Abstract
Efficient and convenient removal of hazardous unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) remains challenging for ecological security and human health. In this work, ZIF-8-derived magnetic porous carbons (FCZ@Cs) were synthesized via layer-by-layer self-assembly and pyrolysis using chitosan as an external carbon source. The optimal pyrolysis temperature of FCZ@Cs is 600 °C and the maximum adsorption capacity of FCZ@C-600 for UDMH is 185.70 mg/g at 298 K. Moreover, FCZ@C-600 has wide pH adaptability and good resistance to acid, natural organic matter, and interfering ions. UDMH adsorption onto FCZ@C-600 and ZIF-8-600 conforms to pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. Thermodynamic studies demonstrate that the adsorption performance is endothermic and favorable. Mechanisms investigations further identify electrostatic interactions, diffusion, and hydrogen/coordination bonds as the greatest contributors to UDMH adsorption. Notably, magnetic FCZ@C-600 can be readily separated by a magnet and exhibits high stability with an adsorption capacity of 42.05 mg/g after six cycles. Furthermore, the leaching concentration of Fe and Zn can be as low as 0.3 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L (pH ≥ 4), respectively. UDMH wastewater after adsorption also shows good biosafety. This work provides insights into the development of emerging metal-organic framework-derived adsorbents with multifunctionality and good sustainability for efficient wastewater treatment.
