Removal of antimonite and antimonate from water using Fe-based metal-organic frameworks: The relationship between framework structure and adsorption performance

Add time:09/05/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

We investigated the adsorption performance of five Fe-based MOFs (Fe-BTC, MIL-100(Fe), MIL-101(Fe), MIL-53(Fe) and MIL-88C(Fe)) for removal of antimonite (Sb(III)) and antimonate (Sb(V)) from water. Among these MOFs, MIL-101(Fe) exhibited the best adsorption capacities for both Sb(III) and Sb(V) (151.8 and 472.8 mg/g, respectively) which were higher than those of most adsorbents previously reported. The effect of steric hindrance was evident during Sb removal using the Fe-based MOFs, and the proper diameter of the smallest cage windows/channels should be considered an important parameter during the evaluation and selection of MOFs. Additionally, the adsorption capacities of MIL-101(Fe) for Sb(V) decreased with increasing initial pH values (from 3.0 to 8.0), while the opposite trend was observed for Sb(III). Chloride, nitrate and sulfate ions had a negligible influence on Sb(V) adsorption, while NO3− and SO42− improved Sb(III) adsorption. This result implies that inner sphere complexes might form during both Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorption.
