ABSTRACT
Adsorptive purification of organic dyes in wastewater is significant to protect the water environment. Herein, MIL-53(Al) was successfully fabricated through a facile and versatile solvothermal strategy. The stability of MIL-53(Al) under high temperature, acid, base, and peroxide conditions was investigated. The porous MIL-53(Al) had high chemical stability, and the thermal stability reached up to 500 °C, which provided a good foundation for dye removal. MIL-53(Al) showed excellent adsorption performance. The maximum adsorption capacity of MIL-53(Al) for rhodamine B (RhB) can reach 1547 mg g-1 under 303 K, and the corresponding removal efficiency exceeded 90% at the equilibrium time (120 min). The Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model can well fit RhB adsorption on MIL-53(Al). Thermodynamic study and activation energy values over the range of 298-323 K revealed that the adsorption of RhB was a spontaneous and endothermic physical process in nature. The batch experimental results, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses suggested that the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between the hydroxyl/carboxyl groups of MIL-53(Al) and RhB were the primary adsorption mechanisms. Besides, MIL-53(Al) had a higher selectivity to RhB than the coexisting ions in aqueous solution and a superior adsorption performance after five cycles.
