    This study developed a novel hybrid sol-gel material for selective strontium (Sr2+) removal. The material efficiently captures Sr2+ even with competing ions present, offering a reusable solution for metal ion separation.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Inorganic Chemistry
    • Environmental Chemistry

    Background:

    • Crown ether ligands exhibit high affinity for specific metal ions, making them useful in separation processes.
    • Sol-gel methods offer versatile routes for synthesizing hybrid organic-inorganic materials with tailored properties.
    • Selective removal of strontium (Sr2+) is crucial in various applications, including nuclear waste management and environmental remediation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel hybrid organic-inorganic sol-gel material for the selective capture of Sr2+.
    • To investigate the efficiency of the encapsulated crown ether ligand in Sr2+ separation from complex solutions.
    • To assess the regenerability and reusability of the developed sol-gel sorbent.

    Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of hydrophilic SiO2 sol-gel matrix encapsulating the 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane-7,16-bis(malonate) ligand (Na4oddm).
  • Testing the selective removal of Sr2+ from aqueous solutions containing competing ions like Ca2+.
  • Evaluating the recovery of Sr2+ and regeneration of the sorbent using acidic solutions or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt.

    • Main Results:

    • The hybrid sol-gel material demonstrated highly selective removal of Sr2+, achieving 91.4 +/- 1.3% efficiency even in the presence of excess Ca2+.
    • The encapsulated Na4oddm ligand effectively sequestered Sr2+ within the SiO2 matrix.
    • The Sr2+-loaded sol-gel sorbent was successfully regenerated using acid or chelating agents, allowing for multiple cycles of Sr2+ uptake.

    Conclusions:

    • Hybrid organic/inorganic sol-gel materials incorporating encapsulated crown ether ligands provide an effective and selective method for Sr2+ removal.
    • This approach offers a promising alternative to traditional crown ether-based separation techniques like solvent extraction or grafted ligands.
    • The developed material exhibits excellent regenerability, highlighting its potential for sustainable metal ion separation applications.
