Abstract

In order to improve the adsorption of heavy metal ions on acrylic hydrogels, P(AA-co-AM-co-S) hydrogels were synthesized from acrylic, acrylamide and styrene as raw materials. During the synthesis, potassium persulfate was used as the initiator, N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide was used as the crosslinking agent, and the degree of neutralization was 80%. The structure of the prepared hydrogel was determined by infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption properties of hydrogels on Ni2+ at different times and pH were determined. The results show that the adsorption capacity of Ni2+ ions on the hydrogel reaches the equilibrium adsorption capacity in about 2 hours and reaches 159 mg/g. The second-order kinetic model fits well. The optimal pH for the adsorption of Ni2+ ions by the hydrogel is 3.5 ~ 4.5 and the adsorption capacity is 160 mg/g. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for the development of high-efficiency, environmentally friendly, low-cost heavy metal ion hydrogels.
