SBA-15 mesoporous materials functionalized with 2-acetylthiophene-derived Schiff’s base denoted as A-SBA-15, were synthesized for removal of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solution The adsorbent materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, TGA, EDXS, FTIR, 13C CP-MASNMR and XPS. Tests were then performed to study the adsorption of Cr(III) ions onto A-SBA-15 in batch systems. The maximum adsorption capacity of A-SBA-15 (114.2 mg/g) for Cr(III) ions was much higher than that of the pure SBA-15 (15.6 mg/g). The kinetics anal. revealed that the adsorption process was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir isotherm model was better fitted with the adsorption data for Cr(III) compared to the Freundlich isotherm model. Also, the Cr(III) adsorption onto A-SBA-15 is spontaneous, endothermic, and mainly chem. adsorption as shown by the study of various thermodn. parameters, such as, ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°. The characterization of A-SBA-15 materials before and after adsorption of Cr(III) ions showed that the chem. combination of the organic groups on A-SBA-15 and Cr(III) ions through coordination bond. The as-prepared A-SBA-15 materials could be reused in 5 successive recycles without significantly decreasing its adsorption capacity. Also, 4 batches of A-SBA-15 prepared at different synthesis times have the similar adsorption capacity. Besides, the adsorbent showed good selective separation of Cr(III) ion in the presence of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) ions. The good reproductivity, reusability and selectivity suggest that A-SBA-15 material can be used as a promising adsorbent for efficient removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3Electric Literature of C6H6OS)
1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3) belongs to thiophenes. Specialized thiophenes can be synthesized similarly using Lawesson’s reagent as the sulfidizing agent, or via the Gewald reaction, which involves the condensation of two esters in the presence of elemental sulfur. Another method is the Volhard–Erdmann cyclization. Electric Literature of C6H6OS
