Crosslinked poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (cPGMA) was synthesized via a suspension polymerization of Glycidyl methacrylate with Polyethylene glycol diacrylate. It was then reacted with N,N-Dimethylethylenediamine to form a chelating resin (PGD2N) for adsorbing Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The size of PGD2N observed by optical microscope was found to be 150-250 μm in diameter. The adsorption of Cu2+ tended toward equilibrium at 60 min and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was 0.911 mmole/(g PGD2N). The adsorption isotherms of Cu2+ by PGD2N followed the Langmuir isotherm. When the pH of Cu2+ solutions were 4-5, the adsorption capacities retained the maximum value. As the pH of the solutions decreased from 4 to 3, the adsorption capacity decreased slightly. However, the adsorption capacity decreased dramatically from pH 3 to 2. In addition, PGD2N could not adsorb Cu2+ at pH 1. After 5 cycles of desorption-adsorption operations, the re-adsorption capacities of Cu2+ could attain 92% of initial values. This confirms that PGD2N is a good reusable adsorbent for the adsorptions of Cu2+ from aqueous solution. |
