Conditions for preparing Hydrogel-Ⅰ and the adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) over Hydrogel-I were optimized through response surface methodology coupled with central composite design. XPS revealed that the groups of —OH, —COO—, —NH, —NHand —CSS— carried by Hydrogel-Ⅰ were responsible for the uptake of Pb(Ⅱ). Ions exchange, surface complexation, electrostatic attraction and pore-filling effect contributed to the adsorption process. Adsorption performances of Pb(Ⅱ) by Hydrogel-Ⅰ and MAL powders were compared. Although they exhibited similar adsorption rate and maximum adsorption capacity(qm), the reusing ability of Hydrogel-Ⅰ was better and it was easier to be separated from aqueous solution after treatment. Even compared with organic hydrogel materials,Hydrogel-Ⅰ presented relatively quick adsorption speed and high adsorption capacity. It can be concluded that Hydrogel-Ⅰ could be an alternative scavenger for the treatment of Pb(Ⅱ) from aqueous solution.展开更多

Here, we report a magnetic hydrogel composite with disk-like microstructure fabricated by assembly of iron oxide nanopartides during the gelation process in the presence of rotating magnetic field. It should be mentioned that the iron oxide nanoparticles here were synthesized identically following techniques of Fer- umoxytol that is the only inorganic nanodrug approved by FDA for clinical applications. The microstructure of nano- particles inside the hydrogel was ordered three-dimensionally due to the twist of the aligned chains of magnetic nano- particles which leads to the lowest state of systematic energy. The size of microstructure can be tuned from several micro- meters to tens of micrometers by changing the assembly parameters. With the increase of microstructure size, the magnetothermal anisotropy was also augmented. This result confirmed that the assembly-induced anisotropy can occur even for the several micron aggregates of nanopartides. The rotating magnetic field-assisted technique is cost-effective, simple and flexible for the fabrication of composite hydrogel with ordered microstructure. We believe it will be favorable for the quick, green and intelligent fabrication of some com- posite materials.展开更多
