Abstract: A porous silica-polymer based adsorbent, isoBu-BTP/SiO2-P, was prepared by a vacuum impregnation method and used for the recovery of ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium from nitric acid solution. The experimental results revealed that isoBu-BTP/SiO2-P exhibited unique adsorption properties such as high saturation adsorption capacity (Ru: 0.35 mmol g-1, Rh: 0.32 mmol g-1, Pd: 1.05 mmol g-1) and excellent selectivity over other metal ions, such as lanthanides (SFPGM/M>40) in 1 M HNO3 solution, The adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model. From the UV, FT-IR and XPS analyses, it can be concluded that the strong affinity between functional groups (C-N=C) and metal ions, as well as NO3- played a role in coordination during the adsorption process. Furthermore, the desorption behavior was studied, and it was found that the adsorbed Pd, Rh, and Ru could be eluted with a 0.01 M nitric acid-0.1 M thiocarbamide solution, 5 M hydrochloric acid, and sodium hypochlorite (CP) solution, respectively. Finally, based on those findings, a simple process for the separation and recovery of Pd, Rh, and Ru from high-level liquid waste using isoBu-BTP/SiO2-P was designed and proposed.
