Many organic and inorganic adsorbents can be recommended for the adsorption of heavy metal ions and radionuclides from aqueous solutions, or as carriers for storage and disposal of radioactive waste. Since radionuclides are sources of ionizing radiation, the radiation resistance of the adsorbent is an important characteristic. These studies aim to investigate the titanium silicate behavior and its adsorption properties' changes or their invariability in the field of intense β-radiation. Experimental techniques describe the synthesis of titanium silicate adsorbent by sol-gel method and the study of its adsorption capacity toward Ba2+ cations. The adsorption of Ba2+ cations was investigated under batch conditions with neutral pH of the solution. Initial and residual concentrations of Ba2+ cations were controlled by direct complexometric titration with Na-EDTA with Eriochrom Black T as an indicator. The study of the radiation resistance of the adsorbent to high-energy β-radiation was performed using a 90Sr-90Y β- - source “Sirius” installed in the Microtron Laboratory of the Uzhhorod National University. The distance from the source to the adsorbent samples was 20 cm. The flux of electrons at this distance was 108 el/cm2‧per second. The maximum energy of beta particles was 0.456 MeV for 90Sr and 2.28 MeV for 90Y. The maximum duration of exposure was 21 days, which corresponds to 1310 Gy. Raman spectroscopy of irradiated and nonirradiated samples of TiSi was performed using a Raman spectrometer XploRA PLUS installed in the Center for Collective Use of Scientific Equipment “Laboratory of Experimental and Applied Physics” of Uzhhorod National University. Results consist of kinetic of Ba2+ adsorption by titanium silicate and irradiated titanium silicate; isotherm of Ba2+ adsorption and Raman spectrum of nonirradiated, irradiated titanium silicate (TiSi) and TiSi after Ba2+ adsorption. Results showed that the value of the maximal adsorption was 140.5±9.2 mg/g (6.55 %) under a confidence level of 95 %. The adsorption values of barium ions by irradiated and non-irradiated titanium silicate coincide. This indicates that the adsorption properties of this adsorbent do not change under the influence of such a radiation dose. The Raman spectra of irradiated and non-irradiated titanium silicate coincide, while they do not identify free radicals, or ionic formations, which would indicate a change in the properties of the adsorbent under the influence of beta radiation. It can be argued that this adsorbent is radiation-resistant to beta-radioactivity, with a radiation dose of 1310 Gy. The main conclusion of the present work is that the studied sample of titanium silicate is radiation-resistant. It can withstand a radiation dose of 1310 Gy without changing its adsorption properties. Titanium silicate can be used for the adsorption of strontium radionuclides, ","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"21 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140364512","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 main problem of such composites related to the hydrophilicity of plant fibres may be successfully solved by chemical modification of their surface. However, some characteristics of the materials may be suppressed after this procedure. Therefore, the aim of the research is to find out the impact of chemical modification of filler on thermooxidative stability, tensile and flexural strength, as well as on biodegradability of polymer composites. The novelty of this work is in the examining new materials on the basis of Si-containing epoxyurethanes and chemically treated hemp woody core (HWC). Woody core that is the side product of hemp industry requiring its apropriate utilization was exposed to mercerization with sodium hydroxide solution and to further functionalization with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) or 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS). Raw and surface treated HWC was used as reinforcement for two types of organic-inorganic epoxyurethane matrices made from sodium silicate, polyurethane prepolymer based on polyisocyanate and castor oil, and either diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) or ESO as epoxy component. Functionalization of HWC led to better mechanical properties of composites. Compared to the corresponding materials including untreated filler, maximum increase in flexural strength (26 %) was observed for the samples with ESO-containing epoxyurethane and silanized HWC, while maximum increase in tensile strength (53 %) was revealed for the ones with DGEBA-containing epoxyurethane and oil treated HWC. Thermooxidative stability was also higher for composites reinforced with functionalized HWC. The specimens with APS-treated HWC performed the best at thermal decomposition. The values of their T50% were up to 68 °C more than those for composites with unmodified filler. At the same time, the samples based on APS- or ESO-treated HWC were the most resistant to biodegradation, which may be concluded from their smallest weight loss during soil burial test.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140361631","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}

It is shown that the MnNaW/SiO2 catalyst consists of Mn2O3, MnO2, Na2WO4 and SiO2 phases. The EMR and SEM/EDS data indicate a noticeable effect of the reaction conditions on the surface structure and the distribution of catalytically active components in the catalyst structure. Significant changes in the values of the specific surface area and pore volume of the samples with increasing temperature and duration of the reaction were found (the values of the specific surface area and pore volume, respectively, 116.8 m2/g and 0.590 cm3/g - up to and 46.1 m2/g and 0.232 cm3/g after 15 hours of catalyst operation in the OCM reaction at 800 °C). It has been shown that under the conditions of the OCM reaction, the elemental composition of the surface of the MnOx-Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst changes, and the degree of change depends on the duration of the OCM reaction. Under the influence of the reaction mixture CH4/O2, the content of Mn and W decreases in the first two hours, and the trend towards a decrease in their amount on the catalyst surface with an increase in the duration of the OCM reaction is generally preserved. A detailed X-ray phase analysis also indicates a change in the phase composition of this catalyst under the influence of the CH4/O2 reaction mixture.

The main anthropogenic sources of pollution are: transport, industrial enterprises, energy facilities and agriculture. In order to select a rational and effective method of atmospheric emissions purification from harmful components, systematic study was carried out to identify the potential of natural zeolites of Georgia. In particular, four samples of zeolite-containing rocks were investigated: analcime, clinoptilolite, phillipsite, mordenite and their modified forms. By means of the chromatographic method of researching the adsorption properties of natural zeolites, the best adsorption capability of mordenite and its modified hydrogen form obtained by two methods towards nitrogen oxides has been revealed. The perspective and profitability of using the hydrogen form of mordenite treated with ammonium in the processes of purification of nitrous gases from exhaust gases is shown, as well as the possibility of using the recovered products (aqueous solutions of ammonium salts) obtained from its regeneration as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. The experimental adsorption purification of the sample (H-mordenite) was carried out in the process of research. The sample was taken from the outlet pipe of the contact apparatus in the ammonia oxidation shop of the nitric acid production enterprise of LLC “Rustavi Azoti”. It has been found that the modified mordenites can be proposed as an environmentally friendly, highly efficient sorbent in the processes of air purification from toxic impurities. Of the two forms of H-mordenite investigated, the adsorption data obtained for NH4+-ion-modified mordenite is approximately 20 % better than the acid-modified form. It should be noted that the use of granulated zeolites (mordenite) in adsorbers with dense packing is very effective. It is also important from the economic point of view that it is possible to reuse spent high-silica sorbents after their regeneration by oxidation method, since such zeolites are resistant to oxidants, such as hydroxyl radicals, ozone, etc., and it is possible to regenerate them without removing them from adsorber.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"38 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362113","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}

As it follow from the data of XRF analysis, SiO2 and Al2O3 oxides found to be the major components in all samples investigated (~ 54–84 wt. %). As was determined by SEM studies, geopolymers consisted from nanosized particles, amorphous geopolymers binder and unreacted kaolin. It has been found that all samples involve the mesopores with approx. 1–40 nm radii. The greatest specific surface area calculated by the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method had the sample obtained in the forms of spherical rods (SBET = 88 m2/g) that about 10 times greater than for initial kaolin taken for synthesis. The ion exchange capacities of materials in the process of Cu2+, Cs+ and Sr2+ removal from water solution were determined and it was found that these properties depends on the method of materials obtaining. Data showed that the geopolymers were more effective for removal the desired ions than initial kaolin. The greatest adsorption capacity towards cesium ions was received on the samples obtained in forms of pyramids and was reached 1.75 mmol/g.

These effluents are serious environmental threats, so new methods for their treatment and the degradation of azo dyes are attracting much attention. Composite materials based on TiO2 modified by noble metals and nanoceria show high activity in the photodegradation of organic contaminates and are proposed for hydrogen synthesis as well. To optimize the treatment of contaminants, different processes can combine including the strategies of adsorption, photoluminescence, photocatalysis, etc. The synthesized TiO2-based nanomaterials (sols, powders) will be exploited for bioremediation due to their small size and surface plasmon resonance from noble metals. Binary nanocomposites based on TiO2 were obtained by the chemical co-precipitation method from solutions of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and inorganic salts of cerium, silver, and palladium. It has been stated that TiO2 is represented by anatase with primary particle size (CSR) from 8.5 to 16.8 nm, depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant. It is shown that Ag is reduced on the surface of anatase particles and blocks their growth, while Pd and Ce penetrate the titanium dioxide matrix in the form of small clusters with the deformation of the anatase crystal lattice. Nanocomposite particles formed loose and fragile aggregates, which spontaneously dispersed in solutions of dyes with the formation of colloid-stable sols, required the use of a centrifugal field for their sedimentation. Nanoparticles of TiO2&Pd were electronegative and others were electropositive according to the values 4.1÷9.6 of ZPC (zero point of charge). It was shown that the particles of all composites sorbed Methylene Blue (MB) without photocatalytic activity under the visible light to any dye. Moreover, anionic dyes such as Orange-G (Or-G) and Methyl Orange (MO) were excellently discolorated in the presence of TiO2&Pd system; cationic dyes of MB and Rhodamine B (RhB) discolorated too with the TiO2, TiO2&CeO2, and TiO2&Ag systems under UV light action.

Colloids of silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of AgNO3 silver salt with sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH4) in an aqueous solution. Quercetin is a flavonoid of plant origin. It was chosen to stabilize nanoparticles due to its capability to form complexes with metals. The quercetin shell is capable to preserve the bactericidal effect of silver NPs on bacteria and weaken their toxic effect on healthy cells of the human body. The absorption spectra of solutions from which nanoparticle colloids were synthesized were used to control the synthesis result. The Luria-Bertani nutrient medium was studied in the work. Absorption spectra of the nutrient medium and nanoparticle colloids were again obtained immediately before mixing. Then, the nutrient medium and the nanoparticle colloid were mixed in volume proportion 1:1, and the absorption spectrum of the mixture was mesured. The absorption spectrum of the mixture did not reproduce a simple overlay of the nanoparticle colloid spectrum on the absorption spectrum of the nutrient medium. To describe the experimental spectra, a colloid of stabilized silver nanoparticles, a nutrient medium, and a mixture of a colloid and a nutrient medium were considered by nanocomposites of various organic and inorganic nanoparticles in a liquid. As a result, experimental absorption spectra were theoretically approximated by related to these nanoparticles elementary oscillators. The error of the discrepancy between experimental and simulated spectra did not exceed 3%. Analysis of the complex spectra of the mixture of the nanoparticle colloid and the nutrient medium has shown that the frequency of the localized plasmon resonance in the nanoparticles most likely does not change.

Air-dry switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a technical culture, was used for the research. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was obtained from it by the method of organo-solvent cooking with the addition of a solid catalyst. Using the methods of XRD, FTIR-ATR, AFM, TGA and DSC, the structure and morphology of MCC were studied. It is found that the use of ion-exchange resins in the organo-solvent method of obtaining MCC in a batch reactor requires the use of protective covers for the catalyst to avoid its mechanical damage. It has been found that only sulfonated copolymers based on tetrafluoroethylene are stable in the cooking solution, in contrast to sulfonated copolymers of styrene and divinylbenzene, and allow obtaining MCC from millet with a yield of 53 % versus 40 % for the classical method and a degree of polymerization of 440 versus 578, respectively. Due to the destruction of amorphous binders in the MCC’s from switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), regardless of the conditions of its production, we observe further ordering of the structure of the obtained MCC which is expressed in narrower and more intense peaks in the range 2θ = 22–23°.

However, the use of certain mixtures may prevent these negative effects due to the colligative properties of the solutions (cryscopic effects, CE) that lead to several effects including relative lowering of vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, and freezing point depression (FPD). Confined space effects (CSE) also leading to the freezing point depression can affect the colligative properties of liquid mixtures with respect to FPD. One could assume that for some systems with certain FPD due to CE for bulk solutions, there is no additivity (synergetic effect) of CSE and CE, but for others, the opposite results could be. To elucidate these interfacial phenomena, a set of liquid mixtures bound to different adsorbents could be studied using low-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The solutions included acids, bases, and salts as solutes, some liquids (e.g., dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, n-decane) as co-sorbates and others (e.g., CDCl3, CCl4) as dispersion media. The adsorbents included various porous and highly disperse silicas, fumed alumina, carbons (activated carbons, graphene oxides), and porous polymers.
