摘要

The adsorption kinetics of Au(III) on a novel chelating resin namely silica gel functionalized by an amino phosphonic acid (denoted as SiO2-EDA-APA) were studied. The results showed that SiO2-EDA-APA could reach its saturation adsorption capacity within 4 h, and its excellent adsorption capacity for Au(III) was 234.61 mg g(-1) when the initial solution concentration was 2.0 mmol L-1 at 35 degrees C. The adsorption kinetics of the as-synthesized hybrid adsorbent for Au(III) at different temperatures can be modelled closely by a pseudo second-order rate equation. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption, Delta G, Delta H and Delta S were -18.89 kJ mol(-1), 19.82 kJ mol(-1), and 125.74 J K-1 mol(-1), respectively. It can be concluded that the adsorption of Au(III) on SiO2-EDA-APA is a spontaneous, endotherminc process controlled by film diffusion, which results in its higher adsorption capacity at higher temperatures.
