“…The rapid mass loss in this stage could be connected with the degradation of CTAB molecules on the La@D surface. 41,46 The mass loss in the third stage (475−600 °C) is attributed to the degradation of CTAB molecules between the Laponite layers. Thus, the TG analysis implies that CTAB not only exchanges interlayer cations with Laponite but also modifies the outer surface of La@D.…”

This work aims to enhance the adsorption performance of Laponite @diatomite for organic pollutants by modifying it with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The microstructure and morphology of the CTAB-modified Laponite @ diatomite material were characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, and TG. Furthermore, the influences of key parameters, containing pH, adsorbent dosage, reaction time, and reaction temperature, on the adsorption process were investigated. The kinetics, thermodynamics, and isotherm models of the adsorption process were analyzed. Finally, potential adsorption mechanisms were given based on the characterization. The research findings indicate that CTAB-La@D exhibits good adsorption performance toward Congo red (CR) over a broad pH range. The maximum adsorption capacity of CR was 451.1 mg/g under the optimum conditions (dosage = 10 mg, contact time = 240 min, initial CR concentration = 100 mg/L, temperature = 25 °C, and pH = 7). The adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherms indicated that the adsorption process of CR was more in line with the Langmuir model, and it was physical adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis illustrates that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneous. Additionally, the mechanisms of electrostatic adsorption and hydrophobic effect adsorption of CR were investigated through XPS and FTIR analysis. This work provides an effective pathway for designing high-performance adsorbents for the removal of organic dye, and the synthesized materials hold great capability for practical utilization in the treatment of wastewater.

“…According to Figure 4c, it is not difficult to see that PAA is present in molecular form at pHs less than 6. In the range of pH = 2-11, C 6 H 6 AsO 3 − is generated due to the loss of one proton, and in the range of pH = 5-8, the content of C 6 H 6 AsO 3 − would be close to 100% [43]. C 6 H 5 AsO 3 2− is formed by the loss of two protons when the pH greater is than 6, which may mean that when the pH is higher than the isoelectric point of ferrihydrite, deprotonation will occur on its surface and it will have a negative charge.…”

In this study, three kinds of iron minerals, ferrihydrite, hematite, and goethite, were prepared by a simple coprecipitation method for the adsorption and removal of phenylarsonic acid (PAA). The adsorption of PAA was explored, and the influences of ambient temperature, pH, and co-existing anions on adsorption were evaluated. The experimental results show that rapid adsorption of PAA occurs within 180 min in the presence of iron minerals, and the adsorption process conforms to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The isothermal adsorption of PAA by ferrihydrite, goethite, and hematite agrees with the Redlich–Peterson model. The maximum adsorption capacities of PAA are 63.44 mg/g, 19.03 mg/g, and 26.27 mg/g for ferrihydrite, goethite, and hematite, respectively. Environmental factor experiments illustrated that an alkaline environment will significantly inhibit the adsorption of PAA by iron minerals. CO32−, SiO32−, and PO43− in the environment will also significantly reduce the adsorption performance of the three iron minerals. The adsorption mechanism was analyzed by FTIR and XPS, which indicated that ligand exchange between the surface hydroxyl group and the arsine group leads to the formation of an Fe-O-As bond, and electrostatic attraction between the iron minerals and PAA played an important role in the adsorption.
