Adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) on porous sodium alginate/polyethyleneimine hydrogel beads and its mechanistic study
-
摘要: 海藻酸钠(SA)是一种生物质材料,具有来源广泛、价格低廉的特性,被众多科研人员用于实验室研究,制备成吸附剂去除水溶液中的金属离子。但目前制备的大多数SA基吸附材料是实心水凝胶状,具有比表面积较低、吸附速率慢、吸附容量小的缺点。本研究以SA为基体,向其中添加碳酸钙和聚乙烯亚胺(PEI),以戊二醛为交联剂,经冷冻干燥后制备出多孔的SA/PEI凝胶球,探究其对水溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附特性。通过改变实验条件,研究pH值、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度、吸附温度、吸附时间等对SA/PEI凝胶球吸附性能的影响;引入吸附动力学和热力学模型对吸附过程进行分析;采用FTIR、Zeta电位、SEM、XPS对SA/PEI凝胶球合成及吸附Cr(Ⅵ)机制进行综合分析。结果表明,SA/PEI凝胶球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除率与初始浓度呈负相关;该吸附过程符合拟二级动力学和Langmuir等温吸附模型,且该吸附反应是自发的吸热过程,在温度为318.15 K、pH值为2时,Langmuir等温吸附拟合所得最大吸附量为262.83 mg/g。SA/PEI凝胶球对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附机制主要为静电作用导致的物理吸附。Abstract: The sodium alginate (SA) is a biomass material which is abundant and can be easily acquired. It is currently used by many scientific researchers in laboratory research to prepare adsorbents to remove metal ions from aqueous solutions. However, SA based adsorbents generally exist as hydrogels, which are low in specific surface areas, slow in adsorption rates and have low adsorption capacities. In this study, calcium carbonate and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were added to SA matrix, and glutaraldehyde was used as a crosslinking agent to prepare porous SA/PEI beads via freeze-drying. The adsorption characteristics of synthesized adsorbent for Cr(Ⅵ) in aqueous solution were studied. The adsorption behaviors of Cr(Ⅵ) ions were evaluated by varying the experimental conditions including pH values, initial metal ion concentrations, adsorption temperature and adsorption time. Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic models were applied to analyze the adsorption process. Characterization methods, including FTIR, Zeta potential, SEM, and XPS were comprehensively used to analyze the synthesis mechanism of SA/PEI beads and the mechanism of Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption. The results show that the removal rate of Cr(Ⅵ) by SA/PEI beads is negatively related to the initial concentration; the adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm adsorption model, and the adsorption reaction is a spontaneous endothermic process. When the temperature is 318.15 K and the pH value is 2, the Langmuir isotherm adsorption fitting shows that the maximum adsorption capacity is 262.83 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism of SA/PEI beads on Cr(Ⅵ) is mainly physical adsorption dominated by electrostatic interactions.
