The adsorption properties of coexistent Cr(VI) and Cu(II) in mixed solution on magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle were studied in batch experiments. The influences of various factors, such as pH, adsorbent dose, temperature, initial concentration of metal ions, and coexisting ions in water were investigated. At the same time, the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were studied. The mechanism of adsorption for Cr(VI) and Cu(II) was investigated through the study of surface properties of Fe3O4, the presence of ions, and the influence of pH and zeta potential. The results indicate that pH has an influence on adsorption for Cr(VI) and Cu(II), and the optimal pH value for Cr(VI) and Cu(II) adsorption is 4.0. The adsorption efficiency increased with the increase of the adsorbent dose. Temperature under experimental design had no obvious effect. With 2.0 g/dm3 Fe3O4, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) and Cu(II) reached 8.67 mg/g and 18.61 mg/g in mixed solution of 80 mg/dm3 Cr(VI) and Cu(II), respectively. Phosphorus had some influence on the adsorption for Cr(VI), and other coexisting anions and cations had no influence on the adsorption for Cr(VI) and Cu(II). The adsorption data for Cr(VI) and Cu(II) were nicely fit to the Langmuir adsorption equation and the pseudo-second-order model. As a multifunctional material, nano-Fe3O4 exhibited good adsorption performance for coexistent Cr(VI) and Cu(II) and could easily be separated and recovered under magnetic field.

Oily wastewater from shipping waste and marine accidents have seriously polluted the marine environment and brought great harm to human production and health. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the treatment of marine oily wastewater has attracted extensive attention from the international community. Marine oily wastewater has various forms and complex components, so its treatment technology faces great challenges. Sources, types, supervision, and treatment of marine oily wastewater are introduced in this paper. The research progress of marine and ship’s oily wastewater treatment technologies in recent years are reviewed from the perspectives of physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological treatment, and combined treatment, respectively. Principles and characteristics of all kinds of technologies were analyzed. In addition, this paper shows that multiple processing technologies used in combination for the purpose of high efficiency, environmental protection, economy, and energy conservation are the future development trend.
