Abstract
Discharging of lead-contained sewage has posed great threats to the ecological environment and human being health. To effectively eliminate Pb2+, a ternary composite cellulose/zinc oxide/magnesium hydroxide (labelled as CelZnMg) was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS were applied to analyze CelZnMg. It shows that ZnO particles and Mg(OH)2 sheet uniformly distribute on the surface of cellulose. Comprehensive density functional theory calculations realize that the composite has four structural arrangements at the atomic level. Its three components are chemically coupled, which in return stabilize the whole composite. Computationally and experimentally, CelZnMg can separate Pb2+ ions from water and immobilize them on the composite surface, where the removal efficiency reaches 99.7 %. The removal mechanism has been proposed.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
