Abstract:

Fe3O4 was prepared by co-precipitation method,and SiO2 was wrapped on the surface of Fe3O4 by modified stober method to prepare magnetic SiO2,and then the magnetic SiO2/chitosan composite aerogel was prepared.The structure of composite aerogel was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),specific surface area testing(BET),and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FT-IR),and the results showed that the specific surface area of composite aerogel was 24.93 m2/g,the average pore diameter was 19.02 nm,and the composite aerogel was a mesoporous material,it was favorable for the adsorption of Cu2+.The effects of the pH value,the dosage of composite aerogel and the initial concentration of Cu2+ on the adsorption performance were investigated.When the pH value was 6.0,the dosage of composite aerogel was 50 mg,the initial concentration of Cu2+ was 10 mg/L,the adsorption rate of composite aerogel for Cu2+ reached 98.99 %,and was still relatively high after recycling for 4 times.The adsorption process of Cu2+ was followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the pseudo-secondary-order kinetic model,and it was an entropy-increasing and endothermic spontaneous chemisorption process.
