Abstract

Mercury (Hg) is a significant biologically toxic water pollutant. Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) possess high surface area, open structure, and high stability under harsh conditions. In this paper, PAF-11 was modified with oxime and thiourea groups, and the as-obtained oximide functionalized PAF-11 (PAF-11-C=NOH) and thiourea functionalized PAF-11 (PAF-11-TU) were employed for adsorption of Hg²⁺ in solution for the first time. It was found that the adsorption capacity of PAF-11-TU was twice that of PAF-11-C=NOH, and exhibited a equilibrium capacity of 428 mg g⁻¹ for Hg²⁺. The adsorption of PAF-11-TU could be well fitted with the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetics models, and displayed high anti-interference to co-existing metals, with a partial coefficient of 33,800 mL g⁻¹ for Hg²⁺, separation coefficients of 7935 and 3701 for Hg²⁺/Zn²⁺ and Hg²⁺/Cu²⁺ respectively. PAF-11-TU also showed good chemical stability and maintained removal rate of 91.62 % even after ten acid wash cycles. The excellent stability and preferential coordination of PAF-11-TU with Hg²⁺ indicate that PAF-11-TU is a suitable adsorbent for the removal of Hg²⁺ from water.
