摘要
A novel clay mineral biocomposite, chitosan-modified sepiolite(CMSEP), was prepared and used as adsorbent to remove atrazine from water. The adsorption behaviors including thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, effect factors and mechanisms of atrazine adsorption on CMSEP were studied. The results show that the adsorption capacity of atrazine on CMSEP increases with increasing temperature. Protonation of chitosan in biocomposite can improve adsorption ability of the composite to a certain extent. The parameters ΔGΘ, ΔHΘ and ΔSΘ are-1.48--2.69 k J/mol, 7.54 k J/mol and 30.28 J/mol, respectively. Langmuir isotherm is proved to describe the adsorption data better than other isotherms with a maximum adsorption capacity of 17.92 mg/g, suggesting that the adsorption process is homogeneous. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model can fit the adsorption kinetic processes well although intraparticle diffusion can not be discarded. Briefly, CMSEP has potential value in the removal of atrazine from water and wastewater.
