Application Research of Novel Functional Materials for Trace Antimony and Cobalt Element Detection in Environmental Water Samples
摘要
This research introduces two novel materials for detecting trace antimony and cobalt in water. Material 1, combining polyvinyl alcohol and thioacetic acid, works with a spectrophotometer for Sb detection. Material 2, modified hydroxyethyl cellulose with sodium hydroxide, targets Co. Both materials show high adsorption capacities (232.56 μg/mg for Sb, 204.08 μg/mg for Co) and follow Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetics, suggesting efficient single-layer chemical adsorption. The study achieved optimal adsorption at pH 6 for Sb and pH 5 for Co. Using solid phase extraction, the materials concentrated Sb and Co from solutions at specific flow rates, with subsequent elution using 10% phosphoric acid. The process demonstrated low relative standard deviations (RSDs) for removal and recovery rates, indicating precision and high average recovery rates (97.42% for Sb, 57.14% for Co). The method proved simple, sensitive, and reproducible technique for environmental water analysis.
