ACS omega(2021)
摘要
Humic acid and l-cysteine-codecorated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (HA/LC-MNPs) were synthesized using a coprecipitation method. Humic acid fractions abundant with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups can be selectively coated on the surface of MNPs during synthesis. HA/LC-MNPs with abundant heteroatoms (N, S, and O) show excellent removal capacity, great selectivity, and also fast trapping of Hg2+ in a wide pH range. The adsorption capacity of HA/LC-MNPs for Hg2+ can reach 206.5 mg/g, and the chemisorption was attributed to the major adsorption form. In competitive adsorption, HA/LC-MNPs preferentially adsorbed Hg2+ with an affinity order of Hg2+ > > Pb2+ > Cu2+ ≫ Zn2+ > Cd2+. In total, 93.91% of Hg2+ can be quickly captured in the presence of a 6000 times higher concentration of competing metal ions (Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+) within 30 min. The adsorption mechanism was analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It suggested that the HA/LC-MNPs enhanced the adsorption capacity of Hg2+ because of the complexing abilities of the multiple thiol, amino, and carboxyl groups in sorbents with Hg2+, the ion exchange ability of the carboxyl group, and the negative charge surface. All in all, HA/LC-MNPs are a potentially useful and economic material for the selective removal of Hg2+ from polluted water.
