Abstract
In this study, acrylamide and [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride were grafted onto CS by UV initiation to obtain an environmentally friendly graft copolymer, CS-g-poly(acrylamide-acryloyloxyethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CS-g-PAD). Poly(acrylamide-acryloyloxyethyl) trimethylammonium chloride was named as PAD. Nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG-DSC) were used to characterize CS-g-PAD. Results confirmed the synthesis of CS-g-PAD. SEM results showed that CS-g-PAD exhibited a porous structure with numerous 2–6 μm micropores. The enhanced CaCl2-aided flocculation tests of wastewater contaminated by zinc phosphate coating indicated that CS-g-PAD had better flocculation performance than PAD and the commercially available cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM). The removal rates of zinc concentration, total phosphorus concentrat...
