Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry

Background:

  • Industrial wastewater from non-ferrous metal industries contains significant amounts of arsenic, posing environmental risks.
  • Tire-derived char (TC) is a potential adsorbent but requires surface modification for effective arsenic removal due to tar/ash adhesion.
  • Existing TC modification methods often involve high-temperature activation, necessitating alternative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a modified TC adsorbent for efficient removal of pentavalent arsenic (As(V)) from wastewater.
  • To investigate the adsorption performance and mechanism of the modified adsorbent under various conditions.
  • To evaluate the impact of coexisting ions on arsenic removal efficiency.

Main Methods:

Waste tire pyrolysis char
  • Modification of tire-derived char (TC) using NaOH and iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) at room temperature and in an air atmosphere.
  • Characterization of the Fe(OH)3-TCNaOH adsorbent, focusing on particle size (61-75 μm) and surface properties.
  • Batch adsorption experiments to determine As(V) removal rates, optimal pH range, and the effect of coexisting phosphate ions (PO43-).

    • Main Results:

    • The Fe(OH)3-TCNaOH adsorbent achieved over 90% As(V) removal within 30 minutes at an initial concentration of 5 mg/L and a wide pH range (3-9).
    • Phosphate ions significantly impacted As(V) adsorption, reducing the removal rate by approximately 20%.
    • Adsorption mechanism involves an increase in mesoporous pores (3-5 nm) and the formation of hydrogen bonds, enhancing As(V) uptake and Fe-As complex stability.

    Conclusions:

    • Fe(OH)3-TCNaOH is an effective adsorbent for removing As(V) from wastewater, offering good performance under ambient conditions.
    • The room-temperature modification method provides a potentially more accessible and energy-efficient route for producing effective arsenic adsorbents.
    • Understanding the influence of coexisting ions and adsorption mechanisms is crucial for optimizing real-world applications.
