Sorption Study of Water Vapor and a Dye on Chitosan-Based Framework Materials.

ABSTRACT: Two types of chitosan framework materials were functionalized with carboxyl groups via a supramolecular cross-linking process by citric acid (CA) and trimesic acid (TMA). The role of surface chemistry (i.e., functional groups) and textural properties (i.e., pore size and surface area) in adsorption properties of these chitosan frameworks toward water vapor and dye was investigated. Extensive characterizations using N2 adsorption-desorption, contact angle measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, and confocal microscopy were carried out to understand structure-property relationships of these framework materials. The dynamic vapor sorption analyzer measured water vapor sorption percentage (R %) values of 46.7, 43.9, and 41.5 for TMA1, CA1 framework materials, and chitosan, respectively. The calculated adsorption percentage values of dyes in aqueous solution were 69.7, 39.2, and 18.8 (R %) for TMA1, CA1, and chitosan, respectively.

Water Vapor Sorption and Diffusivity in Bio-Based Poly(Ethylene Vanillate)-PEV.

Project description:The dynamic and equilibrium water vapor sorption properties of amorphous and highly crystalline poly(ethylene vanillate) (PEV) films were determined via gravimetric analysis, at 20 °C, over a wide range of relative humidity (0-95% RH). At low RH%, the dynamic of the sorption process obeys Fick's law while at higher relative humidity it is characterized by a drift ascribable to non-Fickian relaxations. The non-Fickian relaxations, which are responsible for the incorporation of additional water, are correlated with the upturn of the sorption isotherms and simultaneously the hysteresis recorded between sorption and desorption cycles. The sorption isotherms of amorphous and highly crystalline PEV are arranged in the same concentration range of that of PET proving the similarity of the two polyesters. Water diffusion coefficients, whose determination from individual kinetic sorption/desorption curves required treatment with the Barens-Hopfenberg model, were demonstrated to be ≈ 10× higher for amorphous PEV compared to amorphous PET. Such a difference originates from the enhanced segmental flexibility of PEV chains.

Mesoporosity of Delignified Wood Investigated by Water Vapor Sorption.

Project description:Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of delignification, resulting in an increase in porosity due to partial or complete removal of lignin and hemicellulose constituents. In this work, the impact of partial and complete delignification on the mesoporous structure is investigated via water vapor sorption isotherms and deuterium exchange. Pore size distributions of wood samples with five different delignification levels were compared to native wood. The derived pore size distributions at the water swollen state reveal an increase in porosity with decreasing lignin content. However, after complete lignin removal, drying causes a nonreversible collapse of the cell wall, which results in reduced porosity.

Effect of Crystallinity on Water Vapor Sorption, Diffusion, and Permeation of PLA-Based Nanocomposites.

Project description:The effects of crystalline morphology and presence of nanoparticles such as cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), organically modified nanoclay (C30B), or a combination of both on water vapor sorption and diffusion in polylactide (PLA) were evaluated by a quartz spring microbalance (QSM). It was found that the large spherulite size induced by high-temperature processing leads to an increase in water sorption and a substantial reduction of diffusion with increasing crystallinity. Contrarily, small-sized spherulites, arising after low-temperature processing during solvent-casting, showed a different behavior with a slight decrease in both water vapor sorption and diffusion with increasing crystallinity. These observations suggest that solvent-casting at low temperatures should not be used to predict the properties a material will show after industrial-scale processing. From the analysis of the nanocomposite materials, it was concluded that nanoparticles affected the material's properties not only by themselves but also by modifying the crystalline morphology. Interestingly, this led to CNF showing similar performance to C30B, decreasing water diffusivity (21 vs 27%) on isothermally crystallized materials despite its less favorable geometry. Additionally, the incorporation of 1 wt % CNF and C30B decreased water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) by 24% under an amorphous state but by 44% in a crystallized state, which makes hybrid CNF/C30B composites a promising food packaging material.

Steady-state equation of water vapor sorption for CaCl<sub>2</sub>-based chemical sorbents and its application.

Project description:Green CaCl2-based chemical sorbent has been widely used in sorption refrigeration, air purification and air desiccation. Methods to improve the sorption rate have been extensively investigated, but the corresponding theoretical formulations have not been reported. In this paper, a sorption system of solid-liquid coexistence is established based on the hypothesis of steady-state sorption. The combination of theoretical analysis and experimental results indicates that the system can be described by steady-state sorption process. The steady-state sorption equation, μ = (η - γT) , was obtained in consideration of humidity, temperature and the surface area. Based on engineering applications and this equation, two methods including an increase of specific surface area and adjustment of the critical relative humidity (γ) for chemical sorbents, have been proposed to increase the sorption rate. The results indicate that the CaCl2/CNTs composite with a large specific surface area can be obtained by coating CaCl2 powder on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The composite reached sorption equilibrium within only 4 h, and the sorption capacity was improved by 75% compared with pure CaCl2 powder. Furthermore, the addition of NaCl powder to saturated CaCl2 solution could significantly lower the solution's γ. The sorption rate was improved by 30% under the same environment.

Sponge-like Chitosan Based Porous Monolith for Uraemic Toxins Sorption.

Project description:More than three million patients are treated for kidney failure world-wide. Haemodialysis, the most commonly used treatment, requires large amounts of water and generates mountains of non-recyclable plastic waste. To improve the environmental footprint, dialysis treatments need to develop absorbents to regenerate the waste dialysate. Whereas conventional dialysis clears water-soluble toxins, it is not so effective in clearing protein-bound uraemic toxins (PBUTs), such as indoxyl sulfate (IS). Thus, developing absorption devices to remove both water-soluble toxins and PBUTs would be advantageous. Vapour induced phase separation (VIPS) has been used in this work to produce polycaprolactone/chitosan (PCL/CS) composite symmetric porous monoliths with extra porous carbon additives to increase creatinine and albumin-bound IS absorption. Moreover, these easy-to-fabricate porous monoliths can be formed into the required geometry. The PCL/CS porous monoliths absorbed 436 μg/g of albumin-bound IS and 2865 μg/g of creatinine in a single-pass perfusion model within 1 h. This porous PCL/CS monolith could potentially be used to absorb uraemic toxins, including PBUTs, and thus allow the regeneration of waste dialysate and the development of a new generation of environmentally sustainable dialysis treatments, including wearable devices.

Green Graphene-Chitosan Sorbent Materials for Mercury Water Remediation.

Project description:The development of new graphene-based nanocomposites able to provide synergistic effects for the adsorption of toxic heavy metals in realistic conditions (environment) is of higher demand for future applications. This work explores the preparation of a green nanocomposite based on the self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) with chitosan (CH) for the remediation of Hg(II) in different water matrices, including ultrapure and natural waters (tap water, river water, and seawater). Starting at a concentration of 50 μg L-1, the results showed that GO-CH nanocomposite has an excellent adsorption capacity of Hg (II) using very small doses (10 mg L-1) in ultrapure water with a removal percentage (% R) of 97 % R after only two hours of contact time. In the case of tap water, the % R was 81.4% after four hours of contact time. In the case of river and seawater, the GO-CH nanocomposite showed a limited performance due the high complexity of the water matrices, leading to a residual removal of Hg(II). The obtained removal of Hg(II) at equilibrium in river and seawater for GO-CH was 13% R and 7% R, respectively. Our studies conducted with different mimicked sea waters revealed that the removal of mercury is not affected by the presence of NO3- and Na+ (>90% R of Hg(II)); however, in the presence of Cl-, the mercury removal was virtually nonexistent (1% R of Hg(II)), most likely because of the formation of very stable chloro-complexes of Hg(II) with less affinity towards GO-CH.

Structurally Diverse Covalent Triazine-Based Framework Materials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution from Water.

Project description:A structurally diverse family of 39 covalent triazine-based framework materials (CTFs) are synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura polycondensation and tested as hydrogen evolution photocatalysts using a high-throughput workflow. The two best-performing CTFs are based on benzonitrile and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene sulfone linkers, respectively, with catalytic activities that are among the highest for this material class. The activities of the different CTFs are rationalized in terms of four variables: the predicted electron affinity, the predicted ionization potential, the optical gap, and the dispersibility of the CTFs particles in solution, as measured by optical transmittance. The electron affinity and dispersibility in solution are found to be the best predictors of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity.

The effects of temperature and relative humidity on trichloroethylene sorption capacities of building materials under conditions relevant to vapor intrusion.

Project description:In this research, the sorption capacities of trichloroethylene (TCE) vapors were investigated at ppbv concentrations on building materials in the temperature range from 283.15 K to 303.15 K and at relative humidity levels of 50% and 85%. These are conditions that are relevant to vapor intrusion investigations. Such interactions of TCE with different materials at different temperatures/ relative humidity have been studied to a very limited extent, and not yet at all at the extremely low concentration ranges in vapor intrusion scenarios. The sorption capacities of the building materials decrease as temperature increases. The isotherms are for the most part linear, indicating that the adsorption process takes place in the Henry's Law regime, except for cinderblock. The isosteric heats of adsorption have been calculated. The sorption capacities of glass wool and nylon carpet increased slightly when the relative humidity increased from 0% to 85% whereas the sorption capacities of printer paper, drywall, and cinderblock decreased significantly at elevated humidity levels. The influence of humidity is complicated since under certain conditions it may enhance sorption or inhibit sorption. The sorption capacities of the studied materials are in a range indicating the possibility of these processes should not be overlooked during vapor intrusion investigations.

Water vapor sorption and glass transition temperatures of phase-separated amorphous blends of hydrophobically-modified starch and sucrose.

Project description:This article contains water vapor sorption data obtained on amorphous blends of octenyl succinic acid-modified (denoted as hydrophobically modified starch; HMS) and sucrose (S) in the anhydrous weight HMS/S ratios between 100/0 and 27/75. The water vapor sorption data was obtained gravimetrically. The amorphous state of the blends was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The glass transition temperatures of the phase-separated blends are listed; the blends show phase separation into a sucrose-rich phase and a HMS-rich phase, the composition of which varies with the blend ratios. The sucrose-rich phase is characterized by a glass transition temperature T g,lower that is 40 to 90?K lower than the glass transition temperature T g,upper of the HMS-rich phase.

Nanoporous composites prepared by a combination of SBA-15 with Mg-Al mixed oxides. Water vapor sorption properties.

Project description:This work presents two easy ways for preparing nanostructured mesoporous composites by interconnecting and combining SBA-15 with mixed oxides derived from a calcined Mg-Al hydrotalcite. Two different Mg-Al hydrotalcite addition procedures were implemented, either after or during the SBA-15 synthesis (in situ method). The first procedure, i.e., the post-synthesis method, produces a composite material with Mg-Al mixed oxides homogeneously dispersed on the SBA-15 nanoporous surface. The resulting composites present textural properties similar to the SBA-15. On the other hand, with the second procedure (in situ method), Mg and Al mixed oxides occur on the porous composite, which displays a cauliflower morphology. This is an important microporosity contribution and micro and mesoporous surfaces coexist in almost the same proportion. Furthermore, the nanostructured mesoporous composites present an extraordinary water vapor sorption capacity. Such composites might be utilized as as acid-base catalysts, adsorbents, sensors or storage nanomaterials.
