Comparative assessment of formation pathways and adsorption behavior reveals the role of NaOH of MgO-modified diatomite on phosphate recovery.

The phosphate adsorption behavior on MgO-modified diatomite has been routinely investigated. Batch experiments tend to show that the addition of NaOH during preparation largely promoted adsorption performance, but comparative studies of MgO-modified diatomite with and without NaOH (MODH and MOD) based on morphology, composition, functional groups, isoelectric points and adsorption behavior have not been reported. We demonstrated that NaOH can etch the structure of MODH and promote the migration of phosphate to active sites, which allowed MODH to have a faster adsorption rate, superior environmental adaptability, adsorption selectivity and regeneration performance.

Biomass chemical looping gasification for syngas production using modified hematite as oxygen carriers.

J Environ Sci (China)

School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China. Electronic address:

Syngas is a clean energy carrier and a major industrial feedstock. In this paper, syngas was produced via biomass chemical looping gasification (CLG) process. Hematite, the most common Fe-based oxygen carrier (OC), was modified with different metal oxides (CeO, CaO and MgO) by the impregnation method.

MgO coated magnetic FeO@SiO nanoparticles with fast and efficient phosphorus removal performance and excellent pH stability.

Chemosphere

Key Laboratory of Industrial Ecology and Environmental Engineering (Ministry of Education, China), School of Environmental Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, 116024, PR China.

A regenerable MgO-coated magnetic FeO@SiO (FSM) composite effectively avoided the agglomeration of nano-MgO, which was resoundingly used for efficient and rapid phosphorus removal from aqueous solutions. Based on an initial screening of synthesized FSM with different Mg/citric acid molar ratios in terms of phosphorus adsorption capacity, an FSM composite with a Mg-citric acid molar ratio of 1:1 (FSM-1:1) was determined as the optimal choice. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the prepared FeO was triumphantly loaded and the nano-MgO nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the surface of magnetic mesoporous silica.

Mg-Al mixed metal oxides (MMOs), derived from the decomposition of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), have been purposed as adsorbents for CO capture of industrial plant emissions. To aid in the design and optimization of these materials for CO capture at 200 °C, we have used a combination of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and density functional theory (DFT) to characterize the CO gas sorption products and determine the various sorption sites in Mg-Al MMOs. A comparison of the DFT cluster calculations with the observed C chemical shifts of the chemisorbed products indicates that mono- and bidentate carbonates are formed at the Mg-O sites with adjacent Al substitution of an Mg atom, while the bicarbonates are formed at Mg-OH sites without adjacent Al substitution.
