以脱脂棉纤维素(Cellulose,Ce)为原料,以丙烯酸(AA)和丙烯酰胺(AM)为单体,使用酸性离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐([Bmim]HSO4)为溶剂和水解催化剂对纤维素进行水解和改性,然后对改性纤维素进行高压均质处理制备出纳米纤维素吸附剂(AA/AM-g-NC)。对AA/AM-g-NC的结构和性能进行表征,并以亚甲基蓝为吸附质研究了对AA/AM-g-NC的吸附性能。结果表明,离子液体辅助高压均质处理脱脂棉后得到纤丝交联网状结构的AA/AM-g-NC吸附剂。这种吸附剂的晶型保持了纤维素Ⅰ型结构,结晶度略有提高;AA/AM-g-NC吸附剂表面接有丙烯酸和丙烯酰胺官能团,对亚甲基蓝的吸附受pH值的影响且为自发放热过程,并符合Langmuir吸附等温式;吸附过程接近准二级动力学方程,由颗粒的内扩散和表面扩散共同控制。

Nanocellulose adsorbent (AA/AM-g-NC) from cotton linter was successfully prepared by high pressure homogenization with the assistance of an ionic liquid. The cotton linter was first swelled, hydrolyzed and grafted with acrylic acid and acrylamide in an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Bmim]HSO4)), and then further treated by high pressure homogenization and finally AA/AM-g-NC was obtained. The AA/AM-g-NC adsorbent was characterized and used as adsorbent to adsorb methylene blue. The results show that after the treatment of high pressure homogenization assisted with hydrolysis and graft in ionic liquid AA/AM-g-NC illustrated as crosslinked net with fibril. The crystalline of AA/AM-g-NC remained as cellulose Ⅰ type, with a little increase in the crystallinity. The appearance of functional group from acrylic acid and acrylamide on the AA/AM-g-NC surface was proved. The sorption process towards methylene blue was pH value dependent, spontaneous, exothermic and followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. And the adsorption kinetic is closer to the quasi-second order kinetic equation and controlled by both intraparticle diffusion and surface diffusion.

纤维素是天然可再生高分子材料,且无毒、可降解和价格低廉。因为化石能源短缺和化石燃料环境污染,开发和应用纤维素可再生材料极为重要。纤维素的结构中含有大量的羟基,具有一定的吸附能力但是吸附容量很低。对纤维素进行化学改性引入新的官能团,可显著提高其吸附性能[1~4]。将纤维素的尺寸降低到纳米级,也称为纳米纤维素(NC),可增大其长径比和比表面积,使其吸附性能提高[5,6]。对纤维素进行化学或物理处理,可得到纳米纤维素(至少有一维尺寸达到纳米级)。与传统的纤维素相比,纳米纤维素具有高强度、高比表面积、高杨氏模量和长径比大等性能,是目前纤维素科学和技术领域中最具发展潜力的材料之一[7,8]。目前对纤维素吸附剂的研究比较多,但是对纳米纤维素吸附剂的研究比较少[9]。
制备纳米纤维素的常用方法,有机械法、酸解法和酶解法。其中机械法能耗大,成本高;酸水解法对设备的要求苛刻,残留物难以回收和后处理;酶解法的效率不高,反应条件尚需优化。因此开发绿色高效的纳米纤维素制备方法,是该领域的研究热点。
1 实验方法
1.1 实验用原料
脱脂棉纤维素;离子液体为1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐([Bmim]HSO4)(熔点为28℃,纯度99%);丙烯酸、过硫酸钾、丙酰胺和无水乙醇,纯度99%以上。
1.2 纳米纤维素和纳米纤维吸附剂(AA/AM-g-NC)的制备
NC的制备:将1 g脱脂棉纤维和20 g离子液体 [Bmim]HSO4加入250 mL三口烧瓶中,将三口烧瓶置于100℃油浴锅中加热且均匀搅拌以使脱脂棉纤维完全溶胀、分散并水解,反应2 h后将纤维素溶液在温水浴中超声30 min,然后用无水乙醇和蒸馏水反复离心(2000 r/min)洗涤至中性。将洗涤后的纤维素均匀分散在超纯水(浓度在1%左右)中,放入高压细胞均质机中使其进一步超微细化。为了防止高压过程中的温度过高,实验在5℃的冷却水循环机中进行。高压均质后,取上清液分析备用。
AA/AM-g-NC的制备:将1 g脱脂棉纤维和适量的离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐([Bmim]HSO4)加入250 mL三口烧瓶中,将三口烧瓶置于100℃油浴锅中加热且均匀搅拌以使脱脂棉纤维完全溶胀并分散;将分散后的纤维素离子液体溶液的温度降至40~50℃,然后在N2保护下按比例加入一定质量的引发剂过硫酸钾,继续通N2并在匀速搅拌下加入一定比例的单体丙烯酰胺(AM)、80%中和度的丙烯酸(AA)和交联剂N,N-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺,继续反应3 h。反应结束后在离心机中用蒸馏水和无水乙醇或丙酮反复离心洗涤,并用丙酮作为溶剂索氏抽提去除均聚物;随后将抽提后的纤维素基接枝共聚物(记为AA/AM-g-Ce)均匀分散在超纯水中,形成均匀的水相分散液(浓度在1%~2%左右)。将分散液放入高压细胞均质机中,利用匀质机内的匀质阀突然失压形成的空穴效应和高速冲击,使悬浮液进一步超微细化。为了防止高压过程中温度过高,实验在5℃的冷却水循环机中进行。高压均质后即可得到纳米纤维素基接枝共聚物胶体溶液,将其冷冻干燥后得到纳米纤维素吸附剂,记为AA/AM-g-NC。

Heavy metal adsorbents prepared from the modification of cellulose: A review
[J].A number of industries currently produce varying concentrations of heavy metal laden waste streams with significant consequences for any receiving environmental compartment. In recent years, increasing emphasis has been placed on environmental impact minimisation and resulting from this the range and capability of natural and prepared materials capable of heavy metal removal has seen steady development. In particular considerable work has been carried out on the use of both natural materials and their modifications. These natural materials, in many instances are relatively cheap, abundant in supply and have significant potential for modification and ultimately enhancement of their adsorption capabilities. This review paper reviews the current state of research on the use of the naturally occurring material cellulose, its modified forms and their efficacy as adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from waste streams. Adsorbents based on direct modification of cellulose are evaluated initially and subsequently modifications resulting from the grafting of selected monomers to the cellulose backbone with subsequent functionalisation are assessed. The heavy metal adsorption capacities for these modified cellulose materials were found to be significant and levels of uptake were comparable, in many instances, to both other naturally occurring adsorbent materials and commercial ion exchange type resins. Many of the modified cellulose adsorbents proved regenerable and re-usable over a number of adsorption/desorption cycles allowing recovery of the adsorbed heavy metal in a more concentrated form.

Biosorption of copper(II) and lead(II) from aqueous solution by chaff in a fixed-bed column
[J].In this article, the ability of chaff to adsorb heavy metal ions from aqueous solution was investigated in a fixed-bed column. The effect of important parameters, such as the value of pH, the flow rate, the influent concentration of solution and the effect of coexistence ions, was studied. Also the adsorption/desorption recycles of chaff were shown, and the results indicated that chaff could be recycled to remove heavy metal ions. The Thomas model was applied to adsorption of copper and lead at different flow rate and different influent concentration to predict the breakthrough curves and to determine the characteristic parameters of the column useful for process design. The model was found suitable for describing the biosorption process of the dynamic behavior of the chaff column. All the results suggested that chaff as adsorbent to removal heavy metal ions from solution prove efficient, and the rate of biosorption process is speedy. Furthermore, the efficiency of adsorption is high. When the flow rate was 3.6 ml min(-1) and the influent concentration of copper and lead was 14.82 mg l(-1) and 50.12 mg l(-1) respectively, the equilibrium adsorption biomass reached 1.98 mg g(-1) and 6.72 mg g(-1), respectively. The competitive adsorption for lead and copper was studied. Moreover the total adsorbing capability of chaff did not decrease when there were both copper(II) and lead(II) in solution.
Removal of Fe(II) ions from aqueous solution by Calabrian pine bark wastes
[J].The ability of Calabrian pine bark wastes (Pinus brutia Ten) for the removal of Fe(II) ions from aqueous solution at different concentrations and temperatures at a fixed pH was investigated. While the amounts of Fe(II) ions adsorbed onto the bark increased with increasing concentration, it increased slightly with increasing the temperature. Kinetics studies showed that adsorption process followed the first-order kinetic model as well as intra-particle diffusion kinetics. Adsorption isotherm followed both Langmuir and Freundlich models. And it was determined that the adsorption was favorable from a dimensionless factor, R(L). Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the removal of Fe(II) by the bark was a physical process.
Removal of copper from aqueous solution by aminated and protonated mesoporous aluminas: kinetics and equilibrium
[J].A novel adsorbent, aminated and protonated mesoporous alumina, was prepared and employed for the removal of copper from aqueous solution at concentrations between 5 and 30 mg/l, in batch equilibrium experiments, in order to determine its adsorption properties. The removal of copper by the adsorbents increases with increasing adsorbent dosages. The adsorption mechanism is assumed to be an ion exchange between copper and the hydrogen ions present on the surface of the mesoporous alumina. The adsorbent was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, and BET methods. The sorption data have been analyzed and fitted to linearized adsorption isotherm of the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Redlich-Peterson models. The batch sorption kinetics have been tested for first-order, pseudo-first-order, and pseudo-second-order kinetic reaction models. The rate constants of adsorption for all these kinetic models have been calculated. Results also showed that the intraparticle diffusion of Cu(II) on the mesoporous catalyst was the main rate-limiting step.
