A new adsorbent(A-PGMA) has been synthesized via functionalizing poly(glycidyl methacrylate) microsphere with 2-aminothiazole and used to adsorb gold ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer⁻Emmett⁻Teller (BET), Zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The influence factors such as the pH value of the solution, the initial gold ion concentration and the contact time were examined. Simultaneously, the adsorption process of the gold ion on A-PGMA fitted well with the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 440.54 mg/g and the equilibrium time of adsorption was about 3 h under pH 4. Moreover, the adsorbent has a high reusability after five cycles and good selectivity from coexisting ions, including Zn(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Ge(IV) and B(III). The adsorption mechanisms of gold ions were ion exchange and chelation between the sulfur and nitrogen groups on the surface of A-PGMA and AuCl₄ - . Therefore, the adsorbent has a great potential for adsorption of gold ions from aqueous solutions.
