Two kinds of new type of strong alkali anion exchange fibers (PP-g-Vam-ETA and PP-g-Vam-DAC) have been prepared non-toxically and easily via the quaternary reaction of PP-g-Vam matrix (a kind of weakly basic anion-exchange fiber, produced by our Lab.) with ETA (2,3-epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) and the grafting reaction of PP-g-Vam matrix with DAC (acyrloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride). The exchange capacities of PP-g-Vam-ETA and PP-g-Vam-DAC are 2.1018mmol/g (dry fiber) and 2.0217mmol/g (dry fiber) resp. Its adsorption and desorption performances for NO3-have been studied. The adsorption isotherm curve has been well described by Langmuir equation. The fibers have selective adsorption property for NO3-. The static adsorption capacity of PP-g-Vam-ETA is 11.24 mg/g (dry fiber at pH=3); and PP-g-Vam-DAC is 9.79 mg/g (dry fiber at pH=4). The static desorption rate of the two fibers are above 97%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
