Sonochemical synthesis of magnetic responsive Fe3O4@TMU-17-NH2 composite as sorbent for highly efficient ultrasonic-assisted denitrogenation of fossil fuel

In this work, a novel magnetic responsive composite was fabricated by encapsulation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles into an amino-functionalized MOF (TMU-17-NH2) under ultrasound irradiation. The prepared materials were characterized by several techniques such as elemental analyses, PXRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption, TGA and ICP. This composite has been applied to the adsorptive removal of nitrogen-contain compounds in model liquid fuel. The prepared composite demonstrates very good performance for the removal of NCCs. The maximum adsorption capacity of IND and QUI over prepared composite calculated 375.93 and 310.18 mg·g−1 at 25 °C, respectively. The composite material is magnetically separable and reusable for several times.
