In this study, a versatile polymeric material was synthesized by grafting Calcon Carboxylic Acid (CCA), which is known as a chelating agent for some metal ions, to polyacrylamide (PAA) structure. Thus, the adsorptive properties of inert PAA polymer were significantly improved owing to this procedure. The obtained new material, CCA-g-PAA, was characterized by point zero charge (PZC), FTIR, SEM, and UV-VIS-NIR analysis. The adsorption properties of new material were investigated comprehensively and experimental variables were optimized such as pH, temperature, time, and concentration. Experimental data were evaluated by using theoretical adsorption models. The maximum adsorption capacity of material was calculated as 0.079molkg-1 by considering Langmuir equation. The constants calculated from Freundlich and DR model were found as 6.98 and 0.441, respectively. Adsorption kinetic was also explained with pseudo second order and intra particular diffusion models. Experimental studies were showed that adsorption was endothermic and occurred spontaneously. The developed material has important advantages such as reusability, cost-effective synthesis procedure, high adsorption capacity, and selectivity.
