Abstract
Cerium–copper-based binary metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), referred to as Ce-NH2-BDC/HKUST-1, abbreviated as CCB-MOFs, were synthesized using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 2-aminoterephthalic acid ligands for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The sharp and intense diffraction peaks confirm the crystalline nature of the CCB-MOF. The chemical structure and functional groups of CCB-MOF were examined through FT-IR analysis. The scanning electron microscope image of CCB-MOF shows a spherical morphology and indicates that Ce-MOF forms a layer on top of Cu-MOF. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirms the presence of metal nodes and organic linkers in the synthesized binary MOF. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis reveals that CCB-MOF possesses a surface area of 52.36 m2 g−1. The study on the adsorption properties of MB dye on CCB-MOF demonstrated that the optimum dye removal efficiency of approximately 98 % was achieved at pH 7, a minimal contact time of 60 min, and ambient temperature. The adsorption isotherm fitted the linear Langmuir isotherm model, and the kinetics of the adsorption was described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum MB dye adsorption capacity of CCB-MOF estimated by the Langmuir isotherm model was up to 172.41 mg g−1. The experimental results demonstrate that the adsorption of MB dye on CCB-MOF is primarily driven by electrostatic attraction between CCB-MOF and the MB dye. This study provides new insights into developing CCB-MOF-based adsorbents for recovering MB dye from aqueous solutions.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
