Functional water-insoluble polymers with ability to remove arsenic(V)

摘要

Three resins were synthesized through radical polymerization: poly[(ar-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride] P(VBTA), poly[(ar-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride-co-acryloylmorpholine] P(VBTA-co-AM), and poly[(2-acryloyloxy) ethyltrimethylammonium chloride-co-acryloylmorpholine]. The removal capacity for arsenic under different conditions was studied and compared with a commercial resin Amberlite IRA 400-Cl. The arsenic sorption capacity of the resins at the optimum pH showed the following order: Amberlite 95.5% (27.1 mg/g, 0.36 mmol/g), P(VBTA) 92.6% (16.3 mg/g, 0.22 mol/g), P(VBT-co-AM) 90.4% (21.5 mg/g, 0.29 mmol/g), and P(AETA-co-AM) 87.3% (21.7 mmg/g, 0.29 mmol/g).
