采用浓硫酸固相反应法对粉煤灰进行改性用于含磷废水的净化,考察了pH值,吸附剂用量,磷初始浓度,反应时间对净化过程的影响。通过实验发现溶液pH值在4-10范围内对磷的吸附过程影响不显著,改性粉煤灰可以在较宽的pH值范围内进行脱磷处理;随着粉煤灰加入量的增加和初始溶液中磷酸根浓度的降低,磷的净化率逐渐增加。对于含磷50 mg/L的溶液,当粉煤灰的投加量为1.5%时,磷的吸附效率可达99.66%,净化后水中含磷量为0.17 mg/L。改性粉煤灰对水中磷的净化过程速度较快,5 min可达到最大净化率。改性粉煤灰对磷的吸附等温线符合Freudlich方程。     

粉煤灰合成沸石除磷机理研究

利用粉煤灰合成沸石，考察了其对模拟废水中磷酸盐的去除效果，并着重研究了其除磷机理。结果表明，粉煤灰合成沸石有优良的除磷效果，其磷酸吸收系数几乎是原料粉煤灰的4倍，比原料粉煤灰有更高的吸附磷的潜力。粉煤灰合成沸石对磷酸盐的去除机理包括化学沉淀作用和吸附作用，且吸附作用随着平衡溶液的pH值的增大而减弱。粉煤灰合成沸石中沸石成分的骨架结构没有磷吸附作用，粉煤灰只能通过化学沉淀作用去除磷酸盐，粉煤灰合成沸石对磷的吸附作用主要来源于粉煤灰合成沸石过程中产生的无定型非晶体的中间体物质。     

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.

Synthesis and adsorption performance of fly ash/steel slag-based geopolymer for removal of Cu (II) and methylene blue

In order to realize the value-added resource utilization of solid waste, geopolymer particle adsorbents were prepared at low temperatures using silica-aluminum-rich fly ash and steel slag powders as raw materials. In order to investigate the mechanism of their adsorption of dyes and heavy metal ions from wastewater, the effects of steel slag/fly ash ratio, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of methylene blue (MB) and Cu²⁺ solution, adsorption time and temperature on the adsorption performance of the fly ash/steel slag-based geopolymer adsorbents were investigated, systematically. Results presented that the adsorption capacities of MB and Cu²⁺ were 33.30 and 24.15 mg/g, and the removal efficiencies were 99.90% and 96.59% with the dosages of 3 and 4 g/L geopolymer adsorbents (steel slag/fly ash ratio of 20 wt.%), respectively. The adsorption processes of MB and Cu²⁺ on the adsorbents were in accordance with the proposed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, which mainly included physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms. The adsorption was a spontaneous endothermic process. The fly ash/steel slag-based geopolymer had good removal ability for dyes and heavy metal ions, and it could maintain good adsorption performance after three cycles of regeneration. It had potential application in wastewater treatment.

Evaluation of SO2 oxidation and fly ash filtration by an activated carbon fluidized-bed reactor: The effects of acid modification, copper addition and operating condition

It is expected that the simultaneous removal of acid gases and particles from flue gas, using a single process and at the same temperature, will become an economical, and thus, desirable option. Accordingly, this study investigates the potential for the utilization of a fluidized-bed adsorbent/catalyst reactor for the simultaneous removal of SO₂ and fly ash from simulated flue gas. The operating conditions for the evaluation include: (1) different pre-treatments of the adsorbent/catalyst, (2) the operating parameters of adsorption/filtration and (3) the effects of simultaneous adsorption/filtration through the fluidized-bed reactor. Based on the experimental data gathered, the Brönsted acid sites were formed on the surface of activated carbon (AC) support materials after modification with nitric or sulfuric acid and it acted as anchor. This characteristic accounts for the promotion of the effects of dispersion and adsorption of the adsorbent/catalyst. Moreover, the addition of copper facilitated the oxygen transfer of SO₂ to the carbon matrix. The concentration of SO₂ removed by the fluidized-bed adsorbent/catalyst reactor decreased from 17.9 to 14.2 mg SO₂/g of adsorbent after exposure to a high concentration of fly ash. Therefore, an acid-pre-treatment of the adsorbent/catalyst is required to hasten the removal of SO₂ in the simulated flue gas. Our result shows that the acidic groups may facilitate the adsorbent/catalyst removal of SO₂ when there exist high concentrations of fly ash in the flue gas.

Phosphate removal in marine electrolytes by zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of seawater electrolytes on removal of phosphate by zeolite synthesized from fly ash (ZFA). A low-calcium ZFA was initially saturated with Na⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Al³⁺, and Fe³⁺. Al- and Fe-ZFA showed nearly complete removal of phosphate regardless of the major seawater electrolytes, pH, and salinity. This result was explained primarily on the basis of the adsorption mechanism through the formation of inner-sphere complexes. The remaining ZFAs showed lower phosphate removal performance, in general with the order of Ca-ZFA > Mg-ZFA > Na-ZFA. Compared with pure water, increase of electrolyte concentration or salinity initially enhanced phosphate uptake but then reduced phosphate removal. The individual presence of major seawater electrolytes all facilitated the retention of phosphate, with CaCl₂ being the most effective. The mechanism for phosphate removal by Na-, Mg-, and Ca-ZFA was due mostly to precipitation. Repeated batch equilibration experiments indicated that, compared with pure water, ZFA had greater sorptive capacity for phosphate (except for Ca-ZFA, whose capacity decreased slightly) and had lower reversibility for sorbed phosphate in marine electrolytes. In conclusion, our results suggest that presence of seawater electrolytes had roughly no effect, or even positive effects, on the removal of phosphate by ZFA.     

Removal of Boron from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption Using Fly Ash,Zeolite, and Demineralized Lignite

In the present study for the purpose of removal of boron from water by adsorption using adsorbents like fly ash, natural zeolite, and demineralized lignite was investigated. Boron in water was removed with fly ash, zeolite, and demineralized lignite with different capacities. Ninety-four percent boron was removed using fly ash. Batch experiments were conducted to test the removal capacity, to obtain adsorption isotherms, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Boron removal by all adsorbents was affected by pH of solution; maximum adsorption was achieved at pH 10. Adsorption of boron on fly ash was investigated by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and the Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Standard entropy and enthalpy changes of adsorption of boron on fly ash were, ΔS ⁰  = ?0.69 kJ/mol K and ΔH ⁰  = ?215.34 kJ/mol, respectively. The negative value of ΔS ⁰ indicated decreased randomness at the solid/solution interface during the adsorption boron on the fly ash sample. Negative values of ΔH ⁰ showed the exothermic nature of the process. The negative values of ΔG ⁰ implied that the adsorption of boron on fly ash samples was spontaneous. Adsorption of boron on fly ash occurred with a pseudo-second order kinetic model, and intraparticle diffusion of boron species had also some effect in adsorption kinetics.

Development of fly ash and iron ore tailing based porous geopolymer for removal of Cu(II) from wastewater

This work aims to verify the feasibility of utilizing iron ore tailing (IOT) in porous geopolymer and intends to broaden the application of porous geopolymer in heavy metal removal aspect. Porous geopolymer was prepared using fly ash as resource material, which was partially replaced by IOT at level of 30%, by weight, with H₂O₂ as foaming agent and removal efficiency, adsorption affecting factors, adsorption isotherms and thermodynamics of Cu²⁺ by the developed porous geopolymer were investigated.The experimental results uncover that the porous amorphous geopolymer was successful synthesized with total porosity of 74.6%. The transformation of fly ash and IOT into foaming geopolymer leads to the formation of porous structure encouraging Cu²⁺ sorption. Batch sorption tests were carried out and geopolymer dosage, Cu²⁺ initial concentration, pH, contact time and temperature were the main concern. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models could explain the adsorption of Cu²⁺ on the porous geopolymer due to the high fitting coefficients. The uptake capacity reaches the highest value of 113.41 mg/g at 40 °C with pH value of 6.0. The thermodynamic parameters ΔHº, ΔSº and ΔGº suggests the spontaneous nature of Cu²⁺ adsorption on porous geopolymer and the endothermic behavior of sorption process.     

改性粉煤灰吸附处理铜冶炼工业废水中Zn~(2+)的研究

研究了粉煤灰改性的工艺条件和静态处理铜冶炼工业废水中Zn2+的效果。试验结果表明:硫酸质量浓度为2mol/L,粉煤灰与硫酸用量比为1︰3.04,在95℃下振荡(振荡频率为170r/min)反应2h时,制得的改性粉煤灰吸附效果最好。在未调节该废水pH值条件下,当改性粉煤灰用量为0.007g/mL,吸附时间为65min,吸附温度为25℃时,Zn2+的去除率为93.17%。处理后的水中Zn2+残留浓度达到了国家污水综合排放标准(GB8978-1996)一级标准。吸附过程符合Freundlich吸附等温式:lgQe=0.4511+5.3584lgCe,热力学参数为:△H=-1.7892J/mol,△S=0.5254J/(K·mol),△G=-162.661J/mol。在相同条件下,未改性粉煤灰对Zn2+的去除率为82.99%,通过硫酸改性使粉煤灰的吸附性能得到较大提高。     

球磨时间对机械化学法NaBr改性飞灰脱汞性能的影响

采用全方位行星式球磨机对燃煤飞灰进行机械化学改性。在固定床反应装置上探究了球磨时间对改性飞灰脱汞性能的影响,并对飞灰改性前后的理化特性和脱汞机理进行了分析。结果表明,在单一机械球磨改性条件下,飞灰的脱汞效率随着球磨时间的增加出现先升高后降低的趋势。这是由于球磨过程中飞灰粒径变小,非晶相程度增加,Hg⁰与飞灰样品接触面积增加,有利于Hg⁰的脱除;但过长的球磨时间会造成飞灰孔隙结构的破坏并发生细微颗粒的团聚,使比表面积降低,不利于Hg⁰的脱除。机械球磨条件下添加改性剂NaBr后,飞灰的脱汞效率显著提升,并随着球磨时间的增加而单调增加,这是由于在机械球磨与NaBr的共同作用下,在飞灰表面产生了较多的羰基、羧基/酯基等活性官能团,同时生成C-Br共价基团,促进Hg⁰的吸附脱除。原始飞灰和单一机械化学改性飞灰对Hg⁰的脱除主要以吸附为主,氧化作用占比较少,约为吸附作用的1/3。机械化学NaBr改性飞灰对Hg⁰的吸附能力和氧化能力均显著提升,且吸附作用和氧化作用占比相当。     

Low cost adsorbents obtained from ash for copper removal

We investigated the utilization of ash and modified ash as a low-cost adsorbent to remove copper ions from aqueous solutions such as wastewater. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the factors affecting adsorption of copper. The influence of pH, adsorbent dose, initial Cu²⁺ concentration, type of adsorbent and contact time on the adsorption capacity of Cu²⁺ from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption technique using ash and modified ash as a low-cost adsorbent were investigated. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 5. The results from the sorption process showed that the maximum adsorption rate was obtained at 300 mg/L when a different dosage of fly ash was added into the solution, and it can be concluded that decreasing the initial concentration of copper ion is beneficial to the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. With the increase of pH value, the removal rate increased. When the pH was 5, the removal rate reached the maximum of over 99%. When initial copper content was 300 mg/L and the pH value was 5, the adsorption capacity of the zeolite Z 4 sample reached 27.904 mg/g. The main removal mechanisms were assumed to be the adsorption at the surface of the fly ash together with the precipitation from the solution. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved at pH 5 between 1 and 4 hours in function of type of adsorbent. A dose of 1: 25 g/mL of adsorbent was sufficient for the optimum removal of copper ions. For all synthesized adsorbents the predominant mechanism can be described by pseudo-second order kinetics.     

Removal of victoria blue from aqueous solution by fly ash

The use of fly ash for the removal of victoria blue (C126, 44045) from aqueous solution at different concentrations and pH has been investigated. The process follows first order adsorption rate expression and the rate constant was found to be 1.70 × 10^?2 min^?1 at a victoria blue concentration of 1.0 × 10^?4 M and 25°C. The uptake of victoria blue by fly ash is diffusion controlled and the value of mass transfer coefficient is 1.25 × 10^?5 cm sec^?1. The equilibrium data fit well in the Langmuir model of adsorption. Maximum removal was noted at pH 8.0. Low desorption of dye from adsorbent surface indicates that the process may not be essentially a reversible one.     

Conversion of coal fly ash into zeolite and heavy metal removal characteristics of the products

Fly ash obtained from a power generation plant was used for synthesizing zeolite. Zeolites could be readily synthesized from the glassy combustion residues and showed potential for the removal of heavy metal ions. By the use of different temperatures and NaOH concentration, five different zeolites were obtained: Na-P1, faujasite, hydroxy sodalite, analcime, and cancrinite. The synthesized zeolites had greater adsorption capabilities for heavy metals than the original fly ash and natural zeolites. Na-P1 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity with a maximum value of about 1.29 mmole Pb g^-1 and had a strong affinity for Pb²⁺ ion. The metal ion selectivity of Na-P1 was determined as: Pb²⁺> Cu²⁺> Cd²⁺> Zn²⁺, consistent with the decreasing order of the radius of hydrated metal ion. The adsorption isotherm for lead by Na-P1 fitted the Freundlich rather than the Langmuir isotherm.     

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 heavy metal ions from aqueous solution by fly ash

The removal characteristics of lead and copper ions from aqueous solution by fly ash were investigated under various conditions of contact time, pH and temperature. The influence of pH of the metal ion solutions on the uptake levels of the metal ions by fly ash were carried out between pH 4 and 12. The level of uptake of Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions by the fly ash generally increased, but not in a progressive manner, at higher pH values. The effect of temperature on the uptake of Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions was investigated between 30 °C and 60 °C, the adsorption of being enhanced at the lowest temperature. Rate constants were evaluated in terms of a first-order kinetics. The rate constant, k for uptake of Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions were 1.77 × 10⁻² s⁻¹ and 2.11 × 10⁻² s⁻¹, respectively. The experimental results underline the potential of coal fly ash for the recovery of metal ions from waste water. The main mechanisms involved in the removal of heavy metal ions from solution were adsorption at the surface of the fly ash and precipitation.
