Preparation of magnetic zeolite/chitosan composite using silane as modifier for adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions

This study aimed to prepare an efficient, cost-effective, and separable magnetic zeolite/chitosan composite (MZFA/CS) adsorbent from solid waste to deal with the water pollution of Cr(VI). The MZFA/CS was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. Then, the effect of pH, temperature, initial concentration of Cr(VI) ions, and contact time was considered in the study. For a sorbent dose of 0.1 g in 50 mL of a Cr(VI) solution, at a contact time of 30 min, temperature of 30°C, and a pH of 3, an adsorption capacity (q_e) of 16.96 mg g⁻¹ was achieved. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm data obtained for all adsorption systems were well-fitted by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The thermodynamic study suggested that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. In summary, the adsorbent with better separability (Ms = 16.83 emu g⁻¹) and adsorbability was successfully fabricated.     

The direct adsorption of low concentration gallium from fly ash

This study is mainly focused on the direct adsorption of low concentration gallium from the feed solution in pre-desilication soda-lime sintering process from coal fly ash. The adsorption kinetics, mechanism, and the influence of impurities, cyclic times, and eluant content are systematically researched. Results showed that the adsorption capacity was 2.89 mg/g resin with gallium concentration of 50 mg/L. The adsorption mechanism could be explained by the interaction between the oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms of amidoxime group. Gallium was eluted efficiently by NaOH and Na₂S mixed solution and the concentration could be reached to 2400 mg/L.     

Chemical modification of coal fly ash for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution

This study investigated the chemical modifications of coal fly ash treated with HCl and NaOH. Sorption behavior of phosphate from water solution on treated fly ash was examined. Results showed that the HCl-treated fly ash (TFA-HCl) had a greater specific surface area (SSA) than the NaOH-treated fly ash (TFA-NaOH) and untreated fly ash (FA). The XRF, XRD patterns, and SEM images revealed the decreased CaO content in the TFA-HCl and observed the presence of NaP1 and sodalite zeolites in the TFA-NaOH. The P sorption capacity of all studied fly ashes increased with increasing initial P concentration and mechanisms of P sorption were influenced by the equilibrium pH. Maximum phosphate immobilization capacity obtained from Langmuir model was in the following manner, TFA-NaOH > FA > TFA-HCl (57.14, 23.20, and 6.90 mg P g⁻¹, respectively). The decreased CaO content and acidic pH in the TFA-HCl were responsible for the lowest capacity of phosphate immobilization, because of unfavorable condition for calcium phosphate precipitation. In contrast, due to alkaline condition and relatively high calcium content, the precipitation of calcium phosphate was a key mechanism for phosphate removal in the FA and TFA-NaOH. The TFA-NaOH had a greatest phosphate immobilization, due to high CaO content and an increased SSA after the conversion of fly ash to zeolite. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models were good fitted for the TFA-NaOH, while was only Langmuir model for the FA and Freundlich model for the TFA-HCl. Results suggested that treating fly ash with alkaline solution was a promising way to enhance phosphate immobilization.     

Removal of Fe(III) ion from aqueous solution by adsorption on raw and treated clinoptilolite samples

Iron (III) adsorption from aqueous solutions onto raw and pretreated clinoptilolite was investigated here. Various parameters for iron removal; initial solution pH, contact time and metal ion concentration were optimized. The equilibrium data were modeled by both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms at optimal conditions. Adsorption capacities of raw samples and those pretreated with Na₂S₂O₈ at 20 °C , 70 °C and with HNO₃ at 20 °C were all similar but samples pretreated with HNO₃ at 70 °C were significantly different; iron (III) removal from samples pretreated with HNO₃ decreased with increasing pretreatment temperature. Tests with Fe⁺³ solutions containing phenol, CsCl or KCl, indicated the continued presence of these ions in zeolite which either promoted or retarded the adsorption of iron. The Fe⁺³ adsorption capacity of clinoptilolite pretreated with HNO₃ at 70 °C was about two times greater with, than without, CsCl and KCl. The kinetics of iron adsorption from aqueous solution were also investigated using the first-order Lagergren equation and a pseudo-second-order model.     

Zeolite synthesis from coal fly ash for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solution

Fly ash samples from the Bayswater and Eraring power plants, located in New South Wales, Australia, were used in a preliminary study on zeolite synthesis by hydrothermal treatment with sodium hydroxide under various conditions. The treated fly ash was tested for the ability to remove lead ions from aqueous solution. Both fly ashes were partially converted to zeolite. The zeolites formed under the experimental conditions were zeolite Na‐P1 and sodalite octahydrate for the Bayswater ash and phillipsite, zeolite X, zeolite Na‐P1 and sodalite octahydrate for the Eraring ash. The type of zeolite formed was dependent on the treatment time and sodium hydroxide concentration. In the case of the Bayswater ash, zeolite Na‐P1 was formed by treatment with 4 mol dm^?3 NaOH for 48 h while treatment with 5 mol dm^?3 NaOH for 96 h produced sodalite octahydrate at the expense of zeolite Na‐P1. In the case of the Eraring ash, phillipsite was formed following treatment with 3 mol dm^?3 NaOH, zeolite X and zeolite Na‐P1 were formed following treatment with 4 mol dm^?3 NaOH and sodalite octahydrate was formed following treatment with 5 mol dm^?3 NaOH. A maximum cation exchange capacity of ～400 meq/100 g was achieved by both treated ash samples. Treatment of a solution with a lead ion concentration of 120 ppm using 0.5 g of both treated ash samples (S/L ratio = 0.25 g/100 cm³) achieved complete removal in 5 min, whereas treatment with 0.1 g of each material (S/L ratio = 0.05 g/100 cm³) achieved complete lead ion removal after 24 h. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry     

Removal of trivalent chromium(III) from solution by biosorption in cork powder

The removal of trivalent chromium from solutions using biosorption in cork powder is described. The adsorption isotherm was determined, along with the effect of different variables, such as biomass particle size, solid–liquid ratio, reaction time, metal concentration and pH, on the efficiency of chromium removal. It was concluded that the adsorption is slow and favoured by an increase in pH. Therefore, using a solid–liquid ratio of 4 g dm^?3 it is possible to reduce the chromium concentration in the solution from 10 mg dm^?3 to less than 1.5 mg dm^?3 in 2 h at 22 °C. The kinetic studies verified that the sorption of chromium by cork was described by a second‐order model. The elution results showed that 50% of the chromium bound to the cork was eluted using 0.5 mol dm^?3 H₂SO₄ and that cork maintains its binding capacity over four cycles of biosorption/elution. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Role of unburnt carbon in adsorption of dyes on fly ash

Various fly ash samples with different unburnt carbon contents were collected, characterised and tested for adsorption of basic dyes, Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet, in aqueous solution. It was found that unburnt carbon plays a major role in dye adsorption. The mineral matter of fly ash has little adsorption capacity and most of the adsorption capacity of fly ash can be attributed to the unburnt carbon. The fly ash with higher unburnt carbon content will have higher adsorption capacity. For the carbon‐free fly ash, adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet are only 2 × 10^?6 mol g^?1 and 1.0 × 10^?6 mol g^?1, respectively, while the adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet on carbon‐enriched fly ash are 1.2 × 10^?4 mol g^?1 and 1.0 × 10^?4 mol g^?1, respectively. A two‐site Langmuir adsorption model best describes the adsorption isotherm. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

Adsorption of chromium (III) ion from aqueous solution using rice hull ash

Rice hull was calcined to rice hull ash (RHA) at 500 °C under 20 mL air/s for 50 min. The RHA thus prepared has been found to be able to remove chromium (III) ion from aqueous solution, though not very efficient. The experiments indicated that the rate of removal of Cr³⁺ and the removal of Cr³⁺ at equilibrium was increased upon decreasing the RHA dosage. The removal could also be enhanced upon increasing the initial chromium concentration, or adsorption temperature. However, pH in the range of 2.5-5.4 or stroke speed higher than 120 stroke/min could not change the removal. The dependence of the RHA dosage and the initial chromium concentration on the removal have been found to be strong, while that of adsorption temperature is mild. An empirical equation correlating the relationship between the removal of Cr³⁺ and the adsorption time was determined.

超声波辅助粉煤灰去除水中亚甲基蓝染料的动力学分析

为了开发更多的粉煤灰用途,采用粉煤灰去除水中的染料污染物,达到以废治废的目的。采用超声波辅助粉煤灰的方法,以亚甲基蓝染料作为模拟污染物,考察此工艺的可行性,讨论亚甲基蓝的去除效果,分析其动力学。研究结果证明,超声波-粉煤灰联合体系（US-FA体系）具有良好的去除染料污染物的能力,超声波的引入能提高粉煤灰对染料污染物的去除率,协同效应非常明显,粉煤灰投加量0.3、0.5、1.0和2.0 g的情况下,协同因子分别达到1.05、1.32、1.55和2.27。在本实验体系内,经过恒温控制后,超声波的热效应可以忽略,主要通过粉煤灰吸附和羟基自由基降解两大主要途径去除污染物,超声波对去除性能的促进作用主要体现在以下几个方面：一是超声波空化作用产生羟基自由基,超声波和粉煤灰表面相互作用产生更多的羟基自由基;二是超声波能促进粉煤灰表面产生更多的活性位,促进了吸附过程的化学反应步骤,由于粉煤灰对亚甲基蓝的吸附过程以化学反应为控制步骤,所以超声波能大为促进粉煤灰的吸附性能;三是超声波的引入加剧了固液混合,促进污染物向固相表面移动,促进更多的污染物进入到吸附剂颗粒内部,改善了传质。

Synthesis of zeolite Na-P1 from coal fly ash produced by gasification and its application as adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from water

The coal fly ash produced by gasification is estimated to be over 80 million ton per year in China by 2021. It has mainly been disposed as solid waste by landfill. There is lack of study focused on its utilization. In this paper, the coal fly ash produced by gasification was at first analyzed and then applied to synthesize zeolite as an adsorbent. The effects of synthesis conditions on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of zeolite were investigated. The results from X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope indicated that the crystallinity of the synthesized zeolite is the most important factor to affect the CEC. When the synthesized zeolite with the highest CEC (275.5 meq/100 g) was used for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) was found to be 17.924 mg/g. The effects of pH, contact time and initial concentration on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were also investigated. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms can be well described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively.

Contribution of agro‐waste material main components (hemicelluloses,cellulose, and lignin) to the removal of chromium (III) from aqueous solution

BACKGROUND: Agro‐waste materials can be used as biosorbents of heavy metals in aqueous solution. However, it is necessary to further study the contribution of agro‐waste materials components (i.e. hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignin) to the heavy metal ions removal from aqueous solution to better understand the biosorption mechanism, and also based on the biosorbents main components, to predict their potential to remove heavy metals. RESULTS: Cellulose is contained in major proportion (greater than 46%) in the agro‐waste materials reported herein compared with hemicelluloses (from 12% to 26%), lignin (varying from 3% to 10%), and other compounds (22% to 30%) that were removed after the neutral detergent fiber procedure. The identified functional groups in agro‐waste materials and their fractions included hydroxyl, carboxyl, and nitrogen‐containing compounds. Lignin contributed in higher proportion than hemicelluloses to Cr (III) adsorption capacity in both sorghum straw and oats straw. On the other hand lignin was the main fraction responsible for Cr (III) adsorption in agave bagasse. CONCLUSION: Hemicelluloses and lignin were the main contributors to Cr (III) removal from aqueous solution, and cellulose contained in the agro‐waste adsorbents studied did not seem to participate.
