Abstract
With the intensification of the heavy metal pollution burden, it is urgent to develop an adsorbent that can efficiently and selectively separate and capture heavy metal ions. In this work, a Zn-based triazole MOF was successfully prepared for efficient selective adsorption of Pb(II) (MOF-ZTN). The maximum uptake capacity of MOF-ZTN for Pb(II) can peak at 790 mg g−1, with selectivity coefficients (Ks) for Mg(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), and Co(II) being 2927, 1846, 4453, and 828, respectively, indicating that the material has a significant selective adsorption advantage for Pb(II). In the low concentration Pb(II) wastewater system, MOF-ZTN can also effectively remove more than 90 % of Pb(II) ions so that the treated wastewater quality can meet the requirements of relevant emission standards. Five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles confirm the recyclability of MOF-ZTN. The theoretical calculation elucidates that the synergistic capture of Pb(II) by the nitrogen atoms of three triazoles in MOF-ZTN is the key to its adsorption mechanism. In short, this study shows that MOF-ZTN exhibits significant potential in the efficient capture and separation of Pb(II) and provides a new theoretical basis for the application of MOFs within the domain of environmental protection.
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.
