Importance of a nano-sized molybdenum composite synthesized using a microwave oven in the sorption enhancement of Au(iii) from the aqueous phase

Abstract

To greatly enhance the unsatisfactory Au(III) sorption performance (2280 mg/g) by the material designed in our previous work, we ingeniously fabricated a nano-sized and uniform molybdenum composite (MoCOM) using a...

Efficient recovery of gold from solution with a thiocyanate-modified Zr-MOF: adsorption properties and DFT calculations

“…Based on the S 2p spectrum (Fig. 6f) in UiO-66-NCS-Au, the peak at 169.11 eV belonged to the SO bond, 54 which may be derived from the oxidation of the CS bond, and the peak area for the SO bond increased significantly after adsorption. Meanwhile, the strength at 163.08 eV (belonging to the –CS bond) 55 had decreased after adsorption, verifying that the –CS bond was also responsible for adsorption.…”
