To
remove Pd(II), a new triazine-containing silica adsorbent, BisDiOTP@SiO2–P, was prepared. The synthesis was achieved by impregnation
in situ and immobilization of a multinitrogen ligand, BisDiOTP, into
the pores of the SiO2–P support. The uptake of typical
metals Sr(II), Pd(II), Li(I), Na(I), Cs(I), K(I), Rb(I), and Ba(II)
onto BisDiOTP@SiO2–P was investigated. The effects
of contact time and HNO3 concentration from 0.4 to 5.0
M were studied. The strong uptake ability and selectivity of BisDiOTP@SiO2–P for Pd(II) was indicated by six cycles of the batch
uptake and desorption. The removal efficiency was always more than
99.2% for Pd(II) and less than 0.15% for others. In light of the results
of batch experiments, the removal of Pd(II) from a simulated 1.0 M
HNO3 was performed using BisDiOTP@SiO2–P
as a stationary phase by extraction chromatography. Pd(II) adsorbed
by BisDiOTP@SiO2–P was effectively desorbed with
0.2 M thiourea. An efficient removal of Pd(II) by BisDiOTP@SiO2–P was achieved. Some valuable data in chemical separation
engineering of Pd(II) under the framework of SPMP process were obtained.
It is promising to simultaneous removal of Pd(II) and MAs(III) from
highly active liquid waste by the SPMP process developed.
