Adsorption Studies of Coconut Shell Carbons Prepared by KOH Activation for Removal of Lead(II) From Aqueous Solutions
Removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions using coconut shell carbons produced by KOH activation is performed in this paper. Morphology and pore structure characteristic of coconut shell carbons are analyzed by SEM and nitrogen adsorption techniques. Effects of adsorbent concentration, agitation time and initial ion concentration on the adsorption behavior are investigated, and adsorption isotherm and kinetics on coconut shell carbons are also studied. The results show that high weight ratio of KOH/sample is favorable to produce rich porous structure. The resultant coconut shell carbons with a high specific surface area of 1135 m2/g is obtained and demonstrates good adsorption potential on removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. Adsorption data fit well with Freundlich and Halsey isotherms. The kinetic studies indicate that adsorption behavior can be described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which also follows external diffusion and intra-particle diffusion in the adsorption process
Multiple Light Source-Excited Organic Manganese Halides for Water-Jet Rewritable Luminescent Paper and Anti-Counterfeiting
Rewritable luminescent paper is particularly crucial,
considering
the ultrahigh paper consumption and confidential information security,
but a highly desirable stimuli-responsive smart luminescent material
with excellent water solubility has rarely been studied. Herein, a
new type of rewritable paper made by highly efficient green light
emissive zero-dimensional (0D) organic manganese halides is rationally
designed by virtue of the reversible photoluminescence (PL) off–on
switching. Specifically, the green emission can be linearly quenched
by water vapor in a wide humidity range and again recovered in a dry
atmosphere, which make it a smart hydrochromic PL off–on switching
and humidity sensor. Benefiting from the reversible luminescence off–on
switch and excellent water solubility, rewritable luminescent paper
is realized through water-jet security printing technology on 0D halide-coated
commercial paper with high resolution. The printed/written information
can be easily cleaned by slight heating with outstanding “write–erase–write”
cycle capabilities. In addition, multiple light source-induced coincident
green light emissions further provide convenience to realize anti-counterfeiting,
encryption and decryption of confidential information, and so forth.
This work highlights the superiority of dynamic ionic-bonded 0D organic
manganese halides as reversible PL switching materials in rewritable
luminescent paper, high-security-level information printing, storage
and protection technologies, and so forth
