金属有机框架材料UTSA-74高效去除水溶液中的砷

利用水热法合成金属有机框架材料UTSA-74,并用它同时去除水中的As(Ⅴ)和As(Ⅲ)。 批次实验结果表明,在低质量浓度情况下(~1 mg/L),UTSA-74对As(Ⅴ)的去除率高达95%。 对As(Ⅲ)的去除率达85%。 经拟合,本实验符合拟二级动力学及Freundlich等温吸附模型。 本文还探究了共存离子(如Cl^-、NO₃^-、PO₄^3-)干扰影响,结果表明PO₄^3-的存在会抑制吸附的进行,可能是由于竞争吸附位点所致。 此外,本文对吸附后的材料进行洗脱(0.1 mol/L NaOH),将洗脱后的UTSA-74材料再次进行吸附探究,反复3次,其去除率仍可达70%左右。 为探究其中机理,本文通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、红外光谱(IR)对吸附前后材料进行表征,结果表明吸附过程中可能形成了Zn—O—As,以此促进吸附反应的进行。 综上所述,UTSA-74可以作为一种处理砷的新型吸附剂,具有一定的实用价值。     

Assessment of the Arsenic Removal From Water Using Lanthanum Ferrite

The catalytic performance of a perovskite-type lanthanum ferrite LaFeO₃ to remove arsenic from water has been investigates for the first time. LaFeO₃ was prepared by citrate auto-combustion of dry gel obtained from a solution of the corresponding nitrates poured into citric acid solution. Kinetic studies were performed in the dark with As(V) and in the dark and under UV-C irradiation at pH 6–7 with As(III) (both 1 mg L⁻¹), and As : Fe molar ratios (MR) of 1 : 10 and 1 : 100 using the LaFeO₃ catalyst. As(V) was removed from solution after 60 min in the dark in 7 % and in 47 % for MR=1 : 10 and MR=1 : 100, respectively, indicating the importance of the amount of the iron material on the removal. Oxidation of As(III) in the dark was negligible after 60 min in contact with the solid sample, but complete removal of As(III) was observed within 60 min of irradiation at 254 nm, due to As(III) photooxidation to As(V) and to As(III) sorption to a minor extent. Morphological and microstructural studies of the catalyst complement the catalytic testing. This work demonstrates that LaFeO₃ can be used for the removal of As(III) from highly arsenic contaminated water.     

Evaluation of a Renewable Resource-based Carbon-Iron Oxide Nanocomposite for Removal of Arsenic from Contaminated Water

High arsenic concentration in groundwater is found in many countries, including Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Thailand and United States. In these countries, the arsenic concentrations have reached dangerous levels for human consumption, especially where the main source of drinking water is from groundwater. Many techniques have been developed for arsenic removal, one being the use of iron oxide or magnetite nanoparticles for heavy metal removal. In this study, a novel tannin-based carbon-iron oxide composite has been developed by us for arsenic removal and results show that a concentration of 100 ppb As in water could be brought down to <10 ppb with the maximum capacity of the arsenic removal calculated to be 1.5 mg As/g Fe in the nanocomposite. The characterization of the nanocomposite and the advantages of using this renewable resource-based nanocomposite are also discussed.     

Use of ferric-impregnated volcanic ash for arsenate (V) adsorption from contaminated water with various mineralization degrees

Ferric-impregnated volcanic ash (FVA) which consisted mainly of different forms of iron and aluminum oxide minerals was developed for arsenate (V) removal from an aqueous medium. The adsorption experiments were conducted in both DI water samples and actual water (Lake Kasumigaura, Japan) to investigate the effects of solution mineralization degree on the As(V) removal. Kinetic and equilibrium studies conducted in actual water revealed that the mineralization of water greatly elevated the As(V) adsorption on FVA. The experiment performed in DI water indicated that the existence of multivalence metallic cations significantly enhanced the As(V) adsorption ability, whereas competing anions such as fluoride and phosphate greatly decreased the As(V) adsorption. It is suggested that FVA is a cost-effective adsorbent for As(V) removal in low-level phosphate and fluoride solution. It was important to conduct the batch experiment using the actual water to investigate the arsenic removal on adsorbents.     

铁基水处理材料除砷技术的研究进展

Arsenic (V) adsorption on Fe3O4 nanoparticle-coated boron nitride nanotubes

Multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) functionalized with Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) were used for arsenic removal from water solutions. Sonication followed by a heating process was developed to in situ functionalize Fe(3)O(4) NPs onto a tube surface. A batch of adsorption experiments conducted at neutral pH (6.9) and room temperature (25 °C) and using the developed nanocomposites revealed effective arsenic (V) removal. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherms were measured for a range of As(V) initial concentrations from 1 to 40 mg/L under the same conditions. The equilibrium data well fitted all isotherms, indicating that the mechanism for As(V) adsorption was a combination of chemical complexation and physical electrostatic attraction with a slight preference for chemisorption. The magnetite NPs functionalized on BNNTs led to a simple and rapid separation of magnetic metal-loaded adsorbents from the treated water under an external magnetic field.     

On‐Line Determination of Arsenic Species in Sea Water by Selective Hydride Generation Coupled with Inductively Coupled Plasma — Mass Spectrometry

A method for direct de termination of total in organic arsenic (III+V), arsenic (III) and dimethylarsinate (DMA) in sea water was developed by combining continuous‐flow selective hydride generation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) is presented. The principle underlying selective hydride generation is based on proper control of the reaction conditions for achieving separation of the respective arsenic species. The effects of pH and composition of reaction media on mutual interference between the arsenic species were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the appropriate media for the selective determination of total in organic arsenic, DMA and As(III) are 6 M HNO₃, acetate buffer at pH = 4.63 and citrate buffer at pH = 6.54, respectively. The concentrations of total inorganic arsenic species, As(III+V), and As(III) were respectively deter mined and that of As(V) was obtained by the difference between them. As to the concentration of DMA, it was obtained after correction from the interference caused by As(III) and As(V). By following the established procedure, the detection lim its (as based on 3‐sigma criterion) for As(III+V), As(III) and DMA were 0.050, 0.009, and 0.002 ng/mL, respectively. There liability of the pro posed method was evaluated in terms of precision and spike addition. The results indicated that the precision of better than 3% and spike recovery of 95 to 105% for all the arsenic species tested in the natural sea water samples can be obtained.

Adsorption of As(III) from aqueous solutions by iron oxide-coated sand

Arsenic is a toxic element and may be found in natural waters as well as in industrial waters. Leaching of arsenic from industrial wastewater into groundwater may cause significant contamination, which requires proper treatment before its use as drinking water. The present study describes removal of arsenic(III) on iron oxide-coated sand in batch studies conducted as a function of pH, time, initial arsenic concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The results were compared with those for uncoated sand. The adsorption data fitted well in the Langmuir model at different initial concentration of As(III) at 20 g/l fixed adsorbent dose. Maximum adsorption of As(III) for coated sand is found to be much higher (28.57 microg/g) than that for uncoated sand (5.63 microg/g) at pH 7.5 in 2 h. The maximum As(III) removal efficiency achieved is 99% for coated sand at an adsorbent dose of 20 g/l with initial As(III) concentration of 100 microg/l in batch studies. Column studies have also been carried out with 400 microg/l arsenic (pH 7.5) by varying the contact time, filtration rate, and bed depth. Results of column studies demonstrated that at a filtration rate of 4 ml/min the maximum removal of As(III) observed was 94% for coated sand in a contact time of 2 h. The results observed in batch and column studies indicate that iron oxide-coated sand is a suitable adsorbent for reducing As(III) concentration to the limit (50 microg/l) recommended by Indian Standards for Drinking Water.

Highly Sensitive Voltammetric Speciation and Determination of Inorganic Arsenic in Water and Alloy Samples Using Ammonium 2‐Amino‐1‐Cyclopentene‐1‐Dithiocarboxylate

A simple, fast, reproducible (2.5% RSD at 3.0 μg/L), and sensitive method is described for quantifying As(III) (0.3 μg/L detection limit, 0.5–440 μg/L dynamic range). Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) is performed after accumulating arsenic at a mercury film electrode at ?0.350 V vs. Ag/AgCl (saturated KCl) for 20 s in 0.2 M HCl containing 8 μM ammonium 2‐amino‐1‐cyclopentene‐1‐dithiocarboxylate (AACD), without oxygen removal. This is the first report of using AACD in ASV and in electrochemical quantification of As(III). Total arsenic is determined after sodium‐sulfite‐reduction of As(V) to As(III). Interferences are minimal. Method validation involved water and metal alloy samples.     

Low pressure chromatographic separation of inorganic arsenic species using solid phase extraction cartridges

Routine water analysis of arsenic species requires simple, inexpensive, rapid and sensitive methods. To this end, we have developed two methods, which are based on the use of inexpensive solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges as low pressure chromatographic columns for separation and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HGAFS) for detection of arsenic. Both anion exchange and reverse phase cartridges were successfully used to separate arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)]. The composition, concentration, and pH of eluting buffers and the effect of flow rate were systematically investigated. Speciation of inorganic As(III) and As(V) were achieved within 1.5 min, with detection limits of 0.2 and 0.4 ng/ml, respectively. Both isocratic and step gradient elution techniques were suitable for the baseline resolution of As(III) and As(V) using anion exchange cartridges. Application of the methods to the speciation of As(III) and As(V) in untreated water, tap water, and bottled water samples were demonstrated. Results from the speciation of arsenic in a standard reference material water sample using these methods were in good agreement with the certified value and with inter-laboratory comparison results obtained using HPLC separation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-ICPMS).     

Speciation of arsenic in a contaminated soil by solvent extraction

Soil collected from a disused cattle dip in northern New South Wales was studied with the aim of developing an inexpensive, yet effective method for quantitative determination of arsenic(III), arsenic(V) and total organic arsenic in a contaminated soil. Hydrochloric acid extractions were used as a method for removal of the arsenic from the soil in a form suitable for speciation. It was found that the extraction efficiency varied with the ratio of soil to acid, and the concentration of the acid. Arsenic(III), as arsenic trichloride, was selectively extracted into chloroform from a solution highly concentrated in hydrochloric acid. This was followed by back-extraction of the arsenic into water. Total inorganic arsenic was determined in a similar manner after the reduction of arsenic(V) to the trivalent state with potassium iodide. Arsenic(V) was determined by the difference between the results for arsenic(III) and total inorganic arsenic. All analyses for the various arsenic species were performed by hydride generation-atomic absorption spectroscopy; concentrations of total arsenic in the soil were confirmed using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. It was found that all the arsenic in the soil was present as inorganic arsenic in the pentavalent state. This reflects the ability of arsenic to interchange between species, since the original species in cattle dipping solution is arsenic(III).     

Synthetic Iowaite Can Effectively Remove Inorganic Arsenic from Marine Extract

For the removal of arsenic from marine products, iowaite was prepared and investigated to determine the optimal adsorption process of arsenic. Different chemical forms of arsenic (As(III), As(V)) with varying concentrations (0.15, 1.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/L) under various conditions including pH (3, 5, 7, 9, 11) and contact time (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 min) were exposed to iowaite. Adsorption isotherms and metal ions kinetic modeling onto the adsorbent were determined based on Langmuir, Freundlich, first- and second-order kinetic models. The adsorption onto iowaite varied depending on the conditions. The adsorption rates of standard solution, As(III) and As(V) exceeded 95% under proper conditions, while high complexity was noted with marine samples. As(III) and As(V) from Mactra veneriformis extraction all decreased when exposed to iowaite. The inclusion morphology and interconversion of organic arsenic limit adsorption. Iowaite can be efficiently used for inorganic arsenic removal from wastewater and different marine food products, which maybe other adsorbent or further performance of iowaite needs to be investigated for organic arsenic.     

Arsenic adsorption onto hematite and goethite

Surface complexation reactions on mineral affect the fate and the transport of arsenic in environmental systems and the global cycle of this element. In this work, the sorption of As(V) on two commercial iron oxides (hematite and goethite) was studied as a function of different physico-chemical parameters such as pH and ionic strength. The main trend observed in the variation of the arsenic sorbed with the pH is a strong retention in acidic pH and the decrease of the sorption on both sorbents at alkaline pH values. The sorption experiments for these iron oxides show that there is no effect of the ionic strength on arsenate adsorption suggesting the formation of an inner sphere surface complex. At pH values corresponding to natural pH water, both hematite and goethite are able to adsorb more than 80% of arsenic, whatever the initial concentration may be. The iron oxides used in this work should be suitable candidates as sorbents for As(V) removal technologies.     

Voltammetric determination of arsenic in high iron and manganese groundwaters

Determination of the speciation of arsenic in groundwaters, using cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV), is severely hampered by high levels of iron and manganese. Experiments showed that the interference is eliminated by addition of EDTA, making it possible to determine the arsenic speciation on-site by CSV. This work presents the CSV method to determine As(III) in high-iron or -manganese groundwaters in the field with only minor sample treatment. The method was field-tested in West-Bengal (India) on a series of groundwater samples. Total arsenic was subsequently determined after acidification to pH 1 by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Comparative measurements by ICP-MS as reference method for total As, and by HPLC for its speciation, were used to corroborate the field data in stored samples. Most of the arsenic (78 ± 0.02%) was found to occur as inorganic As(III) in the freshly collected waters, in accordance with previous studies. The data shows that the modified on-site CSV method for As(III) is a good measure of water contamination with As. The EDTA was also found to be effective in stabilising the arsenic speciation for longterm sample storage at room temperature. Without sample preservation, in water exposed to air and sunlight, the As(III) was found to become oxidised to As(V), and Fe(II) oxidised to Fe(III), removing the As(V) by adsorption on precipitating Fe(III)-hydroxides within a few hours.     

Removal of As(III) and As(V) by natural and synthetic metal oxides

The removal properties of As(III) and As(V) by the several metal oxides having different mineral type and content of metals were investigated in batch and column reactors. The used metal oxides were Fe-oxide loaded sand (ILS), Mn-oxide loaded sand (MLS), activated alumina (AA), sericite (SC) and iron sand (IS). From the pH-edge adsorption experiments with AA and ILS, maximum As(III) adsorption was observed around neutral pH while As(V) adsorption was followed an anionic-type behavior. Among five metal oxides, AA showed the greatest removal capacity for both As(III) and As(V) through adsoption process but it has little oxidation capacity for As(III). Eventhough IS had much greater content of Fe-oxides than ILS, it showed a relatively lower removal capacity for both As(III) and As(V). This result suggests that adsorption of arsenic onto metal oxides is controlled by not only the contents of Fe-oxides but also mineral type of Fe-oxides. Column tests were performed at different combinations of metal oxides in a column reactor to find the best column system, which effectively treat both As(III) and As(V) at the same time. Among several combinations, the column reactors packed with MLS-AA and MLS-ILS showed a near complete oxidation of As(III) by MLS for a long time and the greatest adsorption of total arsenic compared to the column reactor packed with MLS-IS.     

Utilization of anion exchange resin Spectra/Gel for separation of arsenic from water

Arsenic in drinking water is one of the most challenging health hazards facing mankind today. Arsenic is a naturally occurring carcinogen and creates epidemiological problems through chronic ingestion from drinking water. Arsenic is present in water primarily as As(III) or As(V). Removal of both As(III) and As(V) from water by adsorption on strong base anion-chloride has been studied. Arsenic concentration was measured by Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma (ICP) analysis. The resin was regenerated and the adsorbed arsenic fractions were eluted by using 2 M NaCl. The effect of different parameters that influence adsorption process, such as relative arsenic and resin concentrations, retention time, and pH, were investigated. Results obtained revealed that As(III) was poorly adsorbed, whereas As(V) was successfully retained on the resin. The adsorption process was optimized by using 1 g resin for 16 ppm As(V) at pH 9 for 30 min. The removal efficiency of As(V) was 99.2%.
