Preparation of a Highly Porous Carbon Material Based on Quinoa Husk and Its Application for Removal of Dyes by Adsorption.

ABSTRACT: A porous carbon material was prepared from quinoa husk (QH) by carbonization and chemical activation with KOH. A series of experiments, including SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared), XRD (X-ray diffraction), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N₂ adsorption/desorption, were carried out on the porous carbon produced from quinoa husk (PC⁻QH). The results showed that PC⁻QH was mainly composed of activated carbon and graphite. Moreover, PC⁻QH exhibited a high level of porosity with a BET (the Brunauer⁻Emmett⁻Teller theory) surface area of 1713 m² g^-1. As a representative dye, malachite green (MG) was selected to evaluate the performance of PC⁻QH to absorb the contaminants in dyeing wastewater. In batch adsorption experiments, PC⁻QH exhibited a high adsorption rate toward malachite green (MG). An uptake capacity of 599.90 mg g^-1 was achieved in the initial 5 min, and the MG adsorption capacity of PC⁻QH reached 1365.10 mg g^-1, which was higher than many other adsorbents. The adsorption data were well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. PC⁻QH also displayed a high absorption rate to rhodamine B (RhB), methyl violet (MV), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO). The results in this study suggest that PC⁻QH can be a promising adsorbent for quick treatment of dyeing wastewater.

Hierarchically porous silicon-carbon-nitrogen hybrid materials towards highly efficient and selective adsorption of organic dyes.

Project description:The hierarchically macro/micro-porous silicon-carbon-nitrogen (Si-C-N) hybrid material was presented with novel functionalities of totally selective and highly efficient adsorption for organic dyes. The hybrid material was conveniently generated by the pyrolysis of commercial polysilazane precursors using polydivinylbenzene microspheres as sacrificial templates. Owing to the Van der Waals force between sp-hybridized carbon domains and triphenyl structure of dyes, and electrostatic interaction between dyes and Si-C-N matrix, it exhibites high adsorption capacity and good regeneration and recycling ability for the dyes with triphenyl structure, such as methyl blue (MB), acid fuchsin (AF), basic fuchsin and malachite green. The adsorption process is determined by both surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion. According to the Langmuir model, the adsorption capacity is 1327.7 mg·g(-1) and 1084.5 mg·g(-1) for MB and AF, respectively, which is much higher than that of many other adsorbents. On the contrary, the hybrid materials do not adsorb the dyes with azo benzene structures, such as methyl orange, methyl red and congro red. Thus, the hierarchically porous Si-C-N hybrid material from a facile and low cost polymer-derived strategy provides a new perspective and possesses a significant potential in the treatment of wastewater with complex organic pollutants.

Hydrophobic Magnetic Porous Material of Eichhornia crassipes for Highly Efficient Oil Adsorption and Separation.

Project description:Many oil adsorption materials are composed of nonrenewable raw materials, and their disposal can increase resource consumption and cause new environmental pollution. In this paper, the carbonized Eichhornia crassipes (CEC) were immobilized with Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and modified with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFOS) to prepare an oil adsorption material, referred to here as CEC/Fe3O4/PFOS. The magnetic and mechanical strength of the CEC was enhanced by adding Fe3O4 magnetic particles, which enable it efficient to dispose the oil/water solution. CEC/Fe3O4/PFOS shows high porosity (83.53%), low skeletal density (0.487 g/cm3), excellent magnetism, ultrahigh oil absorption capacity (49.94-140.90 g/g), hydrophobic performances with a water contact angle of 150.1 ± 2.3°, and a sliding angle of 10.5°. It is worth noting that the material can be recycled, and the absorbed oil is obtained by distillation. Therefore, this work may provide a candidate for solving the problem of oil pollution using E. crassipes.

Cellulose Nanofibril/Carbon Nanomaterial Hybrid Aerogels for Adsorption Removal of Cationic and Anionic Organic Dyes.

Project description:Advances in nanoscale science and engineering are providing new opportunities to develop promising adsorbents for environmental remediation. Here, hybrid aerogels are assembled from cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and carbon nanomaterials to remove cationic dye methylene blue (MB) and anionic dye Congo red (CR) in single and binary systems. Two classes of carbon nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplates (GnPs), are incorporated into CNFs with various amounts, respectively. The adsorption, mechanics and structure properties of the hybrid aerogels are investigated and compared among different combinations. The results demonstrate CNF-GnP 3:1 hybrid exhibits the best performance among all composites. Regarding a single dye system, both dye adsorptions follow a pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic and monolayer Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The maximal adsorption capacities of CNF-GnP aerogels for MB and CR are 1178.5 mg g-1 and 585.3 mg g-1, respectively. CNF-GnP hybrid show a superior binary dye adsorption capacity than pristine CNF or GnP. Furthermore, nearly 80% of MB or CR can be desorbed from CNF-GNP using ethanol as the desorption agent, indicating the reusability of this hybrid material. Hence, the CNF-GnP aerogels show great promise as adsorption materials for wastewater treatment.

Preparation of ZnO-Incorporated Porous Carbon Nanofibers and Adsorption Performance Investigation on Methylene Blue.

Project description:To improve the adsorption performance of carbon materials, novel ZnO nanoparticle-incorporated porous carbon nanofibers (Zn@PCNFs) were prepared via an electrospinning technique. A facile one-step fabrication strategy was proposed to simultaneously complete the carbonization of a peroxided polyacrylonitrile framework, the activating treatment caused by ZnO reducing to Zn, and the pore generation caused by evaporation of reduced Zn with a low melting point. The influences of the pH, ion category, and concentration on methylene blue adsorption were investigated. The physical-chemical characterizations showed that ZnO was homogeneously distributed on the nanofibers and micropores were generated. The adsorption results revealed that an efficient adsorption was obtained within a large range of pH values through different adsorption models, which was accelerated by increasing the temperature. Therefore, the novel Zn@PCNFs are anticipated to be applied in the future as an effective dye waste adsorbent.

Comparative Study of Three Dyes' Adsorption onto Activated Carbon from <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> Willd and <i>Quillaja saponaria</i>.

Project description:The present study shows porous activated carbon obtained from Chenopodium quinoa Willd and Quillaja saponaria and their use as potential adsorbents to remove three types of dyes from aqueous solutions. The adsorption results were compared with commercial charcoal to check their efficiency. All porous carbon materials were activated using carbon dioxide and steam and fully characterized. Moreover, the steam-activated samples exhibited a high total pore volume with a BET surface area of around 800 m2 g-1. Batch adsorption experiments showed that commercial charcoal is the charcoal that offered the best adsorption efficiency for tartrazine and sunset yellow FCF. However, in the case of crystal violet, all activated carbons obtained from Chenopodium quinoa Willd and Quillaja saponaria showed the best captures, outperforming commercial charcoal. Molecular dockings of the dyes on the commercial charcoal surface were performed using AutoDock Vina. The kinetic results of the three isotherm's models for the present data follow the order: Langmuir~Freundlich > Temkin.

Preparation of Hierarchically Porous Graphitic Carbon Spheres and Their Applications in Supercapacitors and Dye Adsorption.

Project description:Hierarchical micro-/mesoporous graphitic carbon spheres (HGCS) with a uniform diameter of ~0.35 ?m were synthesized by Fe-catalyzed graphitization of amorphous carbon spheres resultant from hydrothermal carbonization. The HGCS resultant from 3 h at 900 °C with 1.0 wt % Fe catalyst had a high graphitization degree and surface area as high as 564 m²/g. They also exhibited high specific capacitance of 140 F/g at 0.2 A/g and good electrochemical stability with 94% capacitance retention after consecutive 2500 cycles. The graphitization degree of the HGCS contributed to 60% of their specific capacitance, and their specific capacitance per unit surface area was as high as 0.2 F/m², which was much higher than in the most cases of porous amorphous carbon materials reported before. In addition, the HGCS showed a high adsorption capacity of 182.8 mg/g for methylene blue (MB), which was 12 times as high as that in the case of carbon spheres before graphitization.

Preparation of Activated Carbon Doped with Graphene Oxide Porous Materials and Their High Gas Adsorption Performance.

Project description:It is still a great challenge to develop a new porous carbon adsorbent with excellent separation performance and to recover low-concentration CH4 in coal mine gas. This work provides a new idea for the study of CH4 adsorption on activated carbon (AC) composites. Composite materials with microporous structures were prepared from coconut-shell activated carbon (CAC) doped with graphene oxide (GO) by a chemical activation process in this paper. The expansion and dissociation of GO at high temperatures indirectly improve the specific surface area (SSA) of the composite. The interlayer aggregation is reduced, the activation effect is improved, and a new low-cost adsorption material is prepared. The SSA of CAC-50 is more than 3000 m2·g-1. A high SSA and a narrow pore size distribution lead to a higher total adsorption capacity of CH4. The breakthrough test also confirmed that AC/GOs had a better adsorption capacity for CH4. The separation performance of the CH4/N2 mixture is not good at room temperature, which is due to the influence of a high SSA and average pore size. As a low-cost and rich material, CAC has a wide range of application prospects. The composite is a potential material for recovering low-concentration CH4 from the coal mine, which is worthy of attention. In the future, the selectivity of AC/GOs to CH4 can be increased by loading functional groups or modification.

Preparation and characterization of rice husk adsorbents for phenol removal from aqueous systems.

Project description:Rice husk is a base adsorbent for pollutant removal. It is a cost-effective material and a renewable resource. This study provides the physicochemical characterization of chemically and thermally treated rice husk adsorbents for phenol removal from aqueous solutions. We revealed new functional groups on rice husk adsorbents by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and observed major changes in the pore structure (from macro-mesopores to micro-mesopores) of the developed rice husk adsorbents using scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, we studied their surface area and pore size distribution, and found a greater enhancement of the morphological structure of the thermally treated rice husk compared with that chemically treated. Thermally treated adsorbents presented a higher surface area (24-201 m2.g-1) than those chemically treated (3.2 m2.g-1). The thermal and chemical modifications of rice husk resulted in phenol removal efficiencies of 36%-64% and 28%, respectively. Thus, we recommend using thermally treated rice husk as a promising adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous solutions.

Facile and Scalable Preparation of Graphene Oxide-Based Magnetic Hybrids for Fast and Highly Efficient Removal of Organic Dyes.

Project description:This study reports the facile preparation and the dye removal efficiency of nanohybrids composed of graphene oxide (GO) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles with various geometrical structures. In comparison to previously reported GO/Fe3O4 composites prepared through the one-pot, in situ deposition of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the GO/Fe3O4 nanohybrids reported here were obtained by taking advantage of the physical affinities between sulfonated GO and Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which allows tuning the dimensions and geometries of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in order to decrease their contact area with GO, while still maintaining the magnetic properties of the nanohybrids for easy separation and adsorbent recycling. Both the as-prepared and regenerated nanohybrids demonstrate a nearly 100% removal rate for methylene blue and an impressively high removal rate for Rhodamine B. This study provides new insights into the facile and controllable industrial scale fabrication of safe and highly efficient GO-based adsorbents for dye or other organic pollutants in a wide range of environmental-related applications.

Preparation of Polyaniline/Emulsion Microsphere Composite for Efficient Adsorption of Organic Dyes.

Project description:Surface-functionalized polymeric microspheres have wide applications in various areas. Herein, monodisperse poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) (PSMA) microspheres were prepared via emulsion polymerization. Polyaniline (PANI) was then coated on the PSMA surface via in situ polymerization, and a three-dimensional (3D) structured reticulate PANI/PSMA composite was, thus, obtained. The adsorption performance of the composite for organic dyes under different circumstances and the adsorption mechanism were studied. The obtained PANI/PSMA composite exhibited a high adsorption rate and adsorption capacity, as well as good adsorption selectivity toward methyl orange (MO). The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity for MO was 147.93 mg/g. After five cycles of adsorption-desorption, the removal rate remained higher than 90%, which indicated that the adsorbent has great recyclability. The adsorbent materials presented herein would be highly valuable for the removal of organic dyes from wastewater.
