| Poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid-co-1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), P(AMPS-co-VP), hydrogel was prepared by free radical cross-linking polymerization method. Prepared hydrogel was used in the competitive removal of Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. The characterization of P(AMPS-co-VP) before and after sorption was carried out by the Fourier transform: infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Atomic absorption spectrometer was used to found the concentration of metal ions in the aqueous solution. The selectivity of P(AMPS-co-VP) was as follows: Cd(II)>Pb(II)>Cu(II). Kinetic study showed that competitive removal of heavy metal ions on poly(AMPS-co-VP) was in accordance with a pseudo-second-order model. |
