Abstract SBA15 supported transition metal phosphides Ni2P/SBA15 and WP/SBA15 have been identified as promising adsorbents especially for removing neutral nitrogen-containing compounds. Adsorption of model nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds as well as light cycled oil (LCO) was performed and applied for the evaluation of kinetics and isotherms. The pseudo second-order kinetic model was well fitted to both nitrogen and sulfur adsorption data. Molecular size of the adsorbates plays an important role in the adsorption. Despite of higher initial adsorption rates, the adsorption capacities for carbazole and DBT were lower than those for indole and quinoline due to their larger molecular size. Monolayer adsorption was observed for quinoline due to the acid-base interaction between the basic nitrogen adsorbate and the weak acidic support. The Freundlich model was suitable in describing the adsorption of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds from LCO. Cooperative adsorption took place when replacing the model compound DBT by the sulfur-containing compounds in LCO.

Abstract The phenol removal through adsorption using industrial waste has been studied. The red mud generated as waste in the aluminum plants was used in this research. The surface characterizations of red mud were assessed. The batch experiment was investigated with pH (2–12), adsorption period (120–600 min), phenol content (40–200 mg/L), adsorbent dose (2–7 g/L), and temperature (30–50 °C). At the optimum operating condition, the percentage of phenol removal was 87.5%. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model (r2 = 0.98625–0.99994) fitted better than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Freundlich isotherm model was best fitted (r2 = 0.99734–0.99955) among Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R), and Temkin isotherms. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was 49.30966 mg/g at 30 °C. The adsorption mechanisms were supported by Reichenberg, Fick, Elovich, Furusawa, and Smith and Boyd models (r2 > 0.8). The thermodynamics suggested endothermic, random, and spontaneous adsorption above 50 °C. The scale-up design using the Langmuir isotherm, and the disposal of used adsorbent after incineration, was established in this study. The research concludes that the red mud generated from the aluminum plant can be used to remove the phenol from wastewater.

In the present work, sugar beet pulp, a common waste from the sugar refining industry, was studied in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. The ability of this cheap biopolymer to sorb several metals namely Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions was investigated. The metal fixation capacities of the sorbent were determined according to operating conditions and the fixation mechanisms were identified. The biopolymer has shown high elimination rates and interesting metal fixation capacities. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was tested to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated and discussed. For 8 × 10-4 M initial metal concentration, the initial sorption rates (v0) ranged from 0.063 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Pb2+ to 0.275 mmol.g-1.min-1 for Ni2+ ions, with the order: Ni2+ > Cd2+ > Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model and showed the following affinity order of the material: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. Then, the kinetic and equilibrium parameters calculated qm and v0 were tentatively correlated to the properties of the metals. Finally, equilibrium experiments in multimetallic systems were performed to study the competition of the fixation of Pb2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ cations. In all cases, the metal fixation onto the biopolymer was found to be favourable in multicomponent systems. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that this biosorbent represents a low-cost solution for the treatment of metal-polluted wastewaters.

AbstractThe paper presents the results of investigation of changes in the composition of hydrocarbons and sulfur-containing compounds of an atmospheric residue in the course of cracking in the presence of a tungsten carbide–nickel–chromium (WC/Ni–Cr) catalytic additive and without it. The cracking is carried out in an autoclave at 500 °C for 30 min. The addition of the WC/Ni–Cr additive promotes the deepening of reactions of destruction not only of resins and asphaltenes, but also high molecular weight naphthene-aromatic compounds of the atmospheric residue. It is shown that the content of low molecular weight C9–C17 n-alkanes and C9–C10 alkylbenzenes rose sharply in the products of cracking with addition of WC/Ni–Cr in comparison with those produced without the additive. Alkyl- and naphthene-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons of benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene series, polyarenes, benzo- and dibenzothiophenes are identified.

ABSTRACT DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which is isolated from damask rose, is a useful aroma compound with a citrus-like odor. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor properties of 34 analogs of 1 as part of our new aroma compound development project. In order to develop better aroma compounds and to gather more information on structure-odor relationships, six novel sulfur-containing analogs of 1 were synthesized. Odor evaluation revealed that their odors differed significantly from those of the corresponding sulfur-free compounds. The introduction of a sulfur atom does not necessarily result in a sulfur-like odor. In particular, the 2(5H)-thiophenone analogs gave waxy, oily and lactone-like odors that are uncharacteristic of sulfur-containing compounds. In many synthesized analogs, the introduction of a sulfur atom led to an increase in odor intensity, as expected.
