The embodiment 8--effect of acid treatment mosses
With the compressed rod of pappus bog moss (available from Sutton ' s Moss, Canada (collecting)) immerses four kinds of distilled water solution (Fe standard items in the concentrated hydrochloric acid that Fe concentration increases gradually in New Zealand, 0,0.5,5,50mg/L, available from RiccaChemicals, Arlington, Texas) in, making mosses concentration is 50mg/ml.The mosses that to soak into are 4 ℃ of store overnight.With the syringe Fe solution of squeezing out, filter, with inducing the plasma atomic emission spectrum determination method assay determination Fe of coupling.The result shows that mosses combine the Fe of significant quantity, in the 50mg/L sample up to 15mg/L.Undertaken this experiment by the distilled water wash mosses, obtain analog result.Yet, notice that (spiked) sample pH value of Fe reinforcement is low.Owing to realize optimum combination when pH 4-6, we heighten 4-7 with pH in the next round test.When the pH of Fe sample raise, Fe began precipitation.Mosses have been removed all Fe (up to 25mg/L) in the sample.Determine that then the ion that is incorporated into mosses before usefulness can influence cation in conjunction with test, should study the cationic method of removing in the mosses.
In the method for exploitation acid elution peat mosses (be not peat moss, peat moss is the mosses of rotting), two kinds of different acid have at first been used.The a collection of mosses of continuous stirring (about 5g) are used dense HNO in 3.5L distilled water 3PH is adjusted into 1.For the mosses of other batch, adopt 2% glacial acetic acid solution.Agitator treating thing 1 hour filters supernatant then, and new wash solution is added mosses.Repeat acid elution altogether four times.Behind the acid elution, use distilled water wash in the same manner 4 times.When distilled water wash finished, its electrical conductivity was similar to distilled water.The ionic weight of these two kinds acid removals is similar; Therefore generally washed mosses afterwards with acetate.
Determined the raising that under neutral pH soluble metal is more suitable for measuring binding capacity and mensuration and combines with acid elution peat mosses (with respect to do not wash combining of mosses).Select calcium to be used for this purpose.Used mosses are present embodiment described pappus bog mosses before, and used acid is 2% glacial acetic acid solution, washs as described in the previous paragraph.First test shows and estimates on the contrary, does not wash the maximum of mosses combination, the mosses combination of acid elution minimum.When sample for reference pH, find that binding ability is relevant with pH.The mosses of acid elution have reduced the pH of solution, and this can influence ions binding.For eliminating this problem, the mosses of using the washing of high level salt solution washing acid are to replace the H+ ion with Na.High level salt solution is the 1M sodium acetate, continues stir about 5g mosses 1 hour, repeated washing then in this kind of 3.5L sodium acetate solution.After this twice sodium acetate solution washing, use distilled water wash 4 times, washed 1 hour at every turn, each washing is carried out in the same manner.Measure the mosses of acid/salt washing; The pH of press juice does not reduce, and the combination that demonstrates than distilled water wash and unwashed mosses significantly improves (Ca concentration is represented with ppm) as shown in the table.
Therefore the variation of extract pH still is difficult to distinguish the effect of acid elution and pH up to 2 pH units.Therefore developed the new method of measuring the mosses combination, it can still adjust pH under the situation in sample solution in mosses.Finish the method with porous plate, little stirring rod and 10mg/ml mosses concentration.Solution is on the mosses approximately after half an hour, the pH of all solution adjusted in 0.25 pH unit of 6.5.The mosses that this can measure the mosses of acid/salt washing and only use acid elution.The result is as follows.Shown in mean value be the mean value of two samples.
Because pH adjusts to mutual difference in 0.5 pH unit; Eliminated the pH effect, the binding capacity that can be observed the mosses of acid elution significantly improves.The combination of the mosses of acid/salt washing is better slightly than the mosses of only using acid elution, distilled water wash better slightly than unwashed mosses, but be enough to hardly be called significantly.
Therefore, prove that mosses can be in conjunction with Fe and Ca ion, therefore can be effective to water treatment, because one or both that remove these two kinds of ions are purposes of water treatment.
The purpose that above-mentioned specification and accompanying drawing are provided is to describe embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit by any way the scope of the invention.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that and to carry out various modifications and change, and do not deviate from the spirit or scope of the present invention.Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover modification of the present invention and change, if they enter the scope of the claims and the equivalent form of value thereof.
