摘要
Fe-0 nanoparticles (NZVI) were successfully immobilized on epichlorohydrin/chitosan beads (ECH-CS-NZVI beads) for reduction of Cr(VI) from wastewater. Characterization with scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that ECH-CS-NZVI beads with an average aperture size of 23.2 mu m mainly consisted of Fe, O, C and N. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum suggested that ECH could be grafted to CS-NZVI beads. A marked decrease in crumpling ratios indicated that the mechanical strength of Fe-0-nanoparticles-chito-san (CS-NZVI) beads was obviously enhanced by cross-linking of epichlorohydrin (ECH). The thermal stability of ECH-CS-NZVI beads was also enhanced. Cr(VI) concentration, NZVI dosage, pH values and reaction temperature played an important role in the lifetime and using efficiency of ECH-CS-NZVI beads. Under all experimental conditions, the removal of Cr(VI) using ECH-CS-NZVI beads was consistent with pseudo first-order reaction kinetics. A removal rate could be maintained as high as 76.6% and 48.2% on the second and third runs, respectively, which hinted that ECH-CS-NZVI beads could be regenerated. The study demonstrates that ECH-CS-NZVI beads could become an effective and promising technology for in situ remediation of Cr(VI). (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
