Two modified chitosan derivatives were prepared in order to compare their adsorption properties for Hg(II) removal from aqueous solutions. The one chitosan adsorbent (CS) is only cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, while the other (CSm), which is magnetic, is cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and functionalized with magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄). Many possible interactions between materials and Hg(II) were observed after adsorption and explained via characterization with various techniques (SEM/EDAX, FTIR, XRD, DTG, DTA, VSM, swelling tests). The adsorption evaluation was done studying various parameters as the effect of pH (optimum value 5 for adsorption and 2 for desorption), contact time (fitting to pseudo-first, -second order and Elovich equations), temperature (isotherms at 25, 45, 65 °C), in line with a brief thermodynamic analysis (ΔG⁰ < 0, ΔH⁰ > 0, ΔS⁰ > 0). The maximum adsorption capacity (fitting with Langmuir and Freundlich model) of CS and CSm at 25 °C was 145 and 152 mg/g, respectively. The reuse ability of the adsorbents prepared was confirmed with sequential cycles of adsorption-desorption.
为了比较两种改性壳聚糖衍生物对水溶液中 Hg(II) 的吸附性能,制备了两种改性壳聚糖衍生物。一种壳聚糖吸附剂(CS)仅用戊二醛交联,而另一种(CSm)则用戊二醛交联并用磁性纳米粒子(Fe₃O₄)功能化。吸附后,通过各种技术(SEM/EDAX、FTIR、XRD、DTG、DTA、VSM、溶胀试验)对材料与 Hg(II) 之间的多种可能相互作用进行了观察和解释。通过研究各种参数(pH 的影响(吸附的最佳值为 5,解吸的最佳值为 2)、接触时间(拟合伪一级、二级和 Elovich 方程)、温度(25、45、65°C 下的等温线),结合简要的热力学分析(ΔG⁰ < 0、ΔH⁰ > 0、ΔS⁰ > 0)对吸附进行了评估。在 25°C 下,CS 和 CSm 的最大吸附容量(分别拟合 Langmuir 和 Freundlich 模型)分别为 145 和 152 mg/g。通过连续的吸附-解吸循环,证实了所制备的吸附剂的可重复使用能力。
