Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Amidoxime‐modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous films (AOPAN NFs) were prepared via an electrospinning technique. The traditional preparation methods for amidoximated polyacrylonitrile (AOPAN) solution were changed and improved. First, the PAN solution was modified by hydroxylamine hydrochloride to produce an AOPAN solution, and then, a small amount of inhibitor was added to the AOPAN solution for electrospinning. We found that the crosslinking of the AOPAN solution was inhibited by the addition of a small amount of inhibitor; at the same time, the storage time of the AOPAN solution was prolonged. In addition, the prepared AOPAN solution was electrospun into nanofibrous films, which could be used as excellent adsorption materials for Cu(II), Pb(II), and methyl orange (MO) after drying. The maximal adsorption capacities for Cu(II), Pb(II), and MO were 143.47, 178.57, and 68.07 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacities of the nanofibrous films were more than 50% that of the first adsorption after four recycling runs; this indicated the reusability of the nanofibrous films for water treatment. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
