Title: | Bagasse cellulose grafted with an amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution | Authors: | Xia, L Huang, ZH Zhong, L Xie, FW Tang, CY Tsui, CP |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Polymers, Aug. 2018, v. 10, no. 8, 931, p. 1-15 | Abstract: | A novel bio-adsorbent was fabricated via grafting an amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBP-NH2) onto bagasse cellulose. The morphology and microstructure of the HBP-NH2-grafted bagasse cellulose (HBP-g-BC) were characterized and its adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solutions was investigated. The rough surface structure of HBP-g-BC that is beneficial for improving the adsorption capacity was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The grafting reaction was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The adsorbent performance was shown to be better with a lower pH value, a higher adsorbent dosage, or a higher initial Cr(VI) concentration. Moreover, the kinetics study revealed that the adsorption behavior followed a pseudo-second-order model. The isotherm results showed that the adsorption data could be well-fitted by the Langmuir, Freundlich, or Temkin models. Moreover, HBP-g-BC could maintain 74.4% of the initial removal rate even after five cycles of regeneration. Thus, the high potential of HBP-g-BC as a bio-adsorbent for heavy metal removal has been demonstrated. | Keywords: | Bagasse cellulose Hyperbranched polymer Adsorption capacity Cr(VI) removal |
