Solid-Phase Extraction of Pb (II) Ions Based on L-Cysteine Functionalized Fe3O4/SiO2 Core-Shell Nanoparticles

Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 142, Issue 11

Abstract

A paramagnetic solid-phase nanoextractant, L-Cysteine functionalized Fe3O4/SiO2 (FSAC), was assembled for separating Pb2+ from wastewater. L-Cysteine molecules were fixed on the surface of Fe3O4/SiO2 nanoparticles by aminopropyl-silane. The properties of the nanoextractant were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was shown that FSAC particles are sphere-like, are 20 nm in size, and have good paramagnetic properties. The FSAC nanoextractant shows good adsorption, excellent adsorption kinetics, wide acidic resistance, and high saturated adsorption capacity beyond 234mg·g1, reached within 30 min. The applied nanoextractant can be completely recovered in a 1.0-M HCl/0.5% thiourea mixing solution within 5 min, but maintain over 92% adsorption when recycled 6 times.
