Abstract

Titania particles (P25 DEGUSSA AG) were treated by a solution of 12-mercaptododecyl-phosphonic acid (MDPA) in toluene to obtain an organic-inorganic hybrid material with thiol functions at the surface. This material was characterized by chemical analysis, solid state 31P MAS NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, and XPS. Reaction of the phosphonic acid end of MDPA with the TiO2 surface led to the formation of a relatively dense and well-ordered self-assembled monolayer (SAM), with a density of about 3.9 SH functions per nm2. This material was tested for the extraction of mercury in water at pH 7, 9, and 11. Chemical analysis indicated no loss of SH functionality, even at pH 11. The best extraction results were obtained at pH 9 and 11, with a metal extraction ability between 85 and 90%.
