In this paper, a broad overview of the available technologies for arsenic removal has been presented on the basis of literature survey. The main treatment methods included coagulation-sedimentation, adsorption separation and ion exchange, membrane technique, which have both advantages and disadvantages. It concluded that the selection of treatment process should be site specific and prevailing conditions and no process can serve the purpose under diverse conditions as each technology has its own limitations. In order to gain good results, some methods should be improved.展开更多

[Method] Factors in the extraction process, sample weight, ammonium acetate volume, extraction time and strontium chloride volume were tested, and the stability, precision and accuracy of the method were also investigated. Meanwhile, samples at different pH values were determined by this method. [Result] The results showed that this method operation has simple operation with good stability and high precision. [Conclusion] This method could be applied to determine exchangeable Ca and Mg contents in tobacco growing area.展开更多

The sericin constitutes 20%- 30% of silk proteins and it covers the fibmin. Sericin is usually treated as impurity and removed during the process of degumming in dyeing and printing factories. However, sericin is a useful natural protein. In this paper, viscose auion-exchange fibers have been used to absorb seriein from waste water. The amount of adsorbed sericin into the viscose anion-exchange fibers at different temperatures and times has been studied. The study show that the anion-exchange fibers can adsorb sericin from the waste water. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption data show that the adsorption of sericin onto anion-exchange fiber fit the Freundlich isotherm at 25 1C and 50 ℃, and fit the Langmuir isotherm at 75 ℃.展开更多

Atomic absorption spectrum and X-ray diffraction analysis were carried out to investigate the effects of Ag^＋ , Cu^2＋ and Zn^2＋ on antimicrobial abilities of natural porous minerals, and the effect of preparation method on ion exchange capacity of antimicrobial material, respectively. The results show that for the ion exchange capacity, clay mineral is higher than fibrous mineral, i.e. both zeolite and montmorillonite are higher; the antimicrobial ability of material with Ag^＋ is the bests the exchange capacities of materials with Cu^2＋ or Zn^2＋ are all higher, but the antimicrobial ability of Cu^2＋ is better than that of Zn^2＋ .展开更多

The present work focuses on natural organic matter （NOM） and its interaction with anion exchanger and adsorber resins to optimize organics uptake. In this study, four different starches （one of them 14C-labelled） with different molecular size distributions were selected as model substances for the biopolymer fraction of NOM. Their uptake by various anion exchangers and adsorbers was measured in column experiments. Results are discussed in terms of size exclusion, anion exchange, adsorption, and hydrophilic/hydrophobic repulsion. In summary, at neutral pH, starch has been removed preferably by size-exclusion followed by adsorption, whereas anion exchange resins show higher uptake capacities than ＂pure＂ adsorber resins caused by stronger attraction between starch and polar functional groups of the anion exchangers. At acidic pH, the uptake of sulphate, as competitive adsorptive, leads to an earlier starch breakthrough at anion exchangers. Therefore, adsorbers are more effective. It was found that the higher the water content of the resins, the more effective the uptake is.展开更多
