Preparation and Characterization of Iminodiacetate Group Containing Nonwoven Polyethylene Fabrics and Its Application in Chromium Adsorption

An iminodiacetate (IDA) group containing nonwoven polyethylene (PE) film was prepared by radiation induced graft polymerization of an epoxy group containing monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto nonwoven PE fabric and subsequent chemical modification to IDA group. The effect of solvents (water,...

Description
Summary:An iminodiacetate (IDA) group containing nonwoven polyethylene (PE) film was prepared by radiation induced graft polymerization of an epoxy group containing monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto nonwoven PE fabric and subsequent chemical modification to IDA group. The effect of solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and dimethyl sulfoxide) on modification of epoxy group of GMA grafted PE (GMA-g-PE) fabric to IDA group was investigated. Ethanol provided a higher density of IDA group on GMA-g-PE fabric. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis of IDA-GMA-PE adsorbent, GMA-g-PE fabric and pure PE fabric were studied. The ability of resultant IDA adsorbent to absorb chromium from aqueous medium was evaluated by batch method. The parameters such as feeding chromium concentration, pH of chromium solution and adsorption time of IDA adsorbent were discussed. The obtained results illustrate that the IDA adsorbent could be fruitful to absorb chromium from water. The equilibrium experimental data for the adsorption of chromium on IDA adsorbent fitted Langmuir isotherm model.
