Fe3+-bis-ethylenediamine complex bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica for the efficient removal of arsenate and chromate

Abstract The direct removal of arsenate (AsO43−) and chromate (CrO42−) from water were achieved using a Fe3+-bis-ethylenediamine complex-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica with a 20% organosilane content (Fe-EDPMO-20). The bridged Fe3+-bis-ethylenediamine complex was introduced to the pore wall of the PMO by combining the pre-complexation and co-condensation processes. N,N′-bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (TESEN) and tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) as silica precursors were used with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) as a surfactant under basic conditions for the preparation of highly ordered Fe-EDPMO-20. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements confirmed that the Fe-EDPMO-20 had an ordered hexagonal p6mm mesostructure. The material had a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 734 m2 g−1, pore diameter of 2.6 nm, and pore volume of 0.61 cm3 g−1. UV-vis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that Fe3+ was embedded in the coordination site by the nitrogen atoms from ethylenediamine. The adsorption efficiencies of arsenate and chromate ions by Fe-EDPMO-20 were examined as a function of pH, stirring time, amount of adsorbent, and initial concentration of metal ion solution. The maximum adsorption for arsenate and chromate were 156 and 102 mg g−1 within 6 and 24 h, respectively, at pH 4.
