“…Other characteristic peaks of the resin were noticeable at 1476 cm −1 from C-H symmetric bending (attached to the quaternary ammonium), 1387 cm −1 due to CH3 symmetric bending, 1240 cm −1 from C-N stretching, and 967 cm −1 due to CH2 rocking [22]. In addition, a characteristic peak at 1636 cm −1 was observed from the C=C skeleton vibration of the benzene ring [23,26]. The zeta potential values of MIEX ® GOLD resin over the pH range of 3-11 are presented in Figure 2a.…”

“…Typically, magnetic ion exchange resin shows characteristic peaks of tertiary ammonium, alkyl, and -CH 2 groups [22][23][24][25]. The FTIR spectrum of MIEX ® GOLD resin (Figure 2b) shows noticeable peaks at 1160 and 1720 cm −1 from the stretching of C-O and C=O groups [26]. Other characteristic peaks of the resin were noticeable at 1476 cm −1 from C-H symmetric bending (attached to the quaternary ammonium), 1387 cm −1 due to CH 3 symmetric bending, 1240 cm −1 from C-N stretching, and 967 cm −1 due to CH 2 rocking [22].…”

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are synthetic compounds, which have been widely produced, used, and recently identified as extremely toxic chemicals, and are responsible for serious environmental and human health risks. In this study, the removal efficiency of MIEX® GOLD resin was tested against six PFAS compounds including perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The removal of PFASs and the regeneration of resin (NaCl-saturated methanol) were achieved via adsorption and desorption mechanisms. In all cases, the removal efficiency was greater than 99% where the volume ratio of 1 ppm PFAS to resin was maintained at 50-bed volume. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of MIEX® GOLD resin was studied for PFOA and PFHxS and achieved 1.05 ± 0.01 g PFOA adsorption and 1.01 ± 0.04 g PFHxS adsorption per gram of resin. In addition, a detailed study on the interference of natural organic matter (NOM) and inorganic matter was carried out against PFHxA, PFOA, and PFOS. The presence of 10 ppm NOM (5 ppm tannic acid + 5 ppm humic acid) and 25 ppm inorganic matter (5 ppm nitrate + 20 ppm sulfate) showed no noticeable interference in the removal of selected PFAS compounds. Compared to sulfonic acid-containing PFASs, the interference of organic and inorganic matter on carboxylic acid-containing PFASs was slightly higher. The regeneration of PFAS-adsorbed resin was studied using a mixed solution containing 70% methanol and saturated NaCl. Desorption of PFHxS, PFOS, and PFOA was found to be 98.3, 100, and 43.3%, respectively. The results again indicate that the resin regeneration is strongly affected by the functional group of PFASs; i.e., resin with sulfonic acid-containing PFAS is much easier to regenerate than carboxylic acid-containing PFAS compounds. All the PFAS analyses were performed by using mass spectroscopy and liquid chromatography–mass spectroscopy. In conclusion, this study confirms the remarkable efficiency of MIEX® GOLD resin in removing PFAS compounds, even in the presence of a high concentration of organic and inorganic interferences, and its capacity to be regenerated for repeated usage. These advantages make MIEX® GOLD a promising product for the remediation of PFAS-contaminated water. This study in the broader sense proves that MIEX® GOLD is a promising adsorbent and provides the ground for future study to treat contaminated groundwater.
