Fabrication of core-shell Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) magnetic microspheres for the removal of Cr(VI) in aqueous solution

摘要

Facile regeneration of an adsorbent is very important for commercial feasibility. One typical highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials based on MIL-100(Fe) and magnetic iron oxide particles (denoted as MMCs) with diameter about of 350 nm were successfully synthesized. The growth of MIL-100(Fe) shell on the surface of Fe3O4 was utilized precursor as crystal seed via in-situ step hydro thermal reaction. It is a simple way to obtain well organized core-shell MOF composites, compared to the step-by-step method. MMCs were firstly used to uptake of Cr(VI) anions in aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were carried out in batch sorption mode investigating with the factors of contact time (0-1000 min), pH (from 2 to 12), dose of adsorbent (4-25 mg), and initial Cr(VI) concentration (range from 10 to 100 ppm).
