Industrial wastewater has brought great disaster to water bodies and soils and seriously affected the growth of crops. It is necessary to prepare a stable, effective, and sustainable treatment agent to control water pollution to obtain clean water. The adsorption effect of a lignosulfonate-lysine hydrogel (CLS-Lys adsorbent) on heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Co2+) in water is studied. In the synthesis experiment, a response surface method is used to optimize the content of sodium lignosulfonate, lysine, initiator, and cross-linker. The CLS-Lys adsorbent is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, and zeta potential analysis. The performance of the CLS-Lys adsorbent under different influencing factors is studied. The kinetic and isothermal models of the CLS-Lys adsorbent are established. The results show that the main adsorption model of the CLS-Lys adsorbent is chemical adsorption, accompanied by electrostatic adsorption. These two ions have a competitive adsorption relationship, and when the two ions are present at the same time, they inhibit each other. In addition, the CLS-Lys adsorbent has good adsorption and analytical regeneration performance. It is an economic and effective adsorbent and has a broad application prospect.
