Batch kinetic, isotherm and pH effect on adsorption were studied to evaluate removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions by ultrafine coal fly ashes comparing with raw coal fly ashes. The kinetics of adsorption indicates the process to be intraparticle diffusion controlled and follows the Lagergren first-order kinetics for all coal fly ashes. The first-order rate constants (k1) of Cr (VI) adsorption onto WSRA, WSUA, BQRA and BQUA are 1.981, 1.497, 2.119 and 1.500 (×10-2) min-1, respectively. The adsorption capacities of WSUA and BQUA are much better than those of WSRA and BQRA. Equilibrium adsorption data of all coal fly ashes well satisfy the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorbed amounts of Cr (VI) onto WSUA and BQUA decrease from pH 2 to pH 6 and then increase up to pH 12.展开更多

The effects of performance parameters such as adsorption time, pH, the adsorbent dosage on Cr(VI) were investigated. Results showed that pH was a very important parameter to the adsorbed efficiency. Removal rate of Cr(VI) approached to 15% under the condition of pH 1.5, adsorbent dosage 1.0 gL-1 and co(initial concentration of Cr)50 mgL-1. The saturated monolayer adsorption quantity was 5.13 mg/g dry BC. The adsorption rate could be well fitted by pseudo-second rate model, adsorption isotherm could be described by Langmuir model, and they have good linear. Typical single-molecule layer adsorption of bacterial cellulose for Cr(VI) could be descripted and electrostatic force was one of the main sorption mechanisms. HCl can desorb the Cr(VI) from the adsorbent effectively.展开更多

The prepared samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, the BrunauerEmmett-Teller analysis, and the Raman spectroscopy. The oxidation and efficiency for removal of SO_2 in a simulated flue gas were investigated experimentally in a fixed-bed reactor. The 15% MWCNTs/Cr-Ti02 sample displayed excellent adsorption properties, and a SO_2 removal rate equating to 30.415 1 mg/g from the simulated flue gas containing 2 300 μg/g of SO_2, 8% of 02, and 5% of H20 was achieved under optimal conditions covering a temperature of 333.15 K, and a space velocity of 1 275 h^(-1). The adsorption process was enhanced because Cr doping modified the pore structure and inhibited the grain growth of TiO_2. In addition, the Freundlich and Langmuir models revealed that SO_2 was mainly adsorbed through chemical adsorption on the sample surfaces, and the thermodynamic model analysis indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous, exothermic, and entropy-reducing process. The adsorption kinetics of SO_2 can be described by the pseudosecond-order kinetic and the Bangham dynamics models. The possible reaction mechanism involved in desulfurization process was also proposed.展开更多

Experiments involved the adaptation of indigenous iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, the pre-acidification the sludge to pH 6.0 and the addition of energy substrates. Results showed the inoculation of mixture of ingenuous iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and co-addition of Fe2+ and elemental sulfur accelerated acid production and increase of oxidation-reduction potential originating from the bio-oxidation of Fe2+ and elemental sulfur. Dissolved Cr concentration increased concomitant with pH decreased in the sludge and reached its maximum removal of 95.6%. The amelioration of the odor of bioleached sludge could be noted. However, 20.4% of N, 24.5% of P and 14.3% of organic matter were lost in the bioleaching process. The residual Cr content in the leached tannery sludge was acceptable for use in agriculture. This study had shown the feasibility of applying the bioleaching process, developed for sewage sludge, to tannery sludge with high Cr.展开更多

Batch experiments were conducted to examine kinetics, adsorption isotherm, p H effect,and thermodynamic parameters. Equilibrium was attained within 50 min and maximum removal of 97.34%was achieved under the optimum conditions at p H 5. Adsorption data for Cr(VI) uptake by the QCMS were analyzed according to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption models. The maximum uptake of Cr(VI)was 39.1 mg·g^(-1). Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption system were determinated at 293 K, 303 K,313 K and 323 K.(ΔH° = 16.08 k J·mol^(-1);ΔG° =- 5.84 to- 8.08 k J·mol^(-1)and ΔS° = 74.81 J·K^(-1)·mol^(-1)).So the positive values of both ΔH° and ΔS° suggest an endothermic reaction and increase in randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption. ΔG° values obtained were negative indicating a spontaneous adsorption process. The kinetic process was described by a pseudo-second-order rate equation very well. The results of the present study indicated that the QCMS could be considered as a potential adsorbent for Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions.展开更多

With the increase of loading proportion of chitosan, Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@chitosan composites increased from 10.771 to 21.040 mg/g. The optimum adsorption capacities of Cr(VI) on Fe3O4@chitosan-3 were found in a pH range of 3.0-5.0. Kinetic study results show that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order model, indicating that the rate-limiting step in the adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) involves chemisorptions. Moreover, FT-IR spectra analysis confirms that the amine and hydroxyl groups of chitosan are predominantly responsible for binding. Results from this work demonstrate that the prepared Fe3O4@chitosan composites possess great potential in Cr(Ⅵ) removal from contaminated water.展开更多

In this work, the kinetics, isotherms of Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption and their removal by SPR were investigated. The results show that the removal percentages of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) increase with increasing SPR dosage and temperature and decrease with increasing SPR particle size and the initial concentration of chromium ions. However, the influence of pH value on the Cr( Ⅵ) removal differs from that of the Cr( Ⅲ) removal. The Cr(Ⅵ) removal percentage decreases with increasing pH values, while the Cr(Ⅲ) removal percentage increases with increasing pH value. The adsorption kinetics of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) well fits with pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm can well describe the adsorption phenomena of chromium ions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.567 mg/g for Cr( Ⅵ) and 3.446 mg/g for Cr( Ⅲ) . Moreover, SPR reveals higher adsorption capacity for Cr(Ⅲ) than that for Cr(Ⅵ), which implies that SPR has more potential application for Cr(III)-containing wastewater treatment than that for Cr(Ⅵ)-containing wastewater treatment.展开更多

文摘Sugarcane pulp residue (SPR), a waste from sugar-refinery, which possesses a large surface area, can be used for removing chromium (Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ)) from wastewater. In this work, the kinetics, isotherms of Cr(Ⅲ) and Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption and their removal by SPR were investigated. The results show that the removal percentages of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) increase with increasing SPR dosage and temperature and decrease with increasing SPR particle size and the initial concentration of chromium ions. However, the influence of pH value on the Cr( Ⅵ) removal differs from that of the Cr( Ⅲ) removal. The Cr(Ⅵ) removal percentage decreases with increasing pH values, while the Cr(Ⅲ) removal percentage increases with increasing pH value. The adsorption kinetics of Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(Ⅲ) well fits with pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm can well describe the adsorption phenomena of chromium ions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.567 mg/g for Cr( Ⅵ) and 3.446 mg/g for Cr( Ⅲ) . Moreover, SPR reveals higher adsorption capacity for Cr(Ⅲ) than that for Cr(Ⅵ), which implies that SPR has more potential application for Cr(III)-containing wastewater treatment than that for Cr(Ⅵ)-containing wastewater treatment.
