Abstract
Edible mushrooms are widely usedtoday but the heavy metal pollution of edible mushrooms is not conducive to its industrialization. A novel chloromethylated polystyrene-g-2-adenine chelating resin (AR resin) with simple technology, high adsorption capacity, significant selectivity, and good regenerability was synthesized. Combined with the UV-Vis method, it was applied to mercury preconcentration and determination. The results indicated that the AR resin is essentially free from interferences, which can contribute to accurate determination in waters and foods. Optimization of the resin synthesis was carried out by using response surface methodology. The adsorption properties of the resin for Hg(II) were investigated by batch and column experiments. The statically and dynamic saturated adsorption capacities were 383.4 and 417.0 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic and equilibrium data were well fitted to the second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. Furthermore, the resin and its metal complexes were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.
