摘要：

A novel Cd(II)-ion-imprinted silica-supported hybrid sorbent functionalized with tetradentate Schiff bases ligands derived from 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyltrimethoxysilane for the selective removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous media had been synthesized by a surface-imprinting technique in conjunction with a sol–gel process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results revealed that the static adsorption capacity of Cd(II) was 29.1 mg·g–1. The imprinted hybrid sorbent exhibited a fast equilibrium time with 30 min, had a stable binding capacity in the range of pH 3.5–9.5, and showed the selective adsorption for Cd(II) in binary ions systems of Cd(II)/Zn(II), Cd(II)/Ni(II), Cd(II)/Cu(II), and Cd(II)/Pb(II). The adsorption/desorption cycles of the imprinted hybrid sorbent could be up to nine times. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevi...
