Removal and Recovery of Heavy Metal Ions by Two-dimensional MoS 2 Nanosheets: Performance and Mechanisms.
Environmental Science & Technology 2018 September 5
We investigated the removal of heavy metals from water by two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets suspended in aqueous solution, and restacked as thin film membranes, respectively. From these studies we elucidated a new heavy metal ion removal mechanism that involves a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction between heavy metal ions and MoS2 nanosheets. Ag+ was used as a model species and MoS2 nanosheets were prepared via chemical exfoliation of bulk powder. We found that the Ag+ removal capacity of suspended MoS2 nanosheets was as high as ∼4000 mg/g and adsorption accounted for less than 20% of removal, suggesting the reduction of Ag+ to metallic silver as a dominant removal mechanism. Furthermore, we demonstrated that MoS2 membranes were able to retain a similar high removal capacity, and attribute this capability to the formation of a conductive, permeable multilayer MoS2 structure, which enables a corrosion-type reaction involving electron transfer from a MoS2 site inside the membrane (anode) to another site on membrane surface (cathode) where heavy metal ions are reduced to metallic particles. The membrane surface remains active to efficiently recover metallic particles, because the primary oxidation products are soluble, nontoxic molybdate and sulfur species, which do not form an insulating oxide layer to passivate the membrane surface. Therefore, MoS2 membranes can be used effectively to remove and recover precious heavy metals from wastewater.
