Maghemite incorporated hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanocomposite was prepared by in situ precipitation of the calcium phosphate phase in an iron oxide colloidal suspension. The resultant nanocomposite was characterized by x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, N2 adsorption analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The potential of HAP/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite for HA adsorption from aqueous solution was evaluated by batch experiments and adsorption kinetic tests. HA adsorption amount on the adsorbent decreased with increasing solution pH and the presence of KNO3 and alkali-earth metal ions resulted in enhanced HA adsorption. HA adsorption onto HAP/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite could be well described by Freundlich and Sips models, while HA adsorption process on the adsorbent obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the adsorption rates decreased with increasing initial HA concentration. This study showed that the HAP/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite could be used as an efficient and magnetically separable adsorbent for the removal of HA from aqueous solution. Subsequent studies demonstrated that the HA-loaded HAP/γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite could be further applied for the highly efficient adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and separated from the medium by a simple magnetic process. 相似文献
A novel spherical cellulose adsorbent with amide and sulphinate groups was used for a first reduction of trichloroacetic acid(TCAA) and a subsequent adsorption of generated species, haloacetic acids. The removal mechanism involved TCAA reduction by sulphinate groups and the adsorption of the haloacetic acids through electrostatic interaction with amide group. Investigation of product formation and subsequent disappearance reveals that the reduction reactions proceed via sequential hydrogenolysis, and transform to acetate ultimately. Adsorption of haloacetic acids was ascertained by low chloride mass balances(89.3%) and carbon mass balances(75.1%) in solution. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for TCAA degradation was (0.93±0.12) h-1. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pH value on the reduction and adsorption process. The results show that the reduction of TCAA by sulphinate groups requires higher pH values while the electrostatic attraction of haloacetic acids by amino group is favorable in more acidic media. 相似文献
Summary: A novel, magnetic, strong acid cation nano‐adsorbent has been developed by the covalent binding of poly(acrylic acid) on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles followed by sulfonation using sulfanilic acid via carbodiimide activation. The nano‐absorbent can be easily recovered or manipulated with an external magnetic field and shows a good capacity for the rapid and efficient adsorption of multivalent metal cations from aqueous solutions.
