Condensation of WO42- Polyhedra Units on Layered Rare Earth Hydroxides Nanosheets: Hierarchical Channels and Heavy Metal Adsorption
Solomon Omwoma
Porous materials exhibit advantages in adsorption applications due to their ability to increase accessibility, surface area and enhanced liquid/molecular/ion transport. Condensation of WO42- polyhedra units on delaminated europium containing layered rare earth hydroxide nanosheets, [Eu8(OH)20(H2O)n]4+, at pH 5 under nitrogen environment is herein reported to form a porous material with hierarchical channels characterized as Eu2(OH)5[H2W12O40]0.17∙7H2O. Heavy metal adsorption by this material was found to be 1.8, 2.4 and 4.1mmol/g for Cd2+, Pb2+ and Cr6+ within contact times of 18, 25 and 20 minutes respectively. The sorption mechanism was pseudo-second order and obeyed the Langmuir sorption model.
