The invention discloses a
polysaccharide-based heavy
metal adsorption material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a NaOH
solid in an
ethanol solution to obtain an
alcohol solution of NaOH; taking and dissolving
citrus pectin powder in the
alcohol solution of NaOH, and performing a stirring reaction; standing the obtained product overnight, carrying out reduced pressure
filtration, dissolving the obtained filter residue in the
ethanol solution, adjusting the obtained solution to be strong acidic, and standing the adjusted solution;carrying out reduced pressure
filtration on the obtained product, dissolving the obtained filter residue in a
mixed solution of an
ethanol solution and a HCl solution, and carrying out a stirring reaction; carrying out reduced pressure
filtration on the obtained product, flushing the obtained filter residue with the ethanol solution, and freeze-
drying the filter residue to obtain modified pectinpowder; dissolving the modified
pectin powder in deionized water to obtain a modified
pectin solution; dropwise adding the modified
pectin solution to a
calcium chloride solution while stirring, and carrying out a reaction; and filtering the obtained solution by a screen after the reaction is completed to obtain microspheres, cleaning the microspheres with deionized water, and freeze-
drying the cleaned microspheres to obtain
calcium ion-crosslinked modified pectin microspheres which are the heavy
metal adsorption material.
