Mechanically activated starch magnetic microspheres for Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption from aqueous solution

Magnetic starch microspheres(AAM-MSM) were synthesized via an inverse emulsion graft copolymerization by using mechanically activated cassava starch(MS) as a crude material, acrylic acid(AA) and acrylamide(AM) as graft copolymer monomers, and methyl methacrylate(MMA) as the dispersing agent and used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM) were used to characterize the AAM-MSM adsorbent. The results indicated that AA, AM, and MMA were grafted to the MS, and the Fe_3 O_4 nanoparticles were encapsulated in the AAM-MSM adsorbent microspheres.The adsorbent exhibited a smooth surface, uniform size, and good sphericity because of the addition of the MMA and provided more adsorption sites for the Cd(II) ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cd(II) on the AAM-MSM was 39.98 mg·g~(-1). The adsorbents were superparamagnetic, and the saturation magnetization was 16.7 A·m~2·kg~(-1). Additionally, the adsorption isotherms and kinetics of the adsorption process were further investigated. The process of Cd(II) ions adsorbed onto the AAM-MSM could be described more favorably by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isothermal adsorption models, which suggested that the chemical reaction process dominated the adsorption process for the Cd(II) and chemisorption was the rate-controlling step during the Cd(II) removal process.     

Nickel(Ⅱ) removal from water using silica-based hybrid adsorbents:Fabrication and adsorption kinetics

A series of novel silica-based hybrid adsorbents were prepared by the crosslinking reaction of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] ethylene diamine(TMSPEDA) with epichlorohydrin(ECH) via a sol–gel process.Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra confirmed that the reaction occurred.TGA curves showed that the thermal stability of these hybrid adsorbents reached as high as 180 °C.As a typical example,the adsorption performance of nickel(II) ions onto an adsorbent(the volume ratio of TMSPEDA and ECH was 4:1) was explored.It was found that the adsorption of nickel(II) ions onto this adsorbent followed the Lagergren pseudo-second-order kinetic model.The investigation of the adsorption mechanism demonstrated that nickel(II) adsorption was chiefly controlled by diffusion–chemisorption,suggesting that more diffusion processes were involved in the adsorption of nickel(II) ions onto this type of adsorbents.Desorption experiment indicates that these hybrid adsorbents can be regenerated.These findings reveal that this type of silica-based hybrid adsorbent is promising in the separation and recovery of nickel(II) ions from Ni-containing wastewater or contaminated water.     

Biosorption Equilibrium and Kinetics of Au（Ⅲ） and Cu（Ⅱ） on Magnetotactic Bacteria

Magnetotactic bacteria （MTB） as biosorbents for the adsorption of Au（Ⅲ） and Cu（Ⅱ） ions from aqueous solution have been investigated. The optimum adsorption conditions for both metal ions were the initial pH scope of 1-5.5 for Au（Ⅲ） and 2.0-4.5 for Cu（Ⅱ）, room temperature, biomass concentration of 10.0g.L^-1 and sorotion du-ration more than 10 min. When the initial metal concentration were within 500mg.L^-1, the maximum biosorption capacity of 1.0g of MTB （dry mass basis） for Au（Ⅲ） and Cu（Ⅱ） were calculated as 505.2mg of Au（Ⅲ） and 493.1mg of.Cu（Ⅱ） by Langmuir model in single system, respectively. The isotherm equilibrium of Au（Ⅲ） and Cu（Ⅱ） ions in the Au-Cu binary system reflected a unique phenomenon that the adsorption of Au（Ⅲ） was rein-forced and that of Cu（Ⅱ） prohibited, compared respectively-with their performances in the single metal system.When the,concentration of-Au（Ⅲ） and Cu（Ⅱ）. were below 80mg.L^-1, the waste waterafter MTB treating, wasbelow 1.0mg.L^-1, which is in conformity with Environmental Performance Standards （EPS） of Canada. Besides, all the kinetic data were fitted well to the pseudo second-order kinetic model with a high correlation coefficient （R^2〉0.999）.     

Characteristics of Amine Surfactant Modified Peanut Shell and Its Sorption Property for Cr（VI）

Modified peanut shell （MPS） was prepared by amination reaction with peanut shell （PS） as the starting material The sorption of Cr（VI） oxyanions on MPS in static and column tests were investigated. In addition, the sorption isotherm and kinetic models were applied to confirm the sorption capacity and the sorption mechanisms. BET surface area anysis showed the physicochemical characterist!cs of the samples. The results of zeta potential,Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） and Raman spectra analysis illustrated that chemical adsorption and ion exi change are the potential sorption mechanism. The static sorption test showed that the maximum sorption capacity （qm） of MPS for Cr（VI） increased with temperature, which indicated that the Cr（VI） sorption rocess was endothermic. The saturated sorption capacity of Cr（VI） in the colunm sorption test was 138.34 mg.g-1, which accounted for 93.9% of the qmax at 25 ℃. The regeneration capacity of MPS was evaluated using HC1 solution as an eluent. The high regeneration efficiency （82.6%） validated the dominance of the ion exchange mechanism in the Cr（VI） sorption process with C1ions displacing Cr（VI） oxyanion on MPS. The Langmuir isotherm model showed a higher correlation coefficient than the other adsorption isotherm models. And in the kinetic study, a pseudo-second-order model fit the data best.

In this work, the feasibility of using a macroporous strong acid ion exchange resin (D72) as an adsorbent for praseodymium (Ⅲ) was examined. The adsorption behavior and mechanism were investigated with various chemical methods and IR spectrometry. The results showed that the loading of Pr (III) ions was strongly dependent on pH of the medium and the optimal adsorption condition is in HAc-NaAc medium with pH value of 3.0. Adsorption kinetics of Pr (III) ions onto D72 resin could be best described by pseudo-second-order model.

The calculated data of thermodynamic parameters, ΔSΘ value of 100 J·mol 1 ·K 1 and ΔHΘ value of 8.89 kJ·mol 1 , indicate the endothermic nature of the adsorption process, while a decrease of ΔGΘ with increasing temperature indicates the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. Finally, Pr (Ⅲ) can be eluted by using 1.00 mol·L 1 HCl-0.50 mol·L 1 NaCl solution and the D72 resin can be regenerated and reused. Thomas model was successfully applied to experimental data to predict the breakthrough curves and to determine the characteristic parameters of the column useful for process design. The characterization before and after adsorption of Pr (Ⅲ) ions on D72 resin was conformed by IR.

The sorbents show good efficiency for the removal of Cd(II) in the presence of different multivalent cations and have good regeneration effect. For the modified samples, removal experiments take place via ion exchange and complexation processes.
