Multi-functionalized basic immobilized amine sorbents for removal of metal contaminants from wastewater

Patent Gray, McMahan L. ; Kail, Brian W. ; Wilfong, Walter Christopher ; ...

This disclosure provides polyamine sorbent compositions for the separation of metals from aqueous solutions. The polyamine sorbent compositions comprise a silica support, an aminosilane bound to the silica support, an epoxysilane bound to the silica support, and a polyamine where the polyamine is chemically tethered onto a solid silica support through via the epoxysilane. The polyamine may be further stabilized within the bulk sorbent through hydrogen bonding interactions with the aminosilane. The sorbent compositions resist leaching by H₂O in an aqueous stream containing heavy oxyanion-based (and other) metals and demonstrate stability over a pH range of 2-14. The sorbent compositionsmore »« less

Stable immobilized amine sorbents for removal of an organic contaminate from wastewater

Patent Gray, McMahan L. ; Kail, Brian W. ; Wang, Qiuming ; ...

The present disclosure relates to a method for the removal of organic contaminates from wastewater. The method comprises contacting wastewater comprising water and an organic contaminate with a basic immobilized amine sorbent, where the basic immobilized amine sorbent comprises a polyamine bound to an inorganic support via a linker, such that contacting the wastewater causes at a least a portion of the organic contaminate to bind to the basic immobilized amine sorbent.

Amine Sorbents for Selective Recovery of Heavy Rare‐Earth Elements (Dysprosium, Ytterbium) from Aqueous Solution

Journal Article Wang, Qiuming ; Kail, Brian W. ; Wilfong, Walter C. ; ... - ChemPlusChem

Abstract The supply shortages of rare‐earth elements (REEs) necessitate low‐cost and efficient processes for the recovery of valuable REE commodities. A covalently anchored polyethylenimine‐epoxysilane‐silica sorbent was prepared by simple wet impregnation and engineered to afford selective separation of REEs into heavy and light element groups. Remarkably, the sorbent allowed the cyclic recovery of >80 % of ppb‐level REEs and around 0 % of the ppm‐level Na, Mg, Ca from acid mine drainage solution, thus highlighting the applicability of the sorbent for concentrating REEs from practical waste streams. Moreover, the sorbent is promising for pre‐concentration of 7.6 wt% REEs, exceeding the U.S. Department ofmore »« less

Steam-Stable Basic Immobilized Amine Sorbent Pellets for CO₂ Capture Under Practical Conditions

Journal Article Wilfong, Walter Christopher ; Kail, Brian W. ; Howard, Bret H. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Pelletization of basic immobilized amine sorbent (BIAS) particles is required to improve their mechanical strength and facilitate their practical CO₂ capture application under fixed or dynamic reactor conditions. Herein, we utilized two methods to prepare amine-functionalized BIAS pellets. Method (ii-a) involved combining latex polychloroprene (PC)/polyamine solutions with fly ash (FA)/BIAS powder to form sorbent pellets. Alternatively, method (ii-b) entailed shaping and drying wet pastes of binder solution plus FA/SiO₂ powder into pellet supports. These supports were then functionalized with leach-resistant polyethylenimine MW = 800 (PEI₈₀₀)/N-N-diglycidyl-4-glycidyloxyaniline (tri-epoxide cross-linker, E3) or ethylenamine E100/E3 mixtures. All pellets were screened for CO₂ capture bymore »« less

Fractionation of critical metals from authentic acid mine drainage using a multi-bed immobilized amine sorbent setup: A field site study

Journal Article Wilfong, Walter C. ; Wang, Qiuming ; Howard, Bret ; ... - Journal of Water Process Engineering

Here for the first time reported, a flow-through multi-fixed bed immobilized amine/silica sorbent strategy was employed to fractionate purified critical metals from authentic acid mine drainage (AMD). The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) patent-pending Multi-functional Sorbent Technology (MUST) sorbents were used to recover critical metals from AMD at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden (Pittsburgh, PA USA). By adjusting the AMD/sorbent ratio, we recovered > 80% of pure adsorbed Mn (by adsorbed metal weight) and >90% pure adsorbed Al at lab-scale. Further optimizing the weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) enhanced the rate of adsorbed Al recovery bymore »« less
