Separation of baicalin from Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi with polyamide

Separation of baicalin from Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi with polyamide was studied. The adsorption isotherm, kinetic equation and desorption law were investigated by static and dynamic adsorption methods. The results show that the kinetic behavior is mainly controlled by the liquid film diffusion process and obeys the Boyd film diffusion equation. Equilibrium data for the adsorption of baicalin are correlated with Freundlich isotherm equation, i.e.q=3.8C2.057e, suggesting that the relative capacity of polyamide to baicalin is somewhat small. The desorption results indicate that the baicalin with mass fraction of 33.86% and the least impurities can be obtained by chromatography using 60% ethanol as the eluant at room temperature.     

Biosorption mechanism of Cr （Ⅳ） onto cells of Synechococcus sp.

The biosorption mechanism of Cr （Ⅳ） ions on Synechococcus sp. biosorbent was studied by analyzing the biosorption kinetics as well as speciation change and bond formation during the biosorption process. The kinetics study shows that the adsorption process of Cr （Ⅳ） consists of a very fast stage in the first several minutes, in which more than half of the saturation adsorption is attained, and a slower stage that approximately follows the first order kinetic model, basically Freundlich isotherm models were observed. Comparative studies of FT-LR spectra of K2Cr2O7, free cells of Synechococcus sp., and Cr-bound cells of Synechococcus sp show that the speciation of chromium that binds to the cells ofSynechococcus sp. is Cr （Ⅲ）, instead of Cr （Ⅳ）, and the carboxylic, alcoholic, amido and amino groups may be involved in the binding of Cr （Ⅲ）. Integrative analyses of the surface electric potential, the effect of pH value on adsorption behavior of Cr （Ⅵ）, and the results of FT-IR show that the biosorption of Cr （Ⅵ） follows two subsequent steps, biosorption of Cr2O7 ^2- by electrostatical force at the protonated active sites and reduction of Cr2O7^2- to Cr^3＋ by the reductive groups on the surface of the biosorbents.     

Removal of lead in wastewater by immobilized inactivated cells of Rhizopus oligosporus

A novel technology for lead removal with nonliving Rhizopus oligosporus immobilized in calcium alginate was studied.

Desorption efficiency of different eluants and kinetics were investigated. Citrate the reaction equilibrium reaches 3 h. Immobilized biomass keeps high lead biosorption capacity after five cycles of regeneration.

Removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution using ultrafine coal fly ash

Coal fly ashes WSRA and BQRA were ball milled for 5 h to produce their ultrafine coal fly ashes WSUA and BQUA, respectively. Batch kinetic, isotherm and pH effect on adsorption were studied to evaluate removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions by ultrafine coal fly ashes comparing with raw coal fly ashes. The kinetics of adsorption indicates the process to be intraparticle diffusion controlled and follows the Lagergren first-order kinetics for all coal fly ashes. The first-order rate constants (k ₁) of Cr (VI) adsorption onto WSRA, WSUA, BQRA and BQUA are 1.981, 1.497, 2.119 and 1.500 (×10⁻²) min⁻¹, respectively. The adsorption capacities of WSUA and BQUA are much better than those of WSRA and BQRA. Equilibrium adsorption data of all coal fly ashes well satisfy the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorbed amounts of Cr (VI) onto WSUA and BQUA decrease from pH 2 to pH 6 and then increase up to pH 12.     

Synthesis and characterization of montmorillonite inorgano-intercalation compound assisted by microwave irradiation

A montmorillonite inorgano-intercalation compound(MIIC) was synthesized by using a purified Na-exchanged bentonite (PNaB) as a matrix and Al-pillaring ion as an intercalating reagent under microwave irradiation. The synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ²⁷Al magic angle sample-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (²⁷Al MAS NMR), specific surface area (BET) measurement, and adsorption density determination. The results show that, at 5% solid (PNaB) concentration and 7 minutes irradiation in a 130 W microwave oven, the basal spacing d ₍₀₀₁₎ of the synthesized MIIC increases to 1.740 nm from the original 1.218 nm of PNaB. The MIIC has much higher adsorptive densities to F⁻ and Cr⁶⁺ from aqueous solution than the PNaB. The adsorption isotherm of F⁻ on the MIIC follows the Freundlich equation, and the increased adsorption is mainly due to the porous structure of the MIIC which created larger adsorption surfaces. The adsorption isotherm of Cr⁶⁺ on MIIC follows the Langmuir equation and the adsorption is mainly monolayer as a result of chemisorptions.     

Synthesis of modified D401 chelating resin and its adsorption properties for Pb^2＋

A novel chelating resin with sulfonic group was synthesized by chemical modification of D401 resin with sulphonation reaction and characterized by FT-IR spectrometry. The adsorption properties of the novel chelating resin for Pb²⁺ were studied by batch adsorption, and the adsorption process was analyzed from thermodynamics and kinetics aspects. The adsorption mechanism of Pb²⁺ on the modified D401 chelating resin was discussed by FT-IR spectrometry. Experimental results show that in the Pb²⁺ concentration range of 200–400 mg/L, the adsorption capacities of the modified D401 chelating resin for Pb²⁺ increase by 77%–129%, and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model is more suitable for the equilibrium adsorption data. Adsorption is an endothermic process that runs spontaneously. Kinetic analysis shows that the adsorption rate is mainly governed by liquid film diffusion. The best pH value under adsorption condition is 4–5. The saturated resin can be regenerated by 3 mol/L nitric acid, and the adsorption capacity remains stable after five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. The maximal static saturated adsorption capacity of the resin is 206 mg/g at 333 K in the Pb²⁺ concentration range of 200–400 mg/L. The modified D401 chelating resin is an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Pb²⁺ from its single-metal ion solution.

Physical simulation of hot deformation of TiAI based alloy

In order to establish a model between the grain size and the process parameters, the hot deformation behaviors of Ti-49.5Al alloy was investigated by isothermal compressive tests at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1 100 ℃ with strain rates of 10^-3-10^-1 s^-1. Within this range, the deformation behavior obeys the power law relationship, which can be described using the kinetic rate equation. The stress exponent, n, has a value of about 5.0, and the apparent activation energy is about 320 J/mol, which fits well with the value estimated in previous investigations. The results show that, the dependence of flow stress on the recrystallized grain size can be expressed by the equation: σ = K1 drex^-0.56. The relationship between the deformed microstructure and the process control parameter can be expressed by the formula: lgdrex= -0.281 1gZ 3.908 1.

Recovery of molybdenum from residues by simultaneous ultrafine milling and alkali leaching

A new technology of treating molybdenum residues by simultaneous ultmfme milling and alkali leaching was put forward to recover molybdenum from metallurgical residues. The effects of residue size, milling time, solid content, n(Na2CO3)/n(Mo) and slurry pH value on molybdenum leaching rate were investigated. The results indicate that a simpler process, lower slurry temperature, 50% shorter treating time, 60% decrease of Na2CO3 content and 15% increase of molybdenum leaching rate can be obtained by the new technology compared with the traditional process. The leaching kinetic equation was determined, and calculation of active energy (E = 56.2 kJ/mol) shows that the leaching process of molybdenum residues by simultaneous ultmfine milling and alkali leaching is controlled by chemical reaction. Potential exists for the new process to form the basis for an economically viable, environmentally friendly process to recover valuable elements from residues.

Removal of Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ by adsorption on clay-solidified grouting curtain for waste landfills

Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ in leachate were adsorbed on clay-solidified grouting curtain for waste landfills with equilibrium experiment. The cation exchange capacity was determined with ammonium acetate. And the concentration of heavy metal cations in leachate was determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Their equilibrium isotherms were measured, and the experimental isotherm data were analyzed by using Freundlich and Langmuir models. The results show that the adsorption capacities of the heavy metal cations are closely related to the compositions of clay-solidified grouting curtain, and the maximum adsorption appears at the ratio of cement to clay of 2 ： 4 in the experimental conditions. At their maximum adsorption and pH 5.0, the adsorption capacities of Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ are 16.19 mg/g and 1.21 mg/g. The competitive adsorption coefficients indicate that the adsorption of clay-solidified grouting curtain for Pb^2＋ is stronger than that for Cd^2＋. The adsorption process conforms to Freundlich＇s model with related coefficient higher than 0. 996.     

Removal of anionic ions from single material solution by bauxite tailings modified with FeCl3·6H2O

The adsorbabilities of the unmodified and modified bauxite tailings for Cr（Ⅵ）, As（Ⅴ） and F（Ⅰ） ions were investigated. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the removal rate as a function of adsorbent dosage, solution pH value and shaking time. The results show that the maximum removal rates of Cr（Ⅵ）, As（Ⅴ） and F（Ⅰ ） are respectively 99%, 99% and 90% by using the modified bauxite tailings. The isoelectric point of the unmodified bauxite tailings is 3.6, and that of the modified bauxite tailings is 5.0, which shifts to lower pH values in Cr（Ⅵ） solution. This indicates a specific adsorption of the anionic species on the modified bauxite railings. A new band of Cr2O72 appears in the FTIR, showing that Cr（Ⅵ） is adsorbed on the modified bauxite railings in the form of chemistry adsorption. The adsorption data of Cr（Ⅵ） on the modified bauxite tailings are well described by Freundlich model. The investigations of kinetic models show that pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides the best correlation for the experimental data.

Adsorption of K+ from an aqueous phase onto an activated carbon used as an electric double-layer capacitor electrode

The adsorption capacity and absorption rate for electrolyte onto activated carbon are important parameters used to characterize activated carbon electric double-layer capacitor electrodes. In this paper the pore structure of typical commercial activated carbons, and various Mn-doped activated carbons prepared on a laboratory scale, are described. The pore structure was characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. Isotherms for K+ adsorption onto these activated carbons from the aqueous phase were also obtained. The experimental, equilibrium K+ adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich or Temkin equations. Adsorption of K+ onto the activated carbons was measured and plotted as a function of time. The adsorption kinetic data were modeled by either pseudo-first or pseudo-second order equations. The Elvoich equation, a liquid film diffusion and an intra-particle diffusion model were used to fit the kinetic data. The results indicate that the adsorption of K+ onto activated carbon is influenced by many factors including pore size distribution, specific surface area and the surface chemistry of the activated carbons. The Temkin equation best describes the equilibrium adsorption data. The pseudo-second order model exactly describes the whole adsorption process, which is controlled by both liquid film and intra-particle diffusion.     

Adsorption of NO and NH3 over CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst

The selective catalytic reduction reaction belongs to the gas-solid multiphase reaction, and the adsorption of NH₃ and NO on CuO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts plays an important role in the reaction. Performance of the CuO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts was explored in a fixed bed adsorption system. The catalysts maintain nearly 100% NO conversion efficiency at 350 °C. Comprehensive tests were carried out to study the adsorption behavior of NH₃ and NO over the catalysts. The desorption experiments prove that NH₃ and NO are adsorbed on CuO/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. The adsorption behaviors of NH₃ and NO were also studied with the in-situ diffusion reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy methods. The results show that NH₃ could be strongly adsorbed on the catalysts, resulting in coordinated NH₃ and NH₄⁺ NO adsorption leads to the formation of bridging bidentate nitrate, chelating bidentate nitrate, and chelating nitro. The interaction of NH₃ and NO molecules with the Cu²⁺ present on the CuAl₂O₄ (100) surface was investigated by using a periodic density functional theory. The results show that the adsorption of all the molecules on the Cu²⁺ site is energetically favorable, whereas NO bound is stronger than that of NH₃ with the adsorption site, and key information about the structural and energetic properties was also addressed.     

Adsorption of BSA on carbon-coated Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> microspheres activated with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride

Carbon-coated Fe₃O₄ (Fe₃O₄/C) microspheres activated with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) were prepared, characterized and applied to adsorb bovine serum albumin (BSA). The prepared magnetic microspheres had spherical core-shell structure with a uniform and continuous carbon coating coupled with activation by EDC, and possessed superparamagnetic characteristics. The experimental results showed that the adsorption amount of BSA on the EDC-activated Fe₃O₄/C (Fe₃O₄/C-EDC) microspheres was higher than that on the Fe₃O₄/C microspheres. The maximum adsorption of BSA on Fe₃O₄/C-EDC microspheres occurred at pH 4.7, which was the isoelectric point of BSA. At low concentrations (below 1.0 M), salt had no noticeable effect on BSA adsorption. The BSA adsorption of Fe₃O₄/C-EDC microspheres had a better fit to the Langmuir model than the Freundlich isotherm and Temkin isotherm model, and the kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 20 min. High desorption efficiency (97.6%) of BSA from Fe₃O₄/C-EDC microspheres was obtained with 0.5 M Na₂HPO₄ (pH 9.4) as the desorbent.
