چکیده

In this study for wastewater remediation, we aimed to prepare Environmentally Sensitive Hydrogels (ESHs) with specific properties to remove copper (Cu۲+) from wastewater. ESHs were prepared with inter-complex and amphoteric properties by the free radical polymerization method. We prepared two monomers, vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and Methacrylic Acid (MA). N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide was a cross-linker agent to prepare ESHs for binding Cu۲+ to remove from wastewater. To characterize the structural behavior of synthesized ESHs, we used FT-IR. Thermal properties were investigated by using TGA. We used Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs for morphologic studies. Swelling and diffusion studies were performed at different pH, temperatures, and salt solutions. The amphoteric property and inter-complex formation between VP and MA were monitored by UV spectroscopy. In the Cu۲+ bindings onto ESH experiments, a Langmuir-type (L) adsorption was observed regarding the Giles classification system. Binding parameters such as equilibrium constant (KL), monolayer coverage (Qm), and maximum fractional occupancy (FO%) were calculated as ۰.۱۶ L ۱/gESH, ۳۰ MgCu۲+۱/gESH, and ۸۱%, respectively. We found a powerful electrostatic effect between the ionic part of ESH and cationic Cu۲+. These interactions denote the removal of cationic heavy metals and organic toxic wastes for water treatment.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
