In this study, newly effective inhibition method in both neutral and alkaline region for fluoride elution was investigated. Fluoride elution concentration from CaF2 was 9.8 mg/L at pH 8.1 and 288.5 mg/L at pH 12.2 with water/solid ratio of 10. Additions of Ca(OH)2, CaCl2 and NH4H2PO4 could restrain fluoride elution concentration of CaF2 to 0.22 mg/L in the neutral region. This inhibition of fluoride elution was due to a generation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) or chlorapatite (ClAp) which has high ion exchange capacity. Additions of Portland cement, Ca(OH)2 and MgCl2 could restrain fluoride elution concentration of CaF2 to 0.47 mg/L in alkaline region. It was only 0.16% of 288.5mg/L which was the fluoride elution concentration from CaF2 at pH 12.2. The elution of fluoride ions was restrained by the coprecipitating of CaF2 with the high content of Ca 2+ provided from Ca(OH)2 and cement hydrates. The carbonation of Ca 2+ was prevented by the addition of Mg. Moreover, the forming of ettringite with a high ion-exchange capacity and the solidification effect of Ca-bearing hydrates contributed to the inhibition of the elution of fluoride. These additives for the practical industrial wastes, such as paper sludge and coal ash, with high concentration of fluoride were conducted. The result indicates that the fluoride elution could be restrained to meet the environmental standard (0.8 mg/L) in Japan in alkaline region. This inhibition method for fluoride elution would be able to contribute to promotion of recycling of fluoride industrial wastes.","PeriodicalId":16331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ion exchange","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82665530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pH value of the aqueous phase was measured using a pH meter equipped with glass electrodes. Over 70% of all the metal ions were adsorbed on non-treated banana fiber at pH values ranging from 2.0 to 6.0. On the other hand, using alkali-treated banana fiber, the adsorption ratio for rare-earth metal ions increased with pH. The reaction equation for the alkali-treated banana fiber system was investigated by the slope analysis between logarithmic distribution ratio and pH. The results suggest that not only the hydroxy groups originated from the interaction between cellulose and metal ions but also other negative ions might be involved in the ionexchange reaction in the alkali-treated banana fiber. Such distinct behavior raises the possibility of the utilization of banana fibers in the separation and adsorption of metal ions.","PeriodicalId":16331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ion exchange","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85618111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, rapid and simple methods for bacteria detection have been attracting much attention in this research area. Recently, we developed dipicolylamine (dpa)-modified fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSiNP) for bacteria detection. In this study, we prepared two FSiNPs (Bt/dpa-HCC/FSiNP and B/FSiNP) whose surfaces were modified with dipicolylamine or phenyl boronic acid. Cu-Bt/dpa-HCC/FSiNP formed aggregates with both S. aureus and E. coli, whereas B/FSiNP formed aggregates with S. aureus selectively.

N,N,N’,N’,N’’,N’’-hexaoctylnitrilotriacetamide (HONTA) extractant has been shown to be promising for selective Sc extraction. In this study, applicability of the extraction chromatography technology using HONTA impregnated adsorbent for the selective Sc recovery from other rare earth elements (REs) was experimentally evaluated through batch-wise adsorption/elution studies and column separation experiments. Batch-wise experiments showed that distribution coefficient of Sc onto the HONTA/SiO2-P adsorbent was far larger than those of other REs at acidity region with 0.001 < [HNO3] < 4 mol dm -3 and that the adsorbed Sc was efficiently eluted into 1 M H2SO4 solution. Appropriate experimental conditions for the column separation experiment were proposed based on those results, and performance of the flow-sheet was examined for laboratory scale column system. Only Sc in 4 mol dm HNO3 solution was adsorbed into a packed column with the adsorbent while other REs were discharged from the column with the feed solution, and then loaded Sc was properly eluted into 1 M H2SO4 solution. Purity of the Sc product solution obtained by the column separation experiment depended on Sc recovery ratio, and about 99.9 % purity was achieved with 97 % recovery ratio. The residual Sc was eluted from the column with other REs and did not remain inside the column, therefore repeated used of the column was shown to be possible. This process was shown to be promising for selective Sc recovery from mixture of REs in nitric acid.","PeriodicalId":16331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ion exchange","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84235803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phosphorus adsorption amount of the product was about 2.5 times larger than that of the raw zircon sand. The adsorption amount of phosphorus increased with decreasing the pH value at the equilibrium, and was about 3.5 times larger at pH 1 than at pH 7. The product showed the same adsorption amount in Imari bay seawater as that in the aqueous solution at pH 7, which means that phosphorus can be selectively adsorbed on the product in the solution with high salt concentration.
