The axial dispersion coefficient in Ca（Ⅱ）-CS microspheres packed column was found to be almost proportional to the linear velocity and fit for prediction through single breakthrough test. Sensitivity analysis for breakthrough curve indicated the axial dispersion coefficient as well as Langmuir coefficient was sensitive variable for deep removal requirement. The retrieval of the adsorption isotherms of Ca（Ⅱ）-CS microspheres from breakthrough curve was fulfilled by modelling calibration. A strategy based on the correlation between adsorption isotherms and breakthrough performance was further proposed to simplify the column adsorption design using absorbents with small/uniform size and fast adsorption kinetics like Ca（Ⅱ）-CS microspheres to cut down the gap between lab and industry.展开更多

Infrared spectra of chitosan before and after modification showed that the coating and cross-linking are effective. Experiments were performed at different pH of solution and contact time, and appropriate conditions for the adsorption of Cu（Ⅱ） were determined. Experimental equilibrium data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms for determination of the adsorption potential. The results showed that the Langmuir isotherm was better compared with the Freundlich isotherm, and the uptake of Cu（Ⅱ） was 78.13 mg·g^- 1. The kinetics of adsorption corresponded with the first-order Langergren rate equation, and Langergren rate constants were determined.展开更多

The moisture sorption isotherm of the SPI/CMCH blended films was determined using various relative humidity＇s （16%, 35%, 55% and 76% RH） at 25 ± 1℃. The isotherms showed that the equilibrium moisture content （EMC） of the films increased with increasing CMCH content and the EMC value sharply increased above aw = 0.55. Understanding of sorption isotherms is important for prediction of moisture sorption properties of films via moisture sorption empirical models. The Guggenheim-Oswin, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）, and Anderson-de Boer （GAB） sorption model predictions were tested against the experimental data. The root mean square （RMS） values from the Oswin, BET, and GAB models respectively ranged from 698.54 to 1,557.54, 38.85 to 58.30, and 52.52 to 95.95. Therefore, the BET model was found to be the best-fit model for SPI/CMCH blended films at 25 ± 1 ℃.展开更多

MRCCC presented uniform and narrow panicle size distribution as determined by the Laser Panicles Sizer. The Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry （ICP-AES）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） study demonstrated that there were iron and cerium existing in MRCCC. The movement of MRCCC under magnetic field proved its magnetic property. The swelling kinetics in water or solutions with different pH indicated that MRCCC could be applied in solutions with pH greater than 1.0. The ferromagnetic fluid particles were stable in MRCCC soaked in solutions with pH 〉2.0. In view of these results, MRCCC can be used as material for separation, clarification, adsorption, sustained release and hydrolysis activity.展开更多
