The maximum removal of lanthanide ions takes place under the following conditions： 0.1 g of sorbent mass, pH 4 and 360 rain contact time for all studied initial concentrations of solutions. Kinetics of La（Ⅲ）, Ce（Ⅲ） and Nd（Ⅲ） ions sorption proceeded by a fast initial uptake reached equilibrium. This process was modelled by means of the pseudo first order, pseudo second order, intraparticle diffusion and Elovich models. The desorption of three lanthahide ions by nitric, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids at a concentration of 1 mol/L from biochar composites was also studied. In order to investigate the sorption mechanism FFIR, XRD and XPS analyses were performed after sorption of ions from the mixture.展开更多

The experimental results show that the Zn^2＋ removal efficiency decreases gradually with the increase of the Cd^2＋ concentration of the solution, and there is no sorption preference between Cd^2＋ and Zn^2＋. On the other hand, the Zn^2＋ removal efficiency rapidly decreases rapidly with the increase of the Cu^2＋ concentration of the solution, and there is a clear sorption preference between Cu^2＋ and Zn^2＋. It is noticed that the Zn^2＋ removal efficiency is hardly changed with the variance of Pb^2＋ concentration because the removal mechanisms for these two ions are totally different. It is concluded that the adsorption affinities of the heavy metals for the hydroxyapatite follows this sequence： pb^2＋〉 Cu^2＋〉 Cd^2＋〉 Zn^2＋.展开更多

The first step was a novel hydrotalcite-like compound (HTLC) synthesized by a co-precipitating method, under standard ambient temperature and pressure, using chemical industry wastewater rich in divalent and trivalent cations, activated by a thermal treatment and finally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The second step was a series of batch sorption tests performed with this activated HTLC and untreated underground sulfurous water from the state of Puebla, México. The HTLC calcined at 500°C/3 h exhibited the best sorption ability for ions, demonstrated a decrease of the hardness and sulfate ions to below the regional legal standards for drinking water. Once inactive after being used in water treatment, the sorbed ions were removed by ion exchange in a carbonate-containing solution, resulting in an 80% recycling of the material which upon activation demonstrated a retained capacity for water treatment. This recyclability suggests the exciting possibility of this novel compound as an efficient “green” technology in water treatment processes.展开更多

The performance of the fixed bed sorption was evaluated using the concept of the sorption breakthrough process. Parameters characteristic of a fixed bed sorption such as breakthrough times,saturation times, critical reactor lengths, and lengths of mass transfer zone were inferred from the metal ion concentration breakthrough curves. The sorption capacity of Dowex 50 W-X8 ion-exchange resin for Ce3+, Sm3+, and Yb3+ are 191, 252, and 294 mg/g, respectively. The sorption kinetics were evaluated using a zero-order, first-order and second-order reaction models. The kinetics of the sorption process follows a zero-order model which has not been reported before. The rate constants of sorption using the zero-order kinetic model are obtained. Two different analysis were conducted to identify whether the diffusion is intraparticle or film diffusion. Both analysis confirms that the film diffusion is the controlling mechanism in reactor bed.展开更多

The sorption rate of Eu was initially low, but significantly increased at pH>4. The sorption density of Eu species on a silica surface was ～1.58×10 -7 mol/m2 when the dissolved Eu species were completely sorbed onto silica-water interfaces at pH=～5.8. The sorbed Eu species at pH<6 is aquo Eu 3+, which is sorbed onto silica-water interfaces as an outer-sphere complex at pH<5, but may be sorbed as an inner-sphere bidentate complex at 5<pH<6, due to the decrease of N H 2O to ～6 at pH=6. At pH=6-8.5, Eu(OH)+ 2, Eu(CO 3)+ and Eu(CO 3)- 2 formed in the solutions, and Eu(CO 3)+ is dominant at pH=～7.5. These ions may be sorbed onto silica-water interfaces as inner-sphere bidentate complexes.展开更多

The silicate-incorporated hydroxyapatite was prepared by coprecipitation and calcining, and silicate was incorporated into the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite by partial substitution of phosphate. The amount of cadmium ions removed by silicate-incorporated hydroxyapatite was significantly elevated, which was 76% higher than that of pure hydroxyapatite. But the sorption behavior of cadmium ions on silicate-incorporated hydroxyapatite was similar to that of pure hydroxyapatite. Morphological study revealed that silicate incorporation confined the crystal growth and increased the specific surface area of hydroxyapatite, which were in favor of enhancing the cadmium ion sorption capacity of the samples. Incorporation of silicate into hydroxyapatite seems to be an effective approach to improve the environmental property of hydroxyapatite on removal of aqueous cadmium ions.展开更多

Different parameters affecting the sorption and elution process, including temperature, pH values as well as the ratio of resin to solution, were investigated. The results show that sorption degree of vanadium（V） increases with a decrease ofpH values, and V（V） ions are easier sorbed than Si（IV） and AI（III） ions under the same conditions. The sorption degree ofV（V）, Si（IV）, and AI（III） at pH 9.14 for 15 man are 90.6%, 33.5%, and 21.6%, respectively. Si（IV）, AI（III）, and V（V） ions sorbed on 717 resin were eluted by use of 2 mol·L^-1 NaOH solution; the desorption degree ofV（V）, Si（IV）, and AI（III） for 5 min are 81.7 %, 99.1%, and 99.3%, respectively.展开更多

The simulated IR spectrum at the DFT B3 LYP/6-31 G（d） level was compared to the experimental results to characterize the IR spectrum, molecular interactions, and bonding of the ion exchanged species. The continuous liquid flow reactor studies show a capacity of 0.72 mmol/g sorbent for the Ce nitrateand 0.96 mmol/g sorbent for the Ce sulfate with the Dowex 50 W X8. The flow reactor studies reveal the type of solute anion（SO_4^（（2-）） or NO_3^（（-））） associated with the REE during cation exchange significantly affects the sorption capacity of the Dowex 50 W X8 ion exchange resin. The calculated REE binding energy（BE） and the DFT optimized structures suggest that the differences in sorption capacity is the result of the formation of different types of partially ionexchanged Ce_2^（（3＋））2 SO_4^（（2-）） and Ce^（（3＋）） 3 NO_3^（（-））. These results suggest that the solute anion affects the equilibrium constants of the Dowex resin by the formation of a charged layer capable of retaining the counterion. Modifying the sulfonic acid site（H＋） in the Dowex 50 W X8 with the NH_4~＋ counterion does not affect the sorption capacity and retention times of the Ce nitrate and Ce sulfate species. These results suggest that the counterions and co-ions having a finite size, may limit access to the Dowex sulfonate active site where the type of REE cation as a nitrate or sulfate in solution may significantly modify the sorption capacity of the ion exchange resin. Similar results are obtained during sorption with nitrates and sulfates of Sm and Yb.展开更多

文摘In this paper we are describing a green cycle process. The first step was a novel hydrotalcite-like compound (HTLC) synthesized by a co-precipitating method, under standard ambient temperature and pressure, using chemical industry wastewater rich in divalent and trivalent cations, activated by a thermal treatment and finally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The second step was a series of batch sorption tests performed with this activated HTLC and untreated underground sulfurous water from the state of Puebla, México. The HTLC calcined at 500°C/3 h exhibited the best sorption ability for ions, demonstrated a decrease of the hardness and sulfate ions to below the regional legal standards for drinking water. Once inactive after being used in water treatment, the sorbed ions were removed by ion exchange in a carbonate-containing solution, resulting in an 80% recycling of the material which upon activation demonstrated a retained capacity for water treatment. This recyclability suggests the exciting possibility of this novel compound as an efficient “green” technology in water treatment processes.
