Preparation and characterization of cornstalk microspheric hydrochar and adsorption mechanism of mesotrione.

ABSTRACT: In this study, cornstalk was pyrolysed to obtain hydrochar (HC), which was used to remove mesotrione from aqueous solutions. HC characterization and batch experiments were conducted to investigate mesotrione adsorption and the underlying mechanism. The characterization revealed microspheres on the HC surface. FT-IR spectra showed that the HC contained a large number of -OH groups, C=C bonds of aromatic rings, C-H groups in aromatic rings and phenolic C-O bonds. The adsorption results showed that the mesotrione adsorption ability gradually increased as the HC preparation temperature increased. The quasi-second-order kinetic equation (R² ≥ 0.9860, p < 0.05) agreed well with the mesotrione adsorption process. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity, which was obtained at pH 7 and 45°C with HC prepared at 240°C, was 3181.7 mg kg^-1 with the Langmuir isotherm model (R² ≥ 0.9491, p < 0.05). Van der Waals and dipole forces and hydrogen bonds were inferred as the main adsorption mechanisms. HC has potential as an effective and energy-saving adsorbent for mesotrione to reduce environmental pollution.

Optimized production, Pb(II) adsorption and characterization of alkali modified hydrochar from sugarcane bagasse.

Project description:Today, sugarcane bagasse (SB) is used for bioethanol and biodiesel production, energy generation, and adsorbent synthesis. The goal of this project is to determine the optimized conditions for producing adsorbent from sugarcane bagasse using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and KOH activation. To optimize process parameters such as reaction temperature, residence time, ZnCl2/SB mixing ratios, and water/SB mixing ratios, response surface methodology was used. The results revealed that the optimum modified adsorption occurred at 180 °C, 11.5 h, a water to biomass ratio of (5:1), and a ZnCl2 to precursor ratio of (3.5:1). The physicochemical features of optimum activated hydrochar were investigated, as well as batch adsorption experiments. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model were found to fit the experimental results in batch adsorption studies [[Formula: see text] (mg/g)]. Thermodynamic experiments further confirmed the spontaneous and exothermic adsorption mechanism.

A Novel Nitrogen Enriched Hydrochar Adsorbents Derived from Salix Biomass for Cr (VI) Adsorption.

Project description:Hydrochars were prepared from Salix by hydrothermal carbonization, and characterized by FT-IR, 13C NMR, XPS, UV-vis, TG, SEM and BET techniques. The results showed that the hydrochars with molecular sieve-type open pore structure contained numbers of oxygen and nitrogen functional groups, which benefited the adsorption and diffusion of adsorbent Cr (VI). The hydrochar obtained from 26?h reaction (HC-26) was indicated an excellent adsorbent compared to the commercial activated carbon, and its maximum removal efficiency for Cr (VI) reaches up to 99.84% at pH 1. Langmuir´s model is well fitted the experimental equilibrium adsorption data of total Cr. The bath experiment results showed that Cr (VI) could be removed rapidly in the first 300?min. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics process of HC-26 could be described by pseudo-second-order model. Based on the above results, HC-26 could be acted as a potential efficient adsorbent for removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution.

Waste-to-wealth application of wastewater treatment algae-derived hydrochar for Pb(II) adsorption.

Project description:Hydrochar, as an energy-lean solid waste, is generated from an advanced biofuel conversion technique hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and always leads to environmental pollution without appropriate disposal. In this study, HTL-derived hydrochar is recycled and prepared as adsorbent used for Pb(Ⅱ) removal from wastewater. As the original porous structure of hydrochar is masked by oily volatiles remained after HTL, two types of oil-removal pretreatment (Soxhlet extraction and CO2 activation) are explored. The result shows that CO2 activation significantly enhances the adsorption capacity of Pb(Ⅱ), and the maximum adsorption capacity is 12.88 mg g-1, as evaluated using Langmuir adsorption model. Further, apart from oily volatiles, most inorganic compounds derived from wastewater-grown algae is enriched in hydrochar, causing a smaller surface area of hydrochar. An ash-removal alkali treatment following CO2 activation is introduced to dramatically increase the adsorption capacity to 25.00 mg g-1 with an extremely low Pb(II) equilibrium concentration of 5.1×10-4 mg L-1, which is much lower than the maximum level of Pb concentration in drinking water (set by World Health Organization). This work introduces an approach to reuse HTL-hydrochar as an inexpensive adsorbent in Pb-contaminated water treatment, which not only provides another possible renewable adsorbent candidate applied in the field of lead adsorption, but also finds an alternative route to reduce solid waste effluent from HTL process.

Functionalized Attapulgite for the Adsorption of Methylene Blue: Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption Mechanism.

Project description:Attapulgite (denoted as APT, also called palygorskite) has been regarded as the green material in the "21st century world" and has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages of low cost, natural abundance, nontoxic nature, and environmental friendliness. However, the limited adsorption sites and surface charges of natural APT greatly hinder its application as an adsorbent in industrial fields. In this work, natural APT was modified with sodium humate (SA) via a facile one-step hydrothermal process to improve its adsorption capacity and systematically studied its ability to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The effect of hydrothermal modification in the presence of SA on the microscopic structure, morphology, and physicochemical properties of APT was studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. The adsorption properties of the modified APT toward MB were evaluated systematically. The results demonstrated that the modified APT has a high adsorption capacity of 227.27 mg/g and also shows a high removal rate up to 99.7% toward MB in a dye solution with an initial concentration of 150 mg/L, which was a 64.7% increase as compared to that of raw APT. The adsorption kinetics could be fitted to the pseudo-second-order model, while the adsorption isotherm could be well-described with the Langmuir model. It was concluded that electrostatic attraction, hydrogen-bonding interaction, and chemical association are the main driving force during the adsorption process.

Hollow Sodium Tungsten Bronze (Na0.15WO3) Nanospheres: Preparation, Characterization, and Their Adsorption Properties.

Project description:We report herein a facile method for the preparation of sodium tungsten bronzes hollow nanospheres using hydrogen gas bubbles as reactant for chemical reduction of tungstate to tungsten and as template for the formation of hollow nanospheres at the same time. The chemical composition and the crystalline state of the as-prepared hollow Na0.15WO3nanospheres were characterized complementarily, and the hollow structure formation mechanism was proposed. The hollow Na0.15WO3nanospheres showed large Brunauer-Emment-Teller specific area (33.8 m2 g-1), strong resistance to acids, and excellent ability to remove organic molecules such as dye and proteins from aqueous solutions. These illustrate that the hollow nanospheres of Na0.15WO3should be a useful adsorbent.

Preparation and Application of a Hydrochar-Based Palladium Nanocatalyst for the Reduction of Nitroarenes.

Project description:In the present study, a novel heterogeneous catalyst was successfully fabricated through the decoration of palladium nanoparticles on the surface of designed Fe3O4-coffee waste composite (Pd-Fe3O4-CWH) for the catalytic reduction of nitroarenes. Various characterization techniques such as XRD, FE-SEM and EDS were used to establish its nano-sized chemical structure. It was determined that Pd-Fe3O4-CWH is a useful nanocatalyst, which can efficiently reduce various nitroarenes, including 4-nitrobenzoic acid (4-NBA), 4-nitroaniline (4-NA), 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (4-NPD), 2-nitroaniline (2-NA) and 3-nitroanisole (3-NAS), using NaBH4 in aqueous media and ambient conditions. Catalytic reactions were monitored with the help of high-performance liquid chromatography. Additionally, Pd-Fe3O4-CWH was proved to be a reusable catalyst by maintaining its catalytic activity through six successive runs. Moreover, the nanocatalyst displayed a superior catalytic performance compared to other catalysts by providing a shorter reaction time to complete the reduction in nitroarenes.

Efficient Removal 17-Estradiol by Graphene-Like Magnetic Sawdust Biochar: Preparation Condition and Adsorption Mechanism.

Project description:The occurrence of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic environments has caused extensive concern. Graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochar was synthesized using potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) to make activated sawdust biochar and applied for the removal of 17-estradiol (E2). The characterization showed that the surface morphology of five graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochars prepared with different preparation conditions were quite different. The specific surface area and pore structure increased with the increment of K2FeO4 addition. The results have shown that graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochar (1:1/900 °C) had the best removal on E2. The experimental results indicated that pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model could describe the adsorption process well, in which the equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe,1) of 1:1/900 °C were 59.18 mg·g-1 obtained from pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 1:1/900 °C were 133.45 mg·g-1 obtained from Langmuir model at 298K. At the same time, lower temperatures, the presence of humic acid (HA), and the presence of NaCl could be regulated to change the adsorption reaction in order to remove E2. Adsorption capacity was decreased with the increase of solution pH because pH value not only changed the surface charge of graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochar, but also affected the E2 in the water. The possible adsorption mechanism for E2 adsorption on graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochar was multifaceted, involving chemical adsorption and physical absorption, such as H-bonding, π-π interactions, micropore filling effects, and electrostatic interaction. To sum up, graphene-like magnetic sawdust biochar was found to be a promising absorbent for E2 removal from water.

Mechanism of resistance to mesotrione in an Amaranthus tuberculatus population from Nebraska, USA.

Project description:Amaranthus tuberculatus is a troublesome weed in corn and soybean production systems in Midwestern USA, due in part to its ability to evolve multiple resistance to key herbicides including 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). Here we have investigated the mechanism of resistance to mesotrione, an important chemical for managing broadleaf weeds in corn, in a multiple herbicide resistant population (NEB) from Nebraska. NEB showed a 2.4-fold and 45-fold resistance increase to mesotrione compared to a standard sensitive population (SEN) in pre-emergence and post-emergence dose-response pot tests, respectively. Sequencing of the whole HPPD gene from 12 each of sensitive and resistant plants did not detect any target-site mutations that could be associated with post-emergence resistance to mesotrione in NEB. Resistance was not due to HPPD gene duplication or over-expression before or after herbicide treatment, as revealed by qPCR. Additionally, no difference in mesotrione uptake was detected between NEB and SEN. In contrast, higher levels of mesotrione metabolism via 4-hydroxylation of the dione ring were observed in NEB compared to the sensitive population. Overall, the NEB population was characterised by lower levels of parent mesotrione exported to other parts of the plant, either as a consequence of metabolism in the treated leaves and/or impaired translocation of the herbicide. This study demonstrates another case of non-target-site based resistance to an important class of herbicides in an A. tuberculatus population. The knowledge generated here will help design strategies for managing multiple herbicide resistance in this problematic weed species.

Preparation of Chitosan Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and the Recognition Mechanism for Adsorption of Alpha-Lipoic Acid.

Project description:Two effective molecularly imprinted polymers for the adsorption of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) were synthesized by the cross-linking of chitosan with epichlorohydrin (ECH) and glutaraldehyde (GLU), respectively, in the presence of ALA as template molecules. Investigations on the molar ratios of ALA and chitosan (-NH2) in the preparation of chitosan molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were carried out with a factor of ALA rebinding capabilities. The surface morphology and chemical properties of the polymers were characterized. The optimized MIPs crosslinked by ECH (MIPs-ECH) and MIPs crosslinked by GLU (MIPs-GLU) had adsorption capabilities of 12.09 mg/g and 19.72 mg/g for ALA, respectively. The adsorption behaviors of two kinds of chitosan MIPs including adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated in detail. Adsorption and kinetic binding experiments showed that the prepared MIPs-ECH and MIPs-GLU had selective adsorption and excellent affinity for ALA. In addition, the possible binding models between ALA and chitosan oligosaccharide were predicted by molecular dynamics simulation.

Preparation, Characterization and Adsorption Potential of Grainy Halloysite-CNT Composites for Anthracene Removal from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Grainy Hal-CNT composites were prepared from powder halloysite nanoclay (Hal) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The effect of the amount and type of CNTs, as well as calcination temperature on morphology and properties of Hal-CNT composites and their adsorption capacity of anthracene (ANT), were studied. The surface topography of granules was heterogenous, with cracks and channels created during granulation of powder clay and CNTs. In FTIR, spectra were exhibited only in the bands arising from halloysite, due to its dominance in the granules. The increase in the heating temperature to 550 °C resulted in mesoporosity/macroporosity of the granules, the lowest specific surface area (SSA) and poorest adsorption potential. Overall, SSA of all Hal-CNT composites were higher than raw Hal, and by itself, heated halloysite. The larger amount of CNTs enhanced adsorption kinetics due to the more external adsorption sites. The equilibrium was established with the contact time of approximately 30 min for the sample Hal-SWCNT 85:15, while the samples with loading 96:4, it was 60-90 min. Adsorption isotherms for ANT showed L1 type, which is representative for the sorbents with limited adsorption capacity. The Langmuir model described the adsorption process, suggesting a monolayer covering. The sample Hal-SWCNT 85:15 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of ANT, due to its highest SSA and microporous character.
