    Abstract:
    An environmentally friendly lignin-based composite (Lignin-PEI) was facilely prepared via cross-linking enzymatic hydrolysis lignin matrix and branched poly (ethylene imine). The specific physicochemical and structural properties of lignin-PEI were characterized by elemental analysis, N2 physisorption, GPC, TG, SEM, FT-IR and XPS. The nitrogen content of lignin-PEI was 9.02%, and the BET surface area was 20.32 m2/g. The synthetic composite showed high capacity and selectivity of Cr(VI) adsorption. The influence of solution pH, contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and coexisting ions on Cr(VI) adsorption on lignin-PEI was systemically studied. The Cr(VI) adsorption on lignin-PEI was well described by the Langmuir model. According to the Langmuir model, the Cr(VI) adsorption capacity on lignin-PEI was as high as 898.2 mg/g at 318 K and pH 2.0. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, such as ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS, indicated the spontaneous and endothermic adsorption of Cr(VI) on lignin-PEI. The adsorption of Cr(VI) by lignin-PEI was following the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating that it was a chemisorption process. The uptake mechanism was demonstrated to be electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, complexation and partial reduction. This work provided a promising candidate for Cr(VI) uptake with lignin-based biosorbents.
