Noncovalently D-arabinitol Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) to Identify Different Sugar Alcohols

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are an effective method for separating enantiomeric compounds. The main objective of this research is to synthesize D-arabinitol MIPs, which can selectively separate D-arabinitol and its potential application to differentiate it from its enantiomer compound through a non-covalent approach. A macroporous polymer was synthesized using D-arabinitol as a template, acrylamide as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) being a cross-linker, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) being a porogen, as well as benzoyl peroxide being an initiator. After polymer synthesis, D-arabinitol was removed by a mixture of methanol and acetic acid (4:1, v/v). Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) distinguished the MIPs and NIPs. A selectivity test of MIPs against its enantiomers (L-arabinitol, xylitol, adonitol, and glucose) was carried out using the batch rebinding method. The binding site was quantitatively determined using the Langmuir equation. The results of the selectivity test showed that the MIPs produced was quite selective toward its enantiomer and could potentially be used to separate D-arabinitol from its enantiomer.

Influence of the structure of titenium phosphate on sorption properties

The process of sorption of lead, zinc, cadmium and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions on titanium-containing sorbents of various compositions is studied. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models were used to determine sorption equilibrium. It was found that the process of sorption of metal ions on sorbents is described with the maximum probability by the Langmuir equation. The data obtained made it possible to determine the affinity of the metal to the sorbent and to compose a selectivity series.

Removal of COD in Wastewater By Magnetic Coagulant Prepared From Modified Fly Ash

In order to investigate the effective method of COD removal from desulfurization wastewater, acid-modified fly ash (AFA) and base-modified fly ash (BFA) were prepared by impregnation method. Then, magnetic coagulants (Fe-AFA, Fe-BFA) were prepared by mixing the modified fly ash with magnetic components. The structural characterization results showed that the specific surface area and the porosity of fly ash were obviously increased after modification. Fe-AFA magnetic coagulant has the best performance and superparamagnetism. Under the same experimental conditions, the maximum COD removal amounts of FA, BFA, AFA, Fe-BFA and Fe-AFA were 2.180, 3.209, 4.631, 3.710 and 5.687 mg/g, respectively. The COD removal amount of Fe-AFA was increased by 112.43% compared with the raw FA. The quasi-second-order kinetic and Langmuir equation could well fit the COD coagulation process of five coagulants. After five cycles, the COD removal amount of Fe-AFA was 2.735 mg/g, and the removal rate still reached 67.53%. These findings provide a feasible method for the treatment of fly ash from coal-fired power plants and the preparation of highly efficient COD trapping magnetic coagulants.

Study on the Adsorption Mechanism of Graphene Oxide by Calcareous Sand in South China Sea

To remove graphene oxide from wastewater, we used batch experiments with calcareous sand to recover GO. The adsorption properties and mechanisms of GO by calcareous sand were investigated by different characterization techniques. In this paper, the relationship between the coagulation of GO on calcareous sand and pH, calcareous sand content, GO initial concentration, and temperature was studied. The results show that calcareous sand can effectively adsorb GO from aqueous solution, the interaction of GO with calcareous sand achieved interaction equilibrium in 5 h, and the adsorption of GO by calcareous sand strongly depends on pH. The isotherm data fitted to a Langmuir equation. A possible mechanism can be expressed from FT-IR, XRD, Raman spectra, SEM, EDS, TEM, AFM, and XPS results. The test results indicate that calcareous sand is a potentially recoverable GO material.

Study on different parts of moringa oleifera for treating wastewater

In this study Moringa Oleífera (MO) leaves and pods are utilized for the treatment of Methylene Blue (MB) dye solution. The uptake of pollutants by MO leaves and pods are assessed by varying dosages from 0.01g to 0.1g with different agitation time of 5min to 30 min. From the observed results, the maximum removal (96%) occurs by adding MO leaves at 0.08g dosage at the time period of 15minutes. MO pods removes maximum of 45% at the dosage of 0.1g at 30 minutes. It is found that MO leaves are better in removing organic dye than MO pods. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X Ray (EDX) analysis are carried out to identify the morphological character and elemental composition of the MO leaves and pods. The result shows that the leaves contain more carbon content (33%) than pods (20.3%). Similarly the amount of oxygen is least in leaves thus enhancing the removal of dye particles. The SEM result indicates that the pore development is more in leaves than pods. Finally, Isotherm model was developed for pods and leaves; it is found that MO pods follow Freundlich equation whereas MO leaves follow Langmuir equation.

Analytical description of sorption isotherm in coordinates of Langmuir equation is carried out. It was shown that due to high rates, the degree of extraction from solutions with a concentration of 10- 15 mmol/l under equilibrium conditions reaches 99.6-98.3%.Studies of the sorption process in a dynamic mode showed the possibility of separating heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions on new low-base anionites.

Recovery of Uranium by Se-Derivatives of Amidoximes and Composites Based on Them

An Se-derivative of amidoxime was synthesized for the first time as a result of the reaction of oxidative polycondensation of N’-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide with SeO2: its elementary units are linked to each other due to the formation of strong diselenide bridges. The element composition of the material was established, and the structure of the elementary unit was suggested. The sorption-selective properties were evaluated, and it was found that the adsorbent can be used for the selective recovery of U (VI) from liquid media with a pH of 6–9. The effect of some anions and cations on the efficiency of recovery of U (VI) was estimated. Composite materials were fabricated, in which silica gel with a content of 35, 50, and 65 wt.% was used as a matrix to be applied in sorption columns. The maximum values of adsorption of U (VI) calculated using the Langmuir equation were 620–760 mg g−1 and 370 mg g−1 for the composite and non-composite adsorbents, respectively. The increase in the kinetic parameters of adsorption in comparison with those of the non-porous material was revealed, along with the increase in the specific surface area of the composite adsorbents. In particular, the maximum sorption capacity and the rate of absorption of uranium from the solution increased two-fold.

Utilization of Activated Charcoal from Sawdust as an Antibiotic Adsorbent of Tetracycline Hydrochloride

The use of activated charcoal from sawdust as an adsorbent of tetracycline hydrochloride compounds has been successfully carried out. Sawdust activated charcoal was carbonized at 450°C for 40 minutes with a charcoal size of 100 mesh and activated using H3PO4 solution. The characteristics of active sawdust charcoal showed that water content, iodine adsorption, and methylene blue adsorption had met SNI 06-3730-1995 regarding technical activated charcoal. Testing the morphology of charcoal using a Scanning Electron Microscope showed that the charcoal pores were opened through the activation process. In the functional group analysis test using infrared spectroscopy, the active group contained in charcoal after being activated contained carbon atoms that were purer than sawdust. The adsorption process of tetracycline hydrochloride using sawdust activated charcoal is known to follow Ho orPseudo second-order (K = 0.0039 g/mg.min), while the adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir equation, KL = 0.0076 L/mg and adsorption capacity amounting to 242.1307 mg/g. Thermodynamically, the adsorption process occurs not spontaneously with a Gibbs free energy value of 120.8949 kJ/mol and occurs by chemisorption.
