Factors affecting the attachment of functional groups were investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by Elemental Analysis (EA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Cellulose adsorbent was then tested for its potential applications in the reduction adsorption oftrichloroacetic acid (TCAA) from aqueous solutions.展开更多

The in fluence of the shaping conditions on the microstructure of the shaped samples was characterized by the XRD, BET, and SEM techniques. The results demonstrate that the compressive strength of the various shaped tablets is greatly increased and capable of meeting the industrial requirements compared to the unshaped ZIF-8 and that the loss rate of speci fic surface areas was maintained at 10% after the addition of 10%(by mass) binder and 10%(by mass) solvent. The adsorption isotherms of CO2, CH4, C3H8, and C3H6 on powdery ZIF-8and the shaped tablets(T-shaped ZIF-8, C-shaped ZIF-8, and N-shaped ZIF-8) were determined through volumetric measurements under different pressures and temperatures(298.2, 323.2, and 348.2 K). The adsorption capacities of the gases on both the ZIF-8 powder and the shaped tablets follow the order C3H6 N C3H8N CO2 N CH4. Furthermore,the results show that the adsorption capacities of the gases on the shaped tablets are lower by approximately 10%–20% than those on the powdery ZIF-8. In fact, the adsorption equilibrium isotherms for CO2, CH4, C3H8, and C3H6 on both powdery and shaped ZIF-8 can be well described by the Langmuir equation.展开更多

The physical properties of the samples were characterized by means of numerous techniques, including X-ray diffraction(XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), selected-area electron diffraction(SAED), UV–visible spectroscopy(UV–vis), N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The efficiency for the removal of Cr(VI) was determined.Parameters such as pH value and initial Cr(VI) concentration could influence the Cr(VI) removal efficiency or adsorption capacity of the Nb2O5/carbon fiber sample obtained after hydrothermal treatment at 160°C for 14 hr. The maximal Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of the Nb2O5 nanowire/CF sample was 115 mg/g. This Nb2O5/CF sample also showed excellent photocatalytic activity and stability for the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) under UV-light irradiation: the Cr(VI) removal efficiency reached 99.9% after UV-light irradiation for 1 hr and there was no significant decrease in photocatalytic performance after the use of the sample for 10 repeated cycles. Such excellent Cr(VI) adsorption capacity and photocatalytic performance was related to its high surface area,abundant surface hydroxyl groups, and good UV-light absorption ability.展开更多

As ferrihydrite is thermodynamically unstable and gradually transforms into hematite and goethite, the stability of Cr(Ⅵ)-adsorbed ferrihydrite is environmentally significant. This study investigated the phase transformation of Cr(Ⅵ)-adsorbed ferrihydrite at different pH in the presence of aqueous Mn(Ⅱ), as well as the fate of Mn(Ⅱ) and Cr(Ⅵ) in the transformation process of ferrihydrite. Among the ferrihydrite transformation products, hematite was dominant, and goethite was minor. The pre-adsorbed Cr(Ⅵ) inhibited the conversion of ferrihydrite to goethite at initial pH 3.0, whereas little amount of adsorbed Mn(Ⅱ) favored the formation of goethite at initial pH 7.0. After the aging process, Cr species in solid phase existed primarily as Cr(Ⅲ) in the presence of Mn(Ⅱ) at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0. The aqueous Mn concentration was predominantly unchanged at initial pH 3.0, whereas the aqueous Mn(Ⅱ) was adsorbed onto ferrihydrite or form Mn(OH)_(2) precipitates at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0, promoting the immobilization of Cr(Ⅵ). Moreover, the oxidation of Mn(Ⅱ) occurred at initial pH 7.0 and 11.0, forming Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)(hydr)oxides.展开更多
