ABSTRACT
Precious metals are valuable materials for the chemical industry, but they are scarce and pose a risk of supply disruption. Recycling precious metals from waste is a promising strategy, here we tactfully utilize light irradiation as an environmental-friendly and energy-saving adjunctive strategy to promote the reduction of precious metal ions, thereby improving the adsorption capacity and kinetics. A newly light-sensitive covalent organic framework (PP-COF) was synthesized to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of this light auxiliary strategy. The equilibrium adsorption capacities of PP-COF with light irradiation towards gold, platinum, and silver ions are 4729, 573, and 519 mg g-1, which are 3.3, 1.9, and 1.2 times the adsorption capacities under dark condition. Significantly, a filtration column with PP-COF can recover more than 99.8% of the gold ions in the simulated e-waste leachates with light irradiation, and 1 gram of PP-COF can recover gold from up to 0.15 tonne of e-waste leachates. Interestingly, the captured precious metals by PP-COF with light irradiation mainly exist in the micron-sized particles, which can be easily separated by extraction. We believe this work can contribute to precious metal recovery and circular economy for recycling resources.
