Surfactant-free synthesis of octahedral ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterostructure with ultrahigh and selective adsorption capacity of malachite green.

ABSTRACT: A new octahedral ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterostructure has been fabricated through a facile surfactant-free solvothermal method followed by thermal treatment. It exhibits a record-high adsorption capacity (up to 4983.0?mg·g(-1)) of malachite green (MG), which is a potentially harmful dye in prevalence and should be removed from wastewater and other aqueous solutions before discharging into the environment. The octahedral ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterostructure also demonstrates strong selective adsorption towards MG from two kinds of mixed solutions: MG/methyl orange (MO) and MG/rhodamine B (RhB) mixtures, indicating its promise in water treatment.

Adsorption of Malachite Green by extracellular polymeric substance of <i>Lysinibacillus</i> sp. SS1: kinetics and isotherms.

Project description:Use of novel biological materials as adsorbents for removal of xenobiotics is gaining significance owing to their exceptional advantages. An extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) produced by Lysinibacillus sp. SS1 had rough porous surface as observed by SEM analysis. Adsorption ability of EPS was estimated against various textile dyes such as Malachite Green (MG), Methyl Orange, Congo Red and Coomassie Blue. About 82% of MG (100 mg/L) was adsorbed onto 2.5 mg EPS within 30 min. Effect of MG concentration, EPS weight, agitation speed and incubation time on adsorption, studied by one factor at a time approach, revealed that adsorption was influenced by all factors. Maximum adsorption of 99.01 ± 0.61% was achieved at 100 mg/L MG, 10 mg EPS, 120 RPM in 75 min with maximum adsorption capacity of 247.5 mg/g. Kinetics was affected by MG and EPS amounts, with shift from pseudo first to pseudo second order with increase in concentration. Adsorption of MG by EPS of Lysinibacillus sp. SS1 was identified as unilayer chemisorption as it followed Langmuir isotherm with maximum adsorption capacity (Q m ) of 178.57 mg/g (R 2 = 0.9889). This is the first report on potential of EPS produced by Lysinibacillus sp. SS1 as novel biodegradable adsorbent with high efficacy of MG removal from aqueous solutions.

Adsorption of Malachite Green and Alizarin Red S Dyes Using Fe-BTC Metal Organic Framework as Adsorbent.

Project description:Synthetic organic dyes are widely used in various industrial sectors but are also among the most harmful water pollutants. In the last decade, significant efforts have been made to develop improved materials for the removal of dyes from water, in particular, on nanostructured adsorbent materials. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive class of hybrid nanostructured materials with an extremely wide range of applications including adsorption. In the present work, an iron-based Fe-BTC MOF, prepared according to a rapid, aqueous-based procedure, was used as an adsorbent for the removal of alizarin red S (ARS) and malachite green (MG) dyes from water. The synthesized material was characterized in detail, while the adsorption of the dyes was monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. An optimal adsorption pH of 4, likely due to the establishment of favorable interactions between dyes and Fe-BTC, was found. At this pH and at a temperature of 298 K, adsorption equilibrium was reached in less than 30 min following a pseudo-second order kinetics, with k″ of 4.29 × 10-3 and 3.98 × 10-2 g∙mg-1 min-1 for ARS and MG, respectively. The adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model with maximal adsorption capacities of 80 mg∙g-1 (ARS) and 177 mg∙g-1 (MG), and KL of 9.30·103 L∙mg-1 (ARS) and 51.56·103 L∙mg-1 (MG).

Mechanism and isotherm modeling of effective adsorption of malachite green as endocrine disruptive dye using Acid Functionalized Maize Cob (AFMC).

Project description:Cationic Malachite green has been identified as a candidate for the endocrine disruptive compound found in the environment. In this study, the mechanism and isotherm modeling of effective adsorption of cationic malachite green dye onto acid-functionalized maize cob (AFMC) was investigated by batch technique. The operational parameters such as initial concentration (100-600 mg/L); contact time (10-120 min) and pH (3-10) influenced the removal efficiency and quantity adsorbed. A maximum of 99.3% removal efficiency was obtained at optimum conditions. AFMC physicochemical properties (surface area 1329 m2/g and particle size 300 μm < Ф < 250 μm) enhanced its efficiency. Based on R2 > 0.97 and consistently low values of adsorption statistical error functions (ASEF), equilibrium data were best fitted to Freundlich isotherm. Kinetic data were best described by a pseudo-second-order model with consistent R2 > 0.98 and validated by ASEF. The mechanism of the process was better described by intraparticle diffusion. Evidence of the adsorption process was confirmed by the change in morphology via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and surface chemistry by Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR). The performance of AFMC enlisted it as a sustainable and promising low-cost adsorbent from agro-residue for treatment of endocrine disruptive dye polluted water.

Novel Ultrahigh-Performance ZnO-Based Varistor Ceramics.

Project description:The nonlinear response of a material to an external stimulus is vital in fundamental science and technical applications. The power-law current-voltage relationship of a varistor is one such example. An excellent example of such behavior is the power-law current-voltage relationship exhibited by Bi2O3-doped ZnO varistor ceramics, which are the cornerstone of commercial varistor materials for overvoltage protection. Here, we report on a sustainable, ZnO-based varistor ceramic, without the volatile Bi2O3, that is based on Cr2O3 as the varistor former and oxides of Ca, Co, and Sb as the performance enhancers. The material has an ultrahigh α of up to 219, a low IL of less than 0.2 μA/cm2, and a high Eb of up to 925 V/mm, making it superior to state-of-the-art varistor ceramics. The results provide insights into the design of materials with specific characteristics by tailoring states at the grain boundaries. The discovery of this ZnO-Cr2O3-type varistor ceramic represents a major breakthrough in the field of varistors for overvoltage protection and could drastically affect the world market for overvoltage protection.

Insight into the Adsorption and Photocatalytic Behaviors of an Organo-bentonite/Co3O4 Green Nanocomposite for Malachite Green Synthetic Dye and Cr(VI) Metal Ions: Application and Mechanisms.

Project description:A green composite of organically modified bentonite supported by Co3O4 nanoparticles (OB/Co) was successfully fabricated and investigated as a potential eco-friendly, low-cost adsorbent and photocatalyst for promising removal of both malachite green dye (MG.D) and Cr(VI) ions. The composite showed high adsorption properties and achieved experimental q max values of 223 and 139 mg/g for MG.D and Cr(VI) after equilibration times of 360 min and 480 min for the inspected contaminants, respectively. The kinetic and equilibrium inspection reflected the best description of their adsorption behaviors by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. This revealed favorable and homogeneous uptake of both MG.D and Cr(VI) in a monolayer form with theoretical Langmuir q max values of 343.6 and 194.5 mg/g, respectively. The theoretical adsorption energies of MG.D (0.6 kJ/mol) and Cr(VI) (0.5 kJ/mol) from the Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) model revealed physisorption properties that might be resulted from some types of Coulombic attractive forces, achieving theoretical q max values of 226.5 and 144.6 mg/g, respectively. The suggested adsorption mechanism was confirmed by the main mathematical parameters of thermodynamic studies that revealed physical, spontaneous, and exothermic uptake processes. Also, the composite showed high photocatalytic performance under visible light, which resulted in a 100% removal percentage of 100 mg/L of MG.D and Cr(VI) after about 180 and 240 min, respectively, from the adsorption equilibrium time.

Efficient Adsorption-Photocatalytic Removal of Tetracycline Hydrochloride over Octahedral MnS.

Project description:To disclose the effect of crystal plane on the adsorption-photocatalytic activity of MnS, octahedral MnS was prepared via the hydrothermal route to enhance the adsorption and photocatalytic efficiencies of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in visible light region. The optimal MnS treated at 433 K for 16 h could remove 94.83% TCH solution of 260 mg L-1 within 180 min, and its adsorption-photocatalytic efficiency declined to 89.68% after five cycles. Its excellent adsorption-photocatalytic activity and durability were ascribed to the sufficient vacant sites of octahedral structure for TCH adsorption and the feasible band-gap structure for visible-light response. In addition, the band gap structure (1.37 eV) of MnS with a conduction band value of -0.58 eV and a valence band value of 0.79 eV was favorable for the generation of O2-, while unsuitable for the formation of OH. Hence, octahedral MnS was a potential material for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater.

Simultaneous Adsorption of Malachite Green and Methylene Blue Dyes in a Fixed-Bed Column Using Poly(Acrylonitrile-Co-Acrylic Acid) Modified with Thiourea.

Project description:Proper remediation of aquatic environments contaminated by toxic organic dyes has become a research focus globally for environmental and chemical engineers. This study evaluates the adsorption potential of a polymer-based adsorbent, thiourea-modified poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid) (T-PAA) adsorbent, for the simultaneous uptake of malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) dye ions from binary system in a continuous flow adsorption column. The influence of inlet dye concentrations, pH, flow rate, and adsorbent bed depth on adsorption process were investigated, and the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally. Results revealed that the sorption capacity of the T-PAA for MG and MB increase at high pH, concentration and bed-depth. Thomas, Bohart-Adams, and Yoon-Nelson models constants were calculated to describe MG and MB adsorption. It was found that the three dynamic models perfectly simulate the adsorption rate and behavior of cationic dyes entrapment. Finally, T-PAA adsorbent demonstrated good cyclic stability. It can be regenerated seven times (or cycles) with no significant loss in adsorption potential. Overall, the excellent sorption capacity and multiple usage make T-PAA polymer an attractive adsorbent materials for treatment of multicomponent dye bearing effluent in a fixed-bed column system.

A malachite green-based assay to assess glucan phosphatase activity.

Project description:With the recent discovery of a unique class of dual-specificity phosphatases that dephosphorylate glucans, we report an in vitro assay tailored for the detection of phosphatase activity against phosphorylated glucans. We demonstrate that, in contrast to a general phosphatase assay using a synthetic substrate, only phosphatases that possess glucan phosphatase activity liberate phosphate from the phosphorylated glucan amylopectin using the described assay. This assay is simple and cost-effective, providing reproducible results that clearly establish the presence or absence of glucan phosphatase activity. The assay described will be a useful tool in characterizing emerging members of the glucan phosphatase family.
