RESUMO
MOF@Biomass layered hybrids were designed through in situ growth from rice husk (RH) and microwave-assisted synthesized MIL-53(Al) particles that enable the reduction of reaction times. The synthesis process included steps to pretreat RH, Al adsorption on RH, and then MIL-53(Al) in-situ growth reaction at 125 °C for 60 min and 200 W irradiation power. The resulting hybrid (MIL-53(Al)@RH) and its parent separate materials were characterized using TGA, SEM, FTIR, XRD, among others. MIL-53(Al)@RH showed high crystallinity in the hybridized MOF particles, thermal decomposition phases, and functional groups (Al-O, O-H, CO, and CC). The hybrid particles allow an easy separation during heterogeneous processing due to their 400 times larger size compared to MIL-53(Al) crystals. The properties of the layered hybrids for removal of Oxytetracycline (OTC), Diclofenac (DCL), and Glyphosate (GLY) in aqueous solutions, were tested by adsorption (ADS) and advanced oxidation processes (AOP). The high ADS capacities (162 mg g-1 GLY, 139 mg g-1 OTC, 93 mg g-1 DCL) and % removal in AOP (97% GLY, 91% OTC, 80% DCL) demonstrated that MIL-53(Al) maintained its properties after hybridization.
