Article Abstract
A novel water-soluble silsesquioxane precursor (DEA-GSQ) was prepared by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of diethanolamine (DEA) with glycidyloxypropyl substituted silsesquioxane (GSQ). DEA-GSQ can be used to crosslink chitosan to prepare hybrid aerogels (DGCA). The hybrid aerogels were fully characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, compression performance test and Mercury intrusion porosimetry. The hybrid aerogel shows selective adsorption for Au(III) with the saturated adsorption capacity of 918.16 mg/g at pH = 6. Pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model could describe the adsorption process well. It was found that Au(III) was mostly reduced to Au(0) by CN bond during the adsorption process. Furthermore, an adsorption device was designed to remove Au(III) based on this hybrid aerogel, laying the foundation for the adsorption of Au(III) in practical applications.

The rising demand for gold requires innovative methods for its recovery from e-waste. Here we present the synthesis of two tetrazine-based vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks: TTF-COF and TPE-COF that adsorb gold ions and nanoparticles and catalyze the carboxylation of terminal alkynes. These covalent organic frameworks have low band gaps and high photocurrent responses.

Precious metal recovery from secondary sources has received significant attention due to the reduced availability of precious metals from conventional sources. Herein, chitosan (CHT) was modified via cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (glu) to yield CHT-glu adsorbents with improved physicochemical and adsorption properties with precious metal ions (Au(III) and Pd(II)). CHT-glu adsorbents were prepared at variable glu ratios and characterized via complementary spectral (IR, C solids NMR, XPS) and thermogravimetry methods.

The analysis of gold, which is a precious metal with limited resources, in environmental samples is crucial for the sustainable utilization of natural resources. Therefore, in the present research we have aimed to develop a novel and environmentally friendly bioadsorbent, loaded on silica gel (BB@Si), with outstanding adsorptive properties that can be implemented for quantitative recovery of Au(III) ions the solid phase extraction (SPE) technique. After characterizing the developed adsorbent using FTIR and SEM techniques, we conducted a detailed investigation of the critical parameters that influence the extraction performance of Au(III) ions.

The aim of this study was to develop new materials with adsorbent properties that can be used for the adsorption recovery of Au(III) from aqueous solutions. To achieve this result, it is necessary to obtain inexpensive adsorbent materials in a granular form. Concomitantly, these materials must have a high adsorption capacity and selectivity.
