Abstract

This paper describes the preparation and characterization of magnetic poly(glycidylmetacrylate-co-divinylbenzene) with amino (R14-en) or quaternary (R14-enQ) groups on the surface for chromium removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process of the Cr (VI) with R14-en was dependent on the pH, and the highest adsorption values occurred in a pH range of 4 to 6s. In contrast, the adsorption of R14-enQ, because of its quaternary group (a strong base), was practically independent of the solution’s pH. The kinetic studies showed that the experimental data on adsorption of Cr (VI) best fitted the pseudo second-order model, for both copolymers, suggesting that the interaction between the adsorbent and adsorbate occurs by chemisorption. The Langmuir isotherm model presented the best fit to the experimental data in equilibrium, indicating that the adsorption de Cr (VI) occurs on a monolayer of the heterogeneous surface of the adsorbent.
