The adsorption properties of a novel macroporous weak acid resin (D152) for Pb²⁺ were investigated with chemical methods. The optimal adsorption condition of D152 resin for Pb²⁺ is at pH 6.00 in HAc-NaAc medium. The statically saturated adsorption capacity is 527 mg/g at 298 K. Pb²⁺ adsorbed on D152 resin can be eluted with 0.05 mol/L HCl quantitatively. The adsorption rate constants determined under various temperatures are k _{288 K}=2.22×10⁻⁵ s^t-1, k _{298 K}=2.51×10⁻⁵ s⁻¹, and k _{308 K}= 2.95×10⁻⁵ s⁻¹, respectively. The apparent activation energy, E _a is 10.5 kJ/mol, and the adsorption parameters of thermodynamics are ΔH ^Θ=13.3 kJ/mol, ΔS ^Θ=119 J/(mol·K), and ΔG ^Θ 298 K =−22.2 kJ/mol, respectively.

Effects of different conditions on Pb2+ adsorption from soil by irrigation of sewage in South China

Pb²⁺ adsorption onto a soil by irrigation of sewage in the Pearl River Delta of South China was examined as a function of the reaction time, solution pH, initial lead concentration, organic matter (humic acid) and competitive ions (Cu²⁺). The adsorption of Pb²⁺ onto the soil was investigated on batch equilibrium adsorption experiments. Results show that the Pb²⁺ adsorption on the soil is relatively rapid in the first 30 min and reaches equilibrium at 2 h, and the kinetics of the adsorption process on the soil is well characterized by the pseudo-second order reaction rate. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isothermal models are fit for the adsorption of Pb²⁺ onto the soil, and the maximum amount of Pb²⁺ adsorption (Q _m) is 7.47 mg/g. The amount of Pb²⁺ adsorption increases with increasing the pH at the range of 1.2–4.5 and reaches a plateau at the range of 4.5–12. The presence of humic acid in soil decreases the adsorption of Pb²⁺ onto the soil at solution pH of 8 since the negatively charged humic acid with Pb²⁺ is difficult to be adsorbed on the negatively charged soil surface. The adsorption of Pb²⁺ onto the soil also decreases in the presence of Cu²⁺ due to the competition adsorption between Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺.

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.

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.     

Template synthesis and adsorption properties of chitosan salicylal Schiff bases

To improve the adsorption properties of chemically modified chitosan, the chelating resin of salicylal chitosan Schiff bases was prepared by the template cross-linking method using Cu(Ⅱ) as template ion and ethylene glycol bisglycidyl ether as cross-linking agent in microwave, and was characterized by IR. The adsorption capacity and selectivity coefficient of the chemically modified chitosan for Cu(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ) and Zn(Ⅱ) were investigated, respectively. The results show that the adsorption capacity of the resin 2.73 mmol/g for Cu(Ⅱ) is bigger than that for other two metal ions, 0.22 mmol/g for Fe(Ⅲ), and 0.42 mmol/g for Zn(Ⅱ), and the selectivity coefficients are as follows: KCu(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ)=12.4, KCu(Ⅱ)/Zn(Ⅱ)=6.5.     

Thermochemical studies of the toxic action of heavy metal ions on<Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> by microcalorimetry

By using an LKB2277, BioActivity Monitor (heat conduction microcalorimeter), stopped-flow method, the thermogenetic curves of Escherichia coli growth at 37°C inhibited by four kinds of heavy metal ions are determined, and parameters such as growth rate constants, inhibitory ratio, half-inhibitory concentration etc. were obtained. The experimental results show that heavy metal ions can inhibit Escherichia coli growth obviously, but low concentration of Cu²⁺ has a promoting action. The half inhibitory concentrations of Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Cu²⁺ are 28.3, 10.9, 3.19 and 69.6 μg. mL⁻¹, respectively. Judged from the rate constant, the half-inhibitory concentration and the molecular mass, the inhibitory sequence is Hg²⁺>Cd²⁺>Zn²⁺>Cu²⁺. This microclorimetric bioassay for acute cellular toxicity is based on metabolic heat evolution from cultured cells. The assay is quantitative, inexpensive, and versatile; moreover, toxicological information can be obtained with cell from other species of interest.

The results from these study show that the magnetic treatment significaatly enhance the fraction of adsorption of Cu^2 ,the adsorption of Cu^2 by kaolinite increases with the increase of pH value from 2 to 6.

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.     

Competitive adsorption of heavy metal ions on peat

The uptake capacities, and the adsorption kinetics, of copper, Cu(Ⅱ), nickel, Ni(Ⅱ), and cadmium, Cd(Ⅱ), on peat have been studied under static conditions. The results show that the adsorption rates are rapid: equilibrium is reached in twenty minutes. The adsorption of copper, nickel and cadmium is pH dependent over the pH range from 2 to 6. The adsorption kinetics can be excellently described by the Elovich kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherm fits a Langmuir model very well. The adsorption capacifies follow the order Cu2 ＞Ni2 ＞Cd2 in single-component systems and the competitive adsorption capacities fall in the decreasing order Cu2 ＞ Ni2 ＞Cd2 in multi-component systems. The adsorption capacities of these three heavy metal ions on peat are consistent with their observed competitive adsorption capacities.     

Simultaneous electrogenerative leaching of chaicopyrite concentrate and MnO2

The results show that Cu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ in addition to electrical energy could be acquired in the simultaneous electrogenerative leaching process. The leaching cell has the open circuit potential of about 1.0 V and gains quantity of electricity of about 700 C. The optimum leaching rates of Cu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ are 23.10% and 22.1%, respectively after electrogenera- tive leaching for about 10 h under the present conditions.     

The Effect of Bi2O3 on the Structure and Microwave Dielectric Properties of Ba6-3xNd8＋2xTi18O54 System（x=2/3）

The structures and dielectric properties of Ba6-3xNd8＋2xTi18O54 system（x=2/3） doped with different contents of Bi2O3, whose final molecular formula is Ba6-3x（Nd1-yBiy）8＋2xTi18O54 were investigated. It is indicated that the dielectric constant increases greatly whereas Q value（f0=4 GHz） decreases with the increase of Bi2O3 content. However, the temperature coefficient could be controlled below 0±30×10^-6/℃ in the experiment. These phenomena are related to the appearance of a new phase, Bi4Ti3O12, which has high dielectric constant. Also, that Bi^3＋（0.13 nm） substitutes for Nd^3＋（0.099 5 nm） will increase the unit cell volume, which will lead to the enlargement of the octahedron B site occupied by Ti^4＋. So the spontaneous polarization of Ti^4＋ ions will be strengthened. Besides, Bi^3＋ will fill up some vacancies which Ba^2＋ or Nd^3＋ ions leave in two A1 sites and four A2 sites. More positive ions polarize, which also contributes to higher dielectric constant. The samples got with the optimium properties are sintered at 1 200 ℃ for 4 h, when y=0.25, ε≈110, Q≈5 400（f0=4 GHz）, TCC=-4.7×10^-6/℃; When y=0.3, ε≈120, Q≈5 000（f0=4 GHz）, TCC=-24×10^-6/℃.     

Bioleaching of chalcocite by mixed microorganisms subjected to mutation

Mixed microorganisms with elevated activity of chalcocite-leaching were screened by mutation methods. The original microorganisms collected from acid mine drainage of different sites were mixed and then treated with mutagens NO₂⁻, diethyl sulfate (DES), UV and their combinations, respectively. Five groups of mixed microorganisms with much stronger ore-leaching ability were obtained by screening on the leaching media. Among them, group E of mixed microorganisms (treated with 1% DES for 60 min) with the best performance on chalcocite-leaching, increases the content of Cu²⁺ by 101.4% in 20 d of leaching compared with the control culture. In addition, group E is more tolerant to Cu²⁺ in media than the control without mutation treatment. Analysis for the diversity of microbial clones indicates that half of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in group E are Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. These observations suggest that group E might have potentials for industrial application.

Effect of rhamnolipids on cadmium adsorption by Penicillium simplicissimum

The effect of rhamnolipids (RL) on Cd²⁺ adsorption by Penicillium simplicissimum (P. simplicissimum) was studied. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cd²⁺ were obtained at pH 6.0 for the intact P. simplicissimum and at pH 5.0 for the RL-pretreated P. simplicissimum, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium was reached after about 4 h. The experimental adsorption isotherms were in good agreement with the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities (q _max) for the intact P. simplicissimum and for the RL-pretreated P. simplicissimum were 51.6 and 70.4 mg/g, respectively. The interactions between Cd²⁺ and functional groups on the cell wall surface of the P. simplicissimum were identified by SEM, EDAX and FTIR analysis. It is indicated that carboxyl, amino and hydroxyl groups play major roles in the Cd²⁺ adsorption. The results suggest that the RL-pretreated P. simplicissimum is a promising candidate for the removal of Cd ²⁺ from aqueous solutions.
