The material, δ-MnO2, has exhibited superior performance on the removal of methylene blue (MB), but the process is significantly impacted by pH, and the impacting mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the effects of pH on the removal mechanism of MB using synthesized δ-MnO2 were investigated by distinguishing the adsorption and oxidation of MB by δ-MnO2 during the removal process in the dark. The results show that the total removal efficiency of MB by δ-MnO2 decreased significantly with an increase in the pH. MB could be removed by δ-MnO2 via an adsorption mechanism and oxidation mechanism, and the proportion of adsorptive removal and oxidative removal was different under different pH conditions. With an increase in the initial pH from 2.00 to 8.05, the redox potential of δ-MnO2 decreased, and its oxidation ability for the removal of MB also gradually decreased. In contrast, the surface negative charges of δ-MnO2 increased with an increase in the pH, and the adsorption ability towards positively charged MB also gradually increased. This indicates that the effects of pH on the removal of MB by δ-MnO2 are primarily dominated by its influence on the oxidation ability of δ-MnO2. In addition, it is further proved that the pH value has a significant effect on the oxidation and adsorption of MB on δ-MnO2. Moreover, the significant effects of pH on the oxidation of MB by δ-MnO2 are further demonstrated by observing the changes in Mn2+ and the UV-Vis spectra of intermediate products during the reaction, as well as the changes in the FTIR and XPS characterizations of δ-MnO2 after the reaction.

A chemical model of ferric phosphate precipitation was developed describing ferric hydroxy-phosphate precipitation either alone or together with ferric hydroxide. Conditions for formation of one or two precipitates are examined. The model also incorporates an additional mechanism for phosphate removal through adsorption of PO43− ions on the precipitate. Experimental verification of the proposed model was carried out in lab-scale batch and continuous activated sludge units fed with municipal primary effluent and at five pH values in the range of 6.5 to 8.0. Solubility of ferric phosphate in the activated sludge system was significantly different from that reported in the literature for distilled water systems and was pH-dependent with a minimum at pH of approx. 7.0. It is proposed that the composition of precipitating ferric hydroxy-phosphate can be represented by the empirical formula Fe2.5PO4(OH)4.5. Corresponding solubility product was estimated at pKsp=96.7. The adsorption mechanism has an important effect on total phosphate removal, especially at low residual phosphate concentrations.

In the present work, the hydrotalcite-like compound [Mg6Al2(OH)[Formula: see text]]CO[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]H2O (shorted as MgAl–CO[Formula: see text] is synthesized and the adsorption of phosphorous anions, their adsorption performance on the surface of hydrotalcites, and its mechanism are analyzed. To theoretically clarify the adsorption mechanism and adsorption structures, we perform quantum chemistry calculations of reactants, locally stable states, transition states, and products among phosphorous anion, water, and hydrotalcite in a variety of pH ranges. The experimental result shows that the efficiency of phosphate removal does not depend on pH of the solution, with which the numerical results are consistent. In particular, we identify the factors of influencing the adsorption ratio in different pH ranges from the quantum chemistry calculations: the stability of locally stable states, and the energies and locations of potential barriers along the reaction pathway relative to those of the locally stable states. The results suggest that hydrotalcites synthesized in this work are suitable as sorbent materials for the adsorption and removal of phosphorous anions from aqueous solutions.
