In this study, Fe-BDC/Fe-2MI composites were synthesized by one-pot solvothermal method. By studying the adsorption performance of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater, it was confi rmed that Fe-BDC/Fe-2MI has excellent adsorption properties. When the initial molar ratio of FeCl3 .6H2O: H2BDC: 2-MI is 1:1.5:10, the adsorbent has the best adsorption performance. At the same time, the effects of different pH (2-10), temperature (303-323K) and initial concentration of adsorbate (30-90mg/L) on the adsorption capacity were further explored. It was found that when pH=6.0, T=303K was favorable for Fe-BDC/Fe-2MI to adsorb MB. The adsorption process conformed to the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model, indicating that it was a monolayer adsorption which was a good adsorption process. Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is a spontaneous exothermic reaction. These results demonstrated that Fe-BDC/Fe-2MI composites possess potential practical application value.","PeriodicalId":9884,"journal":{"name":"Chiang Mai Journal of Science","volume":"284 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77133066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the few decades, the removal of H2S has become a signifi cant problem. In the fi eld of a clean environment such as water purifi cation and toxic gas removal, graphene oxide (GO) has been found to have advantages. In this study, the infl uence of GO on alumina (Al2O3) as an adsorbent of H2S was examined. A series of Al2O3/GO (AGO) composites with varying graphene oxide addition (0.5–3.0 wt%) were prepared using the high-temperature sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate the primary phase of Al2O3 with hexagonal crystal structure for all AGO composites. Raman spectrometry measurements confi rmed that the GO particles were incorporated in AGO composites. The TEM image indicated that GO nanosheets were embedded between Al2O3 grains. The effi ciency of AGO adsorbent at ambient temperature was investigated and compared with the pristine Al2O3 adsorbent. The AGO composites adsorbent demonstrated the H2S breakthrough capacity in the range of 0.07–0.43 mg/g, which is higher than that of pristine Al2O3 (0.06 mg/g). Furthermore, the highest H2S breakthrough capacity of 0.43 mg/g was obtained from AGO containing 3.0 wt% GO. This investigation demonstrates that the AGO adsorbent fabricated using a simple method has the potential to be used for H2S removal at ambient temperature.","PeriodicalId":9884,"journal":{"name":"Chiang Mai Journal of Science","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79739670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of pregelatinized starch (P-St) content on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) fi lms were examined. PVOH and P-St blend were compounded by twin- screw extruder with various P-St content of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% by weight with fi xed glycerol content of 20 phr. The blend fi lms were produced by blown fi lm extrusion. The chemical structure, thermal properties, water-solubility, mechanical properties, and the cross-sections morphological properties of PVOH/G/P-St were characterized. As a result, the formation of intermolecular interactions between PVOH, glycerol and P-St was confi rmed by FTIR. Moreover, the addition of P-St on PVOH could reduce the thermal stability due to the content of P-St with amylose, a substance of amorphous structure, affecting the chains fl exibility of PVOH/G/P-St. From the differential scanning calorimeter result, the glass transition temperature was increased with the increment of P-St content because the chains entanglement between PVOH and P-St had affected the reduction in crystallinity and led to the decrement of the melting temperature. Furthermore, the water solubility would strongly be dependent on the percentage of the gelatinized starch (%GS). The solubility decreased as the percentage of the GS increased. In addition, PVOH with 20% of P-St fi lm possessed the highest value in tensile strength and modulus, and the particles of P-St have a good distribution in PVOH/G indicating to stronger interaction of P-St and PVOH/G.","PeriodicalId":9884,"journal":{"name":"Chiang Mai Journal of Science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82063156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salacca zalacca seed activated carbon (SSAC) was chemically activated using H3PO4 and used as an adsorbent for chromium (VI) adsorption. The effect of various experimental parameters such as activation temperature, impregnation ratio, and H3PO4 concentration (%) on adsorption capacity was determined using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum condition prediction of these values from RSM alines well with experimental data; activation temperature (800 °C), impregnation ratio (3.50) and H3PO4 concentration (75 %). SSAC activated at the optimum condition were intensively characterized to understand the morphology, surface charge density, chemical composition and textural property by using SEM, pHpzc, FTIR, CHON analysis, and N2 adsorption- desorption. Maximum chromium (VI) adsorption was 7.94 mg/g. Langmuir adsorption model was effectively fi tted to the equilibrium adsorption information. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model also explains the experimental data well. Overall, the results suggested that RSM could optimize the preparation conditions of Salacca zalacca seed biochar, leading to enhancing the adsorption capacity of chromium (VI) using Salacca zalacca seed-activated carbon. Moreover, SSAC provides a excellent reusability for up to 6 cycles. This result ensures that SSAC has great potential as a low-cost, high-value agricultural waste adsorbent for chromium (VI) removal.","PeriodicalId":9884,"journal":{"name":"Chiang Mai Journal of Science","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86108790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thin film deposition result of three copper targets was mounted on each magnetron gun, providing a total of three magnetron guns. The thin fi lm was deposited on a glass slide at room temperature using a custom-built angular DC magnetron co-sputtering system. Analysis of variance for the response surface regression model of film thickness as a function of the three independent variables shows that substrate rotation speed, sputtering time, sputtering voltage, and coeffi cient of squared sputtering time are the most signifi cant factors in determining the optimum film thickness.

In recent years, pollution has become one of the most severe the environmental problems in that region, posing huge impact on the urban traffi c and threatening the public health greatly. Understanding the spatio-temporal variability and their mechanisms is important for the monitoring and control of regional air pollution. This study employed the Mann-Kendall test, statistical methods, geographical spatial analysis, aiming to explore the characteristics of air quality and its main controlling factors in this region. Temporal analysis was conducted in four largest cities to indicate the variation trend of air quality and identify the infl uence of meteorological factors, while spatial analysis was conducted based on all 13 cities of the region to clarify the socioeconomic controls on air quality. The results from trend analysis indicate an improving trend in air quality. Temperature, air pressure and wind speed are the main meteorological factors controlling air quality in the four large cities, which impose important infl uence on the migration, diffusion or settlement of pollutants. Agglomeration degree and distribution characteristics of AQI and six pollutants show great spatial heterogeneity, which is determined by topography, land-sea position, physicochemical properties of pollutants and socioeconomic factors. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicate that economic development benefi ts the improvement of air quality, while industrialization and traffi c construction aggravate air pollution. The air quality is less dependent on the level of urbanization. About 55 % of the spatial AQI changes can be explained by the socioeconomic factors, suggesting the leading contribution of human activities to air quality. This study will help deeply understand the main sources of air pollution in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and provides insights for urban planning and rational policy formulation that are conducive to air pollution control.","PeriodicalId":9884,"journal":{"name":"Chiang Mai Journal of Science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82722391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
