Dissolution and precipitation rates of low defect Georgia kaolinite (KGa-1b) as a function of Gibbs free energy of reaction (or reaction affinity) were measured at 22 °C and pH 4 in continuously stirred flowthrough reactors. Steady state dissolution experiments showed slightly incongruent dissolution, with a Si/Al ratio of about 1.12 that is attributed to the re-adsorption of Al on to the kaolinite surface. No inhibition of the kaolinite dissolution rate was apparent when dissolved aluminum was varied from 0 and 60 μM. The relationship between dissolution rates and the reaction affinity can be described well by a Transition State Theory (TST) rate formulation with a Temkin coefficient of 2

Bio-related techniques have been proved to be efficient and specific in eliminating impure minerals such as goethite, hematite and kaolinite from aluminum hydroxides in bauxite processing. In this study, the bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa (P. polymyxa) mediated dissolution and flotation of bauxite were experimentally investigated. To disclose the contribution of adhered bacteria to these two processes, comparative experiments were designed, with one (and the other not) being dialyzed to prevent cells from contacting with bauxite. The results show that all the release rates of Al, Fe and Si are accelerated by the involvement of bacteria during 11 experimental days. More Al, Si and especially Fe are leached out in contact trial than in dialysis trial, and simultaneously, a large amount of Si-enriched flocs are formed. Further analysis indicates that with the adhesion of P. polymyxa and high molecular weight metabolites, Fe minerals are much more dissolvable than kaolinite. However, kaolinite can be floated easily with the mediation of adhered bacteria and metabolites. This study suggests that in bauxite biobeneficiation, sufficient contact between microbes and bauxite can facilitate the elimination of impurities such as iron and silicon.  相似文献

The effect of protons, low molecular weight organic ligands, soil humic acid (HA), and stream water dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the rate of dissolution of kaolinite was examined. In acid solution (no ligands present) the rate of dissolution increased with increasing [H+] and the rate of Si dissolution was generally faster than Al. Low molecular weight organic ligands markedly increased the dissolution rates of both Al and Si in the following order: oxalate > malonate ≈ salicylate > o-phthalate. In the presence of organic ligands, the rate of Al dissolution was generally much greater than Si. Soil HA and stream water DOM did not promote the dissolution of kaolinite under the experimental conditions examined in this study.

The dissolution kinetics of Al were interpreted in terms of a surface complexation model and the rate equations described in terms of the concentrations of specific (i.e. inner sphere) surface complexes.  相似文献

 The kinetics and mechanism of hydrothermal formation of zeolite A from natural kaolinites have been studied using as starting materials two international kaolinite standards (KGa-1 and KGa-2 from Georgia, USA) exhibiting a different degree of stacking disorder. Precursors utilized for the synthesis were prepared by heating the kaolinites at 800 °C. Metakaolinite was also prepared from KGa-1 by thermal activation at 600 °C. The hydrothermal syntheses were accomplished by heating the samples in NaOH solutions at temperatures between 70 and 110 °C. The kinetic experiments were performed by time-resolved synchrotron powder diffraction in isothermal mode using a transmission geometry and an Image Plate detector. The results of the kinetic analysis are interpreted in the light of the structural state of the starting kaolinite, and of the temperature of activation of the precursor material. For kaolinite activated at high temperature the nucleation and crystallization of zeolite A is essentially independent of the defect density of the original kaolinite, and the thermal history of the precursor seems to be the main controlling parameter. The formation process of zeolite A from metakaolinite materials obtained at lower activation temperatures shows significantly faster reaction rates and lower apparent activation energies. This is again interpreted in the light of the short range inhomogeneities present in metakaolinite. As the reaction proceeds metastable zeolite A transforms into hydroxy-sodalite.

Understanding the effects of microbiota on mineral alteration requires the ability to recognize evidence of bacteria-promoted dissolution on mineral surfaces. Although siderophores are known to promote mineral dissolution, their effects on mineral surfaces are not well known. We have utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Mirau vertical scanning interferometry (VSI) to investigate surfaces after incubation with the siderophore desferrioxamine-B mesylate (DFAM) and under colonies of bacteria. Iron-silicate glass planchets chemically similar to hornblende were incubated in buffered growth medium with siderophore-producing bacteria (Bacillus sp.) for 46 days with parallel abiotic experiments conducted with and without 240 μM DFAM, with and without 0.01 g l− 1 of microbially produced extracellular polysaccharides (EPS, alginate or xanthan gum). Some glass planchets were protected by dialysis tubing from direct contact with the EPS. Weekly sampling and analysis of all filtered sample solutions showed negligible Fe and Al release in the control experiments and significant release of Fe and Al in the presence of DFAM, with negligible changes in pH. Concentration of Fe in the filtered solutions after incubation with bacteria was below detection, consistent with uptake of Fe by cells. Release of Fe, Al, and Si in control, xanthan-only, and alginate-only experiments was negligible. Release of these elements was enhanced in all experiments containing DFAM, and greatest in alginate + DFAM experiments.

AFM and VSI analyses reveal widespread, small etch pits and greater root mean squared roughness on siderophore-exposed surfaces and fewer, localized, larger etch pits on bacteria-exposed surfaces. This is the first documented case of etch pit development during siderophore-promoted dissolution. Roughness was not affected by the growth medium, alginate, or xanthan gum alone. The roughness trends among samples correlate with trends in Fe depletion documented by XPS. Enhanced dissolution and roughness cannot be attributed to direct contact with EPS because no significant chemical or physical differences were observed between surfaces directly exposed to EPS and those protected by dialysis tubing. Acetate released from the EPS may have enhanced the siderophore-promoted dissolution. Siderophores produced by Bacillus sp. may be responsible for some of the ‘biopits.’ The difference in size and distribution of the biopits may be related to colonization.  相似文献

The effect of Fe-oxidizing bacteria on Fe-silicate mineral dissolution   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans are commonly present in acid mine drainage (AMD). A. ferrooxidans derive metabolic energy from oxidation of Fe2+ present in natural acid solutions and also may be able to utilize Fe2+ released by dissolution of silicate minerals during acid neutralization reactions. Natural and synthetic fayalites were reacted in solutions with initial pH values of 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 in the presence of A. ferrooxidans and in abiotic solutions in order to determine whether these chemolithotrophic bacteria can be sustained by acid-promoted fayalite dissolution and to measure the impact of their metabolism on acid neutralization rates. The production of almost the maximum Fe3+ from the available Fe in solution in microbial experiments (compared to no production of Fe3+ in abiotic controls) confirms A. ferrooxidans metabolism. Furthermore, cell division was detected and the total cell numbers increased over the duration of experiments. Thus, over the pH range 2–4, fayalite dissolution can sustain growth of A. ferrooxidans. However, ferric iron released by A. ferrooxidans metabolism dramatically inhibited dissolution rates by 50–98% compared to the abiotic controls.

Two sets of abiotic experiments were conducted to determine why microbial iron oxidation suppressed fayalite dissolution. Firstly, fayalite was dissolved at pH 2 in fully oxygenated and anoxic solutions. No significant difference was observed between rates in these experiments, as expected, due to extremely slow inorganic ferrous iron oxidation rates at pH 2. Experiments were also carried out to determine the effects of the concentrations of Fe2+, Mg2+ and Fe3+ on fayalite dissolution. Neither Fe2+ nor Mg2+ had an effect on the dissolution reaction. However, Fe3+, in the solution, inhibited both silica and iron release in the control, very similar to the biologically mediated fayalite dissolution reaction. Because ferric iron produced in microbial experiments was partitioned into nanocrystalline goethite (with very low Si) that was loosely associated with fayalite surfaces or coated the A. ferrooxidans cells, the decreased rates of accumulation of Fe and Si in solution cannot be attributed to diffusion inhibition by goethite or to precipitation of Fe–Si-rich minerals. The magnitude of the effect of Fe3+ addition (or enzymatic iron oxidation) on fayalite dissolution rates, especially at low extents of fayalite reaction, is most consistent with suppression of dissolution by interaction between Fe3+ and surface sites. These results suggest that microorganisms can significantly reduce the rate at which silicate hydrolysis reactions can neutralize acidic solutions in the environment.  相似文献

Siderophores are Fe(III)-specific ligands produced by many aerobic microorganisms under conditions of iron stress. This study examined adsorption of the commercial trihydroxamate siderophore, desferrioxamine B (DFO-B), to an iron-containing kaolinite (0.1 bulk wt.% Fe) and examined DFO-B effects on initial kaolinite dissolution and iron release rates. Adsorption experiments were conducted at pH 3 to 8 in 0.01-M NaClO4 in the dark and at 22°C; batch initial dissolution experiments were conducted to 96 h.The adsorption envelope (i.e., adsorption as a function of pH) of DFO-B on kaolinite was consistent with cation-like behavior, with adsorption increasing above kaolinite’s pHpznpc of 4.9. DFO-B enhanced aluminum release from kaolinite at pH 3 to 7, relative to HNO3, which is consistent with the ligand’s high binding affinity for Al. Correlation between DFO-B adsorption and aluminum release suggested a surface-controlled, ligand-promoted dissolution mechanism. DFO-B had no effect relative to HNO3 on silicon release at pH 3 and 5, but moderately enhanced silicon release at pH 7. DFO-B enhanced iron release from kaolinite, with dissolved iron concentrations in the 10-ppb range at 96-h reaction time. These results show that kaolinite may serve as a source of iron to aerobic microorganisms in iron-limited conditions and that siderophores may affect kaolinite dissolution and iron content.  相似文献

Si adsorption onto Bacillus subtilis and Fe and Al oxide coated cells of B. subtilis was measured both as a function of pH and of bacterial concentration in suspension in order to gain insight into the mechanism of association between silica and silicate precipitates and bacterial cell walls. All experiments were conducted in undersaturated solutions with respect to silicate mineral phases in order to isolate the important adsorption reactions from precipitation kinetics effects of bacterial surfaces. The experimental results indicate that there is little association between aqueous Si and the bacterial surface, even under low pH conditions where most of the organic acid functional groups that are present on the bacterial surface are fully protonated and neutrally charged. Conversely, Fe and Al oxide coated bacteria, and Fe oxide precipitates only, all bind significant concentrations of aqueous Si over a wide range of pH conditions. Our results are consistent with those of Konhauser et al. [Geology 21 (1993) 1103; Environ. Microbiol. 60 (1994) 49] and Konhauser and Urrutia [Chem. Geol. 161 (1999) 399] in that they suggest that the association between silicate minerals and bacterial surfaces is not caused by direct Si–bacteria interactions. Rather, the association is most likely caused by the adsorption of Si onto Fe and Al oxides which are electrostatically bound to the bacterial surface. Therefore, the role of bacteria in silica and silicate mineralization is to concentrate Fe and Al through adsorption and/or precipitation reactions. Bacteria serve as bases, or perhaps templates, for Fe and Al oxide precipitation, and it is these oxide mineral surfaces (and perhaps other metal oxide surfaces as well) that are reactive with aqueous Si, forming surface complexes that are the precursors to the formation of silica and silicate minerals.  相似文献

The dissolution kinetics of a simulated lunar glass were examined at pH 3, 5, and 7. Additionally, the pH 7 experiments were conducted in the presence of citric and oxalic acid at concentrations of 2 and 20 mM. The organic acids were buffered at pH 7 to examine the effect of each molecule in their dissociated form. At pH 3, 5, and 7, the dissolution of the synthetic lunar glass was observed to proceed via a two-stage process. The first stage involved the parabolic release of Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe, and the linear release of Si. Dissolution was incongruent, creating a leached layer rich in Si and Ti which was verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). During the second stage the release of Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe was linear. A coupled diffusion/surface dissolution model was proposed for dissolution of the simulated lunar glass at pH 3, 5, and 7. During the first stage the initial release of mobile cations (i.e., Ca, Mg, Al, Fe) was limited by diffusion through the surface leached layer of the glass (parabolic release), while Si release was controlled by the hydrolysis of the Si-O-Al bonds at the glass surface (linear release). As dissolution continued, the mobile cations diffused from greater depths within the glass surface. A steady-state was then reached where the diffusion rate across the increased path lengths equalled the Si release rate from the surface. In the presence of the organic acids, the dissolution of the synthetic lunar glass proceeded by a one stage process. The release of Ca, Mg, Al, and Fe followed a parabolic relationship, while the release of Si was linear. The relative reactivity of the organic acids used in the experiments was citrate > oxalate. A thinner leached layer rich in Si/Ti, as compared to the pH experiments, was observed using TEM. Rate data suggest that the chemisorption of the organic anion to the surface silanol groups was responsible for enhanced dissolution in the presence of the organic acids. It is proposed that the increased rate of Si release is responsible for the one stage parabolic release of mobile cations and the relatively thin leached layer compared to experiments at pH 3 and 5.  相似文献

Dissolution experiments of a tholeiite basalt glass carried out at different pH and T (up to 300°C) using a rotatingdisc apparatus show that, depending on pH and T, dissolution can be controlled by one of the following steps: (1) surface reaction; (2) transport of reactants in solution; and (3) mixed reaction. The activation energies of these different processes were found to be 60, 9 and 15–50 kJ mol−1, respectively. Taking account of these results, it appears likely that surface reactions are not rate limiting for the hydrolysis of most crystalline silicate minerals in hydrothermal and metamorphic processes, and that caution should be exercised when predicting rate of reactions at high temperatures solely on the basis of activation energies measured at low temperatures.

Comparison of experimental and theoretical potentiometric titrations of the basalt glass and its constituent oxides indicates that the adsorption of H+ and OH ions at the basalt surface is metal cation specific and that the net adsorption can be predicted from the sole knowledge of the acidity constants of the network-forming constituent oxides. We found that in the acidic pH region dissolution is promoted by the adsorption of H+ on al and Fe surface sites while in the basic region, dissolution is promoted by the adsorption of OH on Si sites. The combination of the two distinct types of surface sites, Al and Fe on the one hand, and Si on the other hand, results in a dissolution rate minimum at a pH-value between the pHzpc of the two groups of oxide components. Linear regressions with a slope n=3.8 are observed both in acid and alkaline solutions in logarithmic plots of the rate of dissolution vs. the surface charge. The value of n, which represents the number of protonation or hydroxylation steps prior to metal detachment, has been found equal to the mean valence of the network-forming metals.

Combining concepts of surface coordination chemistry with transition state theory afforded characterisation of the activated complexes involved in basalt dissolution processes. From the values obtained for the thermodynamic properties of activation for basalt dissolution it is assumed that the activated complexes formed during the H2O-promoted dissolution of the basalt glass are more tightly bonded than those formed during H+- or OH-promoted dissolution.  相似文献

Apatites occurring in lateritic residues derived from high-grade metamorphic rocks from Sri Lanka are hydroxy-apatite as indicated by EPMA and XRD. Weathered phosphates and weathered crystalline products are composed of carbonate fluorapatite, crandallite, wardite, fluellite, kaolinite, goethite and gibbsite. EDAX, DTA and SIMS show the presence of amorphous materials, such as oxides of Fe, Al, Si, Al+Si, and S, on the surface of weathered phosphate. Using SEM, TEM, EDAX and electron diffraction techniques, the presence of these amorphous and crystalline materials with several transitions has been clearly identified in weathered phosphate. Recrystallization of phosphate occurred during weathering by dissolution, nucleation and precipitation. The lattice images of hydroxyapatite are gradually increased from 8.3-A basal spacings by weathering, and form mosaic bound fragments. Chondrite-, shale- and phosphorite concretion-normalized REE patterns of these apatites, known to have sedimentary origins, suggest enrichment and remobilisation during post-depositional reworking.  相似文献

Microorganisms play an important role in As mobilization into groundwater by directly influencing As speciation or indirectly inducing solubilisation from As-bearing phases, such as Fe, Mn and Al oxides. Iron oxide dissolution could also be induced by siderophores, small-molecule compounds produced by microorganisms to favour Fe uptake. Well waters exceeding the potable water limit of 10 μg As L−1 (0.133 μM) have been widely reported in geothermal areas. Mechanisms responsible for these high As concentrations have not yet been thoroughly elucidated and the complexity of As mobilization in volcanic aquifers is still open to multiple interpretations. The present study was based on batch release experiments aimed at verifying and quantifying the effect of siderophores on As mobilization from volcanic rocks (lava, tuff, peperino and fallout deposit) at different pH and ligand concentration. In the experiments the siderophore trihydroxamate desferroxamine B (Dfob) was used and its effect on As release from volcanic rocks was manifest after the first days. The most favourable pH for As release was pH 6 while concentrations above 250 μM Dfob considerably enhanced As and Fe concentrations in solution. The As release from rocks was between 2.0–10% at pH 6 and 2.4–8.8% at pH 8. The As/Fe ratio in solution changed with time suggesting different release mechanisms and higher mobility of As compared to Fe during the first phase of the experiment. The presence of siderophore increased Fe dissolution rates up to 10 orders of magnitude. The As release correlated with Al, Mn, Fe, Si, V, Ga and Sb and the release of all these elements increased with increasing Dfob concentration. In alkaline environments also Cu, Zn and Pb were mobilized. The presence of siderophores represents a possible trigger for As mobilization from iron binding minerals to the water phase, with interesting implications for groundwater quality, plant uptake and bacterial communities.  相似文献

采用双位模式(即假定高岭石表面存在>AIOH和>SiOH基团)拟合高岭石表面的酸碱滴定数据并描述表面上发生的质子化反应,Al位和Si位的表观常数拟合值分别为pKal,Al=1.78、pKa2,Al=8.47和pKa2,Si=5.12,它们的酸性比对应的(氢)氧化物表面位的更强。高岭石的总表面位密度远大于氧化铝和二氧化硅,其原因很可能是溶液中的质子或羟离子能够渗入高岭石的层间,与层间的羟基发生反应。此外,Al位密度也比Si位大近一个数量级,这种与理论化学式偏离的现象可受多种因素的影响。高岭石表面总体在pH低于4.0时带正电荷,在pH高于4.0时带负电荷。正电荷仅由>AlOH基团通过质子化作用形成>AlOH2^ 表面化合态来提供,而负电荷则由>AlOH和>SiOH基团的去质子化作用产生,分别形成>AlO^-和>SiO^-表面化合态。  相似文献

成岩作用过程中骨架颗粒长石的溶蚀淋滤是碎屑岩储层形成次生孔隙的重要作用。长石在溶蚀反应中Al元素的活动性最低,只有在流体动力较强的条件下Al才发生迁移作用,长石溶蚀反应中高岭石的形成与分布受控于Al的迁移富集能力。因此研究成岩元素Al在流体中迁移富集特征对于储层评价具有重要意义。运用铸体薄片、扫描电镜以及粉晶衍射等分析测试技术,对东营凹陷碎屑岩储层的成岩特征进行了研究,结果在镜下可见研究区长石溶蚀以及Al的迁移富集特征明显。通过斜长石溶蚀形成高岭石的化学反应方程式,对比反应前后斜长石含量的变化,对河140井2 9213~2 9258 m深度段的砂岩进行了理论高岭石含量的计算。这种理论计算结果和实际形成高岭石含量曲线的差异,说明相对开放体系里长石溶蚀产物Al发生了微观的迁移富集作用。通过研究牛庄凹陷砂岩夹层中高岭石的含量分布特征,发现在砂泥岩界面靠近砂体一侧出现高岭石的富集,说明长石溶蚀产物Al在一定的流体动力条件下发生了迁移富集。研究区储层中长石溶解后形成高岭石,且其分布基本上受流体活动活跃的砂/泥岩界面位置和岩石物性控制。以钠长石和钾长石溶蚀形成高岭石和石英为例,对成岩反应前后岩石的体积变化进行了理论计算,结果表明如果长石溶解产物Al没有发生较大尺度的迁移,那么长石溶蚀后几乎相等体积的次生矿物将会沉淀充填孔隙。对于碎屑岩储层,次生孔隙发育的岩相学特征只能说明砂岩骨架颗粒发生了溶蚀作用、引起了孔隙重新分布、增加了砂体的非均质性,不足以说明砂岩孔隙度是否会真正提高。同时高岭石含量不能作为有效次生孔隙发育的标志,只有在Al发生迁移净输出之后,才能真正提高储集层的物性。  相似文献

Clay minerals from different Cretaceous stratigraphic successions of Egypt were investigated using XRD,DTA,dissolution analysis(DCB),IR,Moessbauer and X-band Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) spectroscopies.The purity of the samples and the degree of structural order were determined by XRD.The location of Fe in the octahedral sheet is characterized by absorption bands at-875cm^-1 assigned as Al-OH-Fe which is present after chemical dissolution of free iron.The Moessbauer spectra of these clays sow two doublets with isomer shift and quadrupole splitting typical of octahedral coordinated Fe^3 ,in addition to third doubler with hyperfine parameter typical of Fe^2 in the spectra of Abu-Had kaolinite (H)sample.6-lines magnetic hyperfine components which are consistent with those of hematite are confirmed in the spectra of both Isel and Rish kaolinite samples.Goethite was confirmed by both IR and DTA.Multiple nature of ESR of these clays suggested structural Fe in distorted octaedral symmetry and as non-structural Fe.Little dispersion and low swelling indices as well as incomplete activaiton of investigated montmorillonite samples by NaCO3 appear to be due to incomplete disaggregation of montmorillonite particles.This can be explained by the ability of Fe-gel to aggregate the montmorillonite into pseudo-particles and retard the rigid-gel structure.However,extraction of this ferric amorphous compound by dithonite treatment recovers the surface properties of the montmorillonite samples.On the other hand,amounts and site occupation of Fe associated with kaolinite samples show a negative correlation with the parameters used to describe the degree of crystalline perfection,color,brightness and vitrification range of these kaolinite samples.  相似文献

This study introduces an alkaline leaching technique for the simultaneous analysis of biogenic silica and aluminium in sediments. Measuring aluminium facilitates the discrimination between silica from the biogenic (BSiO2) and the non-biogenic fraction, because it originates almost solely from the lithogenic phase. The method was tested using fine-grained silicagel, standard clay minerals, artificial sediments, and natural samples ranging from fresh diatoms to aged sediment from different depositional settings. To determine the BSiO2 content, four different models each describing the dissolution curves, but of increasing complexity, were applied and for each different type of sample the optimum model was selected on the basis of F-test statistics. For mixtures of silicagel and clay minerals, the contribution of Si from the dissolution of clay was negligible compared to Si originating from silicagel. For natural samples with high clay content, complex dissolution curves were observed and single-phase first order dissolution was the exception. This deviation from `ideal' behavior could only be recognized because of high-resolution sampling, especially in the first 20 minutes of the experiment. For most of the samples, the distinction between the biogenic silica fraction and the silica originating from dissolution of clays could be made on the basis of the Si/Al ratios and reactivity constants of the dissolving phases calculated with the models. Clay minerals typically dissolve slowly at a Si/Al ratio close to 1–2, depending on the type of clay mineral. In contrast, biogenic silica displays a wide range of reactivities and Si/Al ratios. Fresh biogenic silica from the water column usually has a high reactivity and a low Al content. Aged biogenic silica from the sediments has a lower reactivity, but Si/Al ratios as low as 5 were found. The method as described here therefore presents an accurate method to analyze biogenic silica in marine sediments with a relatively high clay mineral content.  相似文献

Clays, particularly kaolinite, are promising adsorbents for the treatment of textile effluents, but there is a need of better understanding the mechanisms of adsorption, especially in the case of anionic dyes. Thus, the removal of RR120 anionic dye was investigated using Tunisian raw clay (TBK) composed of kaolinite and illite, and a standard kaolinite (KGa-2), and conducting batch experiments by varying different parameters (contact time, ionic strength, concentration, temperature). We investigated the clays’ surface charges by electrophoretic mobility measures and the dye-clay interactions during adsorption, by the streaming-induced potentials (SIP). The results showed that KGa-2 has higher adsorption capacity for RR120 dye than TBK clay, moreover enhanced by increasing the ionic strength and/or lowering the pH of the aqueous. The SIP results showed an increase of negative charges for both clays, reflecting the adsorption of the anionic dye on the positive charges of the amphoteric surfaces of the clays. The SIP magnitudes indicated a higher adsorption rate for KGa-2 in accordance with the kinetic study. The Sips model that described the best adsorption isotherms indicates lateral interactions of the dye molecules, stronger in the case of KGa-2 than TBK. Also, the dye molecules form a thinner layer on KGa-2 surfaces. In addition, the dye molecule’s structure was not altered, as verified by mass spectrometry. The adsorption process was feasible and spontaneous and favored at ambient temperature. Thus, kaolinite-rich clays are effective in the removal of anionic dyes in aqueous solution and potential good adsorbents in wastewater treatment.  相似文献
