Effective removal of cobalt from aqueous solution by Mn-MOF-74 synthesized using room-temperature, water-based synthesis method
摘要
A novel adsorbent, Mn-MOF-74, was synthesized using a room-temperature, water-based method by assembling Mn2+ metal nodes with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid ligands, and was further applied for Co2+ removal. Mn-MOF-74 exhibited minimal pH dependence within a pH range of 3–8.5, achieving Co2+ removal efficiencies between 92.5 and 96.3%, with a distribution coefficient of up to 2.9 × 104 mL·g−1. A function relationship between the Co2+ removal efficiency and the adsorbent dosage or initial concentration was proposed. The dominant removal mechanism was identified as ion exchange between Mn2+ and Co2+, with chemisorption being the primary rate-limiting step.
