A series of functional copolymer hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) were synthesized using gamma-radiations-induced copolymerization and crosslinking. Preparation conditions were optimized, and the swelling characteristics were investigated. The ability of the prepared hydrogels to recover some toxic metal ions from their aqueous solutions was studied. The prepared hydrogel showed a great capability to recover metal ions such as: Mnþ2, Coþ2, Cuþ2, and Feþ3 from their solutions. The data revealed that the chelating ability of the prepared hydrogels is mainly dependent on their internal composition, in addition to the physical properties of the metal ion solution such as pH and metal ion concentration. The data show that the chelating ability of the prepared hydrogels increases by increasing the AMPS content in the hydrogel as well as the increment in the pH of the solution and the metal ion concentration. The prepared CMC/AMPS copolymer hydrogels are chemically stable enough to be reused for at least five times with the same efficiency.

The temperature-and pH-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-coacrylic acid) hydrogels, poly(NIPAM-co-AA), were synthesized by radical polymerization. The characterizations of hydrogels based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and acrylic acid (AA) before and after adsorption of heavy metal ions was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Heavy metal ions (Cr, Mn, Pb) adsorbed onto poly(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogels were identified using the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The mechanism of the water transport within the matrix of synthesized poly(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogels at pH 4.5 is Super Case II diffusion, and at pH 6.8 corresponds to the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. The effect of pH, temperature, contact time, and the initial concentration of heavy metals on the adsorption process of Cr(VI), Mn(II), and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions onto poly(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogels were investigated. The kinetic and equilibrium data were best fitted by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic results indicate that the removal process of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by poly(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogels was spontaneous and exothermic in nature. Maximum adsorption capacities of poly(NIPAM-co-AA) hydrogels for heavy metal ions decrease in the following order: Pb(II) [ Cr(VI) [ Mn(II).

Interpenetrating networks (IPNs) based on extracted cellulose and its derivatives such as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), cyanoethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydrazinodeoxycellulose, cellulosephosphate with methacrylamide (MAAm), and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide were synthesized at reaction conditions evaluated for optimum network yield as a function of irradiation dose, concentrations of monomer and crosslinker, and amount of water. These networks were used in sorption of Fe 2ϩ , Cu 2ϩ , and Cr 6ϩ ions. The networks were further functionlized by means of partial hydrolysis with 0.5N NaOH and metal ion sorption studies were carried out. Appreciable amount of all the three ions was sorbed and partial functionalization of the hydrogels results in selectivity in ion sorption with enhanced affinity for Fe 2ϩ ions and total rejection of Cr 6ϩ ions. These results are of interest for the development of low-cost technologies based on smart hydrogels.

Aimed to removal of toxic dyes and heavy metal ions, the magnetic Fe 3 O 4-based starch-poly (acrylic acid) nanocomposite hydrogel (Fe 3 O 4 @St-AcANCH) is designed and synthesized using free radical method. The main procedure for the synthesis of superabsorbent nanocomposite hydrogel is chemical crosslinking of starch and poly (acrylic acid). The as-prepared nanocomposite hydrogel present high removal percentage toward Cu(II), Pb (II), MV and CR solution through a spontaneous physicsorption process that have a good consistence with pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models. It is indicated that nanocomposite hydrogel is an effective adsorbent for removal of dyes and metal ions which would provide a new platform for water and environmental considerations. Finally, the swelling properties and mechanical parameters of the prepared adsorbents were investigated preliminarily.

Adsorption is the most efficient technique for the removal of metal ions and organic dyes from water. This stimulates demand for the preparation of eco-friendly adsorbents. In this study, magnetic hydrogels based on a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose grafted acrylamide (CMC-g-AM) embedded with porous carbon (PC) and citric acid-modified magnetite were prepared. PC was synthesized via single-step oxidation of bagasse under muffled atmosphere condition. The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method (Fe2+/Fe3+) and citric acid modification (CFe). Functionality and parameters of adsorbent were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray. The magnetic hydrogels have a highly effective performance for Pb-ions and methylene blue dye (MB) removal from water due to the unique role of crosslinked CMC matrix in supporting synergy between embedded PC and CFe. Adsorption testing using time intervals (5-120 min) and Pb-ions and MB concentrations (5-500 mg/L) indicate that CMC-g-AM containing equal content of PC and CFe has substantially higher removal efficiency; 70.8 and 96.1 % against 47.8 and 30.2 % (without PC and CFe) for Pb-ions and MB adsorption respectively for CMC-g-AM. The equilibrium time and the maximum sorption capacity (qm) from the adsorption studies were found to be 60 and 30 min and 294.1 and 222.2 mg/g for Pb-ions and MB respectively. The kinetics and isotherms were studied to highlight the adsorption rate and mechanism of the adsorption process.

Cellulose-graft-polyacrylamide/hydroxyapatite composite hydrogels of different weight ratios were prepared through a suspension polymerization method. Physical and chemical characteristics of the composite were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The swelling behaviors of the composite hydrogels were investigated under varying conditions of time, temperature and pH. The optimized swelling capacity in standard conditions was found to be 5197% per gram of the hydrogel. The prepared hydrogel has the potential to be used for ion adsorption in water treatment. Such a possibility was examined through adsorption of copper (II) ions from an aqueous solution. The effects on adsorption of varying the time, pH, and initial concentration of copper (II) solution as well as some thermodynamic parameters were also investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 175 mg per gram of composite hydrogel in dried state. The mechanism of adsorption was well presented using a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Finally, the mercury-loaded hydrogel was regenerated without losing its original activity and stability.
Modified polyacrylamide hydrogels and their application in removal of heavy metal ions
Modified crosslinked polyacrylamides having different functional groups were prepared by Mannich reaction using different amine compounds such as ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) and sulfomethylation reaction. Products were characterized by determination of their basic group content (BGC), hydroxymethyl group content (HMG), equilibrium degree of swelling (EDS) and FT-IR spectra. For Mannich reactions, BGC and EDS changed with amount of employed amine compounds, reaction time and temperature. Sulfomethylation reactions gave products with high BGC and very high EDS. FT-IR spectroscopic analysis confirmed that a parallel hydrolysis reaction occurred along with the expected modification reactions. The products were used for removal of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ion under competitive and non-competitive conditions at different pH. The metal ion removal capacities changed depending their BGC and EDS. While the Mannich products were selective towards Cu(II) ion, the sulfomethylation products were highly selective to Pb(II) ions. The polymers were used several times by regeneration without loss of adsorption capacity and changing of selectivity properties. q

New magnetic bio-sorbent hydrogel beads were prepared based on modified biopolymer gum tragacanth (GT), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and graphene oxide (GO) by using gelation method in the acetone solution of boric acid. The magnetic beads were fully characterized and used as an effective adsorbent for removal of both cationic (crystal violet, CV) and anionic (Congo red, CR) dyes and heavy metal ions such as Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solution. The adsorption rates were described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the experimental data were fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption of 81.78, 69.67, 94.0, and 101.74 mg g-1 for Pb(II), Cu(II), CV, and CR, respectively. The reusability of the beads showed no significant loss of activity after three cycles. These magnetic recyclable beads can be considered as an efficient and low-cost adsorbent for the removal of dyes (cationic and anionic) and heavy metal ions from water, and column applications.

In this work, the synthesis of N-vinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid/2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (NVP/AAc/ AMPS) based hydrogels by UV-curing technique was studied and their swelling behavior, heavy metal ion recovery capabilities were investigated. The structures of hydrogels were characterized by FT-IR analysis and the results were consistent with the expected structures. Thermal gravimetric analysis of hydrogels showed that the thermal stability of hydrogel decreases slightly with incorporation of AMPS units into the structure. In addition, the morphology of the dry hydrogel sample was examined by SEM. According to swelling experiments, hydrogels with higher AMPS content gave relatively higher swelling ratio compared to neat hydrogel. These hydrogels were used for the separation of Cd(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions from their aqueous solutions. The influence of the uptake conditions such as pH, time and initial feed concentration on the metal ion binding capacity of hydrogel was also tested. The selectivity of the hydrogel towards the different metal ions tested was Cd(II) > Cu(II) > Fe(III). It was observed that the specific interaction between metal ions and ionic comonomers in the hydrogel affected the metal binding capacity of the hydrogel. The recovery of metal ions was also investigated in acid media.

Carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(acrylic acid) (CMC-cl-pAA) hydrogel and its magnetic hydrogel nanocomposite (CMC-cl-pAA/ Fe 3 O 4-C30B) were prepared via a free radical polymerization method and used as adsorbents for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye. The samples were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, high-resolution transmission electron microscope, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The adsorption performance of the prepared adsorbents was studied in a batch mode. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were applied in the experimental data to evaluate the nature as well as the mechanism of adsorption processes. It was deduced that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order rate equation and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 1109.55 and 1081.60 mg/g for CMC-cl-pAA hydrogel and CMCcl-pAA/Fe 3 O 4-C30B hydrogel nanocomposite, respectively. The adsorption thermodynamic studies suggested that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic for CMC-cl-pAA/Fe 3 O 4-C30B hydrogel nanocomposite. The homogeneous dispersion of the Fe 3 O 4-C30B nanocomposite in the CMC-cl-pAA hydrogel significantly improved the thermal stability, mechanical strength, and excellent regeneration stability. This study demonstrates the application potential of the fascinating properties of CMC-cl-pAA/Fe 3 O 4-C30B hydrogel nanocomposite as a highly efficient adsorbent in the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution.
