摘要

Selective adsorption of anions from aqueous solutions is essential to many industrial and remediation applications. A novel anion sorbent was developed using hybrid glycoboehmite (GB) synthesized from 1,4-butanediol and potassium hydroxide mineralizer. GB materials were further functionalized through Ni2+ adsorption from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity of GB for Ni2+ was found to be 2 to 5 times greater than that for Mg2+ or Ca2+, and 12 times higher than that of simple boehmite normalized to the surface area. Relative to GB, nickel-functionalized GB (Ni-GB) exhibits favorable adsorption properties for arsenate and iodide with much improved partitioning coefficient values (KD) of ~ 6400 and 43 mL/g respectively. Experimental characterization along with classical and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations offers insight into the ion adsorption mechanism.
