Abstract
Effective and selective recovery of precious metal silver (Ag(I)) from wastewater can promote resource recycling and mitigate environmental pollution. In this study, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based hybrid polymer (DPHP) was synthesized and employed for the adsorption of Ag(I) from aqueous solution. The obtained adsorbent was characterized using SEM-EDS, XPS, solid-state 13C NMR, and 29Si NMR spectra. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption performance of DPHP for Ag(I). The results revealed that the maximum adsorption capacity of DPHP for Ag(I) was 494.65 mg g−1 at pH 4, and the adsorption process could be well described by pseudo-second-order and Sips models. Thermodynamic studies implied the adsorption of Ag(I) was an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process in nature. Adsorption and desorption experiments demonstrated that the regeneration efficiency of DPHP remained above 83 % after five cycles and the preconcentration factor of DPHP was determined to be 125. Furthermore, DPHP exhibited selectivity to Ag(I) in solutions containing a variety of competitive metal ions and simulated industrial wastewater. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, as well as XPS, FTIR, and Raman analyses, the interaction between Ag(I) and DPHP involved electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, and coordination, with the coordination mainly between thioether and carboxy groups and Ag(I) ions. Overall, DPHP is a promising adsorbent for the recovery of Ag(I) from aqueous solutions.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
