Interaction of ZIF-8 with Cu2+ in Water Solutions for Remediation Applications

doi:10.21127/yaoyigc20230008

Abstract

Abstract: Water pollution is a global environmental problem and now more topical than ever. Among several pollutants, heavy metals are of particular interest due to their toxicity and high bioaccumulation capacity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are exceptional adsorbents for capturing metal ions in water. Between them, ZIF-8 has high sequestration capacity of copper ions in water, but the capture mechanism remains unclear. The scope of this work is to investigate the interaction of ZIF-8 with copper ions in aqueous solution at pH = 7, discriminating between effects due to water, copper and those resulting from their concomitant presence. Several samples were prepared dispersing a certain amount of ZIF-8 in an aqueous Cu²⁺ solution at a fixed concentration in the range between 0—300 mg/L. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, gas porosimetry, thermogravimetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were used to evaluate the structural features of the ZIF-8 before and after Cu²⁺ capture. Our results indicates that ZIF-8 is capable to capture high amounts of Cu²⁺, but in aqueous solution it undergoes a dissolution and reorganization process that affect its applications in simply powder form.

Key words: ZIF-8, water remediation, metal-organic frameworks, heavy metals, pollution
