Abstract:A rational screening of cyclodextrin-based polymer (CDP), in terms of the relationship between adsorption potential and adsorbent-adsorbate, was investigated to adsorb and separate pesticides from water. Seven spherical porous CDPs were prepared with onefold or composite cyclodextrin(s) as complex and epichlorohydrin as cross-linking reagent. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the polymers toward a mixture of ten distinct pesticides clearly demonstrate that the adsorbents with a homogeneous open network structure can absorb pesticides via multiple adsorption interactions such as CD inclusion, loading into swelling water and physical adsorption on network. The multivariate regression analysis distinguishes the quantitative contributions of polymer properties to its adsorption potential, among which CD content, swelling capacity and pore size appear to be major influencing factors. Consequently, a facile mixture of three CDPs (i.e., beta-CDP, RM-CDP and HP-CDP) was screened to obtain above prerequisite properties. The multiplex polymer could superiorly separate the pesticides at environmentally relevant levels from water. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
