In addition, the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were recorded and the results were analyzed to investigate reparative adsorption for Cr（VI） from the polluted Xiangjiang River water. A comparative X-ray analysis shows that the degree of crystallization in the imprinted polymer was significantly weakened, the area of the non-crystalline region was larger. There were more adsorption sites in the imprinted polymer, and the adsorption capacity towards Cr（VI） was increased. The adsorption capacity of the imprinted polymer towards Cr（VI） increased with time and reaches saturation after 8 h. The optimal adsorption time was 4-8 h after the adsorption starting and the optimal pH value for the solution was in the range of 4.5-7.5. When the chitosan reaches saturation, the adsorption capacity achieves a state of equilibrium, and the maximum Cr（VI） extraction rate reaches 33.7%. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the imprinted polymer towards Cr（VI） increases with increasing chitosan concentration. In this situation, the Cr（VI） extraction rate shows little variation, and the maximum removal rate can reach 98.3%. Furthermore, the Cr（VI） extraction rate increases with an increase in the degree of deacetylation in the chatoyant and chitosan, with the best adsorption effect corresponding to 90% deacetylation. Fitting the adsorption data to the quasi first- and second-order kinetic models yields correlation coefficients of 0.9013 and 0.9875, respectively. The corresponding rate constants for the two models are 0.0091 min-1 and 7.129 g/（mg.min）, respectively. Hence, the adsorption using Cr（VI）-imprinted chitosan is more consistent with the second-order kinetics. Comparing the data to Freundlich and Langrnuir adsorption isotherms shows that the latter has a better linear fit and a maximum adsorption capacity of 15.784 mg/g.展开更多

The photocatalytic reduction was carried out in batch reactor, in which the influences of the presence ofmalonic and oxalic acids as well as of iron and lead ions on the degree of the reduction have been systematically evaluated. The results of the research indicated that the presence of malonic and oxalic acids with increasing concentration can improve the photoreduction. The increase in the Cr（V1） photoreduction is due to OH radical capturing by the organic acids so that it prevents the recombination of the OH radical and the free electron, and therefore can provide enough electron supply for Cr（VI） photoreduction. The effectiveness of Cr（VI） photoreduction is also enhanced by the addition of increasing concentration of both Fe（Ⅲ） and Pb（Ⅱ） ions through synergic effect. It is also found that the degree of the photopreduction is strongly influenced by solution acidity and the most effective Cr（VI） photoreduction is obtained at lower pH than 5, either in the absence or presence of the organic acids and the heavy metal ions.展开更多

Mechanical pressure at 10 bar of fresh seaweed fronds casu quo biomass in the laboratory delivered seaweed moisture which was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP)-techniques for heavy-metals = [HM], (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, Pb & Zn). Three important observations were made: 1) The [HM] in the seaweed moisture is higher than in the surrounding seawater which directs to mechanism(s) of bio-accumulation;2) The accumulation factor [AF] is varying per metallic-cation with an overall trend for our four seaweeds and sampling locations for [HM] are: As & Co & Cu: 5000 - 10,000 μg/l;Ni & Zn: 3000 - 5000 μg/l;Cd: 2000 - 3000 μg/l;Cr: 1000 - 2000 μg/l;Al: 200 - 1000 μg/l;Mo & Pb & Fe: 0 - 200 μg/l range. 3) Seaweed moisture detected that [HM]: Pb & Zn & Fe—which all three could not be detected in the seawater—supports the view that seaweeds have a preference in their bio-accumulation mechanism for these three HM. Major conclusion is in general that “overall” for the macro-elements Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P & S in the moisture of the four seaweed species the concentration is lower in the seaweed species, or equals the concentration, in comparison to the surrounding sea water.
