Biosorption of copper (II) and cadmium (II) by live Phanerochaete chrysosporium immobilized by growing onto polyurethane foam material in individual packed bed columns over two successive cycles of sorption–desorption
were investigated in this study. Initial pH and concentrations of the metals in their respective solutions were set optimum
to each of those: 4.6 and 35 mg·l−1 in case of copper and 5.3 and 11 mg·l−1 for cadmium. The breakthrough curves obtained for the two metals during sorption in both the cycles exhibited a constant
pattern at various bed depths in the columns. The maximum yield of the columns in removing these metals were found to be,
respectively, 57% and 43% for copper and cadmium indicating that copper biosorption by the immobilized fungus in its column
was better than for cadmium. Recovery values of the sorbed copper and cadmium metals from the respective loaded columns by
using 0.1 N HCl as eluant was observed to be quite high at more than 65% and 75%, respectively, at the end of desorption in
both the cycles. Breakthrough models of bed-depth service time, Adams–Bohart, Wolborska, and Clark were fitted to the experimental
data on sorption of copper and cadmium in the columns, and only the Clark model could fit the sorption performance of the
columns well over the entire range of ratios of concentrations of effluent to influent, i.e., C/C0 for both copper and cadmium biosorption. The kinetic coefficients of mass transfer and other suitable parameters in the system
were determined by applying the experimental data at C/C0 ratios lower than 0.5 to the other three models. 相似文献
The desorption of Br adatoms from Br-saturated Si(1 0 0)-(2 × 1) was studied with scanning tunneling microscopy as a function of dopant type, dopant concentration, and temperature for 620-775 K. Analysis yields the activation energies and prefactors for desorption, and the former correspond to the energy separation between the Fermi level and Si-Br antibonding states. Thus, electron capture in long-lived states results in Br expulsion via a Franck-Condon transition. Analysis of the prefactors reveals that optical phonons provide the energy needed for the electronic excitation. These results show that desorption induced by an electronic transition can occur in closed system without external stimulus, and they indicate that thermally-excited charge carriers may play a general role in surface reactions. 相似文献
Using pulsed atomic beam technique and a surface ionization ion microscope, the desorption kinetics and the surface diffusion of the alkalis potassium, rubidium and cesium were investigated on a Si(111)7 × 7-surface at extremely low alkali coverages. In the temperature range 1120 … 800 K, the mean adsorption lifetime τ(T) = τ0 · exp(Edesi/kT) and the mean diffusion length x(T) - defined in the equilibrium between adsorption, diffusion and desorption - were measured. From these data the diffusion constant D(T) = D0 · exp(-Ediff/kT) was obtained as D = x?2/τ. For temperatures T ? 750 K, the diffusion constant was calculated from nonstationary alkali concentration profiles using the Boltzmann-Matano method. From the temperature dependence of these quantities the parameters of desorption (Edes,i τ0) and surface diffusion (Ediff, D0) for K, Rb and Cs on Si(111) were obtained. The values of Ediff and D0 are comparably high and may be interpreted by non-localized diffusion according to a model proposed by Bonzel (Surf. Sci. 21 (1970) 45). 相似文献
Surfactants appear in multiphase fluid systems in which the interface and the adjacent bulk phase have been removed from equilibrium. Here, a new method is described for the measurement of rate constants of desorption of surface-active materials from fluid/fluid interfaces and the extent to which adsorption is reversible: the coaxial capillary pendant drop experimental technique.
Kinetic constants are determined by desorption experiments in pendant drops in which the interface adjacent to a surfactant solution is removed from equilibrium by replacing the subphase of the drop with pure water. Further, we demonstrate that although the rate of subphase exchange is comparatively slow with respect to the desorption timescale, it is possible to resolve desorption processes which occur under local equilibrium with the adjacent bulk phase from those that are determined in part by sorption kinetics. Experiments which measure the desorption kinetic coefficient, , using a homologous series of n-alkyl (C8, C10, C12, C14) dimethyl phosphine oxides are presented. 相似文献
In this work we are concerned with the study of long-term relaxation phenomena in dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) monolayers spread at the air–water interface as a function of the surface pressure and the aqueous phase pH (pH 5, 7, and 9). Long-term relaxation phenomena were determined in an automated Langmuir-type film balance at constant temperature (20 °C). Two kinds of experiments were performed to analyze relaxation mechanisms. In one, the surface pressure (π) was kept constant, and the area (A) was measured as a function of time (θ). In the second, the area was kept constant at monolayer collapse and the surface pressure was decreased. This decrease was measured as a function of time. Various relaxation mechanisms, including monolayer molecular loss by dissolution, collapse, and/or organization/reorganization changes, can be fitted to the results derived from these experiments. These relaxation mechanisms are pH and phospholipid dependent. In the discussion, special attention will be given to the effect of the relaxation phenomena on the hysteresis in π–A isotherms before and after the relaxation experiment. At π lower than the equilibrium spreading pressure (πe) the relaxation phenomena are mainly due to the loss of DPPC or DOPC molecules by desorption into the bulk aqueous phase. The formation of interfacial macroscopic vesicles, which are dissolved into the bulk phase, makes the phospholipid monolayer molecular loss irreversible. At the collapse point (at π > πe), the relaxation phenomena may be due either to collapse for DPPC and/or to a complex mechanism including competition between desorption and monolayer collapse for DOPC. 相似文献
We investigated desorption of chlorine atoms on Si (1 1 1)-(7 × 7) surfaces induced by hole injection from scanning tunneling microscope tips. The hole-induced desorption of chlorine atoms had a threshold bias voltage corresponding to the energy position of the S3 surface band originated in Si backbonds. The chlorine atom desorption rate was almost proportional to the square of the tunneling current. We have discussed possible mechanisms that two holes injected into Si surface states get localized at the backbonds of chlorinated Si adatoms, which induces the rupture of Cl-Si bonds to result in chlorine atom desorption. 相似文献
Hybrid of humic acid (HA) and chitin has been synthesized and the hybrid material (chitin-HA) was then applied as sorbent to adsorb Ni(II). The HA was extracted from peat soil of Gambut District, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, according to the procedure recommended by IHSS (International Humic Substances Society). The chitin was isolated from crab shell waste of sea food restaurants through deproteination using NaOH 3.5% (w/v) and followed by removal of inorganic impurities using HCl 1 M. The synthesis of chitin-HA was performed by reacting gelatinous chitin solution in HCl 0.5 M and HA solution in NaOH 0.5 M. Parameters investigated in this work consists of effect of medium acidity on the sorption, sorption rate (ks) and desorption rate (kd) constants, Langmuir (monolayer) and Freundlich (multilayer) sorption capacities, and energy (E) of sorption. The ks and kd were determined according to a kinetic model of first order sorption reaching equilibrium, monolayer sorption capacity (b) and energy (E) were determined according to the Langmuir isotherm model, and multilayer sorption capacity (B) was determined based on the Freundlich isotherm model.Sorption of Ni(II) on both chitin and chitin-HA was maximum at pH 8.0. The kinetic expression resulted from the proposed kinetic model has been shown to be more applicable than the commonly known Lagergren equation obtained from the pseudo-first order sorption model. The application of the proposed model revealed that the presence of HA increased the ks from 0.018 min−1 for chitin to 0.031 min−1 for chitin-HA. As for ks, the value of b was also bigger in the presence of HA, i.e. 7.42 × 10−5 mol/g for chitin and 9.93 × 10−5 mol/g for the chitin-HA. Unlike ks and b, the value of E slightly decreased from 23.23 to 21.51 kJ/mol for the absence and presence of HA, respectively. It can also be deduced that the presence of HA on chitin contributed more to the additional layer of Ni(II) sorbed on sorbent. Without HA, B for chitin was only 6.17 times higher than b, while with the presence of HA, the enhancement of the sorption capacity from the multilayer (B) to the monolayer (b) was 19.40. The increase of ks, b, B, and the decrease of E would be very benefit in the real application of chitin-HA for the recovery of Ni(II) from aqueous samples. 相似文献
We utilized temperature programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (ELS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) to investigate the oxidation of Pt(1 0 0)-hex-R0.7° at 450 K. Using an oxygen atom beam, we generated atomic oxygen coverages as high as 3.6 ML (monolayers) on Pt(1 0 0) in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), almost 6 times the maximum coverage obtainable by dissociatively adsorbing O2. The results show that oxidation occurs through the development of several chemisorbed phases prior to oxide growth above about 1 ML. A weakly bound oxygen state that populates as the coverage increases from approximately 0.50 ML to 1 ML appears to serve as a necessary precursor to Pt oxide growth. We find that increasing the coverage above about 1 ML causes Pt oxide particle growth and significant surface disordering. Decomposition of the Pt oxide particles produces explosive O2 desorption characterized by a shift of the primary TPD feature to higher temperatures and a dramatic increase in the maximum desorption rate with increasing coverage. Based on thermodynamic considerations, we show that the thermal stability of the surface Pt oxide on Pt single crystal surfaces significantly exceeds that of bulk PtO2. Furthermore, we attribute the high stability and the acceleratory decomposition rates of the surface oxide to large kinetic barriers that must be overcome during oxide formation and decomposition. Lastly, we present evidence that structurally similar oxides develop on both Pt(1 1 1) and Pt(1 0 0), therefore concluding that the properties of the surface Pt oxide are largely insensitive to the initial structure of the Pt single crystal surface. 相似文献
