Abstract: | Silica gels believed to be grafted with dithioacetal derivatives were recently used for Hg(II) extraction, and were found to selectively remove 94-100% of Hg2+ ions from metal ion mixtures. The current studies with one derivative suggest that the functional group in the Hg(II) removal is the mercapto (SH) ligand. The dithioacetal group in (ClCOCH2S)2CHPh (2) was hydrolyzed during its reaction with amine (O)3Si(CH2)3NH2 (3) grafted on silica gel to give the mercapto ligand (O)3Si(CH2)3NHCOCH2SH (4). The silica gel grafted with the mercapto ligand 4 selectively removed Hg2+ ions with reported high capacities. |
