Environmental contextBecause of the multiple industrial applications of metals, contamination by metal ions is widespread and can at times endanger the environment and the health of human beings. We prepared ion-imprinted adsorbents to achieve selective recognition and smart separation of low-concentrations of copper ions from water. These smart imprinted materials have high potential for selective adsorption and removal of contaminant copper ions, particularly at very low concentrations. AbstractA temperature-responsive magnetic adsorbent (poly(N-propyl acrylamide) grafted magnetic carbon microspheres, Cu2+-IIP) was synthesised by ion imprinting technology for low concentration Cu2+ removal. Cu2+-IIP was prepared by using N-propyl acrylamide as a thermo-sensitive functional monomer, N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as a cross-linker and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. The morphologies and microstructures of samples were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetry and vibrating sample magnetometry. Adsorption experiments were conducted in terms of kinetics, isotherms and selective recognition adsorption at low feed concentrations. Results indicate that Cu2+-IIP possesses good recognition selectivity and affinity for Cu2+, and can be separated from the treated solution quickly by applying an external magnetic field. The adsorption capacity towards Cu2+ depends on temperature and reaches a maximum value of 45.46 mg g−1 at 35 °C, higher than that of the non-imprinted polymer. The adsorption behaviour of Cu2+ on Cu2+-IIP can be well defined with both the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Cu2+-IIP performs good adsorption selectivity towards Cu2+ because the relative selectivity factors of Cu2+ with respect to Ni2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ are 7.14, 7.60 and 6.77, respectively. The adsorption capacity of Cu2+-IIP remained 88.41 % after five cycles.

There is an urgent demand worldwide for the development of highly selective adsorbents and sensors of heavy metal ions and other organic pollutants. Within these environmental and public health frameworks, we are combining the salient features of clays and chelatant polymers to design selective metal ion adsorbents. Towards this end, the ion imprinting approach has been used to develop a novel nanohybrid material for the selective separation of Cu2+ ions in an aqueous solution. The Cu2+-imprinted polymer/montmorillonite (IIP/Mt) and non-imprinted polymer/montmorillonite (NIP/Mt) nanocomposites were prepared by a radical photopolymerization process in visible light. The ion imprinting step was indeed important as the recognition of copper ions by IIP/Mt was significantly superior to that of NIP/Mt, i.e., the reference nanocomposite synthesized in the same way but in the absence of Cu2+ ions. The adsorption process as batch study was investigated under the experimental condition affecting same parameters such as contact time, concentration of metal ions, and pH. The adsorption capacity of Cu2+ ions is maximized at pH 5. Removal of Cu2+ ion achieved equilibrium within 15 min; the results obtained were found to be fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The equilibrium process was well described by the Langmuir isothermal model and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 23.6 mg/g. This is the first report on the design of imprinted polymer nanocomposites using Type II radical initiators under visible light in the presence of clay intercalated with hydrogen donor diazonium. The method is original, simple and efficient; it opens up new horizons in the general domain of clay/polymer nanocomposites.

A new Ce(III) ion imprinted polymer (Ce(III)-IIP), which can be used for selective removal of Ce(III) from aqueous solutions, was successfully prepared based on the matrix material of ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 by surface molecular imprinting technology. The prepared polymer was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transmission infrared spectrometry, and nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm. The results showed that Ce(III)-IIP kept a uniform framework mesoporosity of SBA-15 but a decrease in Brunauer−Emmett−Teller surface area, pore volume, and average pore diameter. Batch adsorption tests were researched on the effects of solution pH value, mass of sorbent, and contact time at different initial Ce(III) concentrations and temperatures. The kinetic data well fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model compared with the pseudo-first-order model. The adsorption isotherm fitted Langmuir model and the dimensionless separation factor RL indicated favorable adsorption. In addition, the Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), entropy (ΔS0), and enthalpy (ΔH0) were calculated from the adsorption data. These values suggested that the adsorption of Ce(III) onto Ce(III)-IIP was a spontaneous and endothermic nature of the process. The relative selectivity coefficients for different metal ion were larger than that of the nonimprinted polymer, indicating that Ce(III)-IIP synthesized for Ce(III) had a higher selectivity specialism for this ion.

Abstract Ion imprinted polymer, a kind of high molecular organic polymer, which can separate and enrich various metal ions in water by changing the adsorption conditions. Used humic acid as raw materials, used HNO3 and H2SO4 as modifiers to synthesize nitrosulfonated humic acid, then used it as substrate, NIPAM as the functional monomer, Pb2+ as the template ion, MBA as the crosslinking agent, K2S2O8 and NaHSO3 as initiators to prepare lead ion imprinted polymers after cross-linking reaction. Used SEM, FT-IR, TG-DSC to characterize the obtained product, and explored the structure and performance of the product. The adsorption performance of IIPs (NSA/NIPAM) was studied by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis). The results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of IIPs (NSA/NIPAM) for Pb2+ is 81.33 mg/g, the optimal number of cycles of IIPs (NSA/NIPAM) is 10, In the presence of competing ions Cu2+ and Cd2+, selectivity coefficients are 18.04 (Pb2+/Cu2+) and 19.39 (Pb2+/Cd2+). The results of simulating the thermodynamic adsorption process of the polymers with Langmuir and Freundlich thermodynamic adsorption models show that the imprinted polymer conform to the second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir thermodynamic model, and belong to monolayer chemisorption.

Abstract In this paper, a series of bio-adsorbents (LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA) were successfully prepared by modifying Licorice Residue with NaOH, Na2CO3 and citric acid, which were used as the adsorbents to remove Cu2+ from wastewater. The morphology and structure of bio-adsorbents were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared, SEM, TG and XRD. Using static adsorption experiments, the effects of the adsorbent dosage, the solution pH, the adsorption time, and the initial Cu2+ concentration on the adsorption performance of the adsorbents were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption process of Cu2+ by the bio-adsorbents can be described by pseudo-second order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. The surface structure of the LR-NaOH, LR-Na2CO3 and LR-CA changed obviously, and the surface-active groups increased. The adsorption capacity of raw LR was 21.56 mg/g, LR-NaOH, LR- Na2CO3 significantly enhanced this value up to 43.65 mg/g, 43.55 mg/g, respectively. After four adsorption-desorption processes, the adsorption capacity of LR-NaOH also maintained about 73%. Therefore, LR-NaOH would be a promising adsorbent for removing Cu2+ from wastewater, and the simple strategy towards preparation of adsorbent from the waste residue can be as a potential approach using in the water treatment.

Abstract In this paper, methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4- vinyl pyridine (4-VP) as functional monomers, ethylene glycol two methyl acrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinking agent, isopropyl alcohol as the solvent, prepared the Cu(II)- and Pb(II)- imprinted polymers(IIPs) submicron spheres by precipitation polymerization. The presence/absence of the template ion in the preparation of the imprinted polymer was confirmed by EDX spectroscopy, and the structure of the particles was investigated using IR, SEM and BET analysis. From different components of crosslinker/monomer(C/M) ratio analysis, C/M at 1:3 was the optimal ratio for preparing IIPs. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was characterized the imprinted polymers absorption behavior. The results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of Cu2+ and Pb2+ -imprinted polymer were 26.9mg﹒g−1 and 25.3mg﹒g−1, respectively. They also have good adsorption capacity and superior selectivity property for Cu2+ and Pb2+ in water, respectively. The selectivity factors (α) for Ni2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Fe2+ were 16.5(Cu2+) and 12.1(Pb2+), 13.8(Cu2+) and 16.2(Pb2+), 10.8(Cu2+) and 10.1(Pb2+), 20.4(Cu2+) and 20.7(Pb2+), respectively. The regeneration experiment result demonstrates an excellent re-utilization property of these two type IIPs, after ten uses, the adsorption capacity can maintain above 60%.

China is a big coal producing country, there are a lot of coal gangue piled up. The zeolite X was synthesized by alkali melting and hydrothermal method based on the coal gangue from Chifeng city, Inner Mongolia. The obtained zeolite X sample is characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDS spectrum and IR which showed the X zeolite is an octahedral structure with complete crystal shape and uniform grain size. The results of BET showed the specific surface area of zeolite X is 354.8 m2/g and the minimum pore size is 3.8 nm which indicated that the zeolite X belongs to mesoporous materials. The adsorption conditions of the zeolite X adsorbent on copper ions were optimized. A solution containing Cu2+ ions with an initial concentration of 300 mg/L was added to the zeolite X with a dosage of 0.1 g and the initial pH value of the solution was adjusted to 6. Then the solution was oscillated for 120 min at 225 r/min. The maximum adsorption capacity and removal rate were 148.6 mg/g and 99.1%, respectively. The adsorption mechanism was discussed by adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics. The quasi-second order kinetic equation can be well used to describe the adsorption kinetics of zeolite X to Cu2+ (R2 = 0.9994) and Langmuir can well describe the adsorption behavior of zeolite X to Cu2+ (R2 = 0.9995) which showed the adsorption is a monolayer of chemical adsorption. The adsorption capacity of zeolite X to Cu2+ is about 4.0 times that of coal gangue, indicating that the zeolite X has good adsorption capacity.

We investigated the adsorption of lead (Pb2+) and nickel (Ni2+) ions by electrospun membranes of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber activated with NaHCO3 (PANmod). Analysis by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) validated the functionalization of PAN nanofibers with NaHCO3, and the successful agglomeration of Pb2+ and Ni2+ onto PANmod. After a rapid uptake of the heavy metal ions (15 min), the equilibrium contact time was attained (60 min) following a linear increase of both adsorption capacity and removal efficiency. PANmod showed a better affinity for Ni2+ than Pb2+. The adsorption on PANmod was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both studied models, supporting chemisorption. By varying the solution pH from 2.0 to 9.0, we found that the adsorption capacity followed an increasing trend, reaching a maximum at the pH of 7.0. Despite increasing adsorption capacities, the removal efficiency of both heavy metal ions exhibited a decreasing trend with increase in initial concentrations. The amount of PANmod directly affects the removal efficiency, with 0.7 and 0.2 g being the optimum dose for maximum uptake of Pb2+ and Ni2+, respectively. The Langmuir model fitted well the Pb2+ adsorption data suggesting monolayer adsorption, and the Freundlich model perfectly fitted the Ni2+ adsorption data, indicating heterogeneous adsorption. The estimated values of the mean free energy of adsorption in the D–R isotherm indicated a physical adsorption of both heavy metal ions into the surface of the PANmod.
