In this work, a porous hydrogel-based adsorbent for metal ions was prepared through the copolymerization of acrylic acid and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) method. Stretched molecular chains in the hydrogel ensure the excellent accessibility of functional sites by the metal ions. A highly open cellular structure endows the P(AANa-co-HEMA) gel with high transport rates as a promising adsorbent. Adsorption properties were investigated by three isotherm models and two kinetic models. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis proved a chelating interaction between -COO- and metal ions. The adsorption capacity reached 630 mg.g(-1) for Pb2+ under 303 K and a 400 mu g.mL(-1) initial concentration. The results show that the as-prepared PoIyHIPE-based P(AANa-co-HEMA) gel possesses an open cellular structure, high adsorption capacity, and high selectivity for Pb2+.
