What is Ultrafast removal of ppb levels of Hg(II) and volatile Hg(0) using post modified metal organic framework about?

A novel MOF based adsorbent was prepared by functionalization of MIL 88A with mercapto ethanol to yield MIL88A-SH and evaluated for the removal of Hg(II) in water and Hg(0) in air. The prepared MOFs were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and zeta X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). The reaction rate was found to be very fast and within 15 min 95.5% Hg(II) was removed. The kinetics data followed pseudo second order model with rate constant values at 1.19 and 2.38 g/μg/min for MIl88A and MIL88A-SH respectively. A very high adsorption capacity in the order 1111.1 mg/g of Hg(II) was found using MIL88A-SH as adsorbent. The uptake was found to be constant in a wide range of pH from 5 to 9. Furthermore, in the presence other interfering metal ions, viz., Cu(II), As(V), Cd(II), Cr(VI), Pb(II), Zn(II), MIL88A-SH demonstrated an excellent adsorption for Hg(II). Around 45.6 mg/g of Hg(0) was found to be adsorbed by MIL88A-SH. XPS, FTIR and XRD studies suggested insitu oxidation Hg(0) to Hg(II) and complexation of Hg(II) with thiol groups
