The traditional adsorbent particles always suffer from the disadvantage that they are difficult to be recovered by using in environmental water because they would sink to the water bottom, subsequently causing second contamination. To overcome the issue, a hydrophobic magnetic adsorbent based on polypyrrole coating on acid-dissolved fly ash (MSFA/PPy) was fabricated in this paper, which can float on the waterbody surface and easily collected by a magnetic field after adsorption. The prepared composite was well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. A significant increase on water contact angle after the preparation confirmed that the hydrophobic surface had been successfully obtained. The adsorption experiments for removal of Cr(VI) by MSFA/PPy shown that maximum adsorption occurred at pH 2.0–4.0. Cr(VI) adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm model. Theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of MSFA/PPy for Cr(VI) was 66.93–119.33 mg/g at experimental conditions. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that Cr(VI) adsorption onto MSFA/PPy was a spontaneous process. In regeneration experiment, there was an acceptable level of decrease in the adsorption data for three consecutive cycles. The study suggests that the hydrophobic MSFA/PPy has a great potential application in Cr(VI) removal under open water environment.
