PG - 122792 LID - S0304-3894(20)30781-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122792 [doi] AB - Through in situ encapsulation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and urea-functionalized SiO(2) nanoparticles in alginate hydrogel, two types of new functionalized microbeads, CTAB-SiO(2)@alginate (organophilic) and urea-SiO(2)@alginate (aminated), were produced. Their adsorption behavior toward multiple chlorophenols (CPs: e.g., 4-chlorophenol (MCP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP)) in petrochemical wastewater was assessed with the aid of Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array at three levels. In terms of the partition coefficient (PC: mumol/g.muM (or L/g)), the use of three-parameter models (hybrid Langmuir-Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson) yielded the best fit (R(2) approximately 1). Furthermore, the performance evaluation in terms of PC metric indicated that CTAB-SiO(2)@alginate (7.85 L/g) was better to treat total CPs than urea-modified SiO(2)@alginate microbeads (3.83 L/g). The enhanced performance of the former reflects the significant contribution of CTAB functionality (sp(2) carbon tail and quaternary amine (N(+)) cationic head sites) for accelerating uptake of molecular (or suspended) and ionizable CPs molecules (e.g., with the aid of salting-out effect at a high initial CPs concentration and salinity) via hydrophobic/electrostatic interactions. The high performance of the CTAB-SiO(2)@alginate was demonstrated against petroleum hydrocarbons, CPs, and phenol contaminants using real petrochemical wastewater (up to three reusable cycles).
