Abstract
Chromium (Cr) ion is a serious pollutant in industrial wastewater, and the removal and simultaneous detoxification of Cr(VI) remains a persistent challenge. Here, we present a novel chitosan-based adsorbent, GA/CS-PEI-PVA (GCPP), designed with crosslinked networks and target-specific sites by incorporating polyethyleneimine (PEI), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (GA) into chitosan. The harvested GCPP demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, mechanical strength, and specific surface area. Remarkably, GCPP achieved a Cr ion adsorption capacity of up to 290.77 mg·g−1 and a reduction ratio of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) of 83.20 %. Mechanism studies revealed that the adsorption of Cr ion on GCPP involved complexation and electrostatic attraction processes, while the grafted phenolic hydroxyl groups significantly promoted the detoxification of Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(Ⅲ). This study represents a significant advance in the development of efficient adsorbents for the practical treatment of Cr ion-containing pollutants.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
