Project description:Polyaniline hollow microsphere (PNHM)/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites have been synthesized by a novel strategy and characterized. Subsequently, PNHM/Fe3O4-40 (Fe3O4 content: 40 wt.%) was used as an adsorbent for the removal of arsenic (As) from the contaminated water. Our investigations showed 98-99% removal of As(III) and As(V) in the presence of PNHM/Fe3O4-40 following pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 > 0.97) and equilibrium isotherm data fitting well with Freundlich isotherm (R2 > 0.98). The maximum adsorption capacity of As(III) and As(V) correspond to 28.27 and 83.08 mg g-1, respectively. A probable adsorption mechanism based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was also proposed involving monodentate-mononuclear/bidentate-binuclear As-Fe complex formation via legend exchange. In contrast to NO3- and SO42- ions, the presence of PO43- and CO32- co-ions in contaminated water showed decrease in the adsorption capacity of As(III) due to the competitive adsorption. The regeneration and reusability studies of spent PNHM/Fe3O4-40 adsorbent showed ~83% of As(III) removal in the third adsorption cycle. PNHM/Fe3O4-40 was also found to be very effective in the removal of arsenic (<10 μg L-1) from naturally arsenic-contaminated groundwater sample.

Project description:In this article, a study was presented on the adsorption activity of a new nanocomposite particle Fe₃O₄@1, which was synthesized by combining [Cu(HL)₂]₂H₂[P₂Mo₅O23]·10H₂O (1) (HL = 2-acetylpyridine semicarbazone) and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analyses revealed that Fe₃O₄@1 possessed high crystallinity with an average particle size of 19.1 nm. The adsorption activity of the as-prepared Fe₃O₄@1 was investigated by photometrically monitoring the removal of methylene blue, rhodamine B, safranine T, gentian violet, fuchsin basic, and methyl orange from aqueous solutions. Significantly, we could easily separate Fe₃O₄@1 from the reaction media by applying an external magnet. Furthermore, the recycling performance was observed using methylene blue, revealing the recyclability and high stability of Fe₃O₄@1. It was shown that Fe₃O₄@1 is a promising candidate material for adsorbing cationic dyes in aqueous media.

Project description:Fluoride (F) and arsenic (As) are two typical and harmful elements that are found in high concentrations in geothermal water in Tibet. In this work, yak dung, an abundant source of biomass energy in Tibet, was made into biochars (BC1, BC2 and BC3) by pyrolysis under different conditions, and the better biochar was modified by FeCl2 (Fe-BC3). The adsorption conditions were optimized to adsorb F and As in geothermal water. The results showed that BC3 can remove 90% F- and 20% As(V), which is the best effect of the three initial biochars. Fe-BC3 could remove 94% F- and 99.45% As(V) under the same conditions as BC3, which was an adsorbent dosage 10 g l-1, pH 5-6 and temperature of 25°C. It was also demonstrated that the removal rate did not decrease at 80°C. A quasi-second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption behaviour of ions on the surface of the biochar. The maximum adsorption capacity of F- and As(V) on Fe-BC3 was 3.928 mg g-1 and 2.926 mg g-1, respectively. The features of Fe-BC3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, energy-dispersive spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy to understand the adsorption process.

Project description:The contamination of arsenic in human drinking water supplies is a serious global health concern. Despite multiple years of research, sustainable arsenic treatment technologies have yet to be developed. This study demonstrates the intrinsic abilities of cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NP) towards arsenic adsorption and the development of a point-of-use filter for field application. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments were used to examine adsorption, desorption, and readsorption of aqueous arsenite and arsenate by CuO-NP. Field experiments were conducted with a point-of-use filter, coupled with real-time arsenic monitoring, to remove arsenic from domestic groundwater samples. The CuO-NP were regenerated by desorbing arsenate via increasing pH above the zero point of charge. Results suggest an effective oxidation of arsenite to arsenate on the surface of CuO-NP. Naturally occurring arsenic was effectively removed by both as-prepared and regenerated CuO-NP in a field demonstration of the point-of-use filter. A sustainable arsenic mitigation model for contaminated water is proposed.

Project description:Wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly important due to the potential shortage of pure drinking water in many parts of the world. Adsorption offers a potential technique for the uptake of contaminants and wastewater purification. In the last two decades, several efforts have been made to remove fast green (FG) dye from wastewater via different adsorbent materials. However, adsorption capacity shown by these adsorbents is low and time-consuming. Herein, we have synthesized for the first time a new powdered adsorbent ZnOS+C, modified zinc peroxide with sulfur and activated carbon to effectively remove FG dye from wastewater. Results of batch adsorption experiments have suggested that ZnOS+C has the maximum adsorption potential of 238.28 mg/g for FG dye within 120 min of adsorption equilibrium for a wide range of pH ranging from 2 to 10 pH. The adsorption process conforms to the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting a multilayered adsorption process on the outer surface of ZnOS+C. The adsorption kinetics study indicates that the kinetics of the reaction are the intraparticle diffusion model. Briefly, this study shows proof of the application of ZnOS+C powder as a new eco-friendly adsorbent with extremely high efficiency and high surface area for removing FG dye.

Project description:This data article describes a facile method for production of an adsorbent from Tamarix hispida wasted wood and modified by lanthanum metal for fluoride ions removal from wastewater. The main characteristics of the adsorbent consist of BET surface area, functional groups, and elemental analysis is presented. The data for attenuating the pollutants from a real wastewater treatment which was provided from a glass factory is also represented. More than 90% of fluoride content of the real wastewater was treated by the adsorbent. Generally, these data would be informative for extend research aim to industrial wastewater treatment and those who work in the wastewater treatment plants.

Project description:The application and optimal operation of nanoparticle adsorbents in fixed-bed columns or industrial-scale water treatment applications are limited. This limitation is generally due to the tendency of nanoparticles to aggregate, the use of non-sustainable and inefficient polymeric resins as supporting materials in fixed-bed columns, or low adsorption capacity. In this study, magnesium-doped amorphous iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized and immobilized on the surface of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) within a lightweight porous aerogel for arsenic removal from water. The IONPs had a specific surface area of 165 m2 g-1. The IONP-containing CNF aerogels were stable in water and under constant agitation due to the induced crosslinking using an epichlorohydrin crosslinker. The adsorption kinetics showed that both As(III) and As(V) adsorption followed a pseudo second-order kinetic model, and the equilibrium adsorption isotherm was best fitted using the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of CNF-IONP aerogel for As(III) and As(V) were 48 and 91 mg As g-IONP-1, respectively. The optimum IONP concentration in the aerogel was 12.5 wt.%, which resulted in a maximum arsenic removal, minimal mass loss, and negligible leaching of iron into water.

Project description:The reported ability of cysteine and cystine to bind typical arsenic oxy-ions in water is used as a basis for a study of the potential for using a surfactant with a cysteine head-group for selective arsenic binding and removal in an ion flotation process. Several different head-group attachment methods are studied with cysteine and cystine and with single- and double-chain surfactants. A comparison of the properties of these surfactants with some other surface-active compounds, with groups like those on cysteine, suggest that few compounds have suitable characteristics for the efficient removal of low levels of arsenic from drinking water. An amino-acid-based single-chain surfactant is synthesized by reacting cysteine with octanoyl chloride to obtain octanoyl cysteine, which is then used in a study of selective ion flotation for the removal of low levels of arsenic from drinking water. This compound has high water solubility and causes extensive foaming in a typical flotation chamber and removed 99.4-99.9% of the 5 mg L-1 arsenic present in the contaminated water in a simple, single-stage ion flotation process, using either air or nitrogen gas. These laboratory results indicate that these surfactants can be useful in the large-scale treatment of low-level arsenic-contaminated water.

Project description:Graphene nanoplates (GNPs) can be used as a platform for homogeneous distribution of adsorbent nanoparticles to improve electron exchange and ion transport for heavy-metal adsorption. In this study, we report a facile thermal decomposition route to fabricate a graphene-supported Fe-Mg oxide composite. The prepared composite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the arsenic adsorption behavior of the GNP/Fe-Mg oxide composite. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich models were employed to describe the adsorption isotherm, in which the sorption kinetics of the arsenic adsorption process by the composite was found to be pseudo-second-order. Furthermore, the reusability and regeneration of the adsorbent were investigated by an assembled-column filter test. The GNP/Fe-Mg oxide composite exhibited significant fast adsorption of arsenic over a wide range of solution pHs, with exceptional durability and recyclability, which could make this composite a very promising candidate for effective removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions.

Project description:Adsorption of Reactive Black 5 and Congo Red from aqueous solution by coffee waste modified with polyethylenimine was investigated. The removal percentages of both dyes increased with amount of polyethyleneimine in the modified adsorbent. Characterization revealed that polyethyleneimine modification improved the adsorbent surface chemistry, while slight improvement of adsorbent textural properties was also observed. The adsorbent's excellent performance was demonstrated by high removal percentages towards the anionic dyes in most experimental runs. The modelling result showed that anionic dyes adsorption occurred via monolayer adsorption, and chemisorption was the rate-controlling step. The adsorbent possesses higher maximum adsorption capacity towards Reactive Black 5 (77.52?mg/g) than Congo Red (34.36?mg/g), due to the higher number of functional groups in Reactive Black 5 that interact with the adsorbent. This study reveals the potential of adsorbent derived from coffee waste in textile wastewater treatment. Furthermore, surface chemistry modification is proven as an effective strategy to enhance the performance of biowaste-derived adsorbents.
