Abstract
MimDES-ZIF-8 with rich active sites as positive charges and metal coordination sites were prepared based on imidazole based deep eutectic solvent (MimDES) using interface permeation method. 2-Methylimidazole (2-Mim) simultaneously acted as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) in MimDES (hydrogen donner was 1,6-hexanediol) and an organic ligand in MimDES-ZIF-8, affecting the coordination of ZIF-8 during permeation. Four different zinc salt solutions (ZnCl2, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, ZnSO4·7H2O) were permeated into MimDES to obtain MimDES-ZIF-8 with different morphologies. All MimDES-ZIF-8 had higher Zn/N ration (>0.25), specific surface area and surface positive charges. The dye adsorption results indicated that MimDES-ZIF-8 showed high adsorption efficiencies for acid fuchsin (all exceeded 97.75 % under pH 7.5) and a fast adsorption rate (exceeding 93 % in 5 min and reaching equilibrium in 60 min). Among MimDES-ZIF-8, the adsorption capacity of ZIF-8-C was 4845.3 mg/g. After five cycles of adsorption, the AF removal efficiency of ZIF-8-C remained over 93.23 %. Moreover, ZIF-8-C also had good adsorption capacity for anionic dyes CR, cationic dyes MB and BB. The adsorption process aligned well with both the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Based on FTIR, XPS, and electrostatic potential calculation, the adsorption mechanism was elucidated.
