Study of Cadmium Wastewater Treatment with Polymer PHA Containing Hydroxamic Acid Groups
Polymer heavy metal chelating agent containing hydroxamic acid groups (PHA) was made in order to observe its effects on the removal rate of Cd2+. The present study reaches the following results: (1) On conditions that pH value is 8.0, the chelating agent is 60mg•L-1and the reaction time is 60min, the highest chelating capacity of the polymer heavy metal chelating agent PHA can reach 341 mg/g. (2) The existence of common cations: K+, Na+and Mg2+can improve PHA’s ability to remove Cd2+. (3) The existence of common anions Cl-, SO42-and NO3-can improve PHA’s ability to remove Cd2+. (4) Co-existing with the turbidity-causing materials, PHA’s removal abilities of Cd2+and turbidity are mutually promotive. (5) The chelating product, Cd-PHA’s amount of leaching of Cd2+is only 1/11 of that in neutralization titration ,having a relatively higher stability and better environmental safety.
