Abstract

A novel cyclic functional monomer (CFM) was used to develop an As(III)-ion imprinted polymer (As-IIP). CFM possesses a positively charged imidazolium moiety and its specific cyclic size matches that of As(III). Batch adsorption experiments showed that the As-IIP has a maximum As(III) adsorption capacity of 55 mg/g, while that of the control polymer (CP) is only 25 mg As(III)/g. Adsorption isotherms for As(III) agree with the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer adsorption. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The relative selectivity coefficients of As-IIP compared to CP for Cl-/H2AsO3-, SO42-/H2AsO3-, HPO42-/H2AsO3-, NO3-/H2AsO3-, and Mo7O246-/H2AsO3- are 1.03, 1.95, 2.55, 1.52 and 2.51, respectively. The removal efficiency of As-IIP for As(III) in actual industrial wastewater was nearly 100%, which confirms that As-IIP has a high adsorption capacity as well as selectivity for the removal of As(III) from wastewater.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
