The poly (acrylic acid)/Bentonite composites (PAA/Bent) was prepared by in-situ polymerization. The structure of PAA/Bent was characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM, which indicated that AA intercalated into the interlayers of bentonite, and composite was formed between Bent and PAA. The PAA/Bent was used as a polymer adsorbent to remove methylene blue, a typical cationic dyes. Some important influencing factors on removing MB by PAA/Bent were investigated. The optimum adsorption conditions were obtained as following: the PAA/Bent dosage is 0.08 g, contacting 20 min at room temperature (25 °C), the pH value had little effect on MB adsorption, PAA/Bent can be used to treat wastewater with a broad range of pH value. The removal ratio of MB got to 99.4 %, and the adsorption capacity was 310.7 mgg-1. The removal mechanism is also investigated. It was charge neutralization and physical adsorption. In summary, the results indicated that PAA/Bent is an effective adsorbent and can be used to treat high concentration of MB wastewater.

In this paper, a new kind of poly(acrylic acid) modified clay adsorbent, the poly(acrylic acid)/bentonite composite (PAA/HB) was prepared by in-situ polymerization, and utilized to remove lead(II) ions from solutions. The maximum adsorption of adsorbent is at pH 5 for metal ions, whereas the adsorption starts at pH 2. The effects of contact time (5–60 min), initial concentration of metal ions (200–1,000 mg/L) and adsorbent dosage (0.04–0.12 g/100 mL) have been reported in this article. The experimental data were investigated by means of kinetic and equilibrium adsorption isotherms. The kinetic data were analyzed by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equation. The experimental data fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model very well. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were tried for the system to better understand the adsorption isotherm process. The maximal adsorption capacity of the lead(II) ions on the PAA/HB, as calculated from the Langmuir model, was 769.2 mg/g. The results in this study indicated that PAA/HB was an attractive candidate for removing lead(II) (99%).
