RESUMEN
New carbon-doped ferric zinc oxide sorbents were fabricated to capture the environment carcinogen tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNA) efficiently in solution, following new adsorption model of electrostatic attraction instead of traditional geometric constraints. The influence of ferric content on the structure-property of the sorbents was systemically studied with XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and SEM methods combined with the adsorption of TSNA in different solutions. New sorbent captured 99% of 4-methylnitrosamino-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone (NNK) in simulated surface water and 40% of TSNA in the tobacco extract solution, more than activated carbon or zeolites. Ferric ZnO sorbent took about 15â¯min to reach the adsorption equilibrium in the NNK or Pb(â ¡) solution, faster than NaZSM-5 zeolite. Moreover, the adsorbed NNK on ferric ZnO sorbent decomposed at mild conditions for the first time, providing a new way to control environment pollution.

The high-efficiency capture of Tobacco Specific Nitrosamines by Hß zeolite in solution is reported for the first time, along with the adsorption of 4-methylnitrosamino-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone in aqueous solution. Different from other zeolites such as NaZSM-5, the specific pore size of Hß exerted a crucial function endowing the zeolite a higher removal of TSNA and selectivity of NNK. The adsorption thermodynamics of NNK by Hß in aqueous adsorption was fitted to Temkin adsorption model with a linearly decreasing isosteric heat of adsorption. In addition, the adsorptive capacity of Hß zeolite for NNK reached over 70 mg g-1, offering a powerful sorbent of TSNA to protect environment.

New shape-selectivity of graphene-based materials was discovered on this article. To explore the new selectivity, the structure and surface state of graphene and carbon nanotube were examined firstly, and their specific selectivity was verified and was compared with that of ZSM-5 zeolite in aqueous solutions of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNA) along with dyes. These two adsorbents trapped about 55% and 70% of 4-methylnitrosamino-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone (NNK) but only 3% of N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in solution, having an obvious selectivity for the former, due to its stronger interaction with graphene. NNK on graphene sheet obtained more electrons (0.015 e) and owned larger adsorption energy (15.63 kcal mol-1) than that of NNN (0.003 e, 9.19 kcal mol-1), according to theoretical calculation and FTIR results. More 95 or 136 mg g -1 acid red 88 than methyl orange was captured by graphene or carbon nanotube, demonstrating this special and abnormal selectivity again. With new selectivity, graphene showed a higher capacity (6.9%) and shorter adorption equilibrium time (5 min) for TSNA than the typical selecive sorbent ZSM-5 zeolite (1.7% and 20 min) in tobacco solution but kept the similar selctivity to NNK, paving a new way to control the carcinogens like TSNA in environment.
