Procedure I consisted of n-hexane or petroleum ether together with acetone used as solvents, while Procedure contained several solvents including acetone, methanol, dichloromethane, and n-hexane or petroleum ether. Experimental results indicated that a mixture of petroleum ether/acetone (2:1, v/v) could be used in place of n-hexane/acetone (2:1, v/v) as it was a less expensive solvent system. In addition, shaking under a water bath at 20 °C was more effective than sonication. Also, Procedure I was more effective, safer, and more timesaving than Procedure Procedure I was applied to three soil types of different organic matter content, with recoveries of the OPPs from the yellow-brown soils, which had a higher organic matter content, being lower than those from the yellow and red soils.展开更多

The surface morphology and internal structure of the membrane were observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The effects of MWCNTs content on various aspects of membrane performance such as porosity, water flux, and antifouling characteristics were investigated. Results showed that proper addition of MWCNTs would improve the properties of the membrane. MWCNTs had a strong adsorption capacity for industrial dyes and the composite membrane could be used as an effective method to identify and clean up illegal dyes in foods. In addition, this new method for iden- tifying dyes is rapid： the cleanup procedure in the determination of illegal dyes in foods by the composite membrane was shortened to 30 min or less compared to 6-8 h for traditional methods.展开更多

Impure minerals in sepiolite can be removed by fully agitating the sepiolite suspension to which a few amount of disperser has been added. After being purified and activated, fine sepiolite particles present prior properties such as increased specific area,better dispersiveness and increased adsorptivity, moreover, the pulping ratio can be raised from original 4-5m3/2 to 20m3 /t. The process with simple technique and utilizing cheap chemical agents extends the application of low-grade sepiolite.展开更多

For these studies, silica aerogel granules were prepared by two step acid– base catalyzed sol–gel process, involving ambient pressure drying of alcogels, were made use for absorption & desorption studies of different organic liquids. The optimal molar ratio of precursors tetraethoxysilane (TEOS):Methanol (MeOH):Oxalic acid:NH4OH:NH4F:trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) was kept constant at 1:16.5:0.71:0.58:0.60:0.98, respectively. In all, four alkanes, four aromatic compounds, four alcohols and three oils were used for absorption and desorption studies of organic liquids. The absorption capacity of aerogel sample was quantified by measuring the mass of the organic liquid absorbed by unit mass of the aerogel sample. The hydrophobic aerogel granules showed a very high uptake capacity and high rate of uptake. The desorption of solvents and oils was studied by keeping the liquid absorbed aerogel granules at various temperatures and weighing them at regular time intervals until all the absorbed liquid got totally desorbed. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the aerogel structure was not much affected by the solvent absorption, while the oil absorption led to the shrinkage, resulting in a dense structure after desorption.展开更多

However, traditional oil sorbents exhibit low oil/water separation efficiency and/or low oil-sorption capacity. In this study, an ultra-high performance graphene/polyurethane （PU） sponge has been successfully obtained by in situ polymerization in the presence of graphene dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone （NMP）. During polymerization, the NMP/graphene dispersion not only serves as a weak amine catalyst for the formation of the sponge, but promotes fixation of the graphene sheets in the framework of the PU sponge owing to the strong dipole interaction between NMP and graphene. The as-prepared graphene/PU sponge was used as an absorbing material for the continuous removal of oil from oil-spill water. The graphene/PU sponge can continuously and rapidly remove oils from immiscible oil/water mixtures in corrosive solutions, including strong acids and bases, hot water, and ice water, with an excellent separation efficiency of above 99.99%. In addition, the as-prepared graphene/PU sponge was effective in separating surfactant-stabilized emulsions with a high separation efficiency of 〉99.91%.展开更多
