Evolvement behavior of microstructure and H2O adsorption of lignite pyrolysis☆

The effect of pyrolysis on the microstructure and moisture adsorption of lignite was investigated with low field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Changes in oxygen-containing groups were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), and H2 O adsorption mechanism on the surface of lignite pyrolysis was inferred. Two major changes in the pore structure of lignite char were observed as temperature increased in 105–200 °C and500–700 °C. Pyrolysis temperature is a significant factor in removing carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl from lignite.Variation of ether bond content can be divided into three stages; the content initially increased, then decreased,and finally increased. The equilibrium adsorption ratio, content of oxygen-containing groups, and variation of pore volume below 700° were closely correlated with each other. The amount of adsorbed water on char pyrolyzed at700 °C increased. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the lignite decreased, and the adsorption state changed.     

Adsorption/desorption of toluene on a hypercrosslinked polymeric resin in a highly humid gas stream

In many sources of volatile organic compounds(VOCs), large amounts of water vapor come from the air and the reactors. The relative humidity(RH) of exhaust gas is normally N60% and is supersaturated. Maintaining the property of adsorbent on VOCs in a highly humid gas stream is a serious industrial problem. In this study, the adsorption/desorption behavior of toluene in a micro-mesoporous polymeric resin was investigated in a highly humid environment to explore the influence of abound water vapor on resin adsorption and regeneration.This resin could selectively adsorb toluene at an RH of 80%, and its adsorption property was unaffected by the presence of water vapor. In the case of humidity saturation, the resin displayed a high adsorption capacity at a moisture content of b30%. Therefore, the polymer resin is an excellent water-resistant adsorbent of VOCs.In the regenerative experiment, the resin maintained its original adsorption capability after four adsorption/desorption cycles of toluene purging with nitrogen gas at 120 °C. The resin exhibited excellent regeneration performance at high humidity.     

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF ADSORPTION OF COPPER,NICKEL AND COBALT ON LIGNITE FROM AMMONIACAL SOLUTIONS

The adsorption of Me(metal),NH_3 and CO_2 on lignite from ammoniacal solution containing metallicions such as Cu,Ni,and Co was investigated.Preliminary mechanism studied revealed that active carboxyland phenolic groups of humic acid in lignite as well as surface adsorption were involved.The rate of ap-proach to adsorption equilibrium on lignite was NH_3>Ni>Co>Cu andthe adsorption on lignite is Cu>Co>Ni>NH_3.The order of selective elution was NH_3>>Ni,Co>Cu.All metals were fully stripped and NH,could only be recovered partially.NH_3 adsorbed on lignite fron metal-ammoniacal solution is easily lost by volatilization,only a smallfraction remaining on lignite at a temperature of 120℃.CO_2 adsorbed physically in nature from ammonia-cal solution with a capacity of less then one percent was observed under the practical conditions generallyin hydrometallurgy.     

累托石吸附分离水中金霉素(英文)

The removal of antibiotics from water by clay minerals has become the focus of research due to their strong adsorptive ability. In this study, adsorption of chlortetracycline (CTC) onto rectories was conducted and the effects of time, concentration, temperature and pH were investigated. Experimental results showed that adsorption equilibrium was reached in 8 h. Based on the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity of CTC on rectories was 177.7 mg·g 1 at room temperature. By the study on adsorption dynamics, it is found that the kinetic date fit the pseudo-second-order model well. The adsorption of CTC by rectories is endothermic and the free energy is in the range of 10 to 30 kJ·mol 1 . The pH value of solution has significant effects on adsorption and the optimal pH is at acidity (pH 2-6). At concentration of 2500 mg·L 1 , the intercalated CTC produces an interlayer space with a height of 1.38 nm, which is 1.12 nm in raw rectories, suggesting that the adsorption occurs between layers of rectories.     

Influence of monovalent alkaline metal cations on binder-free nano-zeolite X in para-xylene separation

The adsorption process was studied for separating para-xylene from xylene mixture on modified nano-zeolite X in a breakthrough system. Nano-zeolitic adsorbent with different ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 was synthesized through hydrothermal process and ion-exchanged with alkaline metal cations like lithium, sodium and potassium. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption, transform electron microscopy (TEM) and in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The influence of nano-zeolite water content and desorbent type on the selectivity of para-xylene toward other C8 aromatic isomers was studied. The optimization of adsorption process was also investigated under variable operation conditions. The isotherm for each isomer of C8 aromatics and the desorbents possess the adsorption characteristics of Langmuir type. The selectivity factor of para-xylene relative to each of meta-xylene, ortho-xylene and ethylben-zene under the optimum conditions obtained to be 5.36, 2.43 and 3.22, in the order given.     

空间质量作用模型预测小分子离子交换平衡

The steric mass-action (SMA) model has been widely reported in the literature for ion-exchange and metal-affinity interaction adsorption equilibrium of biomacromolecules. In this paper, the usefulness of SMA model is analyzed for describing micromolecule ion-exchange equilibrium onto cation exchangers, CM Sephadex C-25 and Streamline SP. Batch adsorption experiments with ephedrine hydrochloride as a model adsorbate are carried out to determine the model parameters, that is, steric factor, characteristic charge and equilibrium constant. The result shows that the SMA model parameters of micromolecule cannot be obtained using the nonlinear least-square fitting method as protein‘s due to the remarkable difference between the molecular mass and dimension of micromolecule and protein. It is considered that the small size of the adsorbates dealt with in this study justifies the neglect of steric hindrances arising from adsorbate bulkiness. Thus, the three-parameter SMA model is reduced to two-parameter one (i.e., steric factor is equal to zero) for describing micromolecule ion-exchange equilibrium. It is found that the equilibrium constant for CM Sephadex C-25 increases with increasing ionic strength, while the equilibrium constant for Streamline SP shows an opposite trend. This is probably due to the remarkable difference between the physicalpro perties of the two adsorbents. Then, the relationship between the equilibrium constant and ionic strength is described by an expression. The computer simulations show that, the theoretical model with the correlation is promising in the prediction of micromolecule adsorption decrease with increasing ionic strength in a wide range of salt concentration.     

Liquid–liquid equilibrium extraction of ethanol with mixed solvent for bioethanol concentration

The extraction of ethanol with the solvents of aldehydes mixed with m-xylene was studied for the bioethanol concentration process.Furfural and benzaldehyde were selected as extraction solvents,with which the solubility of water is small,expecting large distribution coefficient of ethanol.The liquid–liquid two-phase region was the largest with m-xylene solvent,followed by benzaldehyde and furfural.The region of two liquid–liquid phase became larger with the mixed solvent of m-xylene and furfural than that with furfural solvent.The NRTL model was applied to the ethanol–water–furfural–m-xylene system,and the model could well express the liquid–liquid equilibrium of the system.For any solvent used in this study,the separation selectivity of ethanol relative to water decreased as the distribution coefficient of ethanol increased.The separation selectivity with m-xylene was the largest among the employed solvents,but the distribution coefficient was the smallest.The solvent mixture of furfural and m-xylene showed relatively high distribution coefficient of ethanol and separation selectivity,even in the higher mass fraction of m-xylene in the solvent phase.The ethanol extraction with a countercurrent multistage extractor by a continuous operation was simulated to evaluate the extraction performance.The ethanol content could be concentrated in the extract phase with relatively small number of extraction stages but low yield of ethanol was obtained.     

褐煤活性炭吸附苯酚的研究

The feasibility and adsorption effect of lignite activated carbon for phenol removal from aqueous solutions were evaluated and investigated. A series of tests were performed to look into the influence of various experimental parameters such as contact time, initial phenol concentration, temperature, and pH value on the adsorption of phenol by lignite activated carbon. The experimental data were fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption is an endothermic process and conforms to Freundlich thermodynamic model. The results indicate that the lignite activated carbon is suitable to be used as an adsorbent material for adsorption of phenol from aqueous solutions.     

表面活性素集成生产过程(Ⅲ)吸附柱的模型

The study is focused on modeling of separation process and optimization.An adsorption separation process is simulated.The surfactin production process by Bacillus subtilis ATCC 21332 followed by surfactin adsorption in a fixed-bed column packed with commercial active carbon is studied in laboratory.The adsorption column achieves high surfactin recovery(94%)by up-flow methanol elution at 25°C.The adsorption column is simulated with a complex one-dimensional plug flow dispersion model coupled with nonlinear adsorption equilibrium,based on the assumption that the adsorption of surfactin is monomolecular layer and no micelle is formed.The molecular diffusion coefficient of surfactin in water solution with electric neutrality is estimated to be 0.428×10 -5 cm 2 ·s -1 by molecular dynamics simulation.The model developed can describe the complex interplay of adsorption kinetics,fluid dynamics,and mass-transfer phenomena based on the assumption of no radial temperature and concentration gradients,and is of adequate precision.The work involved in this paper is valuable for the optimization of the production process of surfactin.     

Salting-out effect of ionic liquids on isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium of acetonitrile-water system☆

This paper presents the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of acetonitrile–water system containing ionic liquids (ILs) at atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa). Since ionic liquids dissociate into anions and cations, the VLE data for the acetonitrile+water+ILs systems are correlated by salt effect models, Furter model and improved Furter model. The overall average relative deviation of Furter model and improved Furter model is 5.43%and 4.68%, respectively. Thus the salt effect models are applicable for the correlation of IL containing systems. The salting-out effect theory can be used to explain the change of relative volatility of acetonitrile–water system.     

Preparation and water sorption properties of novel SiO2-LiBr microcapsules for water-retaining pavement

Novel SiO_2-LiBr microcapsules for water-retaining pavement were prepared and firstly characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM), particle size analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The water vapor sorption and desorption of the formulated microcapsules was then experimentally studied using dynamic vapor sorption(DVS), with the results fitted to three kinds of adsorption kinetics models. In addition, the specific surface area(SSA) was also calculated based on BET theory;and the thermal performance was investigated by laser flash analysis(LFA). Experimental results show a change of 103% in mass of the microcapsule sample under 90% relative humidity(RH) at 30 ℃ after water vapor sorption. The fitting of results indicates that the adsorption process is mainly governed by the intra-particle diffusion mechanism, followed by the pseudo-first-order adsorption process. In comparison with most conventional pavement materials, it is found that the SSA of the formulated microcapsules is much larger while the thermal conductivity is lower. The unique properties of the formulated SiO_2-LiBr microcapsules have significant potential to take the edge off the urban heat island effect and reduce rutting when applied to water-retaining pavement materials.

模拟城市垃圾焚烧中硫化合物对重金属Cd迁移分布的影响

The effect of sulfur compounds （including sulfur, sulfide, sulfite and sulfate）, initial concentration of heavy metal and operating conditions on Cd emission in municipal solid waste （MSW） incineration were investi-gated using a simulated tubular furnace and simulated MSW spiked with Cd. The concentration of Cd was meas-ured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry （ICP-AES） after digesting the samples including bottom ash, fly ash and flue gas according to related USEPA methods. The results show that S and Na2S tend to in- crease Cd partitioning in bottom ash, whereas Na2SO3 and Na2SO4 tend to reduce Cd partitioning in bottom ash. The effect of sulfur compounds on Cd partitioning in bottom ash was in the sequence of Na2S〉S〉Na2SO3〉 Na2SO4. chemical equilibrium analysis is also performed to determine the effect of sorbents on Cd adsorption. The calculations show that S presents strong affinity for Cd and restrains Cd adsorption by SiO2, whereas when temperature rises to between 830℃ and 1030℃, Cd adsorption efficiency of SiO2 is over 80% and the efficiency of Al2O3 is up to 85%.     

Experimental study on the effects of drying methods on the stabilities of lignite

The drying processes are always applied prior to the transportation or utilization of lignite, and result in notable changes in the stabilities of lignite. In this paper, the study on the effects of nitrogen and MTE drying process on the physico-chemical properties and stabilities of Zhaotong lignite was carried out. The briquettes produced by MTE drying in this study were 150 mm in dimension, and so had a much larger particle size than nitrogendried samples. Nitrogen adsorption, mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy all suggested that drying was accompanied by the transformation of larger pores into smaller ones. Compared to nitrogen drying, the pore structures could be stabilized by the MTE process. The soluble salts were removed during MTE drying which resulted in the decrease in ash and the concentrations of some of the major metals.The removal of water enhanced the hydrophilicity of nitrogen dried samples, but did not affect the hydrophilicity of MTE dried samples. The moisture holding capacity of MTE dried samples reduced faster than nitrogen dried samples with the decrease of residual moisture content. Themoisture readsorption processes of MTE dried sampleswere strongly inhibited due to themuch larger particle size of sample produced byMTE drying than nitrogen drying. The susceptibility to spontaneous combustion, indicated by cross point temperature and self-heating tests, of nitrogen and MTE dried samples increased with the decrease of residual moisture content. The MTE dried samples are more liable to spontaneous combustion than nitrogen dried samples with the same residual moisture and particle size. However, the larger particle size of the MTE product made it more stable with respect to spontaneous combustion and also moisture readsorption.     

TIPS behavior for IPP/nano-SiO2 blend membrane formation and its contribution to membrane morphology and performance

In the present work, the TIPS behavior of isotactic polypropylene(iP P)/di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP)/dioctyl phthalate(DOP)/nano-SiO_2 system and the competition relation between liquid–liquid phase separation and polymer crystallization are successfully adjusted by adding nano-SiO_2. The liquid–liquid phase separation temperature of the system increases with increasing nano-SiO_2 content. Besides, iP P crystallization temperature is also changed after adding nano-SiO_2. IPP/nano-SiO_2 blend hollow fiber microporous membrane is prepared via TIPS method. SEM photos show that the membrane exhibits mixed morphology combining cellular structure relating to liquid–liquid phase separation and branch structure originating from polymer crystallization. The relative weight of cellular structure first decreases and then increases with the increase of nano-SiO_2 content. Furthermore, porosity, connectivity among pores and pure water flux of the membrane first increase and then decrease with increasing nano-SiO_2 content. However, mechanical performance of the membrane is improved at all times with increasing nano-SiO_2 content.     

油页岩灰渣合成Na-A沸石用于去除水溶液中Cu2+（英文）

Na-A zeolite was synthesized using oil shale ash （OSA）, which is a solid by-product of oil shale proc- essing. The samples were characterized by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffrac- tion and Brunaner Emmet Teller method. The batch isothermal equilibrium adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the ability of Na-A zeolite for removal of Cu （II） from aqueous solutions. The effects of operating pa- rameters, such as concentration of copper solutions, adsorbent dosages, pH value of solutions and temperature, on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum adsorption capacity of Na-A zeolite obtained from the Langmuir adsorption iso- therm is 156.7 mg.g-t of Cu （lI）. The increase of pH level in the adsorption process suggests that the uptake of heavy metals on the zeolite follows an ion exchange mechanism. The batch kinetic data fit the pseudo-second order equation well. The thermodynamic parameters, such as changes in Gibbs free energy （AG）, enthalpy （AH） and en- tropy （AS）, are used to predict the nature of the adsorption process. The negative AG values at different tempera- tures confirm that the adsorption processes are spontaneous.

Original mass ratios of 2-butanol to water are 1:0，9:1,8:2 and 7:3, respectively. The equilibrium data are correlated with an empirical correlation.

Synthesis of a novel functional group-bridged magnetized bentonite adsorbent:Characterization,kinetics, isotherm,thermodynamics and regeneration

A novel magnetic adsorbent was synthesized by magnetizing bentonite by APTES-Fe_3O_4 via a functional groupbridged interaction. The characterization of APTES-Fe_3O_4/bentonite was conducted via transmission electron microscope(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer(FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), zeta potential analysis and Brunner–Emmet–Teller(BET). The APTES-Fe_3O_4/bentonite was assessed as adsorbents for methylene blue(MB) with a high adsorption capacity(91.83 mg·g~(-1)). Factors affecting the adsorption of MB(such as p H, equilibrium time, temperature and initial concentration) were investigated. The adsorption process completely reaches equilibrium after 120 min and the maximum sorption is achieved at p H 8.0. The adsorption trend follows the pseudosecond order kinetics model. The adsorption data gives good fits with Langmuir isotherm model. The parameter factor RLfalls between 0 and 1, indicating the adsorption of MB is favorable. The adsorption process is endothermic with positive ΔH~0 values. The positive values of ΔG~0 confirm the affinity of the adsorbent towards MB, and suggest an increased randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption process. Regeneration of the saturated adsorbent was easily carried out via gamma-irradiation.     

Measurement and Correlation of Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium Data for Ethanol–Water–KF and Ethanol–Water–K2CO3 Systems

The liquid–liquid equilibrium data for two ternary systems, ethanol–water–KF and ethanol– water–K2CO3, were determined at 25℃. Experiments show that by adding KF or K2CO3 into the ethanol–water system two phases are formed: an ethanol-rich phase with negligible salt and a water-rich phase with negligible ethanol, thus water can be separated out easily. A mathematical calculation of the liquid–liquid equilibrium data was carried out with the Pitzer theory on water activity in the aqueous phase, and with the Wilson or NRTL or UNIQUAC equations for that in the ethanol phase, which is in good agreement with experimental data.
