Adsorption characteristics of UO(2)(2+) and Th(4+) ions from simulated radioactive solutions onto chitosan/clinoptilolite sorbents

Adsorption features of UO(2)(2+) and Th(4+) ions from simulated radioactive solutions onto a novel chitosan/clinoptilolite (CS/CPL) composite as beads have been investigated compared with chitosan cross-linked with epichlorohydrin. The effects of contact time, the initial metal ion concentration, sorbent mass and temperature on the adsorption capacity of the CS-based sorbents were investigated. The adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo-second order equation, and the adsorption isotherms were better fitted by the Sips model. The maximum experimental adsorption capacities were 328.32 mg Th(4+)/g composite, and 408.62 mg UO(2)(2+)/g composite. The overall adsorption tendency of CS/CPL composite toward UO(2)(2+) and Th(4+) radiocations in the presence of Cu(2+), Fe(2+) and Al(3+), under competitive conditions, followed the order: Cu(2+)>UO(2)(2+)>Fe(2+)>Al(3+), and Cu(2+)>Th(4+)>Fe(2+)>Al(3+), respectively. The negative values of Gibbs free energy of adsorption indicated the spontaneity of the adsorption of radioactive ions on both the CS/CPL composite and the cross-linked CS. The desorption level of UO(2)(2+) from the composite CS/CPL, by using 0.1M Na(2)CO(3), was around 92%, and that of Th(4+) ions, performed by 0.1M HCl, was around 85%, both values being higher than the desorption level of radiocations from the cross-linked CS, which were 89% and 83%, respectively.     

Role of metal ion incorporation in ion exchange resin on the selectivity of fluoride

Indion FR 10 resin has sulphonic acid functional group (H(+) form) possesses appreciable defluoridation capacity (DC) and its DC has been enhanced by chemical modification into Na(+) and Al(3+) forms by loading respective metal ions in H(+) form of resin. The DCs of Na(+) and Al(3+) forms were found to be 445 and 478 mg F(-)/kg, respectively, whereas the DC of H(+) form is 265 mg F(-)/kg at 10 mg/L initial fluoride concentration. The nature and morphology of sorbents are characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis. The fluoride sorption was explained using the Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherms and kinetic models. The calculated thermodynamic parameters such as DeltaG degrees, DeltaH degrees, DeltaS degrees and sticking probability (S(*)) explains the nature of sorption. Comparison was also made by the elution capacity of these resins in order to select a cost effective material. A field trial was carried out to test the suitability of the resins with fluoride water collected from a nearby fluoride-endemic area.     

The adsorption of cationic dye from aqueous solution onto acid-activated andesite

The adsorption of cationic dye (i.e., methylene blue) onto acid-activated andesite in aqueous solution was studied in a batch system with respect to its kinetics as a function of agitation speed, initial adsorbate concentration, pH, and adsorbent mass. It was found that the resulting acid-activated adsorbent possessed a mesoporous structure with BET surface areas at around 60m(2)/g. The surface characterization of acid-activated andesite was also performed using the zeta-potential measurements, indicating that the charge sign on the surface of the andesite should be negative in a wide pH range (i.e., 3-11). Furthermore, a simplified kinetic model, pseudo-second-order, was tested to investigate the adsorption behaviors of methylene blue onto the clay samples treated under different process conditions. It was found that the adsorption process could be well described with the model. The adsorption capacity parameter of the model obtained in the present work was significantly in line with the process parameters.     

Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ adsorption from aqueous solutions by pyrite and synthetic iron sulphide

In this study, removal of Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto pyrite and synthetic iron sulphide (SIS) was investigated as a function of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and temperature. It has been determined that the adsorption of metal ions onto both adsorbents is pH dependent and the adsorption capacities increase with the increasing temperature. The mechanisms governing the metal removal processes were determined as chemical precipitation at low pH (<3) due to H(2)S generation and adsorption at high pH (in the range of 3-6). The metal adsorption yields also increased with the increasing adsorbent dosage and contact time and reached to equilibrium for both adsorbents. The Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) adsorption capacities of both adsorbents decrease in the order of Pb(2+)>Cu(2+)>Cd(2+). Except for cadmium, little fraction of copper and lead in the solid adsorption residues was desorbed in acidic media.     

Environmental and health risk analysis of nitrogen trifluoride (NF(3)), a toxic and potent greenhouse gas

The metal ions M(2+) (Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+) and Ag(+)) are potentially toxic. Their electro deposition has been carried out in aqueous air-equilibrated CuCrO(2) suspension upon visible illumination. The delafossite CuCrO(2) is p-type semiconductor characterized by a low band gap (1.28eV) and a long-term chemical stability. The corrosion rate is found to be 10(-2)mumolm(-2)month(-1) in aqua regia. The oxide has been elaborated through nitrate route where the specific surface area is increased via the surface/bulk ratio. A correlation exists between the dark M(2+) adsorption, the redox potential of M(2+/0) couple and the conduction band of CuCrO(2) positioned at -1.06V(SCE). Ag(+) cannot be photoreduced because of its positive potential located far above the valence band. By contrast, Zn(2+) is efficiently deposited due to the large driving force at the interface. The improved photoactivity of copper with a deposition percentage (90%) is attributed to the strong dark adsorption onto the surface catalyst. The results indicate a competitive effect with the water reduction; it has been observed that the M(2+) deposition goes parallel with the hydrogen evolution. Such behavior is attributed to the low H(2) over voltage when ultra fine aggregate of M islands are photodeposited onto CuCrO(2) substrate.     

Studies on biosorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cd2+ by Streptomyces sp. K33 and HL-12

The sorption of Cd(2+) by Streptomyces sp. K33 and HL-12 was investigated. The removal efficiency increased with pH, but no obvious differences with different temperatures. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) was used to characterize the interaction between Cd(2+) and K33 and HL-12. Results revealed that the presence of amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl and carbonyl groups were responsible for the biosorption of Cd(2+). Strain HL-12 had more changes in the functional groups than K33. Biosorption equilibrium was established earlier by strain K33 than that by HL-12, and K33 had higher adsorption ratio. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms were used to describe the adsorption experiment, Langmuir model fitted the experiment data best. Strain K33 showed greater sorption capacities with 38.49 mg Cd(2+)/g dry cells. Pseudo-first-order and second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data, and second-order kinetic model fitted better. About 70% recovery of Cd(2+) could be obtained at pH 相似文献   

Effect of OH-/Al3+ and Si/Al molar ratios on the coagulation performance and residual Al speciation during surface water treatment with poly-aluminum-silicate-chloride (PASiC)

Coagulation performance, mechanism of poly-aluminum-silicate-chloride (PASiC) and residual Al speciation in the effluent with respect to a specific surface water treatment in China were comprehensively investigated in this study. The impact of OH(-)/Al(3+) and Si/Al molar ratios on the coagulation performance, mechanism and residual Al speciation of PASiC in surface water treatment was discussed as a function of coagulant dosage. It was intended to provide an insight into the relationship between coagulation performance and residual Al. Experimental results revealed that when OH(-)/Al(3+) molar ratio = 2.00 and Si/Al molar ratio = 0.0500 in PASiC coagulant, PASiC exhibited beneficial coagulation property and relatively lower content of residual Al. Surface bridging and entrapment was more effective compared with charge neutralization during the specific surface water treatment. The majority of residual Al in the effluent existed in the form of insoluble suspended or particulate Al. Dissolved organically bound Al was almost the major speciation in dissolved Al and dissolved inorganically bound monomeric Al was the only component in dissolved monomeric Al. Al in PASiC remained abundant at lower dosages and residual Al concentration could be effectively reduced at the dosages of 12.0-15.0mg/L as Al.     

Removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution by adsorption onto acid-activated palygorskite

A series of activated palygorskite clay by HCl with different concentrations was prepared and applied as adsorbents for removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of contact time, adsorbent dosages and pHs of suspension on the adsorption capacities for Cu(II) were investigated. The results showed that adsorption capacity of activated palygorskites increased with increasing the HCl concentration and the maximum adsorption capacity with 32.24 mg/g for Cu(II) is obtained at 12 mol/L of HCl concentration. The variations in IR spectra and pH of solution after adsorption Cu(II) confirmed that the numerous amount of silanol groups (Si-OH) originated by acid treatment were mainly responsible for Cu(II) adsorption onto acid-activated palygorskite. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption mechanisms in the Cu(II)/acid-activated palygorskite system followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a relatively small contribution of film diffusion. Equilibrium data fitted well with Freundlich isotherm model compared to Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that adsorption takes place on heterogeneous surfaces of the acid-activated palygorskite. Adsorption-desorption studies presented that activated palygorskite has lower adsorption and desorption efficiencies using Cu(CH3COO)2 than that of other inorganic copper salts, such as CuSO4, Cu(NO3)2, and CuCl2.     

Influence of ionic strength in the adsorption and during photocatalysis of reactive black 5 azo dye on TiO2 coated on non woven paper with SiO2 as a binder

Reactive black 5 (RB5), an azo dye, was degraded by using UV-irradiated TiO(2) coated on non woven paper with SiO(2) as a binder. The adsorption capacity of the photocatalyst was studied at natural pH, superior to pH(pzc) of the binder, for various ionic strengths. Different salts such as NaCl, KCl, CaCl(2), LiCl, Ca(NO(3))(2) were used to increase the ionic strength. The presence of salt increased the adsorption capacity. The electrostatic interactions between dye and oxide surface charges (TiO(2)/SiO(2)) is very important in the adsorption phenomena. The effect of the ionic strength of the solution on photocatalyst degradation was studied. The rate of degradation was increased by the presence of salts in the range of the experimental conditions. The increase of the initial decolorization rate was observed in the following order: Ca(2+)>K(+)>Na(+)>Li(+). Experiments with different anions (Cl(-), NO(3)(-)) had shown that nitrate was an indifferent electrolyte for the adsorption and photodegradation of the dye on SiO(2)/TiO(2).     

DNA machines: bipedal walker and stepper

The assembly of a "bipedal walker" and of a "bipedal stepper" using DNA constructs is described. These DNA machines are activated by H(+)/OH(-) and Hg(2+)/cysteine triggers. The bipedal walker is activated on a DNA template consisting of four nucleic acid footholds. The forward "walking" of the DNA on the template track is activated by Hg(2+) ions and H(+) ions, respectively, using the thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine complex or the i-motif structure as the DNA translocation driving forces. The backward "walking" is activated by OH(-) ions and cysteine, triggers that destroy the i-motif or thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine complexes. Similarly, the "bipedal stepper" is activated on a circular DNA template consisting of four tethered footholds. With the Hg(2+)/cysteine and H(+)/OH(-) triggers, clockwise or anticlockwise stepping is demonstrated. The operation of the DNA machines is followed optically by the appropriate labeling of the walker-foothold components with the respective fluorophores/quenchers units.     

Pre-treatment processes of Azolla filiculoides to remove Pb(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solution in the batch and fixed-bed reactors

Intact and treated biomass can remove heavy metals from water and wastewater. This study examined the ability of the activated, semi-intact and inactivated Azolla filiculoides (a small water fern) to remove Pb(2+), Cd(2+), Ni(2+) and Zn(2+) from the aqueous solution. The maximum uptake capacities of these metal ions using the activated Azolla filiculoides by NaOH at pH 10.5 +/- 0.2 and then CaCl(2)/MgCl(2)/NaCl with total concentration of 2 M (2:1:1 mole ratio) in the separate batch reactors were obtained about 271, 111, 71 and 60 mg/g (dry Azolla), respectively. The obtained capacities of maximum adsorption for these kinds of the pre-treated Azolla in the fixed-bed reactors (N(o)) were also very close to the values obtained for the batch reactors (Q(max)). On the other hand, it was shown that HCl, CH(3)OH, C(2)H(5)OH, FeCl(2), SrCl(2), BaCl(2) and AlCl(3) in the pre-treatment processes decreased the ability of Azolla to remove the heavy metals in comparison to the semi-intact Azolla, considerably. The kinetic studies showed that the heavy metals uptake by the activated Azolla was done more rapid than those for the semi-intact Azolla.     

Kinetics of Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3) catalytic ozonation of the herbicide 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid

The presence of Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3) can improve degradation efficiency significantly during the ozonation of the herbicide 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid (2,4-DP). The main factors affecting degradation efficiency, such as pH, the catalyst concentration and addition of the scavenger, were investigated. The kinetics of the catalytic ozonation are also discussed. The results indicate that two factors, the oxidation after adsorption of 2,4-DP and the oxidation of hydroxyl radicals (OH), lead to a great enhancement in ozonation efficiency during the catalytic ozonation of 2,4-DP in the presence of Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3), in which the oxidation of the OH plays an important role. Under controlled conditions, the apparent reaction rate constants for the degradation of 2,4-DP were determined to be 2.567 × 10(-4)s(-1) for O(3) and 1.840 × 10(-3)s(-1) for O(3)/Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3). The results from the analysis of the reaction kinetics using the relative method showed that O(3)/Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3) possessed a larger R(ct) (R(ct) is defined as the ratio of the ·OH exposure to the O(3) exposure, R(ct) = ∫C(t)(OH) dt/C(t)O(3)dt) than O(3), indicating that O(3)/Fe(3)O(4)-CoO/Al(2)O(3) produced more hydroxyl radicals.     

FTIR spectrophotometry, kinetics and adsorption isotherms modeling, ion exchange, and EDX analysis for understanding the mechanism of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) removal by mango peel waste

Mango peel waste (MPW) was evaluated as a new sorbent for the removal of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) from aqueous solution. The maximum sorption capacity of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) was found to be 68.92 and 99.05mgg(-1), respectively. The kinetics of sorption of both metals was fast, reaching at equilibrium in 60min. Sorption kinetics and equilibria followed pseudo-second order and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models. FTIR analysis revealed that carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups were mainly responsible for the sorption of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+). Chemical modification of MPW for blocking of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups showed that 72.46% and 76.26% removal of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+), respectively, was due to the involvement of carboxylic group, whereas 26.64% and 23.74% was due to the hydroxyl group. EDX analysis of MPW before and after metal sorption and release of cations (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Na(+), K(+)) and proton H(+) from MPW with the corresponding uptake of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) revealed that the main mechanism of sorption was ion exchange. The regeneration experiments showed that the MPW could be reused for five cycles without significant loss in its initial sorption capacity. The study points to the potential of new use of MPW as an effective sorbent for the removal of Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) from aqueous solution.     

The effect of Fe0/Fe2+/Fe3+ on nitrobenzene degradation in the anaerobic sludge

The influence of Fe(0)/Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) on the nitrobenzene (NB) degradation in the anaerobic granular sludge was studied and the results demonstrated that: adding iron powder into the anaerobic sludge could exert an accelerative effect on the NB degradation and the degradation rate was faster than that by using iron or the anaerobic sludge alone. The external addition of Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) exhibited different influences on the NB degradation depending on the concentrations of Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) and the solution's pH. When Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) are less than 100 mg/L at pH 6, Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) inhibited the NB degradation slightly, and when Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) was 100-200 mg/L, the NB degradation was enhanced. When pH was shifted to 9, Fe(2+) of lower than 100 mg/L promoted the NB degradation, and 200 mg/L Fe(2+) inhibit the NB degradation. The synergism of combined use of iron and the anaerobic sludge in treating NB wastewater was proposed, and adjusting the concentrations of Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) in the anaerobic sludge according to the pH of the wastewater could be an effective method to obtain a high removal rate of NB.     

Simultaneous adsorption of phenol and cadmium on amphoteric modified soil

Surface modification is an effective way to enhance adsorption of pollutants by soil. In this study, we investigated the individual adsorption of cadmium ion (Cd(2+)) and phenol and also in combination by the clay layer of a loessial soil treated with the amphoteric modifier, duodalkylbetaine (BS-12). Three levels of BS-12 modification were compared in this experiment: (1) unmodified soil (CK), (2) modification with an amount of BS-12 equivalent to 50% of the soil's CEC (50BS) and (3) modification with an amount of BS-12 equivalent to 100% of the soil's CEC (100BS). Cd(2+) adsorption was 0.92-1.70 times higher in the amphoteric modified soil compared to unmodified soil. Adsorption isotherms for Cd(2+) displayed a L1-type shape. Phenol adsorption was 1.25-4.35 times higher in the amphoteric modified soil compared to the unmodified control. The adsorption isotherms of phenol on amphoteric modified soils were generally linear, but changed to L1-type isotherms for modified soil in the Cd(2+)+phenol treatment at 40 degrees C. The results clearly showed that amphoteric modified soil had the ability to simultaneously adsorb Cd(2+) and phenol. Cd(2+) adsorption by the amphoteric modified soil was related to the initial concentration of Cd(2+) in the supernatant. Cd(2+) adsorption in the 100BS treatment exceeded adsorption in the 50BS treatment when Cd(2+) initial concentrations were higher than approximate 200 microg mL(-1). Phenol adsorption by modified soils decreased in the order: 100BS>50BS>CK and was primarily determined by the surface hydrophobicity of the soil. For the unmodified soil, total adsorption in the Cd(2+)+phenol treatment was slightly lower compared to treatments that contained only Cd(2+) or phenol. This indicated an antagonistic effect between the adsorption of Cd(2+) and phenol, which was reduced after amphoteric modification. A comparison of temperature effects on Cd(2+) and phenol adsorption indicated that Cd(2+) was both physically and chemically adsorbed by the amphoteric modified soil, but phenol was primarily adsorbed physically.     

Removal of Supranol Yellow 4GL by adsorption onto Cr-intercalated montmorillonite

Cr(III)-intercalated montmorillonite was utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of the organic pollutant, Supranol Yellow 4GL, a synthetic dye used for chemical fibres. The material was prepared by the reaction of Na montmorillonite with a base-hydrolyzed solution of Cr nitrate salt (OH(-)/Cr(3+) molar ratios of 2). XRD data showed that the interlayer spacing (d(001)) of montmorillonite was increased from 12.35 to 23.06 Angstroms. The kinetics and mechanism of the adsorption of the acid dye, Supranol Yellow 4GL, on Cr(III)-intercalated montmorillonite was investigated. The equilibrium time was reached within 30 min. The process follows pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. The Langmuir isotherm described the adsorption data over the concentration range (20-160 mg/l). The separator factor R(L) revealed the favourable nature of this adsorption process. Also, the thermodynamic parameters such as DeltaS degrees, DeltaH degrees, DeltaG degrees were determined.     

Factors influencing the removal of divalent cations by hydroxyapatite

The effect of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration and presence of common competing cations, on hydroxyapatite (HAP) sorption properties towards Pb(2+), Cd(2+), Zn(2+), and Sr(2+) ions was studied and compared using a batch technique. The results strongly indicated the difference between the sorption mechanism of Pb(2+) and other investigated cations: the removal of Pb(2+) was pH-independent and almost complete in the entire pH range (3-12), while the sorption of Cd(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) generally increased with an increase of pH; the contact time required for attaining equilibrium was 30 min for Pb(2+) versus 24h needed for other cations; maximum sorption capacity of HAP sample was found to be an order of magnitude higher for Pb(2+) (3.263 mmol/g), than for Cd(2+) (0.601 mmol/g), Zn(2+) (0.574 mmol/g) and Sr(2+) (0.257 mmol/g); the selectivity of HAP was found to decrease in the order Pb(2+)>Cd(2+)>Zn(2+)>Sr(2+) while a decrease of pH(PZC), in respect to the value obtained in inert electrolyte, followed the order Cd(2+)>Zn(2+)>Pb(2+)>Sr(2+); neither of investigated competing cations (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Na(+) and K(+)) influenced Pb(2+) immobilization whereas the sorption of other cations was reduced in the presence of Ca(2+), in the order Sr(2+)>Cd(2+)>or=Zn(2+). The pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm have been proposed for modeling kinetic and equilibrium data, respectively. The sorption of all examined metals was followed by Ca(2+) release from the HAP crystal lattice and pH decrease. The ion exchange and specific cation sorption mechanisms were anticipated for Cd(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+), while dissolution of HAP followed by precipitation of hydroxypyromorphite (Pb(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2)) was found to be the main operating mechanism for Pb(2+) immobilization by HAP, with the contribution of specific cation sorption.     

Sorption processes and XRD analysis of a natural zeolite exchanged with Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) cations

In this study the Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) adsorption capacity of a natural zeolite was evaluated in batch tests at a constant pH of 5.5 by polluting this mineral with solutions containing increasing concentrations of the three cations to obtain adsorption isotherms. In addition X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the changes of zeolite structure caused by the exchange with cations of different ionic radius. The zeolite adsorption capacity for the three cations was Zn>Pb>Cd. Moreover a sequential extraction procedure [H(2)O, 0.05 M Ca(NO(3))(2) and 0.02 M EDTA] was applied to zeolite samples used in the adsorption experiments to determine the chemical form of the cations bound to the sorbent. Using this approach it was shown that low concentrations of Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) were present as water-soluble and exchangeable fractions (<25% of the Me adsorbed), while EDTA extracted most of the adsorbed cations from the zeolite (>27% of the Me adsorbed). The XRD pattern of zeolite, analysed according to the Rietveld method, showed that the main mineralogical phase involved in the adsorption process was clinoptilolite. Besides structure information showed that the incorporation of Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+), into the zeolite frameworks changed slightly but appreciably the lattice parameters. XRD analysis also showed the occurrence of some isomorphic substitution phenomena where the Al(3+) ions of the clinoptilolite framework were replaced by exchanged Pb(2+) cations in the course of the ion exchange reaction. This mechanism was instead less evident in the patterns of the samples doped with Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) cations.     

Characterization of metal removal of immobilized Bacillus strain CR-7 biomass from aqueous solutions

Bacillus strain CR-7 of multiple metal and antibiotic resistances was isolated. Its metal adsorption under different pretreatments and immobilizations from aqueous solution was characterized. Pretreatment with NaOH (0.1 mol L(-1)) significantly improved Cu(2+) adsorption capacity of the bacterial biomass. Sodium alginate (2%) was the ideal immobilization matrix. The immobilized and pretreated biomass had an obvious "orderliness", following the order of Cu(2+)>Zn(2+) in the solution containing these two metals, and following the order of Pb(2+)>Al(3+)>Cr(6+)>Cu(2+)>Fe(3+)>Zn(2+) = Ni(2+)>Cd(2+) = Co(2+)>Mn(2+) in the solution containing these 10 metals. ΔH° and ΔS° of Cu(2+) adsorption were +7.68 J/mol and +16.628 J/mol K, respectively. The infrared peak of -N-H shifted greatly after Cu(2+) adsorption. After adsorption treatment, some molecular groups disappeared in un-immobilized biomass but were still present in the immobilized biomass. Cu(2+) adsorption fit both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. It was concluded (1) that the Cu(2+) adsorption process was endothermic, (2) that -N-H is a most important Cu(2+)-binding group, (3) that immobilization prevents loss or damage of the Cu(2+)-binding molecular groups, and (4) that Cu(2+) adsorption of pretreated and immobilized biomass is homogeneous.     

共存离子对Bentonite/LS-g-AM-co-MAH吸附Pb~(2+)的影响

采用自制膨润土/木质素磺酸钠接枝丙烯酰胺-马来酸酐复合吸附树脂(Bentonite/LS-g-AM-co-MAH),研究了外加电解质中竞争阳离子与共存阴离子对Bentonite/LS-g-AM-co-MAH吸附Pb~(2+)的影响。结果表明:竞争阳离子Li~+、Na~+、K~+、Mg~(2+)、Ca~(2+)、Ni ~(2+)、Co~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)和Cu~(2+)抑制Pb~(2+)的吸附,抑制作用顺序为Cu~(2+)Cd~(2+)Zn~(2+)Co~(2+)Ni ~(2+)Ca~(2+)Mg~(2+)K~+Na~+Li~+;Fe~(3+)和Al~(3+)在pH=2.0~3.0时抑制Pb~(2+)的吸附,在pH=4.0~6.0时促进Pb~(2+)的吸附,两者的影响顺序为Fe~(3+)Al~(3+)。共存阴离子NO_3~-、Cl~-和Br~-抑制Pb~(2+)的吸附,抑制作用顺序为Br~-Cl~-NO_3~-;SO_4~(2-)和PO_4~(3-)有利于去除Pb~(2+),两者影响基本相同。
