Abstract

In this work, we aimed to develop a feasible method for in situ preparation of a magnetite ionic polymer nanocomposite at room temperature. For this purpose, acrylonitrile (AN) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) monomers were copolymerized and crosslinked using different monomer mol ratios in the presence of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker to produce ionic crosslinked polymers P(AN-co-AMPS. The nitrile groups were converted to amine amidoxime by reacting with hydroxylamine to increase the adsorption characteristics of the ionic polymers. The produced polymers were swelled in iron cations produced from the reaction of ferric chloride and potassium iodide, followed by reaction with an ammonium hydroxide solution to produce magnetite nano-polymer composites. We performed FT-IR and XRD analysis to determine the chemical and crystalline structures, and assessed the morphologies and magnetite content using SEM, TEM and TGA analyses. We investigated the adsorption capacity and mechanism of the prepared magnetite nano-composites as adsorbents for methylene blue, Co2+ and Ni2+ cations from water.
