In this study, magnetic amination chitosan (MACTS) beads were prepared by diethylenetriamine. The beads had high adsorption capacity, reusability and selective separation for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cr(VI). By SEM and BET, the beads were spherical structure with many mesoporous, and the mesoporous played an important role in column filling of physical adsorption. The -NH2 and -OH were functional groups for chemical adsorption by FT-IR. Eight thermodynamic and three kinetic models were used to fit the experimental data. It confirmed that the metal ion adsorption on the heterogeneous surface of MACTS included multilayer physical and chemical adsorptions. The chemical adsorption played a decisive role, and the column filling maintained equilibrium adsorption rate with the increase of the initial ion concentration. The optimal pH for adsorption of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cr(VI) was 6.0, 6.0 and 3.0, respectively. Based on the adsorption sequence: Cu(II)>Zn(II)>Cr(VI) at pH 6.0, the MACTS was used to separate and accumulate the metal ions completely. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
