ADSORPTION OF TANNIN FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION ONTO MACROPOROUS CROSSLINKED POLY(N-VINYL-ACETAMIDE) VIA HYDROGEN BONDING

A strongly hydrophilic hydrogen-bonding adsorbent-macroporous crosslinked poly(N- vinyl-acetamide). which contain both hydrogen bond acceptor and donator, was synthesized. Adsorption mechanism and dynamic adsorption of tannin from aqueous solution onto the adsorbent were investigated. Most of the differential adsorption heats for various adsorption capacities calculated from the adsorption isotherms according to Clapeyron-Clausius equation lay in the range of hydrogen bond energy (8-50kJ/mol). Adsorption properties of the adsorbent were studied in detail. These results revealed a hydrogen bonding mechanism of the adsorption of tannin from aqueous solution onto the adsorbent. The result of the dynamic adsorption of tanning with the initial concentration under 600 mg/L showed that the adsorption rate of tannin exceeded 90% when the flow rate was 3BV/h and the effluent volume reached 100 BV. Therefore, the developed hydrogen-bonding adsorbent--macroporous crosslinked poly(N-vinyl-acetamide)—is an excellent adsorbent to remove tannin from extract of natural products. and has great value in application.
