preface
Organic pollutants are widely present in water bodies and soils, including organic solvents, pesticides, industrial wastewater, etc. These organic pollutants are toxic and refractory to degradation, posing a threat to the environment and human health. The development of efficient and cost-effective treatment technologies is essential to reduce the environmental impact of organic pollutants.
In this paper, the adsorption and desorption behavior of organic pollutants on the surface of manganese oxide are studied, and the factors affecting adsorption and desorption are discussed. Through the study of adsorption mechanism and kinetics, it can provide a theoretical basis for the application of manganese oxide in the treatment of organic pollutants.
Properties of manganese oxide
Specific surface area: Manganese oxide has a relatively large specific surface area, which refers to the surface area per unit mass or unit volume of manganese oxide material. A larger specific surface area means more surface-active sites, which can provide more adsorption locations and reaction sites, which is conducive to adsorption and catalytic reactions.
Structural diversity: Manganese oxide can exist in a variety of crystal structures, including α-MnO2, β-MnO2, γ-MnO2, etc. Manganese oxide with different structures has different lattice parameters and surface properties, so there may be differences in adsorption and catalytic performance.
Active sites: The surface of manganese oxide is rich in active sites that provide the active centers required for adsorption, catalysis, and reactions. The active sites can be surface oxygen vacancies, defect sites of Mn ions or surface hydroxyl groups, etc., which have important effects on the adsorption of organic pollutants and catalytic reactions.
Redox: Manganese oxide has certain redox properties and can participate in redox reactions under some environmental conditions. This makes manganese oxide promising in catalytic and electrochemical applications, such as as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries.
Thermal stability: Manganese oxide has good thermal stability in a certain temperature range, which makes it maintain good activity and stability in high-temperature treatment and catalytic reactions.
Manganese oxide has a large specific surface area, abundant active sites and thermal stability, which makes it an important adsorption material and catalyst, which is widely used in environmental pollution control, energy storage and conversion.
Adsorption mechanism of organic pollutants on manganese oxide
Physical adsorption: Physical adsorption is an adsorption process that occurs due to the interaction force between organic pollutants and the surface of manganese oxide. The main interacting forces include van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. Van der Waals forces are weak interaction forces between molecules, related to the polarity and size of molecules.
Hydrogen bonds are formed due to the interaction between hydrogen atoms and atoms with strong electronegativity. Physical adsorption is usually reversible, and the interaction between sorbent and organic pollutants can be changed by changing environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure).
Chemical adsorption: Chemical adsorption is an adsorption process that occurs due to the formation of chemical bonds between organic pollutants and the surface of manganese oxide. Chemical adsorption is usually irreversible because a chemical reaction occurs during adsorption, forming chemical bonds. The mechanism of chemisorption may involve the formation of covalent bonds, including electron transfer, cleavage and formation of covalent bonds. During chemisorption, the molecular structure of organic pollutants may change to form chemical species that bind to the surface of manganese oxide.
Adsorption kinetic studies: Adsorption kinetic studies aim to reveal the adsorption rate of organic pollutants on the surface of manganese oxide and the time dependence of the adsorption process. By studying the adsorption kinetics, the adsorption amount changes with time during the adsorption process can be understood, and parameters such as adsorption rate constant and adsorption equilibrium time can be extracted.
Adsorption isotherm: Adsorption isotherm describes the relationship between adsorption capacity and adsorbent concentration, i.e. adsorption in equilibrium. By experimentally determining the adsorption amount at different concentrations, the adsorption isotherm can be plotted. Commonly used adsorption isotherm models include Langmuir model, Freundlich model, Dubinin-Radushkevich model, etc., which can be used to describe the equilibrium state and adsorption capacity during adsorption.
Adsorption kinetic model: The adsorption kinetic model describes the change of adsorption amount with time during adsorption. Commonly used adsorption kinetic models include primary kinetic model, second-order kinetic model and diffusion control model. The first-order kinetic model assumes that the adsorption rate is proportional to the concentration of the adsorbent, the second-order kinetic model assumes that the adsorption rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of the adsorbent, and the diffusion control model considers the mass transfer process of the substance in the adsorbent and solution.
Experimental methods: The study of adsorption kinetics usually requires experimental determination of adsorption capacity at different time points. Commonly used experimental methods include batch adsorption experiment and dynamic adsorption experiment. In the batch adsorption experiment, a certain amount of adsorbent is mixed with a certain concentration of solution, and the adsorption amount is determined by sampling at different time points. The dynamic adsorption experiment simulates the conditions of continuous supply of organic pollutants, and the kinetic characteristics of the adsorption process are inferred by monitoring the change of organic pollutant concentration in the effluent liquid.
Desorption behavior of organic pollutants on manganese oxide
The desorption behavior of organic pollutants on manganese oxide refers to the process by which organic pollutants adsorbed on the surface of manganese oxide are desorbed or released from the adsorbent. Studying the desorption behavior of organic pollutants on manganese oxide is of great significance for understanding the regeneration and recovery of adsorbents, and the control and optimization of desorption processes.
Desorption kinetics: Desorption kinetic studies reveal the rate and process of desorption of organic contaminants from the surface of manganese oxide. Desorption kinetics are typically determined by monitoring the concentration of organic contaminants on the sorbent over time. Commonly used desorption kinetic models include primary kinetic models, second-order kinetic models and diffusion control models. These models can be used to describe the rate and mechanism of desorption of organic pollutants from the surface of manganese oxide.
Desorption conditions: Desorption behavior is affected by a variety of conditions, including solution pH, temperature, solvent properties, etc. The selection and regulation of desorption conditions can affect the desorption rate and desorption rate. Adjusting the pH of the solution can change the charge interaction between the organic contaminant and the manganese oxide surface, which in turn affects the desorption process.
Desorption mechanism: The desorption mechanism of organic pollutants can involve a variety of interactions and processes. These include material absorption, chemical reactions, surface diffusion, etc. Physiophile absorption refers to the desorption of organic pollutants from the surface of manganese oxide through interactions such as van der Waals forces; Chemical reaction refers to the reaction of organic pollutants with surface-active sites, resulting in desorption; Surface diffusion refers to the diffusion process of organic pollutants on the surface of manganese oxide, through diffusion to the outside of the surface desorption.
Desorption mechanism model: Establishing a desorption mechanism model provides insight into the desorption mechanism of organic pollutants on manganese oxide. These models can provide quantitative predictions and explanations of desorption rates and mechanisms by simulating the desorption process.
Studying the desorption behavior of organic pollutants on manganese oxide can help optimize the adsorption-desorption process, understand the regeneration and recovery of sorbents, and control the release of organic pollutants. This has important practical application value for environmental pollution control and resource recycling.
