Stannous chloride and thiourea are used as source materials to prepare SnO2 quantum dots in the aqueous solution by a facile hydrolysis-oxidation process. The quantum dots have an average size of 1.9 nm with good dispersibility as well as long-term stability, and are validated to be an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of organic oil pollutants in contaminated water. The pollutant is removed by the quantum dots exposed to ultraviolet-visible irradiation at room temperature. The optimized condition is concluded to be a solution with quantum dot concentration of 10-3 mol/L and the degradation speed reaches the maximum at the 12 th hour after irradiation. After 48 hours, 91.9 % of octane is removed, concluding a high degradation efficiency. The prepared SnO2 quantum dots are potentially applicable in the remediation of marine environment as they hold the advantages of high efficiency, low cost and being environmental-friendly. The promotion and inhibition mechanisms of the photocatalytic SnO2 QDs at low and high concentrations are discussed.

AbstractIn this work, we reported for the first time a novel magnetic composite graphene oxide/Fe3O4/glucose-COOH (GO/Fe3O4/GC) that was facilely prepared from glucose through the hydrothermal carbonization and further combination with graphene oxide (GO). The chemical and structural properties of the samples were investigated. By the batch uranium adsorption experiments, the magnetic composite GO/Fe3O4/GC exhibits an excellent adsorption performance and fast solid–liquid separation for uranium from aqueous solution. GO/Fe3O4/GC (the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) was 390.70 mg g−1) exhibited excellent adsorption capacity and higher removal rate (> 99%) for U(VI) than those of glucose-COOH (GC) and magnetic GC (MGC). The effect of the coexisting ions, such as Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+, on the U(VI) removal efficiency of GO/Fe3O4/GC was examined. The equilibrium sorption and sorption rate for the as-prepared adsorbents well fit the Langmuir model and pseudo second-order kinetic model, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0 = 11.57 kJ mol−1 and ΔG0 < 0) for GO/Fe3O4/GC indicate that the sorption process of U(VI) was exothermic and spontaneous. Thus, this research provides a facile strategy for the preparation of the magnetic composite with low cost, high efficiency and fast separation for the U(VI) removal from aqueous solution.

The removal of Pb(II) ions is an important issue for the treatment of industrial wastewater, due to its serious consequences on environment and human health. In this study a local clay material was tested as adsorbent for the retention of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The proposed method can be considered low-cost, mainly due to the high availability of clay material in this region, and the high removal percent of Pb(II) ions (> 99%) allows us to say that this method has a high efficiency. Therefore, the finding of the optimal values of the most important experimental parameters which affects the efficiency of Pb(II) ions adsorption on clay adsorbent, represent the next important step in highlighting the practical applicability of this process. The most important experimental parameters, including initial solution pH,adsorbent dose, initial Pb(II) ions concentration, contact time and temperature, were analyzed in batch systems. The obtained experimental results indicates that the efficiency of adsorptionprocess is highest at initial solution pH of 7.0, 4.0 g adsorbent/L, 5 min of contact time and high temperature (50 C). Under these conditions, the removal percent of Pb(II) ions is over 99 % over the initial concentration range between 20 and 310 mg Pb(II)/L. The results of this study suggest that this clay material is an excellent adsorbent for Pb(II) ions removal and broadens the potential applicability of these materials in environmental remediation.

An adsorbent, volcanic rocks coated with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, was prepared and utilized for the removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions from an aqueous solution. Characterization of the coated volcanic rocks indicated that the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were successfully and homogeneously distributed on the volcanic rocks, including penetration into rock pores. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate adsorption performance. The adsorption behavior of both ions was found to best fit a pseudo second-order model and Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions were 58.14 mg g−1 and 56.50 mg g−1 at 293 K, respectively, and increased with rising temperature. The loaded α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto volcanic rock significantly increased removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions. The adsorption process was combined control of film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion. Adsorption thermodynamics indicated the adsorption process was spontaneous and occurred mainly through chemisorption. The results confirmed that the volcanic rocks coated with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles acted as a high-efficiency and low-cost absorbent, and effectively removed Cu(II) and Ni(II) from wastewater.
