Preparation of a Hydrogel-Based Adsorbent for Metal Ions through High Internal Phase Emulsion Polymerization.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a porous hydrogel-based adsorbent for metal ions was prepared through the copolymerization of acrylic acid and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) method. Stretched molecular chains in the hydrogel ensure the excellent accessibility of functional sites by the metal ions. A highly open cellular structure endows the P(AANa-co-HEMA) gel with high transport rates as a promising adsorbent. Adsorption properties were investigated by three isotherm models and two kinetic models. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis proved a chelating interaction between -COO- and metal ions. The adsorption capacity reached 630 mg·g-1 for Pb2+ under 303 K and a 400 ?g·mL-1 initial concentration. The results show that the as-prepared PolyHIPE-based P(AANa-co-HEMA) gel possesses an open cellular structure, high adsorption capacity, and high selectivity for Pb2+.

Preparation of Chitosan/Calcium Alginate/Bentonite Composite Hydrogel and Its Heavy Metal Ions Adsorption Properties.

Project description:In order to avoid the secondary pollution of the toxic residue of chemical crosslinking agent accompanied by chemical hydrogel adsorbent and enhance the adsorption performance of physical hydrogel, chitosan/calcium alginate/bentonite (CTS/CA/BT) composite physical hydrogel was constructed. The formation mechanism and structure of the composite hydrogel were determined by FTIR, XRD and SEM. Adsorption performances of the hydrogel toward Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ in water under different condition as well as multi-ion competitive sorption were investigated. The adsorption processes were described with the canonical adsorption kinetics and isotherms models. With the utilization of XPS analysis and adsorption thermodynamics analysis, it was found that the adsorptions were spontaneous physico-chemical adsorptions. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ reached up to 434.89, 115.30 and 102.38 mg·g-1, respectively, better than those of other physical hydrogels or chitosan/bentonite composite. Moreover, the composite hydrogel improved the collectability of bentonite and showed a good reusability. The modification of bentonite and the formation of hydrogel were completed simultaneously, which greatly simplifies the operation process compared with the prior similar works. These suggest that the CTS/CA/BT composite hydrogel has promising application prospects for removal of heavy metal ions from water.

Poly(methylvinylsiloxane)-Based High Internal Phase Emulsion-Templated Materials (polyHIPEs)-Preparation, Incorporation of Palladium, and Catalytic Properties.

Project description:Poly(methylvinylsiloxane) (V3 polymer) obtained by kinetically controlled anionic ring-opening polymerization of 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-trivinylcyclotrisiloxane was cross-linked with various amounts of 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4 H) in w/o high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). PolyHIPEs thus prepared differed in the polymer cross-linking degree, which affected their porous morphology and total porosity. The obtained V3 polymer-based polyHIPEs were applied as matrices for the incorporation of Pd from the Pd(OAc)2 solution in tetrahydrofuran. This process involved the conversion of Si-H groups remaining in the polymer networks and resulted in the formation of crystalline, metallic Pd in the systems. Mean sizes of the generated Pd crystallites were lower in polyHIPEs of higher than in those of lower polymer cross-linking degrees and porosities (∼5 nm vs ∼8 nm, respectively). The Pd-containing polyHIPEs showed activity in catalytic hydrogenation of the triple carbon-carbon bond in phenylacetylene giving the unsaturated product, styrene with a selectivity of ca. 80%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work devoted to polysiloxane-based polyHIPEs with dispersed metallic particles.

Chitosan Hydrogel Structure Modulated by Metal Ions.

Project description:As one of the most important polysaccharide, chitosan (CS) has generated a great deal of interest for its desirable properties and wide applications. In the utilization of CS materials, hydrogel is a major and vital branch. CS has the ability to coordinate with many metal ions by a chelation mechanism. While most researchers focused on the applications of complexes between CS and metal ions, the complexes can also influence gelation process and structure of CS hydrogel. In the present work, such influence was studied with different metal ions, revealing two different kinds of mechanisms. Strong affinity between CS and metal ions leads to structural transition from orientation to multi-layers, while weak affinity leads to composite gel with in-situ formed inorganic particles. The study gave a better understanding of the gelation mechanism and provided strategies for the modulation of hydrogel morphology, which benefited the design of new CS-based materials with hierarchical structure and facilitated the utilization of polysaccharide resources.

Preparation of modified pomelo peel's pulp adsorbent and its adsorption to uranyl ions.

Project description:Using pomelo peel's pulp (PPP) as raw material, a new chemically modified PPP was prepared by the process of fermentation, cooking, freeze-drying, and so on. The adsorbent has been characterized by EDS, IR, BET and SEM. The factors of different adsorption conditions such as pH value, adsorption temperature, mass of adsorbent, adsorption time and initial concentration of UO2 2+ were investigated. The adsorption mechanism was explored by adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics experiments. The results indicate that the pH value is 6.0, the dosage of adsorbent is 500 mg l-1, the temperature is 50°C and the adsorption time is 90 min, which is the best adsorption condition. When the initial concentration of UO2 2+ is 35 mg l-1, the adsorbed amount of uranyl ions by the modified PPP adsorbent can reach 42.733 mg g-1, 26.8% higher than the adsorption amount of unmodified adsorbent (31.276 mg g-1), which is obviously enhanced. The kinetic and thermodynamic experiments show that the adsorption process is in good agreement with the pseudo second-order kinetics model, that it is an endothermic reaction, and the reaction is spontaneous. The adsorption process is entropy-dominated. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm can describe the adsorption process more accurately.

Protein Nanofibrils and Their Hydrogel Formation with Metal Ions.

Project description:Protein nanofibrils (PNFs) have been prepared by whey protein fibrillation at low pH and in the presence of different metal ions. The effect of the metal ions was systematically studied both in terms of PNF suspension gelation behavior and fibrillation kinetics. A high valence state and a small ionic radius (e.g., Sn4+) of the metal ion resulted in the formation of hydrogels already at a metal ion concentration of 30 mM, whereas an intermediate valence state and larger ionic radius (Co2+, Ni2+, Al3+) resulted in the hydrogel formation occurring at 60 mM. A concentration of 120 mM of Na+ was needed to form a PNF hydrogel, while lower concentrations showed liquid behaviors similar to the reference PNF solution where no metal ions had been introduced. The hydrogel mechanics were investigated at steady-state conditions after 24 h of incubation/gelation, revealing that more acidic (smaller and more charged) metal ions induced ca. 2 orders of magnitude higher storage modulus as compared to the less acidic metal ions (with smaller charge and larger radius) for the same concentration of metal ions. The viscoelastic nature of the hydrogels was attributed to the ability of the metal ions to coordinate water molecules in the vicinity of the PNFs. The presence of metal ions in the solutions during the growth of the PNFs typically resulted in curved fibrils, whereas an upper limit of the concentration existed when oxides/hydroxides were formed, and the hydrogels lost their gel properties due to phase separation. Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence was used to determine the rate of the fibrillation to form 50% of the total PNFs (t1/2), which decreased from 2.3 to ca. 0.5 h depending on the specific metal ions added.

Activated boron nitride as an effective adsorbent for metal ions and organic pollutants.

Project description:Novel activated boron nitride (BN) as an effective adsorbent for pollutants in water and air has been reported in the present work. The activated BN was synthesized by a simple structure-directed method that enabled us to control the surface area, pore volume, crystal defects and surface groups. The obtained BN exhibits an super high surface area of 2078 m(2)/g, a large pore volume of 1.66 cm(3)/g and a special multimodal microporous/mesoporous structure located at ~ 1.3, ~ 2.7, and ~ 3.9 nm, respectively. More importantly, the novel activated BN exhibits an excellent adsorption performance for various metal ions (Cr(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Ce(3+), Pb(2+)) and organic pollutants (tetracycline, methyl orange and congo red) in water, as well as volatile organic compounds (benzene) in air. The excellent reusability of the activated BN has also been confirmed. All the features render the activated BN a promising material suitable for environmental remediation.

Preparation of diglycolamide polymer modified silica and its application as adsorbent for rare earth ions.

Project description:Three novel diglycolamide monomers were synthesized and polymerized on silica. The diglycolamide polymer grafted silica were used as adsorbents for rare earth ions. The effects of acid concentration, structure of monomer, initial solution concentration, contact time and coexisting ions on adsorption of rare earth ions were investigated in detail. It was shown that the adsorption capacity increased with increasing acid concentration. Three adsorbents exhibited selectivity for middle and heavy rare earth over light rare earth in different extent. The adsorbent prepared from the monomer having the largest alkyl substituent showed the lowest adsorption capacity but the highest selectivity for different rare earth elements (REEs). Adsorption data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order models. The presence of high concentrations (100 fold) of coexisting metal ions, K(I), Cr(II), Cu(II) or Fe(III), does not decrease the adsorption for rare earth ions seriously.

Fluorescent hydrogel waveguide for on-site detection of heavy metal ions.

Project description:Hydrogels have great applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Recently, there have been intense interests in developments and applications of nanocomposite hydrogels by incorporating nanomaterials into polymer matrix, which endows the hydrogels with new functionalities. Here, we report on the first carbon dots (CDs) doped hydrogel waveguide for selective, on-site detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions. The CDs-doped hydrogel waveguide exhibits efficient light confinement in water due to the refractive index contrast. The smooth waveguide surfaces lead to low light scattering loss. Real-time spectra measurement of the CDs-doped hydrogel waveguide with a compact interrogation setup demonstrates that the novel design can be used as a portable, robust sensing platform for on-site analysis and assessment of heavy metal ions.

Thermal Stability Improvement of Core Material via High Internal Phase Emulsion Gels.

Project description:Biocompatible particle-stabilized emulsions have gained significant attention in the biomedical industry. In this study, we employed dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (HPM) to prepare a biocompatible particle emulsion, which effectively enhances the thermal stability of core materials without the addition of any chemical additives. The results demonstrate that the HPM-treated particle-stabilized emulsion forms an interface membrane with high expansion and viscoelastic properties, thus preventing core material agglomeration at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the particle concentration used for constructing the emulsion gel network significantly impacts the overall strength and stability of the material while possessing the ability to inhibit oxidation of the thermosensitive core material. This investigation explores the influence of particle concentration on the stability of particle-stabilized emulsion gels, thereby providing valuable insights for the design, improvement, and practical applications of innovative clean label emulsions, particularly in the embedding and delivery of thermosensitive core materials.

Hydrogel Patches on Live Cells through Surface-Mediated Polymerization.

Project description:Many naturally occurring cells possess an intrinsic ability to cross biological barriers that block conventional drug delivery, and these cells offer a possible mode of active transport across the blood-brain barrier or into the core of tumor masses. While many technologies for the formation of complete, nanoparticle-loaded coatings on cells exist, a complete coating on the cell surface would disrupt the interaction of cells with their environments. To address this issue, cell surface patches that partially cover cell surfaces might provide a superior approach for cell-mediated therapeutic delivery. The goal of this study is to establish a simplified approach to producing polymeric patches of arbitrary shapes on a live cell via surface-mediated photopolymerization. Cell surfaces were nonspecifically labeled with eosin, and polyethylene (glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) coatings were directed to specific sites using 530 nm irradiation through a chrome-coated photomask. These coatings may entrap drug-loaded or imaging particles. The extent of nonspecific formation of PEGDA hydrogel coatings increased with irradiation time, light intensity, and initiating species; 40 mW/cm2 irradiation for 5 min delivered high-resolution patterns on the surface of A549 cells, and these cells remained viable for 48 h postpatterning with fluorescent nanoparticle-loaded coatings. This work first demonstrated the feasibility of photopatterning polymer patches directly on the surface of cells.
