The invention provides an aminopolycanboxylic acid porous material as well as a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method of the aminopolycanboxylic acid porous material comprises steps as follows: rigid particles are dispersed in an
aqueous solution of polyethyleneimine, the pH value is regulated, an
oil phase is added during stirring, and an oil-in-water
emulsion is obtained; a cross-linking agent is added to the oil-in-water
emulsion for cross-linking, deoiling and
dehydration are performed, and a porous material is obtained by
drying; the porous material is added to an
aqueous solution containing haloacetic acid and subjected to a reaction under the alkaline condition, and the aminopolycanboxylic acid porous material is obtained. When the porous material isused as an adsorbent, the porous material can be regenerated by regulating the pH value, and organic anions are adsorbed under the low pH value and desorbed under the high pH value generally; organiccations are adsorbed under the high pH value and desorbed under the low pH value;
metal ions are adsorbed near the
neutral pH value and can be regenerated when the pH ranges from 1 to 3; compared withthe prior art, the aminopolycanboxylic acid porous material has the characteristics of being large in size, higher in
mechanical strength, easy to regenerate, easy to separate and the like.
