A simple one-step synthetic approach using rice husk has been developed to prepare magnetic Fe3O4-loaded porous carbons composite (MRH) for removal of arsenate (As(V)). The characteristics of adsorbent were evaluated by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. On account of the combined advantages of rice husk carbons and Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the synthesized MRH composites showed excellent adsorption efficiency for aqueous As(V). The removal of As(V) by the MRH was studied as a function of contact time, initial concentration of As(V), and media pH. The adsorption kinetics of As(V) exhibited a rapid sorption dynamics by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, implying the mechanism of chemisorption. The adsorption data of As(V) were fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum uptake amount (q m ) was calculated as 4.33 mg g?1. The successive regeneration and reuse studies showed that the MRH kept the sorption efficiencies over five cycles. The obtained results demonstrate that the MRH can be utilized as an efficient and low-cost adsorbent for removal of As(V) from aqueous solutions.  相似文献

A novel adsorbent for heavy metal remediation in aqueous environments   总被引：9，自引：8，他引：1  
The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of using maize tassel as an alternative adsorbent for the removal of chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of pH, solution temperature, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and adsorbent dose on the adsorption of chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) by tassel was investigated using batch methods. Adsorption for both chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) was found to be highly pH dependent compared to the other parameters investigated. Obtained results gave an adsorption capacity of 79.1 % for chromium (VI) at pH 2, exposure time of 1h at 25 °C. Maximum capacity of cadmium of 88 % was obtained in the pH range of 5-6 at 25 °C after exposure time of 1 h. The adsorption capacities of tassel for both chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) were found to be comparable to those of other commercial adsorbents currently in use for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous wastes. These results have demonstrated the immense potential of maize tassel as an alternative adsorbent for toxic metal ions remediation in polluted water and wastewater.  相似文献

The discharge of industrial effluents containing hexavalent chromium can be very harmful for the environment. Therefore, Cr(VI) should be removed from contaminated water, and especially from wastewater, to prevent its discharge into the environment. This study is aimed at analyzing the factors that affect the removal of Cr(VI) with the use of almond green hull and ash adsorbent. The effects of pH (2–10), adsorbent dose (2–24 g/L), Cr(VI) concentration (10–100 mg/L), exposure time (1–60 min), and temperature (5–50 °C) were examined. The surface morphology, pore size of adsorbent surfaces were characterized with SEM, EDX, FTIR. Maximum removal occurred at pH = 2. Results showed that the removal yield increased with the rise of exposure time and temperature. The data indicate that due to limited site on adsorbent surface, the removal efficiency decreased as initial Cr(VI) concentration increased. When the adsorbent dose was increased, the removal yield increased in the case of the bioadsorbent as well; however, in the ash adsorbent, there was an increase followed by a decreasing trend. The study highlights that almond green hull can be more efficient than its ash in the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. As a general result of study, it can be argued that almond green hull bioadsorbent and the obtained carbon are able to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions; thus, they can be used as efficient and economical substitutes for existing adsorbents like activated carbon, for the removal of chromium from polluted aqueous solutions.  相似文献

The removal of hexavalent chromium from wastewater streams has received an considerable attention in recent years, since it can cause harmful effects on the environment. Several approaches, including adsorption, are recognized to tackle this problem, but unfortunately most of these processes are impressed with practical conditions of the experiments. The main objective of this study was to recognize applicable conditions for Cr(VI) removal from an industrial drainage using nature-derived adsorbents (brown coal and modified zeolite) and to make the process more adaptive by using adsorbents conjointly. Batch experiments were carried out by agitating Cr(VI) stock solution with adsorbents at room temperature. The influence of main operating parameters was explored, and the best proportion of the adsorbents was determined. Maximum sorption of Cr(VI) onto brown coal was observed at pH = 4 by adding 60 g L?1 adsorbent to contaminated solution. In case of using zeolite, the modification process was required, and the pH indicated a weak influence in a wide range (2–8). Optimum dosage of modified zeolite for Cr(VI) removal was 10 g L?1. The hybrid application of adsorbents with the mass ratio of brown coal/modified zeolite at (3:1) was capable of removing more than 99% of Cr(VI) from contaminated wastewater in the natural pH range of the wastewater. The adsorption of Cr(VI) by brown coal and modified zeolite followed Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Sorption of Cr(VI) onto both brown coal and modified zeolite fitted well to pseudo-second-order rate reaction.  相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of low-cost adsorbents including bentonite, kaolinite and zeolite saturated with calcium and potassium, potato and wheat residues, and three metal oxide nanoparticles functionalized with an acidic extract of potato residues in improving the quality of sodic waters. The optimization of factors such as pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage was investigated using a solution containing sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The optimal pH and contact time were 7.0 and 24 h, respectively. The optimal dosage for using functionalized nanoparticles was 0.1 g and for using other adsorbents was 1.0 g. The sodium exchange isotherms were conducted in binary sodium–calcium and sodium–potassium and quaternary sodium–calcium–magnesium–potassium systems. Zeolite saturated with potassium was the most effective adsorbent in removing sodium from aqueous solutions with an average removal efficiency of 69.2 and 66.5 % in binary and quaternary systems, respectively. Freundlich and Langmuir equations fitted well to experimental data in both binary and quaternary systems. Cation selectivity coefficients calculated based on the Gaines–Thomas convention varied with changing pH and adsorbent dosage. Graphical and statistical evaluations confirmed that the mechanistic cation exchange model using average Gaines–Thomas selectivity coefficients in geochemical PHREEQC program was able to successfully simulate the sodium exchange on different adsorbents in both systems. The Gaines–Thomas selectivity coefficient values greater than unity and as a consequence, the negative values of the Gibbs free energy change of adsorption indicated that sodium exchange reactions in the presence of different adsorbents used is this study were exergonic and spontaneous.  相似文献

This work aimed to investigate the adsorption characteristics, both kinetically and thermodynamically, of Cu(II) and Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions onto mixed-waste activated carbon, as well as to study the competitive behavior found in mixed heavy metal solution systems. This study shows that activated carbon prepared from mixed waste is an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions, with the aim of detoxifying industrial effluents before their safe disposal onto water surfaces. The adsorption process was characterized in terms of kinetic and thermodynamic studies. In addition, the influence of presence of Cu(II) and Pb(II) in a competitive system was investigated. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacities were gained at a pH of 6 with a contact time of 180 min, a metal solution concentration of 300 ppm, and an adsorbent dose of 0.3 g/L. The adsorption process was found to follow a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG o, ΔH o, and ΔS o showed that the sorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. A competitive study demonstrated the applicability of mixed-waste activated carbon to adsorb Cu(II) and Pb(II) from a solution of mixed metals. In addition, the adsorption capacity was found to be as effective as other adsorbents reported in the literature. The developed adsorptive removal procedure was applied for treatment of real wastewater samples and showed high removal efficiency.  相似文献

Adsorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions by wheat bran   总被引：7，自引：6，他引：1  
In this research, adsorption of chromium (VI) ions on wheat bran has been studied through using batch adsorption techniques. The main objectives of this study are to 1) investigate the chromium adsorption from aqueous solution by wheat bran, 2) study the influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and initial chromium concentration on adsorption process performance and 3) determine appropriate adsorption isotherm and kinetics parameters of chromium (VI) adsorption on wheat bran. The results of this study showed that adsorption of chromium by wheat bran reached to equilibrium after 60 min and after that a little change of chromium removal efficiency was observed. Higher chromium adsorption was observed at lower pHs, and maximum chromium removal (87.8 %) obtained at pH of 2. The adsorption of chromium by wheat bran decreased at the higher initial chromium concentration and lower adsorbent doses. The obtained results showed that the adsorption of chromium (VI) by wheat bran follows Langmuir isotherm equation with a correlation coefficient equal to 0.997. In addition, the kinetics of the adsorption process follows the pseudo second-order kinetics model with a rate constant value of 0.131 g/mg.min The results indicate that wheat bran can be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial adsorbents in the removal of chromium (VI) from water and wastewater.  相似文献

Batch and column experiments were conducted on As adsorption from aqueous solution by natural solids to test the feasibility of these materials to act as adsorbents for As removal from groundwater and drinking water. The solids considered are natural hematite and natural siderite. The As species studied are As(V), As(III) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA). Arsenic(III), As(V) and DMA were removed to different extents by the solids studied from water solutions containing these three As species, with the highest efficiency for As(V). In aqueous solutions with a mixture of As species, adsorption kinetics depend on the species. On both materials, As(V) was preferentially adsorbed in the batches and first reached equilibrium, followed by DMA and As(III). The As adsorption took place more slowly on natural hematite and natural siderite compared with ferrihydrite. The results demonstrate that the amount of As removed from As(III) batches was greater than that from As(V) batches due to a surface alteration of the solids caused by As(III) oxidation. Although the highest efficiency for As retention was observed on hematite HIO1 in the batch experiments, siderite used as column filling was more efficient in removing As from water containing the As species studied in comparison with hematite. The coating of fresh Fe(III)-oxides was much more intensive in the siderite-packed column than in the hematite-packed column. The combination of siderite and hematite would promote the column filling performance in removing As from aqueous solution.  相似文献

The batch removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions using almond shell, activated sawdust, and activated carbon, which are low-cost biological wastes under different experimental conditions, was investigated in this study. The influences of initial concentration, adsorbent dose, adsorbent particle size, agitation speed, temperature, contact time, and pH of solution were investigated. The adsorption was solution pH dependent and the maximum adsorption was observed at a solution pH of 2.0. The capacity of chromium adsorption under equilibrium conditions increased with the decrease in particle sizes. The equilibrium was achieved for chromium ion after 30?min. Experimental results showed that low-cost biosorbents are effective for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solution. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model gave a better fit of the experimental data as compared to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Experimental data showed a good fit with the Freundlich isotherm model. Changes in the thermodynamic parameters, including Gibbs free energy (??Go), enthalpy (??Ho), and entropy (??So), indicated that the biosorption of hexavalent chromium onto almond shell, activated sawdust, and activated carbon was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in the temperature range 28?C50?°C.  相似文献

The biosorption of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solutions by two adsorbents viz. mango and neem sawdust was studied under a batch mode. An initial pH of 2.0 was most favorable for chromium (VI) removal by both the adsorbents. The results obtained for the final concentration of chromium (VI) and chromium (DI) at a pH range of 2–8 indicated that a combined effect of biosorption and reduction was involved in the chromium (VI) removal specially when the pH value is lower than 3. The maximum loading capacity was calculated from adsorption isotherms by applying the Langmuir model and found to be higher for neem sawdust (58.82 mg/g). Evaluation of experimental data in terms of biosorption kinetics showed that the biosorption of chromium (VI) by neem sawdust followed pseudo second-order kinetics. Therefore, the rate limiting step may be chemical sorption or chemisorption. The efficiency of this process was examined in using tannery wastewater contaminated with chromium (VI) ions in column mode.  相似文献

The removal of poisonous Pb (II) from wastewater by different low-cost abundant adsorbents was investigated. Rice husks, maize cobs and sawdust, were used at different adsorbent/metal ion ratios. The influence of pH, contact time, metal concentration, adsorbent concentration on the selectivity and sensitivity of the removal process was investigated. The adsorption efficiencies were found to be pH dependent, increasing by increasing the solution pH in the range from 2.5 to 6.5. The equilibrium time was attained after 120 min and the maximum removal percentage was achieved at an adsorbent loading weight of 1.5 gm. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of adsorbents used for lead were measured and extrapolated using linear Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherms and the experimental data were found to fit the Temkin isotherm model.  相似文献

Naturally occurring pyroclastic materials, quartz-rich tuffs (Qz) and stellerite tuffs, were evaluated for their capacities to remove As(V) from aqueous solutions. The mechanism of As(V) uptake was evaluated using sequential extraction of As(V)-loaded adsorbent which entailed that the plausible removal mechanism is sorption to short-range ordered hydrous oxides of iron and aluminum. In addition, buffering effects of adsorbents could form favorable charges upon them through hydrolysis of amphoteric oxides, enhancing the performance of sorption. The influence of anions co-existing with As(V) in water such as carbonate, bicarbonate, nitrate, chloride, phosphate, and sulfate was studied in a batch sorption process. The impact of most anions on As(V) removal was found to be negligible except phosphate. The sorption behavior well fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich models. Estimated maximum sorption capacities of 0.42 and 0.23 mg/L were observed using quartz-rich tuffs and stellerite tuffs, respectively. As(V) concentration of 0.8 mg/L was easily decreased to below the drinking water standard of 0.01 mg/L using Qz adsorbent, whereas 0.1 mg/L As(V) decreased to below this limit upon the use of stellerite tuffs under similar conditions. The buffering capacity of quartz-rich tuffs and stellerite tuffs induced a pH increase to 5.76 and 5.40, respectively, from initial pH of 3.50, which will incur an important asset in real applications.  相似文献

Due to the severity of arsenic contamination of soil and water resources around the world, finding new adsorbents for arsenic removal from the water is of high importance. The present study investigates the possible use and effectiveness of starch-stabilized Fe/Cu nanoparticles for adsorption of arsenic from aqueous solutions. First, Fe/Cu nanoparticles at various starch concentrations of 0, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 wt% were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and zeta potential/particle size analyzer. Then 0.04 wt% stabilized Fe/Cu nanoparticles were tested for the sorption of As(III) and As(V) from synthetic arsenic-contaminated water. To have an understanding about the arsenic adsorption mechanism of nanoparticles, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed before and after adsorption. The results showed that starch provides nanoparticles with a neutral surface and stabilization of nanoparticles is possible with 0.04 wt% or higher concentrations of starch. For 0.04 wt% starch-stabilized Fe/Cu nanoparticles, the adsorption isotherms fit well within the Langmuir equation, with maximum sorption capacities of 90.1 mg/g for As(III) and 126.58 mg/g for As(V) at a pH of 7.0 from the aqueous arsenic solutions. Examining the XPS spectra of nanoparticles before and after adsorption showed that arsenic adsorption by this nanoparticle can be due to the formation of inner-sphere arsenic complexes on the particle surface, and the surface oxygen-containing functional groups involved in adsorption. The high sorption capacity suggests the potential for applying starch-stabilized Fe/Cu nanoparticles to the contaminated waters for removal of arsenic.  相似文献

Removal of dyes by low-cost adsorbents is an effective method in wastewater treatment. Iranian natural clays were determined to be effective adsorbents for removal of a basic dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solutions in batch processes. Characterizations of the clays were carried out by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Effects of the operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, solution pH and temperature were investigated on the adsorption performance. Adsorption isotherms like Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin were used to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data and Langmuir isotherm was the best fit. Adsorption kinetics was investigated by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models and the results showed that the adsorption system conforms well to the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption (ΔS°, ΔH° and ΔG°) were obtained and showed that the adsorption processes were exothermic.  相似文献

Open burnt clay was studied as a potential adsorbent for the adsorption of Congo red (a reactive dye) from aqueous solution. The effect of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage and temperature were studied. It was observed that the amount of Congo red retained increase with decreasing pH and increasing initial concentration. Removal percentage at pH 2 and 3 are almost same. The adsorption capacity of regenerated burnt clay was showed more than 98 % recovery of the adsorption efficiency of initial virgin adsorbent. The equilibrium data were described well by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of some natural adsorbents, namely rice husk, wood charcoal, tea waste etc. were also investigated and compared with that of open burnt clay.  相似文献

In this study, the feasibility of using a low-cost adsorbent mixture composed of leonardite (L) and clinoptilolite (C) was evaluated by batch adsorption method using different parameters such as mixing ratio, contact time, pH, temperature, and adsorbent amount for the removal of Zn (II) ions from an aqueous solution. The adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, leonardite–clinoptilolite mixture was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray. The Zn (II) adsorption along with an unprecedented adsorption capacity of 454.55 mg g?1 for unmodified natural sorbents was obtained by mixing leonardite and clinoptilolite (LC) without any pretreatment at a ratio of 3:1, using 0.1 g of sorbent at a pH 6, for 2 h of contact time. The experimental data showed a good fit for the Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the present adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic in nature (25–50 °C). The kinetic results of the adsorption showed that the Zn (II) adsorption onto the LC follows pseudo-second-order model. The resultant LC mixture has an excellent adsorption capacity of a Zn (II) aqueous solution, and data obtained may form the basis for utilization of LC as an unpretreated low-cost adsorbent for treatment of metalliferous industrial wastewater.  相似文献

The use of natural zeolites for environmental applications is gaining new research interests mainly due to their properties and significant worldwide occurrence. The present work describes the characterization of a natural Chilean zeolite and the results as adsorbent for ammonia from aqueous solutions. The zeolitic-rich tuff sample, mainly composed of clinoptilolite and mordenite, consisted of 13 μm mean volumetric particle diameter, 55 m2 g−1 (methylene blue adsorption) and 177 m2 g−1 (nitrogen adsorption) of specific surface area. Particles were negatively charged over a broad pH range (with or without ammonia) and 1.02 meq NH4+ g−1 cation-exchange capacity. The ammonia removal appears to proceed through ion-exchange and rapid kinetics (rate constant of 0.3 min−1) at neutral pH value, with removal capacities up to 0.68 meq NH4+ g−1. The Langmuir isotherm model provided excellent equilibrium data fitting (R2=0.97). Results indicate a significant potential for the Chilean natural zeolite as an adsorbent/ion-exchange material for wastewater treatment and water reuse applications.  相似文献

Batch and column experiments were conducted to examine the capability of naturally formed hematite and siderite to remove As from drinking water. Results show that both minerals were able to remove As from aqueous solutions, but with different efficiencies. In general, each material removed arsenate much more efficiently than As–DMA (dimethylarsinic acid), with the lowest adsorption efficiency for arsenite. The best removal efficiency for As species was obtained using a hematite, with a grain size range between 0.25 and 0.50 mm. The adsorption capacity for inorganic As(V) reached 202 μg/g. The pH generally had a great impact on the arsenate removal by the Fe minerals studied, while arsenite removal was slightly dependent on the initial pH of between 3 and 10. The presence of phosphate always had a negative effect on arsenate adsorption, due to competitive adsorption between them. A column packed with hematite in the upper half and siderite in the lower half with a grain size range of 0.25–0.5 mm proved to be an efficient reactive filter for the removal of all As species, causing a decrease in As concentration from 500 μg/L (including 200 μg/L As(V) as arsenate, 200 μg/L As(III) as arsenite and 100 μg/L As(V) as DMA) to less than 10 μg/L after 1055 pore volumes of water were filtered at a flow rate of 0.51 mL/min. After 2340 pore volumes passed through the column filter, the total inorganic As in the effluent was less than 5 μg/L. The total As load in the column filter was estimated to be 0.164 mg/g. Results of μ-synchrotron X-ray fluorescence analysis (μ-XRFA) suggest that coatings of fresh Fe(III) oxides, formed on the surface of the siderite grains after two weeks of operation, greatly increased the adsorption capacity of the filling material towards As.  相似文献

In the present experimental study, solid waste was used as an adsorbent and the effectiveness of the adsorbent was increased by novel treatment methods. Red mud, acid-treated activated red mud and iron oxide-coated acid-treated activated red mud were used for the removal of lead (II). The structural and functional groups were identified to confirm the removal of lead (II) by powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The enhancement of surface area was confirmed by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. Batch adsorption experiment was also conducted, and various parameters such as the effect of adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time and initial ion concentration were analyzed and reported. Adsorption equilibrium data were investigated using Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models with three parameters, and the rate of reaction was examined through kinetic models. The results indicate that in particular a novel modified form of red mud, namely iron oxide-coated acid-treated activated red mud was well fitted in lead (II) removal compared with reported adsorbents. The Langmuir isotherm shows that the maximum adsorption of adsorbate per gram was greater than other adsorbents (27.02 mg/g). In Freundlich isotherm, the Freundlich constant n values lie between 1 and 10 indicate the favorable adsorption. The calculated n values for normal red mud, acid-treated activated red mud and iron oxide-coated acid-treated activated red mud were found to be 1.9, 2.1 and 2.0 respectively. The correlation coefficient value was higher and the rate of reaction follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.  相似文献
