A crosslinked β-cyclodextrin polymer used for rapid removal of a broad-spectrum of organic micropollutants from water.
Carbohydrate Polymers 2017 December 2
Organic micropollutants in aquatic environment such as plasticizer, pesticide and pharmaceuticals, have posed a serious threat to human health and are emerging as a great challenge to humanity. Traditional water treatment techniques fail to achieve high removal efficiency for low concentration of organic micropollutants. Here we demonstrate a water-insoluble crosslinked β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) polymer able to remove a broad-spectrum of organic micropollutants from water by rapid adsorption. A family of β-CD polymers (β-CDPs) were synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of β-CD hydroxyl groups and 4,4'-difluorodiphenylsulfone. The β-CDPs were used to adsorb various organic micropollutants in water by static or dynamic adsorption process. It was found that more than 99% micropollutants in water were removed by flowing the feed water through the column of β-CDPs. The results of static adsorption experiments indicated the adsorption process was fast and the adsorption capacity was very high (the maximal value was 113.0mg of bisphenol A per gram of β-CDP). The adsorption process was fitted well with the quasi-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, suggesting that it is mainly a chemical adsorption of monolayer. The water-insoluble characteristic of the β-CDPs is convenient for their separation from the treated solution after adsorption saturation for regeneration and reuse. The adsorption ability of β-CDPs was kept nearly unchanged after five filtration-regeneration cycles.
