Preparation of side chain liquid crystal polyether chelating resin and its adsorption properties for Cu2+ in water
Abstract With epoxycyclohexane as critical modifying monomer, the copolyether was obtained by cationic ring-opening polymerization of epichlorohydrin and epoxycyclohexane. Then biphenyl was used as the mesogen, and diglycolamidic acid was used as the terminal chelating group, a new type of side chain liquid crystal polyether chelating resin was prepared at last. The adsorption influence factors, reuse performance, adsorption model and adsorption kinetics of the chelated resin on Cu 2+ in water were studied systematically. The results showed that the resin has good adsorption and reuse performance for the treatment of Cu 2+ in water, and the adsorption of Cu 2+ is Langmuir monolayer adsorption, and the adsorption process conforms to a quasi-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption performances of the chelated resin has great potential for recovery of copper resource from non-ferrous smelting industry.
