Zeolite Composite

Polyacrylamide-zeolite composite was prepared by direct polymerization of polyacrylamide in suspensions of β-zeolite. Phytic acid was then immobilized on the composite surface. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermal gravimetry (TG) techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized adsorbent. The adsorptive features of the composite and the modified composite were investigated for the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solution in view of dependency on pH, time, ion concentration, temperature, selectivity, kinetics and reusability. The adsorption isotherms were evaluated with reference to the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Thermodynamic of the system was calculated. ΔG<0 indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous. Good compatibility of the adsorption kinetics to the pseudo-second-order model predicted that the rate-controlling step was a chemical sorption. The selectivity experiments showed that the adsorbents were selective toward Pb2+ in the presence of Zn2+ and Cd2+. The reusability of the adsorbent was tested for four regeneration cycles.

Abstract Commercial Granulated Active Carbon (GAC) has been modified using 10 Gy dose Gamma irradiation (GAC10 Gy) for increasing its ability of air purification. Both, the raw and treated samples were applied for removing Chlorpyrifos pesticide (CPF) from ambient midair. Physicochemical properties of the two materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The phase formation and microstructure were monitored using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), supported with Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The Surface area measurement was detected using BET particle size prosometry. Obtained outcomes showed that, the maximum adsorption capacity, given by Langmuir equations, was greatly increased from 172.712 to 272.480 mg/g for GAC and GAC10 Gy, respectively, with high selectivity. The overall removal efficiency of GAC10 Gy was notably comparable to that of the original GAC-sorbent. The present study indicated that, gamma irradiation could be a promising technique for treating GAC and turned it more active in eliminating the pesticides pollutants from surrounding air. The data of equilibrium has been analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich models, that were considerably better suited for the investigated materials than other models. The process kinetics of CPF adsorbed onto both tested carbon versions were found to obey the pseudo first order at all concentrations with an exception at 70 mg/l using GAC, where, the spontaneous exothermic adsorption of Chlorpyrifos is a strong function for the pseudo-first order (PFO) and pseudo second order (PSO) kinetics.

Modified rapeseed oil(MRO) was prepared by using rapeseed oil, ethylene diamine and acrylic acid as the raw materials. Modified rapeseed oil/montmorillonite(MRO/MMT) nanocomposite was prepared by using modified rapeseed oil and montmorillonite. The emulsifying properties of MRO and MRO/MMT were determined respectively. Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and Transmission Electron microscope (TEM) results showed that MRO/MMT was prepared successfully. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that modified rapeseed oil could smoothly enter the interlayer of montmorillonite, and modified the montmorillonite; with an increase in the amount of montmorillonite, the layer spacing of montmorillonite in the MRO/MMT lower after the first increase. The results of emulsifying properties indicated that emulsifying properties of MRO/MMT was better than MRO.

The Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite was synthesized by the coprecipitation-ultrasonication method. The reaction was carried out under a inert gas environment. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques (VSM), the surface area of the nanoparticles was determined to be 77.92 m2/g by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The kinetic data showed that the adsorption process fitted with the pseudo-second order model. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics and mechanisms of Cr(VI) by Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite. The adsorption process was found to be highly pH-dependent, which made the material selectively adsorb these metals from aqueous solution. The isotherms of adsorption were also studied using Langmuir and Freundlich equations in linear forms. It is found that the Langmuir equation showed better linear correlation with the experimental data than the Freundlich. The thermodynamics of Cr(VI) adsorption onto the Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite indicated that the adsorption was exothermic. The reusability study has proven that Fe3O4/Talc nanocomposite can be employed as a low-cost and easy to separate.

We report the use of biochar and Fe3O4 nanoparticles as co-stabilizers for oil-in-water (o/w) Pickering emulsion. The emulsion is subsequently used to prepare magnetic tetracycline-imprinted biochar composite microspheres (MMIPMs) with good uniformity and high selectivity. The MMIPMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunner-Emmet-Teller (BET) measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of tetracycline to the MMIPMs were investigated using different adsorption experiments including adsorption kinetic experiment, equilibrium binding experiment, selectivity evaluation and competitive adsorption tests. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of the MMIPMs (15.45 mg g−1) was greater than that of the raw biochar (2.10 mg g−1) and non-imprinted biochar composite microspheres (3.39 mg g−1) for tetracycline. Further, the MMIPMs were used as adsorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction (SPE) for the extraction of tetracycline present in drinking water, milk, fish and chicken samples. Under optimal conditions, the results showed good recovery yield ranging from 88.41% to 106.29% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) ranging from 0.35% to 6.83%, respectively.

In our study, Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The structure, composition, morphology and thermal stability of the synthesized Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, N2 physisorption, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. Batch experiments were performed to study the adsorption behavior of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) as a function of pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, and adsorbent dose. The maximum adsorption capacity of Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides for cobalt and nickel metal ions was 116.7 mg g−1, and 70.4 mg g−1, respectively. The experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models in linear and nonlinear regression analysis. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption process could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Experimental equilibrium data were well represented by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Also, the maximum monolayer capacity, qmax, obtained was 113.8 mg g−1, and 79.4 mg g−1 for Co(II), and Ni(II), respectively. Our results showed that Mg–Al–Zn mingled oxides can be used as an efficient adsorbent material for removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater samples.

NiO nanoparticles were successfully prepared by decomposing the predecessor bis(glycinato)nickel(II)dihydrate in the presence of oleylamine and triphenylphosphine (TPP), and different approaches including Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry(FT-IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the NiO nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the effects of TPP concentration and reaction time on the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles derived from precursors were thoroughly investigated in this paper. The analysis results indicated that the prepared NiO nanoparticles were found spherical in shape and demonstrated weak agglomeration. They had generally high purity and a fine crystal phase of cubic syngony. Furthermore, the effects of the TPP concentration and reaction time on the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles are very crucial, higher concentration of TPP would results in reduction of both the mean size and yield of NiO particles. However both yields and particles size of NiO nanoparticles continuously increased as increasing reaction time, after more than 60 minutes, the size and yield of NiO nanoparticles kept hardly change.

Chitosan Membranes

Cross-linked chitosan was synthesized with glutaraldehyde (chitosan–GLA) and epichlorohydrin (chitosan–ECH). The structures of these matrices were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), the degree of de-acetylation and the surface topography as determined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After promoting interaction with the metal ion, the adsorbent was also studied using FT-IR and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). Adsorption studies for Cu(II) and Hg(II) ions were carried out in a batch process. The adsorption kinetics were tested using three models, viz. pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion. The experimental kinetic data were best fitted by the pseudo-second-order model for Cu(II) ions (R2 ≥ 0.98) and for Hg(II) ions (R2 = 0.99). Higher rate constants (k2) were obtained for the adsorption of Cu(II) ions onto chitosan–GLA [1.40 g/(mmol h)] and for Hg(II) ions onto raw chitosan [5.65 g/(mmol h)]. The adsorption rate depended on the concentration of Cu(II) and Hg(II) ions on the adsorbent surface and on the quantity of ions adsorbed at equilibrium. At 293 K, the Langmuir–Freundlich model provided a better fit to the adsorption isotherms on both raw and cross-linked chitosan membranes. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cu(II) ions was obtained with the chitosan–GLA matrix (2.7 mmol/g). A maximum adsorption capacity of 3.1 mmol/g was attained for Hg(II) ions onto the chitosan–ECH matrix.

The removal of Mn (II) ion by saponified garlic peel (S-GP) was investigated using batch adsorption. SEM and FT-IR were employed to investigate the physical and chemical properties of S-GP. The adsorption was evaluated as a function of initial metal ion concentration, contact time and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity for Mn (II) was 0.51 mol/kg, and the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model. Pseudo-second-order models fitted the experimental data well and kinetic parameters, rate constants, equilibrium sorption capacity and related correlation coefficients at various temperatures were calculated and discussed. A possible adsorption mechanism based on a cation exchange was proposed for the adsorption of Mn (II).
