Abstract:
A composite starch-acrylamide polymer(St-PAM) was prepared and characterized by infrared spectroscopy(IR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results indicated that starch grafted acrylamide copolymer has multilayer flack, shape cross section and multi tunnels structures, and high surface area and effective water and salt absorption performance. When it was used to remove the salt ions in earthen sites at Emperor Qin Shihuang Mausoleum and Yang Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, satisfied desalting results were obtained that 70% Ca
2+ ion and 90% SO
42- ion were removed from sites surface, respectively obvious effect also achieved for the other ions in earthen sites, such as Na
+ and NO
3- etc.
