The nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has great potential to degrade organic polluted wastewater. In this study, the nZVI particles were obtained by the pulse electrodeposition and were loaded on the biomass activated carbon (BC) for synthesizing the composite material of BC-nZVI. The composite material was characterized by SEM-EDS and XRD and was also used for the decolorization of methyl orange (MO) test. The results showed that the 97.94% removal percentage demonstrated its promise in the remediation of dye wastewater for 60 min. The rate of MO matched well with the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate-limiting step may be a chemical sorption between the MO and BC-nZVI. The removal percentage of MO can be effectively improved with higher temperature, larger BC-nZVI dosage, and lower initial concentration of MO at the pH of 7 condition.

Abstract The application of activated carbon fiber supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (ACF-nZVI) in the continuous removal of Cr(VI) and methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution was studied in depth. The breakthrough curves of Cr(VI) in a fixed bed with ACF-nZVI were measured, and compared with those in the fixed bed with ACF. The catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) process for MO was also carried out using ACF-nZVI after reacting with Cr(VI) in the same fixed bed. The results showed that the breakthrough time of ACF-nZVI was significantly longer than that of ACF. Higher pH values were unfavorable for the Cr(VI) removal. The breakthrough time increased with decreasing inlet Cr(VI) concentration or increasing bed height. The Yoon–Nelson and bed depth service time (BDST) models were found to show good agreement with the experimental data. The Cr(VI) removal capacity when using ACF-nZVI was two times higher than that when using ACF. Under the optimal empty bed contact time of 1.256 min, the fixed bed displayed high MO conversion (99.2%) and chemical oxygen demand removal ratio (55.7%) with low Fe leaching concentration (<5 mg/L) after continuous running for 240 min. After three cycles, the conversion of MO remained largely unchanged.

Different kinds of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers were fabricated by calcination method under the condition of 115-600 °C. And the density, moisture rate and mechanical properties of composites of gypsum and whisker were studied. The specific strength of composites was investigated. The results show that gypsum boards with whisker calcined at 115 °C and 300 °C have the maximum and minimum densities, which are about 1658 kg/m3 and 1604 kg/m3, respectively. Hydration ability of anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker is the strongest. The values of specific strength of gypsum board reinforced by different types of whiskers suggested that the porosity of the composites changed with the different kinds of whiskers, which agreed well with the moisture rate and mechanical properties.

Taking leaching tailings of the nickel ore as raw material, calcium sulfate whiskers were prepared. The effects of Mg/Ca mole ratio, concentration of sulfuric acid, reaction temperature and precipitating time on the recovery of calcium were studied in this paper. The preparation method and reaction conditions of fibrous calcium sulfate whisker have been optimized by an orthogonal experiment, in order to obtain a high grade whisker product which could meet industrial requirements on whiteness and size.

Abstract Calcium sulfate whisker (CSW) is a kind of fiber crystal material with high orientation structure. The major goal of this research is to study the changes of mechanical properties and light transmittance of PE greenhouse film with different proportions of CSW. The experimental results show that the mechanical properties and light transmittance of PE/CSW films are enhanced compared with the pure PE. For PE/2%CSW, it shows a 18.6% increase in tear strength, a 3.1% increase in luminous transmittance and 17.7% increase in haze. The PE/5%CSW demonstrates a 12.8% higher in tensile strength, a 20.5% higher in tear strength, a 23.9% lower in luminous transmittance and a 53.0% higher in haze. This article gives a new formula to strengthen the mechanical properties of PE greenhouse films and finds the direction for the research and development of astigmatic covering film.

The styrene-acrylic emulsions were prepared by copolymerization of styrene, acrylic acid and n-butyl acrylate; coatings were achieved by adding calcium sulfate whiskers and titanium dioxides at the presence of dispersing agents and rheological additives. The physical and mechanical properties as well as contact angles of coating films formed on tinplate were characterized in detail. The pencil hardness was slightly decreased; the contact angle was greatly decreased from 69.8o to 12oby adding the calcium sulfate to indicate the hydrophilic coating films may have self-cleaning properties.
