CGA dispersion typically contains about 65% gas. CGA suspensions have viscosity similar to water, which make them suitable for pumping without deterioration in quality. Two important considerations in the application of CGA suspensions are: ① their colloidal size, resulting in a large surface area to volume ratio, and ② the existence of a double film of surfactant encapsulating the gas that retards the coalescence of the bubble. CGA suspensions are found very effective for separating hydrophobic organic compounds and heavy metal ions. In this paper, flotation of Cu(Ⅱ) by colloidal gas aphrons has been conducted in order to explore a new method for separating heavy metal ions from dilute solution. The effects of CGA flow rate, amounts of CGA introduced to the system, surfactant concentration on the flotation efficiency have been systematically investigated. The optimum flotation condition is determined. The results show that flotation efficiency at pH=5—6 has an optimum value to CGA flow rate and amount. When pH is greater than 7, the flotation efficiency can be as high as 99% at the optimum condition.展开更多

Then, the obtained silica nanoparticles were surface functionalized by silane coupling agents, such as(3-Mercaptopropyl) triethoxysilane(MPTES) and(3-Amincpropyl) trithoxysilane(APTES). Some further modifications were studied by chloroaceetyl choride and 1,8-Diaminoaphalene for amino modified silica. The surface functionalized silica nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FI-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The prepared adsorbent of surface functionalized silica nanoparticles with differential function groups were investigated in the selective adsorption about Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ions in aqueous solutions. The results show that the(3-Mercaptopropyl) triethoxysilane functionalized silica nanoparticles(SiO2-MPTES) play an important role in the selective adsorption of Cu2+ and Hg2+, the(3-Amincpropyl) trithoxysilane(APTES) functionalized silica nanoparticles(SiO2-APTES) exhibited maximum removal efficiency towards Pb2+ and Hg2+, the 1,8-Diaminoaphalene functionalized silica nanoparticles was excellent for removal of Hg2+ at room temperature, respectively.展开更多

The orthogonal design method is adopted for experimental design. The experimental results show that alcohol can trigger the shrinking and Ba2t can induce the swelling of the P(NIPAM-co-BCAm) copolymer. According to the phase transition tempera- ture (LCST) change results of the copolymer, the influence of variables on the LCST changes weakens in the following order: alcohol concentration 〉 alcohol species 〉 metal ion species 〉 BCAm concentration 〉 ion concentration. The larger the alcohol concentration and the larger the molecular size of alcohols, the lower the LCST value; on the contrary, the more the BCAm content in the copolymer or the larger the BCAm/ion complex stability constant (IgK) or the larger the ion concentration is, the higher the LCST value. For a P(NIPAM-co-BCAm ) copolymer with a fixed BCAm content, a binary function of ion concentration and IgK of BCAm/ion is developed to precisely predict the LCST values of the copolymer in different metal ion solutions. The results provide valuable information for fabricating artificial biomimetic G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels that are activated by alcohol and inhibited by Ba2+.展开更多

Reactive aggregates use meta-sandstone from eastern Taiwan and Pyrex glass. Non-reactive aggregates use siliceous sand. The results show that the dissolved amount of SiO2 is lower when the reactive aggregates are immersed in an 80 ℃1 N LiOH'H20 solution than in NaOH and KOH solutions. The reduced amounts of OH and Li+ in the solution are also higher than those in the NaOH and KOH solutions. These results reveal that reactive SiO2 can react with LiOH to form a reactant with low water solubility. When the powder of the cement paste is immersed in an 80 ℃ 1 N LiOH-H2O solution, the amounts of free Na+ and K+ in the solution are higher than those in water. The increased amount increases with the duration of immersion. The amount of Li+ in the solution also decreases with the duration of immersion. These results reveal that Li+ can substitute Na+ and K+ that are unified in cement paste, which indicates that ASR can be prevented with the existence of Li+.展开更多

The polymeric biosorbant was prepared using Zn(II) ion as template, acrylamide as functional monomer, cross linker NNMBA (N,N' Methylene-bis-acrylamide) and potassium persulphate as an initiator. The non-imprinted polymer networks were also prepared without use of the Zn(II) ion. The synthesized interpenetrating networks were characterized by various spectral techniques. Metal ion binding studies were carried out and the factors affecting binding were also optimized. Competitive sorption studies were investigated to determine the selectivity of Zn(II) ion imprinted interpenetrating polymer network. Zinc ion imprinted polymer networks showed good selectivity for the target ion.展开更多

The Fluoresence quenching of Rh6G (λex/λem=543mn/558nm) when the metal ion coordination compound was add into the Rh6G solution step by step, the quenching intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of the metal ion in the certain range. So a new method of fast and simple for determination of trace metal ion in landfill lcachate was established to determine metal ion in sample of different landfill leachate in Three Gorge Water Reservoir, and comparison the classic assay method with satisfactory results.展开更多

文摘This paper studies the reaction between alkaline metal ions Li+, Na+ and K+ and ASR (alkali-silica reaction) reactive aggregates to determine whether Li+ can substitute Na+ and K+ that are unified in cement paste. Reactive aggregates use meta-sandstone from eastern Taiwan and Pyrex glass. Non-reactive aggregates use siliceous sand. The results show that the dissolved amount of SiO2 is lower when the reactive aggregates are immersed in an 80 ℃1 N LiOH'H20 solution than in NaOH and KOH solutions. The reduced amounts of OH and Li+ in the solution are also higher than those in the NaOH and KOH solutions. These results reveal that reactive SiO2 can react with LiOH to form a reactant with low water solubility. When the powder of the cement paste is immersed in an 80 ℃ 1 N LiOH-H2O solution, the amounts of free Na+ and K+ in the solution are higher than those in water. The increased amount increases with the duration of immersion. The amount of Li+ in the solution also decreases with the duration of immersion. These results reveal that Li+ can substitute Na+ and K+ that are unified in cement paste, which indicates that ASR can be prevented with the existence of Li+.
