Abstract

Water-insoluble β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP) crosslinked by citric acid was obtained with a yield of 65% through an environment friendly synthesis procedure. FT-IR spectra disclosed that the hydroxyl groups of β-CD had reacted and condensated with the carboxyl groups of citric acid, and at the same time the structural characteristics of β-CD were essentially maintained in β-CDP. The β-CDP exhibited notable adsorption capability toward phenol (q max = 13.8 mg g−1) and especially large adsorption capability toward methylene blue (q max = 105 mg g−1). The concentration of methylene blue in water could be reduced to 0.11 mg L−1 by the β-CDP, indicating the excellent adsorption sensitivity of β-CDP toward methylene blue. The adsorption results disclosed that the interior cavity and inclusion property of β-CD were maintained in the synthesized β-CDP.
