A novel acidic adsorbent, beta-cyclodextrin phosphate polymer (beta-CDPP), was synthesized by one-pot method in this study, showing high efficiency in removing Pb(ii) ions from acidic wastewater. The beta-CDPP exhibits a high maximum Pb(ii) adsorption capacity and good reusability, while also showing good adsorption performance for other heavy metals.
The efficient and green separation of heavy metal ions from acidic wastewater is a challenging industrial problem. In this work, a novel acidic adsorbent, beta-cyclodextrin phosphate polymer (beta-CDPP), was synthesized by one-pot method. The beta-CDPP was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and XPS. The beta-CDPP can effectively remove more than 95% Pb(ii) from acidic wastewater (pH = 3). The adsorption of Pb(ii) reached equilibrium in 20 min, and the maximum Pb(ii) adsorption capacity calculated by the Sips isotherm model was as high as 576.92 mg g(-1). FT-IR and XPS analysis revealed that the adsorption mechanism of Pb(ii) depends on the chelating effect and electrostatic interaction. The adsorbent showed good reusability evidenced by eight cycles of adsorption/desorption experiments. Meanwhile, the low concentration of Na(i), K(i), and Ca(ii) had little effect on the adsorption of Pb(ii). Moreover, the adsorbent can effectively remove a variety of mixed heavy metals from acidic wastewater including Pb(ii), Cu(ii), Cd(ii), Zn(ii), Co(ii), and Ni(ii). The results indicate that beta-CDPP is a promising candidate for the deep treatment of acidic heavy metal-contained wastewater.
