Abstract
Novel adsorbent, diethylenetriamine-grafted Spirodela polyrhiza (DSP), was synthesized via modifying natural S. polyrhiza (SP) with diethylenetriamine by cross-linking with epichlorohydrin and applied to adsorb Ni2+ and Pb2+ from water. The effecting parameters on adsorption of Ni2+ and Pb2+ such as adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration were studied through equilibrium experiments. The adsorption of Ni2+ and Pb2+ followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model. The study discusses thermodynamic parameters, including changes in Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy, for the adsorption of Ni2+ and Pb2+ on DSP, and revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic under natural conditions. The maximum Ni2+ and Pb2+ adsorption capacities of DSP were 33.02 and 36.50 mg/g, respectively. The newly prepared materials were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mapping analysis, and zeta potential analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses indicated that functional groups (-OH and N-H) were involved in Ni2+ and Pb2+ adsorption. Notably, DSP can be easily regenerated and reused for multiple cycles. Therefore, DSP is a promising adsorbent for effective Ni2+ and Pb2+ removal.
