Study of thermodynamic characteristics of CO adsorption on Li exchanged zeolites

The experimental thermodynamic characteristics of CO probe molecule adsorption on lithium exchanged zeolites of MFI, FAU, MCM-58, MCM-22, MCM-36 and MCM-49 structure was investigated by joint volumetry-calorimetry method. Consideration was given to the interpretation of the heat evolved when a probe molecule was adsorbed on the surface. In particular, the number and strength of adsorption sites were discussed as functions of zeolite structure and concentration of extra-framework cation. In addition, the obtained thermodynamic data and energy distribution functions were discussed together with results obtained from FTIR spectroscopy and theoretical DFT calculations.

Adsorption of carbon dioxide by X zeolites exchanged with Ni2+ and Cr3+: isotherms and isosteric heat

The adsorption of CO2, at intervals of 30 K from 303 K was carried out on M(n+)X zeolites (M(n+)=Ni2+ or Cr3+) exchanged at different degrees. The structural regularity of the zeolite lattice of NaX and the existence of well-defined cavities within which the adsorbate molecules are lodged suggest that it should be possible to use various isotherm equations. Several models were thus used to describe the experimental isotherms. The best fit of adsorption isotherm data is obtained with the Sips model. The Volmer model also describes satisfactorily the isotherms of CO2 adsorption by NaX, Ni(x)X, and Cr(x)X. Analysis of the isosteric heat reveals a character energetically heterogeneous for NaX and Ni(x)X samples exchanged at a higher degree of Ni2+ exchange and at low coverage. Specific interaction is also obtained between the adsorbate molecules and Cr(x)X exchanged at a lower degree. From these considerations, hypotheses will be advanced to describe the behavior of the adsorbed phase within zeolitic cavities.

Study of the adsorption capacity to Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ ions of an active carbon/functionalized polyamine hybrid material

The retention of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ metal ions from aqueous solution, on a functionalized hybrid material obtained by the anchorage of N-(4-amino-1,6-dihydro-1-methyl-5-nitroso-6-oxopyrimidin-2-yl)-N′-[bis(2-aminoethyl)] ethylenediamine ligand on a low-functionalized activated carbon, at pH 4.5 has been studied. The adsorption isotherms fit the Langmuir equation and the calculated maximum adsorption capacities were compared to those obtained by using the un-functionalized activated carbon as well as to other analogous hybrid materials as adsorbent of the same metal ions. These studies were carried out by rationalizing the resulting adsorption data regarding the stability constant values of the complexes formed by the three metal ions with the free tri-amine function of the ligand. The results demonstrate that the adsorption capacities of the activated carbon–ligand hybrid material towards the three metal-ions studied correlated with the stabilities of the tri-amine-metal-ion bonds formed during the adsorption processes.     

The electronic structure of Cu+, Ag+, and Au+ zeolites

A variety of procedures have been used to prepare d10-zeolite materials. The electronic structure of these materials can be regarded to a first approximation as a superposition of the framework, of the charge compensating ions, of solvent molecules and of guest species. Zeolite oxygen to d10-ion charge transfer transitions dominate the electronic spectra if the ions coordinate to the zeolite oxygens. Specific coordination sites can influence the energy and the intensity of these transitions remarkably. Intra guest transitions dominate in quantum dot materials, as discussed in detail for luminescent Ag2S zeolite A. The zeolite is not needed for the photocatalytic water oxidation on Ag+/AgCl photo anodes with visible light. It can, however, be used to increase the active surface area substantially.     

Structural studies of Na-montmorillonite exchanged with Fe2+, Cr3+, and Ti4+ by N2 adsorption and EXAFS

The structures of Fe(2+)-, Cr(3+)-, and Ti(4+)-modified montmorillonite prepared from ion exchange of the Na-clay with Fe(2+), Cr(3+), and Ti(4+) were investigated. Conventional BET surface area and spectroscopic analysis by extended adsorption fine structure (EXAFS) were applied. It was shown that the BET surface area of Na-clay was similar to that of Fe-clay, but somewhat different from those of Cr- and Ti-clay; it decreased in the order Na- > Fe- > Ti- > Cr-montmorillonite. This sequence appeared to be consistent with the ion size Na(+) (0.95 nm)>Fe(2+) (0.65 nm)>Cr(3+) (0.62 nm), except for Ti(4+) (0.69 nm). EXAFS data showed that some Si atoms within montmorillonite were replaced by Ti atoms and that a neostructure of titanium oxide was formed.     

Qualitative analysis of Cu2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ cations using thin-layer chromatography

The M(DEDTC)2 (M = Cu, Co, or Ni) and M(PyDTC)2 (M = Cu or Co) complexes prepared by reactions of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and ammonium pyrollidinedithiocarbamate with metal (II) nitrates are examined for qualitative analysis and separation using thin-layer chromatography systems. These complexes and their mixtures are spotted to the activated thin layers of silica gel 60GF254 (Si-60GF254) with a 250-microm thickness. Pure toluene and a toluene-cyclohexane mixture (3:1, v/v) are used as mobile phases for running of the complexes. These chromatographic systems are successfully used for qualitative analysis of corresponding metal cations and separation of components in both M(DEDTC)2 and M(PyDTC)2 complex mixtures.     

Competitive adsorption of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ ions on microporous titanosilicate ETS-10

In the present study, the competitive adsorption characteristics of binary and ternary heavy metal ions Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ on microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 were investigated in batch systems. Pure microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 was synthesized with P25 as the Ti source and characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscope (FESEM), nitrogen adsorption, and zeta-potential. Equilibrium and kinetic adsorption data showed that ETS-10 displays a high selectivity toward one metal in a two-component or a three-component system with an affinity order of Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Cu2+. The equilibrium behaviors of heavy metals species with stronger affinity toward ETS-10 can be described by the Langmuir equation while the adsorption kinetics of the metals can be well fitted to a pseudo-second-order (PSO) model.

Novel complexes of Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ with N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinic acid

Complexes of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cu²⁺ with N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinic acid (H₄PMAS) of general formula Na₂MPMAS·nH₂O [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), n—number of water molecules] were synthesized. Based on interpretation of diffusion reflectance spectroscopy, structure of all complexes is based on distorted octahedral. Analysis of IR spectra of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) N-(phosphonomethyl)aminosuccinates demonstrated that metal ions are coordinated to the ligand through nitrogen atom of the imino group, oxygen atoms of the α- and β-carboxyl groups as well as oxygen atom of the phosphonic group of the H₄PMAS. We demonstrated that thermal stability of complexes increases in sequence Cu(II) < Ni(II) < Co(II), obviously as a result of change over from the dimeric to polymeric character of the initial complex. Complete decomposition of ligand occurs at these temperatures and is accompanied by release of H₂O, CO₂, and NO₂. The final products of thermal decomposition of the complexes are mixtures of oxides and phosphates of respective metals.     

Study of the selection mechanism of heavy metal (Pb2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Cd2+) adsorption on clinoptilolite

The study was carried out on the sorption of heavy metals (Ni2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+) under static conditions from single- and multicomponent aqueous solutions by raw and pretreated clinoptilolite. The sorption has an ion-exchange nature and consists of three stages, i.e., the adsorption on the surface of microcrystals, the inversion stage, and the moderate adsorption in the interior of the microcrystal. The finer clinoptilolite fractions sorb higher amounts of the metals due to relative enriching by the zeolite proper and higher cleavage. The slight difference between adsorption capacity of the clinoptilolite toward lead, copper, and cadmium from single- and multicomponent solutions may testify to individual sorption centers of the zeolite for each metal. The decrease of nickel adsorption from multicomponent solutions is probably caused by the propinquity of its sorption forms to the other metals and by competition. The maximum sorption capacity toward Cd2+ is determined as 4.22 mg/g at an initial concentration of 80 mg/L and toward Pb2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ as 27.7, 25.76, and 13.03 mg/g at 800 mg/L. The sorption results fit well to the Langmuir and the Freundlich models. The second one is better for adsorption modeling at high metal concentrations.     

Desulfurization of diesel fuels by adsorption via pi-complexation with vapor-phase exchanged Cu(I)-Y zeolites

Desulfurization of a commercial diesel fuel by vapor-phase ion exchange (VPIE) copper(I) faujasite zeolites was studied in a fixed-bed adsorber operated at ambient temperature and pressure. The zeolite adsorbed approximately five thiophenic molecules per unit cell. After treating 18 cm3 of fuel, the cumulative average sulfur concentration detected was 0.032 ppmw-S. GC-FPD results showed that the pi-complexation sorbents selectively adsorbed highly substituted thiophenes, benzothiophenes, and dibenzothiophenes from diesel, which is not possible by using conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reactors. The high sulfur selectivity and high sulfur capacity of the VPIE Cu(II)-zeolites were due to pi-complexation.     

Heavy metal (Cd2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Ni2+) adsorption in aqueous solutions by oxidized starches

Superabsorbent materials based on natural products have been synthesized by free radical oxidation of corn starch using a redox system consisting of potassium permanganate and sodium bisulfite. The resulting oxidized starches were characterized by analyzing the variation of carbonyl and carboxyl contents. The swelling ability of these samples has been determined by gravimetric method in water and in saline solutions. The effect of oxidant concentration and bleaching procedure on the water absorption capacity has been studied. The ability to remove heavy metals in water solution has been tested against Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions, showing higher percentage of remotion for the unbleached oxidized starches, in particular against nickel ions.

Synthesis and study of properties of the polyhexamethyleneguanidine complexes with the ions Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+

The reaction products of polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride with the Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions, which are the polyligand coordination compounds formed by polyguanidine and hydroxyl ligands, were studied using IR, UV, and ESR spectroscopy. The influence of the nature of the chelating agent on the structure of the complexes formed was revealed. Antibacterial properties of the synthesized complexes were assessed.     

Hydration of acetylene on Cd2+ exchanged zeolites

The reaction takes place on Cd-containing Lewis sites, whereas the irreversible adsorption and condensation of product acetaldehyde on acidic OH groups of Cd-X, FAU catalyst results in deactivation. Preadsorbed ammonia moderates the deactivation, because it reacts with acetylene, and pyridine homologues are formed which block the accessible OH groups. Since in divalent cationic forms of clinoptilolite no OH groups are generated, Cd-clinoptilolite proved to be a catalyst of permanent activity.

Theoretical studies on the interaction of anionic collectors with Cu+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions

 The influence of collector structure on interaction with metal cations was modelled by computational ab initio methods. The interaction energies were calculated between metal ions (Cu⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺) and selected collector anions: ethyl xanthate, ethyl trithiocarbonate, dithiobutyric acid, ethyl dithiocarbamate, diethyl dithiocarbamate, diethylphosphinecarbodithioic acid and diethoxyphosphinecar bodithioic acid. The strongest interaction was found with diethyl dithiocarbamate. The results give qualitative information on the effect of the collector structure on the initial adsorption steps on sulphide mineral flotation.

Thin-layer chromatography of aluminium: quantitative densitometric determination of Fe2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Si4+

Thin-layer chromatography in combination with scanning densitometry is used as a tool for the quantitative determination of some impurity and additive elements in aluminium. Microgram levels of iron, silicon, copper, nickel, titanium, magnesium, manganese, and zinc present in a high concentration aluminium matrix is detected, and selective separations of some of these elements are achieved on silica gel H layers developed with a mobile phase containing aqueous sodium chloride solution. The quantitative determination of iron, silicon, nickel, and copper are obtained from the densitometric evaluation of chromatograms and are compared with the respective optical emission spectral analytical data.     

Effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water coordination on the structure of glycine and zwitterionic glycine

Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the gas phase. Here, the effect of metal ions and water on the structure of glycine is examined. The effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and water on structures of Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (m = 0, 2, 5) complexes have been determined theoretically by employing the hybrid B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and using extended basis sets. Selected calculations were carried out also by means of CBS-QB3 model chemistry. The interaction enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs energies of eight complexes Gly.Mn+ (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) were determined at the B3LYP density functional level of theory. The computed Gibbs energies DeltaG degrees are negative and span a rather broad energy interval (from -90 to -1100 kJ mol(-1)), meaning that the ions studied form strong complexes. The largest interaction Gibbs energy (-1076 kJ mol(-1)) was computed for the NiGly2+ complex. Calculations of the molecular structure and relative stability of the Gly.Mn+(H2O)m and GlyZwitt.Mn+(H2O)m (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+; m = 0, 2, and 5) systems indicate that in the complexes with monovalent metal cations the most stable species are the NO coordinated metal cations in non-zwitterionic glycine. Divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ prefer coordination via the OO bifurcated bonds of the zwitterionic glycine. Stepwise addition of two and five water molecules leads to considerable changes in the relative stability of the hydrated species. Addition of two water molecules at the metal ion in both Gly.Mn+ and GlyZwitt.Mn+ complexes reduces the relative stability of metallic complexes of glycine. For Mn+ = Li+ or Na+, the addition of five water molecules does not change the relative order of stability. In the Gly.K+ complex, the solvation shell of water molecules around K+ ion has, because of the larger size of the potassium cation, a different structure with a reduced number of hydrogen-bonded contacts. This results in a net preference (by 10.3 kJ mol(-1)) of the GlyZwitt.K+H2O5 system. Addition of five water molecules to the glycine complexes containing divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ results in a net preference for non-zwitterionic glycine species. The computed relative Gibbs energies are quite high (-10 to -38 kJ mol(-1)), and the NO coordination is preferred in the Gly.Mn+(H2O)5 (Mn+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) complexes over the OO coordination.
