ABSTRACT
This article reports on the synthesis of an innovative smart polymer, P5-QPDMAEMA, opportunely developed with the aim of combining the responsiveness of PDMAEMA polymer and the host-guest properties of covalently linked pillar[5]arenes. Thanks to a traditional Non-Induced Phase Separation (NIPS) process performed at various coagulation pH, the blending of P5-QPDMAEMA with polyethersulfone gave rise to the formation of functional beads for the removal of organic dyes in water. Adsorption tests are carried out on all the produced blend-based beads by employing two representative dyes, the cationic methylene blue (MB), and the anionic methyl orange (MO). In particular, the P5-QPDMAEMA based beads, prepared at acidic pH, featured the best MO removal rate (i. e., 91.3 % after 150â
minutes starting from a 20â
mg â
L-1 solution) and a high selectivity towards the removal of the selected anionic dye. Based on the adsorption kinetics and isotherm calculations, the pseudo-first order and Freundlich models were shown to be the most suitable to describe the MO adsorption behavior, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 21.54â
mg â
g-1. Furthermore, zwitterionic beads are obtained by a post-functionalization of the PDMAEMA and the P5-QPDMAEMA based beads, to test their removal capability towards both anionic and cationic dyes, as shown.
