摘要

This study highlights the development of an environmentally friendly and efficient cation exchanger for the removal of Pb(II) ions from water. The semi-IPN structure was transformed into an IPN (PAipnHPMA) by interpenetrating poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) chains within the matrix under pre-optimized reaction conditions. The IPN was subsequently phosphorylated to produce the cation exchanger (PAipn/CE). Removal percentage of lead metal ion was calculated under various conditions, including a reaction time of 300 min, pH 6.0, adsorbent dosage of 75 mg, temperature of 30 °C, and an initial metal ion concentration of 2.0 ppm. The IEC was measured at 0.61 milliequivalent g−1, with Pb(II) removal efficiency of 84.73%. Adsorption isotherm analysis revealed a rate constant (Kf) of 1.1210 and R2 = 0.95, aligning with the Freundlich isotherm model. Thermodynamic parameters, such as entropy (ΔS°), enthalpy (ΔH°), and Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°), were assessed using a Van’t Hoff plot, confirming the spontaneity and feasibility of the adsorption process based on negative ΔG° values across six temperature levels. The PAipn/CE exhibited outstanding performance in Pb(II) elimination. Additionally, re-usability tests indicated that the cation exchanger maintained effective performance over four cycles, with Pb(II) removal percentages ranging from 84.38 to 67.7% by the fourth cycle.
