Abstract

The modified bentonite with a graft amount of 30% was prepared by polyethylenimine reacting with the epoxy bonds on the molecular of (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane and being grafted on the bentonite to remove amino black10B. The effects of pH, time, temperature and concentration on the adsorption capacity were studied. As the pH value increases from 3 to 10, the adsorption capacity decreased from 264.5 to 140.4mg/g. The adsorption process reached equilibrium at 90min when pH=3. The adsorption kinetics indicates that the adsorption process was very fast and in accordance with the secondary adsorption kinetics. The data about thermodynamic equilibrium was consistent with the Langmuir model. The adsorption process mainly depended on electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding and the adsorption data of Bent-PGLYMO-PEI showed that the maximum adsorption capacity reached 327.7mg/g.
