REMOCIÓN DE Cd2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ Y Zn2+ MEDIANTE COPOLIMEROS DE ALMIDÓN-g-ÁCIDO ITACÓNICO
Abstract
Hydrogels were synthesized by free radical graft copolymerization of itaconic acid (IA) onto corn starch (Alm-g-IA). The redox initiation system potassium permanganate (KMnO4) - sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) was used. The effect of partial neutralization of IA (Alm-g-IA80%) and concentration of initiator (Alm-g-IA½[I]) on grafting efficiency and adsorption capacity of the hydrogels were investigated. Grafting was increased with the concentration of initiator and the partial neutralization of IA. Hydrogels were sensitive to pH. The removal capacity order was Pb2+>Ni2+>Zn2+>Cd2+. Experimental kinetic and equilibrium adsorption data for Ni2+ were best fitted to the pseudosecond order and Freundlich isotherm models.Downloads
