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:In this study, calcium ferrites with different Ca : Fe atomic ratios (1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 3 and 2 : 1) were prepared from Ca and Fe nitrates treated at 300, 700 and 900 °C and evaluated for phosphate adsorption and recovery from wastewater. TG, XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, SEM, VSM magnetic measurements, and BET analyses showed the formation of two different calcium ferrite phases, i.e., CaFe2O4 and Ca2Fe2O5 at 700 and 900 °C. The adsorption results indicated that the formation of calcium ferrite structure is critical for phosphate adsorption/recovery. Evaluation of the pH, initial phosphate concentration, contact time, coexisting ions and desorption conditions showed remarkable adsorption capacities of 62-75 mg g-1 for CaFe1:2-700 and 28-43 mg g-1 for CaFe1:2-900. The phosphate adsorption on the Ca ferrite surfaces is so strong that the recovery/desorption showed limited efficiencies, e.g., 15-39%.

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: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: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 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.

Project description:A new functional AlNi-pillared clays (AlNi-PILC) with a large surface area and pore volume was synthesized. The performance of adsorption/desorption-catalytic combustion over CeO2-modified Pd/AlNi-PILC catalysts was also studied. The results showed that the d001-value and specific surface area (SBET) of AlNi-PILC reached 2.11 nm and 374.8 m²/g, respectively. The large SBET and the d001-value improved the high capacity for benzene adsorption. Also, the strong interaction between PdCe mixed oxides and AlNi-PILC led to the high dispersion of PdO and CeO? on the support, which was responsible for the high catalytic performance. Especially, 0.2% Pd/12.5% Ce/AlNi-PILC presented high performance for benzene combustion at 240 °C and high CO? selectivity. Also, the combustion temperatures were lower compared to the desorption temperatures, which demonstrated that it could accomplish benzene combustion during the desorption process. Furthermore, its activity did not decrease after continuous reaction for 1000 h in dry air, and it also displayed good resistance to water and the chlorinated compound, making it a promising catalytic material for the elimination of volatile organic compounds.

Project description:The mass-transfer process of l-tryptophan (l-Trp) in the hydrophobic interaction/ion-exchange mixed-mode resin HD-1 particles and fixed bed was studied experimentally and theoretically. The adsorption kinetics of l-Trp in single-component and multicomponent adsorption systems was investigated under different pH conditions. The co-adsorption of sodium ions (Na+) and l-Trp anions was found to be negligible. A modified liquid-film linear driving force model considering the physical adsorption of l-Trp zwitterions and anions as well as ion exchange of l-Trp cations was proposed. The dissociation equilibria of l-Trp molecules and functional groups on the resin were introduced in the model. The model could well fit the kinetic adsorption curves of l-Trp at different pH values. The presence of Na+ and the impurity amino acid l-glutamic acid (l-Glu) did not significantly affect the mass-transfer rate of l-Trp. The dynamic adsorption processes of l-Trp under different pH and concentration conditions were studied. A modified transport-dispersive model considering axial diffusion, liquid-film mass transfer, and a combined physical adsorption and ion-exchange equilibrium was established, which could predict the adsorption breakthrough curves of l-Trp well. During the dynamic adsorption process, the pH of mobile phase in the fixed bed changed with changing the l-Trp concentration in the mobile phase. l-Trp was well separated from Na+ and l-Glu with the purity of l-Trp higher than 99%, the recovery rate higher than 95%, and a concentration of 4.69 × 10-3 mol/L. The elution chromatographic peaks of l-Trp, l-Glu, and Na+ and the pH of the outlet solution were predicted satisfactorily.
