Selenium (VI) removal by volcanic ash material characterized by X-ray absorption spectroscopy
This study investigates the potential use of volcanic ash (VA) material from Mount Cameroon as an adsorbent for the removal of selenium (VI) from contaminated solutions. Selenium-sorbed materials were synthesized via a batch adsorption method, and the resulting samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The results suggest that Se-sorbed VA material can adopt the local structure of CaSeO₃ and its chemical composition was associated with CaSeO₃, Na₂SeO₃, and Na₂SeO₄. The adsorption mechanisms were related to ion exchange, adsorption, and chemical reduction. Langmuir model was found to be suitable for the adsorption data indicating that the surface of VA adsorbent presents monolayer and homogeneous actives sites. XAS technique could be applied to track changes in oxidation state, resolve the adsorption mechanism, and identify the chemical species and local structure of the sorbed element in the adsorbent material.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
