This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25,50,85,200,and 300,used for the removal of H_(2)S in lowtemperature,low-oxygen environments.The imp...This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25,50,85,200,and 300,used for the removal of H_(2)S in lowtemperature,low-oxygen environments.The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated.According to the performance test results,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity,reaching 231.75 mg H_(2)S/g_(sorbent).Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H_(2)S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance.XRD,BET,and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species,with Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content,providing more active sites for H_(2)S adsorption.H_(2)-TPR and O_(2)-TPD results confirmed that Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity,contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process.With notable characteristics such as a large surface area,high desulfurization efficiency,and water resistance,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.展开更多

The influences of calcinations temperatures and operation conditions such as: reaction temperature, 02 concentration, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and relative humidity (RH) were also discussed respectively. The results showed that catalysts with 5.0 wt% A1203 calcined at 300 ℃ had supe- rior activity for the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis of COS and CS2. When the reaction temperature was above 50 ℃, catalytic hydrolysis activity of COS could be enhanced but that of CS2 was inhibited. Too high RH could make the catalytic hydrolysis activities of COS and CS2 decrease. A small amount of 02 introduction could enhance the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis activities of COS and CS2.展开更多

The sample modified for10 min and 6.8 k V output(30 V input voltage) maintained 100% H2 S conversion over a long reaction time of 390 min. The surface properties of adsorbents modified by NTP under different conditions were evaluated by the methods of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET) analysis and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), to help understand the effect of the NTP treatment. NTP treatment enhanced the adsorption capacity of Fe/WSAC, which could due to the formation of micro-pores with sizes of0.4, 0.5 and 0.75 nm. XPS revealed that chemisorbed oxygen changed into lattice oxygen after NTP treatment, and lattice oxygen is beneficial for H2 S oxidation. From the in-situ FTIR result,transformation of the reaction path on Fe/WSAC was observed after NTP modification. The research results indicate that NTP is an effective method to improve the surface properties of the Fe/WSAC catalyst for H2 S adsorption-oxidation.展开更多

The results showed that the HCN breakthrough capacity was enhanced significantly when zeolites were loaded with Cu. The physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents that influence the HCN adsorption capacity were analyzed. The maximal HCN breakthrough capacities were about the same for both zeolites at 2.2 mol of HCN/mol of Cu. The Cu2p XPS spectra showed that the possible species present were Cu2O and CuO. The Nls XPS data and FT-IR spectra indicated that CN- would be formed in the presence of Cu+/Cu2+ and oxygen gas, and the reaction product could be adsorbed onto Cu/ZSM-5 zeolite more easily than HCN.展开更多

The performance of the E-ME system was compared with separate electrolysis(SE) and micro-electrolysis(ME) systems. The results showed a prominent synergistic effect on COD removal in E-ME systems. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC–MS) analysis confirmed that the applied electric field enhanced the degradation of phenolic compounds.Meanwhile, more biodegradable oxygen-bearing compounds were detected. SEM images of granular activated carbon(GAC) showed that inactivation and blocking were inhibited during the E-ME process. The effects of applied voltage and initial p H in E-ME systems were also studied. The best voltage value was 1 V, but synergistic effects existed even with lower applied voltage. E-ME systems exhibited some p H buffering capacity and attained the best efficiency in neutral media, which means that there is no need to adjust p H prior to or during the treatment process. Therefore, E-ME systems were confirmed as a promising technology for treatment of coking wastewater and other refractory wastewater.展开更多

文摘Biomass burning(BB)emits carbonaceous aerosols that significantly influence air quality in Southwest China during spring.To further understand the characteristics of spring BB and its original contribution to organic carbon(OC),daily fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))samples were collected from March to May 2022 in Pu'er,Southwest China.The concentrations of OC,elemental carbon(EC),levoglucosan(Lev),and potassium from BB(K+BB)during the study period ranged from 5.3 to 31.2μg/m^(3),0.86-13.1μg/m^(3),0.06-0.82μg/m^(3),and 0.05-2.88μg/m^(3),respectively.To eliminate the effects of Lev degradation,this study uses the Aging of Air Mass(AAM)index to correct the atmospheric concentration of Lev and combines Bayesian mixture modeling with a molecular tracer method to assess the original contribution of BB to OC.The results indicated that the AAM index was 0.18±0.05,indicating that the degradation of Lev reached 82%.When considering the degradation of levoglucosan in the atmosphere,the primary source of BB aerosols was crop-straw combustion(71.1%),followed by the combustion of certain hardwoods and softwoods(24.9%)and grasses(4.0%).The original contribution of BB to OC was 62.4%,which was much greater than the contribution when levoglucosan degradation(23.7%)was ignored.The air mass inverse trajectories and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)fire hotspots indicated that the BB plume from Southeast Asia during spring could influence PM_(2.5)long-range transport in remote locations,and the contribution could reach 82%in Southwest China.

文摘The chemical transformation of CO_(2) produces carbon compounds that can be used as precursors for the production of chemicals and fuels.Here,we investigated the activity and selectivity of the transition metals(Fe,Co,and Ni)supported on CeO_(2) catalyst for CO_(2) hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure.We found that Ni/CeO_(2) shows the highest CO_(2)conversion compared with Fe/CeO_(2) and Co/CeO_(2).Besides,Co/CeO_(2)and Ni/CeO_(2) exhibit nearly 100%CH_(4)selectivity while Fe/CeO_(2) inclines to produce CO.The characterization results show that the metal-support interaction order is Fe/CeO_(2)>Co/CeO_(2)>Ni/CeO_(2),the weak metal-support inte raction over Ni/CeO_(2)benefits the activation of H_(2) and then promotes the activity of CO_(2) hydrogenation.Additionally,in situ DRIFTS results demonstrate that monodentate formate species rather than bidentate formate are the active intermediates.The main route of CO_(2) hydrogenation to CH_(4) is that CO_(2) is firstly transformed to m-HCOO*and then direct hydrogenation of the m-HCOO*to CH_(4).This study provides insights into the understanding of the mechanisms of CO_(2) hydrogenation on CeO_(2)based catalysts.

文摘In this paper,a low-cost and environmental-friendly leaching agent citric acid(C_(6)H_(8)O_(7))was used to treat the sediment of Dianchi Lake(SDL)to synthesize lithium silicate(Li_(4)SiO_(4))based CO_(2)sorbent.The results were compared with that treated with strong acid.Moreover,the effects of preparation conditions,sorption conditions and desorption conditions on the CO_(2)sorption performance of prepared Li_(4)SiO_(4)were systematically studied.Under optimal conditions,the Li_(4)SiO_(4)sorbent was successfully synthesized and its CO_(2)sorption capacity reached 31.37%(mass),which is much higher than that synthesized from SDL treated with strong acid.It is speculated that the presence of some elements after C_(6)H_(8)O_(7)treatment may promote the sorption of synthetic Li_(4)SiO_(4)to CO_(2).In addition,after doping with K_(2)CO_(3),the CO_(2)uptake increases from the original 12.02%and 22.12%to 23.96%and 32.41%(mass)under the 20%and 50%CO_(2)partial pressure,respectively.More importantly,after doping K_(2)CO_(3),the synthesized Li_(4)SiO_(4)has a high cyclic stability under the low CO_(2)partial pressure.

文摘To investigate the enhancing effect of Mn on the performance of simultaneous catalytic oxidation of AsH_(3)and PH_(3)by CuO-Al_(2)O_(3)in a reducing atmosphere under micro-oxygen conditions,Cu-Mn modifiedγ-Al_(2)O_(3)catalysts were prepared.The characteristics of the catalysts showed that Mn reduced the crystallinity of the active CuO component,increased the number of oxygen vacancies and acidic sites on the catalyst surface,enhanced the mobility of surface oxygen,and the interaction between copper and manganese promoted the redox cycling ability of the catalysts and improved their oxidation performance,which increased the conversion frequency(TOF)by 2.54×10^(-2)to 3.07×10^(-2)sec^(-1).On the other hand,the introduction of Mn reduced the production of phosphate and As_(2)O_(3)on the catalyst surface by30.96%and 44.9%,which reduced the coverage and inerting of the active sites by phosphate and As_(2)O_(3),resulting in an 8 hr(6 hr)improvement in the stability of PH_(3)(AsH_(3))removal.

文摘The application of industrial solid wastes as environmentally functional materials for air pollutants control has gained much attention in recent years due to its potential to reduce air pollution in a cost-effective manner.In this review,we investigate the development of industrialwaste-based functional materials for various gas pollutant removal and consider the relevant reaction mechanism according to different types of industrial solid waste.We see a recent effort towards achieving high-performance environmental functional materials via chemical or physical modification,in which the active components,pore size,and phase structure can be altered.The review will discuss the potential of using industrial solid wastes,these modified materials,or synthesized materials from raw waste precursors for the removal of air pollutants,including SO_(2),NO_(x),Hg^(0),H_(2)S,VOCs,and CO_(2).The challenges still need to be addressed to realize this potential and the prospects for future research fully.The suggestions for future directions include determining the optimal composition of these materials,calculating the real reaction rate and turnover frequency,developing effective treatment methods,and establishing chemical component databases of raw industrial solid waste for catalysts/adsorbent preparation.

文摘Enhancing soil organic matter characteristics,ameliorating physical structure,mitigating heavy metal toxicity,and hastening mineral weathering processes are crucial approaches to accomplish the transition of tailings substrate to a soil-like substrate.The incorporation of biomass co-pyrolysis and plant colonization has been established to be a significant factor in soil substrate formation and soil pollutant remediation.Despite this,there is presently an absence of research efforts aimed at synergistically utilizing these two technologies to expedite the process of mining tailings soil substrate formation.The current study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of geochemical changes and rapid mineral weathering during the process of transforming tailings substrate into a soil-like substrate,under the combined effects of biomass co-smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization.The findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization induces a high-temperature effect and biological effects,which enhance the physical and chemical properties of tailings,while simultaneously accelerating the rate of mineral weathering.Notable improvements include the amelioration of extreme pH levels,nutrient enrichment,the formation of aggregates,and an increase in enzyme activity,all of which collectively demonstrate the successful attainment of tailings substrate reconstruction.Evidence of the acceleratedweathering was verified by phase and surfacemorphology analysis using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.Discovered corrosion and fragmentation on the surface ofminerals.The weathering resulted in corrosion and fragmentation of the surface of the treated mineral.This study confirms that co-smoldering pyrolysis of biomass,combined with plant colonization,can effectively promote the transformation of tailings into soil-like substrates.This method has can effectively address the key challenges that have previously hindered sustainable development of the mining industry and provides a novel approach for ecological restoration of tailings deposits.

文摘Metal nanoparticle(NP_S)catalysts exhibit desirable activities in various catalytic reactions.However,the sintering of metal NPs at high-temperatures even in reducing atmospheres limits its practical application.In this work,we successfully synthesized TPA-ZSM-5 with pit-type defects by treating the ZSM-5 with tetrahydroxy ammonium hydroxide(TPAOH),which was then used as a support to prepare Ag-based and Cu-based catalysts.Stability testing results show that the Ag/TPA-ZSM-5 catalyst treated at 800℃with H_(2) could maintain the high performance in NH_(3)-SCO and the Cu/TPA-ZSM-5 catalyst treated at 900℃ with N_(2) could maintained its excellent activity in NH_(3)-SCR,however,the activities of Ag/ZSM-5 and Cu/ZSM-5 were drastically decreased or even deactivated after high-temperature treatment.In addition,a series of characterization analyses revealed that the excellent thermal stability is attribute to the presence of pit-type defects in the TPA-ZSM-5 as physical barriers to slow down or even inhibit the Ag NPs and Cu NPs sintering process.The strategy of using the pit-type defects to inhibit the sintering of metal NPs and improve the thermal stability can greatly enhance the practical application of catalysts.

文摘To improve the activity of Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalysts in selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia(NH_(3)-SCO),valence state and size of active centers of Al_(2)O_(3)-supported Co catalysts were adjusted by conducting H_(2)reduction pretreatment.The NH_(3)-SCO activity of the adjusted 2Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst was substantially improved,outperforming other catalysts with higher Co-loading.Fresh Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalysts exhibited multitemperature reduction processes,enabling the control of the valence state of the Co-active centers by adjusting the reduction temperature.Changes in the state of the Co-active centers also led to differences in redox capacity of the catalysts,resulting in different reaction mechanisms for NH_(3)-SCO.However,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra revealed that an excessive O_(2)activation capacity caused overoxidation of NH_(3)to NO and NO_(2).The NH_(3)-SCO activity of the 2Co/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst with low redox capacity was successfully increased while controlling and optimizing the N_(2)selectivity by modulating the active centers via H_(2)pretreatment,which is a universalmethod used for enhancing the redox properties of catalysts.Thus,this method has great potential for application in the design of inexpensive and highly active catalysts.

文摘In this study,non-thermal plasma(NTP)was employed to modify the Cu/TiO_(2)adsorbent to efficiently purify H_(2)S in low-temperature and micro-oxygen environments.The effects of Cu loading amounts and atmospheres of NTP treatment on the adsorption-oxidation performance of the adsorbents were investigated.The NTP modification successfully boosted the H_(2)S removal capacity to varying degrees,and the optimized adsorbent treated by air plasma(Cu/TiO_(2)-Air)attained the best H_(2)S breakthrough capacity of 113.29 mg H_(2)S/gadsorbent,which was almost 5 times higher than that of the adsorbent without NTP modification.Further studies demonstrated that the superior performance of Cu/TiO_(2)-Air was attributed to increased mesoporous volume,more exposure of active sites(CuO)and functional groups(amino groups and hydroxyl groups),enhanced Ti-O-Cu interaction,and the favorable ratio of active oxygen species.Additionally,the X-ray diffraction(XRD)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)results indicated the main reason for the deactivationwas the consumption of the active components(CuO)and the agglomeration of reaction products(CuS and SO_(4)^(2−))occupying the active sites on the surface and the inner pores of the adsorbents.

文摘This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25,50,85,200,and 300,used for the removal of H_(2)S in lowtemperature,low-oxygen environments.The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated.According to the performance test results,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity,reaching 231.75 mg H_(2)S/g_(sorbent).Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H_(2)S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance.XRD,BET,and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species,with Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content,providing more active sites for H_(2)S adsorption.H_(2)-TPR and O_(2)-TPD results confirmed that Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity,contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process.With notable characteristics such as a large surface area,high desulfurization efficiency,and water resistance,Cu_(30)/HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

文摘In this work, a series of coal-based active carbon (CAC) catalysts loaded by A1203 were prepared by sol-gel method and used for the simulta- neous catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) at relatively low temperatures of 30-70 ℃. The influences of calcinations temperatures and operation conditions such as: reaction temperature, 02 concentration, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and relative humidity (RH) were also discussed respectively. The results showed that catalysts with 5.0 wt% A1203 calcined at 300 ℃ had supe- rior activity for the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis of COS and CS2. When the reaction temperature was above 50 ℃, catalytic hydrolysis activity of COS could be enhanced but that of CS2 was inhibited. Too high RH could make the catalytic hydrolysis activities of COS and CS2 decrease. A small amount of 02 introduction could enhance the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis activities of COS and CS2.

文摘The sol–gel method was used to synthesize a series of metal oxides-supported activated carbon fiber (ACF) and the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis activity of carbonyl sulfide (COS)and carbon disulfide (CS2) at relatively low temperatures of 60°C was tested.The effects of preparation conditions on the catalyst properties were investigated,including the kinds and amount of metal oxides and calcination temperatures.The activity tests indicated that catalysts with 5 wt.%Ni after calcining at 400°C (Ni(5)/ACF(400)) had the best performance for the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis of COS and CS2.The surface and structure properties of prepared ACF were characterized by scanning electron microscope-energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM-EDS),Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET),X-ray diffraction (XRD),carbon dioxidetemperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD) and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared reflection (DRFTIR).And the metal cation defects were researched by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method.The characterization results showed that the supporting of Ni on the ACF made the ACF catalyst show alkaline and increased the specific surface area and the number of micropores,then improved catalytic hydrolysis activity.The DRFTIR results revealed that-OH species could facilitate the hydrolysis of COS and CS2;-COO and-C–O species could facilitate the oxidation of catalytic hydrolysate H2S.And the EPR results showed that high calcination temperature conditions provide more active reaction center for the COS and CS2 adsorption.

文摘Walnut-shell activated carbon(WSAC) supported ferric oxide was modified by non-thermal plasma(NTP), and the removal efficiency for hydrogen sulfide over Fe/WSAC modified by dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) was significantly promoted. The sample modified for10 min and 6.8 k V output(30 V input voltage) maintained 100% H2 S conversion over a long reaction time of 390 min. The surface properties of adsorbents modified by NTP under different conditions were evaluated by the methods of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET) analysis and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), to help understand the effect of the NTP treatment. NTP treatment enhanced the adsorption capacity of Fe/WSAC, which could due to the formation of micro-pores with sizes of0.4, 0.5 and 0.75 nm. XPS revealed that chemisorbed oxygen changed into lattice oxygen after NTP treatment, and lattice oxygen is beneficial for H2 S oxidation. From the in-situ FTIR result,transformation of the reaction path on Fe/WSAC was observed after NTP modification. The research results indicate that NTP is an effective method to improve the surface properties of the Fe/WSAC catalyst for H2 S adsorption-oxidation.

文摘Non-thermal plasma(NTP)surface modification technology is a new method to control the surface properties of materials,which has been widely used in the field of environmental protection because of its short action time,simple process and no pollution.In this study,Cu/ACF(activated carbon fiber loaded with copper)adsorbent was modified with NTP to remove H_(2)S and PH_(3) simultaneously under low temperature and micro-oxygen condition.Meanwhile,the effects of different modified atmosphere(air,N_(2) and NH_(3)),specific energy input(0–13 J/mL)and modification time(0–30 min)on the removal of H_(2)S and PH_(3) were investigated.Performance test results indicated that under the same reaction conditions,the adsorbent modified by NH_(3) plasma with 5 J/mL for 10 min had the best removal effect on H_(2)S and PH_(3).CO_(2) temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyzes showed that NH_(3) plasma modification could introduce amino functional groups on the surface of the adsorbent,and increase the types and number of alkaline sites on the surface.Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and scanning electron microscopy showed that NH_(3) plasma modification did not significantly change the pore size structure of the adsorbent,but more active components were evenly exposed to the surface,thus improving the adsorption performance.In addition,X-ray diffraction and XPS analysis indicated that the consumption of active components(Cu and Cu_(2)O)and the accumulation of sulfate and phosphate on the surface and inner pores of the adsorbent are the main reasons for the deactivation of the adsorbent.

文摘Metal (Cu, Co, or Zn) loaded ZSM-5 and Y zeolite adsorbents were prepared for the adsorption of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) toxic gas. The results showed that the HCN breakthrough capacity was enhanced significantly when zeolites were loaded with Cu. The physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents that influence the HCN adsorption capacity were analyzed. The maximal HCN breakthrough capacities were about the same for both zeolites at 2.2 mol of HCN/mol of Cu. The Cu2p XPS spectra showed that the possible species present were Cu2O and CuO. The Nls XPS data and FT-IR spectra indicated that CN- would be formed in the presence of Cu+/Cu2+ and oxygen gas, and the reaction product could be adsorbed onto Cu/ZSM-5 zeolite more easily than HCN.

文摘The simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)from industrial exhaust flue gas has drawn worldwide attention in recent years.A particularly attractive technique is selective catalytic reduction,which effectively removes SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)at low temperatures.This paper first reviews the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)by unsupported and supported catalysts.It then describes and compares the research progress of various carriers,eg.,carbon-based materials,metal oxides,silica,molecular sieves,metal-organic frameworks,and pillared interlayered clays,in the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0).The effects of flue-gas components(such as O_(2),NH3,HCl,H2 O,SO_(2),NO and Hg^(0))on the removal of SO_(2),NOx,and Hg^(0)are discussed comprehensively and systematically.After summarizing the pollutantremoval mechanism,the review discusses future developments in the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NOx and Hg^(0)by catalysts.

文摘This work explored the influences of the drying and calcination temperatures on a Ce-Cu-Al trimetallic composite catalyst for the simultaneous removal of H_(2)S and PH_(3).The effects of both temperatures on the structural features and activity were examined.The density functional theory method was used to calculate adsorption energies and further analyze their adsorption behavior on different slabs.Experiments revealed suitable drying and calcination temperatures to be 60 and 500℃,respectively.The capacity reached 323.8 and 288.1 mg/g.Adjusting drying temperature to 60℃is more inclined to form larger and structured grains of CuO.Rising calcinating temperature to 500℃could increase the grain size and redox capacity of CuO to promote performance.Higher temperatures would destroy the surface structure and lead to a crystal phase transformation,which was that the CuO and Al_(2)O_(3)were gradually recombined into CuAl_(2)O_(4)with a spinel structure.The exposed crystal planes of surficial CuO and CuAl_(2)O_(4)were determined according to characterization results.Calculation results showed that,compared with CuO(111),H_(2)S and PH_(3)have weaker adsorption strength on CuAl_(2)O_(4)(100)which is not conducive to their adsorption and removal.

文摘To achieve"waste controlled by waste",a novel wet process using KMnO_(4)/copper converter slag slurry for simultaneously removing SO_(2)and NO_(x)from acid-making tail gas was proposed.Through the solid-liquid separation for copper slag slurry,the liquid-phase part has a critical influence on removing NO_(x)and SO_(2).Also,the leached metal ions played a crucial role in the absorption of SO_(2)and NO_(x).Subsequently,the effects of single/multi-metal ions on NO_(x)removal was investigated.The results showed that the leached metal from copper converter slag(Al^(3+),Cu^((2+),and Mg^((2+))and KMnO_(4)had a synergistic effect on NO_(x)removal,thereby improving the NO_(x)removal efficiency.Whereas Fe^(2+) had an inhibitory effect on the NO_(x)removal owing to the reaction between Fe^(2+) and KMnO_(4),thereby consuming the KMnO_(4).Besides,SO_(2)was converted to SO_(4)^(2-) completely partly due to the liquid catalytic oxidation by metal ions.The XRD and XPS results indicated that the Fe(Ⅱ)species(Fe_(2)SiO_(4),Fe_(3)O_(4))in copper slag can react with H+ions with the generation of Fe^(2+),and further consumed the KMnO_(4),thereby resulting in a decrease in the NO_(x)removal.The characterization of the slags and solutions before and after reaction led us to propose the possible mechanisms.The role of copper slag is as follows:(1)the alkaline substances in copper slag can absorb SO_(2)and NO_(2)by KMnO_(4)oxidation.(2)copper slag may function as a catalyst to accelerate SO_(2)conversion and improve NO_(x)removal by synergistic effect between leached metal ions and KMnO_(4).

文摘A newly designed aluminum hydroxide gel-coated nanoscale zero-valent iron(AHG@NZVI)with enhanced activity and dispersibility of NZVI was successfully synthesized.The AHG@NZVI composite was synthesized via control of the surface AHG content.AHG@NZVI-1,AHG@NZVI-2 and AHG@NZVI-3 were prepared under centrifugal mixing speeds of 1000,2000 and 4000 r/min,respectively.The activity of AHG@NZVI was evaluated by its tetracycline(TC) removal efficiency.The effects of AHG content,pH value,reaction temperature,and presence of competitive anions on TC removal were investigated.TC could be removed by both adsorption and chemical reduction on AHG@NZVI-2(centrifugal speed 2000 r/min) in a short time with high removal efficiency(≥98.1%) at the optimal conditions.Such excellent performance can be attributed to a synergistic interaction between aluminum hydroxide gel and NZVI:(1) AHG could enhance the stability and dispersity of NZVI;(2) aluminum hydroxide gel could absorb a certain amount of TC and Fe^2+/Fe^3+,which facilitated the mass transfer of TC onto the NZVI surface,resulting in acceleration of the reduction rate of TC by the AHG@NZVI composite;and(3) AHG-Fe^2+/Fe^3+could absorb a certain amount of TC by flocculation.The kinetics of TC removal by AHG@NZVI composite was found to follow a two-parameter pseudo-first-order model.The presence of competitive anions slightly inhibited the activity of AHG@NZVI systems for TC removal.Overall,this study provides a promising alternative material and environmental pollution management option for antibiotic wastewater treatment.

文摘A newly designed electric assisted micro-electrolysis filter(E-ME) was developed to investigate its degradation efficiency for coking wastewater and correlated characteristics. The performance of the E-ME system was compared with separate electrolysis(SE) and micro-electrolysis(ME) systems. The results showed a prominent synergistic effect on COD removal in E-ME systems. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC–MS) analysis confirmed that the applied electric field enhanced the degradation of phenolic compounds.Meanwhile, more biodegradable oxygen-bearing compounds were detected. SEM images of granular activated carbon(GAC) showed that inactivation and blocking were inhibited during the E-ME process. The effects of applied voltage and initial p H in E-ME systems were also studied. The best voltage value was 1 V, but synergistic effects existed even with lower applied voltage. E-ME systems exhibited some p H buffering capacity and attained the best efficiency in neutral media, which means that there is no need to adjust p H prior to or during the treatment process. Therefore, E-ME systems were confirmed as a promising technology for treatment of coking wastewater and other refractory wastewater.
