A grand canonical Monte Carlo method is used for the prediction of adsorption isotherms of methanol on an activated carbon at the molecular level. The adsorption isotherms obtained in the linear region （or adsorption constant） are exploited as a model parameter required for the adsorption process simulation. The adsorption process model described by a set of partial differential equations （PDEs） is solved by using the conservation element and solution element method, which produces a fast and an accurate numerical solution to PDEs. The simulation results obtained from the adsorption constant estimated at the molecular level are in good agreement with the experimental results of the pulse response. The systematical multiscale simulation approach addressed in this study may be useful to accelerate the adsorption process development by reducing the number of experiments.展开更多

The initial dye concentration was in the range of 100-1,800 mg/L. The dried algal sorbent was ground and sieved into 3 sizes： S （0.1-0.84 mm）, M （0.84-2.0 mm）, and L sizes （larger than 2.0 mm）. For all conditions examined in this work （at 25℃ in batch systems）, the adsorption reached equilibrium within the first hour. The kinetic data corresponded well with the pseudo second order kinetic model where the rate constant, k2, decreased as the sorbent size increased for all dyes. The adsorption isotherms followed both Langmuir and Freundlich models. Among three sorbent sizes, S size gave the highest adsorption capacity followed by M and L sizes. A reduction of sorbent size increased the specific surface area for mass transfer, and also increased the total pore volume, thus providing more active sites for adsorption. The adsorption of AB was adversely influenced by the protonation of algal surface at low pH. On the other hand, the adsorption of AR and AY could be due to weak electrostatic interaction, which was not significantly affected by pH. Increasing salinity of the system caused a decrease in adsorption capacity possibly due to the competition between Na^＋ and the dye cations for the binding sites on algal surface. Moreover, an increase in salinity generated a compressed electrical double layer on the algal surface which exerted repulsive force, retarding the adsorption of positive charged molecules such as the basic dyes.展开更多

The pellets as biosorbent showed strong salt and acid tolerance in biosorption process. The results for dye adsorption showed that the biosorption process fitted well with models of pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 263.2 mg·g^(-1) mycelium. During 6 batches of continuous decolorization operation, the mycelial pellets could possess efficient decolorization abilities(>98.5%).The appearance of new peak in the UV–Vis spectral result indicated that the decolorization process may also contain biodegradation. The mechanism studies showed that efficient biosorption ability of pellets only relies on the active zone on the surface of the pellet, which can be enhanced by nutrition supplement or be shifted outward by a reculture process.展开更多

The experiments were performed in Erlenmeyer flasks and spore suspension was used for inoculation. The results show that the mechanism of dye removal by penicillium terrestre is biosorption and the growing pellets exhibit higher adsorptive capacity than the resting or dead ones. The maximum removals of disperse blue 2BLN, reactive brilliant blue KN-R, acid anthraquinone blue and bromamine acid at the concentration of 120 mg/L by biosorptionof growing pellets are 10096, 100%, 96% and 91%, respectively. The 100.0% and 91.4% KN-R removals are achieved respectively at the much higher concentration of 250 and 400 mg/L. 2.5 g/L glucose is sufficient for 100% KN-R removal by growing pellets. Salinity （NaCl） increase from 0 to 2% （W/ V） moderately accelerates both mycelium growth and KN-R removal.展开更多

文摘Given the current depletion of energy resources and the escalating severity of environmental issues,it is of utmost importance to develop sustainable materials capable of detecting harmful substances and removing adverse environmental impacts.Herein,a rare-earth-free white-light-emitting MOF Cd-PNMI(PNMI,N-(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphathalene-tetracarboxy-monoimide),deriving from an idea that involves the construction of a strong white-light-emitting MOFs using a weak white-light-emitting ligand PNMI with d^(10)metal based on ligand-to-ligand charge transfer(LLCT)luminescent mechanism,was designed and confirmed using time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT)calculations.As a sustainable white-light-emitting material,CdPNMI can not only detect explosive and highly toxic substances at low limits of detection(LOD)but also adsorb the dyes from waste liquids.The CdPNMI emulsion demonstrated ratiometric sensing with remarkable dual-emission fluorescence quenching for nitro explosive and highly toxic substances,which was confirmed to be the result of a synergetic contribution of photo-induced electronic transfer(PET)and Förster resonance energy transfer(FRET)quenching mechanism.Due to the distinctive structure character,CdPNMI also exhibited rapid,selective and extensive adsorption for Rhodamine B(RhB)and fluorescein(FITC)dye,contributing to the elimination of these pollutants from waste liquids.
