Abstract
Adsorption of polyacrylic acid and its copolymers with acrylonitrile, containing different quantities of carboxyl groups, on the dispersion of zinc oxide was investigated. The kinetics of polymer desorption was investigated based on data concerning the change in concentration of free carboxylic groups of polymer and zinc ions in solution. The concentration of free carboxyl groups decreases and the concentration of zinc ions in the liquid phase above the residue after separation of zinc oxide particles increases with time, reaching a constant value. The dependence of the concentration of free carboxyl groups and zinc ions in the liquid phase on the initial concentration of polymer in the plateau section of the kinetic curve was investigated. Adsorption isotherms of copolymers depend on their solubility in water and can be described by different mathematical models.
