Adsorption behaviors of phenol from aqueous solutions have been investigated in batch systems at 303 K and 318 K respectively,using hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent(CHA111),aminated hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents (NDA101,NDA103,NDA105)and weakly basic polymeric adsorbent(D301)with a view to studying the effect of hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals interactions between adsorbate and the adsorbent.All adsorption isotherms can be well fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich equations.Compared with D301 driven by hydrogen bonding interaction only and CHA111 driven by Van der Waals interaction only,phenol adsorption on aminated adsorbents driven by both hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals interactions were apparently different,i.e.,negative effect for NDA105,positive effect for NDA101 and synergistic effect for NDA103.In this synergistic action,some weak interactions would contribute more or less to the adsorption than they work individually.
The binary adsorption behavior of 1-naphthol/1-naphthylamine mixtures in water on nonpolar adsorbent Amberlite XAD4 was investigated at 293 K,303 K and 313 K,respectively.The experimental uptakes of 1-naphthol and l-naphthylamine in all binary-component systems of different molar ratios were obviously higher than the corresponding uptakes predicted by the extended Langmuir model,assuming no interaction between the adsorbed molecules of the two components.This phenomenon was attributed to the cooperative adsorption effect arising from the hydrogen bonding interaction between l-naphthol and l-napbthylamine molecules.A modified extended Langmuir model was proposed to describe the binary adsorption behavior by means of introducing a fitting parameter related with the cooperative adsorption effect of the adsorbates.
This paper presents lab-scale experiment carried out to evaluate the c orrelation between ammonia nitrogen(NH3-N) and p-toluidine using sequencing batc h reactor treating synthetic p-toluidine wastewater. The profiles of NH3-N and p -toluidine were traced under the concentration of sucrose in the influent varied from 0 to 500 mg/L, aerated airflow varied from 0.6 to 1.2 L/min and temperatur e varied from 10 to 25℃, respectively. The results showed that the concentratio n of NH3-N turned from increase to decrease when p-toluidine was nearly complete ly biodegraded, so the profile of NH3-N could clearly indicate the endpoint of p -toluidine biodegradation. And the profile of NH3-N was not influenced by the su crose in the influent, aerated airflow and temperature. It is showed that using ammonia nitrogen as monitoring and control parameter is feasible and reliable an d has promising application in amine wastewater treatment by SBR.

The adsorption properties, including the adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics and kinetics, of 1-amino-2- naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (1,2,4-acid) onto weakly basic resin ND900 are investigated. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich equations can give a good fit to the adsorption isotherms, which indicates an endothermic and a favorable adsorption in our study range. A high yield in elimination of about 45.21 %-97.28% is obtained for the tested adsorption systems. The capacity and affinity of the adsorption increase with temperature, due to the phenomena of "solvent-motivated" effects. The value of is 51.59 kJ/mol, which indicates a chemical adsorption and then expects the poor desorption property of ND900. The negative value of indicates the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process, and the positive value of shows the increased randomness at the solid/solution interface during the adsorption process. The value of the adsorption rate constant lower than 0.013 min-1 is indicative of a slow adsorption rate. The intra-particle diffusion must be one of the rate limiting steps.
