In addition, pH of the solution and the surface microstructure of palygorskite were investigated before and after adsorption. The experimental results indicated that efficiency of Cu2+ removal was related to the oscillation rate of the specimen shaker, sorption time, initial pH value and the amount of adsorbent added. Palygorskite induced Cu2+ hydrolysis and interaction between copper hydroxide colloids and palygorskite surfaces, as observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were the main contributions to palygorskite removal of Cu2+. This mechanism was different from adsorption at the mineral-water interface. It was proposed that surface hydrolysis of palygorskite raised the alkalinity of the palygorskite-water interface and suspension system. Thus, the induced pH of the solution was then high enough for Cu2+ hydrolysis on the mineral surface and in solution.展开更多

Systematic analyses of the material properties, the forming mechanism, and the regularity of woodceramics are made. The effects of the formula of raw materials, the consistencies of phenol resin, and the temperature, on the technique and the properties of woodceramics are displayed. It is shown that wheat straws can be used to produce woodceramics with this technique. The presented work provides useful ideas for the study of the preparation of woodceramics.展开更多
