A low-cost and environmentally friendly modified alginate aerogel (Alg-NH2) was developed by chemical grafting technology and simple vacuum freeze-drying method for remove Pb2+ in wastewater.Results showed that the prepared Alg-NH2 showed high adsorption capacity and selectivity for Pb2+,which had the selectivity coefficient of >40 among other metal ions.Alg-NH2 can adsorb 96.4% of Pb2+ in aqueous solution.The maximum adsorption capacity of Alg-NH2 for Pb2+ was 217.2mg·g-1.The prepared Alg-NH2 could remove Pb2+ from aqueous solution in a wide pH range,i.e.,pH 3 to pH 7.Moreover,the Alg-NH2 could also be regenerated using simple acid washing and used repeatedly without loss in performance.Pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were adopted to fit the kinetic data to investigate the rate controlling and kinetic mechanism involved in the adsorption process.The values of r(0.9948) indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted better with the kinetic data,which suggested that chemisorption was the rate determining step for the adsorption process.Further XPS analysis of samples before and after adsorption showed that Alg-NH2 binded Pb2+ mainly through ion exchange and chemical coordination.
