Adsorption removal of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol from wastewater by metal-organic framework Cr-BDC
In the present paper, a metal-organic framework Cr-BDC was prepared and used as adsorbent for adsorption ofo-nitrophenol (ONP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) from aqueous solutions. Cr-BDC was characterized by scanningelectron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and BET methods....

Summary: | In the present paper, a metal-organic framework Cr-BDC was prepared and used as adsorbent for adsorption ofo-nitrophenol (ONP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) from aqueous solutions. Cr-BDC was characterized by scanningelectron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and BET methods. The results indicatethat Cr-BDC gets a very large specific surface area of4128 m2·g^-1 and pore sizes are concentrated in I nm, whichis a benefit for using for wastewater treatment, The influences of the adsorption conditions, such as temperature,solution concentration, adsorption time and reusability on adsorption performance were investigated. Cr-BDCexhibited an encouraging uptake capacity of 310.0 mg·g^-1 for ONP, and adsorption capacity of Cr-BDC forONP is significantly higher than that for PNP under suitable adsorption conditions. The characterizations ofadsorption process were examined with the Lagergren pseudo-first-order, the pseudo-second-order kineticmodel, and the intra-particular diffusion model. Kinetics experiments indicated that the pseudo-second-ordermodel displayed the best correlation with adsorption kinetics data. Furthermore, our adsorption equilibriumdata could be better described by the Freundlich equation. The results indicate that the as-prepared Cr-BDC ispromising for use as an effective and economical adsorbent for ONP removal. |
