Abstract
Selective adsorption using magnetic adsorbent is supposed as one of the most effective methods for heavy metal removal from water for the advantage of efficient solid-liquid separation. However, the application of this technique is hindered by the high cost, unfavorable environmental effects of the chemical synthesis of magnetic adsorbents. In this study, the industrial waste coal-fly-ash magnetic sphere (CMS) were carefully processed to prepare cheap and green magnetic core material. Then, a composite bioadsorbent using CMS as core and chitosan (CS) as the shell (CMS@CS for short) was fabricated via an extrusion-dripping method. Structural investigations indicate that the obtained CMS@CS samples are hollow microsphere with a solid wall or porous solid microsphere depending on the preparation conditions. CMS particles are evenly distributed in both microspheres. The porous sample has an 81.49 m2 g−1 special surface area, 96 times larger than the hollow. The highest Cu(II) adsorption of the porous sample is measured as 22.41 mg g−1, 3.6 times larger than that of the hollow. The Cu(II) adsorption of the CMS@CS samples is closely related to the internal structure, surface chemical modification, and solution pH. The adsorption mechanism could be explained by a two-step procedure model. The CMS@CS adsorbents have an average magnetism of 10.07 emu g−1, thus could be magnetically separated efficiently. The density of CMS@CS is tested as 1.45–1.65 g cm−3. A similar density with water would improve its suspend ability in the water. The used CMS@CS adsorbent could be recycled several times after appropriate treatment.
