Removal of Chromates and Sulphates by Mg/Fe LDH and Heterostructured LDH/Halloysite Materials: Efficiency, Selectivity, and Stability of Adsorbents in Single- and Multi-Element Systems.

ABSTRACT: Industrial wastewaters often contain mobile and toxic anions that cannot be removed by precipitation techniques and most known adsorbents. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are excellent scavengers of anions; however, their use in real applications is of minor importance owing to their swelling behavior and high cost of production. The performed research shows the possibility of obtaining Mg/Fe LDH using natural magnesite. Moreover, heterostructured LDH/halloysite materials were synthesized. The adsorption efficiency of these materials was very high in both single- and multi-element systems, confirming the LDH selectivity. This was with the exception of wastewaters containing a high concentration of chlorides, which clearly hampered the removal of Cr(VI) and S(VI). The measurements indicated that LDH dissolution took place to a small extent (<10 wt%). The LDH/halloysite materials showed lower efficiency than the raw LDH; however, the clay presence has several benefits in terms of future applications: (i) it significantly reduces the pH, especially in contrast to the calcined LDH, which enables the reuse or safe disposal of purified water; (ii) it reduces swelling of the composite, which opens the possibility for applications in column adsorption; (iii) it induces dual adsorption properties through additional cation adsorption; and (iv) it substantially lowers the price of the adsorbent.

Performance of Halloysite-Mg/Al LDH Materials for Aqueous As(V) and Cr(VI) Removal.

Project description:This research focused on the investigation of layered double hydroxide (LDH)/halloysite materials' adsorption efficiency and mechanisms in reactions with aqueous As(V) and Cr(VI) in a broad pH range. The materials consisting of Mg/Al LDH and halloysite were synthesized using both direct precipitation and physical mixing methods. The XRD, FTIR, DTA, SEM and XPS methods were used to evaluate the quality of the obtained materials and get insight into removal mechanisms. The XRD, FTIR and DTA confirmed LDH formation and showed the dominating presence of intercalated carbonates in the LDH structure. The SEM of the materials revealed characteristic agglomerates of layered LDH particles deposited on halloysite tubular forms. The raw LDH phases showed high removal efficiency of both As(V) and Cr (VI) for initial pH in the range of 3-7. In the studied concentration range the materials containing 25 wt % of LDH exhibited a removal efficiency very similar to the raw LDH. In particular, the halloysite presence in the materials' mass had a positive effect in the reactions with As(V), which was removed by chemisorption. At a low pH the LDH component underwent partial dissolution, which lowered the adsorption efficiency. Apart from the anion exchange mechanism at a low pH the Cr(VI) was removed via formation of MgCrO4 with Mg (II) being released from the LDH structure. The XPS spectra for As(V) did not show changes in oxidation state in the reactions. In turn, a partial reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was observed, especially at a high pH. The use of materials composed of two different minerals is promising due to reduction of costs as well as prevention of adsorbent swelling. This opens the possibility of its use in dynamic adsorption flow through systems.

Magnetic Mg-Fe/LDH Intercalated Activated Carbon Composites for Nitrate and Phosphate Removal from Wastewater: Insight into Behavior and Mechanisms.

Project description:This experimental work focused on the synthesis, characterization, and testing of a unique, magnetically separable, and eco-friendly adsorbent composite material for the advanced treatment and efficient removal of nitrate and phosphate pollutants from wastewater. The MgAl-augmented double-layered hydroxide (Mg-Fe/LDH) intercalated with sludge-based activated carbon (SBAC-MgFe) composites were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, BET, VSM, SEM, and TEM techniques, revealing homogeneous and efficient dispersion of MgFe/LDH within the activated carbon (AC) matrix, a highly mesoporous structure, and superparamagnetic characteristics. The initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature parameters were optimized in order to reach the best removal performance for both pollutants. The maximum adsorption capacities of phosphate and nitrate were found to be 110 and 54.5 mg/g, respectively. The competition between phosphate and coexisting ions (Cl-, CO32-, and SO42-) was studied and found to be remarkably lower in comparison with the nitrate adsorption. The adsorption mechanisms were elucidated by kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic modeling, and post-adsorption characterizations of the composite. Modeling and mechanistic studies demonstrated that physisorption processes such as electrostatic attraction and ion exchange mainly governed the nitrate and phosphate adsorption. The composite indicated an outstanding regeneration performance even after five sequences of adsorption/desorption cycles. The fabricated composite with magnetically separable characteristics can be used as a promising adsorbent for the removal of phosphate and nitrate pollutants from wastewater.

Synthesis of Fe/Mg-Biochar Nanocomposites for Phosphate Removal.

Project description:Magnetic biochar derived from agricultural biomass has been recognized as a cost-effective biochar sorbent for phosphate removal. This study evaluated the use of novel Fe/Mg-biochar nanocomposites (WBC1x), prepared by impregnating ground walnut shell in a solution with a different molar ratio of Fe2+ to Mg2+, then pyrolyzing slowly, at a temperature of 600 °C, to remove phosphate. The results showed that MgO and Fe3O4 were loaded onto the biochar successfully through the impregnation-pyrolysis method and the composites were able to be separated easily by magnetic field. Meanwhile, a higher surface area and point of zero charge on WBC1x were observed compared to the non-magnetic biochar (WBC). Moreover, the isothermal adsorption and kinetics data further suggested the that phosphate adsorption onto WBC1x resulted from chemisorption. Additionally, the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of WBC1x was 6.9 mg.g-1, obtained though the Langmuir-Freundlich model, which was threefold higher than WBC, where MgO addition could enhance the adsorption capacity of WBC1x markedly by improving the surface charge.

Mg/Al LDH Enhances Sulfate removal and Clarification of AMD Wastewater in Precipitation Processes.

Project description:The sulfate removal from acid mine drainage (AMD) water (initial concentration: 5301 mg/L) was investigated by precipitation and/or adsorption using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and synthetic layered double hydroxide (LDH) of the Mg/Al type. The exclusive use of LDH efficiently removed sulfates (64.2% reduction); however, alteration of its structure was observed due to low pH. The use of Ca(OH)2 in different doses calculated in relation to gypsum stoichiometry allowed to achieve an 86% removal of sulfates. Depending on the equilibrium pH, gypsum or ettringite were the main identified phases. The two-step removal, involving the use of Ca(OH)2 followed by LDH, was less efficient than the use of the Ca(OH)2/LDH mixture when the stoichiometric amount of Ca(OH)2 in relation to gypsum was applied. The application of mixture resulted in a fast pH increase, which prevented destruction of the LDH structure. Most importantly, the use of mixture significantly reduced the sludge volume and enhanced its settling velocity.

Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@C Core-Shell Carbon Hybrid Materials as Magnetically Separable Adsorbents for the Removal of Dibenzothiophene in Fuels.

Project description:Herein, we demonstrate a new class of core-shell magnetic carbon hybrid materials (Fe3O4@C) for remarkable adsorptive desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT), which have been successfully prepared through hydrocarbonization of glucose on the surface of Fe3O4 and the subsequent pyrolyzation process. The as-obtained Fe3O4@C retains amorphous nature of carbon shells with a large surface area and displays an increase of iron atoms as active sites under elevated pyrolyzation temperature which is favorable in the adsorption of sulfur-containing species through physical and chemical adsorption, respectively. We investigate the adsorption capacity and efficiency of Fe3O4@C as a magnetically adsorbent for the removal of DBT in model oils under various experimental conditions including the adsorbent obtained at different temperatures, the amount of adsorbents, the DBT initial concentration, the regeneration approach, as well as the interference species. Our results demonstrated that the as-obtained Fe3O4@C at 650 °C (Fe3O4@C-650) displays a remarkable estimated adsorption performance (57.5 mg DBT/g for 200 ppmw), extraordinary high desulfurization efficiency (99% for 200 ppmw), and a high selectivity for DBT compared with its derivatives. Moreover, Fe3O4@C can be recovered in a quite easy, economical, and eco-friendly manner by an external magnet after five cycles without significant weight loss, which significantly simplifies the operation procedure and favors the recycle of Fe3O4@C. Combined with the economic and eco-friendly merits, Fe3O4@C offers a new avenue to employ the magnetic carbon materials for industrial applications and provides a promising substitute for adsorptive desulfurization in view of academic, industrial, and environmental aspects.

Fumonisin B1 Interaction with Mg-Al and Mg-Fe Layered Double Hydroxides: Removal Efficiency and Mechanisms.

Project description:Mycotoxins in feed and food are highly toxic and pose a serious danger even at very low concentrations. The use of bentonites in animal diet can reduce toxin bioavailability. However, some mycotoxins like fumonisin B1 (FB1) form anionic species which excludes the use of negatively charged clays. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) with anion-exchange properties, in theory, can be perfect candidates to adsorb FB1. However, fundamental research on the use of LDH for mycotoxins removal is scarce and incomplete. Thus, the presented study was designed to explore such a possibility. The LDH materials with differing chemistry and layer charge were synthesized by co-precipitation both from metal nitrates and chlorides and were then tested for FB1 removal. XRD, FTIR, XPS, and chemical analysis were used for the LDH characterization and to obtain insight into the removal mechanisms. A higher adsorption capacity was observed for the Mg/Al LDH samples (~0.08-0.15 mol/kg) in comparison to the Mg/Fe LDH samples (~0.05-0.09 mol/kg) with no difference in removal efficiency between Cl and NO3 intercalated LDH. The adsorption capacity increased along with lower layer charge of Mg/Al and was attributed to the lower content of bonded carbonates and the increase of non-polar sites which led to matching between the adsorption domains of LDH with FB1. The FTIR analysis confirmed the negative effect of carbonates which hampered the adsorption at pH 7 and led to the highest adsorption at pH 5 (FB1 content ~15.8 ± 0.75 wt.%). The fast surface adsorption (1-2 min) was dominant and XRD analysis of the basal spacing indicated that no FB1 intercalation occurred in the LDH. The XPS confirmed a strong interaction of FB1 with Mg sites of LDH at pH 5 where the interaction with FB1 carboxylate moieties COO- was confirmed. The research confirmed a high affinity and selectivity of LDH structures towards anionic forms of FB1 mycotoxin.

Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Superadsorbent Fe3O4-PEG-Mg-Al-LDH Nanocomposites for Ultrahigh Removal of Organic Dyes.

Project description:Considering the huge demands for economical and reliable eco-remediation applications, the goal of the present work is to synthesize cost-effective and functionally efficient magnetic layered nanocomposite adsorbents for the effective adsorption of dyes followed by easy separation from wastewater. This would ensure good reusability of adsorbents without altering its adsorption capacity in a relatively short time manner. To achieve this, different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified Fe3O4 combined with Mg-Al-layered double hydroxides (MAN-LDH) were synthesized and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The efficacy of various adsorption parameters for the removal of methyl orange (MO) from water using Fe3O4-PEG-Mg-Al-LDH (FPL) adsorbents with different molecular weights of PEG (2FPL, 4FPL, and 6FPL) were investigated, and the results were compared. The maximum adsorption capacities of 2FPL, 4FPL, and 6FPL for MO were found to be 775.19, 826.44, and 833.33 mg/g, respectively. Detailed adsorption studies confirm that the higher adsorption capacity of 6FPL is due to the fast exchange of anions (NO3 -) by MO in the interlayers of MAN-LDH, larger surface area, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent. The thermodynamic data indicate that the adsorption behavior is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The reusability of all FPL adsorbents is observed to be excellent. The MAN-LDH recoated after the 31st-cycle nanocomposites show a recovery of 100% adsorption efficiency, similar to the freshly prepared 6FPL. Such systematic studies greatly help in advancing the applications of newly functionalized nanomaterials toward eco-remediation approaches.

LDH Nanocubes Synthesized with Zeolite Templates and Their High Performance as Adsorbents.

Project description:In this work, the efficiency of the adsorptive removal of the organic cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from polluted water was examined using three materials: natural clay (zeolite), Zn-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH), and zeolite/LDH composite. These materials were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) diffraction (XRF), low-temperature N2 adsorption, pore volume and average pore size distribution and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The properties of the applied nanomaterials regarding the adsorption of MB were investigated by determining various experimental parameters, such as the contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH. In addition, the adsorption isotherm model was estimated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was the best-fitting for all applied nanomaterials. In addition, the kinetics were analyzed by using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models, and the pseudo-second-order model was an apparent fit for all three applied nanomaterials. The maximum Adsorption capacity toward MB obtained from the materials was in the order zeolite/LDH composite > zeolites > Zn-Fe LDH. Thus, the zeolite/LDH composite is an excellent adsorbent for the removal of MB from polluted water.
