A New Organophosphorus Insecticides Removal Process Using Fly ASH

Abstract

Fly ash and soil mixtures with a range of fly ash content from 1 to 100% were used to study adsorption and desorption of four organophosphorus insecticides, ethyl parathion, methyl parathion, fenitrothion and fenthion, in batch experiments. The object of the study was to develop a treatment process using fly ash as sorbent material to isolate/immobilize organic contaminants from aqueous solutions. The adsorption isotherms fit the Freundlich equation x/m=K_dC^1/n. The K_d values increase with the increase of the fly ash content. The isotherms seem to fit the S type, in mixtures of soil with a fly ash content from 0 to 10%, which implies that adsorption becomes easier as the concentration in the liquid phase increases. In mixtures of soil with a fly ash content from 25 to 50% the isotherms become L type and correspond to a decrease of site availability as the solution concentration increases. Finally in mixtures of soil with a fly ash content over 50%, C type adsorption was observed which correspond to a constant partition of the insecticides between the bulk solution and the adsorbent. Mass balance estimations show that the mean percent amounts of insecticides for a range of concentration 0.5–15 mg/l, removed by adsorption in the soil sample are 81.56 % for ethyl parathion, 48.97 % for methyl parathion, 67.06 % for fenitrothion and 86.65 % for fenthion. The adsorption increases as the fly ash content increased and reach the 100% in the “pure” fly ash. The adsorbed amounts of insecticides in mixtures of soils with >50% fly ash content, are up to 99%. In contrast, the amounts of desorption in water decrease as the fly ash content increase.

The results of this research demonstrate that the fly ash shows a significant capacity for adsorption of organophosphorus compounds from aqueous solution and can be used for pesticide removal process.     

高碱煤含钠矿物沉积层的高温熔融及多相反应过程分析

采用纯矿物试剂模拟燃用高碱煤时炉内受热面典型的灰沉积层化学组成,利用热机械分析（TMA）、TG-DSC分析、高温煅烧实验结合XRD、SEM-EDS表征方法研究了不同Na₂SO₄含量灰沉积层的高温熔融过程及矿物间的多相反应机理。结果表明,掺混Na₂SO₄后沉积层熔化特征温度显著降低,Na₂SO₄的主要反应途径与掺混比例有关,当掺混比低于20%时,Na₂SO₄与SiO₂、CaO、Al₂O₃反应主要转变为CaSO₄和钠的硅铝酸盐;掺混比大于40%时则主要与CaSO₄生成低熔点的钠钙复合硫酸盐。富Na₂SO₄沉积层颗粒在800℃时开始黏结;900-950℃时,霞石、钠长石等钠的硅铝酸盐发生低温共熔,同时Na₂SO₄和CaSO₄生成的复合硫酸盐开始熔融,逐渐形成液相;1200-1250℃时,镁黄长石与含钙矿物发生强烈共熔,温度超过1300℃后矿物完全熔融成为自由液相。     

蛭石对高钠高钙准东煤结渣特性影响研究

采用一维沉降炉,辅以灰熔点仪的实验方法,将蛭石与高钠高钙准东煤掺混燃烧,研究其对高钠高钙准东煤结渣特性的影响。结果表明,随着蛭石掺烧量的提高,灰熔点温度呈现先降低后升高的趋势,当掺烧量为6%时灰熔点温度最低;蛭石掺烧量越高,高钠高钙准东煤结渣情况改善越明显,当掺烧量达到4%时,渣样变得疏松多孔,质地变脆,渣样与沉积探针之间的黏附性较弱,极易通过吹灰除去,建议蛭石掺烧量为4%;煤灰中原始矿物质以石英、钙铝黄长石或钙黄长石以及辉石类的低熔点矿物质为主,掺烧蛭石后,含钠的绿辉石矿物质被转化为韭闪石,含铁的斜辉石、赤铁矿等矿物质被转化为铁橄榄石,渣样中的矿物质均以高熔点的镁橄榄石为主;蛭石具有固钠的作用,取样温度越低,蛭石掺混量越高,其固钠效果越明显。     

Chemical Speciation of Amphoteric Ions on Semi‐Dry Scrubber Residue and Bag‐House Ash from MSWI

Two series of size‐fractionated combusted residues, a bag‐house ash and a scrubber residue, from a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) were prepared and extracted by means of sequential chemical extraction (SCE) procedures proposed by Tessier. Concentrations of water‐soluble phase, exchangeable phase, carbonated phase, Fe/Mn oxide phase, organic matter phase, and residual phase bound amphoteric metals (Pb and Zn) were obtained, and have been compared with those of single batch extraction of toxic characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). In each size fraction of baghouse ash or scrubber residue, lead or zinc shows a common phenomena that the TCLP value is always lower than the content of the water‐soluble fraction. For lead, baghouse ash has a significant size‐dependent distribution on the water‐soluble phase to perform a size‐dependent test of lead in the TCLP test. The zinc TCLP data having less size dependence might be due to that neither the baghouse ash nor the scrubber residue has a size‐dependent distribution on the water‐soluble zinc phase.     

磷对泥/煤混燃灰熔融特性的影响及矿物相演变规律

采用灰熔点仪、X射线荧光仪(XRF)研究了无机非金属P2O5对城市污水污泥与烟煤的混烧灰熔融特性的影响,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)研究在各混烧温度下灰中含磷矿物在晶体和非晶体间的演变。结果表明,对于Al_2O_3含量较多且熔点较高的灰样,磷含量的增加可显著降低其灰熔点,P2O5含量在0-4%时影响最大,使其灰熔点降低126℃;但对碱性含量高的灰样的影响较小。低温灰中主要以磷酸铝(AlPO_4)晶体为主,温度升高后,与硬石膏(CaSO_4)等含钙矿物和赤铁矿(Fe_2O_3)反应生成晶体Ca_3(PO_4)_2和玻璃相(Fe_2O_3)_(0.252)(P_2O_5)_(0.748),磷含量增加可使灰中玻璃相(Fe_2O_3)_(0.252)(P_2O_5)_(0.748)增加,是磷降低灰熔点的主要原因。     

Electroless plating of copper on fly ash cenospheres using polyaniline‐Pd activation

The polyaniline of different intrinsic oxidation states, viz., the emeraldine (EM) and the leucoemeraldine (LM) states, were coated on 3‐aminopropyltriethoxy silane modified fly ash cenospheres. Without prior sensitization by SnCl₂ solution, Pd activation by PdCl₂ solution was carried out on EM and LM laden cenospheres, followed by electroless plating of copper (Cu). The topography and composition of the composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. The results indicate that the oxidation state of the LM layer showed a much bigger increase than that of the EM layer in the Pd activation process, while coupled Pd reduction underwent to a more extent on the LM layer. The metallic Pd atoms on the LM and EM layers surface initiated the subsequent electroless plating of Cu, and the coated Cu on LM laden cenospheres had a much more uniform and compact morphology than that on EM laden cenospheres.

Fly‐Ash‐Supported Synthesis of 2‐Mercaptobenzothiazole Derivatives under Microwave Irradiation

Microwave‐assisted, solvent‐free alkylation and acylation of 2‐mercaptobenzothiazole has been attempted using silica gel, alumina, and a new solid support, fly ash. Fly ash, a waste generated at thermal power stations, could be used as solid support just as efficiently as commercial supports. The additional features of methodology include a much faster reaction, easy workup, higher yields, higher purity of the products, and an ecofriendly approach.     

Evaluation of a mixed chelator as heavy metal stabilizer for municipal solid‐waste incineration fly ash: Behaviors and mechanisms

This paper compares the stabilization performances of three dithiocarbamate and three phosphate chemical stabilizing agents, selects the best agents from each group, combines them as a mixed heavy metal stabilizer for municipal solid‐waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash, and investigates the effectiveness of the mixed chelator in stabilizing heavy metals in MSWI fly ash from southwest China. The mechanism of stabilization is also analyzed. Results indicate that piperazine dithiocarbamate can stabilize Cd, Cu, and Ni effectively, while sodium dihydrogen phosphate can stabilize Pb better. With the addition of the mixed chelator (2% sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 1% piperazine dithiocarbamate), all the targeted heavy metal concentrations in the leachate were below the standards for pollution control on municipal solid waste landfill sites in China. The stabilizing agents combined with the heavy metals in fly ash could not generate insoluble crystals; however, the heavy metals could combine with the agents' effective groups, generating flocs in the pores or on the surfaces of the fly ash and offering significant densification. The mixed chelator could transfer heavy metals from unstable fractions to stable fractions, so the leaching of heavy metals from the fly ash was greatly decreased.     

Nano Silicon from Nano Silica Using Natural Resource (Rha) for Solar Cell Fabrication

Abstract

High purity (～99%) nano silica with an average particle size of ～100 nm was extracted at pH 3 at 650°C from a natural resource, rice husk, using alkaline extraction followed by acid precipitation method. Using nano silica as a precursor, silicon (Si) nanoparticles have been synthesized by high-temperature magnesiothermic reduction method. The prepared sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction, particle size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence analyzer, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The comprehensive characterization studies indicate the pure phase formation of Si and the variation of particle size from 70 nm to 100 nm for samples synthesized at different sintering temperatures. Moreover, the silicon nanoparticles produced at 850°C have pure phase formation, high purity, and good absorption peaks. The efficiency calculated through IV characteristics is found to be increasing in silicon and ruthenium combination (2.67%), which is better than that achieved from the conventional solar cells. The produced silicon nanoparticles could be applied as an anode material for solar cell fabrication.
