Carbide slag was used as raw materials for the first time to prepare xonontlite whiskers via a hydrothermal route without special instruments and synthesis conditions. And the effect of pH value of emulsion of carbide slag and hydrothermal conditions on removal rate of impurities, morphology and crystallinity of synthesized xonotlite whiskers were explored using ICP, SEM and XRD techniques. The results indicated that the carbide slag after purification could be used to prepare xonotlite whiskers, and different pH values of emulsion of carbide slag had great impact on the removal rate of impurities and morphology of xonotlite whiskers. Xonotlite whiskers with 20-40 μm in length and 100-500 nm in diameter were hydrothermally synthesized at 230 °C for 15 h with using silicic acid as kiesel material.

Hydrogen production with waste water can reduce pollution and produce clean energy at the same time. Hydrogen production is affected by many factors. In this experiment, with automatic fermentor, hydrogen and acid production, as well as organic removal rates from brown sugar wastewater by anaerobic cultures at various pH values, are studied. Results showed that the highest hydrogen production efficiency could be achieved when the pH value was maintained at 6.0. The maximum hydrogen production was 61.1mlH2/(g.VSS.d), and COD removal rate reached up to 33.8%, relatively higher than other pH values. The acid production was significantly improved under the condition of pH=4.5. However, the composition of VFAs was similar at the different pH values. The amount of acetic acid and butyric acid was account for about 90% of the final liquor products, and only a little propionic acid has being detected. The TOC removal rate in the system under different pH conditions are increase with pH value, but all below 10%. As the reaction proceeds, the propionic acid accumulation were also observed, higher pH could decrease the producing rate of it.

The removal of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and turbidity from model solution by coagulation was investigated. A polyaluminum chloride (PACl) was used as a coagulant in the coagulation process. The effects of coagulant dose, slow mixing time, solution pH value and initial turbidity on the removal of both PFOA and turbidity from water were studied. It was found that the removal rate of PFOA in water increase along with the increase in slow mixing time, initial turbidity and PAC dose. The removal rate of PFOA is more effective at the near neutral solution pH values and the high initial turbidity. The removal percents of PFOA exceed 80% at the optimal condition. The removal mechanism was speculated to be the electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic interaction in coagulation process.

In the present study, the convective heat transfer enhancement of carbon nanotube (CNT)-water nanofluid has been studied experimentally inside an automobile radiator. Heat removal rate of the coolant flowing through the automobile radiators is of great importance for the optimization of fuel consumption. In this study, four different concentrations of nanofluids in the range of 0.15–1 vol. % were prepared with the addition of CNT nanoparticles into water. The CNT nanocoolants are synthesized by functionalization (FCNT) and surface treatment (SCNT) method. The effects of various parameters, namely synthesis method, variation in pH values and nanoparticle concentration on the Nusselt number are examined through the experimental investigation. Results demonstrate that both nanocoolants exhibit enormous change Nusselt number compared with water. The results of functionalized CNT nanocoolant with 5.5 pH exhibits better performance compared to the nanocoolant with pH value of 6.5 and 9. The surface treated CNT nanocoolant exhibits the deterioration in heat transfer performance. In addition, Nusselt number found to increase with the increase in the nanoparticle concentration and nanofluid velocity.

This paper investigates the macroporous chelating ion exchangers with different functional groups for their sorption properties towards the copper(II) and zinc(II) ions. The investigations by the dynamic and static methods were carried out in the presence of traditional complexing agents. The differences in affinity of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with these complexones result from the kind of functional groups of the chelating ion exchangers, such as thiourea, aminomethylphosphonate, iminodiacetate, and polyamine groups as well as from the pH value. The quantitative removal of studied heavy metal complexes using chelating ion exchangers is achieved in the case when resins compete successfully for the heavy metal ions against these chelators.Key words: chelating resins, heavy metals, EDTA, NTA.

A adsorbent for cadmium has been prepared by loading an anion-exchange resin with a novel supramolecular compound named thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (TCAS). The adsorption properties of Pb2+on TCAS-loaded resin had been studied and the effects of varying temperature, pH value, adsorption time and initial concentration. Batch extraction studies had revealed a high adsorption ability of the TCAS-loaded resin toward this heavy metal ion with high selectivity. The maximum adsorption capacity of the TCAS-loaded resin toward Pb2+ was 26.32 mg•g-1. The removal rate of Pb2+in water was up to 99% after 40min at 20°C when a 50mL aqueous solution of Pb2+(10 mg•L-1) was adsorbed by 0.5g TCAS-loaded resin. The removal percentage steadily retained above 99% when the pH values were in the range of 4 to 7. The adsorption isotherm of the TCAS-loaded resin to Pb2+ions fits well to linear form of Langmuir sorption equation.

The development of the city traffic and its increasing traffic flux are the signs of the development of the society, but causing a serious pollution on the city's ecological environment. Cement hydration reactions are needed to generate Ca (OH)2, C-S-H gel, and AFt, as well as other hydrated products. Meanwhile, heavy metal ions are contained and fixed in a cement paste under physical encapsulation, absorption, isomorphous replacement, and double decomposition. This paper mainly discusses the impact of hydration environment on the adsorption law of materials adsorbing heavy metal ions and the adsorption mechanism under different pH values and temperatures, analyzing specific reasons from the perspective of micro-structure. Through the analysis it can be seen that, in addition to zinc ions, the cement-based materials’ capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions increases as the pH value and the temperature increase. Micro-structure analysis shows that cement-based materials’ main adsorption methods are different when pH values are different.
