Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorbent materials technology, specifically relating to a methylamine oxime-based polymer adsorbent material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancement of electronic devices, e-waste has become one of the fastest-growing solid wastes globally. E-waste contains a large amount of valuable precious metals, especially gold, with a much higher content than in natural ores. Therefore, the efficient recovery of gold from e-waste not only has enormous economic value but also plays a vital role in sustainable resource development and environmental protection.
[0003] In recent years, adsorbent materials have shown potential as adsorbents in improving the adsorption performance of gold ions in electronic waste leachate. Existing adsorbent materials are mainly divided into two categories based on their technical approaches: reduction-driven materials and coordination-driven materials. Reduction-driven materials are developed by introducing reducing functional groups or loading nano-metals to adsorb Au ions. 3+ Restore to Au 0 However, such materials overemphasize reducing power, often resulting in a significant decrease in selectivity due to non-specific reduction reactions, and the reduction process easily leads to oxidative dissolution or framework collapse of the material structure. Coordination-driven materials selectively capture gold ions through nitrogen / oxygen-containing coordinating groups, but can only achieve enrichment and separation, and cannot directly obtain elemental gold. They require subsequent elution and reduction steps, which is difficult to meet the needs of efficient industrial recycling.
[0004] Therefore, existing adsorption materials cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high selective adsorption, in-situ efficient reduction, and structural stability, and cannot achieve the direct recovery of elemental gold products from complex leachates. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a metallo-oxime-based polymer adsorbent material, its preparation method, and its applications. The metallo-oxime-based polymer adsorbent material prepared by this invention can selectively capture, reduce in situ, and recover elemental gold ions from electronic waste leachate in a single step; it eliminates the necessary elution and additional reduction steps required in traditional methods, directly recovering high-value-added elemental gold products from the leachate, significantly improving the efficiency, selectivity, and economy of the gold recovery process.
[0006] This invention utilizes fluorinated rigid benzene ring units and tannic acid to form a three-dimensional network cross-linked polymer, constructing a rigid hydrophobic framework, and introduces a methylamine oxime group to achieve specific recognition and efficient capture of gold ions. When the methylamine oxime group captures Au(III), the adjacent phenolic hydroxyl group can directly donate electrons, driving the in-situ reduction of Au(III) to elemental gold, achieving efficient in-situ reduction of Au(III). At the same time, the rigid hydrophobic framework endows the material with excellent structural stability and hydrophobicity, enabling it to withstand the harsh environment of electronic waste leachate and protecting the internal active groups from failure. This solves the problem that existing adsorbent materials cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high selective adsorption, efficient in-situ reduction, and structural stability.
[0007] The first objective of this invention is to provide a metallo-oxime-based polymer adsorbent material, wherein the metallo-oxime-based polymer adsorbent material is prepared by cross-linking a precursor polymer with a three-dimensional network cross-linked structure formed by tannic acid and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile through a cross-linking reaction, and then modifying it by a metallo-oxime reaction.
[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of tannic acid to tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile is 1:0.5 to 1.
[0009] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a amine oxime-based polymer adsorbent material, comprising the following steps:
[0010] Under a protective atmosphere and with alkaline catalysis, tannic acid and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile are dissolved in a first solvent and heated to 90℃~110℃ for a crosslinking reaction to obtain a precursor polymer with a three-dimensional network crosslinking structure. The precursor polymer, organic base and hydroxylamine hydrochloride are dispersed in a second solvent and heated to 60℃~70℃ for a meramine oxime reaction to obtain a meramine oxime-based polymer adsorbent material.
[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of tannic acid to alkali is 1:2.
[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of the precursor polymer to hydroxylamine hydrochloride is 1:3. An excess of hydroxylamine hydrochloride is used to completely convert the cyano groups in the precursor polymer into amine oxime groups.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-linking reaction time is 10h to 14h.
[0014] Preferably, the alkali is potassium carbonate.
[0015] Preferably, the first solvent is a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylformamide, wherein the volume ratio of tetrahydrofuran to N,N-dimethylformamide is 8:1.
[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of the precursor polymer to the organic base is 1:2.
[0017] Preferably, the time for the oxime reaction is 20 h to 28 h.
[0018] Preferably, the organic base is triethylamine.
[0019] Preferably, the second solvent is ethanol.
[0020] The third objective of this invention is to provide an application of a amine oxime-based polymer adsorbent material in the adsorption and reduction of gold in gold-containing wastewater.
[0021] Preferably, the gold-containing wastewater is leachate from electronic waste.
[0022] The preferred and specific application methods are as follows:
[0023] A amine oxime-based polymer adsorbent material is added to gold-containing wastewater for adsorption. After adsorption, elemental gold is deposited on the surface of the material, and efficient gold recovery can be achieved through filtration.
[0024] Preferably, the concentration of the gold-containing wastewater is 50 mg / L to 1200 mg / L, and the ratio of the amount of the metallo-oxime polymer adsorbent to the gold-containing wastewater is 1 mg: 1 mL to 4 mL.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0026] 1. This invention uses tannic acid and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile as raw materials. A precursor polymer with a three-dimensional network cross-linked structure is formed by the cross-linking reaction of tannic acid and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile, thus constructing a rigid hydrophobic framework. A methylamine oxime group is introduced onto the precursor polymer through a methylamine oxime reaction. The methylamine oxime group has a strong coordination ability and specificity for Au, thus achieving highly selective coordination capture of gold ions. At the same time, after the tannic acid phenolic hydroxyl group captures gold ions, the adjacent phenolic hydroxyl group can provide electrons to directly drive the in-situ reduction of Au(III) to elemental gold, thereby achieving in-situ reduction of the captured gold ions. Furthermore, the constructed rigid hydrophobic framework endows the material with high stability under harsh environments, enabling it to withstand the harsh environment of electronic waste leachate and protecting the internal active groups from failure.
[0027] 2. The amylopyridine-oxime-based polymer adsorbent material prepared by this invention can directly and in one step achieve selective adsorption, in-situ reduction and elemental gold recovery from complex electronic waste leachate, realizing the integration of "capture-reduction", omitting the elution and additional reduction steps in traditional processes, and has the advantages of simple process, high efficiency, good selectivity, low cost and green environmental protection.
[0028] 3. This invention utilizes the nitrogen and oxygen atoms on the metallo-oxime group as strong coordination sites to form stable coordination bonds with gold ions, achieving highly selective adsorption of gold even in the presence of numerous coexisting ions. This invention utilizes natural and inexpensive tannic acid as both a framework component and a source of reducing agent, making the process environmentally friendly and cost-effective. This invention uses tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile as a crosslinking agent; the fluorinated rigid crosslinked framework endows the material with exceptional stability, enabling it to maintain structural and performance integrity for extended periods in strong acid and high-salt environments, resulting in a long service life.

[0047] The difference from Example 1 is as follows:
[0048] The precursor polymer did not incorporate a amine oxime group.
[0049] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 2 g of tannic acid, 1.4 g of tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile, and 4 g of potassium carbonate were dissolved in a mixed solvent of 80 mL of tetrahydrofuran and 10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide. The resulting mixture was then stirred at 100 °C for 12 h to allow the fluorinated rigid benzene rings of tannic acid and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile to crosslink and form a polymer.

[0054] 2. Adsorption test.
[0055] Preparation of adsorption solution:
[0056] Au 3+ The solution was prepared by dissolving HAuCl4 in ultrapure water. 3.4502 g of HAuCl4 was dissolved in 1 L of ultrapure water by ultrasonication to obtain a 2 g / L Au solution. 3+ Stock solutions; dilute 2 g / L stock solutions with deionized water to obtain Au concentrations of different concentrations. 3+ Solution.

The Au content of the supernatant was then analyzed. 3+ The concentration was measured.
[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the TA-CN adsorbent material for Au 3+ The adsorption capacity of Au ions is only 440 mg / g; while the TA-PAO adsorbent material with the introduction of a amine oxime group has a higher adsorption capacity for Au ions. 3+ The adsorption capacity of ions was increased to 1064 mg / g; this indicates that the amylopyridine-based polymer adsorbent material prepared according to the embodiments of the present invention has a high adsorption capacity for Au. 3+ Ions have high adsorption capacity.
[0063] Adsorption test at different temperatures:
[0064] 15 mg of TA-PAO adsorbent was added to 30 mL of Au solution of different concentrations. 3+ In the solution, the experiments were conducted at different temperatures of 288 K, 303 K, and 318 K, and shaken for 12 hours in a constant-temperature shaking chamber at 180 rpm.

The mixture was shaken at a constant speed of 180 rpm for 1 hour in a constant-temperature shaker at 303 K. After adsorption equilibrium was reached, the supernatant was collected by filtration through a pinhole membrane. Au was measured before and after adsorption using a ContrAA 700 high-resolution continuous-wave atomic absorption spectrometer. 3+ The concentration changes were used to evaluate the adsorption effect under different pH conditions.
[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, the TA-PAO adsorbent material exhibits good adhesion to Au under strongly acidic conditions. 3+ The fact that it still has a good removal effect indicates that the adsorbent material is acid-resistant and has a wide range of applications.

[0072] 3. Application of adsorption in actual samples.
[0073] Gold extraction using real electronic waste:
[0074] 1.73g of pins were collected from a spent CPU using a hot air gun and added to 100mL of N-bromosuccinimide / pyridine solution. After shaking in a 30℃ constant temperature shaking incubator for 12h, the supernatant was collected by filtration.
