【 摘 要 】

Chromium has numerous industrial applications, such as metallurgy, processing of leather, producing chromic acid, acting as catalyst and electroplating. These activities cause Cr(VI) contamination in air, soil and water resources. Developing efficient and cost-effective adsorbents for removing Cr(VI) is of utmost importance. Crosslinked cationic konjac glucomannan (CCKGM) with different degrees of substitution (DS) 0.226, 0.391 and 0.456, were prepared by reaction of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride, konjac glucomannan (KGM) and epichlorohydrin and used to adsorb Cr(VI) ions from the aqueous solutions. Then the adsorption behaviour of CCKGM to Cr (VI) was explored. The adsorption effect of CCKGM on Cr(VI) is affected by pH, Cr(VI) initial concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature. With the increase of DS, adsorption capacity increased. The adsorption capacity was 31.52 mg/g, 58.82 mg/g and 62.59 mg/g corresponding to DS 0.226, 0.391 and 0.456, respectively. Adsorption can get equilibrium within several minutes and follows Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The process is exothermal and low temperature is favourable for adsorption. CCKGM has potential to be used as adsorbents for Cr (VI).
