Abstract:
Dextran-chitosan (DC) macromolecule resin was synthesized by ultrasonic heating and applied to adsorb various heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cd2+). The morphology and structure of the samples were characterized by various testing methods. The effects of five factors on the adsorption properties were studied. The adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics and isotherm models were discussed theoretically. The results show that the adsorption of heavy metal ions by DC resin is a spontaneous single molecule chemical adsorption, and the adsorption capacities of DC resin for Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 342 mg g-1, 232 mg g-1, 184 mg g-1, 395 mg g-1, and 269 mg g-1, respectively at 20 °C, pH = 7 and adsorbent dose is 0.01 g. In addition, DC resin adsorbent has good reusability.

Determining the composition of a solution is an important analytical and forensic technique. When solutions are made with water, they are referred to as being aqueous, or containing water. The primary component of a solution is referred to as the solvent, and the dissolved minor component is called the solute. The solute is dissolved in the solvent to make a solution. Water is the most common...

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...

Organisms contain a wide variety of organic molecules with numerous functions which depend on the chemical structures and properties of these molecules. All organic molecules contain a carbon backbone and hydrogen atoms. The carbon atom is central in the formation of a vast variety of organic molecules ranging in size, shape and complexity; inorganic molecules on the other hand, generally have simpler structures. The outermost shell of a free carbon atom can accommodate eight...
