Abstract
Aiming at the removal of chlorinated disinfection by-products in water and the difficulty of separation of powder bentonite from water, the polyacrylamide bentonite composite was prepared and used as absorbent. The mechanism of adsorption and regeneration was discussed. The adsorption of chloroacetic acid on polyacrylamide bentonite composite followed Langmuir isothermal and Pseudo second order kinetic equation, and the adsorption capacity was 63.01mg/g at optimal temperature 30°C. The sorption heat were at the range of 9~16kJ/mol and decreased with the increase of temperature. It was indicated the adsorption mainly belonged to chemical adsorption, and the proportion of physical adsorption increased with the temperature increase. The thermodynamic parameters were ΔH0=-5.226kJ/mol, ΔG0=-27.753kJ/mol. These showed the adsorption was spontaneous and exothermal process. The composites were characterized by XRD and FT-IR. It was found the acrylamide intercalated in interlayer of bentonite and polymerized, then interacted with bentonite by hydrogen bonds. The d001 increased and decreased with adsorption and regeneration, the chloroacetic acid was considered to intercalate in the interlayer of polyacrylamide bentonite composite. The hydrogen bonds may exist between chloroacetic acid and CH2 groups. The polyacrylamide bentonite composite adsorbed chloroacetic acid could be regenerated by NaOH solution.
