Abstract:

Starch graft copolymer microspheres were synthesized by inverse suspension polymerization with N,N'- methylenebisacrylamide and soluble starch, using K2S2O8-NaHSO3 as initiator. The adsorption behavior of starch graft copolymer microspheres to Cd2+ was investigated. The starch graft copolymer microspheres and their adsorption products were characterized with scan electron microscope (SEM), FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the adsorption behavior of the copolymer microspheres to Cd2+ is adapted to Langmiur and Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation. Furthermore, the adsorption of Cd2+ on microspheres not only decreases their crystallinity but promotes the rupture of bonds among their main chains.

Key words: starch graft copolymer microspheres, adsorption, Cd2+, behavior
