 concentration of 100 mg L^?1, respectively. Moreover, kinetic and thermodynamic analyses were used to study the reduction process, and possible mechanism of AR18 removal was discussed. The results show that the rGO/APT-nZVI composites can effectively degrade AR18 over a wide range of pH and keep degradation activity in a long storage. In addition, the superior behaviors for other organic dyes removal highlight the great potential as an efficient adsorbent for water pollution.     

Cell-Associated Adsorption of Thorium or Uranium from Aqueous System Using Various Microorganisms

The cell-associated adsorption of thorium or uranium from the solution containing each metal only at pH 3.50 using various microorganisms was examined. Among the species tested, high thorium adsorption abilities were exhibited by strains of the gram-positive bacteria Arthrobacter nicotianae IAM12342, Bacillus megaterium IAM1166, B. Subtilis IAM1026, Micrococcus luteus IAM1056, Rhodococcus erythropolis IAM1399, and Streptomyces levoris HUT6156. And high uranium adsorption abilities were found in some gram-positive bacterial strains S. albus HUT6047, S. levoris HUT6156, and A. nicotianae IAM12342. Among these highly efficient thorium and uranium adsorbing microorganisms, S. levoris, which could adsorb the largest amount of uranium from the aqueous solution at pH 3.50, could adsorb about 383 mol thorium and 390 mol uranium per gram dry weight of microbial cells from the solution containing thorium or uranium at pH 3.50. The amount and time course of thorium adsorbed were almost unaffected by co-existing uranium; however, the adsorption of thorium was faster when carried out after the adsorption of uranium. Thorium adsorption also became faster when uranium was added after thorium adsorption. The effect of pH on thorium adsorption was also discussed.     

Selective Adsorption of Silver Ions from Highly Acidic Aqueous Solutions by Polymers Containing Multiple Sulfur Groups

A polymer (PDMTD) containing multiple sulfur groups is prepared and used for selective adsorption of silver ion from aqueous solution. The batch adsorption experiments are conducted to research the effects of the different parameters on adsorption of silver ion, including pH, adsorption time, and initial Ag(I) concentration. The maximum uptake of Ag(I) is 127.89 mg/g at pH?=?1. The adsorption equilibrium data are fitted with different isotherm and kinetics models. The results show that the adsorption process of Ag(I) follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm mode. Chelation interaction between Ag(I) and sulfur and nitrogen atom is the main adsorption mechanism. PDMTD shows the good selectivity from the coexisting ions and can be reused at least five times. The polymers containing multiple sulfur groups have wide application prospect to selectively capture silver ions from highly acidic aqueous solutions.     

Synthesis and Characterisation of Novel-Activated Carbon from Waste Biomass Pine Cone and Its Application in the Removal of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption

The present study deals with the synthesis and subsequent application of Fe₃O₄@n-SiO₂ nanoparticles for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Rice husk, an agrowaste material, was used as a precursor for the synthesis of nanoparticles of silica. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD and SEM to investigate their specific characteristics. Fe₃O₄@n-SiO₂ nanoparticles were used as adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from their aqueous solutions. The effects of various important parameters, such as initial Cr(VI) concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature, and pH, on the removal of Cr(VI) were analyzed and studied. A pH of 2.0 was found to be optimum for the higher removal of Cr(VI) ions. It was observed that removal (%) decreased by increasing initial Cr(VI) concentration from 1.36?×?10^-2 to 2.4?×?10^-2 M. The process of removal was found to be endothermic, and the removal increased with the rise in temperature from 25 to 45 °C. The kinetic data was better fitted in pseudo-second-order model in comparison to pseudo-first-order model. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption capacities were determined and found to be 3.78 and 1.89 mg/g, respectively, at optimum conditions. The values of ΔG ⁰ were found to be negative at all temperatures, which confirm the feasibility of the process, while a positive value of ΔH ⁰ indicates the endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The present study revealed that Fe₃O₄@n-SiO₂ nanoparticles can be used as an alternate for the costly adsorbents, and the outcome of this study may be helpful in designing treatment plants for treatment of Cr(VI)-rich effluents.     

Residual Organic Compound Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Commercial Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Modified by a Mixture of Seven Metal Salts

The modified activated carbon (MAC) derived from commercial coconut shell activated carbon (AC) with mixture of seven metal salts was used as an adsorbent to remove target residual organic compound (sucrose) from aqueous solutions in batch modes. The results indicated that the highest adsorption capacity of sucrose onto MAC reached when the AC was modified at the ratio of impregnation of AC with mixture of seven metal salts, including nitrate silver (AgNO₃), manganese nitrate (Mn (NO₃)₂), potassium bichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇), nitrate cobalt (Co (NO₃)₂·6H₂O), nitrate copper (Cu (NO₃)₂·3H₂O), nitrate nickel (Ni (NO₃)₂·6H₂O) and nitrate iron (Fe (NO₃)₂·9H₂O) of 3% (w/w). The most appropriate conditions for sucrose adsorption onto MAC in batch experiments obtained at pH 7, contact time of 120 min, 800 mg MAC/50 mL of sucrose solution with initial concentration of 1500 mg/L. At this condition, the highest adsorption capacity of sucrose onto MAC reached 28.28 mg/g. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips adsorption isothermal equilibrium models can adequately describe the adsorption properties of sucrose on MAC. The adsorption kinetic of sucrose onto MAC obeyed pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models with the chemical sorption process. The saturated MAC was recovered by heat from an oven. The highest recovery efficiency of saturated MAC obtained at 180 °C in 120 min. The highest adsorption capacity of sucrose onto recovered MAC was 24.31 mg/g, appropriately adsorption capacity of initial MAC.     

Adsorption of Copper(II) Ion from Aqueous Solution Using Biochar Derived from Rambutan (Nepheliumlappaceum) Peel: Feedforward Neural Network Modelling Study

Biochars, derived from rambutan (Nepheliumlappaceum) peel through slow pyrolysis, were characterised and investigated as potential adsorbent for the removal of copper ion, Cu(II) from aqueous solution. Characteristics of five biochars of rambutan peel with different pyrolytic temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 °C (B300, B400, B500, B600, B700) were studied, and adsorption abilities of respective biochars were evaluated. Adsorption experiments were carried out by varying adsorbent dosage (0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 g/L) and initial copper ion, Cu(II) concentrations (50 and 100 mg/L) to determine the optimum pyrolytic temperature of biochar with high adsorption affinity. The adsorption kinetics were best described by the pseudo-second order model for all the tested biochars, while the adsorption equilibrium best fitted by Langmuir isotherm. The overall results showed that biochar derived at 600 °C can be used as an effective adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, feedforward artificial neural network (FFBP) modelling was performed to compare the simulated results with experimental output data of Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) analysis which were trained using Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) backpropagation algorithm. The FFBP structure for pyrolysis process comprised of TGA temperature as input and biomass final weight as output. The adsorption modelling was simulated using adsorption time, temperature, biochar dosage and initial Cu(II) concentration as input data, while final Cu(II) concentration was used as output data to the network. Finally, modelling structure of 1-9-1 and 4-8-1 gave best performance with regression, R ² value of 0.9999 and 0.9547 for TGA and AAS analysis, respectively.

Removal of Bisphenol A from Aqueous Solution by Activated Carbon Derived from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch

Land use specific deposition velocities of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols—particularly of reactive nitrogen compounds—are a fundamental input variable for a variety of deposition models. Although the concept is known to have shortcomings—especially with regard to bi-directional exchange—the often limited availability of concentration data and meteorological input variables make it a valuable simplification for regional modeling of deposition fluxes. In order to meet the demand for an up-to-date overview of recent publications on measurements and modeling studies, we compiled a database of ammonia (NH₃) deposition velocities published from 2004 to 2013. Observations from a total of 42 individual studies were averaged using an objective weighing scheme and classified into seven land use categories. Weighted average and median deposition velocities are 2.2 and 2.1 cm s^?1 for coniferous forests, 1.5 and 1.2 cm s^?1 for mixed forests, 1.1 and 0.9 cm s^?1 for deciduous forests, 0.9 and 0.7 cm s^?1 for semi-natural sites, 0.7 and 0.8 cm s^?1 for urban sites, 0.7 and 0.6 cm s^?1 for water surfaces, and 1.0 and 0.4 cm s^?1 for agricultural sites, respectively. Thus, values presented in this compilation were considerably lower than those found in former studies (e.g., VDI 2006). Reasons for the mismatch were likely due to different land use classification, different averaging methods, choices of measurement locations, and improvements in measurement and in modeling techniques. Both data and code used for processing are made available as supplementary material to this article.

Adsorptive Removal of Chromium(VI) from Aqueous Solution by an Agricultural Waste-Based Activated Carbon

Activated carbon was prepared from an agricultural waste, coconut coir, and its characteristics were compared with that of a commercial bituminous coal-based activated carbon. The activated carbon possessed higher surface area, micropore area, micropore volume and average pore diameter, and well-developed meso- and micropores. Batch test on adsorption of chromium(VI) by the coconut coir activated carbon showed that the extent of chromium(VI) adsorption was dependent on chromium(VI) concentration, contact time, pH and activated carbon dose. Maximum adsorption occurred at pH 1.0–2.0 and equilibrium adsorption was attained in 2.5 h. Chromium(VI) adsorption followed pseudo second-order kinetics. Equilibrium chromium(VI) adsorption data for the coconut coir activated carbon and the commercial activated carbon were described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and indicated higher chromium(VI) adsorption capacity of the coconut coir activated carbon. Chromium(VI) adsorption capacity of the coconut coir activated carbon was compared with that of activated carbon prepared from different waste material and bituminous coal. The coconut coir activated carbon showed high limiting capacity for adsorption of chromium(VI). Coconut coir activated carbon is a suitable substitute for commercial activated carbon in the adsorptive removal of chromium(VI) from water.
