Abstract

In this paper, MIL-53/Analcime (MIL-53/ANA) composite were synthesized by hydrothermal method using Al3+ as metal site and carboxyl group of the ligand (terephthalic acid). The structural composition of the composite was analyzed by SEM, XRD, FTIR, EDS, TG and other characterization methods. The adsorption mechanism of MIL-53/ANA to cesium was discussed. The results showed The composite has good thermal stability, with a specific surface area of 198.13 m2/g and a pore volume of 0.216 cm3/g. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cs (I) was 173.52 mg/g. It conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, and the chemical adsorption plays a dominant role in the overall Cs + adsorption process.
