Amino-alcohol functionalized porous polymer coupled with chromium hydroxide nanoparticles for efficient Cd(ii) adsorption from aqueous solutions.

ABSTRACT: Cadmium is one of the most hazardous heavy metal contaminants, and it is usually abundant in the wastewater released from paint and pigment industries. Such effluents urgently need to be treated before their proper reuse for various industrial and agricultural purposes. Therefore, in this study, the process of Cd(ii) ion adsorption from waste aqueous-solutions was investigated using polystyrene (PS), ethanolamine-modified polystyrene (EA-PS), and chromium hydroxide-impregnated ethanolamine-modified polystyrene (Cr@EA-PS) as new effective sorbents. The structural and textual properties as well as the surface charges and particle sizes of the prepared sorbents were examined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N₂ adsorption-deso
