Removal of Aromatic Chlorinated Pesticides from Aqueous Solution Using ?-Cyclodextrin Polymers Decorated with Fe?O? Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the sorption properties of cyclodextrin polymers (nanosponges; NS) with the pesticides 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TCF), including an evaluation of its efficiency and a comparison with other materials, such as granulated activated carbon (GAC). NS-pesticide complexes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), UV?VIS, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). This confirms the interactions of the guests with nanosponges and shows that the polymers have favorable sorption capacities for chlorinated aromatic guests. Our studies also show that the inclusion complex is predominantly favored for NS/CPA rather than those formed between TCF and NS due to the size of the adsorbate and steric effects. Sorption studies carried with repeated cycles demonstrate that NS polymers could be an improved technology for pollutant removal from aquatic environments, as they are very efficient and reusable materials. Our experiments and characterization by SEM, EDS, UV?VIS, and magnetization saturation (VSM) also show that NS is an optimal substrate for the deposition of magnetite nanoparticles, thus improving the usefulness and properties of the polymer, as the nanosponges could be retrieved from aqueous solution with a neodymium magnet without losing its efficiency as a pesticide sorbent.

Topochemical control of the photodimerization of aromatic compounds by ?-cyclodextrin thioethers in aqueous solution.

Project description:The formation of soluble 1:2 complexes within hydrophilic ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) thioethers allows to perform photodimerizations of aromatic guests under controlled, homogenous reaction conditions. The quantum yields for unsubstituted anthracene, acenaphthylene, and coumarin complexed in these ?-CD thioethers were found to be up to 10 times higher than in the non-complexed state. The configuration of the photoproduct reflected the configuration of the dimeric inclusion complex of the guest. Anti-parallel orientation of acenaphthylene within the CD cavity led to the exclusive formation of the anti photo-dimer in quantitative yield. Parallel orientation of coumarin within the complex of a CD thioether led to the formation of the syn head-to-head dimer. The degree of complexation of coumarin could be increased by employing the salting out effect.

Interactions of Mycotoxin Alternariol with Cyclodextrins and its Removal from Aqueous Solution by Beta-Cyclodextrin Bead Polymer.

Project description:Alternariol is an Alternaria mycotoxin that appears in fruits, tomatoes, oilseeds, and corresponding products. Chronic exposure to it can induce carcinogenic and xenoestrogenic effects. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are ring-shaped molecules built up by glucose units, which form host-guest type complexes with some mycotoxins. Furthermore, insoluble CD polymers seem suitable for the extraction/removal of mycotoxins from aqueous solutions. In this study, the interactions of alternariol with β- and γ-CDs were tested by employing fluorescence spectroscopic and modeling studies. Moreover, the removal of alternariol from aqueous solutions by insoluble β-CD bead polymer (BBP) was examined. Our major observations/conclusions are the following: (1) CDs strongly increased the fluorescence of alternariol, the strongest enhancement was induced by the native γ-CD at pH 7.4. (2) Alternariol formed the most stable complexes with the native γ-CD (logK = 3.2) and the quaternary ammonium derivatives (logK = 3.4-3.6) at acidic/physiological pH and at pH 10.0, respectively. (3) BBP effectively removed alternariol from aqueous solution. (4) The alternariol-binding ability of β-CD polymers was significantly higher than was expected based on their β-CD content. (5) CD technology seems a promising tool to improve the fluorescence detection of alternariol and/or to develop new mycotoxin binders to decrease alternariol exposure.

Removal of Volatile Phenols From Wine Using Crosslinked Cyclodextrin Polymers.

Project description:Volatile phenols have been implicated as contributors to off-odors associated with taints from bushfire smoke and microbial spoilage. Various methods for the amelioration of off-odors have been evaluated, but to date, they have not included cyclodextrin (CD) polymers. In the current study, two CD polymers were prepared from ?- and ?-CD, using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as a crosslinking agent. Adsorption tests were performed with four volatile phenols (guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, 4-ethylguaiacol and 4-ethylphenol) at concentrations up to 1 mg/L. The removal of volatile phenols by CD polymers achieved equilibrium almost instantly, with isotherm tests suggesting an adsorption capacity of 20.7 µg of volatile phenol per gram of polymer. Langmuir and Freundlich models were subsequently used to fit the data. In batch adsorption tests, the CD polymers achieved 45 to 77% removal of volatile phenols. Polymer reusability was also evaluated and was found to be excellent. A comparison between volatile phenol adsorption by CDs vs. CD polymers, determined using a novel four-phase headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), suggests CD polymers offer several advantages for use by the wine industry.

Removal of Carbamazepine in Aqueous Solution by CoS2/Fe2+/PMS Process.

Project description:Carbamazepine (CBZ), as a typical pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP), cannot be efficiently removed by the conventional drinking water and wastewater treatment process. In this work, the CoS2/Fe2+/PMS process was applied for efficient elimination of CBZ. The CBZ removal efficiency of CoS2/Fe2+/PMS was 2.5 times and 23 times higher than that of CoS2/PMS and Fe2+/PMS, respectively. The intensity of DMPO-HO• and DMPO-SO4•- followed the order of Fe2+/PMS < CoS2/PMS < CoS2/Fe2+/PMS, also suggesting the CoS2/Fe2+/PMS process has the highest oxidation activity. The effects of reaction conditions (e.g., CoS2 dosage, Fe2+ concentration, PMS concentration, initial CBZ concentration, pH, temperature) and water quality parameters (e.g., SO42-, NO3-, H2PO4-, Cl-, NH4+, humic acid) on the degradation of CBZ were also studied. Response surface methodology analysis was carried out to obtain the best conditions for the removal of CBZ, which are: Fe2+ = 70 µmol/L, PMS = 240 µmol/L, CoS2 = 0.59 g/L. The sustainability test demonstrated that the repeated use of CoS2 for 8 successive cycles resulted in little function decrease (<10%). These findings suggest that CoS2/Fe2+/PMS may be a promising method for advanced treatment of tailwater from sewage treatment plant.

Fabrication of a GNP/Fe-Mg Binary Oxide Composite for Effective Removal of Arsenic from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Graphene nanoplates (GNPs) can be used as a platform for homogeneous distribution of adsorbent nanoparticles to improve electron exchange and ion transport for heavy-metal adsorption. In this study, we report a facile thermal decomposition route to fabricate a graphene-supported Fe-Mg oxide composite. The prepared composite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the arsenic adsorption behavior of the GNP/Fe-Mg oxide composite. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich models were employed to describe the adsorption isotherm, in which the sorption kinetics of the arsenic adsorption process by the composite was found to be pseudo-second-order. Furthermore, the reusability and regeneration of the adsorbent were investigated by an assembled-column filter test. The GNP/Fe-Mg oxide composite exhibited significant fast adsorption of arsenic over a wide range of solution pHs, with exceptional durability and recyclability, which could make this composite a very promising candidate for effective removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions.

Flow-induced crystallisation of polymers from aqueous solution.

Project description:Synthetic polymers are thoroughly embedded in the modern society and their consumption grows annually. Efficient routes to their production and processing have never been more important. In this respect, silk protein fibrillation is superior to conventional polymer processing, not only by achieving outstanding physical properties of materials, such as high tensile strength and toughness, but also improved process energy efficiency. Natural silk solidifies in response to flow of the liquid using conformation-dependent intermolecular interactions to desolvate (denature) protein chains. This mechanism is reproduced here by an aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solution, which solidifies at ambient conditions when subjected to flow. The transition requires that an energy threshold is exceeded by the flow conditions, which disrupts a protective hydration shell around polymer molecules, releasing them from a metastable state into the thermodynamically favoured crystalline state. This mechanism requires vastly lower energy inputs and demonstrates an alternative route for polymer processing.

Acid Red 66 Dye Removal from Aqueous Solution by Fe/C-based Composites: Adsorption, Kinetics and Thermodynamic Studies.

Project description:The presence of synthetic dyes in water causes serious environmental issues owing to the low water quality, toxicity to environment and human carcinogenic effects. Adsorption has emerged as simple and environmental benign processes for wastewater treatment. This work reports the use of porous Fe-based composites as adsorbents for Acid Red 66 dye removal in an aqueous solution. The porous FeC and Fe/FeC solids were prepared by hydrothermal methods using iron sulfates and sucrose as precursors. The physicochemical properties of the solids were evaluated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy coupled with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared s (FTIR), Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopies, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and magnetic saturation techniques. Results indicated that the Fe species holds magnetic properties and formed well dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles on a carbon layer in FeC nanocomposite. Adding iron to the previous solid resulted in the formation of ?-Fe2O3 coating on the FeC type structure as in Fe/FeC composite. The highest dye adsorption capacity was 15.5 mg·g-1 for FeC nanocomposite at 25 °C with the isotherms fitting well with the Langmuir model. The removal efficiency of 98.4% was obtained with a pristine Fe sample under similar experimental conditions.

Removal of As(V) from aqueous solution using modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

Project description:The removal of arsenic contamination from the aqueous environment is of great importance in the conservation of the Earth's water resources, and surfactants are a promising material used to modify magnetic nanoparticles to improve adsorption properties. Therefore, it is important to develop efficient and selective adsorbents for arsenic. Surface modification of Fe3O4 was carried out using anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surfactants to obtain composite Fe3O4@SDS, Fe3O4@CTAB, Fe3O4@SNC 16 and Fe3O4@NPC 16 (collectively referred to as Fe3O4@surfactants). The synthesized composite Fe3O4@surfactants magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, TEM and FTIR. The As(V) removal characteristics of the composite magnetic nanoparticles from the aqueous solution were evaluated by adsorption batch experiments which indicated the possibility of effective application of the surfactant-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles for the removal of As(V) from aqueous solution. The adsorption equilibrium of the composites was reached in 30 min and the kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir equation could represent the adsorption isotherm data very well. Moreover, under the identical conditions, Fe3O4@CTAB showed maximum capacity of adsorption for As(V) (55.671 mg g-1), with its removal efficiency being much higher than that of the other composites. In addition, the Fe3O4@surfactants composite magnetic nanoparticles retained 93.5% of its initial arsenic removal efficiency even after re-using it five times. The mechanism of arsenic adsorption by Fe3O4@surfactants composite magnetic nanoparticles was proved to be complexation via electrostatic attraction, which was mainly innersphere in nature.

Poly(β-cyclodextrin)-Activated Carbon Gel Composites for Removal of Pesticides from Water.

Project description:Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to increase and protect crop production. A substantial percentage of the active substances applied is retained in the soil or flows into water courses, constituting a very relevant environmental problem. There are several methods for the removal of pesticides from soils and water; however, their efficiency is still a challenge. An alternative to current methods relies on the use of effective adsorbents in removing pesticides which are, simultaneously, capable of releasing pesticides into the soil when needed. This reduces costs related to their application and waste treatments and, thus, overall environmental costs. In this paper, we describe the synthesis and preparation of activated carbon-containing poly(β-cyclodextrin) composites. The composites were characterized by different techniques and their ability to absorb pesticides was assessed by using two active substances: cymoxanil and imidacloprid. Composites with 5 and 10 wt% of activated carbon showed very good stability, high removal efficiencies (>75%) and pesticide sorption capacity up to ca. 50 mg g-1. The effect of additives (NaCl and urea) was also evaluated. The composites were able to release around 30% of the initial sorbed amount of pesticide without losing the capacity to keep the maximum removal efficiency in sorption/desorption cycles.

A functionalized metal-organic framework decorated with O- groups showing excellent performance for lead(ii) removal from aqueous solution.

Project description:Heavy metal ions are highly toxic and widely spread as environmental pollutants. New strategies are being developed to efficiently remove these toxic ions. Herein, we use the intrinsic advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and develop a porous Zn(ii)-based MOF decorated with O- groups for the removal of Pb2+. Benefiting from its multiple porosity, sufficient adsorption sites and strong affinity, the activated MOF material exhibits an ultrahigh Pb2+ uptake capacity (616.64 mg g-1), surpassing all those of reported MOF adsorbents. Moreover, it can selectively capture Pb2+ with high efficiency (>99.27%) against background ions. Even in the presence of a high concentration of competitive ions, such as Ca2+ or Mg2+, effective removal (>99.21%) can also be achieved in a short time. The excellent removal performance demonstrates the strong electrostatic attraction and coordination interaction between the highly accessible O- groups and Pb2+. The possible adsorption mechanism was systematically verified by zeta potential, FT-IR and XPS studies. Our work reveals the enormous potential of functionalized MOFs as an appealing platform to construct sorbent materials.
