The influence of pH and temperature on absorbing heavy metal cations by static adsorption was investigated. The batch tests on adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and elution efficiency were carried out to evaluate the performance of CL-P204. Column operations for extraction and separation of Fe(III) by CL-P2O4 were performed for further optimization of process parameters and feasibility evaluation. The reaction mechanism of Fe(III) and CL-P2O4 was analyzed through saturation capability, slope analysis and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The results show that the separation of Fe(III) from heavy metal wastewater using CL- P2O4 can be achieved through process of adsorption and desorption at a flow rate of 1.53 ml·min^-1·cm^-2, pH 0.8 and temperature of 25℃. The experimental data of Fe(III) adsorption by CL-P2O4 have a satisfactory fit with Langmuir adsorption equation and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The probable molecular formula of extracted complex is Fe[R2(R2H)], and the adsorption reaction equation is concluded as following: Fe3+ + 4RH 〈=〉Kex Fe[R2(R2H)] + 3H+ (Kex, extraction equilibrium constant). This study will supply the fundamentals for treatment of heavy metal wastewater.展开更多

There are a great number of pollution components in the wastewater from wet FGD process,and the removal process of these components is very complicated and difficult,especially the removal of heavy metals in the wastewater. Even if a foreign advanced technology was applied,it is still difficult to meet the discharge requirements of heavy metals in spite of its much higher investment,operation and maintenance cost than that from the domestic widely-used and simple wastewater treatment process. Under the background of increasingly stringent environmental requirements,to improve the existing wastewater treatment process or to change the existing wet FGD process has become extremely urgent.展开更多

Catalytic ozonation technology, which involves production of ·OH radical with strong oxidation ability, is widely used in the treatment of organic-containing wastewater. In this work, MgO-Co3O4 composite metal oxide catalysts prepared with different fabrication conditions have been systematically evaluated and compared in the catalytic ozonation of ammonia(50 mg/L) in water. In terms of high catalytic activity in ammonia decomposition and high selectivity for gaseous nitrogen, the catalyst with MgO-Co3O4 molar ratio 8:2, calcined at 500°C for 3 hr, was the best one among the catalysts we tested, with an ammonia nitrogen removal rate of 85.2% and gaseous nitrogen selectivity of44.8%. In addition, the reaction mechanism of ozonation oxidative decomposition of ammonia nitrogen in water with the metal oxide catalysts was discussed. Moreover, the effect of coexisting anions on the degradation of ammonia was studied, finding that SO2-4 and HCO-3 could inhibit the catalytic activity while CO2-3 and Br-could promote it. The presence of coexisting cations had very little effect on the catalytic ozonation of ammonia nitrogen. After five successive reuses, the catalyst remained stable in the catalytic ozonation of ammonia.展开更多

The novel MWCNT samples were tested for their performance in terms of Pb(Ⅱ)binding. The synthesized MWCNT samples were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared(FT-IR), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller(BET), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM) analysis, and the adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) was studied as a function of p H,initial Pb(Ⅱ) concentration, MWCNT dosage, agitation speed, and adsorption time, and process parameters were optimized. The adsorption data followed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. On the basis of the Langmuir model, Qmaxwas calculated to be 104.2 mg/g for the microwave-synthesized MWCNTs. In order to investigate the dynamic behavior of MWCNTs as an adsorbent, the kinetic data were modeled using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order equations. Different thermodynamic parameters, viz., ΔH0, ΔS0and ΔG0were evaluated and it was found that the adsorption was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The statistical analysis revealed that the optimum conditions for the highest removal(99.9%) of Pb(Ⅱ) are at p H 5, MWCNT dosage 0.1 g, agitation speed 160 r/min and time of 22.5 min with the initial concentration of 10 mg/L. Our results proved that microwave-synthesized MWCNTs can be used as an effective Pb(Ⅱ) adsorbent due to their high adsorption capacity as well as the short adsorption time needed to achieve equilibrium.展开更多
