Evaluation of hybrids
CMK-3@FexOy - Hybrid
Hybrids for environmental applications were prepared:
a) via interaction of acetic acid vapors with iron cations dispersed on the surface of a CMK-3
mesoporous carbon. (CMK-3@FexOy)
b) using a CMK-3 carbon as a matrix for wet impregnation of FeCl3, followed by reduction of iron
species by means of NaBH4 and drying of the sample in vacuum. (CMK-3@Fe0)
The XRD, FT-IR, TEM, DTA/TG and surface area measurements revealed the well defined
carbon mesoporous structure and the successfully preparation of hybrids.
Magnetic experiments suggested the ultrafine character of the iron oxide nanoparticles which
exhibit a superparamagnetic behaviour.
Mössbauer measurements showed:
a) γ-Fe2O3 as the major magnetic iron oxide phase in CMK-3@FexOy hybrids
b) the well known iron core-shell structure for the ZVI nanoparticles in CMK-3@Fe0
c) almost zero recoil-free nanoparticles at temperatures above 77K in hybrids.
CMK-3@Fe0 and CMK-3@FexOy hybrids showed very rapid uptake kinetics in the removal of
aqueous Cr6+ ions and total remediation of aqueous solution of Cr6+ at conditions- pH: 3,
concentration: 6ppm, treatment time: 24hours .
Both type of hybrids showed significant improvement of sorption and/or reduction capability of
Cr6+ ions/g of specific sorbent in comparison with pristine CMK-3 or unsupported ZVI
nanoparticles.
