The adsorption was a rapid process for bacterial adhesion to chalcopyrite. The extent of adsorption increased with increasing initial bacterial concentration and pulp concentration. The optimal pH for Acidithiobacillusferrooxidans adsorption onto chalcopyrite surfaces was in the range of pH 1-3. The increase of ionic strength led to decrease in bacterial adsorption, which can be well explained by electric double layer theory. The adsorption behavior appeared to be controlled by both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions at the interface of bacteria and mineral,展开更多

[Method] The lab simulation test was conducted to study the effect of freeze-thaw action on the total adsorbed amount of ammonium (deionized water extract) and strongly-adsorbed amount of ammonium (0.01 mol/L KCl solution extract) in the dryland soil of Sanjiang Plain. [Result] Compared with linear equation, Freundlich equation could better fit the total adsorbed amount of ammonium in dryland soil (R 2 0.99, SE1.69). The freeze-thaw action almost had no influence on the total adsorbed amount of ammonium. When the initial concentration of NH 4 + increased from 0 to 200 mg/L, the total adsorbed NH 4 + amount increased from -0.52 to 39.0 mg/kg under freeze-thaw treatment (FTT), while it increased from -0.70 to 38.5 mg/kg under unfreeze-thaw treatment (UFTT). However, the strongly-adsorbed amount of ammonium presented linear relationship with the concentration of NH 4 + (R 2 0.99, SE0.54), and the strongly-adsorbed amount of ammonium increased significantly by FTT. When the initial concentration of NH 4 + increased from 0 to 200 mg/L, the strongly adsorbed amount increased linearly from 2.36 to 28.81 mg/kg for FTT and from -4.25 to 25.12 mg/kg for UFTT. The freezethaw action decreases the concentration of NH 4 + in soil solution when the net strongly-adsorbed NH 4 + in soil is zero., therefore, FTT helped to reduce the leaching of ammonium ions in soil. Freeze-thaw action mainly influenced the exchangeable adsorbed NH 4 + in soil. [Conclusion] This study provides theoretical basis for preventing excessive soil nitrogen from entering into water body and controlling water entrophication.展开更多

The effect of contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration and pH was investigated. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of SAAEF was 187.7 mg/g at pH=1.0. The adsorption capacity increased with Cr(VI) concentration but decreased with pH value when pH〉1.0. Adsorption isotherms at various temperatures were obtained. Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin models were adopted and the equilibrium data fitted best with the Langmuir isotherm. The constants of these models indicated that the adsorption process involved both chemisorption and physisorption. The values of thermodynamic parameters, including DH, DG and DS, suggested that the adsorption of Cr(VI) on SAAEF was a spontaneous, entropy-driven and endothermic process. Q(iso) was not a constant value, which indicated an inhomogenous energy distribution on SAAEF.展开更多

Temperature also increased both values of X_m (the amount of ionadsorbed at equilibrium) and k (kinetica constant) of Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+. The activation energies of Pb ̄2+ adsorption werekaolin-Mn >red soil>goethite and those of Cu ̄2+ were latosol> red soil > kaolin-Mn >goethite. For a given singlesample the activation energy of Cu ̄2+ was greater than that of Pb ̄2+. Raising ionic strength decreased the adsorptionof Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+ by latosol, red soil and kaolinite coated with Mn oxide but increased Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+ adsorption bygoethite. The contrary results could be explained by the different changes in ion forms of Pb ̄2+ or Cu ̄2+ and in surfacecbarge characteristics of latosol, red soil, kaolin-Mn and goethite. Increasing supporting electrolyte concentration in-creased X_m and k in goethite systems but decreased X_m and k in kaolin-Mn systems. All the time-dependent data fit-ted the surface second-order equation very well.展开更多

Using the SFA (Surface Forces Apparatus) the authors measured force-distance profiles of poly (isoprene)-poly (acrylic acid) block copolymers adsorbed on mica. Also by Atomic Force Microscopy the authors captured single polyelectrolyte molecule adsorbed on a surface. The effect of salt concentration (Cs) and pH upon the height of the brush layers was explored mainly by measuring the forces between two adsorbed polyelectrolyte brushes. At pH = 4 our results are in good agreement with the scaling prediction L0 ∝Cs-1/3 Changing the pH from 4 to 10 causes a remarkable swelling of the polymer layer, but only a weak dependence on salt concentration was detected at the higher pH. This can be attributed to the degree of dissociation, which depends on the local pH value. At low pH the polyelectrolyte chains have a low charge density, while on increasing the pH the degree of dissociation rises, and the increased charge density is followed by swelling of the adsorbed layer. The local concentration of ions in the brush is now greater than that of pH = 4 and approximately equivalent to 0.3 M. So the swelling is only weakly dependent on salt concentration in the range 0.01-1.0 M. The results demonstrate the tunable nature of such self-assembled polyelectroiyte brushes whose height and range of interactions, can be systematically controlled by adjusting the pH and ionic strength of the medium.展开更多

In this study, the effect of ionic strength (0-1 000 mmol kg-1) adjusted by NaCl or CaCl2 on adsorption of Bt toxin by a lateritic red soil, a paddy soil and these soils after chemical removal of organic-bound or free Fe and Al oxides, as well as by pure minerals (goethite, hematite and gibbsite) which are widespread in these soils, were studied. The results indicated that when the supporting electrolyte was NaCl, the adsorption of Bt toxin by the lateritic red soil and paddy soil increased rapidly until the ionic strength reached 250 mmol kg-1 and then gradually slowed down with the increase of ionic strength; while in ease the supporting electrolyte was CaCl2, the adsorption of Bt toxin enhanced significantly at low ionic strength (〈 10 mmol kg-1) and then decreased as the ionic strength increased. The adsorption of Bt toxin by the tested minerals and soils after the removal of organic-bound or free Fe and Al oxides also increased with increasing ionic strength controlled by NaCl. Removing organic-bound Fe and Al oxides obviously increased the adsorption of Bt toxin in the tested soils. Differently, removing free Fe and Al oxides increased the Bt adsorption by the paddy soil, but decreased the adsorption by the lateritic red soil. The study indicated that the varieties of ionic strength and the presence of Ve and Al oxides affected the adsorption of Bt toxin by the soils, which would contribute to the further understanding of the fate of Bt toxin in the soil environment and provide references for the ecological risk assessment of transgenic Bt plants.展开更多

Macroscopic experiment results show that the sorption of 63Ni(II) is dependent on ionic strength at pH〈7, and independent of ionic strength at pH〉7. The sorption percentage of 63Ni(II) on mordenite increases with increasing solid content, while the sorption capacity decreases as solid content increases. The presence of different electrolyte ions can enhance or inhibit the sorption of Ni(II) on mordenite in various degrees. EXAFS analysis results of the sam- ples under three different ionic strengths suggest that the retained 63Ni(II) in these samples exists in an octahedral environment with six water ligands. In the initial period of rapid uptake, the sorption of 63Ni(II) is dominated by the formation of innersphere surface complexes. As aging time increases, 63Ni(II) sequestration behavior tends to be mainly controlled by the formation of Ni phyllosilicate coprecipitates and/or Ni(OH)2(s) precipitates. Results for the second shell fit of the sample prepared at an initial 63Ni(II) concentration of 100 mg/L indicate the possible formation of Ni polynuclear surface complexes. Both the macroscopic sorption data and the molecular level evidence of 63Ni(II) surface speciation at the mordenite/water interfaces should be factored into better predictions of the mobility and bioavailability of 63Ni(II) in environment mediums.展开更多
