Abstract:

Herein, a promising titanate nanotubes (TNT) anchored nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) nanocomposite (NZVI/TNT) was synthesized, characterized and used for the enhanced scavenging of Cr(VI) and Se(VI) from water. The structural identification indicated that NZVI was uniformly loaded on TNT, thereby, the oxidation and aggregation of NZVI was significantly minimized. The macroscopic experimental results indicated that NZVI/TNT exhibited higher efficiency as well as rate on Cr(VI) and Se(VI) scavenging resulted from the good synergistic effect between adsorption and reduction. Besides, TNT can weaken the inhibitory effect of co-existing humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) on the scavenging of Cr(VI) and Se(VI) by NZVI, since TNT showed strong adsorption for HA and FA that inhibit potential reactivity. XPS analysis suggested that surface-bound Fe(II) played a critical role in Cr(VI) and Se(VI) scavenging. XANES analysis demonstrated that TNT acted as a promoter for the almost complete transformation of Cr(VI) into Cr(III), and Se(VI) into Se(0)/Se(-II) in NZVI system. EXAFS analysis indicated that TNT acted as a scavenger for insoluble products, and thus more reactive sites can be used for Cr(VI) and Se(VI) reduction. The excellent performance of NZVI/TNT provide a potential material for purification and detoxification of Cr(VI) and Se(VI) from wastewater.
