The micron-sized PGMA microspheres were prepared by a dispersion polym erization method and subsequently modified by ring-opening reaction to introduce functional hydroxyl groups. The polymer microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. The results indicated that the polymer microspheres had an average diameter of 5 m with uniform size distribution. The free amino group content was determined to be 5.13 mmol·g^-1 for g;PGMA-NH2 microspheres by potentiometric and conductometric titration methods. The Cr（VI） adsorption results indicated that the graft polymerization of tentacle-type polymer chains on the polymer microspheres could produce adsorbents with high adsorption capacity （500 mg-g-l）. The polymer microspheres with grafted tentacle polymer chains have potenial application in large-scale removal of Cr（VI） in aqueous solution.展开更多

Gold nanoparticle-coated PGMA functional microspheres can be directly obtained via the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics follows pseudo-second model, and 10 min is enough for reaching at equilibrium. The adsorption isotherm follows Langmuir model, and the adsorption amounts for Au（Ⅲ） are 8.25 and 21.75 mol·kg^-1 at 298 and 328 K, respectively. The relative separation coefficients between Au（Ⅲ）, Pt（Ⅵ）, Pd（Ⅱ）and Co（Ⅱ）, Cu（Ⅱ）; Ni（Ⅱ）, Fe（Ⅲ） are all higher than 100 when 1 〈 pH 〈 3. Furthermore, the characterization analysis of X-ray diffraction（XRD）, thermogravimetrydifferential scanning calorimetry（TG-DSC）, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy（SEM-EDS）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） confirms that AuCl4^-has been reduced to Au^0 nanoparticles and deposited onto the surface of PGMA-NH2. The current work shows a good prospect for PGMA-NH2 to be a valid adsorbent for the recovery of gold and the possible fabrication of gold nanoparticles by reduction-deposition process without any reductant.展开更多
