Zeolites synthesized from biomass waste materials offer a great opportunity in the sustainable utilization of the waste. In this work, energy-efficient processes (i.e. microwave and ultrasound irradiation) were used to synthesize pure phase sodalite (zeolite) from coal fly ash obtained from a power plant in South Africa. The pure-phase sodalite was obtained with a comparatively higher surface area (16 m2 g−1) and cation exchange capacity (2.92 meq. g−1) with 40 min total reaction time. The removal of ammonium from urine was carried out using (i) the coal fly ash-derived sodalite, (ii) raw coal fly ash and (iii) a commercially available natural zeolite (clinoptilolite). The pure phase sodalite exhibited the highest removal efficiency of about 82% and 73% in synthetic and real hydrolyzed urine respectively. The adsorption process followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, indicating that the adsorption process occurred on a heterogeneous surface.

微波辅助合成粉煤灰基沸石去除尿液中的铵

由生物质废料合成的沸石为废物的可持续利用提供了巨大的机会。在这项工作中,采用节能工艺(微波和超声波辐照)从南非一家发电厂的粉煤灰中合成纯相方钠石(沸石)。获得的纯相方钠石具有相对较高的表面积 (16 m 2 g -1 ) 和阳离子交换容量 (2.92 meq. g -1),总反应时间为 40 分钟。使用 (i) 粉煤灰衍生的方钠石、(ii) 原粉煤灰和 (iii) 市售天然沸石(斜发沸石)从尿液中去除铵。纯相方钠石在合成尿和真正水解尿中的去除效率最高,分别约为 82% 和 73%。吸附过程遵循准二级动力学模型和Freundlich吸附等温线,表明吸附过程发生在非均相表面上。
