Employing yeast cells as carriers,a novel cell-loaded photocatalyst yeast/ZnS (YC/ZnS) was successfully synthesized. The adsorption performance of methylene blue on the YC/ZnS microspheres was studied. Experimental results showed that the optimized adsorption conditions were 23°C,pH7 and the YC/ZnS dosage 4.5g/L. Under these conditions,the adsorption capacity of YC/ZnS could reach 471.2μg/g. Isotherm modeling revealed that Freundlich equations described well the adsorption of methylene blue onto YC/ZnS.

By means of solution polymerization, a series of cross-linked starch-g-polyacrylamide/ montmorillonite (St-g-PAM/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared and used to adsorb methylene blue (MB). The effects of different preparation conditions on the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposites were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the prepared St-g-PAM/MMT nanocomposites were effective adsorbents for removal of MB from aqueous solution. Furthermore, adsorption capacity increased with the MMT contents up to 14% and decreased as the MMT contents further increased. Adsorption capacity increased with the increasing of the ratio of starch to acrylamide, whereas adsorption capacity decreased with the increasing of crosslinking agent contents.

The composite was prepared with montmorillonite (MMT) and poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA). Applied the composite as the sorbent, methylene blue as the adsorbate, the influences of the initial concentrations of methylene blue, adsorption time and pH values of the solution on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue by the composite were studied. The experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite both increased with the increasing of initial concentration of methylene blue and the prolonging of adsorption time, and then approached saturation respectively. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite increased with the increasing of pH values of methylene blue solution. Meanwhile, the study of adsorption mechanism demonstrated that the adsorption of methylene blue by MMT/γ-PGA composite was Langmuir type, and the adsorption equation wasΓ=0.204c/(1+0.381C).

Abstract The polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane prepared by the electrospinning technology was used as the matrix, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was introduced into it to synthesize the composite nanofiber membrane. Taking methylene blue as the object, the adsorption performance of nanofiber membranes for dyes in the aqueous solution was studied. The structure, morphology, and specific surface area of the nanofiber membrane were characterized using FTIR, SEM, BET, XRD, and EDS. Meantime, the adsorption equilibrium was also explored. After being modified by cyclodextrin, a large number of cavity structures and hydrophobic binding sites were provided for the nanofiber membrane, and the adsorption performance was significantly improved. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the PAN/β-CD blend nanofiber membrane (at 25℃) for methylene blue was 108.66 mg g−1. The effects of pH, adsorption time, ion concentration, and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption capacity were also investigated. In addition, by fitting with the adsorption model, the adsorption process was more complex with the quasi-secondary adsorption kinetics and Langmuir isotherm adsorption model.

Dyes disposal from the industrial sector into the environment greatly affects the quality of the water. Among various technologies of removing dye pollutants from wastewater, adsorption is one of the most effective and favorable methods. Graphene oxides (GO) has been applied to remove dye pollutants in solution since it has a lot of oxygen-containing groups that can attract and bind pollutants. We study the effect of stirring time on MB adsorption onto GO surfaces. We mixed MB solution with GO dispersion and stirred at varied stirring times. The mixture was kept at room temperature to allow precipitation of the GO-MB mixture and then filtered to separate the precipitate from the residual MB solution. A reduction of MB concentration in the solution was measured using spectroscopy. The experimental results show that MB was adsorbed very fast onto GO surfaces in the first minutes and then the rate of the reduction of MB concentration becomes slower. After the stirring for 60 minutes, almost there is no significant change of the MB concentration that indicated a limit of adsorption capacity of GO.

Abstract In the present work, an attractive and creative adsorbent derived from sewage sludge was freshly fabricated via pyrolysis technology, followed by modification for improving the absorptive ability. First, the (NH4)2S2O8 modified pyrolytic sludge (MSAP) was selected from 19 modified pyrolytic sludges for the highest removal efficiency and adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB). Then, the adsorption performance for MB of MSAP was compared systematically with the pristine adsorbent (MSDW) by batch adsorption experiments. The main conclusions were that the adsorption process was better fitted with the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of MSAP was observed to be 149.05 mg g−1. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics data showed a good fit with the pseudo second order model; when the addition of MSAP was 1.0 g·L−1, the rate constant was 0.05 g·mg−1·min−1, which was far greater than that of the other modified adsorbents.

AbstractNitrogen-grafting through the addition of glycine (Gly) was performed on a metal- phenolic network (MPN) of copper (Cu2+) and gallic acid (GA) to increase its adsorption capacity. Herein, we reported a one-step synthesis method of MPN, which was developed according to the metal–ligand complexation principle. The nitrogen grafted CuGA (Ng-CuGA) MPN was obtained by reacting Cu2+, GA, and Gly in an aqueous solution at a molar ratio of 1:1:1 and a pH of 8. Several physicochemical measurements, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA), were done on Ng-CuGA to elucidate its characteristics. The analysis revealed that the Ng-CuGA has non-uniform spherical shaped morphology with a pore volume of 0.56 cc/g, a pore size of 23.25 nm, and thermal stability up to 205 °C. The applicational potential of the Ng-CuGA was determined based on its adsorption capacity against methylene blue (MB). The Ng-CuGA was able to adsorb 190.81 mg MB per g adsorbent at a pH of 6 and temperature of 30 °C, which is 1.53 times higher than the non-grafted CuGA. Detailed assessment of Ng-CuGA adsorption properties revealed their pH- and temperature-dependent nature. The adsorption capacity and affinity were found to decrease at a higher temperature, demonstrating the exothermic adsorption behavior.

Abstract.This work measured $ \mathrm{d}\sigma/\mathrm{d}\Omega$dσ/dΩ for neutral kaon photoproduction reactions from threshold up to a c.m. energy of 1855MeV, focussing specifically on the $ \gamma p\rightarrow K^0\Sigma^+$γp→K0Σ+, $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0\Lambda$γn→K0Λ, and $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 reactions. Our results for $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 are the first-ever measurements for that reaction. These data will provide insight into the properties of $ N^{\ast}$N* resonances and, in particular, will lead to an improved knowledge about those states that couple only weakly to the $ \pi N$πN channel. Integrated cross sections were extracted by fitting the differential cross sections for each reaction as a series of Legendre polynomials and our results are compared with prior experimental results and theoretical predictions.
