Preparation of Nanocomposite Hydrogel with High Mechanical Strength and Reusability for Cu(Ii) and Pb(Ii) Removal from Water
SSRN Electronic Journal(2022)
Abstract
The adsorbent with the characteristics of good reusability, rapid adsorption kinetics, cost-effective, and high adsorption capacity is extremely demanded in practical adsorption process but has been proven challenging. Herein, a new strategy was raised by combining the nano-biochar (NBC) and double network to synthesize nanocomposite hydrogel. The nano-biochar/carboxymethylcellulose/polyacrylic acid (NBC/CMC/PAA) nanocomposite hydrogel was prepared using one-step method, the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were used to form double networks then immobilize and crosslink with NBC. The NBC/CMC/PAA possessed higher allowable compression force of 133.52 N. The FTIR and XPS results confirmed that -COOH, -OH, and -NH- functional groups were the main adsoption sites. The excellent reusability of NBC/CMC/PAA remained a stable removal efficiency of Cu2+ and Pb2+ was 100% within five cycles. Thomas mode have a better description for the Cu2+ and Pb2+ in the individual dynamic adsorption process. In the alternate fixed-bed column experiments, the treatment volume of Cu2+ contained water reached 13.7 L and produced 300 mL eluent. This work not only developed a new strategy for nanocomposite hydrogel preparation but also verified that the NBC/CMC/PAA have a great application potential for Cu2+ and Pb2+ removal in practical.
