Abstract

ZSM-5 has been regarded as one of the potential materials for separating substances from the mixture; however, their micropore channel is not favorable to load new active sites and adsorbate species. Herein, the pseudomorphic transformation method was used to convert high-aluminum-content micropore ZSM-5 into mesoporous structure (ZSM-5K). The samples of ZSM-5 and ZSM-5K were modified by Ce2(SO4)3 via the same impregnation route, and the obtained samples were used to adsorb As(V) from aqueous solution. The As(V) removal percentage and the X-ray diffraction data indicate that Ce2(SO4)3 was the effective adsorption site due to the high affinity between As(V) species and Ce. The N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms show that the linear connection between As(V) removal and BET surface of adsorbents was been obtained. The transmission electron microscopy results showed that mesoporous structure was more favorable to disperse the adsorption sites. In addition, the As(V) equilibrium adsorption data were fitted well by the Langmuir isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacity was found as 31.63 mg/g, which was larger than that of the conventional alumina, carbon, iron oxide, etc. The adsorption kinetics under different initial concentration obeyed the pseudo-second-order model.
