The invention discloses a method for preparing an iron
ion imprinted
silica gel, which relates to an imprinted
silica gel. The method for preparing the iron
ion imprinted
silica gel comprises the following steps of: soaking a silica gel in acid solution, washing the silica gel until the silica gel is neutral, and
drying the silica gel to obtain an activated silica gel; putting a salt containing iron ions into a
solvent, heating and stirring the salt and the
solvent until the
solid is dissolved to obtain a mixture; adding mercapto-propyl
silane into the mixture, and heating, stirring and refluxing the mixture; adding the activated silica gel into the mixture, and heating, stirring and refluxing the mixture continuously to obtain a crude product of the iron
ion imprinted silica gel; filtering the crude product, washing the crude product with a
solvent until no
impurity is detected, then soaking the crude product with an acid until no iron
ion imprinted silica gel is detected, and finally washing the iron
ion imprinted silica gel until the iron
ion imprinted silica gel is neutral; and
drying the iron ion imprinted silica gel to obtain a final product. In the method, the mercapto-propyl
silane is used as a
functional monomer, and a synthesis technique of molecular engram is utilized. The preparation process is simple and convenient, and is easy to operate, the obtained iron ion imprinted silica gel has high adsorption capacity and certain adsorption selection performance of the iron ions, and the synthesized iron ion imprinted silica gel can be filled to form a small
solid phase extraction column which is used for the selective extraction of the iron ions in a
water sample.
