Abstract
A triazine-hexamine (TAPEHA) polymer demonstrating high acid-resistance, good affinity to noble metals, and a high density of amine and triazine functional groups has been designed and synthesized. The obtained polymer was used as an adsorbent for the recovery of palladium (II) ions from chloride-containing solutions. Effects of pH, pCl, contact time, initial Pd(II) concentration, and temperature on adsorption were investigated and optimized by batch adsorption experiments. The pseudo second-order kinetic equation provides the best correlation for the process. While five isotherms were used, the nonlinear resolution of the Langmuir isotherm equation has been found to provide the closest fit to the equilibrium data. The monolayer adsorption capacity which is highest among literature is 517.2mg/g. All thermodynamic parameters suggest that Pd(II) adsorption onto TAPEHA particles is a spontaneous, physisorptive, and exothermic process. The formation of TAPEHA and Pd-adsorbed TAPEHA has been characterized by FE-SEM, EDAX, XRD, and FTIR instrumentations. Adsorption of the negatively charged chloropalladium (II) species mostly takes place via ligand exchange mechanism. Ease of synthesis and low cost, coupled with highly efficient and rapid removal of Pd(II) ions, make TAPEHA an attractive adsorbent.
