Abstract
The thiosulfate gold extraction technology represents a typical non-cyanide method, which poses challenges in achieving high efficiency and cost-effective gold recovery. The present study involved the synthesis of a colorimetrically responsive granular polyacrylonitrile material (PANGbPEI-CS2) capable of effectively adsorbing Au(I) in thiosulfate solution. The results show that PANGbPEI-CS2 exhibits a colorimetric response to Au(I) in thiosulfate solution, with the observed visual color transitioning from pale yellow hue to orange. This phenomenon can be attributed to the conjugation plane extension on PANGbPEI-CS2 during Au(I) adsorption, resulting in a redshift of the absorption spectrum towards the visible region. The adsorption of gold in thiosulfate solution by PANGbPEI-CS2 follows the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, with the maximum loading capacity of 60.502 mg·g−1. The gold adsorption mechanism by PANGbPEI-CS2 involves ligand exchange, wherein gold forms a ring complex with the proximity or adjacency of S atoms on PANGbPEI-CS2. And the adsorption process is influenced by both the pH of the solution and the concentration of thiosulfate. The loaded gold on PANGbPEI-CS2 can be effectively desorbed with acid thiourea solution. This finding are instrumental in addressing the challenges associated with the recovery and rapid detection of gold in thiosulfate solution.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
