Enhanced adsorption of bisphenol - A from water through the application of isocyanurate based hyper crosslinked resin

The widespread utility of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the production of diverse plastic substances including mineral water bottles, food packets, toys, tickets, etc. leads to its release to the environment through industrial effluents that contaminate both the surface and underground water. Given its higher toxicity and harmful effects on both human health and aquatic life, the adsorption of BPA has been the subject of recent studies at present. Herein, we disclose the synthesis of a new hyper cross-linked resin (ICYN-PPA), derived from commercially available 3,3′-(piperazine-1,4-diyl)bis(propan-1-amine) and tris(2,3-epoxypropyl) isocyanurate in a single step reaction, and its adsorptive performance for the removal of BPA from aqueous solution. The thermally stable ICYN-PPA, which is porous and exhibits different sizes of particles on its surface, displayed optimum removal of BPA. The isothermal studies were well represented by the Koble-Corrigan model, where the capacity increased from 216.6 to 228.6 mg g−1 with an increasing temperature of 318 K. The linear driving force model (LDF) was efficient in representing the kinetic data. Whereas the system tends to reach equilibrium after 350 min. The surface diffusion coefficients were 1.301 × 10−16 and 1.859 × 10−16 cm2 s−1 for BPA adsorption on isocyanurate based hyper crosslinked resins. The thermodynamic parameters confirmed the endothermic nature of the process (ΔH0 = 35.83 kJ mol−1) based on physical interactions.
