Abstract: Lignosulfonate-polyethylaniline (LSP) composite was prepared via an in-situ polymerization from N-ethylaniline (NEA) monomers with using lignosulfonate (LS) as a dispersant. The adsorption performance of silver ions on the LSP composite was examined under different adsorption conditions. The results showed that the structure of polyethylaniline was not destroyed by the introducting of LS. Adsorption performances of silver ions onto LSP composites prepared under different LS feed contents are quite different. Meanwhiles, adsorption conditions including adsorption time, initial silver ion concentration and adsorption temperature, greatly affected the adsorption performances. When the LS feed content was 10%, the obtained LSP10 composite exhibited an optimal silver-ion adsorption capacity with saturated adsorption capacity of 1 799.8 mg/g. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism was verified by measuring the decline in pH value of the silver-ion solution during the adsorption process, and by characterizing the product of the LSP10 composite after adsorption. The results showed that silver ions were reduced to silver nanoparticles with diameters of 8-72 nm during the adsorption process by ions exchange and redox reaction between the LSP10 composite and silver ions.
