Adsorption and desorption properties of D151 resin for Ce(Ⅲ)

The present research is aimed at the development of D151 resin as an adsorbent that it can be used in the adsorption of Ce(Ⅲ) ions.The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Ce(Ⅲ) on D151 resin have been investigated by chemistry analysis.The influence of operational conditions such as contact time,initial concentration of Ce(Ⅲ),initial pH of solution and temperature on the adsorption of Ce(Ⅲ) had also been examined.The results show that the optimal adsorption condition of D151 for Ce(Ⅲ) was achieved at pH=6.50 in HAc-NaAc medium.The maximum uptake capacity of Ce(Ⅲ) was 392 mg/g resin at 298 K.The adsorption of Ce(Ⅲ) followed both the Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm,and the correlation coefficients had been evaluated.Even kinetics on the adsorption of Ce(Ⅲ) had been studied.The adsorption rate constant k298 K valued was 1.3×10-5 s-1.The calculation data of thermodynamic parameters which ΔS0 value of 91.34 and ΔH0 value of 7.07 kJ/mol indicate the endothermic nature of the adsorption process.While,a decrease of Gibb’s free energy(ΔG0) with increasing temperature indicated the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process.Finally,Ce(Ⅲ) could be eluted by using 0.5 mol/L HCl solution and the elution percentage was as high as 100%.Adsorption mechanism was also proposed for the adsorption of Ce(Ⅲ) ions onto D151 resin using infrared spectroscopy technique.     

LiZnPO4：Tb^3＋,Ce^3＋ green phosphors with high efficiency

Tb3+ and Ce3+ co-activated LiZnPO4 phosphors with high luminescence efficiency were synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction at 1000 oC for 3 h. The XRD patterns, photoluminescence spectra and SEM were recorded and the effects of Tb3+ and Ce3+ concentration, sintering condition on the luminescent properties of as-synthesized phosphors were investigated. The emission spectra under ultraviolet (200-300 nm) radiation showed a dominant peak at 543 nm attributed to the 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+, which was greatly en-hanced by the co-doping of Ce3+, indicating that there occurred an efficient non-radiative energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+. The optimal dop-ing concentrations of Tb3+ and Ce3+ were determined to be 9% and 10%, respectively.     

Synthesis of a novel Ce(Ⅲ)-incorporated cross-linked chitosan and its effective removal of fluoride from aqueous solution

A novel Ce(Ⅲ)-incorporated cross-linked chitosan(Ce-CCS) was prepared and used for the removal of fluoride from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of Ce-CCS were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analyzer(EDAX) techniques. The factors affecting the fluoride adsorption such as adsorbent dosage, initial fluoride concentration, pH, coexisting anions and contact time were investigated. Increasing adsorbent dosage enhanced the removal towards fluoride while increasing initial fluoride concentration reduced the removal towards fluoride. The optimal pH value for fluoride adsorption was 3 or so. The presence of coexisting anions weakened the adsorption of fluoride, and the decreasing order of the removal towards fluoride was PO_4~(3–)CO_3~(2–)SO_4~(2–)Cl~–. The adsorption data were described by Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The incorporation of Ce(Ⅲ) enhanced the adsorption capacity of CCS for fluoride ions, the adsorption capacity at equilibrium(q_e) of Ce-CCS increased by 5.0 mg/g or so as compared with the one of CCS at the same temperature tested. The exhausted Ce-CCS could regenerate with 0.1 mol/L HCl solution.     

A novel polystyrene-poly(hydroxamic acid) interpenetrating polymer network and its adsorption towards rare earth ions

A novel polystyrene-poly(hydroxamic acid)interpenetrating network resin(PS-PHA IPNs)was successfully synthesized by suspension polymerization and interpenetrating network technology.The effects of various experimental parameters,including pH,contact time and initial concentrations of rare earth ions on the adsorption capacity were discussed in detail.Under the condition of pH 4.0(La³⁺),1.0(Ce³⁺)and 3.0(Y³⁺),respectively,PS-PHA IPNs can reach equilibrium adsorption in 6 h and get maximum adsorption capacities(1.08,1.43 and 1.36 mmol/g).The adsorption process of PS-PHA IPNs for La(Ⅲ),Ce(Ⅲ)and Y(Ⅲ)ions can be described by liquid membrane diffusion,particle diffusion and chemical reaction.The adsorption process is a spontaneous and endothermic process and can be better simulated by Langmuir adsorption isotherm.The studies of SEM-EDS indicate that rare earth ions are adsorbed on the surface of PS-PHA IPNs.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis further prove that rare earth ions are chemisorbed on the surface of PS-PHA IPNs.These results reveal that the as-prepared PS-PHA IPNs is a promising adsorbent for adsorption of rare earth ions due to their higher adsorption capacity than other adsorbents.     

Study on the adsorption of lanthanum(Ⅲ) from aqueous solution by bamboo charcoal

The adsorption behaviors of La(Ⅲ) ion on bamboo charcoal were investigated with various chemical methods and IR spectrometry. Parameters studied include the effects of pH,average particle size,initial ion concentration,contact time and temperature by batch method. The results showed that bamboo charcoal could remove La(Ⅲ) ions effectively from aqueous solution. The loading of La(Ⅲ) ions was strongly dependent on pH of the medium and the optimal adsorption condition was in HNO3-TEA medium with pH value of 7.20. In the batch system,the modified bamboo charcoal exhibited the highest La(Ⅲ) ion uptake as 120 mg/g at 298 K,at an initial pH value of 7.20. The adsorption kinetics were tested with Lagergren-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption data were conformed to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms,and the correlation coefficients had been evaluated. Thermodynamic parameters such as free energy(ΔG) ,which were all negative,indicated that the adsorption of La(Ⅲ) ion onto bamboo charcoal was spontaneous and the positive value of enthalpy(ΔH) showed that the adsorption was endothermic in nature. Thomas model was applied to experimental column data to determine the characteristic parameters of column useful for process design. The characterization of both before and after adsorption of La(Ⅲ) ion on bamboo charcoal was undertaken using IR spectroscopic technique. The results revealed that bamboo charcoal was a good choice as a biosorbent for the recovery of lanthanum from aqueous solution.     

Adsorption of arsenate and arsenite from aqueous solutions by cerium-loaded cation exchange resin

The removal of arsenic from water and wastewater is obligatory.Resin is one of the most effective adsorbents for the removal of arsenic.In order to improve the adsorption capacity of resin,a new cerium-loaded cation exchange resin arsenic adsorbent was prepared by impregnating cerium into the cation exchange resin.Batch adsorption experiments under various conditions,such as time,temperature,pH and with coexisting ions were carried out to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of cerium-loaded resin in the removal of As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ) from aqueous solutions.The results showed that the adsorption kinetics of As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)obeyed a pseudo second-order kinetic model and the adsorption rate constants were 0.3159 and 0.5215 g·mg-1 ·min-1 ,respectively.The adsorption of As(Ⅴ)followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and the adsorption isotherm data for As(Ⅲ)fitted well to the Langmuir equation model.The adsorption capacities were 1.0278 mg/g for As(Ⅴ)and 2.5297 mg/g for As(Ⅲ).Both the adsorption of As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)were found to be pH sensitive and the optimum pH was found to be 5-6.Except for the phosphate ion,the coexisting anionics,such as nitrate,chlorate,sulphate and carbonate,showed no remarkable effect on As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)adsorption.The desorption and regeneration study showed that the adsorption capacity of Ce-loaded resin for As(Ⅴ)and As(Ⅲ)could be restored to 97.80%and 69.61%,respectively,using 0.5 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution.     

Effect of Sr and Ce on Synthesis of Nanometer Perovskite LaMnO3＋λ

Nanometer perovskite LaMnO3 λ, La0.6Ce0.4MnO3 λ and La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 λ were prepared by citric acid-aide dsol-gel method. The effects of Ce, Sr on the structure and properties of nanometer perovskite were studied through DTTGA, XRD, TEM and BET analyses. The results show that, by sol-gel method, LaMnO3 λ, La0.6Ce0.4MnO3 λ and La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 λ were made with average particle size of about 60, 100 and 30 nm, respectively. After partially substituting Sr on La positions in LaMnO3 λ, it is found that Sr is located at the perovskite lattice so as to reduce the formation temperature of the perovskite. As a result, the perovskite has a smaller particle size and larger specific surface area. On the contrary, it is difficult for Ce to enter the perovskite lattice. Ce exists mostly in the form of CeO2 as partially substituting La in LaMnO3 λ. The formation temperature of the perovskite increases, and the catalyst containing CeO2 presents a larger particle size and less specific surface area.     

Effects of La~（3＋） on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of primary mouse bone marrow stromal cells

In order to elucidate the action of La3+ on bone metabolism,effects of La3+ on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of pri-mary mouse bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) were studied by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) test,alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity measurement,mineralized function,oil red O stain and measurement.The results showed that La3+ pro-moted the proliferation of BMSCs except at 1×10-10 and 1×10-6 mol/L.The effect of La3+ on the osteogenic differentiation depended on con-centrations at the 7th day,but the osteogenic differentiation was inhibited at any concentration at the 14th day.La3+ promoted the formation of mineralized matrix nodules except at 1×10-8 and 1×10-5 mol/L.La3+ inhibited adipogenic differentiation except at 1×10-10 and 1×10-7 mol/L at the 10th day,and inhibited adipogenic differentiation except at 1×10-9 mol/L at the 16th day.These findings suggested that La3+ might have protective effect on bone at appropriate dose and time.This would be valuable for better understanding the mechanism of the effect of La3+ on bone metabolism.

Viscosities were measured for the ternary systems Y(NO3)3+La(NO3)3+H2O, La(NO3)3+Ce(NO3)3+H2O, and La(NO3)3+Nd(NO3)3+ H2O and their binary subsystems Y(NO3)3+H2O, La(NO3)3+H2O, Ce(NO3)3+H2O, and Nd(NO3)3+H2O at 293.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K. The results were used to test the applicability of simple equations for the viscosity of the mixed solutions. The predictions agreed well with measured values, implying that the viscosities of the examined electrolyte solutions could be related to those of their constituent binary solutions using these simple equations.     

Preparation and characterization of Er3＋-Yb3＋-Ce3＋ co-doped transparent glass ceramic containing nano Cas（PO4）3F crystals

A transparent glass ceramic tri-doped with Ce3+/Er3+/Yb3+ was fabricated by the high-temperature melting technique and following heat-treatment.X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope results demonstrated that Ca5(PO4)3F(FAP) nanocrystals,possessed with preferable emission performances for the 1.54 m transition for doping Er3+,were homogeneously precipitated among the glass matrix with a mean size of 30 nm.Addition of Ce3+ greatly enhanced 1.54 m fluorescence of Er3+ by the cross relaxation energy transfer between Er3+ and Ce3+.Meanwhile,incorporation of Ce3+ dramatically decreased the visible upconversion emission intensity of glass ceramic than that of glass,suggesting that Ce3+ might incorporate into the FAP nanocrystals.The properties of this transparent glass ceramic showed the potential application as an efficient 980 nm pumped infrared laser medium.

Luminescent properties and energy transfer of color-tunable Sr3Y2（SiO3）6：Ce3＋,Tb3＋ phosphors

Phosphors with controlled emission spectra are of great interest due to their application for white light emitting diodes.Herein, a new class of Sr3Y2（SiO3）6：Ce3＋,Tb3＋ phosphors were synthesized by a facile sol-gel combustion method. The phase structure,morphology, and luminescence properties of the phosphors were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, and photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra,respectively. The results on luminescence properties indicated that co-doped Ce3＋ ions served as UV-light sensitizers with excitation energy partially transferred to Tb3＋ ions, leading to green emission from Tb3＋. Particularly, the corresponding emitting colors of the phosphors could be well-tuned from deep blue（0.16, 0.05） to green region（0.25, 0.45） by adjusting the molar ratio of Ce3＋/Tb3＋.

Adsorption and desorption properties of D151 resin for Ce(III)

The present research is aimed at the development of D151 resin as an adsorbent that it can be used in the adsorption of Ce(III) ions. The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Ce(III) on D151 resin have been investigated by chemistry analysis. The influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of Ce(III), initial pH of solution and temperature on the adsorption of Ce(III) had also been examined. The results show that the optimal adsorption condition of D151 for Ce(III) was achieved at pH=6.50 in HAc-NaAc medium. The maximum uptake capacity of Ce(III) was 392 mg/g resin at 298 K. The adsorption of Ce(III) followed both the Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm, and the correlation coefficients had been evaluated. Even kinetics on the adsorption of Ce(III) had been studied. The adsorption rate constant k_{298 K} valued was 1.3×10^?5 s^?1. The calculation data of thermodynamic parameters which ΔS⁰ value of 91.34 and ΔH⁰ value of 7.07 kJ/mol indicate the endothermic nature of the adsorption process. While, a decrease of Gibb's free energy (ΔG⁰) with increasing temperature indicated the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. Finally, Ce(III) could be eluted by using 0.5 mol/L HCl solution and the elution percentage was as high as 100%. Adsorption mechanism was also proposed for the adsorption of Ce(III) ions onto D151 resin using infrared spectroscopy technique.
