Abstract

2D hand-like structured ?-MoO3 porous nanosheets were grown in-situ onto a capillary by a simple hydrothermal route, on which titanium dioxide seed layer was sol-dip-coated in advance. The ?-MoO3 porous nanosheets array exhibits an exceptional lead ion uptake capacity up to 1450.0mg·g(-1), and can effectively reduce Pb(2+) concentration from 20mg·L(-1) to a low level of smaller than 3?g·L(-1), well below the acceptable limits in drinking water standards (10?g·L(-1)) and can efficiently remove 99.9% lead ion within a few minutes at room temperature. Furthermore, ?-MoO3 porous nanosheets array also has high selectivity toward Pb(2+) better than Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cr(3+) and Cd(2+). The mechanism for adsorption was discussed according to the results of Zeta potential, IR, XPS and XRD analyses. The excellent removal performance of the array to Pb(2+) is resulted from the electrostatic adsorption interaction and the formation of new species lead molybdate.

Lead

82 Pb 207.200000000 Lead

Lead Bohr ModelSee more Lead products. Lead (atomic symbol: Pb, atomic number: 82) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 207.2. The number of electrons in each of Lead's shells is [2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 4] and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2. The lead atom has a radius of 175 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 202 pm. In its elemental form, lead has a metallic gray appearance. Lead occurs naturally as a mixture of four stable isotopes: 204Pb (1.48%), 206Pb (23.6%), 207Pb (22.6%), and 208Pb (52.3%). Elemental LeadLead is obtained mainly from galena (PbS) by a roasting process. Anglesite, cerussite, and minim are other common lead containing minerals. Lead does occur as a free element in nature, but it is rare. It is a dense, soft metal that is very resistant to corrosion and poorly conductive compared to other metals. Its density and low melting point make it useful in applications such as electrolysis and industrial materials.

Molybdenum

See more Molybdenum products. Molybdenum (atomic symbol: Mo, atomic number: 42) is a Block D, Group 6, Period 5 element with an atomic weight of 95.96. Molybdenum Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of molybdenum's shells is [2, 8, 18, 13, 1] and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d5 5s1. The molybdenum atom has a radius of 139 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 209 pm. In its elemental form, molybdenum has a gray metallic appearance. Molybdenum was discovered by Carl Wilhelm in 1778 and first isolated by Peter Jacob Hjelm in 1781. Molybdenum is the 54th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Elemental MolybdenumIt has the third highest melting point of any element, exceeded only by tungsten and tantalum. Molybdenum does not occur naturally as a free metal, it is found in various oxidation states in minerals. The primary commercial source of molybdenum is molybdenite, although it is also recovered as a byproduct of copper and tungsten mining. The origin of the name Molybdenum comes from the Greek word molubdos meaning lead.
