Thiouracil modified activated carbon as a sorbent for some precious and heavy metal ions
Source abstract
Abstract
A new sorbent is prepared by modifying activated carbon obtained from apricot stones with 2-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine (2-thiouracil). The products have been characterized as to their surface area, pore volumes, content of the functional groups with basic and acidic properties, IR spectra, sulfur content. Their sorption properties with respect to some precious (Au(III), Ag(I), Pt(II)) and heavy (Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Hg(II)) metals are investigated. The sorption is studied as a function of pH (in the interval 1÷8) and stirring time (1÷24 h). The static sorption capacities towards the metal ions are determined under optimum conditions at room temperature. The new sorbent containing thiouracil is appropriate for simultaneous preconcentration of the precious and heavy metal ions within a wide pH range. It shows a significantly higher capacity for the investigated metal ions than the original carbon.
