Immobilization of Hydroxyapatite Particles onto PET Filter Fabric via Heat Treatment

Abstract
Heat fusion method and hot-press method were applied to immobilize hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles onto the surface of PET filter fabric separately. The effects of treating temperature, treating time and HAp amount on immobilization rate of HAp and pore size of filter fabric were discussed. The high immobilization rate of HAp could be obtained and pore size could be maintained. FTIR, SEM and XRD were used to characterize the structure of filter fabric embedded with HAp particles. Good adsorption property of Cd2+ onto HAp immobilized filter fabric was achieved.
