摘要

To efficiently separate Co (II) from aqueous solutions and address the issues of difficult recycling and insufficient adsorption performance of traditional adsorbents, this study used polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN/NFs) as the matrix and prepared an amino-functionalized adsorbent (PAN/NFs@NH2) via graft modification with triethylenetetramine (TETA). The structural characteristics and Co (II) adsorption performance of PAN/NFs@NH2 were investigated, and the material was characterized via SEM, EDS, FTIR, BET, XPS, and CA. PAN/NFs@NH2 exhibits advantages of easy recyclability, excellent physicochemical stability, and good hydrophilicity. Static adsorption experiments showed that the optimal conditions for Co(II) adsorption by PAN/NFs@NH2 are pH = 8 and a contact time of 12 h; under these circumstances, the equilibrium adsorption capacity reaches 48.30 mg/g, and the highest measured adsorption capacity is 158.29 mg/g (the Langmuir-fitted theoretical maximum capacity qm = 173.9 mg/g). The adsorption process follows the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model and is an endothermic and spontaneous process. PAN/NFs@NH2 exhibits selective adsorption for Co(II), with selectivity coefficients of 1.73, 156.5, and 194.1 for Ni(II), Li(I), and Mn(II). Following 5 adsorption–desorption cycles, its adsorption capacity still retains around 70% of the initial value. XPS analysis confirmed that the adsorption mechanism involves the formation of coordination bonds between Co (II) and nitrogen atoms in amino groups (-NH2, -NH-), where nitrogen atoms donate their lone pairs of electrons to Co (II). In conclusion, PAN/NFs@NH2 provides an efficient, stable, and easily recyclable fiber-based adsorbent for the treatment of Co (II)-containing wastewater.
