Electrochemical Removal Of Low Concentration Pb(Ii) From Aqueous Solution Based On Ppy/Α-Zrp/Ptcf Electrode, Ru-Yi Chen, Peng-Le Zhang, Sen-Liang Liao, Zhong-De Wang, Xiao-Gang Hao Aug 2015

Electrochemical Removal Of Low Concentration Pb(Ii) From Aqueous Solution Based On Ppy/Α-Zrp/Ptcf Electrode, Ru-Yi Chen, Peng-Le Zhang, Sen-Liang Liao, Zhong-De Wang, Xiao-Gang Hao

Journal of Electrochemistry

A novel organic-inorganic hybrid film consisting of polypyrrole/α-zirconium phosphate (PPy/α-ZrP) was prepared in an aqueous phase by cyclic voltammetry method. It was proved by FT-IR, XRD and XPS characterizations that the electroactive PPy/α-ZrP hybrid film was synthesized successfully. The PPy/α-ZrP film electrode prepared on a porous three-dimensional carbon felt (PTCF) was used for removal of a low concentration of Pb(II) ions from an aqueous solution by electrochemically switched ion exchange (ESIX). A quick uptake and release rate of Pb(II) onto the film electrode was obtained by adjusting redox state of the hybrid film. The removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of …


Adsorption Of Proteins At Solid-Liquid Interfaces, Willem Norde Jan 1995

Adsorption Of Proteins At Solid-Liquid Interfaces, Willem Norde

Cells and Materials

This paper concisely reviews the general principles underlying protein adsorption from aqueous solution onto a solid surface. The discussion includes the various stages of the adsorption process, i. e., transport of the protein molecules towards the surface, the absorbed amount under equilibrium conditions, desorption and re-adsorption. Among the interactions that determine the overall protein adsorption process (1 ) redistribution of charged groups in the interfacial layer, (2) changes in the hydration of the sorbent and the protein surface, and (3) structural rearrangements in the protein molecule play major roles. Special attention is given to the relation between the structural stability …
