Rice husk , as an abundant agricultural waste and renewable biomass, is adopted to produce porous silica which is used as a potential carbon-free adsorbent for mercury emission control of coal-fired power plants. The rice husk derived porous silica (RHS) exhibits a good Hg 0 adsorption capability with Hg 0 removal efficiency above 80% in the temperature range of 60–140 °C, which is plausibly due to the big specific surface area and mesoporous structure. The mercury removal performance of RHS can be evidently reinforced by KBr modification. The optimal KBr loading value and reaction temperature are 2 wt% and 140 °C, respectively. Acidic gas components, such as NO and SO 2 , both show slight inhibitive effects on Hg 0 adsorption process probably owing to the competitive adsorption or the elimination of adsorption sites.

This work used aqueous solution free radical polymerization to create polymers of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, itaconic acid, and allyl polyoxyethylene ether as a high-temperature resistant retarder (APMS/IA/APEG, from now on referred to as AIA). Gel permeation chromatography, fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 HNMR), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG) were used to characterize their molecular structure and characteristics. Tests were conducted on the thickening time, rheological characteristics, and compressive strength of AIA in cement slurries. The cement slurry thickened for 276 min at 180°C during the test, and the cement stone's 24-h compressive strength was consistently more than 20 MPa. The hydration products were analyzed using x-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy methods, which were then coupled with molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the AIA retarding mechanism. When AIA is added to a cement slurry, it forms a chelate structure with Ca 2+ and a strong adsorption layer on the surfaces of the cement particles. This stops the cement from hydrating. The AIA side chain, APEG, can wrap the active group in AIA at low temperatures. AIA exposes more adsorption groups because of the APEG chains stretching at higher temperatures. AIA can, therefore, be used for deep well operations at high temperatures.

Iron (III) co-precipitation with dissolved organic matter (DOM) is pervasive in many natural environments. However, the effects of DOM on the formation of Fe(III) hydroxysulfate (FHS) and its environmental implications are poorly understood. In this study, fulvic acid (FA) was used as a model DOM compound, and experiments were devised to investigate the effects of FA on the formation of FHS. In addition, the Pb(II) adsorption capabilities of FHSs biosynthesized under various FA dosages, including kinetics and sorption isotherm experiments, were conducted. These experiments showed that co-precipitation of FA promoted the formation of Fe-FA composites, FA-doped schwertmannite , and small particles of jarosite . Co-precipitates are more enriched in carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups due to their preferential binding with FHS. The adsorption kinetics , isotherms and mechanisms of Pb onto the biosynthesized FHSs were then comprehensively characterized and modeled. Though the specific surface area decreased with increasing FA loading, the introduction of FA into FHSs increased Pb(II) adsorption, with the highest concentration of FA addition improving the removal capacity of Pb(II) to 91.54%. Kinetics studies and intra-particle diffusion models indicated that the adsorption of Pb(II) onto the FHSs was correlated with the number of active sites, and two adsorption steps: surface adsorption and the diffusion of Pb(II) in channels inside the biosynthesized FHSs, are suggested. The adsorption mechanism was attributed to cation exchange between Pb(II) and –OH and –COOH functional groups, and the co-precipitated FA provided additional sites for Pb(II) adsorption by FHS.

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for selective extraction of p -hydroxybenzoic acid ( p -HB) was synthesized by suspension polymerization using p -HB as template, 4-vinyl pyridine as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker. As characterized by scanning electron microscopy, the MIP particles are spherical, with size ranging from 1 to 8 μm. Compared with the non-imprinted polymer (NIP), the MIP shows higher binding capacity toward p -HB: maximum binding capacity for p -HB being 8.07 μmol g −1 over MIP and 3.88 μmol g −1 over NIP. The adsorption of p -HB on MIP follows the Freundlich model and displays pseudo-second-order kinetics. The results of selective and competitive binding experiments confirm that the molecularly imprinted sites have excellent recognition ability toward p -HB. The results reveal that the MIP is a promising adsorbent for selective extraction of p -HB from water samples. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136 , 46984.

The consortium of minerals and organic matter notably alters and affects minerals' surface characteristics and nutrients providence. Organic matter such as biochar can modify the availability status of macronutrients like phosphorus (P). Despite some investigation, the adsorption/desorption of P with pure iron (hydr)oxides and the probable mechanisms involved are still unknown. In the present study, the goethite/hematite or goethite–biochar/hematite–biochar complexes were prepared, and a batch experiment with different P concentrations, time spell, pH, and ionic strength is performed to evaluate the sorption characteristics of P. The results of our study suggest that the P adsorption on mineral surface decreased with the increasing pH. Furthermore, the coexistence of biochar and minerals significantly inhibits P adsorption on the minerals surface. The results of Languimner and Freundlich's equations signify that the biochar–minerals complexes have heterogeneous adsorption sites and the presence of biochar reduces P adsorption on minerals surface. Among four biochars including peanut straw biochar (PC (B1)), rice straw biochar (RC (B2)), canola straw biochar (CC (B3)), and soybean straw biochar (SC (B4)), PC was more effective than other biochars to inhibit P adsorption on minerals surfaces.

In this paper, we synthesized a polyglycerol(PG)-mediated superparamagnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite called MGON, consisting of PG-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) covalently bonded to PG-functionalized graphene oxide (GO). MGON exhibits better dispersibility and colloidal stability in aqueous solution than the magnetic graphene oxide reported in the literature. The physicochemical properties of MGON were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Applied to the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) in aqueous solution as an adsorbent, the MGON showed excellent adsorption performance with the maximum adsorption capacity of 684.93 mg/g at 298 K. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm results indicate that the adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models. Adsorption thermodynamics has confirmed that the adsorption process of TC on MGON is spontaneous and endothermic. With the increase of temperature, the adsorption capacity of MGON increases continuously, and the adsorption capacity of MGON is the largest when the pH value is 7. Furthermore, the π-π and cation-π interaction, amidation reaction, and hydrogen bonding can be used to explain the adsorption mechanism of TC on MGON. Desorption and regeneration experiments showed that MGON still had 67.65% regenerative performance after five cycles. Hence, MGON is a promising adsorbent in the removal of tetracycline from wastewater.

B-site cobalt-doped perovskite oxide BaNiO3 oxygen sorbents have been synthesized by an EDTA sol–gel method and further applied for producing oxygen. BaCoxNi1−xO3−δ oxygen sorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic oxygen adsorption/desorption experiments. Results showed that BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ features higher production amounts of oxygen among the candidates. The operating factors of oxygen releasing performance were investigated in detail including adsorption temperature, desorption temperature, adsorption time, CO2 flow rate and CO2 partial pressure. It was concluded that the temperature and CO2 flow rate are the main reasons affecting the performance of perovskite oxygen sorbents. The optimal operating parameters of oxygen releasing performance for BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ were as follows: adsorption temperature was 850 °C, desorption temperature was 850 °C, air adsorption time was 30 min, CO2 flow was 200 ml min−1 and the ratio of CO2/N2 was 100 : 0. The oxygen production amount of BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ was 49.5 mg g−1 under the optimal reaction conditions. Finally, multiple cycles demonstrated that BaCo0.6Ni0.4O3−δ displays higher stability and regeneration capacity, which is the key factor providing a stable O2/CO2 gas stream for oxyfuel combustion application.

The conventional separation technologies, like chemical precipitation and adsorption processes, cannot quickly and selectively separate and recycle heavy metal ions from waste. Due to its rich sulfur content and excellent electrical conductivity, vanadium disulfide is a potential material for effectively removing lead from wastewater. The vanadium disulfide material with selective adsorption ability was introduced into CDI technology to construct a coupling technology with both advantages. The N -doped modified ZIF@vanadium disulfide (ZAC@VS 2 ) composites were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Electrosorption experiments show that ZAC@VS 2 material presents the remarkable saturated adsorption capacity to lead(II) ions (239.52 mg/g) in the 500 mg/L PbCl 2 solution. In the triplex blend system (Fe 3+ /Pb 2+ /Na + ) with each solute density of 100 mg/L, the saturated adsorption efficiency of 85.4% to Pb 2+ can still be maintained. In addition, compared with the Langmuir(R 2 =0.873) adsorption isotherm model, the Freundlich model (R 2 =0.922) can be better used to fit the adsorption process, which proves that the adsorption process is multilayered and heterogeneous. XPS tests and competitive adsorption experiments show that the electric double layer (EDL) and complexation together promote the selective adsorption of heavy metal ions by ZAC@VS 2 . ZAC@VS 2 composite electrode shows excellent performance in the removal of lead ions in battery waste liquid, indicating the potential of introducing ZAC@VS 2 into CDI to remove lead ions.

Various types of polyoxometalates (POMs) have been synthesized since the 19th century, but their assortment has been mostly limited to Groups 5 and 6 metals. Herein, a new family of POMs composed of a carbon group element as the addenda atoms with two distinct phases, LnPbOClO 4 -1 (Ln = Sm to Ho, Y) and LnPbOClO 4 -2 (Ln = Er and Tm) is reported. Both structures are built from [Ln 6 O 8 ] rare-earth metal hexamers being incorporated in [Pb 18 O 32 ]/[Pb 12 O 24 ] polyplumbites, and unbound perchlorates as charge-balancing anions. Impressively, YPbOClO 4 -1 and ErPbOClO 4 -2 exhibit exceptional uptake capacities (434.7 and 427.7 mg g −1 ) toward ReO 4 − , a chemical surrogate for the key radioactive fission product in the nuclear fuel cycle 99 TcO 4 − , which are the highest values among all inorganic anion-exchange materials reported until now. The sorption mechanism is clearly elucidated and visualized by single-crystal-to-single-crystal structural transformation from ErPbOClO 4 -2 to a perrhenate-containing complex ErPbOReO 4 , revealing a unique ReO 4 − uptake selectivity driven by specific interaction within Pb···O-ReO 3 − bonds.

Adsorptive separation membranes are widely utilized for the removal of toxic dyeing pollutants from dyeing wastewater. However, developing novel adsorption membranes with large adsorption capacities and enhanced adsorption performance for dyes in actual wastewater poses a significant challenge. This study focuses on the fabrication of crown ether-containing copolymer porous membrane (CRPM) and investigation of the adsorption performance of dyes from aqueous solutions. The morphology structure and pore size distribution revealed that the membrane was endowed with rich micropores and hierarchical porous structures. Three typical cationic dyes (MB, RhB, CV) and an anionic dye (MO) were selected to evaluate the adsorption behavior. The results of adsorption isotherms and kinetics demonstrated that the adsorption data could be well-fitted using the Freundlich and pseudo-first-order kinetic models, the thermodynamic parameters revealed that the adsorption process of dyes on CRPM is a spontaneous endothermic reaction. The membrane exhibited excellent adsorption performance for cationic dyes, with RhB displaying a higher maximum adsorption capacity than previously reported porous membranes. Notably, dynamic adsorption-desorption filtration demonstrated a rapid removal efficiency, with RhB, MB, and CV achieving removal rates of 99.09%, 98.63%, and 99.14% respectively, after five cycles. The filtration volume of the CRPM membrane was 2.4-fold greater than that of a traditional PVDF membrane when applied to actual dyeing wastewater. DFT theoretical calculations were employed to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. These calculations confirmed the significant roles of electrostatic interactions, H-bonds and π–π interactions in facilitating the high-efficiency adsorption of cationic dyes. These findings highlight the potential of the crown ether-containing copolymer as a promising material for adsorption separation membranes in the treatment of dyeing wastewater.

Traditional adsorption resin prepared by a low efficiency method has a low porosity and surface area , which limits the adsorption performance of the resin. Therefore, a novel porous resin was developed by structural design of the resins through post- modification with HPA and a post-crosslinked method. The novel porous post-modification resin was successfully prepared by the multistep method. Meanwhile, the high surface area and abundant micropores in HCR-AO can improve the adsorption rate by accelerating the diffusion of uranium in the external diffusion stage. The removal capacity of HCR-AO increased 366% for HCR and 120% for PSD-AO at the same initial concentration. HCR-AO takes less time to reach equilibrium than PSD-AO and HCR. Excitingly, the adsorption amount of the material dropped only slightly even after 8 cycles. The short equilibrium time and outstanding removal efficiency makes it a novel candidate for further extraction of U (VI) from seawater .

Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) is an important groundwater treatment technology. However, selecting the optimal reactive material and estimating the width remain critical and challenging problems in PRB design. Machine learning (ML) has advantages in predicting evolution and tracing contaminants in temporal and spatial distribution. In this study, ML was developed to design PRB, and its feasibility was validated through experiments and a case study. ML algorithm showed a good prediction about the Freundlich equilibrium parameter (R 2 0.94 for K F , R 2 0.96 for n). After SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) analysis, redefining the range of the significant impact factors (initial concentration and pH) can further improve the prediction accuracy (R 2 0.99 for K F , R 2 0.99 for n). To mitigate model bias and ensure comprehensiveness, evaluation index with expert opinions was used to determine the optimal material from candidate materials. Meanwhile, the ML algorithm was also applied to predict the width of the mass transport zone in the adsorption column. This procedure showed excellent accuracy with R 2 and root‐mean‐square‐error (RMSE) of 0.98 and 1.2, respectively. Compared with the traditional width design methodology, ML can enhance design efficiency and save experiment time. The novel approach is based on traditional design principles, and the limitations and challenges are highlighted. After further expanding the data set and optimizing the algorithm, the accuracy of ML can make up for the existing limitations and obtain wider applications.
