Facile Functionalization of Natural Peach Gum Polysaccharide with Multiple Amine Groups for Highly Efficient Removal of Toxic Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)) Ions from Water.


ABSTRACT: The development of low-cost adsorbent with excellent adsorption property remains a big challenge. Herein, the functionalization of natural peach gum polysaccharide (PGP) with multiple amine groups for the removal of toxic Cr(VI) ions from water was studied. The obtained PGP-NH2 gel exhibited high-removal efficiency (>99.5%) toward Cr(VI) ions, especially with relatively low initial concentration of Cr(VI) ions (?250 mg/L). The influences of pH, ionic strength, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature on the adsorption of Cr(VI) ions were systematically investigated. The PGP-NH2 gel showed rapid adsorption rate and could reach adsorption equilibrium within about 40 min. The Cr(VI) ion uptake process could be described by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity of PGP-NH2 gel could reach 188.32 mg/g. Thermodynamic investigation results indicated the spontaneous and exothermic characteristic of the uptake process. Moreover, the PGP-NH2 gel also exhibited favorable reusability, and 135.52 mg/g of adsorption capacity was retained even after being reused for five times. Considering its low cost and superior uptake property, the PGP-NH2 gel holds a great promise for employing as an adsorbent to treat Cr(VI) ion-containing wastewater.
