Removal of Heavy Metal Ion in Wastewater by Dendritic Nano-Structured Complex Material

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2019 Feb 1;19(2):1010-1013. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2019.15960.

Abstract

The specific adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal were synthesized by polyamidoamine dendrimer and blast furnace slag, and their physico-chemical properties were evaluated in this study. The batch experiment was evaluated the adsorptive water treatment capability of adsorbent, and the zeta potential and surface morphology were analyzed for evaluating of the material. In result, 10% volume loading adsorbent presented the high yields of heavy metal adsorption in water phase, and Cr (III) interacted highly with dendrimer adsorbents. Furthermore, it was evaluated that the adsorption properties of dendrimer adsorbent were increased with increasing the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer.
