Abstract


The grafted polymer of P(MMA-MAh)- PEGME synthesized was used as adsorbent to remove phenol in aqueous solution. Through the adsorption research of phenol, it was found the removal percentage (%) of phenol was promising when pH was less than 6. With the adsorbent dose increasing, the removal percentage increased, meanwhile the adsorption amount qe (mg g-1) correspondingly decreased. It was taken 35h for the phenol adsorption with the grafted polymer to reach the equilibrium. The study results indicated that the adsorption process was carried out spontaneously; the process was exothermic in nature; the adsorption kinetic of phenol belonged to the Lagergren relation; the adsorption mechanism was well represented with Freundlich isotherm model.
