This study developed a novel composite adsorbent for highly selective and sensitive detection and extraction of cobalt (Co(II)) from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and wastewater. The composite adsorbent was prepared by indirect immobilization of 6-((2-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthoyl)hydrazono) methyl) benzoic acid (HMBA) onto mesoporous silica monoliths. The composite adsorbent enhanced the color formation by stable complexation as [Co(II)-HMBA](n+) complexes during detection and sorption operations. The data evident the one-step detection of wide range Co(II) concentrations into interior pore surface coverage of the composite adsorbent from solutions without using high tech instruments, which was unique feature of this adsorbent. The influence of different sorption parameters, such as: initial Co(II) concentration, equilibration time, solution pH and the presence of competing ions and reuses were studied and discussed systematically. The effective pH range for Co(II) ions detection and sorption was neutral pH region and the maximum sorption capacity of the adsorbent was as high as 189.37 mg/g. The adsorbed Co(II) was eluted with stripping agent (0.3 M HCl) and simultaneously regenerated into initial form for the next capturing operations after rinsing with water. The data also clarified that the composite adsorbent was selectively extracted Co(II) from LIBs even in the presence of high concentration diverse ions. Importantly, the composite adsorbent was retaining functionality in spite of many chemical treatments during sorption-elution-recovery/regeneration cycles. Therefore, the present study revealed that such a low-cost material could be used as potential adsorbent for the selective detection and recovery of Co(II) ions from LIBs and wastewater streams.
