Using 8.0 mol/L HNO3 as the eluent, Ba and associated elements were eluted immediately from the column, whereas Sr was strongly retained. The adsorbed Sr could then be stripped from the column as the eluent was changed to 0.05 mol/L HNO~. Complete Sr/Ba separation was demonstrated to be feasible in that Ba could be washed from the column leaving pure Sr by adequate rinsing with 8.0 mol/L HN03. Furthermore, matrix effect could be effectively eliminated and the selectivity of the method was improved. The method was applied for the determination of Sr in the high purity barium carbonate （BaCO3） product and seawater. The recoveries of Sr in 2 samples were determined to be 93.2% and 109%, respectively.展开更多

The influence of sorbent properties on the adsorptive elimination of PFOS from wastewater by activated carbons, polymer adsorbents and anion exchange resins was investigated with regard to their isotherms and kinetics. The batch and column tests were combined with physicochemical characterization methods, e.g., N2 physisorption, mercury porosimetry, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, titrations, as well as modeling. Sorption kinetics was successfully modelled applying the linear driving force（LDF） approach for surface diffusion after introducing a load dependency of the mass transfer coefficient βs.The big difference in the initial mass transfer coefficient βs,0, when non-functionalized adsorbents and ion-exchange resins are compared, suggests that the presence of functional groups impedes the intraparticle mass transport. The more functional groups a resin possesses and the longer the alkyl moieties are the bigger is the decrease in sorption rate.But the selectivity for PFOS sorption is increasing when the character of the functional groups becomes more hydrophobic. Accordingly, ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction were found to be involved in the sorption processes on resins, while PFOS is only physisorptively bound to activated carbons and polymer adsorbents. In agreement with the different adsorption mechanisms, resins possess higher total sorption capacities than adsorbents. Hence, the latter ones are rendered more effective in PFOS elimination at concentrations in the low μg/L range, due to a less pronounced convex curvature of the sorption isotherm in this concentration range.展开更多
