A high yield pyridinium functionalization chitosan (PCS) was easily obtained from reactions of chitosan with N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-pyridinium chloride. The PCS exhibited high sorption capacities for methyl orange and Cr(VI) and could be reused.
A pyridinium functionalization chitosan (PCS) at high yield was facilely and solvothermally obtained from reactions of chitosan with N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-pyridinium chloride. The morphology and physical-chemical properties of PCS were tested with various techniques. Its sorption behaviors towards methyl orange (MO) and Cr (VI) were systematically investigated. Pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir equations well fitted the sorption kinetics and isotherms, respectively. Thermodynamics analyses revealed the spontaneous and endothermic sorption of these two contaminants. PCS exhibited high sorption capacity of 1649.30 mg.g(-1) MO and 200.46 mg.g(-1) Cr(VI) at 308 K. The superior sorption performance of PCS over MO is ascribed to ion exchange, intermolecular hydrogen bond, and electrostatic and pi-pi interactions, while sorption of PCS over Cr(VI) is mainly driven by electrostatic forces, reduction and ion exchange. Moreover, the PCS exceeded 95 % of its original capacities during five cycles. This high sorption capacities and high reusability make PCS an excellent sorbent candidate towards anionic contaminants.
