Although arsenic adsorption/desorption behavior on aluminum and iron (oxyhydr)oxides has been extensively studied, little is known about arsenic adsorption/desorption behavior by bimetal Al:Fe hydroxides. In this study, influence of the Al:Fe molar ratio, pH, and counterion (Ca2+ versus Na+) on arsenic adsorption/desorption by preformed coprecipitated Al:Fe hydroxides was investigated. Adsorbents were formed by initial hydrolysis of mixed Al3+/ Fe3+ salts to form coprecipitated Al:Fe hydroxide products. At Al:Fe molar ratios < or = 1:4, Al3+ was largely incorporated into the iron hydroxide structure to form a poorly crystalline bimetal hydroxide; however, at higher Al:Fe molar ratios, crystalline aluminum hydroxides (bayerite and gibbsite) were formed. Although approximately equal As(V) adsorption maxima were observed for 0:1 and 1:4 Al:Fe hydroxides, the As(III) adsorption maximum was greater with the 0:1 Al: Fe hydroxide. As(V) and As(III) adsorption decreased with further increases in Al:Fe molar ratio. As(V) exhibited strong affinity to 0:1 and 1:4 Al:Fe hydroxides at pH 3-6. Adsorption decreased at pH > 6.5; however, the presence of Ca2+ compared to Na+ as the counterion enhanced As( retention by both hydroxides. There was more As(V) and especially As(III) desorption by phosphate with an increase in Al:Fe molar ratio.

Arsenate [As(V)] pollution is a challenge for water treatment, and the effect of coexisting microplastics (MPs) on As(V) removal is still not clear. In this study, series novel covalently bonded organic silicon-aluminum/iron composite coagulants (CSA/F) with different Al/Fe molar ratios were prepared for enhancing As(V) removal. The effect mechanism of MPs (PS MPs and PS-COOH MPs) on As(V) removal by using CSAF coagulation was analyzed.

Aiming at the current lack of thermodynamic parameters related to the preparation of aluminum-silicon-iron alloys from spent refractory materials in aluminum electrolytic cells, the Miedema model was used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of Al-Si, Al-Fe, and Si-Fe binary alloys. On this basis, the Toop model was combined to calculate the mixing enthalpy Δ, excess entropy , excess Gibbs free energy , and component activity α of Al-Si-Fe ternary alloys. The results show that Δ, , and of binary alloys are all negative values.

The present work studied the influence of the calcination temperature on the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol with generated hydrogen over a Ni/AlFe catalyst. The Ni/AlFe catalyst was synthesized by the co-precipitation method at 28 mol% of Ni (Ni/(Ni + Al + Fe)) and a molar ratio of Al/Fe of 3/1. The prepared catalyst was calcined at different temperatures (500-750 °C).
