The maximum adsorption capacity of the samples was determined based on the adsorption isotherms with different adsorbent doses at 298,318 and 338 K. The fittings of the temperature-dependent isotherms yield ΔrGm^θ=-34.1 kJ/mol,ΔrHm^θ-36.9 kJ/mol and ΔrSm^θ=-9.67 J/mol·K. The as-prepared Y2 Mo4 O15 has a very large maximum adsorption capacity（i.e., 198 mg/g） for MB at room temperature, and this value is only less than that of amorphous hardwood powder. Notably, 80 mg of adsorbent is able to completely decolorize 250 mL of 30 mg/L MB aqueous solution. The kinetic parameters of the adsorption process were obtained from the temperature-dependent adsorption isotherm（i.e., E1=26.9 kJ/mol and E1 = 63.8 kJ/mol）. The results of adsorption kinetics show that it is a pseudo-second-order reaction. The mechanism of the high selectivity and the large adsorption capacity is discussed based on competitive ion（CI） experiments and coordination theory.展开更多

In this work, the removal of methyl orange （MO） from aqueous solution using spent tea leaves as the sorbent was investigated in a batch experiment. First, the effects of various parameters such as temperature, adsorption time, dose of spent tea leaves, and initial concentration of MO were investigated. Then, the response surface methodology （RSM）, based on Box- Behnken design, was employed to obtain the optimum adsorption conditions. The optimal conditions could be obtained at an initial concentration of MO of 9.75 mg·L-1, temperature of 35.3℃, contact time of 63.8 min, and an adsorbent dosage 3.90 g· L-1. Under the optimized condi- tions, the maximal removal of MO was 58.2%. The results indicate that spent tea leaves could be used as an effective and economical adsorbent in the removal of MO from aqueous solution.展开更多

The as-prepared BLOC1 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis （TGA-DTA）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra （DRS）. The effects of preparation conditions such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate （SDBS） dispersant, HC1 concentration, and heat treatment temperature on BiOC1 performances were investigated. Moreover, its photocatalytic activity was evaluated on the degradation of methylene orange （MO） and was compared with that of TiO2 （P25）. The experimental results confirmed that BiOC1 micro-nano particles prepared with SDBS, the HC1 concentration of 1.5 mol/L, and the heat treatment temperature of 80℃ exhibited the best performance for the photodegradation of MO solution, and they showed good stability and better photocatalytic activity than P25 photocatalyst.展开更多
