Flocculation is one of the most widely applied techniques for water treatment. Flocculants based on natural polymer has received more attention due to their eco-friendliness in recent years. New water soluble N-methyl piperazinium chloride grafted chitosan flocculant (chitosan-g-N-MPC) was successfully synthesized and thoroughly characterized using FTIR, NMR and powder X-ray diffraction analytical techniques. Incorporation of N-MPC enhanced the ionic character of the chitosan backbone and improved its water solubility. The flocculation performance of chitosan-g-N-MPC was tested against bentonite suspension. The flocculation performance of chitosan-g-N-MPC was investigated under various pH conditions. Turbidity and zeta potential measurements were employed to investigate the flocculation behavior of the chitosan-g-N-MPC. The characteristics of the industrial wastewater before and after flocculation were analyzed. The morphology of the polymer and flocs were studied by TEM analysis.
絮凝是水处理中应用最广泛的技术之一。近年来,基于天然聚合物的絮凝剂因其生态友好性而受到更多关注。成功合成了新型水溶性N-甲基哌嗪氯化铵接枝壳聚糖絮凝剂(壳聚糖-g-N-MPC),并使用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、核磁共振(NMR)和粉末X射线衍射分析技术对其进行了全面表征。引入N-MPC增强了壳聚糖主链的离子特性并提高了其水溶性。针对膨润土悬浮液测试了壳聚糖-g-N-MPC的絮凝性能。在各种pH条件下研究了壳聚糖-g-N-MPC的絮凝性能。采用浊度和zeta电位测量来研究壳聚糖-g-N-MPC的絮凝行为。分析了絮凝前后工业废水的特性。通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)分析研究了聚合物和絮凝物的形态。
