Dissolution and Interaction of Cellulose Carbamate in NaOH/ZnO Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The dissolution and molecular interactions of cellulose carbamate (CC) in NaOH/ZnO aqueous solutions were studied using optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ¹H NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and molecular dynamic simulation. The dissolution of CC in NaOH/ZnO aqueous solutions using the freezing-thawing method was an exothermic process, and the lower temperature was favorable for the dissolution of CC. ZnO dissolved in NaOH aqueous solutions with the formation of Zn(OH)₄^2-, and no free Zn²⁺ ions existed in the solvents. NaOH/Na₂Zn(OH)₄ system formed strong interactions with the hydroxyl groups of CC to improve its solubility and the stability of CC solution. The results indicate that 7 wt% NaOH/1.6 wt% ZnO aqueous solution was the most appropriate solvent for the dissolution of CC. This work revealed the dissolution interaction of CC-NaOH/ZnO solutions, which is beneficial for the industrialization of the CarbaCell process.

Revisiting the Dissolution of Cellulose in NaOH as "Seen" by X-rays.

Project description:Cotton production is reaching a global limit, leading to a growing demand for bio-based textile fibers produced by other means. Textile fibers based on regenerated cellulose from wood holds great potential, but in order to produce fibers, the components need to be dissolved in suitable solvents. Furthermore, the dissolution process of cellulose is not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated the dissolution state of microcrystalline cellulose in aqueous NaOH by using primarily scattering methods. Contrary to previous findings, this study indicated that cellulose concentrations of up to 2 wt % are completely molecularly dissolved in 8 wt % NaOH. Scattering data furthermore revealed the presence of semi-flexible cylinders with stiff segments. In order to improve the dissolution capability of NaOH, the effects of different additives have been of interest. In this study, scattering data indicated that the addition of ZnO decreased the formation of aggregates, while the addition of PEG did not improve the dissolution properties significantly, although preliminary NMR data did suggest a weak attraction between PEG and cellulose. Overall, this study sheds further light on the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH and highlights the use of scattering methods to assess solvent quality.

Adsorption of Heavy Metals by Graphene Oxide/Cellulose Hydrogel Prepared from NaOH/Urea Aqueous Solution.

Project description:By taking advantage of cellulose, graphene oxide (GO), and the process for crosslinking using epichlorohydrin (ECH), we propose a simple and novel method to prepare GO/cellulose hydrogel with good potential to adsorb metal ions. GO nanosheets containing carboxyl and hydroxyl groups were introduced into the surface of the cellulose hydrogel with retention of the gel structure and its nanoporous property. Due to the introduction of GO, the GO/cellulose composite hydrogels exhibited good compressive strength. Adsorption capacity of Cu2+ significantly increases with an increase in the GO/cellulose ratio and GO/cellulose hydrogel showed high adsorption rates. The calculated adsorption capacities at equilibrium ( q e cal ) for GO/cellulose hydrogel (GO:cellulose = 20:100 in weight) was up to 94.34 mg·g-1, which was much higher than that of the pristine cellulose hydrogels. Furthermore, GO/cellulose hydrogel exhibited high efficient regeneration and metal ion recovery, and high adsorption capacity for Zn2+, Fe3+, and Pb2+.

Structure of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Aqueous Solutions: A SANS and Rheology Study.

Project description:We report a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rheology study of cellulose derivative polyelectrolyte sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with a degree of substitution of 1.2. Using SANS, we establish that this polymer is molecularly dissolved in water with a locally stiff conformation with a stretching parameter[Formula: see text]. We determine the cross sectional radius of the chain ([Formula: see text] 3.4 Å) and the scaling of the correlation length with concentration (? = 296 c-1/2Å for c in g/L) is found to remain unchanged from the semidilute to concentrated crossover as identified by rheology. Viscosity measurements are found to be in qualitative agreement with scaling theory predictions for flexible polyelectrolytes exhibiting semidilute unentangled and entangled regimes, followed by what appears to be a crossover to neutral polymer concentration dependence of viscosity at high concentrations. Yet those higher concentrations, in the concentrated regime defined by rheology, still exhibit a peak in the scattering function that indicates a correlation length that continues to scale as[Formula: see text]. © 2014 The Authors.

SDS-PAGE for Monitoring the Dissolution of Zinc Oxide Bactericidal Nanoparticles (Zinkicide) in Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:Zinkicide is a systemic bactericidal formulation containing protein-size fluorescent zinc oxide-based nanoparticles (nano-ZnO). Previous studies have shown that Zinkicide is effective in controlling citrus diseases. Its field performance as an antimicrobial agent has been linked to the bioavailability of zinc ions (Zn2+) at the target site. It is therefore important to monitor Zn2+ release from Zinkicide so that application rates and frequency can be estimated. In this study, we present a simplistic approach designed to monitor Zinkicide nanoparticle dissolution rates in water and acidic buffer solutions using traditional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The evolution of nano-ZnO in the polyacrylamide gel scaffolds was studied by exciting the sample with UV light and detecting the fluorescence of nano-ZnO. Fluorescence intensities measured with this assay allowed for quantitative analysis of molecular weight changes of nano-ZnO in citrate buffer, a surrogate of citrus juice. Our results demonstrated that citrate buffer induced the greatest degradation of Zinkicide. Fluorescence intensity fluctuations were observed over time, indicating interactions of citrate with the surface of nano-ZnO. These findings provide a new approach to quantify the dissolution of nanoparticles in simulated environments, even when other analytical methods lack sensitivity because of the small size of the system (?4 nm).

Dissolution of Mesoporous Silica Supports in Aqueous Solutions: Implications for Mesoporous Silica-based Water Treatment Processes.

Project description:Under pH 7 - 10 conditions, the mesoporous silica supports proposed for use in water treatment are relatively unstable. In batch experiments conducted in pH 7 solutions, the commonly used support SBA-15 dissolved quickly, releasing approximately 30 mg/L of dissolved silica after 2 hours. In column experiments, more than 45% of an initial mass of 0.25 g SBA-15 dissolved within 2 days when a pH 8.5 solution flowed through the column. In a mixed iron oxide/SBA-15 system, the dissolution of SBA-15 changed the iron oxide reactivity toward H(2)O(2) decomposition, because dissolved silica deposited on iron oxide surface and changed its catalytic active sites. As with SBA-15, other mesoporous silica materials including HMS, MCM-41, four types of functionalized SBA-15, and two types of metal oxide-containing SBA-15 also dissolved under circumneutral pH solutions. The dissolution of mesoporous silica materials raises questions about their use under neutral and alkaline pH in aqueous solutions, because silica dissolution might compromise the behavior of the material.

Reductive dissolution of As(V)-bearing Fe(III)-precipitates formed by Fe(II) oxidation in aqueous solutions.

Project description:Iron(III)-precipitates formed by the oxidation of dissolved Fe(II) are important sorbents for major and trace elements in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Their reductive dissolution in turn may result in the release of associated elements. We examined the reductive dissolution kinetics of an environmentally relevant set of Fe(II)-derived arsenate-containing Fe(III)-precipitates whose structure as function of phosphate (P) and silicate (Si) content varied between poorly-crystalline lepidocrocite, amorphous Fe(III)-phosphate, and Si-containing ferrihydrite. The experiments were performed with 0.2-0.5 mM precipitate-Fe(III) using 10 mM Na-ascorbate as reductant, 5 mM bipyridine as Fe(II)-complexing ligand, and 10 mM MOPS/5 mM NaOH as pH 7.0 buffer. Times required for the dissolution of half of the precipitate (t50%) ranged from 1.5 to 39 h; spanning a factor 25 range. At loadings up to ~ 0.2 P/Fe (molar ratio), phosphate decreased the t50% of Si-free precipitates, probably by reducing the crystallinity of lepidocrocite. The reductive dissolution of Fe(III)-phosphates formed at higher P/Fe ratios was again slower, possibly due to P-inhibited ascorbate binding to precipitate-Fe(III). The slowest reductive dissolution was observed for P-free Si-ferrihydrite with ~ 0.1 Si/Fe, suggesting that silicate binding and polymerization may reduce surface accessibility. The inhibiting effect of Si was reduced by phosphate. Dried-resuspended precipitates dissolved 1.0 to 1.8-times more slowly than precipitates that were kept wet after synthesis, most probably because drying enhanced nanoparticle aggregation. Variations in the reductive dissolution kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation products as reported from this study should be taken into account when addressing the impact of such precipitates on the environmental cycling of co-transformed nutrients and contaminants.

Preparation of a Novel Cellulose-Styrene Copolymer Adsorbent and Its Adsorption of Nitrobenzene from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:A novel cellulose-styrene copolymer adsorbent (cellulose-St) was prepared using free radical polymerization. Successful polymerization was confirmed through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Carbon 13 Solid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C NMR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), etc. Cellulose-St possessed good hydrophobicity, and the best water contact angle of cellulose-St samples could reach 146°. It had the ability of adsorption for nitrobenzene (NB), and the adsorption process could be well described by the pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.99) and three-stage intraparticle diffusion (R2 > 0.99) kinetic models. Furthermore, the dynamic adsorption experiments revealed that cellulose-St had the potential for continuous separation of NB in water, and the breakthrough point for the initial NB concentration of 10 mg/L reached 1.275 L/g. Moreover, cellulose-St exhibited excellent environmental adaptability that it could maintain its hydrophobicity and adsorption ability for NB in strong acids, strong alkalis, or organic solvents. The used cellulose-St could be reused after washing with ethanol and keep almost constant adsorption capacity after ten cycles.

Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Fiber Yarns Spun from Deep Eutectic Cellulose Solutions for Nonspecific Hormone Capture in Aqueous Matrices.

Project description:A wood based yarn platform for capturing pharmaceutical molecules from water was developed. Cellulose fiber yarns were modified with cyclodextrins, and the capture of 17?-ethinyl estradiol (EE2), a synthetic estrogen hormone used as contraceptive, from water was tested. The yarns were prepared by spinning a deep eutectic solution (DES) of cellulose in choline chloride-urea. Despite their high porosity and water sorption capacity (5 g/g), the spun fiber yarns displayed high wet strength, up to 60% of that recorded in dry condition (128 MPa with 17% strain at break). Cyclodextrin irreversible attachment on the yarns was achieved with adsorbed chitosan and the conjugation reactions and capture of EE2 by the cyclodextrin-modified cellulose were confirmed via online detection with Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The facile synthesis of the bioactive yarns and EE2 binding capacity from aqueous matrices (as high as 2.5 mg/g) indicate excellent prospects for inexpensive platforms in disposable affinity filtration. The study presents a strategy to produce a wood fiber based yarn to be used as a platform for human and veterinary pharmaceutical hormone capture.

Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE)-Labeled Cellulose Nanocrystals for the Detection of Nitrophenolic Explosives in Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active cellulose nanocrystals (TPE-CNCs) were synthesized by attaching tetraphenylethylene (TPE) to cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The structure and morphology of TPE-CNCs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, ζ-potential measurements, elemental analysis, TEM, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS). Fluorescent properties of TPE-CNCs were also further studied. Unlike aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), TPE-CNCs emitted weak fluorescence in the dilute suspensions, while emitting efficiently in the aggregated states. The AIE mechanism of TPE-CNCs was attributed to the restriction of an intramolecular rotation (RIR) process in the aggregated states. TPE-CNCs displayed good dispersity in water and stable fluorescence, which was reported through the specific detection of nitrophenolic explosives in aqueous solutions by a fluorescence quenching assay. The fluorescence emissions of TPE-CNCs showed quantitative and sensitive responses to picric acid (PA), 2,4-dinitro-phenol (DNP), and 4-nitrophenol (NP), and the detection limits were 220, 250, and 520 nM, respectively. Fluorescence quenching occurred through a static mechanism via the formation of a nonfluorescent complex between TPE-CNCs and nitrophenolic analytes. A fluorescence lifetime measurement revealed that the quenching was a static process. The results demonstrated that TPE-CNCs were excellent sensors for the detection of nitrophenolic explosives in aqueous systems, which has great potential applications in chemosensing and bioimaging.

Cellulose dissolution in diallylimidazolium methoxyacetate + N-methylpyrrolidinone mixture.

Project description:The utilization of cellulose in industrial applicat is of great significance to sustainable development of human society and reducing dependence on dwindling fossil resources. Nevertheless, this utilization of cellulose has actually been limited due to its insolubilization. Here, novel solvents consisting of diallylimidazolium methoxy acetate ([A2im][CH3OCH2COO]) and N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) were developed. The solubility of cellulose in [A2im][CH3OCH2COO]/NMP was determined, and the influence of [A2im][CH3OCH2COO]/NMP molar ratio on cellulose dissolution was systematically investigated. Meanwhile, we also presented the affecting factors of the cellulose material fabrication including preparation approach, [A2im][CH3OCH2COO] and cellulose solution concentration. Attractively, the [A2im][CH3OCH2COO]/NMP solvents display much powerful dissolution capacity for cellulose even at 25 °C (25.4 g 100 g-1). This is mainly ascribed to the combined factors: The hydrogen bond interactions of the H2, H4 and H6 in [A2im]+ and carboxyl O atom in [CH3OCH2COO]- with the hydroxyl H atom and O atom in cellulose; the dissociation of NMP towards [A2im][CH3OCH2COO]; the stabilization of NMP towards the dissolved cellulose chains. In addition, the thermostability and chemical structure of the regenerated cellulose from the solvents was also estimated.
