Abstract
Phosphonic chelating fiber (PCCSF) as a novel adsorbent was produced through alkalization, etherification, amination and phosphonation, and then it was applied to adsorb sulfonamides (SAs), such as sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamonomethoxine (SMM) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ). Specially, their adsorption behavior at different pH values was studied. As a result, PCCSF was provided with amino (NH2 or NH) and PO(OH)2 (PO) groups, and its equilibrium data were generally represented by both Langmuir and Freundlich models. Combining adsorbent-to-solution distribution coefficients (Kd) values and the effect of pH, the primary mechanism suggested that adsorption capacity of PCCSF was lower in strong acid and alkali solution, due to the electrostatic repulsion and hydrophobic interactions. By contrast, its adsorption affinity became more excellent at 3 < pH < 9 owing to the π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) charge-assisted H-bond, Lewis acid-base interaction and charge-assisted H-bond (CAHB).
