Swelling and methylene blue adsorption of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel
چکیده انگلیسی
Dyes from wastewater have a negative impact on health and environment, even at low concentrations. Several methods have been proposed for their removal, one of them is using hydrogels as adsorbents for wastewater treatment. In this work, we propose N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer (p(HEMA-co-DMAa)) as an adsorbent alternative. Swelling behavior as function of pH and temperature was studied. Morphological characterization of crosslinked copolymer and its hydrogel structure were performed by SEM analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. Swelling measurements and sorption studies were made using methylene blue (as cationic dye model) under different medium pH. Results from confocal images of swollen p(HEMA-co-DMAa) in methylene blue solutions indicate a macroporous material formed. The dye diffuses homogeneously through the entire hydrogel during swelling. The p(HEMA-co-DMAa) hydrogels were able to uptake up to 3.6 times their weight of water depending on temperature; the lower the equilibrium temperature the higher the water uptake. P(HEMA-co-DMAa) hydrogels adsorption capacity is competitive compared with other adsorbents already reported. It was determined that the LCST of the hydrogel at 321 K and the formation of a complex at pH = 8. The optimal removal time was at 4 h after the copolymer was added. The hydrogel was stable (as suggested by FTIR spectrum) and able to uptake methylene blue in a wide pH range. Therefore, it is suitable as adsorbent alternative; additionally, the p(HEMA-co-DMAa) hydrogels would be environmentally friendly due to their biocompatibility and non-cytotoxicity.
