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 demonstrate a kind of novel tough and reusable hydrogel beads with quite high capacity of dye adsorption via incorporating mussel-bioinspired poly（L-DOPA） （PDOPA） into alginate/poly（acrylamide） double network （DN） hydrogels. The synthesized PDOPA nanoaggregates were introduced into the DN hydrogels by simple one-pot mixing with the monomers prior to polymerization. The fabricated hydrogel beads exhibited high mechanical strength and good elastic recovery due to the interpenetrating Ca2＋-alginate and poly（acrylamide） networks. It was shown that the beads exhibited relatively high dye adsorption capacity compared to other adsorbents reported in literature, and the introduction of PDOPA with an appropriate amount raised the adsorption capacity. It is believed that the addition of PDOPA and the matrix of double network architecture contributed synergistically to the high adsorption capacity of hydrogel beads. Moreover, the desorption of dyes could be easily realized via rinsing in acidic water and ethanol solution. The hydrogel beads remained the high adsorption capacity even after 5 times of adsorption and desorption cycles. This tough and stable hydrogel with high adsorption capacity may have potential in treatment of dye wastewater released by textile dyeing industry.展开更多
