Abstract
The composite of natural minerals with MOFs represents a promising strategy for developing novel and efficient adsorbents in water pollution treatment. In this study, polydopamine was coated on diatomite (D/P), and then Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) was loaded on D/P by a facile one-step solvothermal method to prepare multi-functional composite materials (D/P/Z). Finally, the adsorption properties of D/P/Z on anionic pollutants such as methyl orange dye (MO) and nano polystyrene (NPS) plastics were investigated. The results showed that under favorable conditions, the adsorption rates of MO and NPS by D/P/Z4 reached 98.82 % and 91.53 % respectively within 5 min. Meanwhile, D/P/Z4 exhibited excellent recyclability, maintaining an adsorption rate of MO higher than 50 % even after 10 cycles. Electrostatic interaction was the key factor contributing to the high adsorption capacity of D/P/Z4. Moreover, the incorporation of polydopamine not only enhanced the stability and uniformity of ZIF-8 loading on the diatomite surface but also further improved the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. This study provides a new way to fabricate a composite based on diatomite and a rapid and efficient solution for adsorbing anionic pollutants such as MO and NPS in water.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
