Cu2+, adsorption

The identification of adsorbed Cu+ ions on the Ti02 surface was done in [285]. The charge consumed in the region of peak A was about 10% of that corresponding to peaks B and C. The XPS studies of the nanostructured Ti02 films treated with Cu2+-containing solutions, and the preliminary cathodic reduction of the electrode at a potential -1.4 V for 10 min just before Cu2+ adsorption, evidently confirmed the assumption that the nature of peak A was associated with the existence of Cu+ ions [285].

Polar organic compounds such as amino acids normally do not polymerize in water because of dipole-dipole interactions. However, polymerization of amino acids to peptides may occur on clay surfaces. For example, Degens and Metheja51 found kaolinite to serve as a catalyst for the polymerization of amino acids to peptides. In natural systems, Cu2+ is not very likely to exist in significant concentrations. However, Fe3+ may be present in the deep-well environment in sufficient amounts to enhance the adsorption of phenol, benzene, and related aromatics. Wastes from resinmanufacturing facilities, food-processing plants, pharmaceutical plants, and other types of chemical plants occasionally contain resin-like materials that may polymerize to form solids at deep-well-injection pressures and temperatures. 

Taking into account the electron density relocation (Table 2.4) two routes of NO adsorption can be distinguished. Thus, the nitric oxide coordinates to the monovalent Cr, Ni, and Cu ions in an oxidative way (A<2M > 0), whereas for the rest of the TMIs in a reductive way (AgM < 0). Although this classification is based on the rather simplified criteria, it is well substantiated by experimental observations. Examples of reductive adsorption are provided by interaction of NO with NinSi02 and NinZSM-5, leading at T > 200 K to a Ni -NOs+ adduct identified by the characteristic EPR signal [71]. At elevated temperatures, similar reduction takes place for ConZSM-5 [63], whereas in the case of Cu ZSM-5 part of the monovalent copper is oxidized by NO to Cu2+, as it can readily be inferred from IR and EPR spectra [72,73], This point is discussed in more detail elsewhere [4,57],...

The dependences of pH and C-potential on the adsorbed amount of M(H20)2+ at the total metal ion concentrations of 3 x10-3 mol dm-3 are shown in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. The amount adsorbed for each M2+ increases with the pH, and the inflection points are shifted toward the lower pH region in the order of Co2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, which corresponds to the order of the hydrolysis constant of metal ions. To explain the M2+-adsorption/desorption, Hachiya et al. (16,17) modified the treatment of the computer simulation developed by Davis et al. (4). In this model, M2+ binds coordina-tively to amphoteric surface hydroxyl groups. The equilibrium constants are expressed as... 

In IR experiments it was confirmed that NO could adsorb as NO, NO and (NO)2- species on the Cu-zeolite, and the anionic species decreased with adsorption time to yield N2 and N2O in the gas phase whereas NO" " increased. After adsorption of NO for about 1 h, anionic species had almost disappeared and the intensity of NO species became approximately constant. These results indicate that all the Cu ions generated through pretieatment at elevated temperature were oxidized to Cu2 ions by oxygen produced in the NO decomposition at ambient temperature and the resulting CU2+ ions acted as adsorption sites for NO" " (Cu2+ + NO = Cu -NO ). This NO species could not be desorbed by evacuation at room temp ature. The IR spectra indicated the presoice of a large amount of NO and small amounts of NO2 and NO3 after the evacuation, i.e., weakly adsorbed or physisorbed NO molecules were absent from the zeolite under these condititHis. These phenomena were further confirmed by ESR experiments the adsorption-desorption cycles of NO resulted in a decrease-increase in the intensity of Cu2+ ESR signals. 

Copper acetate was used in Ref. 38 it was noted that if chloride was used instead of acetate, no deposition occurred, and this was attributed to adsorption of chloride on the substrate (Pt). The berzelianite phase with a small amount of umangite impurity was obtained. The composition and phase of the film could be altered by electrochemical cathodic polarization (in an aqueous K2SO4 solution). Initially, there occurred an increase in lattice parameters and decrease in x (Cu2-A Se). With continued polarization, a phase change occurred until eventually only orthorhombic Cui xSe was present in the film. The umangite phase also disappeared, and it was believed that this impurity phase catalyzed the phase transformation. The change in composition during cathodic polarization was attributed to reduction of zerovalent Se to Se, which was dissolved in the solution. Based on the study of Fohner and JeUinek [41] discussed earlier, this explanation can be interpreted as reduction of Sei ( monovalent Se) to Se (divalent Se). 

Choy and McKay (2005) studied the removal of Cu2+ from aqueous phase using bone char in a batch reactor. The volume of the liquid was 1.7 L, the volume of the tank 2 L, and its diameter 0.13 m. A six-bladed flat impeller with a diameter of 0.065 m and a blade height of 0.013 m was used. Absorbent particles of 605- pm diameter were used for the adsorption experiments.
