Pyridine-functionalized mesoporous silica was prepared via direct condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and N-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)isonicotinamide using the copolymer P123 as structure-directing agent, and employed as adsorbent for the removal of alizarin red S, reactive brilliant red X-3B and reactive yellow X-RG from waste water. The adsorption measurements showed that, due to the large surface areas and the high affinity of pyridine groups, the prepared adsorbents exhibit a high adsorption capacity and an extremely rapid adsorption rate for acid dyestuffs. Using the linear forms of Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson isotherms, the experimental equilibrium data were analyzed. It is found that the experimental data for the adsorption of alizarin red S and reactive brilliant red X-3B can fit the Langmuir isotherm, while the Freundlich model is very suitable for describing the adsorption behavior of reactive yellow X-RG. On the basis of the Langmuir analysis, the monolayer adsorption capacities were determined to be 143.8, 891.1 and 3369.3 mg of dye per gram of adsorbent for alizarin red S, reactive brilliant red X-3B and reactive yellow X-RG, respectively. Since the pyridine unit is known as a good ligand for various metal ions, a hydrogen-bonding donor as well as an organic base, pyridine-functionalized mesoporous silica should be a promising absorbent not only for acid dyestuffs, but also for other organic and inorganic pollutants.
以共聚物 P123 为结构引导剂,通过直接缩合四乙氧基硅烷(TEOS)和 N-(3-(三乙氧基硅烷基)丙基)异烟酰胺制备了吡啶功能化介孔二氧化硅,并将其作为吸附剂用于去除废水中的茜素红 S、活性艳红 X-3B 和活性黄 X-RG。吸附测量结果表明,由于吡啶基团具有较大的表面积和较高的亲和力,所制备的吸附剂对酸性染料具有较高的吸附容量和极快的吸附速度。利用 Langmuir、Freundlich 和 Redlich-Peterson 等温线的线性形式分析了实验平衡数据。结果发现,茜素红 S 和活性艳红 X-3B 的吸附实验数据能与 Langmuir 等温线相适应,而 Freundlich 模型则非常适合描述活性黄 X-RG 的吸附行为。根据 Langmuir 分析,茜素红 S、活性艳红 X-3B 和活性黄 X-RG 的单层吸附容量分别为每克吸附剂 143.8、891.1 和 3369.3 毫克染料。众所周知,吡啶单元是各种金属离子的良好配体、氢键供体和有机碱,因此吡啶功能化的介孔二氧化硅不仅可以吸附酸性染料,还可以吸附其他有机和无机污染物。
