Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived metal oxides/porous carbon nanocomposites were used as adsorbents to remove pollutants from wastewater. The adsorption performance of the metal oxides/porous carbon nanocomposites could be improved by introducing functional groups. In this study, hydroxyl-modified zirconia/porous carbon nanocomposite (C-UiO-66-OH) was prepared and tested, choosing carbamazepine as a typical pollutant. The results showed that the adsorption capacity (186.21 mg g−1) of C-UiO-66-OH was 6.96 times to that of normal UiO-66. The Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-first-order kinetic model was well fit the adsorption process. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorbent regeneration could be accomplished by washing C-UiO-66-OH with ethanol and DI water. The good adsorption/desorption performance comes from the synergistic effect of (EDA) interaction and hydrogen bond between C-UiO-66-OH and CBZ molecule. A membrane prepared by immobilizing C-UiO-66-OH into melamine foam (MF) with sodium alginate (SA) was also investigated for CBZ adsorption. The results indicated the excellent removal efficiency (86.0%) and good regeneration of the prepared membrane. Therefore, this paper provides an efficient and applicable way to remove CBZ from water.
