Abstract
The global concern regarding environmental contamination caused by antimony (Sb) in water has become increasingly prominent, presenting a complex environmental challenge. To improve Sb adsorption efficiency, novel N-methylglucamine modified cellulose microspheres (Celp-g-GMA-NMG) offer a sustainable and effective solution for the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) with promising application in actual mine inflow. Celp-g-GMA-NMG retain high adsorption efficiency for Sb(III) over a wide pH range. The prepared adsorbent exhibits a fast adsorption rate and high adsorption capacity of 217.61 mg g−1 for Sb(III) and 49.11 mg g−1 for Sb(V). The adsorption process confirms the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In batch and dynamic experiments, Celp-g-GMA-NMG not only effectively removes Sb from actual mine inflow, but also simultaneously captures highly toxic arsenic. In addition, the Celp-g-GMA-NMG captured Sb(III) and Sb(V) by coordination and electrostatic interactions, respectively.
