Shen Y, Chen N, Feng Z, Feng C, Deng Y. Treatment of nitrate containing wastewater by adsorption process using polypyrrole-modified plastic-carbon: Characteristic and mechanism. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 297:134107. [PMID: 35271890 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Polypyrrole-modified plastic-carbon (PET-PPy) composite was prepared by using high porosity plastic-carbon materials and a special doping mechanism of polypyrrole to remove nitrate from water to achieve waste recycling. As a result, PET-PPy-500 showed remarkable nitrate adsorption in both acidic and alkaline wastewater. The pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models were fit for the nitrate adsorption by PET-PPy-500, and the maximum adsorption capacity predicted by the Langmuir model was 10.04 mg NO3-N/g (45.18 mg NO3-/g) at 30 °C. The ion exchange and electrostatic attraction were the main mechanisms of removing NO3- by PET-PPy-500, which was demonstrated by the interface characterization and theoretical calculation. The doped ions (Cl-) and/or other anions produced by charge transfer interaction were the main exchange ions in the process of NO3- adsorption. The main binding sites in the electrostatic adsorption process were nitrogen-containing functional groups, which can be confirmed by the results of XPS and density functional theory (DFT). Furthermore, DFT results also showed that the adsorption of nitrate by PET-PPy was a spontaneous exothermic process, and the adsorption energy at the nitrogen site was the lowest. The findings of this study provide a feasible strategy for the advanced treatment of nitrate containing wastewater.

Design and Preparation of Imidazole Ionic Liquid-Based Magnetic Polymers and Its Adsorption on Sunset Yellow Dye. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15072628. [PMID: 35407960 PMCID: PMC9000268 DOI: 10.3390/ma15072628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Magnetic polymers are often used as loading materials for ionic liquids because of their excellent magnetic separation properties. In this study, a novel imidazolium-based ionic liquid-modified magnetic polymer was synthesized by suspension polymerization and grafting, denoted as γ-Fe2O3@GMA@IM, and this magnetic polymer was used for the adsorption of the acid dye FCF. The magnetic polymer was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, VSM and TGA. These techniques were used to reveal the overall physical properties of magnetic polymers, including the presence of morphology, functional groups, crystalline properties, magnetism and thermal stability. Studies have shown that γ-Fe2O3@GMA@IM can adsorb FCF in a wide pH range (2–10), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 445 mg/g. The adsorption data were more in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm. In order to investigate its reusability, this study used 10% NaCl as the desorption solution, and carried out five batches of adsorption–desorption cycles. After five cycles, the adsorption effect was maintained at 98.3%, which showed a good recycling performance.

Lu C, Yang J, Khan A, Yang J, Li Q, Wang G. A highly efficient technique to simultaneously remove acidic and basic dyes using magnetic ion-exchange microbeads. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 304:114173. [PMID: 34864518 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Revised: 10/31/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the combination of magnetic anion-exchange microbeads (MAM) and magnetic cation-exchange microbeads (MCM) to remove crystal violet (CV; a basic dye) and acid green 9 (AG9; an acidic dye) from their individual and combined solutions. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms experiments were performed in batch mode. CV and AG9 displayed superior affinity towards MCM and MAM, respectively, and their combined solution was efficiently adsorbed by combining MCM and MAM. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intra-particle diffusion models well described the adsorption kinetic data, and the pseudo-second-order model appeared a better fit for the two-component CV/AG9 system. The better fit of the Langmuir isotherm for CV adsorption indicated that CV adsorption occurred on active sites with equal affinity in the monolayer. In contrast, AG9 adsorption onto the heterogeneous MAM surface appeared to be multilayered adsorption. The adsorption capacities of the two dyes decreased with the increase in the co-existing salt concentration and increased only slightly at the high salt level due to the salting-out effect. Moreover, these microbeads maintained most of their initial capacity during five reuse cycles, indicating the great potential of MCM and MAM to remove basic and acidic dyes in practical applications.

Sun Y, Zheng W. Polyethylenimine-functionalized polyacrylonitrile anion exchange fiber as a novel adsorbent for rapid removal of nitrate from wastewater. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 258:127373. [PMID: 32569957 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.127373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
The development of an adsorbent with high adsorption ability and favorable cyclic regeneration performance for the removal of nitrate residues from wastewater is a task of vital importance. To this end, polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) was modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI), and alkyl groups were then introduced around the active amine groups to prepare three polymer-based anion exchange fibers (PAN-PEI-3C, PAN-PEI-5C, and PAN-PEI-8C). The novel fibers were characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherms of the fibers were best fitted by the Langmuir model, and PAN-PEI-5C exhibited a higher adsorption amount of nitrate (31.32 mg/g) than the other adsorbents. The equilibrium was reached expeditiously (within 10 min), and both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models could well describe the adsorption kinetics. More attractively, the saturated PAN-PEI-5C could be eluted using a low-concentration (0.3 M) NaCl solution, without any sharp loss of adsorption amount for five consecutive cycles in the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Furthermore, PAN-PEI-5C could effectively adsorb low-concentration nitrate from real secondary effluents in a fixed-bed column experiment. Our work provides a promising and low-cost material for the removal of nitrate residues in practical applications.

The effect of incorporating inorganic materials into quaternized polyacrylic polymer on its mechanical strength and adsorption behaviour for ibuprofen removal. Sci Rep 2020; 10:5188. [PMID: 32251330 PMCID: PMC7090011 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-62153-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Quaternized polyacrylic polymer has many applications in water treatment because of its ion exchange effects, but its further industrial applications are largely restricted because of its poor mechanical strength. In this work, a magnetic anion exchange resin with a polyacrylic matrix (MAP) was prepared by incorporation of Fe3O4 and subsequent modification with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) to improve the mechanical strength and adsorption performance. The incorporation of Fe3O4 significantly enhanced the mechanical strength of the polymer and improved the sphericity rate after ball milling of the polyacrylic resin from 80.1% to 97.2% as a result of hydrogen bonding between the -OH groups on Fe3O4 and the -NH- groups on the resin matrix. Further TEOS modification could effectively prevent Fe3O4 particles from dislodging from the resins. The adsorption performance was evaluated by using ibuprofen as a model compound. The adsorption kinetics showed that adsorption equilibrium was reached in 150 min. XPS analysis indicated that hydrogen bonding greatly contributed to the adsorption of ibuprofen onto the MAP. Adsorption isotherm analysis indicated that the adsorption was endothermic.

Preferential adsorption of nitrate with different trialkylamine modified resins and their preliminary investigation for advanced treatment of municipal wastewater. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 223:39-47. [PMID: 30763914 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2018] [Revised: 01/31/2019] [Accepted: 02/03/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, a series of mono-functional and bifunctional anion exchange resins with different kinds of trialkylammonium groups were synthesized and used for adsorption of nitrate from aqueous solution. The obtained resins were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and pore size distribution. Adsorptive behaviors and mechanisms were investigated by batch experiments. The nitrate could be preferentially adsorbed in the presence of chloride, sulfate and humic acid by longer-chain trialkylamine modified resins. Especially, the L20 resin with the triethylammonium functional group was demonstrated to possess high selectivity toward nitrate with the highest distribution coefficient among all tested resins. For both single and bi-solutes systems, the adsorption isotherm data could be well fitted with the Langmuir model, while the experimental kinetic data was well described by both pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic model. The L20 resin could be reused after many adsorption-desorption cycles with most of its virgin adsorption capacity for advanced wastewater treatment, indicating its great potential for the selective and efficient removal of nitrate from large amounts of municipal wastewater or surface water.
