    Optimization of Preparation of Fe3O4-L by Chemical Co-Precipitation and Its Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions

    Junzhen Di, Xueying Sun*, Siyi Zhang, Yanrong Dong, Bofu Yuan

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.5, pp. 2209-2232, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.025241 - 13 February 2023

    Abstract To address the serious pollution of heavy metals in AMD, the difficulty and the high cost of treatment, Fe3O4-L was prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method. Based on the single-factor and RSM, the effects of particle size, total Fe concentration, the molar ratio of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and water bath temperature on the removal of AMD by Fe3O4-L prepared by chemical co-precipitation method were analyzed. Static adsorption experiments were conducted on Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ using Fe3O4-L prepared under optimal conditions as adsorbents. The adsorption properties and mechanisms were analyzed by combining SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR for characterization. The… More > Graphic Abstract

    Experimental and Numerical Research on Water Transport during Adsorption and Desorption in Cement-Based Materials

    Xiang Zhang1,*, Miao Su1, Wenjie Yu2, Zhen Lei1, Jun Ren1, Juntong Qu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.2, pp. 1487-1507, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.025799 - 06 February 2023

    Abstract The durability of cement-based materials is related to water transport and storage in their pore network under different humidity conditions. To understand the mechanism and characteristics of water adsorption and desorption processes from the microscopic scale, this study introduces different points of view for the pore space model generation and numerical simulation of water transport by considering the “ink-bottle” effect. On the basis of the pore structure parameters (i.e., pore size distribution and porosity) of cement paste and mortar with water-binder ratios of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 obtained via mercury intrusion porosimetry, randomly formed 3D… More >

    Modeling Date Palm Trunk Fibers (DPTF) Packed Bed Adsorption Performances for Cadmium Removal from Aqueous Wastewater

    Ahmad S. Awad1.*, Banan Hudaib2, Waid Omar2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.6, pp. 1535-1549, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.024300 - 30 January 2023

    Abstract In this study, the potential of a low-cost bio-adsorbent, taken directly from Date Palm Trunk Fibers (DPTF) agricultural wastes, for cadmium ions removal from wastewaters is examined. The performances of this adsorbent are evaluated by building breakthrough curves at different bed heights and flow rates while keeping other parameters, such as the initial feed concentration, pH, and particle size, constant. The results indicate that the maximum cadmium adsorption capacity of DTPF can be obtained from the Thomas model as 51.5 mg/g with the most extended mass transfer zone of 83 min at the lowest flow More > Graphic Abstract

    Fabricating Cationic Lignin Hydrogels for Dye Adsorption

    Chao Wang, Xuezhen Feng, Wanbing Li, Shibin Shang*, Haibo Zhang*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.4, pp. 1793-1805, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.024521 - 01 December 2022

    Abstract Due to the low content of adsorption-active groups in lignin, its application in the field of adsorption is limited. Herein, we first prepared cationic kraft lignin acrylate, from which a cationic lignin (CKLA) hydrogel was further prepared by cationic kraft lignin acrylate, acrylamide, and N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide. The morphology, compression properties and swelling properties of CKLA hydrogels were investigated. The prepared CKLA hydrogel was applied as an adsorbent for Congo red. The effect of CKLA hydrogel dosages, initial concentration of Congo red, and pH on adsorption efficiency was investigated. The maximum Congo red removal efficiency was More >

    Investigation of the Interaction Mechanism between Lignin Structural Units and Enzyme

    Lijing Huang, Penghui Li, Kangjie Jiang, Wenjuan Wu*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.4, pp. 1613-1626, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.023605 - 01 December 2022

    Abstract The effect of lignin structural units on enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass was investigated, especially the inhibitory role of lignin in non-productive adsorption with enzymes. Milled wood lignin (MWL) was isolated from different hardwoods of poplar, eucalyptus and acacia. The isolated lignin samples were characterized by elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography, nitrobenzene oxidation and fourier infrared spectroscopy. The mechanism of lignin structural units on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose was studied by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The results showed that different structural units of lignin had different adsorption capacity for enzymes. The results of nitrobenzene oxidation… More > Graphic Abstract

    Performance of a Solar-Biomass Adsorption Chiller

    Najeh Ghilen1,3,*, Mohammed El Ganaoui3, Slimane Gabsi1,2, Riad Benelmir3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.4, pp. 1015-1026, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.022285 - 02 November 2022

    Abstract A dynamic model is presented for a chiller working with a composite adsorbent (silica activated carbon/CaCl2)–water pair in a solar-biomass cooling installation. The main objective is determining a link between two possible evaporator configurations and the refrigerator’s performances. The two considered evaporators work at different pressure levels. The related time evolution profiles of temperature, pressure and water content are studied. Moreover, the effects of hot water inlet temperature and cooling water inlet temperature on the specific cooling capacity (SCP) and coefficient of performance (COP) are predicted by means of numerical simulations. The results show that an More >

    Abstract A study is conducted on the performances of a solar powered continuous-adsorption refrigerator considering two particular days as references cases, namely, the summer solstice (June 21st) and the autumn equinox (September 21st). The cooling capacity, system performance coefficient and the daily rate of available cooling energy are assessed. The main goal is to compare the performances of a solar adsorption chiller equipped with a hot water tank (HWT) with an equivalent system relying on solar collectors with no heat storage module. The daily cooling rates for the solar refrigerator are found to be 102.4 kWh More >

    Zhiguang Yang1,*, Gaojun Yan1,2, Xueping Liu1, Zhengyuan Feng1, Xinfeng Zhu1, Yanli Mao1, Songtao Chen1, Zhisheng Yu2, Ruimei Fan3, Linlin Shan3,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.12, pp. 3573-3585, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.022031 - 14 July 2022

    Abstract Adsorption can be used to recover effectively the volatile organic gases (VOCs) in the exhaust gas from factories through using an appropriate adsorption bed. Due to form a physical or chemical bond, adsorption occurs between the porous solid medium and the liquid or gas multi-component fluid mixture. The regeneration capacity of the adsorbent is as important as the adsorption capacity and it determines the economics of the adsorption system. The regeneration of adsorbent can be realized through changing the pressure or temperature of the system. Here, activated carbon samples from coconut shell were prepared and… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract The toxic dyestuffs from printing and dyeing wastewater have caused serious damages to the ecological environment, thus exploring effective methods to remove them having become a key topic. Here, a series of biochar samples were synthesized form kenaf to adsorb methylene blue (MB), which was acted as the dye representative for the test of adsorption capacity due to the presence of abundant double bond and aromatic heterocyclic ring. By tuning the raw materials and pyrolysis temperature, a super adsorption capacity about 164.21 mg·g–1 was obtained over the biochar that pyrolyzed at 700°C with the kenaf fiber… More >
