Two functional monomers, 1,12-dodecanediol-O,O’-diphenyl-phosphonic acid (DDDPA) and 4-vinylpyridine, were used to form a suitable construction with micro-pores fitting the template and recognition sites. The eflects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH and the competitive ions on the adsorption and separation eflciency of lead ions were investigated. The lead ion-imprinted micro-beads were eflcient for lead ions removal from aqueous solution in a broad pH range (4–9), when the adsorbent dosage was above 0.1 g/L. The adsorption process obeyed the pseudo second-order kinetics model and it only took half an hour to reach the equilibrium. The adsorption isotherm of lead ion was described by the Langmuir model (R2 0.99) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 116.9 mg/g. In the presence of competitive ions Co2+ and Cd2+, the lead ion-imprinted micro-beads showed a high selectivity for lead ions. The selectivity coeficient of Pb2+/Cd2+ and Pb2+/Co2+are 99.3 and 114.7, respectively.展开更多

The removal of Pb 2+ from aqueous solution by this kind of mycelial pellets was studied. The results indicated that many factors affected biosorption. These factors included pH, Pb 2+ concentration, co ion, adsorption time, and chemical pretreatments of biomass. Under optimum biosorption conditions(pH 4 5, 27℃, 16h), the highest lead uptake of 108 mg/g, was observed with mycelial pellets of 1 5-1 7 mm in diameter which were treated with 0 1 mol/L NaOH solution before adsorption. Pretreatment of biomass with NaOH further increased its biosorption capacity.展开更多

It was revealed that the increase in pH of brucitesuspension, as a result of the release of magnesium hydroxide into the suspension, leads to a sharprise of the adsorption amount of Pb^(2+) on brucite. The synergism of buffering and adsorptioncapacities of brucite is responsible for the removal of Pb^(2+) from the aqueous solution. Thecoexistence of Cu^(2+) with Pb^(2+) causes a decrease of their adsorption on brucite due to acompetition for surface sites and brucite exhibits a higher adsorption capacity for Pb^(2+) than forCu^(2+). The percentage adsorption of Pb^(2+) on brucite could reach 96.38 percent, 97.20 percentand 94.09 percent respectively with the initial pH of the suspension pH_i = 1.76 (initial Pb^(2+)concentration [Pb^(2+)]_i = 20 mumol/L), 1.82 ([Pb^(2+)]_i = 100 mumol/L) and 1.84 ([Pb^(2+)]_i =500 mumol/L). It was concluded that brucite is a very efficient mineral adsorbent for Pb^(2+)removal from polluted acidic water.展开更多

The resulting material(i.e. 3-MPA@PMNPs) characterized by FTIR, powder XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, VSM, BET and TGA techniques and then further employed for the investigation of the adsorptive removal of lead(Pb^2+) and cadmium(Cd^2+) ions from aqueous solutions in single and binary systems. The material showed fastest adsorptive rate(98.23%) for Pb^2+ and(96.5%) Cd2+within the contact time of 60 min at pH 6.5 in the single system. The experimental data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm, indicated monolayer adsorption of both metal ions onto 3-MPA@PMNPs and an estimated comparable adsorptive capacity of 68.41 mg·g^-1(Pb2+) and 79.8 mg·g^-1(Cd2+) at p H 6.5. However, kinetic data agreed well with pseudo-second-order model, and indicated that the removal mainly supported chemisorption and/or ion-exchange mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters such asΔGo,ΔHo, and ΔSo, were-3259.20, 119.35 and 20.73 for Pb^2+, and-1491.10, 45.441 and 7.87 for Cd^2+ at temperature 298.15 K, confirmed that adsorption was endothermic, spontaneous and favorable. The material demonstrated higher selectivity of Pb2+ and its removal efficiency was(98.20 ± 0.3)% in binary system experiments. The material persisted performance up-to seven(07) consecutive treatment cycles without losing their stability and offered comparable fastest magnetic separation(35 s) from aqueous solutions. Therefore, it is recommended that the prepared material can be employed to remove toxic heavy metal ions from water/wastewaters and this "green" method can easily be implemented at large scale in low economy countries.展开更多

The treating of maize tassel using sulphuric acid is believed to enhance sorption capacity of Lead(II) ions. For this, batch adsorption mode was adopted for which the effects of initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial concentration were investigated. Consequently, it was found that the adsorbent capacity depends on pH;since it increases up to 4.5 and then decreases. The highest percentage of Lead(II) ion removal was achieved in the adsorbent dosage of 1.2 g and at an initial concentration of 10 mg/L metal ion. In an attempt to determine the capacity and rate of Lead(II) removal, isotherm and kinetic data were modeled using appropriate equations. To this end, the adsorption data fitted best into the Langmuir model with an R2 (0.9997) while kinetically the Lead(II) adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model. Furthermore, as a way to address issues related to sustainability, maize tassel is recommended since the process is considered to be a dual solution for environmental cleaning. From one side, it represents a better way to dispose the maize tassel which has no use after fertilization and on the other hand it is an economic source of carbonaceous materials.展开更多

The neutron yield is determined to be 18.4±2.1 per carbon by integrating the neutron flux over the entire water volume. The corresponding simulation values are performed by Geant4 code with three models to compare with the experimental results. The comparison shows that the calculated result with the INCL model is in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

The gas phase theoretical and experimental analysis on [Pb(Benzene)2]2+ was conducted. The [Pb(Benzene)2]2+ complex ions were prepared using a combination of the pick-up technique and high energy electron impact, and then held in a cold ion trap. Excitation with tuneable UV radiation resulted in the formation of [Pb(Benzene)2(H2O)]2+, [Pb(Benzene)2(H2O)2]2+, [Pb(Benzene)]+, Pb+ and Benzene+ ions when the experimental results were analysed. The two optimised geometries of [Pb(Benzene)2]2+ namely the C2V eclipse and C2 staggered were observed. Methane activation of [Pb(Benzene)2]2+ complex ion yielded [Pb(Benzene)2(Me)]2+. [Pb(Benzene)2(H2O)(Me)2]2+,? [Pb(Benzene)2(H2O)(Me)]2+, [PbBenzene(Me)3]2+ and [Pb(Benzene)(Me)]2+. The PEC calculated binding energy of methane to lead benzene dication complex ion was approximately 25.45% higher than the value recorded on DFT calculation. This difference was due to the charge differences on the lead metal centre. While the actual calculated charge on the Pb metal in the optimised geometry was 1.68 the charge of +2 on the Pb metal was considered in the PEC calculation.展开更多

The structure of the sample was characterized by BET, XRD, IR, SEM and EDAX. The sample's adsorption performance of Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+) from aqueous solution was studied. Results indicated that the adsorbent is a loose and porous mesoporous material. Its surface had mass aluminosilicate, high-activity γ-Al_2O_3 and its p H ranges from 4 to 12 that all have negative charges. The BET surface of the adsorbent is 23.90 m^2/g. Furthermore, its surface contains rich oxygenic functional groups, which could not only provide abundant adsorption sites for Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+), but also improve the adsorption performance of Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+) from waste water through the complexation of heavy metal ions. The best p H values selected in the adsorption of Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+) are 6 and 5, respectively. With the increase of the initial concentration of simulated solution, the adsorption capacities of Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+) gradually increased but the removal rates showed a downward trend. The competitive adsorption results of Pb^(2+) and Cu^(2+) showed that Pb^(2+) has better preferential adsorption than Cu^(2+).展开更多
