Ion Adsorption (ion + adsorption)
Kinds of Ion Adsorption Selected AbstractsQuantitative Studies of Metal Ion Adsorption on a Chemically Modified Carbon Surface: Adsorption of Cd(II) and Hg(II) on Glutathione Modified CarbonELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 8 2009Poobalasingam Abiman Abstract The adsorption behavior of model toxic metal cations namely Cd(II) and Hg(II) on carbon surfaces chemically modified by glutathione was investigated as a function of the concentration of Cd2+ and Hg2+ ions, time and the amount of modified carbon used. Square wave and linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry was used to monitor the uptake of Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions respectively. Kinetic and adsorption isotherm studies reveal that both Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions undergo similar large adsorption with the modified glutathione carbon material (Glu-carbon).

Asakuma Abstract The impurity effect by trivalent metal ion such as Al3+, Fe3+ and Cr3+ during crystal growth of KDP is reasonably well documented. If a metal ion is adsorbed onto the crystal surface, it prevents the step propagation relevant to the crystal growth rate. However, this impurity adsorption mechanism is still not well understood. Recently, in our work on the addition of chelate agents, a recovery effect of the metal ion adsorption was discovered. However, its recovery mechanism is not clearly understood both theoretically and phenomenally. In this research, ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid, EDTA, which is the most common chelate agent, was used as a recovery agent. The recovery mechanism was considered from the correlation of experimental data and the interfacial distribution model that we proposed in our former study. Furthermore, quantum calculation of EDTA metal complex can explain the relaxation of impurity adsorption by the addition of EDTA. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source] Zinc ion adsorption on montmorillonite,Al hydroxide polymer systemsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE, Issue 2 2003R. P. T. Janssen Summary Clay,Al hydroxide polymers (CAlHO) can bind heavy metals effectively and may play an important role in the adsorption behaviour and metal binding capacity of soils. We studied the dependence of Al loading and pH on the adsorption of Zn on Na-saturated montmorillonite,Al hydroxide polymer systems. The available binding sites on Al hydroxide polymers (AlHO) had a very strong affinity for Zn ions. Zinc binding on the clay surface became important when the binding sites on the AlHO were nearly all occupied. The pH had a very strong effect on the Zn binding. At pH 6.6 much more Zn could be adsorbed to the AlHO than at pH 5.0. The effect of the Al:clay ratio on Zn binding was influenced by pH. At pH 6.6, Zn binding to the AlHO, expressed per mole AlHO, was independent of the Al:clay ratio, whereas at pH 5.0 this relation was dependent. This is related to the constant charge of the AlHO at pH 6.6, whereas at pH 5.0 the charge decreases with increasing Al:clay ratio. If clay,Al hydroxide polymers are present in the soil their Zn binding to the AlHO will strongly influence the availability of the Zn. [source] Spectroscopic and thermal studies of poly[(N -vinylimidazole)- co -(maleic acid)] hydrogel and its quaternized formPOLYMER INTERNATIONAL, Issue 4 2008Nursel Pekel Abstract BACKGROUND: In this study, poly[(N -vinylimidazole)- co -(maleic acid)] (poly(VIm/MA)) hydrogels were prepared by ,-irradiation of ternary mixtures of N -vinylimidazole,maleic acid,water using a 60Co ,-source. Spectroscopic and thermal analyses of these hydrogels as a function of protonation showed that the results are consistent with the existence of an H-bridged complex when the imidazole rings are partially protonated. Finally, the efficiency and binding trends of Cu2+, Co2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions with both protonated and unprotonated poly(VIm/MA) hydrogels were determined. RESULTS: Gelation of 90% was reached at around 180 kGy dose at the end of irradiation. The poly(VIm/MA) hydrogels synthesized were further protonated in HCl solutions with different concentrations. Hydrogels originally showed 450% volumetric swelling; this ratio reached 1900% after protonation at pH = 5.0. Fourier transform infrared spectral changes in the +NH stretching region (3200,3600 and 1173 cm,1) and the ring mode deformation at 915 cm,1 are consistent with the formation of an H-bridged complex between the protonated and unprotonated imidazole rings upon partial protonation. Similar changes were obtained from NMR spectra of both the protonated and unprotonated forms of the hydrogels. CONCLUSION: Protonated and unprotonated hydrogels have been used in heavy metal ion adsorption studies for environmental purposes. Adsorption decreased with decreasing pH value due to the protonation of the VIm ring. The adsorption of Me2+ ions decreased in the order Cu2+ > Co2+ > Cd2+ > Pb2+, which is related to the complexation stability as well as the ionic radius of the metal ions. These results show that P(VIm/MA) hydrogels can be used efficiently to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. However, the protonated form is a bad choice for heavy metal ion adsorption due to electrostatic repulsion forces; it can nevertheless be assumed to be a good choice for anion adsorption from environmental waste water systems.

The modified cellulosic fibers gave higher copper ion adsorption, and showed copper ion uptake values of 6.24,mg/g at 293°C, as against no adsorption for unmodified cellulosic fibers. Adsorption isotherm model indicated the adsorption of the novel modified fibers for heavy metal ions best fitted for Langmiur model. The adsorption was an exothermic reaction, and the reaction caloric was 6.295,kJ/mol. Copper ions could form a 7:4 complex with , -cyclodextrin (, -CD). The novel modified cellulosic fibers could also form inclusion complexes with neutral red via , -CD molecules. In addition, it was found that the novel modified cellulosic fibers had nearly the same mechanical and thermal properties as the unmodified cellulosic fibers because the modification did not destroy the main chain of cellulose molecules.

[source] A Study of Occurrences of Ag in Pb-Zn-Cu Ore Deposits in ChinaACTA GEOLOGICA SINICA (ENGLISH EDITION), Issue 3 2000WANG Jingchun Abstract, A systematic study of occurrences of silver in 156 Pb-Zn-Cu ore deposits indicates that silver mainly occurs in nonferrous metal ore deposits in forms of association and paragenesis. It occurs mainly as independent minerals in nature and occasionally as ion adsorption, isomorphous or amorphous silver minerals. Nearly 190 silver minerals have been discovered in China. Their shapes, constituents, textures, grain sizes, embedded types, distribution patterns, mineral assemblages and metallogenic series suggest that these characteristics are closely related to geneses of deposits and dependent of ore-forming conditions. Pb, Zn and Cu sulphides are the main carrier minerals of silver. The partition of silver in ore is constrained by the mineralization intensity, grain size and embedded form of silver minerals and mineral assemblages. [source] Adsorption Behavior of Potassium Ion on Planting MaterialsCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2007Dechprasitthichokea Paunpassanan Abstract Characterization of planting materials used as adsorbent has been studied in order to compare potassium ion adsorption on two types of planting materials, which are a fired planting material (FPM) made from a mixture of 4 kinds of wastes (bottom ash, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, paddy soil and sawdust) formed and fired at 850 °C and the commercial planting material called "hydroball" (HDB) bought from Jatujak market, Bangkok. The physical characteristics of both types of planting materials indicate that the FPM has a larger specific surface area than the HDB. The factors affecting potassium adsorption on both the planting materials such as an equilibration time and some solid/solution ratios were investigated. The suitable equilibration time for the adsorption to reach an equilibrium on the FPM and HDB is one and two hours, respectively. The highest amounts of potassium ion adsorbed on both the planting materials were obtained when the solid/solution ratio was 1:15. The adsorption behavior on both the planting materials tends to correspond with the Freundlich isotherm. [source] Chitosan(chitin)/cellulose composite biosorbents prepared using ionic liquid for heavy metal ions adsorptionAICHE JOURNAL, Issue 8 2009Xiaoqi Sun Abstract Chitosan(chitin)/cellulose composites as biodegradable biosorbents were prepared under an environment-friendly preparation processes using ionic liquids. Infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectra indicated the stronger intermolecular hydrogen bond between chitosan and cellulose, and the hydroxyl and amine groups were believed to be the metal ion binding sites. Among the prepared biosorbents, freeze-dried composite had higher adsorption capacity and better stability. The capacity of adsorption was found to be Cu(II) (0.417 mmol/g) > Zn(II) (0.303 mmol/g) > Cr(VI) (0.251 mmol/g) > Ni(II) (0.225 mmol/g) > Pb(II) (0.127 mmol/g) at the same initial concentration 5 mmol L,1. In contrast to some other chitosan-type biosorbenrts, preparation and component of the biosorbent were obviously more environment friendly. Moreover, adsorption capacity of chitosan in the blending biosorbent could be fully shown. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009 [source] | ||||||||||||||||
