The microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, zeta potential measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer. Batch adsorption tests indicated that NH2-MS exhibited higher adsorption affinity toward Pb(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) than MS did. The Langmuir model could fit the adsorption isotherm very well with maximum adsorption capacity of 128.21 and 51.81 mg/g for Pb(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ), respectively, implying that adsorption processes involved monolayer adsorption. Pb(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorption could be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetics model, and was found to be strongly dependent on pH and humic acid. The Pb(Ⅱ)- and Cd(Ⅱ)-loaded microspheres were effectively desorbed using 0.01 mol/L HC1 or EDTA solution. NH2-MS have promise for use as adsorbents in the removal of Pb(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) in wastewater treatment processes.展开更多
