Preparation of Highly Stable DUT-52 Materials and Adsorption of Dichromate Ions in Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: Highly stable DUT-52 materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and well-characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In order to systematically study the adsorption of dichromate ions in aqueous solution by the DUT-52 materials, a single factor experiment, kinetic experiment, thermodynamic experiment, competition ion experiment, and material regeneration experiment were designed. Based on the H-bond interaction between the dichromate ions and the H atoms of a NDC^2- ligand, the DUT-52 materials showed a maximum removal rate of 96.4% and a maximum adsorption capacity of 120.68 mg·g^-1 with excellent selective adsorption and material regeneration. In addition, the process of adsorption of dichromate ions by the DUT-52 materials is in accordance with the pseudo second-order kinetics and Langmuir models, and the adsorption mechanism and the important role of the H-bond interaction were reasonably explained using the XPS pattern and theoretical calculation. Accordingly, DUT-52 can be regarded as a multifunctional material for efficiently removing dichromate ions from the wastewater.
