Study on Adsorption Property of Collagen Fiber Loaded Hyperbranched Polyamide-Amine Toward Cr (VI)

Collagen fiber loaded hyperbranched polyamide-amine(CF-HBPN) was prepared by the crosslinking power of glutaraldehyde. The structure of CF-HBPN before and after adsorption was characterized and analyzed via scanning electron microscopy. The CF-HBPN was effective adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic of the adsorption process were studied. The experimental results were fitted using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin equations. The experimental results indicated that the Langmuir isotherm was better in describing the adsorption process. Two kinetic models, the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order, were used to analyze the kinetic data. The pseudo-second order model was proven to be better in describing the adsorption behavior.
