Abstract
The coexistence of pathogenic microorganisms and refractory organic chemicals in water nurtures certain biological and chemical risks to human beings and the water environment as a whole. For an environmentally friendly utilization of water cleaning and recycling technologies, a bifunctional cationic cyclodextrin material (GD-DTAC) with adsorption and bactericidal function was designed. By a simple crosslinking method, GD-DTAC was prepared with graphene supported citric acid-β-cyclodextrin polymer (GD) and dimethyldodecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (DTAC). Following the introduction of rich quaternary ammonium groups by DTAC, GD-DTAC realized a double regulation of surface positive charge and wettability. The maximum adsorption capacities of Roxarsone (ROX), Methyl Orange (MO) and Bisphenol A (BPA) were 153.59 mg/g, 445.60 mg/g and 237.90 mg/g, respectively. Antibacterial activity tests showed the efficiency of DTAC not only for enhanced adhesion resistance, but it also realized the sterilization function. This work displays the potential of the prepared bifunctional materials for the removal of pollutants from wastewater as well as the suppression of micro-pollutants. The successful preparation of GD-DTAC provided a basis for the bifunctional material, which showed a great potential in adsorption and antibiosis.
