Mussel-inspired synthesis of polydopamine-functionalized calcium carbonate as reusable adsorbents for heavy metal ions

Abstract

A new high-efficiency adsorbent (PDA-CaCO3) is fabricated via simple thermal calcination of ostracean shells and chemical modification with dopamine. The adsorption capacity for Pb(II) and Cd(II) was 336.32 and 175.48 mg g−1, respectively. Importantly, it can be easily regenerated by low-cost reagents, and exhibited a high adsorption capacity after multiple adsorption–desorption cycles.
