摘要

Using inverse suspension technology, a novel aminated chitosan adsorbent with higher adsorption ability for metal cations and metal anions was prepared. Through cross-linking amination reaction, the content of amidocyanogen of aminated chitosan adsorbent was enhanced four times than that of chitosan cross-linked adsorbent. As can be seen from the results, the adsorption ability of the novel aminated chitosan adsorbent for (Nicit)(-) and Cr(VI) was enhanced remarkably. When the initial concentration of metallic ion was 1,000 mg/L, the adsorption capacity of the novel aminated chitosan adsorbent for nickel citrate and Cr(VI) was up to 30.2 mg/g and 28.7 mg/g, respectively. And the adsorption capacity of the novel aminated chitosan adsorbent for Ni2+ was still higher. So the new aminated chitosan adsorbent offers not only a higher uptake for metal cations but also a better adsorption capacity for metal anions.
