Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, IR and chemical analysis were employe to study the adsorption mechanisms of crosslinked chitosan (CCTSCd) on cadmium. According to IR, it showed that -NH2 groups of chitosan were protected by template method and others -NH2 groups which didn't complex with cadmium ions took part in crosslinking reaction. Investigating the changes of element binding energy of O1s, C1s, N1s and Cd3d of XPS, there were chemical shifts of both N1s and Cd3d5/2 and Cd3d3/2 of the sample of adsorption comparing with unadsorption, but O1s and C1s hadn't. At the same time, N1s peak had a shoulder peak. The results indicate that -NH2 groups on CCTSCd complexes with cadmium ions by N1s fit spectra. The adsorption is a chemical adsorption and the experimental data fits Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The sorbent has selectivity and memory to metal ions.
