Rapid elimination of trace bisphenol pollutants with porous β-cyclodextrin modified cellulose nanofibrous membrane in water: adsorption behavior and mechanism

摘要

A porous beta-cyclodextrin modified cellulose nano-fiber membrane (CA-P-CDP) was fabricated and employed to treat the trace bisphenol pollutants (bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), and bisphenol F (BPF)) in water. The characterization highlighted the porous structure, stable crystal structure, good thermal stability of the obtained CA-P-CDP, as well as abundant functional groups, which could greatly improve the adsorption of bisphenol pollutants and recovery. During the static adsorption process, the adsorbents dosage, temperature and pH showed significant influence on the adsorption performance. At the selected conditions (25 degrees C, 7.0 of pH and 0.1 g L-1 of CA-P-CDP dosage), the BPA/BPS/BPF adsorption on CA-P-CDP could rapidly reached the equilibrium in 15 min by following the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the maximum adsorption capacities were 50.37, 48.52 and 47.25 mg g(-1), respectively, according to Liu isotherm model. The mechanisms between the bisphenol pollutants and CA-P-CDP mainly involved the synergism of hydrophobic effects, hydrogen-bonding interactions and 7C -7C stacking interactions. Besides, the dynamic adsorption data showed that the volume of treated water for CA-P-CDP (0.58 L) was 14.5 times larger than that of pristine cellulose membrane (0.04 L), revealing satisfactory adsorption performance of trace BPA in water. Furthermore, during the treatment of real water samples (lake water and river water) with trace bisphenol pollutants, the complete removal of the pollutants were evidently observed, which strongly verified the possibility of CA-P-CDP for the practical application.
