Abstract
- The different ratios (PVA and SA) of PVA/SA blend films with cross-linking structure are successfully prepared by coagulating the mixture of sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in aqueous solution, then by treating with crosslinking agent CaCl2solution. The Surface morphology and flexibility of PVA/SA blend films were studied. The results indicate there is some strong interaction and good compatibility between sodium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol molecular. The physical and chemical properties of the PSA-80(PVA:SA=4:1) blend films are obviously improved owing to a molecular force and hydrogen bond interaction. The effects of parameters of the blend film was investigated in relation to its adsorption capability for low concentration ions Cr (VI) including such as SA content of the PVA/SA film, contact time, solution pH and temperature of solution. The results indicate that the maximum adsorption rate is 95.86% at the temperature 50°C under optimized pH 4 for 60min by PSA-80 films.
