Description

In this study, a novel polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified MOF-derived carbon adsorbent (PEI@MDC) was proposed, which exhibited significant adsorption capacity for Congo Red (CR) in aqueous solutions. FT-IR and XPS results showed that PEI was successfully grafted onto MDC, increasing the content of amine groups on the surface of MDC. The adsorption process conformed to the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model and pseudo-second-order kinetic equation, indicating that the adsorption of CR on PEI@MDC was covered by a single layer, and the adsorption process was controlled by chemical processes. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity at 30 °C was 1723.86 mg g−1. Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between CR and PEI@MDC surface functional groups were the main mechanisms controlling the adsorption process. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, PEI@MDC still showed a high adsorption capacity for CR, indicating that the adsorbent had an excellent regeneration ability.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
