Description:
In this paper, adsorption effects and characteristics of heavy metal ions by poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and its two complexes (γ-PGA/Gelatin and γ-PGA/Fe 3 O 4 ) were studied. The adsorption capacity of Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ with initial concentration of 100 mg/L by unmodified γ-PGA is 1158 mg/g, 1129 mg/g and 301 mg/g, respectively. However, γ-PGA is easy to dissolve in water, which is not conducive to the treatment of heavy metal wastewater under flow state, neither to its reuse. The γ-PGA/Gelatin was prepared by crosslinking γ-PGA with gelatin to enhance γ-PGA’s mechanical strength and adsorption stability. Moreover, Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles are also the ideal carrier of γ-PGA, which not only improves the strength performance of γ-PGA but also enhances the repetition rate of γ-PGA. The γ-PGA/Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles were prepared by co-precipitation. The scanning electron microscopy...
