A novel adsorbent named lipoid adsorption material (LAM),with a hydrophobic nucleolus (triolein) and a hydrophilic membrane structure (polyamide),was synthesized to remove hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) from solution.Triolein,a type of lipoid,was entrapped by the polyamide membrane through an interfacial polymerization reaction.The method of preparation and the structure of the LAM were investigated and subsequent experiments were conducted to determine the characteristics of atrazine (a type of HOC) removal from wastewater using LAM as the adsorbent.The results showed that LAM had a regular structure compared with the prepolymer,where compact particles were linked with each other and openings were present in the structure of the LAM in which the fat drops formed from triolein were entrapped.In contrast to the atrazine adsorption behavior of powdered activated carbon (PAC),LAM showed a persistent adsorption capacity for atrazine when initial concentrations of 0.57,1.12,8.31 and 19.01 mg/L were present,and the equilibrium time was 12 hr.Using an 8 mg/L initial concentration of atrazine as an indicator of HOCs in aqueous solution,experiments on the adsorption capacity of the LAM showed 69.3％ removal within 6-12 hr contact time,which was close to the 75.5％removal of atrazine by PAC.Results indicated that LAM has two atrazine removal mechanisms,namely the bioaccumulation of atrazine by the nucleous material and physical adsorption to the LAM membrane.Bioaccumulation was the main removal mechanism.
