Its structure was confirmed by elemental analysis and FT IR spectra analysis. The adsorption properties of sulfhydryl chitosan for Cu(Ⅱ), Cd(Ⅱ), Pb(Ⅱ), Cr(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) were investigated, and the effect of pH value on adsorption, adsorption kinetics, and selective adsorption was examined. It was shown that S chitosan has good adsorption for Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) like chitosan, is also insoluble in acid solution; has good adsorption kinetic properties for heavy metal ions; and can be used in acid solution. The adsorption capacities of S chitosan can be affected by media acidity. The adsorbed Cu(Ⅱ) Cd(Ⅱ)and Pb(Ⅱ) could be eluted by diluted chlorhydric acid.展开更多
