Abstract: | Wastewater discharged from chemical oxygen demand(COD) testing instrument was generally difficult to treat due to its high content of heavy metals and very low pH. In this study, a kind of cysteine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs-Cys) was synthesized and used to treat the wastewater. The synthesized MNPs-Cys as the adsorbent for heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions were systematically investigated. The adsorption dynamic process fit the Langmuir isotherms well with a maximum adsorption capacity of 76.92 mg/g for Cu(Ⅱ). The adsorbent could be easily regenerated by 0.1 mol/L HNO3, which exhibited a high adsorption performance within 10 cycles. This adsorbent, combined with a developed pretreatment approach, could make Cr(Ⅲ), Hg(Ⅱ) and Ag(Ⅰ) in the wastewater discharged from COD testing instrument effectively removed and the removal efficiency is more than 99%. This work gave a new insight into the design and synthesis of high-performance materials for treating wastewater with heavy metals. |
