Investigation of the role of surface chemistry and accessibility of cadmium adsorption sites on open-surface carbonaceous materials

Carbon nanotubes fabricated by the dc arc discharge method (ADCNTs) and chemical vapor deposition method (CVDCNTs) were oxidized with concentrated HNO 3 to modify their surface chemistry. The materials were characterized using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XPS, potentiometric titration, and nitrogen adsorption. The initial and oxidized materials were used as adsorbents of cadmium from aqueous solutions with different pH. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to fit the isotherm data, and both models fit the experimental data very well. The acid oxidation resulted in an increase in the number of oxygen-containing groups without drastic changes in the texture of the adsorbents. Although the small volume of micropores is present, the nanotube structure can be considered as nonporous. The lack of developed microporosity in carbonaceous materials eliminates the inner surface diffusion problems and makes the vast majority of surface groups available for adsorption of cadmium. The availability of these centers depends on the pH of the solution, which controls the protonation level. In spite of the fact that the pH of the solution affects the speciation of cadmium to some degree, the surface chemistry is the predominant force for adsorption at the pH range adopted in the present study, while the texture of materials also affects the nanotube's cadmium-adsorbing performance.     

BINARY COMPETITIVE AND COOPERATIVE ADSORPTION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS ON POLYMERIC RESINS

The adsorption behaviors of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid and aniline on a conventional macroporous resin Amberlite XAD4 and the other two newly-developed hypercrosslinked resins NDA101 and NDA100 were investigated in a single or binary batch system at 293 K and 313 K,respectively.All the adsorption isotherms of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid and aniline on the test resins in both systems can fit well with the Langmuir equation,indicating that the adsorption is a favorable process.At the identical equilibrium concentration,the amount of aniline adsorbed on polymeric resins in the single system is higher than that in the binary system because of the competitive adsorption between 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid and aniline on the resin surface.However,the uptake amount of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid in the binary system is markedly larger than that in the single system,which is presumably due to the cooperative effect arisen from the electrostatic interaction between 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid and aniline adsorbed on the resin surface.The simultaneous adsorption system was proven to be helpful for the selective adsorption toward 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid due to its larger selective index.     

丙烯酸酯树脂对泰乐菌素的吸附

通过调节单体、交联剂和致孔剂的种类及数量合成了一系列具有不同孔结构的丙烯酸酯树脂,并从中选出具有典型吸附差异的2种树脂,拥有适合的孔分布结构的三羟甲基丙烷三甲基丙烯酸甲酯(TRIM)聚合树脂(1#)和含酰胺基的三烯丙基异氰尿酸酯(TAIC)与TRIM共聚树脂(5#),与商业化大孔丙烯酸酯树脂XAD-7作比较,研究了丙烯酸酯树脂对泰乐菌素的吸附行为和机理。结果表明,树脂1#表现出了对泰乐菌素有最高的吸附量。3种吸附剂的吸附量随溶液pH值的升高呈增加趋势。吸附剂的吸附能力随溶液NaCl离子浓度的增强而提高,而对CuCl2则呈相反趋势,这是因为疏水作用和孔径排斥效应的贡献。泰乐菌素在3种吸附剂上的吸附动力学均符合准二级动力学模型,吸附等温线符合Langmuir模型。升高温度可以使树脂吸附能力增强,可能是“溶剂替代”效应所致。     

树脂对化工废水中有毒有机化合物的吸附作用机理与技术研究

超高交联吸附树脂对多种芳香有机化合物较高的吸附容量主要源于其密集的微孔和双峰孔分布.对大孔吸附树脂及超高交联吸附树脂采用不同极性功能基团进行化学修饰可以制得系列离子交换与吸附双重功能吸附树脂,该类树脂对亲水性有机污染物同时具有疏水、静电、络合等多重作用.丙烯酸酯类吸附树脂在吸附芳香磺酸盐时,树脂的骨架和功能基团对吸附过程都有重要的贡献.

RECOVERY OF p-AMINOPHENOL （PAP） FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY HYPER-CROSS-LINKED RESIN AND ITS USE FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT

p-Aminophenol （PAP）, a typical amphoteric compound, has been widely used as raw chemical material and important interrnediate in various fields. To study on the recovery of PAP, an experimental comparison of the adsorption and desorption properties of PAP onto three types of hyper-cross-linked resins in aqueous solutions was performed. This paper focuses on the static equilibrium adsorption and desorption behaviors, the adsorption thermodynamics, the column dynamic adsorption and desorption, and other influencing factors of adsorption, such as temperature and pH values. All the isothermal data fit well to the Freundlich model. The capacity of equilibrium adsorption for PAP on NG-10 is the highest within the temperature range 288K-318K, which may greatly contribute to the advantage in specific surface area, especially the micropore area, of the adsorbent. While in the desorption experiments, NG-9 achieved relative well regeneration efficiency whether by ethanol or by 4% hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, the results of column tests and field applications were also proved that NG-9 was an effective sorbent for the reclamation PAP from wastewater.     

Effects of ligand density and pore size on the adsorption of bovine IgG with DEAE ion-exchange resins

Immunoglobulin G is an important plasma protein with many applications in therapeutics and diagnostics, which can be purified effectively by ion exchange chromatography. The ligand densities and pore properties of ion-exchange resins have significant effects on the separation behaviors of protein, however, the understandings are quite limited. In this work, with bovine immunoglobulin as the model IgG, the adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics were investigated systematically with series of diethylaminoethyl ion-exchange resins with different ligand densities and pore sizes. The Langmuir equation and pore diffusion model were used to fit the experimental data. The influences of ligand density and pore size on the saturated adsorption capacity, the dissociation constant and the effective diffusivity were discussed. The adsorption capacities increased with the increase of ligand density and the decrease of pore size, and an integrative parameter was proposed to describe the combined effects of ligand density and pore size. It was also found that the effective pore diffusion coefficient of the adsorption kinetics was influenced by pore sizes of resins, but was relatively independent on the ligand densities of resins. For a given protein, the ligand density and pore size should be optimized for improving the protein adsorption.     

Effect of oxygen-containing functional groups on the impedance behavior of activated carbon-based electric double-layer capacitors

The surface chemistry of activated carbon was treated with sulfuric acid and hydrogen to analyze the oxygen-containing functional groups on the impedance behavior of electric double-layer capacitors. Based on the electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS), an equivalent circuit model was proposed considering the kinetic and charge transfer characteristics, and Marquardt fit procedure was applied to the EIS data. The simulated results indicate that the oxidation treatment made the ionic resistance within the pore of carbon electrode decrease, and the ion diffusion coefficients significantly increase, which leads to improvement of power capability of the carbon electrode.     

Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) on Oxygen-rich Porous Carbon Materials Obtained from Glucose/Potassium Oxalate

To investigate the effects of oxygen-containing functional groups on the adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with different polarity, oxygen-rich porous carbon materials (OPCs) were synthesized by heat treatment of glucose/potassium oxalate material. The carbon material had a large specific surface area (1697 m² g⁻¹) and a high oxygen content (18.95 at.%). OPC exhibited high adsorption capacity of toluene (309 mg g⁻¹) and methanol (447 mg g⁻¹). The specific surface area and total pore volume determined the adsorption capacity of toluene and methanol at the high-pressure range, while the oxygen-containing groups became the main factor affecting the methanol adsorption at the low-pressure range due to the hydrogen bond interaction through the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study provides an important hint for developing a novel O-doped adsorbent for the VOCs adsorption applications and analyzing the role of oxygen-containing groups in the VOCs adsorption under the low-pressure range.

PROPERTIES AND THERMODYNAMICS OF ADSORPTION OF BENZOIC ACID ONTO XAD-4 AND A WATER-COMPATIBLE HYPERCROSSLINKED ADSORBENT

The adsorption behavior of benzoic acid onto a water-compatible hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent NJ-8 wascompared with that onto macroporous Amberlite XAN-4. This paper focuses on the static equilibrium adsorption behaviors,the adsorption thermodynamics and the column dynamic adsorption profiles. Five isotherm models are used to fit the results.This shows that the Freundlich equation can give a perfect fit. The specific surface area of NJ-8 is about as high as that ofAmberlite XAD-4, but the adsorbing capacity for benzoic acid on NJ-8 is about 14.9%-64.8% higher than that on AmberliteXAD-4, which is attributed to its microporous mechanism and partial polarity. The negative values of the adsorptionenthalpy are indicative of an exothermic process. Both enthalpy and free energy changes of adsorption manifest a physicalsorption process. The negative values of the adsorption entropy indicate that adsorption is well consistent with the restrictedmobilities and the configurations of the adsorbed molecules on the surface of the studied adsorbents with superficialheterogeneity. Both adsorbents were used in mini-column experiments to demonstrate the higher breakthrough adsorbing capacity of the hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent NJ-8 to benzoic acid, as compared with that of Amberlite XAD-4.

A REVIEW OF OXYGEN-CONTAINING SURFACE GROUPS AND SURFACE MODIFICATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON

1. INTRODUCTION Activated carbons (ACs) have been widely used as adsorbents in environmental protection, e.g. removing organic or inorganic pollutants from liquid effluents and voltaic organic compounds (VOCs) from polluted air. It has been well known that the adsorptive capacity of ACs is not only determined by its textural properties (e.g. specific surface area, pore size distribution, pore volume), but also related to its surface chemistry. Many studies have demonstrated that the ad…     

Analysis of diffusion models for protein adsorption to porous anion-exchange adsorbent

The ion-exchange adsorption kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and gamma-globulin to an anion exchanger, DEAE Spherodex M, has been studied by batch adsorption experiments. Various diffusion models, that is, pore diffusion, surface diffusion, homogeneous diffusion and parallel diffusion models, are analyzed for their suitabilities to depict the adsorption kinetics. Protein diffusivities are estimated by matching the models with the experimental data. The dependence of the diffusivities on initial protein concentration is observed and discussed. The adsorption isotherm of BSA is nearly rectangular, so there is little surface diffusion. As a result, the surface and homogeneous diffusion models do not fit to the kinetic data of BSA adsorption. The adsorption isotherm of gamma-globulin is less favorable, and the surface diffusion contributes greatly to the mass transport. Consequently, both the surface and homogeneous diffusion models fit to the kinetic data of gamma-globulin well. The adsorption kinetics of BSA and gamma-globulin can be very well fitted by parallel diffusion model, because the model reflects correctly the intraparticle mass transfer mechanism. In addition, for both the favorably bound proteins, the pore diffusion model fits the adsorption kinetics reasonably well. The results here indicate that the pore diffusion model can be used as a good approximate to depict protein adsorption kinetics for protein adsorption systems from rectangular to linear isotherms.

采用连续电位滴定法研究了不同离子强度下Na基高庙子膨润土（Na-BNT）的表面酸、碱性质;用批式法研究了温度为22±2℃时,离子强度从0．001到0．5mol／L、Eu（Ⅲ）浓度从10曲到10^-4mol／L、pH从3到10．5的广泛实验条件下,Eu（Ⅲ）在Na．BNT上的吸附作用;通过考虑发生在层间位点（1ayersites）和边位点（edgesites）上的表面反应,对比了双层静电模型与非静电模型对宏观实验数据的描述,结果表明,双层静电模型可以描述Na基高庙子膨润土的表面酸碱性质,但对除I=0．1mol／L以外其他离子强度下Eu（Ⅲ）的吸附难以作出合理描述;非静电模型可以定量描述广泛实验条件下Eu（Ⅲ）在Na基高庙子膨润土上的吸附作用,但对pH〉8时Na基高庙子膨润土的表面酸碱性质的描述不够理想;研究结果为解释和预N＋3价镧系和锕系元素在高庙子膨润土上的吸附作用提供了模型参考．     

煤孔结构特性对水煤浆性质的影响分析

通过三种不同的方法(CO2吸附法、N2吸附法和压汞法)测试了不同变质程度煤的孔结构性质,分析了煤的孔结构特性与水煤浆性质之间的关系。结果表明,煤的孔结构特性对水煤浆性质的影响较为复杂,主要是煤的大孔结构对煤浆成浆性的影响。在相近的孔体积和孔径分布下,煤的成浆性差别较大。孔结构特性本身作为一个独立的因素不能完全体现出对水煤浆性质的影响程度,与煤的表面性质如含氧官能团性质、煤表面的疏水性以及煤的吸水性等密切相关,共同影响着水煤浆的性质。     

邻-氨基酚修饰吸附树脂对2-氨基吡啶的静态吸附热力学及动力学特征

Preparation and performance evaluation of resin-derived carbon spheres for desulfurization of fuels

A polystyrene-based ion-exchange resin was employed as the precursor for preparation of resin-derived carbon spheres(RCSs) through KOH activation with various impregnation ratios.Pore structure,yield and hardness,surface functional groups of the samples and their adsorption performance towards dibenzothiophene(DBT) were investigated.The RCSs with large surface areas(up to 2696m2/g) and total pore volumes(up to 1.46 cm3/g) exhibited larger adsorption capacities than a commercial activated carbon,F400.Polanyi-Dubinin-Mane(PDM) model was applied to fit the adsorption data,which proved that micropore filling was involved during the adsorption process.Moreover,a good linear relationship was observed between the extra-micropore volume and adsorption capacity.Intra-particle diffusion(IPD) model was used to describe the kinetic data of DBT onto the adsorbents.The adsorption processes were divided into three stages according to the different diffusion parameter.The selective adsorption towards DBT in the presence of competing compounds was also investigated and the high selectivity of the RSCs towards DBT may be attributed to the large quantity of acidic oxygen-containing groups.

STUDY ON SIDE REACTION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERS

The systematical study about side reactions have revealed the formation mechanism of oxygen-containing groups of hypercrosslinked polymers. Surface chemistry and functionality of the polymers are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） and contact angle. The results showed that the ether groups were from chloromethylated reaction, and the alcohol groups arose from partial hydrolysis of chloromethyl groups during the post-crosslinking reaction, and the carbonyl functionality was formed by further oxidation of the alcohol groups. Catalyst and solvent used in the postcrosslinking reaction would greatly influence the surface chemistry of the polymer.
