A novel ion separation methodology using a cation-exchange membrane modified with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> NPs) coated with polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) is proposed. The separation is performed in an electrodialysis cell, where firstly phosphate is electro-adsorbed to the PHMG@Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> NP coating, followed by a desorption step by applying an electric current. ...[more]

Project description:The significance of the detection of phosphate ions is immense in the realms of chemistry, biology, medicine, environment, and industry. The detection of phosphate ions is currently mainly reliant on blue molybdenum colorimetry, which is accurate but requires sample pretreatment, intricate operation, and a high price tag. Consequently, it is essential to create a sensor with superior efficiency, precision, straightforward functioning, and instantaneous online detection. This study has designed and created an electrochemical modification based on an iron metal electrode for this purpose. Cyclic voltammetry was used to initially ascertain the potential (-0.57 V) necessary for constant potential electrolysis. Employing a constant potential electrolysis method, the iron oxide and its phosphate were modified onto the surface of the iron electrode to enable reaction with phosphate ions. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to characterize and analyze the morphology and elemental composition of Fe-PME, elucidating how it responds to phosphate ionation. The two-electrode system was then utilized for the evaluation of the phosphate ion response of Fe-PME at pH 4. Fe-PME's response to phosphate ions is demonstrated by the results, ranging from 10-5 to 0.1 M and with a slope of -52.8 mV dec-1. Fe-PME exhibited satisfactory results when compared to the conventional blue colorimetry of molybdenum.

Project description:Competition for the migration of interfering cations limits the scale-up and implementation of the Donnan dialysis process for the recovery of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) from wastewater in practice. Highly efficient selective permeation of NH4+ through a cation exchange membrane (CEM) is expected to be modulated via tuning the surface charge and structure of CEM. In this work, a novel CEM was designed to form a graphene oxide (GO)-polyethyleneimine (PEI) cross-linked layer by introducing self-assembling layers of GO and PEI on the surface of a commercial CEM, which rationally regulates the surface charge and structure of the membrane. The resulting positively charged membrane surface exhibits stronger repulsion for divalent cations compared to monovalent cations according to Coulomb's law, while, simultaneously, GO forms π-metal cation conjugates between metal cations (e.g., Mg2+ and Ca2+), thus limiting metal cation transport across the membrane. During the DD process, higher NH4+ concentrations resulted in a longer time to reach Donnan equilibrium and higher NH4+ flux, while increased Mg2+ concentrations resulted in lower NH4+ flux (from 0.414 to 0.213 mol·m-2·h-1). Using the synergistic effect of electrostatic interaction and non-covalent cross-linking, the designed membrane, referred to as GO-PEI (20) and prepared by a 20 min impregnation in the GO-PEI mixture, exhibited an NH4+ transport rate of 0.429 mol·m-2·h-1 and a Mg2+ transport rate of 0.003 mol·m-2·h-1 in single-salt solution tests and an NH4+/Mg2+ selectivity of 15.46, outperforming those of the unmodified and PEI membranes (1.30 and 5.74, respectively). In mixed salt solution tests, the GO-PEI (20) membrane showed a selectivity of 15.46 (~1.36, the unmodified membrane) for NH4+/Mg2+ and a good structural stability after 72 h of continuous operation. Therefore, this facile surface charge modulation approach provides a promising avenue for achieving efficient NH4+-selective separation by modified CEMs.

Project description:Boron silicate (BS) with a chabazite framework structure was synthesised using a direct route and rigorously characterized before it was ion-exchanged with copper to form Cu-BS. Employing in situ infrared spectroscopy, we show that Cu-BS is capable of oxidising methane to methoxy species and methanol interacts with the boron sites without deprotonation.

Project description:Adsorption is an important technology for the separation of different tea components. The adsorption behavior of L-theanine onto adsorbents was comprehensively studied in this paper. Among tested adsorbents, cation exchange resin ZGSPC106Na and D001SD were suitable for separating L-theanine, PVPP and PA-6 for catechins and macroporous resin HPD-400 for caffeine. Adsorption of L-theanine onto the cation resins was significantly influenced by the acidity, contact time and temperature. The adsorption behavior could be described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation and fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich models. ZGSPC106Na exhibited higher adsorption capacity, while D001SD showed higher adsorption selectivity. These might be attributed to the distinctive structure of the two resins and different ionization of the adsorbates. A method for simultaneous preparation of decaffeinated polyphenols, caffeine-enriched extract and decaffeinated L-theanine was established through successive separation on the columns fulfilled with PA-6, HPD-400 and D001SD, respectively.

Project description:Coating of ion exchange membranes used in electrodialysis with layers of polyelectrolytes is a proven approach that allows for the increasing of the limiting current, the suppressing of sedimentation, the controlling of the intensity of generation of H+ and OH- ions, and also the improving of monovalent selectivity. However, in the case when two materials with the opposite sign of the charge of fixed groups come in contact, a bipolar boundary is created that can cause undesirable changes in the membrane properties. In this work, we used a MK-40 heterogeneous membrane on the surface of which a layer of polyethyleneimine was applied by adsorption from a solution as a model of heterogeneous membranes modified with oppositely charged polyelectrolyte. It was found that, on one hand, the properties of modified membrane were beneficial for electrodialysis, its limiting current did not decrease and the membrane even acquired a barrier to non-selective electrolyte transport. At the same time, the generation of H+ and OH- ions of low intensity arose, even in underlimiting current modes. It was also shown that despite the presence of a layer of polyethyleneimine, the surface charge of the modified membrane remained negative, which we associate with low protonation of polyethyleneimine at neutral pH.

Project description:The adsorption of elemental mercury (Hg0) on activated carbons modified with 0.2, 0.6, and 1 M HCl is systematically examined. Breakthrough curves are measured, and coupled adsorption and desorption experiments with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) are performed. The experiments show that impregnation with HCl produces surface-bound chlorine, which significantly increases the capacity of activated carbons for mercury. Physisorptive interactions between elemental mercury and the activated carbon surface dominate on the basic materials. In contrast, on HCl-modified activated carbons, chemisorptive interactions of Hg0 with surface-bound chlorine lead to a complex involving carbon, chlorine, and mercury. Using TPD, two mechanisms could be identified that yield reaction products with different energetic values. By continuously recording Hg0 and Hgtotal concentrations, the formation of Hg0 and Hg x Cl2 during desorption of the complexes from the surface could be studied. It is shown that Hg x Cl2 found in TPD is not present as a solid salt in the pores but is formed by thermal degradation of the mercury chlorine complex on the carbon surface. The mass fraction of Hg measured in TPD which is bound in Hg x Cl2 depends on the Hg loading of the activated carbons, with a maximum mass fraction of 27%. We propose that an important step in the chemisorptive reaction with increasing mercury loading is the conversion of a HgCl2 complex into a Hg2Cl2 complex.

Project description:Phosphorus is an essential and limited nutrient that is supplied by a depleting resource, mineral phosphate rock. Eutrophication is occurring in many water bodies which provides an opportunity to recover this nutrient from the water. One method of recovery is through adsorption; this study focused on fabricating a porous and granular adsorptive material for the removal and recovery of phosphate. Magnesium carbonate was combined with cellulose in varying weight ratios (0, 5, 10, 15, 20%) to synthesize pellets, which were then calcined to increase internal surface area. Physiochemical properties such as surface area, surface morphology, elemental composition, and crystal structure of the materials were characterized using Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The pellet proved to be uniform in composition and an increase in BET surface area correlated with an increase in cellulose content until pellet stability was lost. Phosphate adsorption using the pellets was studied via batch kinetics and sorption isotherms. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model fits best suggesting that the adsorption occurring was chemisorption. The isotherm model that fit best was the Langmuir isotherm, which showed that the maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity increased with an increase in cellulose content between 10% and 20%. The average adsorption capacity achieved in the triplicate isotherm study was 96.4 mg g-1 for pellets synthesized with 15% cellulose. Overall, using cellulose and subsequent calcination created an additional internal surface area for adsorption of phosphate and suggested that granular materials can be modified for efficient removal and recovery of phosphate from water.

Project description:The dynamic adsorption/desorption performances of modified hierarchical USY zeolites treated with an ammonia solution (NH4OH) at different concentrations were investigated using gas-phase toluene as an indicator. The characterization results indicated that the ammonia treatment could result in the expansion of microporous channels and the formation of a mesoporous structure without evident decrease in crystallinity. The experiment results regarding dynamic adsorption/desorption performances revealed that the mass transfer resistance of modified USY adsorbents were greatly reduced treating with NH4OH. Among the modified samples, the 0.1 mol L-1 NH4OH treated USY adsorbent exhibited large adsorptive capacity and highest desorption rate, which show good cyclic performance that could preserve its adsorbent capacity after 20 cycles. In contrast, pristine USY samples had lost around 28% of the initial adsorption capacity after 20 cycles. Moreover, the NaOH-treated sample showed great crystallinity decline compared to the NH4OH-treated samples due to excessive silicon atom leaching from the USY framework, and had lower adsorption capacity under humid conditions. Therefore, NH4OH-modified USY zeolites could be promising adsorbents for the adsorption/desorption process of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Project description:The hydrophobic adsorption is an alternative to traditional organic solvent extraction for the recovery and purification of Penicillin G (PenG). However, there is a lack of information concerning the effect of process variables and technical feasibility while balancing product degradation. After assessing the integrity of PenG under different conditions, Amberlite XAD-4 was selected from among three different adsorbents. During the batch process using only 0.05 gXAD-4/mLmedium, the adsorption yield increased from 36% at pH 6 to 44% at pH 4. More than 90% of the antibiotic was captured from the fermentation broth using 0.083 gXAD-4/mLmedium in a 45 min batch performed at pH 4 and 4 °C. Moreover, there was no PenG degradation. The desorption conditions were evaluated, and 95% of the antibiotic could be recovered in only one batch using water-ethanol, which is an unexplored PenG desorption process. The results showed selective adsorption, indicating that the process can also be useful for purification purposes. Hydrophobic adsorption with ethanol desorption is efficient, scalable, and green and could be used in place of traditional methods or in extractive fermentation.

Project description:Arsenic (As) is a dangerous contaminant in drinking water which displays cogent health risks to humans. Effective clean-up approaches must be developed. However, the knowledge of adsorption-desorption behavior of As on modified biochars is limited. In this study, the adsorption-desorption behavior of arsenate (AsV) by single iron (Fe) and binary zirconium-iron (Zr-Fe)-modified biosolid biochars (BSBC) was investigated. For this purpose, BSBC was modified using Fe-chips (FeBSBC), Fe-salt (FeCl3BSBC), and Zr-Fe-salt (Zr-FeCl3BSBC) to determine the adsorption-desorption behavior of AsV using a range of techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed the partial reduction of pentavalent AsV to the more toxic trivalent AsIII form by FeCl3BSBC and Zr-FeCl3BSBC, which was not observed with FeBSBC. The Langmuir maximum AsV adsorption capacities were achieved as 27.4, 29.77, and 67.28 mg/g when treated with FeBSBC (at pH 5), FeCl3BSBC (at pH 5), and Zr-FeCl3BSBC (at pH 6), respectively, using 2 g/L biochar density and 22 ± 0.5 °C. Co-existing anions reduced the AsV removal efficiency in the order PO4 3- > CO3 2- > SO4 2- > Cl- > NO3 -, although no significant inhibitory effects were observed with cations like Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+. The positive correlation of AsV adsorption capacity with temperature demonstrated that the endothermic process and the negative value of Gibbs free energy increased (-14.95 to -12.47 kJ/mol) with increasing temperature (277 to 313 K), indicating spontaneous reactions. Desorption and regeneration showed that recycled Fe-chips, Fe-salt, and Zr-Fe-salt-coated biochars can be utilized for the effective removal of AsV up to six-repeated cycles.
