A granular hydrogel of chitosan-g-poly(vinylimidazole-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid) was successfully synthesized by one-step free radical polymerization based on the grafting backbone of chitosan and the monomers of vinylimidazole and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid. The resulting hydrogel could be used as the adsorbent for the efficient and selective removal of Hg²⁺ ions from the aqueous solution. The adsorption results could be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic mode and the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 363.55 mg/g for Hg²⁺. Furthermore, the as-prepared granular hydrogel exhibited an excellent cycling stability for the adsorption of Hg²⁺ after multiple repeated adsorption-desorption process. It suggested that the obtained granular hydrogel has potential application for Hg²⁺ removal and recovery from wastewater. Graphical Abstract A kind of granular hydrogel with excellent selectivity adsorption of Hg2+ ions was successfully synthesized by grafting polymerization of VIM and AMPS onto the CTS backbone via a facile free radical polymerization.
