Abstract

The environmental toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of global concern, and adsorption is an efficient method to remove PFAS from water. Here, we prepared various novel fluorinated covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) under ionothermal synthesis using long nitrile-based monomers. The synthesis process of CTFs is a dynamic reversible reaction, in which the temperature and ZnCl2 ratio affecting the formation of N–based groups, pore size, and BET surface area of CTFs, substantially determining PFAS adsorption. The optimal CTF500-15 showed the best performance in perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal with a maximum experimental adsorption capacity of 323.39 mg/g, and could treat water contaminated with PFOA at an initial concentration of 1000 ng/L to 55.9 ng/L due to its suitable pore size, high quaternary N content and BET surface area. CTF500-15 also exhibited excellent performance in removing various mixed PFAS from simulated wastewater. A detailed mechanistic study of PFOA diffusion and the role of F atoms in the CTFs was conducted. A large pore size favors the diffusion of PFOA, the F atom and quaternary N can adsorb PFOA via fluorophilic attraction and ion exchange, respectively, which are the underlying mechanisms for the efficient removal of PFAS by fluorinated CTFs. The findings expand the idea of further refining and optimizing the CTFs structure for target pollutants.

高效去除水中全氟和多氟烷基物质的氟化共价三嗪框架:合成、性能和机理
全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)的环境毒性、生物蓄积性和持久性受到全球关注,吸附法是去除水中PFAS的有效方法。在这里,我们用长腈基单体在离子热合成下制备了各种新型氟化共价三嗪框架(CTFs)。CTFs的合成过程是一个动态可逆反应,其中温度和ZnCl2比影响CTFs的n基形成、孔径和BET表面积,实质上决定了PFAS的吸附。优化后的CTF500-15对全氟辛酸(PFOA)的去除效果最好,最大实验吸附量为323.39 mg/g,由于其合适的孔径、较高的季氮含量和BET比表面积,可以处理初始浓度为1000 ng/L ~ 55.9 ng/L的PFOA污染水。CTF500-15对模拟废水中各种混合PFAS也表现出优异的去除效果。对PFOA在CTFs中的扩散机理和F原子在CTFs中的作用进行了详细的研究。大孔径有利于PFOA的扩散,F原子和季氮分别通过亲氟吸引和离子交换吸附PFOA,这是氟化CTFs有效去除PFAS的潜在机制。这一发现拓展了进一步提炼和优化目标污染物CTFs结构的思路。

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.
