The samples have been characterized by various physicochemical methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption (N2) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results reveal that Cu-MCM-48 with mass fraction of copper up to 10 % can still retain the uniform mesoporous framework of MCM-48. The copper in the framework of MCM-48 was easily auto-reduced to Cu(I) in N2 at high temperature, which did not alter the mesoporous structure of MCM-48. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms of ethylene and ethane on these molecular sieve adsorbents have been measured at 30℃. At 100 kPa, the adsorption capacities of ethylene on 5Cu-MCM-48 and 10Cu-MCM-48 are higher than those on MCM-48. The 10Cu-MCM-48 molecular sieve adsorbent has a higher selective adsorption ratio of ethylene to ethane, the separation factor is 3.8, and the amount of ethylene adsorbed is 11.1 ml·g ^-1.展开更多

The morphology and functional groups of IEⅡP were characterized by SEM,FTIR and TG. Static adsorption experiments and competitive adsorption test were used to evaluate the adsorption ability of IEⅡP. The adsorption capacity of polymers could reach 86.7 mg·g^-1 under the optimal adsorption conditions. The pseudo second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model could be used to analyze the experimental data well. The adsorption process of IEⅡP was chemical adsorption process and monomolecular type. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and could occur spontaneously. The selectivity coefficients k of Cd^2+/v, Cd^2+/Zn^2+ and Cd^2+/Cu^2+ were 2.4998, 1.2437 and 4.6882, respectively. The proposed method provides a new thought for removing Cd(Ⅱ) in water samples.展开更多

In this paper, removal of lead from aqueous solutions is investigated using a novel gel adsorbent synthesized from natural condensed tannin. The novel adsorbent performs in aqueous solutions as a weak base with valid basic groups of 1.2mmol·g-1 tannin gel particles and therefore results in the elevation of pH value of aqueous solutions. Even when initial pH is 3.6, final pH at equilibrium can climb up to 6.5 that is above the pH value for Pb(OH)2 precipitation formation and then lead can be removed from wastewater by this so-called surface precipitation. The adsorption isotherm can be expressed by the Langmuir equation and the maximum capacity for adsorption of Pb is up to 92 mg·g-1 (based on dry adsorbent) when initial pH value is 3.6. Hence, the adsorbent does offer favorable properties in lead removal with respect to its high adsorption capacity at low initial pH value, which is advantageous to lead removal from acidic wastewater. A model is put forward to describe the individual adsorption phenomenon of the tannin gel adsorbent.展开更多

The properties of the obtained adsorbent were also investigated in detail. The results showed that the water permeability could be improved by adding hydroxyl-containing organic compound moiety into the adsorbent. The specific surface area and average pore diameter of these adsorbents increased while the porosity first increased then decreased with the increase of the amount of the added hydroxyl-containing compound.展开更多

The coating process was done using emulsion asphalt to convert the normal sand to carbonated sand by using chemical treatment with sulfuric acid. The production process involves mixing of the sand with asphalt and an acid, then subjecting the mix to a heating process. Different mixing ratios, heating temperatures and times (activation times) were tried to obtain the optimum conditions at which the highest removal efficiency is obtained. Three types of acids were tried acetic acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid. It was found that the sulfuric acid requires the lowest activation time, hence selected for the production. The removal efficiency of the produced media was significantly affected by the temperature, mixing ratio and activation heating time. The results show that, the optimum conditions for the production process are 350 , (1:2:3) (Asphalt/acid/sand) and 52 min for temperature, mixing ratio and activation heating time respectively. The final product was tested and found effective as an adsorbent media for phenol and cadmium. The removal efficiencies of these two pollutants in a batch adsorber were found 82.42% and 86.67%, respectively. The X-R diffraction and FTIR spectra tests had proved this media as an adsorbent.展开更多

The two methods give consistent results. The polarization curves indicate that the DMI compound acts as mixed-type inhibitor. This compound is efficient inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration to reach 96% at 10-3 M for DMI. The temperature effect on the corrosion behavior of steel in 1 M HCI with and without the DMI compound at 10-3 M is studied in the temperature range from 298 to 318 K. The adsorption of inhibitor on the steel surface is found to obey the Frumkin adsorption isotherm model. From the adsorption isotherm, some thermodynamic data for the adsorption process (f, K and △Gads) are calculated and discussed.展开更多

The characterization of APTES-Fe_3O_4/bentonite was conducted via transmission electron microscope(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer(FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), zeta potential analysis and Brunner–Emmet–Teller(BET). The APTES-Fe_3O_4/bentonite was assessed as adsorbents for methylene blue(MB) with a high adsorption capacity(91.83 mg·g^(-1)). Factors affecting the adsorption of MB(such as p H, equilibrium time, temperature and initial concentration) were investigated. The adsorption process completely reaches equilibrium after 120 min and the maximum sorption is achieved at p H 8.0. The adsorption trend follows the pseudosecond order kinetics model. The adsorption data gives good fits with Langmuir isotherm model. The parameter factor RLfalls between 0 and 1, indicating the adsorption of MB is favorable. The adsorption process is endothermic with positive ΔH^0 values. The positive values of ΔG^0 confirm the affinity of the adsorbent towards MB, and suggest an increased randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption process. Regeneration of the saturated adsorbent was easily carried out via gamma-irradiation.展开更多

Batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) on MoS2/rGO followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model well. The adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) was intensely pH-dependent, ionic strength-dependent at pH 〈 9.0 and ionic strength-independent at pH 〉 9,0, The presence of humic acid (HA) enhanced Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption obviously. The MoS2/rGO composites exhibited excellent adsorption capacity of 384.16 mg g 1 at pH 5.0 and T = 298.15 K, which was superior to MOS2 (279.93 mg g 1) and many other adsorbents. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption process of Pb(Ⅱ) on MoS2/rGO composites was spontaneous (zSG" 〈 O) and endothermic (△H 〉 0). The interaction of Pb(Ⅱ) and MoS2] rGO was mainly dominated by electrostatic attraction and surface comple^ation between Pb(Ⅱ) and oxygen-containing functional groups of MoS2]rGO. This work highlighted the application of MoS21rGO as novel and promising materials in the efficient elimination of Pb(Ⅱ) from contaminated water and industrial effluents in environmental pollution management.展开更多

Methods: CGU was extracted with different solvents and ethanol extract (EE), ethyl acetate fraction (EF), n-butanol fraction (BF) and aqueous fraction (AF) were obtained. The effects of different fractions on the proliferation, matrix metaUoproteinase-2,9 (MMP-2,9) activities, synthesis of collagen and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) in the mouse oral fibroblasts were determined by MTT, gelatin zymography, chloramine-T method, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively. Results: EE, EF and BF at high concentrations could significantly inhibit proliferation of fibroblasts (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), and at low concentrations EF and BF could promote proliferation of fibroblasts, and BF and AF could significantly inhibit collagen synthesis (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01). EE, EF and AF at high concentrations could significantly increase the MMP-9 activity, and BF and AF could significantly inhibit synthesis of TIMP-1. Conclusion: CGU at high concentrations can inhibit the proliferations of fibroblasts and synthesis of collagen, and in healing of wound, CGU at high concentrations possibly has the functions of anti-fibrosis and anti-scar, and the mechanism to promote degradation of collagen is possibly related to the increase in MMP-9 activity and the inhibition of TIMP-1 synthesis.展开更多
