[Cooperative adsorption of 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine onto hyper-crosslinked polymeric adsorbents]

Cooperative simultaneous adsorptions of 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine from aqueous solutions on hyper-cross-linked polymeric adsorbents (NDA103 and NDA100) were investigated. The results indicate that at the higher equilibrium concentrations, the total uptake amounts of 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine in binary systems (1-naphthol: 1-naphthylamine = 3:1, 1:1, 1:3) are obvious larger than the pure uptake amounts in single systems, and a large excess was noted on the particle surface at saturation, which is presumably due to the cooperative effect primarily arisen from the hydrogen bonding or weak acid-base interaction between 1-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine. The adsorption isotherms for them in both single and binary systems can be well fitted by Langmuir equation. The increasing temperature from 293 K to 313 K puts much more effect on the cooperative coefficient of simultaneous adsorption of 1-naphthylamine and 1-naphthol on NDA103 than on NDA100. The amino groups on NDA103 enhance the adsorption affinity as well as the cooperative coefficient of 1-naphthol.
