Abstract
With the sharp increase in electronic and electrical equipment as well as concomitant electronic waste, it is imperative to recover precious metals from secondary resources from the perspective of environment protection and sustainable development. Herein, a free-standing, dual-cross-linking polydopamine (PDA) in conjunction with poly(imide dioxime) (PIDO) porous membrane (denoted as PDA/PIDO) is fabricated via a facile interfacial polymerization method for gold recovery. As expected, the constructed PDA/PIDO membrane features a hierarchical porous structure, ample active sites, and excellent hydrophilicity, endowing it with an ultrahigh gold capture capacity (3368 mg g–1), fast equilibrium time (35 min), superior recovery selectivity (separation factor of Au/Cu = 5.4 × 105, Au/Ni = 3.9 × 105), high flux (1050 L m2 h–1), and high retention rate (98%). Furthermore, the proposed PDA/PIDO membrane is also competent for selective gold recovery from the central processing unit leachate with remarkable efficiency in a continuous-flowing filtration system, highlighting its huge potential in practical large-scale gold recovery from e-waste.
期刊介绍:
ACS ES&T Engineering publishes impactful research and review articles across all realms of environmental technology and engineering, employing a rigorous peer-review process. As a specialized journal, it aims to provide an international platform for research and innovation, inviting contributions on materials technologies, processes, data analytics, and engineering systems that can effectively manage, protect, and remediate air, water, and soil quality, as well as treat wastes and recover resources.
The journal encourages research that supports informed decision-making within complex engineered systems and is grounded in mechanistic science and analytics, describing intricate environmental engineering systems. It considers papers presenting novel advancements, spanning from laboratory discovery to field-based application. However, case or demonstration studies lacking significant scientific advancements and technological innovations are not within its scope.
Contributions containing experimental and/or theoretical methods, rooted in engineering principles and integrated with knowledge from other disciplines, are welcomed.
