Efficient extraction of phenol from wastewater by ionic micro-emulsion method:Anionic and cationic

Phenolic wastewater is one of the priorities in the field of wastewater treatment,which poses a serious threat to the human health and nature environment.In this paper,cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)and anionic sodium oleate(Na OL)microemulsions were utilized to extract phenol from the wastewater.The optimal extraction factors were investigated by exploring the effects of microemulsion composition ratio and extraction conditions on the phenol extraction performance.Furthermore,the enhanced extraction mechanism of phenol by cations microemulsions is illustrated by studying the extraction process of cationic and anionic microemulsions in the extraction of phenol.The optimum components were obtained:surfactant concentration of 0.2 mol·L^(-1),isoamyl alcohol volume of 30%,internal aqueous phase concentration of CTAB microemulsion of 0.05 mol·L^(-1),and internal aqueous phase concentration of Na OL microemulsion of 0.09 mol·L^(-1).The extraction efficiencies were 96.44%and 82.0%when using CTAB and Na OL microemulsions under optimal conditions(water-emulsion ratio of 5,contact time of 9 min,extraction temperature of 298.15 K,and p H of 9),confirming the enhanced extraction of phenol by CTAB cationic microemulsion.It was analyzed that the enhanced extraction of CTAB microemulsion was due to the electrostatic adsorption of cations with phenol root ions.

Comparative study of the adsorption performance of NH_(2)-functionalized metal organic frameworks with activated carbon composites for the treatment of phenolic wastewaters

To better understand the role of the-NH_(2)group in adsorption process of phenolic wastewaters,NH_(2)-functionalized MIL-53(Al)composites with activated carbon(NH_(2)-M(Al)@(B)AC)were prepared.The results showed that the-NH_(2)group could increase the mesopore volume for composites,which promotes mass transfer and full utilization of active sites,because hierarchical mesopore structure makes the adsorbent easier to enter the internal adsorption sites.Furthermore,the introduction of the-NH_(2)group can improve the adsorption capacity,decrease the activation energy,and enhance the interaction between the adsorbent and p-nitrophenol,demonstrating that the-NH_(2)group plays a crucial role in the adsorption of p-nitrophenol.The density functional theory calculation results show that the H-bond interaction between the-NH_(2)group in the adsorbent and the-NO_(2)in the p-nitrophenol(adsorption energy of -35.5 kJ·mol^(-1)),and base-acid interaction between the primary-NH_(2)group in the adsorbent and the acidic-OH group in the p-nitrophenol(adsorption energy of -27.3 kJ·mol^(-1))are predominant mechanisms for adsorption in terms of the NH_(2)-functionalized adsorbent.Both NH_(2)-functionalized M(Al)@AC and M(Al)@BAC composites exhibited higher p-nitrophenol adsorption capacity than corresponding nonfunctionalized composites.Among the composites,the NH_(2)-M(Al)@BAC had the highest p-nitrophenol adsorption capacity of 474 mg·g^(-1).

CuO and Cu2O were loaded on the surface of Al2O3, characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. In the presence of CuOx/Al2O3, the microwave-induced chlorine dioxide （ClO2） catalytic oxidation process was conducted for the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing 100 mg/L phenol. The factors influencing phenol removal were investigated and the results showed that microwave-induced C102-CuOx/ml203 process could effectively degrade contaminants in a short reaction time with a low oxidant dosage, extensive pH range. Under a given condition （ClO2 concentration 80 mg/L, microwave power 50 W, contact time 5 latin, catalyst dosage 50 g/L, pH 9）, phenol removal percentage approached 92.24%, corresponding to 79.13% of CODcr removal. The removal of phenol by microwave-induced ClO2-CuOx/Al2O3 catalytic oxidation process was a complicated non-homogeneous solid/water reaction, which fitted pseudo-first-order by kinetics. Compared with traditional ClO2 oxidation, ClO2 catalytic oxidation and microwave-induced ClO2 oxidation, microwave-induced ClO2 catalytic oxidation system could significantly enhance the degradation efficiency. It provides an effective technology for the removal of phenol wastewater.
