A functionalized activated carbon adsorbent prepared from waste amidoxime resin by modifying with H_(3)PO_(4) and ZnCl_(2) and its excellent Cr(Ⅵ)adsorption

With the application of resins in various fields, numerous waste resins that are difficult to treat have been produced. The industrial wastewater containing Cr(Ⅵ) has severely polluted soil and groundwater environments, thereby endangering human health. Therefore, in this paper, a novel functionalized mesoporous adsorbent PPR-Z was synthesized from waste amidoxime resin for adsorbing Cr(Ⅵ). The waste amidoxime resin was first modified with H3PO4 and ZnCl_(2), and subsequently, it was carbonized through slow thermal decomposition. The static adsorption of PPR-Z conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm, indicating that the Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption by PPR-Z is mostly chemical adsorption and exhibits single-layer adsorption. The saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for Cr(Ⅵ) could reach 255.86 mg/g. The adsorbent could effectively reduce Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(Ⅲ) and decrease the toxicity of Cr(Ⅵ) during adsorption. PPR-Z exhibited Cr(Ⅵ) selectivity in electroplating wastewater. The main mechanisms involved in the Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption are the chemical reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) into Cr(Ⅲ) and electrostatic and coordination interactions. Preparation of PPR-Z not only solves the problem of waste resin treatment but also effectively controls Cr(Ⅵ) pollution and realizes the concept of “treating waste with waste”.

Response surface methodology for optimizing adsorption performance of gel-type weak acid resin for Eu(Ⅲ)

The conditions relating to enhanced adsorption procedure of earth element europium（Eu） onto gel-type weak acid resin（110-H） in aqueous solution were optimized by means of the response surface methodology（RSM）, which proved that 110-H owned satisfactory adsorption capacity（346.85 mg/g） in optimum conditions, belonging to one of the high adsorption capacity materials. Then, the adsorption and desorption behaviors were investigated by batch studies. The adsorption performance showed high agreement with the Lagergren-first-order model and Langmuir isotherm with thermodynamic adsorption parameters of ΔH= 36.1 k J/mol and ΔS=200 J/（mol·K）. Desorption study revealed that 110-H could be effectively eluted by a low concentration of HCl solution（0.1 mol/L） to regenerate and reuse. Finally, the 110-H and Eu（III） loaded 110-H were characterized by IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope（SEM） to analyze the mechanism of adsorption, which proved to be chemisorbed.

Simultaneous adsorption of lead and cadmium on MnO_2-loaded resin

MnO2-10aded D301 weak basic anion exchange resin has been used as adsorbent to simultaneously remove lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH and the coexistent ions on the adsorption were investigated. Experimental results showed that with the adsorbent dosage more than 0.6 g/L, both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ were simultaneously removed at pH range 5-6. Except for HPO4^2-, the high concentration coexistent ions such as Na^＋, K^＋, Cl^-, NO3^-, SO4^2- and HCO3^-, showed no significant effect on the removal efficiency of both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ under the experimental conditions. The coexistence of Mg^2＋, Ca^2＋ caused the reduction of Cd^2＋ removal, but not for Pb^2＋. The adsorption equilibrium for Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ could be excellently described by the Langmuir isotherm model with R^2 〉 0.99. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 80.64 mg/g for Pb^2＋ and 21.45 mg/g for Cd^2＋. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo first-order kinetics model. MnO2-loaded D301 resin has been shown to have a potential to be used as an effective adsorbent for simultaneous removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution.

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Pd（Ⅱ） on D201 resin were investigated. The effects of parameters including HCl concentrations, initial metal ion concentrations, contact time, and temperature on the adsorption of Pd（Ⅱ） were studied by batch method. The HCl concentration for studying the effects was set from 0.01 to 2 mol·L-1 and the optimal adsorption condition is in 0.01 mol·L-1 HCl solution.

The enthalpy variation （ΔH） and entropy change （ΔS） of adsorption were equal to 2.49 kJ·mol-1 and 74.8 J·（mol·K）-1 respectively, indicating that the adsorption was endothermic in nature. Furthermore, the negative value of ΔG showed that movement of adsorbate from the solution to adsorbent surface was a spontaneous process. Pd（Ⅱ） could be eluted with 0.5 mol·L-1 HNO 3 solution. Thomas model was applied to experimental column data to determine the characteristic parameters of the column useful for process design.

Macroporous Resin Adsorption for Purification of Flavonoids in Houttuynia cordata Thunb

Flavonoids are one main kind of effective components in Houttuynia cordata Thunb., which display a wide range of pharmacological activity. In this study supercritical fluid extraction （SFE） with carbon dioxide was first used as preparat ion step to remove the volatile components, which are also active components, from Hout-tuynia cordata Thunb. Then ultrasound-assisted extraction was used to obtain the crude flavonoids and the macro-porous resin adsorption technology was further employed to purify the flavonoids. Nine kinds of macroporous resins with different properties were tested through static adsorption, and one macroporous resin labeled as D101 was selected. The effect of several factors, such as the ratio of column height to diameter, initial concentration and pH, on both flavonoids yield and content were explored by dynamic adsorption to obtain reasonable conditions of adsorption and desorption. The experimental results show that the content of fiavonoids can be above 60% with fia- vonoids recovery of 93.3 % under the optimum conditions of purification. HPLC analysis of the final flavonoids product shows it contains quercitrin, hypefin, rutin and quercetin.

ADSORPTION OF 2,4-DICHLOROPHENOL IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION ONTO ADSORPTION RESIN MODIFIED BY N-ACETYLANILINE

A hypercrosslinked adsorption resin （ZH-05） modified by N-acetylaniline in the post crosslinking process was prepared. The adsorption properties of ZH-05 toward 2,4-dichlorophenol in comparison with granular activated carbon （GAC） and Amberlite XAD-4 were observed. The present study mainly focuses on the static equilibrium adsorption behaviors, desorption profiles and the proof of chemisorption. The results show that the Langmuir equation can give a perfect fitting to experimental data, and high temperature was favorable for adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol on ZH-05. A related equation was used to correlate the amount of chemisorption and the suppositionai chemisorption equilibrium concentration of adsorbate in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacities from different ranges of temperature and the static desorption experiment both reveal the same conclusion, i.e., the adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol from water on ZH-05 is a coexistent process of physical adsorption and chemical transition as on GAC.

Adsorption/desorption of toluene on a hypercrosslinked polymeric resin in a highly humid gas stream

In many sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), large amounts of water vapor come from the air and the reactors. The relative humidity (RH) of exhaust gas is normally >60% and is supersaturated. Maintaining the property of adsorbent on VOCs in a highly humid gas stream is a serious industrial problem. In this study, the adsorption/desorption behavior of toluene in a micro-mesoporous polymeric resin was investigated in a highly humid environment to explore the influence of abound water vapor on resin adsorption and regeneration. This resin could selectively adsorb toluene at an RH of 80%, and its adsorption property was unaffected by the presence of water vapor. In the case of humidity saturation, the resin displayed a high adsorption capacity at a moisture content of <30%. Therefore, the polymer resin is an excellent water-resistant adsorbent of VOCs. In the regenerative experiment, the resin maintained its original adsorption capability after four adsorption/ desorption cycles of toluene purging with nitrogen gas at 120℃. The resin exhibited excellent regeneration performance at high humidity.

STUDY ON THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ADSORPTION OF ETHYL BENZOATE AND DIETHYL PHTHALATE BY PHENOLIC RESIN ADSORBENTS

This paper presents experimental observations on the adsorption of individual solutes by a simple thermodynamic framework, and the equilibrium adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on phenolic resin adsorbent in hexane solutions within the temperature range of 293-313 K. The experimental results show that the Freundlich adsorption law is applicable to the adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on the adsorbent, since all the correlative factors R' are larger than 0.99. The negative values of all the isosteric adsorption enthalpies for ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate indicate that they undergo exothermic processes, while their magnitudes (19-28 kJ/mol) manifest a hydrogen bonding sorption process. Other thermodynamic properties: the free energy changes and the entropy change associated with the adsorption have been calculated from the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation

Adsorption of β-naphthalenesulfonic acid/sulfuric acid from their solution by weakly basic resin:equilibrium

Experiments for single and bisolute competitive adsorption were carried out to investigate the adsorption behavior of β-naphthalenesulfonic acid(NSA) and sulfuric acid (H_2SO_4) from their solution at 25℃ onto weakly basic resin D301R. Adsorption affinity of sulfuric acid on D301R was found to be much higher than that of NSA. The data of single-solute adsorption were fitted to the Langmuir model and the Freundlich adsorption model. The ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST) coupled with the single-solute adsorption models were used to predict the bisolute competitive adsorption equilibria. The IAST coupled with the Langmuir and the Freundlich model for sulfuric acid and NSA, respectively, yields the favorable representation of the bisolute competitive adsorption behavior.

Static and dynamic studies of adsorption by four macroporous resins to enrich oridonin from Rabdosia rubescens

Oridonin,one of the active ingredients in Rabdosia rubescens(R.rubescens),has been reported to induce cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in many cancers.Conventional extraction methods tend to result in unsatisfied enrichment and poor quality of oridonin present in a given biomass.This paper aims to evaluate the performance and separation characteristics of four different macroporous resins to arrive at the most suitable methodology for the isolation and purification of highquality oridonin.Static absorption kinetics,thermodynamic and dynamic adsorption were evaluated.HP20 was selected for further study due to its high adsorption capacity of 32 mgg 1 and desorption ratio with 98.5%.The pseudosecondorder model was considered to be the most suitable for kinetic results,and Langmuir model was chosen to better describe the absorption thermodynamics.Under optimum conditions(flow rate of 4 ml min 1,bed depth with 6 cm and initial concentration of 2.15 mg·ml^1),the effective content of oridonin increased from 33.9%to 79.1%in the dry extract with a recovery of 81%and the purity of oridonin improved from 76%to 93%.The results confirm that HP20 provides an efficient method to purify most oridonin from R.rubescens.
