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.
汞(Hg)是一种重要的生物毒性水污染物。多孔芳香骨架具有比表面积大、结构开放、在恶劣条件下具有较高的稳定性等特点。本文采用肟基和硫脲基对PAF-11进行改性,得到的酰亚胺官能化PAF-11 (PAF-11- c =NOH)和硫脲官能化PAF-11 (PAF-11- tu)首次用于吸附溶液中的Hg2+。结果表明,PAF-11-TU对Hg2+的吸附容量是PAF-11-C=NOH的2倍,对Hg2+的吸附平衡容量为428 mg g−1。PAF-11-TU的吸附符合Langmuir和拟二级动力学模型,对共存金属具有较强的抗干扰能力,对Hg2+的偏系数为33,800 mL g−1,对Hg2+/Zn2+和Hg2+/Cu2+的分离系数分别为7935和3701。PAF-11-TU具有良好的化学稳定性,即使经过10次酸洗也能保持91.62%的去除率。PAF-11-TU与Hg2+良好的配位性和稳定性表明PAF-11-TU是去除水中Hg2+的理想吸附剂。
