概要: 金沢大学理工研究域物質化学系<br />End-of-life electrical and electronic equipment is the potential secondary resource for economically -viable precious metals (PMs), e.g., gold (Au), palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt). The hydrometallurgical processes produce acidic leachates during the recovery of PMs from waste sources, while the selective recovery of Au, Pd, or Pt from such a matrix is challenging either due to the chemical similarities of elements or complexities in the sources and matrices. A total of nine solid-phase extraction (SPE) systems, all claimed to designed for separation of PMs from complex matrices, was evaluated at varying solution pH (≤2 to 10) based on the selectivity towards Au, Pd, or Pt. The observation was used to develop a technique for selective Au, Pd, or Pt separation from acidic waste solutions using a macrocycle-equipped SPE. The feed solution flow-rates, eluent-type or compositions has been optimized to achieve maximum separation efficiency of the target analytes. The relative affinity of the macrocycles in solid-phase towards the ions (Pd > Au > Pt) is the core phenomenon of the proposed technique, and the host-guest type interaction is expected to be more stable than the resin-based separation processes. Furthermore, application of the macrocycle-equipped SPE system is advantageous regarding economics as it minimizes the impact of coexisting ions in the matrix and provides unaltered separation performance for several loading-elution cycles. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学理工研究域物質化学系<br />The bioavailability of trivalent iron (Fe3+) to plants can be enhanced using fertilizer solutions co ntaining humic acids (HA) as manifested from the increased crop yield at an iron stress conditions. The lignite-derived HA (HAlignite) facilitates higher diffusion of Fe3+ between the soil layers as attributable to more number of reactive sites in the assemblage compared to those from other origins. In the current work, the proton-binding of HAlignite size-fractions (5–10, 10–30, 30–100, and >100 kDa), as segmented based on the molecular weight distribution, and their complexation with Fe3+ have been studied at varying pH ranging from low to high. The protonation or formation of Fe3+-complexes exhibited a comparable pattern despite the differences in the conformational distribution of HAlignite size-fractions. The protonation behavior specified that the behavior of HAlignite size-fractions has similarity with that of a dibasic acid. The results are interpreted using reactive structural units (RSU) concept to show that the carboxyl and phenolic-hydroxyl groups in the HAlignite size-fractions simultaneously available as the Fe3+-binding sites. The stability constants for larger MW fractions of HAlignite (>100 kDa) was the lowest, as attributed to the increased aggregation rate in an aqueous matrix. The trend in conditional stability constants of HAlignite-size fractions and other Fe-chelators point to a better Fe-binding capability of HAlignite (30–100 kDa) size-fraction than the biodegradable alternatives (GLDA, HIDS, EDDS, IDSA, or NTA), while the Fe-interaction was stronger with classical synthetic chelators (EDTA, DTPA, or EDDHA). © 2018 Elsevier B.V.<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る
