Study of Lignin-Modified Silica Gel Adsorption after Association with Six Different Organophenylmercuric Compounds in

Abstract:
In this study, the adsorption of lignin-modified silica gel after association with six different organophenylmercuric compounds in chloroform was investigated. Adsorption reached approximately 90% of the maximum value within 15 min. The adsorption capacity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and interaction simulation results indicated that the adsorption proportion resulted from the strong dipole-dipole interaction between the lignin and analyte molecules, and was considered to be size- and structure-dependent. However, the π-π complexation interaction arising from the acidic aromatic moiety of the analyte, which was significant in an apolar environment, was not the major force responsible for the resulting adsorption. Additives, such as acid or ether, which competed with the analyte for the binding site on the lignin molecule, were not beneficial to the interaction, and thus not beneficial to the adsorption processes.
