Abstract

In this paper, a new La(III) ion-imprinted polymer La(III)-IIP was prepared by imprinting polymerization method, using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and alkylated mesoporous silica as the carrier. La(III)-IIP was characterized by FTIR and SEM techniques. The material was also used to capture La3+ in low concentration wastewater, and the structural morphology as well as the elemental composition of the material were characterized and analyzed. In addition, based on the characterization and experimental data, the adsorption type of La(III) and the possible adsorption mechanism of the material were further analyzed, and finally, the selective adsorption of lanthanum and the regeneration performance of the material were investigated.
