The composite PAA/PVP/PGS(PAPP) was prepared by free radical polymerization using N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the cross-linking agent, potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiator, acrylic acid (AA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and palygorskite (PGS) as the raw material. Orthogonal experiments were designed to optimize the proportion of each raw material. The morphology and structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer (FT-IR). The results showed that the graft copolymerization reaction was taken placed between acrylic acid and palygorskite micropowder, the clay in composite material dispersed well. The adsorption study showed that the composite have a good adsorption capacity for methyl blue solution, and it’s adsorption capacity could reached 968.69 mg/g. Therefore, It can be used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of anionic dyes from wastewater .
