A novel poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropa-nesulfonicacid-co-acrylamide) / attapulgite (P(AMPS-co-AM)/APT) high-salt superabsorbent composite was synthesized through graft polymerization in aqueous solution by microwave irradiation. The structure of the composite was characterized by infrared spectra (FTIR).The influence of the content of monomer, microwave power and the ratio of attapulgite clay on water absorbency was investigated. The swelling behaviors and the water retention of Superabsorbent resin with different APT content were also examined. The results show that the graft copolymerization took place between APT and organic monomers. Adding an appropriate amount of APT in resin can effectively improve the absorption capacity and salt-water performance. Microwave power is 390W, APT amount is 7.5% (mass fraction),The water absorbency of resin in distilled water and 0.9wt% NaCl were 1460g / g and 114 g / g. The resin has a faster absorption rate and strong water retention, the appropriate increase the amount of APT can significantly speed up the rate of the resin absorbent and improve its water retention.

AbstractIn this work, a novel water-managing superabsorbent composite was prepared by graft copolymerization reaction using acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) as the monomers, calcium montmorillonite (Ca-MMT) as an inorganic component and sodium humate (SH) as fertilizer, and well characterized by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The effects of the reaction temperature, neutralization degree of AA, amount of crosslinker, initiator, Ca-MMT and SH on water absorbencies were systematically investigated. The water absorbencies of the superabsorbent composite synthesized under optimal conditions with a Ca-MMT content of 20 wt% and an SH content of 30 wt% are 615 g g-1 and 45 g g-1 in distilled water and in 0.9 wt% NaCl solution, respectively. The swelling behaviours of the superabsorbent composite in various cationic salt solutions (NaCl, CaCl2 and FeCl3) were also investigated and it was found that at the same saline concentration (> 0.1 mmol L-1), the effect of three cationic salt solutions on the swelling capability has the following order: NaCl < CaCl2 < FeCl3. Here, it is worthy to point out that the water absorbency and swelling behaviours of the developed composite were improved by introducing simultaneously Ca-MMT and SH into PAA-AM network in comparison with that of incorporated single with Ca-MMT or SH.
