摘要：

Selective gold adsorption was investigated for the NH2-MCM-41 and SH-MCM-41 adsorbents prepared by grafting aminopropyl and thiolpropyl groups on the surface of the MCM-41 mesoporous silica. The single component adsorption of gold, copper and nickel from salt solutions, and the binary adsorption studies of Au3+/Cu2+ and Au3+/Ni2+ solutions were carried our for the two adsorbents. Gold adsorption from simulated gold mining Solution and gold electroplating wastewater were also reported. The NH2-MCM-41 and SH-MCM-41 displayed strong affinity for gold in the solution and both exhibited 100% selectivity for the gold in the binary Au3+/Cu2+ and Au3+/Ni2+ solutions. The NH2-MCM-41 is more suitable for the gold mining solution, while SH-MCM-41 is efficient for gold adsorption from the electroplating waste containing high amount of organics. The gold was recovered as high purity salt solution by elution with mineral acid for NH2-MCM-41 and thiolsulfate for SH-MCM-41. The regenerated adsorbent remained selective to gold and exhibited the same adsorption capacity as the fresh adsorbent. Also, the regenerated adsorbent performed well even after several reuses.
