However, zinc and iron mainly exist in the form of zinc ferrite, which are difficult to separate and recover. This study proposed a new process involving sulfidation roasting, magnetic separation and flotation to recover zinc and iron in ZLR. Through sulfidation roasting of ZLR with pyrite, zinc and iron were converted into ZnS and Fe3 O4. The effects of pyrite dosage, roasting temperature and roasting time on the sulfidation of zinc in ZLR were investigated. The results showed that the sulfidation percentage of zinc reached 91.8% under the optimum condition. Besides, it was found that ball-milling was favorable for the separation and recovery of zinc and iron in sulfidation products. After ball-milling pretreatment, iron and zinc were enriched from sulfidation products by magnetic separation and flotation. The grade of iron in magnetic concentrates was 52.3% and the grade of zinc in flotation concentrates was 31.7%, which realized the recovery of resources.展开更多

The field trials, including dissipation and residue experiments, were conducted in Hunan, Yunnan and Hainan Provinces. Forchlorfenuron was applied at 32 a.i.g ha^-1 rate for the dissipation study and both 21 and 32 a.i.g ha^-1 for the residue study. Representative cucumbers and soil samples were collected at predetermined intervals for HPLC for UV- detector analysis. The average recoveries of the method were 80.8%-92.0% with coefficients variation （CV） between 0.4% and 11.8%. The detection limit of forchlorfenuron in cucumbers and soil samples was 0.003 mg·kg^-1 and the minimum detectable amount was 3.0× 10^-10 g. The half life of forchlorfenuron in cucumbers in the three provinces changed as： Yunnan （5.50 days）, Hunan （5.88 days）, and Hainan （6.53 days） and in the soil was observed： Hainan （6.54 days）, Hunan （7.64 days）, and Yunnan （8.39 days）. The maximum terminal residue in cucumbers at 32 a.i.g ha^-1 rate after 5 days was 0.009 mg·kg^-1 （Yunnan） followed by 0.0085 mg·kg^-1 （Hainan） and 0.0082 mg·kg^-1（Hunan） which was below MRL value of 0.01 mg·kg^-1 established by the USA, EPA. So a waiting period of 5 days should be established after spaying on cucumbers to avoid hazard to human beings.展开更多

The results show that HF can effectively destabilize the Cr（VI）-bearing minerals, resulting in the mobilization of Cr（VI） from COPR into the leachate. Particle size significantly influences the leaching of acid-soluble Cr（VI） from COPR, followed by leaching time, whereas the effects of HF concentration and leaching temperature are slight and the influence of stirring rate is negligible. The leaching process of acid-soluble Cr（VI） from COPR is controlled by the diffusion through the product layer. The apparent activation energy is 8.696 kJ/mol and the reaction orders with respect to HF concentration and particle size is 0.493 8 and -2.013 3, respectively.展开更多

In this work, the kinetics, isotherms of Cr（Ⅲ） and Cr（V[） adsorption and their removal by SPR were investigated. The results show that the removal percentages of Cr（Ⅵ） and Cr（Ⅲ） increase with increasing SPR dosage and temperature and decrease with increasing SPR particle size and the initial concentration of chromium ions. However, the influence of pH value on the Cr（Ⅵ） removal differs from that of the Cr（Ⅲ） removal. The Cr（Ⅵ） removal percentage decreases with increasing pH values, while the Cr（Ⅲ） removal percentage increases with increasing pH value. The adsorption kinetics of Cr（Ⅵ） and Cr（Ⅲ） well fits with pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm can well describe the adsorption phenomena of chromium ions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.567 mg/g for Cr（Ⅵ） and 3.446 mg/g for Cr（Ⅲ）. Moreover, SPR reveals higher adsorption capacity for Cr（Ⅲ） than that for Cr（Ⅵ）, which implies that SPR has more potential application for Cr（Ⅲ）-containing wastewater treatment than that for Cr（Ⅵ）-containing wastewater treatment.展开更多

Indium was extracted by technique of low acid leaching and solvent extraction. The conditions of separating iron and indium were studied and the optimal conditions were determined. When the residue is two class countercurrent leached with 2 mol/L H 2SO 4 and 30 40 g/L NaCl at 100 ℃, the leaching rate of indium is 80%. The extraction rate of indium is over 98% and that of iron is less than 5% after it is third class countercurrent extracted by P204, and when sulfonated kerosene is used as solvent, acidity in aqueous phase remains the same as that of leaching liquid, and phase is for 1∶3. Using 2 mol/L HCl as back extraction agent, with phase ratio being 5∶1, by third class countercurrent back extraction, the back extraction rate of indium is over 99%, but that of iron is very low, which can meet the need of separating indium and iron.展开更多

The results show that Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption by SPR and biochar is highly pH-dependent and Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption amount increases with the increase of pH. The adsorption kinetics of Cr（Ⅲ） fits well with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption capacities of 15.85 mg/g and 3.43 mg/g for biochar and SPR were calculated by Langmuir model. This indicates that biochar has a larger ability for Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption than SPR. The free energy change value （AG） reveals a spontaneous sorption process of Cr（Ⅲ） onto SPR and non-spontaneous sorption process onto biochar. The entropy change （AS） and enthalpy change （AH） are found to be 66.27 J/（mol＇K） and 17.13 kJ/mol for SPR and 91.59 J/（mol-K） and 30.875 kJ/mol for biochar which further reflect an affinity of Cr（Ⅲ） onto SPR and biochar. It is suggested that biochar has potential to be an efficient adsorbent in the removal of Cr（Ⅲ） from industrial wastewater.展开更多

The MnO2 is successfully synthesized from the metal cations extracted from EMR, which can effectively recycle the manganese in the EMR. By the combination of XRD, SEM and EDX analysis, the as-prepared MnO2 is found to exhibit a single-phase with the purity of 90.3%. Furthermore, EMR-CSH is synthesized from EMR via hydrothermal method. Based on the detailed analyses using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX and BET surface area measurement, the product synthesized under the optimum conditions(p H 12.0 and 100 °C) is identified to be a calcium silicate hydrate with a specific surface area of 205 m2/g incorporating the slag-derived metals(Al and Mg) in its structure. The as-synthesized material shows good adsorption properties for removal of Mn2+ and phosphate ions diluted in water, making it a promising candidate for efficient bulk wastewater treatment. This conversion process, which enables us to fabricate two different kinds of valuable materials from EMR at low cost and through convenient preparation steps, is surely beneficial from the viewpoint of the chemical and economical use of EMR.展开更多

The residue curve maps of ethyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the pseudo-homogeneous rate-based kinetic model and the NRTL activity coefficient model. The results show that the unstable node branch emerges from the ethyl acetate/water edge, moving toward the chemical equilibrium surface with the increase of Damkoeler value （D）, and the node reaches the ternary reactive azeotrope when D-∞ eventually. Conceptual design for the ethyl acetate synthesis of reactive distillation based on the residue curve maps is presented at last.展开更多

The average recoveries of the method were 80.8%-92.0% with coefficients variation （CV） between 0.4% and 11.8%. The detection limit of forchlorfenuron in cucumbers and soil samples was 0.003 mg·kg^-1 and the minimum detectable amount was 3.0× 10^-10 g. The half life of forchlorfenuron in cucumbers in the three provinces changed as： Yunnan （5.50 days）, Hunan （5.88 days）, and Hainan （6.53 days） and in the soil was observed： Hainan （6.54 days）, Hunan （7.64 days）, and Yunnan （8.39 days）. The maximum terminal residue in cucumbers at 32 a.i.g ha^-1 rate after 5 days was 0.009 mg·kg^-1 （Yunnan） followed by 0.0085 mg·kg^-1 （Hainan） and 0.0082 mg·kg^-1（Hunan） which was below MRL value of 0.01 mg·kg^-1 established by the USA, EPA. So a waiting period of 5 days should be established after spaying on cucumbers to avoid hazard to human beings.

文摘A large amount of acid-leaching residue is produced during the conventional Zn hydrometallurgy process,and this residue has a large concentration of a variety of valuable metals.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a procedure that entails the use of sulfation roasting,water leaching,and chlorination leaching(blowing oxygen technique)to recover Pb and Ag,followed by cooling crystallization and the replacement of Ag with lead sheet,to realize the full recovery of all valuable metals from zinc acid-leaching residue;consequently,good results were achieved.The best results were obtained under the following conditions:a sulfuric acid at 70%of the raw material quality,roasting temperature of 300°C and roasting time of 2 h,followed by the process of leaching the roasted residue for 1 h by applying a water-to-solid ratio of 5꞉1 at room temperature.The recovery rates of Zn and Fe were 98.69%and 92.36%,respectively.The main parameters of the chlorine salt leaching system were as follows:Cl−concentration of 300 g/L,Fe3+concentration of 25 g/L,acid concentration of 2 mol/L,liquid-to-solid ratio of 9 mL:1 g,temperature of 90℃,and leaching time of 0.5 h;this leaching process was followed by filtration separation.These conditions resulted in high extents of leaching for Pb and Ag(i.e.,98.87%and 96.74%,respectively).Finally,the kinetics of the process of Ag leaching using Cl−ions in an oxygen-rich medium was investigated.It was found that the leaching process was controlled by the diffusion of the product layers,and the activation energy was 19.82 kJ/mol.

文摘A detailed understanding of the composition,buffering capacity,surface charge property,and metals leaching behavior of bauxite residue is the key to improved management,both in reducing the environmental impact and using the material as an industrial by-product for other applications.In this study,physical,chemical,and surface charge properties of bauxite residue derived from a combined process were investigated.Results indicated that the main alkaline solids in bauxite residue were katoite,sodalite,and calcite.These minerals also lead to a higher acid neutralizing capacity of bauxite residue.Acid neutralizing capacity(ANC)to pH 7.0 of this residue is about 0.9 mol H^+/kg solid.Meanwhile,the Fe-,Al-,and Si-containing minerals in bauxite residue resulted in an active surface;The isoelectric point(IEP)and point of zero charge(PZC)were 7.88 and 7.65,respectively.This also leads to a fact that most of the metals in bauxite residue were adsorbed by these surface charged solids,which makes the metals not readily move under natural or even moderately acidic conditions.The leaching behavior of metals as a function of pH indicated that the metals in bauxite residue present low release concentrations(pH>3).

文摘Leaching kinetics of acid-soluble Cr（VI） in chromite ore processing residue （COPR） using hydrofluoric （HF） acid solution as a leaching agent was investigated for potential remediation of COPR with industrial waste water containing HF. The results show that HF can effectively destabilize the Cr（VI）-bearing minerals, resulting in the mobilization of Cr（VI） from COPR into the leachate. Particle size significantly influences the leaching of acid-soluble Cr（VI） from COPR, followed by leaching time, whereas the effects of HF concentration and leaching temperature are slight and the influence of stirring rate is negligible. The leaching process of acid-soluble Cr（VI） from COPR is controlled by the diffusion through the product layer. The apparent activation energy is 8.696 kJ/mol and the reaction orders with respect to HF concentration and particle size is 0.493 8 and -2.013 3, respectively.

文摘Considering that Fe,Al elements in bauxite residue are active components for water purification,an effective polyaluminum ferric chloride(PAFC)coagulant derived from bauxite residue,with Fe2O3 content>5.1%,Al2O3%>6.5%,basicity>65%,was successfully prepared.The effect of as-prepared PAFC on the zeta potential for printing and dyeing wastewater was investigated.Comparing with polyferric chloride(PFC)and polyferric sulfate(PFS)for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment,prepared bauxite residue-based PAFC exhibited the optimal performance in the aspects of chromaticity and chemical oxygen demand(COD)removal rate.Furthermore,the combination of bauxite residue-based PAFC and PFS for synergy coagulation of such wastewater demonstrated an obvious positive effect.With the proportion between as-prepared PAFC and PFS to be 2.5:1,the COD of treated wastewater could be further reduced to meet the national level A standard of China,providing a promising route to solve the problem of substandard printing and dyeing sewage outfall by a simple coagulation strategy.

文摘Bauxite residue(BR),a by-product of the industrial production of alumina,has raised environmental concerns in the last decades,due to the presence of high amounts of alkali and various heavy metal ions.Limited studies on the application of abandoned BR with massive consumption have been reported.In this study,the possibility of the revegetation using ryegrass growing on BR was discussed mainly through the growth indications and transfer of heavy metal ions in BR and plants.In the pot trails,ryegrass was seeded on BR,de-alkali BR,with(DBRO)or without(DBR)organic fertilizer,respectively.The results indicated that the remediation of bauxite residue can be achieved through de-alkali with acid neutralization.Elemental analysis indicated that the elements,except for Fe,Mn and Pb,were stable in plant roots,and ryegrass could hardly absorb Cd.But,some heavy metals such as Cu enriched in plants,which should be noted in revegetation on bauxite residue.

文摘Sugarcane pulp residue （SPR）, a waste from sugar-refinery, which possesses a large surface area, can be used for removing chromium （Cr（Ⅲ） and Cr（Ⅵ）） from wastewater. In this work, the kinetics, isotherms of Cr（Ⅲ） and Cr（V[） adsorption and their removal by SPR were investigated. The results show that the removal percentages of Cr（Ⅵ） and Cr（Ⅲ） increase with increasing SPR dosage and temperature and decrease with increasing SPR particle size and the initial concentration of chromium ions. However, the influence of pH value on the Cr（Ⅵ） removal differs from that of the Cr（Ⅲ） removal. The Cr（Ⅵ） removal percentage decreases with increasing pH values, while the Cr（Ⅲ） removal percentage increases with increasing pH value. The adsorption kinetics of Cr（Ⅵ） and Cr（Ⅲ） well fits with pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm can well describe the adsorption phenomena of chromium ions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 0.567 mg/g for Cr（Ⅵ） and 3.446 mg/g for Cr（Ⅲ）. Moreover, SPR reveals higher adsorption capacity for Cr（Ⅲ） than that for Cr（Ⅵ）, which implies that SPR has more potential application for Cr（Ⅲ）-containing wastewater treatment than that for Cr（Ⅵ）-containing wastewater treatment.

文摘A safe,economical treatment of hazardous chromium-bearing vanadate residue(CVR)will significantly benefit the clean production of chromate-bearing salts.This study investigated recovery of sodium vanadate and sodium chromate from CVR in sodium bicarbonate solution.Results indicate that the stability of calcium vanadate and calcium chromate depends on pH and[HCO3?].CaV2O6?4H2O transforms into CaV2O6?4H2O,CaV2O6?2H2O,CaV2O6,Ca2V2O7?2H2O,and Ca5(VO4)3(OH)when pH increases from 7.51 to 12.32.Increasing pH and reducing CVR dosage improve the vanadate extraction rate,and high V2O5 and Na2Cr2O7?2H2O extraction rates are achieved in dilute NaHCO3 solution.Moreover,addition of NaOH positively contributes to the recovery of vanadate and chromate from CVR.Over 95%V2O5 and Na2Cr2O7?2H2O in CVR can be extracted from 60 g/L NaHCO3 and 30 g/L NaOH solutions at 90°C for 2 h.In order to reduce the hazardous residue containing chromate after recovery of CVR,calcium circulation is presented.Results show that more than 60%lime can be saved with fresh residue addition to remove vanadate from sodium chromate solution due to the active CaCO3.Moreover,no lime is required in removal of vanadate when the roasting residue is added.Therefore,a novel process is developed for utilization of CVR.
文摘A method of recovering indium from complex smelting residue containing indium was investiga ted. Indium was extracted by technique of low acid leaching and solvent extraction. The conditions of separating iron and indium were studied and the optimal conditions were determined. When the residue is two class countercurrent leached with 2 mol/L H 2SO 4 and 30 40 g/L NaCl at 100 ℃, the leaching rate of indium is 80%. The extraction rate of indium is over 98% and that of iron is less than 5% after it is third class countercurrent extracted by P204, and when sulfonated kerosene is used as solvent, acidity in aqueous phase remains the same as that of leaching liquid, and phase is for 1∶3. Using 2 mol/L HCl as back extraction agent, with phase ratio being 5∶1, by third class countercurrent back extraction, the back extraction rate of indium is over 99%, but that of iron is very low, which can meet the need of separating indium and iron.

文摘A batch experiment was conducted to investigate the adsorption of trivalent chromium （Cr（Ⅲ）） from aqueous solutions by sugarcane pulp residue （SPR） and biochar. The results show that Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption by SPR and biochar is highly pH-dependent and Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption amount increases with the increase of pH. The adsorption kinetics of Cr（Ⅲ） fits well with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption capacities of 15.85 mg/g and 3.43 mg/g for biochar and SPR were calculated by Langmuir model. This indicates that biochar has a larger ability for Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption than SPR. The free energy change value （AG） reveals a spontaneous sorption process of Cr（Ⅲ） onto SPR and non-spontaneous sorption process onto biochar. The entropy change （AS） and enthalpy change （AH） are found to be 66.27 J/（mol＇K） and 17.13 kJ/mol for SPR and 91.59 J/（mol-K） and 30.875 kJ/mol for biochar which further reflect an affinity of Cr（Ⅲ） onto SPR and biochar. It is suggested that biochar has potential to be an efficient adsorbent in the removal of Cr（Ⅲ） from industrial wastewater.

文摘Electrolytic manganese residue(EMR), a high volume byproduct resulting from the electrolytic manganese industry, was used as a cheap and abundant chemical source for preparing MnO2 and EMR-made calcium silicate hydrate(EMR-CSH). The MnO2 is successfully synthesized from the metal cations extracted from EMR, which can effectively recycle the manganese in the EMR. By the combination of XRD, SEM and EDX analysis, the as-prepared MnO2 is found to exhibit a single-phase with the purity of 90.3%. Furthermore, EMR-CSH is synthesized from EMR via hydrothermal method. Based on the detailed analyses using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX and BET surface area measurement, the product synthesized under the optimum conditions(p H 12.0 and 100 °C) is identified to be a calcium silicate hydrate with a specific surface area of 205 m2/g incorporating the slag-derived metals(Al and Mg) in its structure. The as-synthesized material shows good adsorption properties for removal of Mn2+ and phosphate ions diluted in water, making it a promising candidate for efficient bulk wastewater treatment. This conversion process, which enables us to fabricate two different kinds of valuable materials from EMR at low cost and through convenient preparation steps, is surely beneficial from the viewpoint of the chemical and economical use of EMR.

文摘The residue curve maps are considered as a powerful tool for the preliminary design of reactive distillation. The residue curve maps of ethyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the pseudo-homogeneous rate-based kinetic model and the NRTL activity coefficient model. The results show that the unstable node branch emerges from the ethyl acetate/water edge, moving toward the chemical equilibrium surface with the increase of Damkoeler value （D）, and the node reaches the ternary reactive azeotrope when D-∞ eventually. Conceptual design for the ethyl acetate synthesis of reactive distillation based on the residue curve maps is presented at last.
