文摘

The aim of this work was to investigate the aqueous mercury adsorption in a fixed bed of mesostructured silica SBA-15 functionalized with propylthiol by co-condensation (SBA-15-SH). Powdered synthesized adsorbents were used to prepare pellets with sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1?mm. The physicochemical properties determined from N2 adsorption and chemical analysis were compared for powder and pellets. Batch static experiments were carried out to obtain the equilibrium mercury adsorption isotherms, resulting that although the maximum adsorption capacity was reduced from powder to pellets, the materials maintained high efficiency for mercury removal even at very low aqueous metal concentration. Dynamic experiments were carried out in a fixed bed column by modifying the volumetric flow rate, bed length, inlet concentration, and amount of propylthiol groups incorporated to the adsorbent, and analyzing the temporal scale and the mercury adsorption capacities. The elution of the fixed bed was carried out chemically by circulating an aqueous 2?M hydrobromic acid stream for 2?h so achieving a complete recovery of the mercury previously adsorbed. Simplified dynamic equations of Bohart–Adams and Wolborska were used for modeling the breakthrough curves.
