The maximum adsorption capacities of Sb(V) calculated from the Langmuir model were 161.3 and 151.5 mg/g for MOF-Y and NH2-MOF-Y, respectively. The Y-based MOFs exhibited strong water and chemical stability, it could be utilized for removal Sb(V) under wide pH range and various concentration of Sb(V). The spent adsorbents could be successfully regenerated by NaCl (5 mol/L) solution for further utilization without damaging the crystal structure of Y-based MOFs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) results revealed that the formation of inner-sphere Y-O-Sb complex between Y-oxo-clusters and Sb(V) was the dominant adsorption mechanism, while the co-precipitation of Y3+ and Sb(V) was also partially contributed the Sb(V) adsorption. High stability together with high Sb(V) adsorption capacity and excellent recyclability endow the Y-based MOFs as promising adsorbents for Sb(V) removal from wastewater.]]> Wed 22 Mar 2023 18:38:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38847 −, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻, SiO₃²⁻ and PO₄³⁻. The adsorption affinity increased from 0.0047 to 0.0915 and 0.0053 to 0.4091 for As(V) and Sb(V), respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigation demonstrated a reductive conversion of As(V) to As(III) during the adsorption process with sulfide-modified α-FeOOH, but with no obvious variation of Sb(V) speciation. While the removal mechanism for As(V) was reduction followed by adsorption via hydroxyl groups, mainly surface complexation was involved in the removal of Sb(V). This study presented a simple strategy to enhance the adsorption capacity and adsorption affinity of α-FeOOH toward As(V)/Sb(V) via sulfide-modification.]]> Wed 16 Feb 2022 10:55:29 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35994 Thu 23 Jan 2020 14:49:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52516 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:38:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40414 Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase for 6 h to prepare omega-3 acylglycerol concentrate with the DHA content significantly increased from 24.9% in tuna oil to 36.3% in the acylglycerol concentrate. The acylglycerol concentrate was subsequently encapsulated into the “multi-core” microcapsules using gelatin- sodium hexametaphosphate complex coacervates as the shell material. Rancimat, Oxipres and thermogravimetric analyses all showed that the microencapsulated acylglycerol concentrate had unexpectedly improved oxidation stability, compared to those produced using tuna oil, even though the concentrated oils themselves were significantly less stable than tuna oil. The incorporation of enzymatic tuna oil acylglycerol concentrate also significantly improved the oxidation stability of microencapsulated standard refined unconcentrated tuna oil. A wide range of characteristics including lipid and fatty acid composition, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion properties, morphology, nanomechanical strength and physicochemical stability of acylglycerol, acylglycerol oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and final microcapsules were investigated throughout the preparation. The result suggests that high levels of monoacylglycerol (about 35%) and diacylglycerol (about 8.5%) were produced in the acylglycerol. The acylglycerol O/W emulsion exhibited significantly smaller droplet size, lower zeta-potential and higher surface hydrophobicity, which contributed to the formation of the microcapsule with a significantly smoother surface and more compact structure, finally leading to improved oxidative stability compared to those prepared from native tuna oil.]]> Mon 11 Jul 2022 14:37:38 AEST ]]>
