Abstract:
The utility of nickel/iron in the remediation of atrazine-contaminated water was investigated. The experimental results showed that nickel/iron had effective catalytic activity in dechlorinating atrazine under acidic conditions. The dechlorination reaction approximately followed the first-order kinetics under the experimental conditions (nickel/iron: 1.0 g/250 ml; C(atrazine) = 20.0 mg/L), the reaction rate increased with decreasing pH value of the reaction solution and increasing the proportion of Ni : Fe within 2.95%. For condition with 2.95% nickel/iron, the reaction rate constants were 0.07518 (R = 0.9927), 0.06212 (R = 0.9846) and 0.00131 min(-1) (R = 0.9565) at pH = 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, respectively. HPLC analysis was used to monitor the decline of atrazine concentration.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
