Abstract

In this work, we report a facile strategy to synthesize ferrohydrogel containing magnetic nanoparticle as crosslinker and successfully using as draw agent in forward osmosis processes. Herein, a core–shell magnetic nanoparticle was synthesized to use as a crosslinker in hydrogel matrix by coating 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS) shell onto Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanoparticles. Ferrohydrogel is synthesized by free radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm) as monomers and Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@MPS as crosslinker (MNP-FHg). Conventional crosslinked pure polymer hydrogel (MBA-PHg) and ferrohydrogel (MBA-FHg), using methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) crosslinker, are compared to those obtained by Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@MPS multifunctional crosslinker. The water flux and swelling ratio yielded by MNP-FHg was investigated and compared with MBA-PHg and MBA-FHg under the same operating condition. The results show the high swelling ratio and water flux for MNP-FHg in comparison to other hydrogel samples and confirmed the significant effect of crosslinker on the performance of polymer hydrogel. Furthermore, thanks to the existence of MNPs, this ferrohydrogel can be easily recovered from the diluted draw solution under an external magnetic field.
