An amphiphilic polymeric chelator (APC16-g-SX) grafted with sodium xanthate (SX) groups was successfully prepared for the efficient removal of high concentrations of Cu(II) from wastewater. The ordinary polymeric chelator (PAM-g-SX) based on linear polyacrylamide (PAM) was also prepared for comparative studies. The polymeric chelators were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), elemental analyzer, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The chelating performance of these polymeric chelators was investigated, and the mechanism of APC16-g-SX for enhanced removal of Cu(II) from wastewater was proposed based on fluorescence spectroscopy, cryo-scanning electron microscope (Cryo-SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) tests. The results show that as the initial Cu(II) concentration in the wastewater increases, APC16-g-SX shows more excellent chelating performance than ordinary PAM-g-SX. For the wastewater with an initial Cu(II) concentration of 200 mg/L, the removal rate of Cu(II) was 99.82% and 89.34% for both 500 mg/L APC16-g-SX and PAM-g-SX, respectively. The pH of the system has a very great influence on the chelating performance of the polymeric chelators, and the increase in pH of the system helps to improve the chelating performance. The results of EDS and XPS tests also show that N, O, and S atoms in APC16-g-SX were involved in the chelation of Cu(II). The mechanism of enhanced removal of Cu(II) by APC16-g-SX can be attributed to the spatial network structure constructed by the self-association of hydrophobic groups that enhances the utilization of chelation sites.
