Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sorbent which is suitable for binding metals from solutions, the production of a corresponding sorbent as well as the use of the sorbent for binding metals from solutions.
  • phase/sorbents often do not have adequate binding capacity for binding the metals to be bound on a sufficient scale for example from high concentration or low concentration solutions or strongly acidic solutions, in particular also in the presence of alkali or alkaline earth metal ions. Furthermore, previously known phases often do not exhibit stability over the whole range from pH 0 to pH 14.
  • a further disadvantage of many previously known phases is that the desired metal can indeed be bound, but cannot be recovered simply or indeed at all from the sorbent used. Owing to the mostly unsatisfactory binding capacity of known sorbents/phases, a high sorbent/phase volume is often required, as a result of which the metal binding processes are very elaborate and cost-inefficient. Further, owing to the mostly low binding capacity of known metal-binding sorbents, repeated operation of the process is necessary in order for example to be able to provide heavy metal-free water as drinking water.
  • the object of the present invention to provide a novel sorbent which partly or wholly does not exhibit the aforesaid disadvantages.
  • the sorbent provided according to the invention is in particular renewable with sodium hydroxide, or allows the recovery of the metals in a simple manner.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a sorbent which still has a relatively high binding capacity towards metals even under acidic conditions.
  • the volume of the sorbent used for the metal binding should be reduced.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show the comparison of the isotherms of the sorbents from Example 1 and comparison example 1 in the binding of copper from aqueous solutions according to Example 2.
  • FIG. 3 shows the metal binding capacity of the sorbent from Example 1 for the metals copper, nickel and chromium as a function of the metal concentration according to Example 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows the quantity of absorbed copper [g] per quantity of sorbent [kg] in the presence of different concentrations of NaCl according to Example 4.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the variation over time from Example 5 for the absorption of copper of a sorbent from Example 1.
  • FIG. 7 shows the binding capacity for copper after regeneration of the sorbent after various cycles according to Example 6.
  • FIG. 8 shows the comparison of the copper binding by multiply coated sorbents with a singly coated sorbent according to Example 7.
  • a sorbent comprises a porous support material coated with an amino group-containing polymer, wherein the concentration of the amino groups of the sorbent determined by titration is at least 600 ⁇ mol/mL, based on the total volume of the sorbent.
  • the concentration of the amino groups of the sorbent determined by titration is at least 800 ⁇ mol/mL, more preferably at least 1000 ⁇ mol/mL, still more preferably at least 1200 ⁇ mol/mL and most preferably at least 1500 ⁇ mol/mL sorbent.
  • the upper limit of the concentration of the amino groups of the sorbent according to the invention determined by titration is limited by the spatial feasibility or the maximum possible density of the arrangement of the amino groups in the amino group-containing polymer and is at most about 4000 ⁇ mol/mL, more preferably 3000 ⁇ mol/mL and most preferably about 2500 ⁇ mol/mL.
  • the concentration of the amino groups of the sorbent determined by titration is understood to mean the concentration which is obtained according to the analytical method stated in the examples section of this application by breakthrough measurement with 4-toluenesulphonic acid.
  • the sorbent according to the invention has a ratio of the mass of the amino group-containing polymer to the total volume of the pores of the porous support material of greater than or equal to 0.1 g/mL, more preferably greater than or equal to 0.125 g/mL, still more preferably of greater than or equal to 0.15 g/mL and most preferably greater than or equal to 0.20 g/mL.
  • physical limits are set to the upper limit of the said ratio, however preferably about at most 0.5 g/mL, more preferably at most 0.4 g/mL and most preferably at most 0.3 g/mL.
  • the mass of the amino group-containing polymer can be determined by the increase in the tamped density compared to the support material according to DIN 53194.
  • the total volume of the pores [V] of the porous support material can be determined by the solvent absorption capacity (WAC) of the porous support material.
  • WAC solvent absorption capacity
  • the pore volume [vol. %] can also be determined likewise. Here, in each case, this is the volume of the freely accessible pores of the support material, since only this can be determined via the solvent absorption capacity.
  • the solvent absorption capacity states what volume of a solvent is necessary to fill the pore space of one gram of dry sorbent (preferably stationary phase) completely.
  • the solvent both pure water or aqueous media and also organic solvents such as dimethylformamide can be used.
  • the quantity of solvent used for this is automatically detected.
  • WAC volume per gram dry sorbent
  • the coating of the amino group-containing polymer on the porous support material is preferably present in the form of a hydrogel.
  • a hydrogel is here understood to mean a solvent- (preferably water-) containing, but solvent-soluble polymer, the molecules of which are chemically, e.g. by covalent or ionic bonds, or physically, e.g. by entanglement of the polymer chains, linked into a three-dimensional network. Because of built-in polar (preferably hydrophilic) polymer components, they swell in the solvent (preferably water) with considerable volume increase, without however losing their material cohesion.
  • hydrogels From the state of the art that they to some extent lose their properties irreversibly when they are dried. In the present application, however, the hydrogels do not lose their properties, since they are chemically and mechanically stabilized by the porous support material.
  • the amino group-containing coating is then present in particular as a hydrogel in the sorbent according to the invention, if this is present swollen in a solvent, i.e. in particular during the use for the binding of metals from solutions described below.
  • the porous support material is preferably a mesoporous or macroporous support material.
