Abstract

Under alkaline conditions, carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan with different degree of substitution (DS) was prepared through the reaction of monochloroacetic acid ( MCA) and konjac glucomannan ( KGM) using isopropyl alcohol as dispersing agent. The effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, the amounts of MCA and NaOH on DS and reaction yield were studied, the optimum reaction conditions are as follows: n (KGM) : n (MCA) : n (NaOH) =1:1:2, reacting at 50°C for 4 h. The prepared products were crosslinked with epichlorohydrin ( ECH), the crosslinked carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan (CCMKGM) was able to adsorb Pb2+ effectively, it has good adsorptive performance and the desorption percentage is high.
