Abstract
Trace Hg2+ posed a serious threat to water safety. However, adsorption materials that can remove low concentration of mercury from water are still needed to be developed. In this work, amino-functionalized HKUST-1(Fe) with mesopores structure was synthesized by a one-pot method for the adsorption of trace mercury in the aqueous environment. Favorable pore conditions were beneficial for the diffusion of Hg2+. The doping of Fe3+ improved the stability of the material, effectively inhibited the original metal ion leaching by 85.54 % decrease. In addition, NH2-BDC, and EDTA introduced nitrogen-containing groups to provide numerous active sites which captured Hg2+ specifically. Under optimal conditions, based on the changes in the binding energies of -NH-and O-C=O, HKUST(Fe)-NH2@EDTA removed 95.45 % of Hg2+ (the initial concentration as low as 10 μg L−1) within 10 min, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1206.62 mg/g. After four adsorption-desorption cycles, it was still capable of removing 85.94 % of Hg2+ with regeneration performance. Combined with the excellent selectivity and anti-interference, the composited realized the removal of Hg2+ in real water samples, which meet the drinking water standards. This study provided a theoretical basis for the rapid and efficient adsorption of trace mercury in water by novel nanomaterials.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
