Fabrication of superhydrophobic surface on stainless steel by two-step chemical etching

A two-step chemical etching method for preparing superhydrophobic surfaces on stainless steel substrates is proposed. The stainless steel substrates were sequentially immersed in hydrochloric acid and ferric chloride solutions to create micro-nano structures, and then the surfaces were modified with low surface energy substances. Superhydrophobic surfaces with a contact angle of 159° and a sliding angle of 2° were prepared by varying the etching solution parameters. The fabricated superhydrophobic surfaces showed excellent stability and self-cleaning properties. This paper illustrates a low-cost and efficient chemical etching method that can be used for large-area surface fabrication.

Corrosion behavior of the nickel/nickel interface during the copper‐sacrificial layer release process in micro‐electroforming

AbstractThis study investigates the corrosion behavior of the nickel/nickel (Ni/Ni) interface during the release of the copper‐sacrificial layer in multilayered micro‐electroforming. By altering the pre‐ and posttreatment of multilayered micro‐electroforming (degreasing, in situ anodic treatment, pickling, repassivation, and heat treatment), six different types of Ni/Ni interfaces were obtained. The activities and surface characteristics of the pretreated Ni substrates were investigated via open circuit potential and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The microstructures of the as‐prepared Ni/Ni interfaces were determined using scanning electron microscopy; after releasing the sacrificial layer in the ferric chloride solution, their corrosion morphologies and corrosion depths were observed under a three‐dimensional microscope with an ultra‐depth of field. The Ni/Ni interface showed a pre‐existing passive layer and interfacial defects. The interface was more prone to attack than the Ni base. Pitting corrosion along the interface boundary occurs via three main processes—initiation, growth, and pit coalescence—with a corresponding reduction in the interfacial adhesion strength and ultimately the structural integrity. The combination of substrate modification (degreasing and pickling) and heat posttreatment effectively avoids localized corrosion. We believe that the surface activation and thermally induced diffusion have worked.

Combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing for removal of artificial extrinsic stain on enamel surface: An in vitro study.

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the combined effect of baking soda and electric toothbrushing on the removal of artificial extrinsic stain in vitro. Material and MethodsFlat enamel surfaces of 15 bovine incisors were artificially stained with 10% citric acid / 3% ferric chloride solution followed by 1% tannic acid solution. These specimens were randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) – Group S+B: brushing with an electric toothbrush and baking soda, Group S+C: brushing with an electric toothbrush and fluoride dentifrice, Group S: brushing only with an electric toothbrush. Color values (L*, a*, and b*) and surface roughness were measured before and after brushing (after 1, 2, 3, and 5 min). The data were statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honest significant difference test as a post hoc test (p< 0.05). ResultsThe L* value of Group S+B increased over time, and was significantly different between before brushing and at 5 min (p< 0.05). A significant difference in the ΔE* value of Group S+B was found at 5 min (p< 0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the ΔE* values of Group S+C and Group S. No significant differences in Ra were found in any of the groups. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that the combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing has an excellent stain-removing effect compared with electric toothbrushing with a fluoride dentifrice. Additionally, the changes in surface roughness were similar to the changes caused by the use of general dentifrices. Key words:Baking soda, dentifrice, extrinsic stain removal, color change, surface roughness.

Antithrombotic Activity of the Antiplatelet Agent Angipur on the Model of Arterial Thrombosis in Rats with Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction.

We studied the effect of Angipur on the process of experimental thrombosis induced by damage to the carotid artery wall by surface application of 50% ferric chloride (III) solution in rats without comorbidities and with isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. In animals without comorbidities, Angipur administered intravenously was 1.2 times less effective, in terms of ED50, than the well-known inhibitor of GPIIb/IIIa platelet receptors tirofiban. However, under conditions of non-coronary myocardial infarction, Angipur significantly prolonged the time of thrombus formation and exhibited 1.4-fold higher activity than the reference drug tirofiban.

Growth of turbostratic stacked graphene using waste ferric chloride solution as a feedstock.

Monolayer graphene has excellent electrical properties especially a linear dispersion in the band structure at the K-point in the Brillouin zone. However, its electronic transport properties can be degraded by surface roughness and attachment of charge impurities. Although multilayer graphene can reduce the surface roughness and attachment of charge impurities, the increase in the number of graphene layers can degrade the electronic transport properties due to interlayer interactions. Turbostratic graphene can significantly reduce the effect of interlayer interaction of multilayer graphene resulting in electrical properties similar to those of monolayer graphene. In this report, we have demonstrated the growth of turbostratic stacked graphene using waste ferric chloride solution as a feedstock by vaporization and calcination at 700 °C for 6 hours under an argon atmosphere. SEM images and EDX elemental distribution maps showed graphene can be grown on iron and nickel catalysts. XRD results and Raman spectra confirmed the presence of turbostratic stacked graphene with the interlayer spacing in the range of 3.41 Å to 3.44 Å. The Raman spectra in all samples also displayed a weak intensity peak of iTALO− and a well-fitted 2D band by a single Lorentzian peak indicating the presence of turbostratic stacked graphene. In addition, XPS spectra reveal the growth mechanism of the turbostratic stacked graphene. This synthesis process of turbostratic stacked graphene is not only simple, low-cost, and suitable for large-scale production but also decreases the environmental issues from releasing waste ferric chloride solution with improper disposal.

Design of Soil Remediation Techniques from Column Leaching Test Results

The soil remediation at a contaminated site requires knowledge of contaminant transport parameters and processes. This paper presents the determination of transport parameters from column leaching tests in context with two soil remediation techniques i.e., soil washing and immobilization. To evaluate the soil washing technique, the column leaching tests on the polluted soil were conducted with diluted acid solutions of hydrochloric acid, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and ferric chloride to evaluate the leaching efficiencies of the selected leaching solutions. It was observed that the efficiency of diluted ferric chloride solution was higher as it removed the higher percentage of metals from the soil. From these test results, the contaminant transport parameters i.e., retardation factor and dispersion coefficient were determined which are useful to calculate the volume of leaching solution that will be required for soil washing at a site. As part of immobilization study on this soil, the soil was mixed with the selected amendments (lime, sodium hydroxide and cement) to increase the pH of the soil to 10 and the retardation factors were estimated through batch leaching test results. The retardation factors of different metals obtained with lime addition were found higher than the other amendments.To analyze the long-term stability of the amended mixtures, the leaching tests were conducted on amended soil samples and the immobilization efficiencies were estimated. It was found that the immobilization efficiencies were higher with lime addition and also concluded that the immobilization effiencies are directly related to retardation factors.

Polyacrylamide/carboxymethyl chitosan double‐network hydrogels with high conductivity and mechanical toughness for flexible sensors

AbstractConductive hydrogels are ideal candidate materials for flexible sensors, but the integration of satisfactory mechanical performances with high conductivity to meet the requirements for practical applications remains a challenge. Herein, a tough ionically conductive polyacrylamide (PAAm)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs) double‐network (DN) hydrogel is fabricated via in situ polymerization of acrylamide in CMCs aqueous solution, followed by ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution immersing. The PAAm/CMCs‐Fe3+ DN hydrogel demonstrates satisfactory mechanical properties, including sufficient tensile strength (~440 kPa), prominent stretchability (~715%), high toughness (~1658 kJ m−3), and excellent fatigue resistance, as well as superb conductivity up to 3.1 S m−1. Moreover, the ionically conductive DN hydrogel‐based sensors exhibit high sensitivity in a broad strain window (0%–700%) and can accurately, and repeatedly monitor the motions of body joints, such as finger and wrist, exhibiting great potential in applications of flexible sensors.

Self-healing, pH-sensitive and shape memory hydrogels based on acylhydrazone and hydrogen bonds

Smart hydrogels have wide potential in biological field owing to their self-healing property, pH or temperature sensitivity. However, the preparation of smart hydrogels often requires complicated synthesis process, and the single functionality of hydrogels might limit their application. To solve these problems, we developed a self-healing, pH-sensitive and shape memory hydrogel of poly (diacetone acrylamide-co-acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/alginate (PDAAc-A), taking advantage of the Schiff-base reaction and the hydrogen bonding interaction in a one-step method. The tensile modulus, fracture stress, fracture strain and toughness of the developed PDAAc-A3 hydrogel are 0.021 MPa, 0.013 MPa, 7.5 mm/mm and 0.07 MJ/m2, respectively. The dynamic and reversible acylhydrazone and hydrogen bonds endow hydrogels with self-healing property and pH-sensitive gel-sol transformation ability. The tensile tests demonstrate that the self-healing efficiency of hydrogel could reach up to 85% after about 30 min. Furthermore, PDAAc-A hydrogel exhibits pH-sensitivity during drug release. In PBS solution with pH value of 5, the hydrogel shows the fastest drug release rate and the highest drug release ratio, which is near 100% after about 4 h. Moreover, in 1 M ferric chloride solution, the shape memory time, shape memory ratio and shape recovery ratio of the resultant hydrogel are 2 min, 100% and 100%, respectively.

Effect of metal ions with reducing properties on hydrogels containing catechol groups

The catechol group in mussel has been widely explored for the development of hydrogels due to its optimal adhesion with water. Although the development of the catechol hydrogels has made an extensive progress, however, there is still room for further exploration. In this study, the effect of metal ions on the catechol modified hydrogels was studied with respect to the mechanical properties. For this, a polymer network structure containing the catechol hydrogel and polyacrylamide networks has been designed. Fe3+ and Ag+ have been selected to form the redox pairs with catechol. The addition of metal ions in the double network hydrogel increases the crosslinking degree and hardness of the hydrogel, thus, indicating the tuning of the mechanical properties. For instance, the maximum elongation of CHCS-PAAM is noted to reach 259.6% after soaking in the ferric chloride solution for 15 min. Simultaneously, the coordination between the metal ions and catechol declines the superior adhesion nature of catechol. Due to the addition of metal ions, the conductivity of the double network hydrogels may also change. The insights into the effect of metal ions on the mechanical properties of the catechol double network hydrogels can help in developing the wearable skin sensors with a superior detection ability.

Performance Evaluation of Ultra-Violet Light and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Synthetic Petroleum Wastewater: Kinetics of COD Removal.

In this study, the use of ultra-violet (UV) light with or without iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for the degradation of synthetic petroleum wastewater was investigated. The IONPs was synthesised by sodium borohydride reduction of ferric chloride solution and was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), x-ray fluorescence spectrophotometry (XRF), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The amount of degradation was evaluated by chemical oxygen demand (COD) determination. Experimental results show that the COD removal from synthetic petroleum wastewater by IONPs/UV system was more effective than they were independently. The combination of UV light at a wavelength of 254 nm, pH of 8, and 1.0 g of IONPs resulted in COD removal from 10.5% up to 95.5%. The photocatalytic degradation of synthetic petroleum wastewater is about 1.3–2.0 times faster in comparison to UV light only. The removal of COD from synthetic petroleum wastewater by UV light and IONPs follows the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with rate constant k ranging from 0.0133 min−1 to 0.0269 min−1. Consequently, this study has shown that the use of UV light in the presence of IONPs is favourable and effective for the removal of organic pollutants from petroleum refinery wastewater.

БИОФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ ВЫБОРА ОСНОВЫ КАРАНДАШЕЙ ЛЕКАРСТВЕННЫХ РАНОЗАЖИВЛЯЮЩЕГО ДЕЙСТВИЯ

Damage to the skin is quite common in everyday life of a person and represents a loss of the integrity of the protective barrier of the skin, which can create conditions for the development of a local inflammatory process, as well as for the penetration of pathogens of various diseases into the human body. In order to more quickly restore the damaged area of the skin, it is important to accelerate wound healing through the use of combined drugs, including antiseptics and biologically active substances of natural origin, stimulating the natural local regenerative process. One of such rational combinations is the combination of chlorhexidine bigluconate and Japanese Sophora fruit liquid extract in the composition of the wound-healing preparation. Medicinal sticks are presented as the most rational dosage form for a wound-healing drug of the specified composition. The application of this dosage form to the treated surface leads to the formation of a thin, firmly adhering film, which evenly releases the active substances and protects the wound from external influences. The indicated positive properties of medicinal pencils are achieved due to the selection of a rational component composition of excipients with a set of necessary characteristics, among which the most significant is the ability to provide optimal release of active substances. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to conduct comparative biopharmaceutical studies to optimize the component composition of medicinal pencils with wound healing action containing chlorhexidine bigluconate and liquid extract of sophora fruit. The objects of research were Japanese Sophora fruits harvested in 2020 in the Krasnodar Territory that meet the requirements of regulatory documents; substance-solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate 20%; auxiliary substances of lipophilic and hydrophilic nature: solid paraffin, beeswax, cocoa butter, anhydrous lanolin, polyethylene oxide-400, polyethylene oxide-1500. To assess the degree of release of active substances from experimental compositions, the method of diffusion into agar was used, based on the diffusion of active substances from the dosage form into an agar gel containing a solution of ferric chloride as an indicator. It was found that the most suitable combination of auxiliary components of the dosage form, providing the best release of active substances, is a combination including solid paraffin (20 parts), beeswax (20 parts), anhydrous lanolin (20 parts), polyethylene oxide-1500 (10 parts), polyethylene oxide-400 (20 parts).

Comparison of Stress Corrosion Cracking of High-Chromium Stainless Steels

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper NACE 2020-14695, “Comparison of Stress Corrosion Cracking Behavior of Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-Based High-Chromium Stainless Steels in High-Pressure/High-Temperature CO2 Environments,” by Yameng Qi, Zhonghua Zhang, and Chunxia Zhang, Baoshan Iron and Steel, prepared for the 2020 NACE International Corrosion Conference and Exposition, Houston, 14–18 June. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys in high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) carbon dioxide (CO2) environments was investigated through slow-strain-rate tests (SSRTs) and electrochemical methods. The results show that a remarkable decrease in tensile strength and elongation to failure was observed when testing in a CO2 environment compared with that of air. Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys possessed better SCC resistance than Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys. The better SCC resistance of the former could be attributed to good repassivation capacity and pitting-corrosion resistance induced by the increase in chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) content. Introduction When service temperature exceeds 150°C, SCC resistance of Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys could become an issue. Compared with Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys, 22Cr duplex stainless steel has an excel-lent performance when exposed to temperatures over 150°C and stable SCC resistance in HP/HT CO2 environments. However, the cost of 22Cr duplex stainless steel is extremely high. Experimental Procedure Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys were produced by the authors’ research institute. The materials were in a quenched and tempered state. For micrographic observation, each specimen was ground with 2,000-grit carbide silicon paper and polished with 1.2-µm diamond paste. They were then degreased with acetone and etched with hydrochloric ferric chloride solution (a mixture of 5-g ferric chloride, 25-mL hydrochloric acid, and 25-mL ethanol). The steel microstructures were characterized using an optical micro-scope. The micrograph in Fig. 1a for the F-13Cr5Ni-based alloys shows a martensite phase with no notable second phases. Fe17Cr5.5Ni alloys possess long strip ferrite and martensite phases (Fig. 1b). For SSRTs, smooth tensile specimens with a gauge length of 25.4 mm and a diameter of 3.81 mm were prepared. The specimens were cut from the Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys into an 8-mm-thick, 12-mm-outer- diameter disc for electrochemical measurement. All specimens were polished to a 1,200-grit surface finish, degreased with acetone, cleansed with distilled water, and dried in air. SSRT and electrochemical-measurement procedures are detailed in the complete paper. Results SCC Susceptibility. As expected, tensile strength and elongation to failure of Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys deteriorated in HP/HT CO2 environments. Compared with an environment of air, the elongation to failure of Fe13Cr5Ni- and Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys in HP/HT CO2 environments decreased by approximately 30 and 25%, respectively. In addition, tensile strength and elongation to failure of Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys were greater than those of Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys. Elongation, reduction in area, and time to failure of Fe17Cr5.5Ni-based alloys were found to be much higher than that of Fe13Cr5Ni-based alloys in HP/HT CO2 environments. It can be concluded that Fe17Cr5.5Ni alloys possess better SCC resistance than Fe13Cr5Ni alloys in these environments.

Cost-effective Clean Electrochemical Preparation of Ferric Chloride and its Applications

In this investigation, a green, cost-effective clean electrochemical process for preparing a highly concentrated ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution has been proposed. Many operating conditions, affected the used anodic dissolution process for FeCl3 production, were studied. Generating ferrous hydroxide electrochemically then dissolving it by hydrochloric acid and oxidized with chlorine free mixed oxidant, were proceeded steps to reach the production of our target ferric chloride. It is a green, clean, and novel process because it is environmentally and industrial safer than the traditional production technology. The most important studied experimental variables were applied like applied current density, sodium chloride concentration, electrolyte pH, at the most controlling operating parameter which is optimum electrolysis time. Experimental results revealed that optimum current density was 300 mA/cm2; using 30gm/L saline solution, electrodes gap distance 5 cm, and stirring rate 150 rpm at pH 6.5 for 270 minutes, respectively. At these optimal operating parameters, 40% FeCl3 concentration can be prepared to consume 202 watts/liter of high quality with low capital, & operating costs. The economic indicators show that the running cost of production of 40% ferric chloride solution using the proposed cleaner electrochemical production technology will be 241.66$/ton and the suggested price is 450$/ton with a net profit of 156$ with high cash flow using the proposed green technology. The proposed methodology for FeCl3 production reviews the importance of using cleaner production and sustainable development indicators.

Mechanism for the formation of magnetite iron oxide nanostructures by Ficus carica dried fruit extract using green synthesis method

The green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles is a convenient, inexpensive, rapid, and ecofriendly method compared to traditional synthesis methods. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with appropriate nanosized exhibit many interesting properties that can be exploited in a variety of biomedical applications. In this regard, we have synthesized magnetite iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanostructures from ferric chloride solution in aqueous extracts of Ficus carica dried fruit. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer (UV–Vis). The XRD study revealed the magnetite structure. FE-SEM results showed various nanoshapes (nanoparticles, nanowires and nanoellipsoids) at different volumetric ratios (1:0.5, 1:0.75, and 1:1) of ferric chloride and extract solution, respectively. At higher concentration of solute, the process of agglomeration started, and the amorphous film is formed. UV–Vis spectroscopy showed the absorption peaks at 220 nm and 302 nm. Chemical composition analysis confirmed the presence of magnetite. Mechanism for the formation of various nanostructures was discussed on the basis of classical nucleation theory. The smaller critical nuclei favor the formation of spherical magnetite nanoparticles at lower concentration. By increasing the concentration, size of the critical nuclei increases resulting in the formation of amorphous film.

Simultaneous adsorption of Cr(VI) and phenol by biochar-based iron oxide composites in water: Performance, kinetics and mechanism

The pollution of heavy metals and organic compounds has received increased attention in recent years. In the current study, a novel biochar-based iron oxide composite (FeYBC) was successfully synthesized using pomelo peel and ferric chloride solution through one-step process at moderate temperature. Results clearly demonstrate that FeYBC exhibited more efficient removal of Cr(VI) and/or phenol compared with the pristine biochar, and the maximum adsorption amounts of Cr(VI) and phenol by FeYBC could reach 24.37 and 39.32 mg g−1, respectively. A series of characterization data suggests that several iron oxides such as Fe2O3, Fe0, FeOOH and Fe3O4 were formed on the FeYBC surface as well as oxygen-containing groups. Thermodynamics study indicates that Cr(VI) and phenol adsorption by FeYBC were endothermic and exothermic processes, respectively. Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second order models could better explain the Cr(VI) and phenol adsorption behaviors over FeYBC. The Cr(VI) adsorption might be primarily achieved through the ion exchange and surface complexation and reduction, whereas the π–π interaction and electron donor–acceptor complex mainly contributed to phenol adsorption. The findings indicate that the biochar-based iron oxide composites material was an efficient adsorbent for the remediation of industrial effluents containing Cr(VI) and phenol.

Evaluation of Restorative Techniques for Vertically Fractured Roots.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of combining specific adhesive materials and various surface treatments on bonding durability and microleakage of vertically fractured roots. Adhesive models were prepared using bovine lower incisors. The experiment included the following five groups: SB-G group (control) (10% citric acid with 3% ferric chloride solution (10-3 solution) + an adhesive resin cement (4-META/MMA-TBB; Super-Bond®)), EC group (self-cure bonding agent (UB) + core composite resin (EC)), EC-G group (10-3 solution + UB + EC), EC-P group (40% phosphate solution + UB + EC), and EC-E group (18% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution + UB + EC). After applying a load of 50,000 cycles, microleakage, microtensile bond strength (μTBS), and failure modes were examined. Microleakage of the EC, EC-G, and EC-E groups was significantly lower than that of the EC-P group. The μTBS of the EC-G group was significantly higher than that of the other groups. All EC groups showed that mixed (cohesive and adhesive) and adhesive failures were the most prevalent types of failure modes. The EC-G group showed the highest bonding durability and the lowest microleakage results, which indicates a possible alternative to current adhesive and tooth surface treatments.

Extraction of Iron(III) from Nickel Chloride Solutions by Mixtures of Aliphatic Alcohols and Ketones

ABSTRACT The article presents studies on the extraction of iron from chloride solutions with aliphatic alcohols, ketones, and their mixtures. Dilution of 1-octanol with an inert aromatic diluent to a concentration of 80 vol.% led to an increase in its extraction capacity, while the extraction capacity of 2-octanone has decreased with dilution. A synergistic effect was found for a 1-octanol/2-octanone mixture, the maximum of extraction was observed at a ketone concentration of 80 vol.%. The effect of a mixture composition and chloride ion concentration on the iron extraction degree was studied. McCabe-Thiele results indicated that at Fe(III) concentration in the aqueous phase 9.32 g∙dm−3, it is possible to extract iron(III) quantitatively using a mixture of alcohols C8+C10 (70 vol.%) and 2-undecanone (30 vol.%) after three extraction stages. Stripping of Fe(III) from the mixture was done with distilled water. After the stripping, the loaded Fe(III) concentration in the organic phase was reduced from 27 g∙dm−3 to <0.001 g∙dm−3 for 3 stages. The conditions were tested in continuous mode at a cascade of laboratory extractors. During the tests on the cascade, the low solubility of the mixture of ketone with alcohol was established, and the concentrated solution of ferric chloride was obtained.

Tuning the ion exchange behavior of cesium and strontium on sodium iron titanate

The sodium iron titanate (NaFeTiO) ion exchanger was synthesized by the hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthotitanate and ferric chloride solution using sodium hydroxide. The amount of Fe3+ present in the solution was varied to obtain different Ti/Fe mole ratios in the product ranging from 5 to 15. The ion exchanger obtained was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetry, SEM-EDX analysis and elemental composition. The ion exchange behavior of Cs+ and Sr2+ on sodium iron titanate was studied as a function of aqueous phase pH, equilibration time, initial concentration of Cs+ and Sr2+ and presence of interfering ions in aqueous phase. The rate of ion-exchange of Cs+ and Sr2+ was best fitted into pseudo-second order rate equation. Similarly, the loading behavior of Cs+ and Sr2+ on NaFeTiO and the data obtained were fitted into various adsorption models such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevitch adsorption isotherms. From the statistics of the fitting, it was found that the experimental isotherm was explained well by Langmuir adsorption model. The ion-exchange capacity of 127, 115, 95 mg.g−1 for Cs+ and 86,128,169 mg.g−1 for Sr2+ were obtained on NaFeTiO with Ti/Fe mole ratios 5, 10, and 15 respectively. The results showed that the selectivity of NaFeTiO can be tuned either for Sr2+ exchange by keeping higher Ti/Fe mole ratio or for Cs+ exchange by keeping lower Ti/Fe mole ratio. In view of this, NaFeTiO compound can be regarded as the potential candidate for separating cesium or strontium selectively from alkaline wastes.
