Adsorption and Removal of Mercury(II) by a Crosslinked Hyperbranched Polymer Modified via Sulfhydryl.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the highly crosslinked hyperbranched polyamide-amines (H-PAMAMs) were first prepared via one-pot methods and then modified with thiourea to synthesize a novel adsorbent containing sulfhydryl groups (CHAP-SH), which was used to adsorb Hg(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption characteristics and mechanism of CHAP-SH for Hg(II) ions were systematically studied. As expected, CHAP-SH exhibited a rapid removal performance toward Hg(II), and the maximum adsorption capacity was 282.74 mg/g at 318 K and pH = 4.5. The whole adsorption behavior could be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson adsorption isotherm models, which reflected that the adsorption process was mainly monolayer chemisorption. Meanwhile, CHAP-SH had stron
