Polyacrylic acid/attapulgite (PAA/ATP) composite hydrogels used for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution was synthesized via radical polymerization with acrylic acid (AA) and attapulgite (ATP) modified by hydrochloric acid as adsorbent. Chemical composition of the modified ATP was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology of the PAA/ATP hydrogels was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The swelling ratio, pH-sensitivity and adsorption performance of Ni (II) ions of the composite hydrogels were studied. The results showed the swelling ratio of the PAA/ATP composite hydrogels was higher than that of PAA hydrogels and the composite hydrogels displayed sensitivity to pH values with a sharp increase of swelling ratio when the pH values increased from 4 to 6. Comparing with PAA hydrogels, the composite hydrogels obtained a larger adsorption capacity of Ni (II) ions, the average adsorption capacity could reach 72.8 mg/g and adsorption ratio could reach 84%.

AbstractActivated carbon (AC) was modified by using non-thermal plasma in O2, N2 and O2/N2 atmospheres to increase its Cu(II) adsorption capacity and quantify the influences of the modifying atmospheres. SEM, BET, FT-IR and XPS were used to characterize the surface physical and chemical properties of AC. The results show that the AC modified by using plasma had significantly better Cu(II) adsorption performance than the raw AC. Among the O2, N2 and O2/N2 atmospheres, the AC with plasma modification in N2 showed best Cu(II) adsorption performance and the Cu(II) adsorption capacity was 369.5% higher than the raw AC. The AC modified in O2 atmosphere can form C—COOH groups, while the AC modified in N2 atmosphere can form C—NH2 groups. These two groups are both beneficial for Cu(II) adsorption, where the —NH2 groups are more effective for Cu(II) adsorption compared to —COOH groups. The chemisorption dominated the Cu(II) adsorption on the plasma modified AC and the adsorption performance was dependent on the surface functional groups properties of AC.
