Arsenic(III) Removal by Nanostructured Dialdehyde Cellulose-Cysteine Microscale and Nanoscale Fibers.

ABSTRACT: Arsenite (As(III)) contamination in drinking water has become a worldwide problem in recent years, which leads to development of various As(III) remediation approaches. In this study, two biomass-based nanostructured materials, microscale dialdehyde cellulose-cysteine (MDAC-cys) and nanoscale dialdehyde cellulose-cysteine (NDAC-cys) fibers, have been prepared from wood pulp. Their As(III) removal efficiencies and mechanism were determined by combined adsorption, atomic fluorescence spectrometry, microscopy (scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy), and spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared, 13C CPMAS NMR) methods. The adsorption results of these materials could be well described by the Freundlich isotherm model, where the maximum adsorption capacities estimated by the Langmuir isotherm model were 344.82 mg/g for MDAC-cys and 357.14 mg/g for NDAC-cys, respectively. Both MDAC-cys and NDAC-cys materials were further characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis, where the results indicated that the thiol groups (the S content in MDAC-cys was 12.70 and NDAC-cys was 17.15%) on cysteine were primarily responsible for the adsorption process. The nanostructured MDAC-cys system appeared to be more suitable for practical applications because of its high cost-effectiveness.

A Direct Silanization Protocol for Dialdehyde Cellulose.

Project description:Cellulose derivatives have many potential applications in the field of biomaterials and composites, in addition to several ways of modification leading to them. Silanization in aqueous media is one of the most promising routes to create multipurpose and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Silanization has been widely used for cellulosic and nano-structured celluloses, but was a problem so far if to be applied to the common cellulose derivative "dialdehyde cellulose" (DAC), i.e., highly periodate-oxidized celluloses. In this work, a straightforward silanization protocol for dialdehyde cellulose is proposed, which can be readily modified with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane. After thermal treatment and freeze-drying, the resulting product showed condensation and cross-linking, which was studied with infrared spectroscopy and 13C and 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The cross-linking involves both links of the hydroxyl group of the oxidized cellulose with the silanol groups (Si-O-C) and imine-type bonds between the amino group and keto functions of the DAC (-HC=N-). The modification was achieved in aqueous medium under mild reaction conditions. Different treatments cause different levels of hydrolysis of the organosilane compound, which resulted in diverse condensed silica networks in the modified dialdehyde cellulose structure.

Self-Assembled Chitosan/Dialdehyde Carboxymethyl Cellulose Hydrogels: Preparation and Application in the Removal of Complex Fungicide Formulations from Aqueous Media.

Project description:Environmental contamination with pesticides occurs at a global scale as a result of prolonged usage and, therefore, their removal by low-cost and environmentally friendly systems is actively demanded. In this context, our study was directed to investigate the feasibility of using some self-assembled hydrogels, comprising chitosan (CS) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or dialdehyde (DA)-CMC, for the removal of four complex fungicide formulations, namely Melody Compact (MC), Dithane (Dt), Curzate Manox (CM), and Cabrio®Top (CT). Porous CS/CMC and CS/DA-CMC hydrogels were prepared as discs by combining the semi-dissolution acidification sol-gel transition method with a freeze-drying approach. The obtained CS/CMC and CS/DA-CMC hydrogels were characterized by gel fraction yield, FTIR, SEM, swelling kinetics, and uniaxial compression tests. The batch-sorption studies indicated that the fungicides' removal efficiency (RE%) by the CS/CMC hydrogels was increased significantly with increasing sorbent doses reaching 94%, 93%, 66% and 48% for MC, Dt, CM and CT, respectively, at 0.2 g sorbent dose. The RE values were higher for the hydrogels prepared using DA-CMC than for those prepared using non-oxidized CMC when initial fungicide concentrations of 300 mg/L or 400 mg/L were used. Our results indicated that CS/DA-CMC hydrogels could be promising biosorbents for mitigating pesticide contamination of aqueous environments.

Data on Arsenic(III) removal using zeolite-reduced graphene oxide composite.

Project description:This data article proposes a mechanisms of Arsenic(III) removal from water using zeolite-reduced graphene oxide (ZrGO) composite. Here, the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm analysis for the data obtained by removal of Arsenic(III) using ZrGO is presented. The kinetic model fits the pseudo second order kinetics and indicates the adsorption mechanism to be chemisorption. Redlich Peterson isotherm model best describes the adsorption isotherm. The data are related to the research article "Synthesis of Fly ash based zeolite-reduced graphene oxide composite and its evaluation as an adsorbent for arsenic removal" (Soni and Shukla, 2019).

Highly Efficient Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Immobilized on Cellulose Nanofibril Aerogels for Arsenic Removal from Water.

Project description:The application and optimal operation of nanoparticle adsorbents in fixed-bed columns or industrial-scale water treatment applications are limited. This limitation is generally due to the tendency of nanoparticles to aggregate, the use of non-sustainable and inefficient polymeric resins as supporting materials in fixed-bed columns, or low adsorption capacity. In this study, magnesium-doped amorphous iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized and immobilized on the surface of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) within a lightweight porous aerogel for arsenic removal from water. The IONPs had a specific surface area of 165 m2 g-1. The IONP-containing CNF aerogels were stable in water and under constant agitation due to the induced crosslinking using an epichlorohydrin crosslinker. The adsorption kinetics showed that both As(III) and As(V) adsorption followed a pseudo second-order kinetic model, and the equilibrium adsorption isotherm was best fitted using the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of CNF-IONP aerogel for As(III) and As(V) were 48 and 91 mg As g-IONP-1, respectively. The optimum IONP concentration in the aerogel was 12.5 wt.%, which resulted in a maximum arsenic removal, minimal mass loss, and negligible leaching of iron into water.

Removal of Arsenic(III) from Aqueous Solution Using Metal Organic Framework-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite.

Project description:MIL-53(Al)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites of different GO to MIL-53(Al) mass ratios (1% to 25% GO) were synthesized and tested for removal of arsenite (As(III)), which is a well-known groundwater contaminant. The properties of MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments were performed on MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites for As(III) adsorption in aqueous solutions to investigate adsorption kinetics and isotherm behavior under varying environmental conditions. The effects of solution pH (2 to 11), initial As(III) concentrations (10?110 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.2?3.0 g/L), and temperature (298?318 K) on As(III) adsorption were investigated. MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites showed higher adsorption of As(III) than pristine MIL-53(Al) and GO individually. As (III) removal was optimized at a ratio of 3% GO in the MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite, with an adsorption capacity of 65 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Overall, these results suggest that MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite holds a significant promise for use in the remediation of As (III) from groundwater and other aqueous solutions.

Effect-Based Approach to Assess Nanostructured Cellulose Sponge Removal Efficacy of Zinc Ions from Seawater to Prevent Ecological Risks.

Project description:To encourage the applicability of nano-adsorbent materials for heavy metal ion removal from seawater and limit any potential side effects for marine organisms, an ecotoxicological evaluation based on a biological effect-based approach is presented. ZnCl2 (10 mg L-1) contaminated artificial seawater (ASW) was treated with newly developed eco-friendly cellulose-based nanosponges (CNS) (1.25 g L-1 for 2 h), and the cellular and tissue responses of marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were measured before and after CNS treatment. A control group (ASW only) and a negative control group (CNS in ASW) were also tested. Methods: A significant recovery of Zn-induced damages in circulating immune and gill cells and mantle edges was observed in mussels exposed after CNS treatment. Genetic and chromosomal damages reversed to control levels in mussels' gill cells (DNA integrity level, nuclear abnormalities and apoptotic cells) and hemocytes (micronuclei), in which a recovery of lysosomal membrane stability (LMS) was also observed. Damage to syphons, loss of cilia by mantle edge epithelial cells and an increase in mucous cells in ZnCl2-exposed mussels were absent in specimens after CNS treatment, in which the mantle histology resembled that of the controls. No effects were observed in mussels exposed to CNS alone. As further proof of CNS' ability to remove Zn(II) from ASW, a significant reduction of >90% of Zn levels in ASW after CNS treatment was observed (from 6.006 to 0.510 mg L-1). Ecotoxicological evaluation confirmed the ability of CNS to remove Zn from ASW by showing a full recovery of Zn-induced toxicological responses to the levels of mussels exposed to ASW only (controls). An effect-based approach was thus proven to be useful in order to further support the environmentally safe (ecosafety) application of CNS for heavy metal removal from seawater.

Superhydrophobic Paper from Nanostructured Fluorinated Cellulose Esters.

Project description:The development of economically and ecologically viable strategies for superhydrophobization offers a vast variety of interesting applications in self-cleaning surfaces. Examples include packaging materials, textiles, outdoor clothing, and microfluidic devices. In this work, we produced superhydrophobic paper by spin-coating a dispersion of nanostructured fluorinated cellulose esters. Modification of cellulose nanocrystals was accomplished using 2 H,2 H,3 H,3 H-perfluorononanoyl chloride and 2 H,2 H,3 H,3 H-perfluoroundecanoyl chloride, which are well-known for their ability to reduce surface energy. A stable dispersion of nanospherical fluorinated cellulose ester was obtained by using the nanoprecipitation technique. The hydrophobized fluorinated cellulose esters were characterized by both solid- and liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. Further, we investigated the size, shape, and structure morphology of nanostructured fluorinated cellulose esters by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements.

Enhanced Arsenic (III and V) Removal in Anoxic Environments by Hierarchically Structured Citrate/FeCO3 Nanocomposites.

Project description:Novel citrate/FeCO3 nanocomposites (CF-NCs) were synthesized for effective arsenic (III and V) sorption with constant addition of Fe2+ into HCO3- solution in the presence of citrate. This paper is the first report on the formation of CF-NCs, and in this study we investigate the mechanisms of arsenic uptake by the sorbent under anoxic conditions through various solid- and liquid-phase spectroscopic methods, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In CF-NCs, citrate was found to be incorporated into the structure of siderite (up to 17.94%) through (Fe2+citrate)- complexes. The crystal morphology of rhombohedral siderite was changed into hierarchically nanostructured spherical aggregates composed of several sheet-like crystals, which improved the surface reactivity in the presence of sufficient citrate. Compared to pure siderite (15.2%), enhanced removal of As(III) in the range of 19.3% to 88.2% was observed, depending on the amount of incorporated citrate. The maximum sorption capacities of CF-NCs for As(III) and As(V) were 188.97 and 290.22 mg/g, respectively, which are much higher than those of previously reported siderite-based adsorbents. It was found that arsenic (III and V) sorption on CF-NCs occurred via bidentate corner-sharing surface complexation, predominantly without changes in the arsenic oxidation states. These results suggest that arsenic (III and V) can be attenuated by siderite in anoxic environments, and this attenuation can be even more effective when siderite is modified by incorporation of organic compounds such as citrate.

Effective removal of tetracycline antibiotics from wastewater using practically applicable iron(III)-loaded cellulose nanofibres.

Project description:The non-toxic and completely biodegradable cellulose within bamboo is one of the most abundant agricultural polysaccharide wastes worldwide, and can be processed into cellulose nanofibres (CNFs). Iron(III)-loaded CNFs (Fe(III)@CNFs) derived from bamboo were prepared to improve the adsorption of tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) from an aqueous solution. The preparation conditions of Fe(III)@CNFs suitable for the simultaneous adsorption of three tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) were investigated. Various analyses proved the abundance of oxygen-containing functional groups and the existence of Fe(III) active metal sites in Fe(III)@CNFs. In batch experiments, Fe(III)@CNFs were applied under a wide pH range and the maximum adsorption capacities were 294.12, 232.56 and 500.00 mg g-1 (for TC, CTC and OTC, respectively). In addition, different concentrations and types of coexisting anions have a weak effect on TCs adsorption. The original TCs adsorption capacities of Fe(III)@CNFs remained stable (greater than 92%) after five cycles when UV + H2O2 was used as the regeneration method. Four adsorption mechanisms (surface complexation, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction and van der Waals force) were obtained for the endothermic adsorption of TCs, among which surface complexation between Fe(III) and TCs always dominates. The practically applicable Fe(III)@CNFs adsorbents are promising for TCs enrichment and remediation in engineering applications.

Resource-Saving Production of Dialdehyde Cellulose: Optimization of the Process at High Pulp Consistency.

Project description:Oxidation of cellulose with periodate under aqueous conditions yields dialdehyde cellulose, a promising functional cellulose derivative. The main obstacles for this oxidation have been its slow kinetics and the dilute reaction conditions, requiring considerable amounts of water and energy. In this study, these drawbacks are overcome by conducting the oxidation at high cellulosic pulp consistency with a cellulose/water weight ratio of 1:4. The oxidizer, cellulose, and water are efficiently mixed in a ball mill. Oxidation occurs mostly in the subsequent step, during the resting time (no further milling/mixing is required). The reaction and resource efficiency of the process are optimized by experimental design and a maximum aldehyde content of 8?mmol?g-1 is obtained with a periodate/cellulose molar ratio of 1.25, a milling time of 2?min, and a resting time of 8?h. The developed method allows fine tuning of the oxidation level and is a key step towards the sustainable periodate oxidation of cellulose also on larger scale.
