Different routes of MgAl–LDH synthesis for tailoring the adsorption of Pb(II) pollutant from water

In this study, new adsorbents based on MgAl–LDHs were synthesized using combined precipitation (co-precipitation) route by modifying temperature and ageing time synthesis parameters, thus tailoring the adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ions from water. The synthesized materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and $\text{N}_2$ adsorption–desorption techniques, highlighting the specific lamellar structure of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), as well as the functional groups present on the adsorbent’s surface. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) ions was 1151.97 mg/g for the MgAl–LDH synthesized at 55 °C and aged for 24 h. Sorption of Pb(II) ions occurs not only through co-precipitation in the form of characteristic compounds, $\text{Pb(OH)}_2$, $\text{PbCO}_3$ or $\text{Pb}_3(\text{CO}_3)_2(\text{OH})_2$, but also by complexation with surface hydroxyl groups

Mesoporous silica functionalized with 1-furoyl thiourea urea for Hg(II) adsorption from aqueous media

International audienceNew organic–inorganic hybrid materials were prepared by covalently anchoring 1-furoyl thiourea on mesoporous silica (SBA-15). By means of various characterization techniques (X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, thermogravimetric analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy) it has been established that the organic groups were successfully anchored on the SBA-15 surfaces and the ordering of the inorganic support was preserved during the chemical modifications. The hybrid sorbents exhibited good ability to remove Hg(II) from aqueous solution. Thus, at pH 6, the adsorption capacity of mercury ions reached 0.61mmolg−1
