Abstract:
Herein, the magnetic ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD composite was fabricated via post-synthetic decoration of MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD with ZVCo to produce a magnetic efficient adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal. The experimental findings denoted that the ZVCo decoration boosted the adsorption capability of MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD, where the adsorption % of Cr(VI) improved from 73.07 to 94.02% after its decoration with 10 wt% of ZVCo. Furthermore, the ZVCo decoration ameliorated the recycling feature of MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD since the removal % of Cr(VI) by MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD and ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD reached 27.24 and 84.98%, respectively. The optimization experiments of the Cr(VI) ions clarified that the higher adsorption % fulfilled 94.02% at pH = 3, using ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD dosage = 0.5 g/L, Cr(VI) concentration = 50 mg/L, and at room temperature. Notably, the concentration of the adsorbed Cr(VI) brings off the equilibrium stage within an hour, implying the fast adsorption property of ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD. The kinetic and isotherms assessments denoted the contribution of the physical and chemical adsorption pathways in adsorbing the Cr(VI) species onto ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD. In addition, the XPS spectra and zeta potential results supposed that the process inside the Cr(VI)/ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD system proceeded through reduction reaction, coordination bonds, electrostatic interactions, and pore-filling mechanisms.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
