Belonging to the field of modified
silica gel adsorbents, the invention particularly relates to a di-amidoxime group containing modified
silica gel adsorbent specific to heavy
metal copper ions in an adsorption solution and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes: taking
silica gel as a starting
raw material, conducting activation by a
methanesulfonic acid solution, performing impregnation in a
toluene solution of KH550, carrying out
drying, then adding the obtained dry particles into an N, N-
dimethylformamide solution of
acrylonitrile to undergo first modification, and carrying out a treatment, then adding the dried first modified particles into a
mixed solution of a
hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution and a
sodium carbonate solution to perform second modification, and conducting a treatment, thus obtaining dried second modified particles, i.e. a di-amidoxime group containing modified silica gel adsorbent finished product. The di-amidoxime group involved in the invention can be chelated with a heavy
metal, thus having a strong
adsorption effect on heavy
metal copper ions. And compared with single-
oxime group adsorbents, the di-amidoxime group containing modified silica gel adsorbent disclosed in the invention has substantially improved adsorption performance on
copper ions, and the adsorption capacity is increased to 30mg / g.
