Modified Rate Law for Bimolecular Reactions: Applicable to Surface as well as Non-surface Reactions

The rate equations in kinematics are expressed through basic laws under surface reaction as well as non-surface reaction. Rate law is center theme of non-surface reaction whereas Langmuir adsorption isotherms are basis of surface reaction rate expressions. A modified rate equation for bimolecular reaction is presented which considers both catalyst surface affairs as well as fraction of successful collision of different reactant for cracking and forming bonds. The modified rate law for bimolecular reaction for surface as well as non-surface reaction is stated as “Rate of a reaction is directly proportional to concentration as well as catalyst surface affair of each reactant” as r = k ΩA[A] ΩB[B] where catalyst surface affair of ith species is defined as Ωi = Ki/(1+Ki[i] + Kj[j] + …). Here, Ki is the equilibrium constant of “i” species for adsorption-desorption processes over catalyst. i, j,… indicates the different adsorbed chemical species at uniform catalyst sites and the same [i], [j], … indicates the concentration of different adsorbed chemical species at uniform catalyst sites.

Adsorption and Reduction of Aqueous Cr by FeS-Modified Fe-Al Layered Double Hydroxide

To remedy the widespread chromium (Cr) pollution in the environment, this study mainly used the ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation and precipitation methods to prepare FeS-modified Fe-Al-layered double hydroxide (FeS/LDH) composite material. The experimental results showed that FeS/LDH has higher removal efficiency of Cr in aqueous solution and stronger anti-interference ability than unmodified LDH. Under the same reaction conditions, the removal efficiency of total Cr(Cr(T)) using LDH was 34.85%, and the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) was 46.76%. For FeS/LDH, the removal efficiency of Cr(T) and Cr(VI) reached 99.57% and 100%, respectively. The restoration of Cr(T) and Cr(VI) by FeS/LDH satisfied the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(T) and Cr(VI) achieved 102.9 mg/g and 147.7 mg/g. The efficient removal of Cr by FeS/LDH was mainly based on the triple synergistic effect of anion exchange between Cr(VI) and interlayer anions, redox of Cr(VI) with Fe2+ and S2−, and co-precipitation of Fe3+ and Cr3+.

Defluoridation of water by Ce-Ti hybrid oxide nanoparticles

In the present work, Ce-Ti and Ce-Ti/Fe3O4 hybrid oxides were prepared by co-precipitation method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The nano-adsorbents were applied to remove fluoride (with the concentration range of 10–30 mg L−1) from aqueous solution, reaching the adsorption equilibrium within 30–60 minutes. Practically, the fluoride removal onto both nanomaterials was efficient at the neutral pH (pH 5–7) and obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacities of 22.78 mg g–1 (Ce-Ti) and 20.28 mg g–1 (Ce-Ti/Fe3O4) at room temperature.

Exploring the Iron Oxide Functionalized Biobased Carbon-silica-polyethyleneimine Composites for Hexavalent Chromium Removal from Dilute Aqueous Solutions

The contamination of water resources by toxic hexavalent chromium remains a challenge. In this study, amino-functionalized iron oxide biobased carbon-silica composites were prepared through co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) over Macadamia activated carbon and explored as feasible adsorbents for the removal of Cr(VI) from dilute aqueous solutions. The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) elemental analysis confirmed the existence of Fe, Si, O, and C atoms, which form the backbone of the composite. The FTIR also showed the presence of Fe-O and Si-O-Si and Si-OH spectral bands, affirming the backbone of the adsorbents. Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency (5.76 mg/g) was achieved at pH 1 when an initial concentration of 2.5 mg/L, contact time of 90 min, and dosage concentration of 1.7 g/L were used. The data were best described by the Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second-order rate model. ΔG° (−3 to −12 kJ/mol) and ΔH° (46, 12 and 5 kJ/mol) values affirmed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) was spontaneous and endothermic and dominated by chemical interactions.

Aplikasi Zeolit Alam Aktif Wonosari Sebagai Adsorben Zat Warna Remazol Yellow Fg

Zeolite as an adsorbent has been widely used. Zeolite activation was carried out to increase the absorption. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the active zeolite and apply it as an adsorbent. The activation process was carried out by adding acid and calcining at 4500C for 6 hours. Remazol Yellow FG is a dye that is widely used in the textile industry. In this study, the adsorption process was carried out on the Remazol Yellow FG solution, then analyzed the effect of changes in pH (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), contact time (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 minutes) and the concentration of Remazol Yellow FG solution ( 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 ppm) on the adsorption of Remazol Yellow FG dye. From the analysis of the sample solution of Remazol Yellow, the values of Ce and qe can be calculated. These values were then used to calculate KL and KF in the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. From the experimental results, it could be seen that as the contact time increased, the adsorption capacity would be greater. However, when the zeolite was already in the saturated phase, the adsorption capacity would tend to decrease. In the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, the KL value was 0.0274 L/mg and in the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model, the KF value was 29.25 L/mg. Remazol Yellow FG adsorption tended to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with an R2 value of 0.998.

In the current study, a variety of sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES)-based ion-exchange membranes were prepared and utilized as efficient and selective solid adsorbents for the detection of Co(II) ions in aquatic solutions. SPES membranes were treated with a variety of cations at a 2:1 ratio overnight. The produced materials were assessed via XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TGA analyses. The structure of these materials was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD, which also confirmed the inclusion of Na+, NH4+, and amberlite on the SPES surface successfully. TGA analysis showed that the thermal stabilities of these materials were enhanced, and the order of stability was NH4-SPES > SPES > Na-SPES > A-SPES. Furthermore, the efficiency of these modified membranes for the determination and adsorption of a variety of metal ions was also examined by the ICP-OES analytical technique. A-SPES expressed a powerful efficiency of adsorption, and it showed an efficient as well as quantitative adsorption at pH = 6. Moreover, A-SPES displayed the highest adsorption capacity of 90.13 mg/g for Co(II) through the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Batch Adsorption Assessment of Neem Nut Carbon for Abating Chromium(VI) in Wastewater

Discharge of Cr(VI) laden effluents is highly toxic and decontaminating the wastewater from Cr(VI) is necessary for Environmental Protection. An investigation on the adsorption characteristics of activated carbon prepared from neem nut (NNC) for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater by varying the parameters such as carbon dose, pH, equilibration time by batch studies was found to be effective for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. Carbon characteristics of activated neem nut carbon were ascertained. Evaluation were done by varying the pH from 1 to 6, carbon dose from 0.1 g to 0.5 g and equilibration time from 1 to 6 hours. Maximum Cr(VI) removal of 95% took place when batch studies were done at an optimal pH of 2, carbon dose of 0.2 g//100mL, and equilibration time of 4 hours. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were considered for analysis.
