Boron Removal by Sorption on Modified Chitosan Hydrogel Beads.

ABSTRACT: An excess concentration of boron in irrigation and drinking water can negatively affect the yield of plants and the human nervous system, respectively. To meet the recommended levels, hybrid biosorbent hydrogel beads based on chitosan and manganese (II-IV) were employed for the removal of boron from aqueous media. The results showed that the biosorbent effectively removed boric acid from the aqueous medium at neutral pH over a sorption time of 2 h and the liquid/hydrogel ratio of 20 mL/g, achieving a maximum sorption capacity near 190 mg/g. The modeling of the sorption equilibrium data indicated that the Freundlich isotherm equation gave the best fit out of the isotherm models examined. A pseudo-second-order model was found to best describe the sorption kinetics. The favorable attachment of manganese to the chitosan structure enabled the sorption of boron and was confirmed by FTIR, RS, XRD, SEM and ICP-OES methods. Boron desorption from the spent biosorbent was successfully achieved in three cycles using a NaOH solution. In general, the results of this research indicate that this method is one of the possibilities for improving water quality and may contribute to reducing pollution of the aquatic environment.

Chitosan Hydrogel Beads Supported with Ceria for Boron Removal.

Project description:In this study, a chitosan hydrogel supported with ceria (labelled Ce-CTS) was prepared by an encapsulation technique and used for the efficient removal of excess B(III) from aqueous solutions. The functionalisation of chitosan with Ce(IV) and the improvement in the adsorptive behaviour of the hydrogel were determined by SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) analyses and discussed. The results demonstrate that Ce-CTS removes boric acid from aqueous solutions more efficiently than either cerium dioxide hydrate or raw chitosan beads, the precursors of the Ce-CTS biosorbent. The maximum adsorption capacity of 13.5 ± 0.9 mg/g was achieved at pH 7 after 24 h. The equilibrium data of boron adsorption on Ce-CTS fitted the Freundlich isotherm model, while the kinetic data followed the Elovich pseudo-second-order model, which indicated that the process was non-homogeneous. The dominant mechanism of removal was the reaction between boric acid molecules and hydroxyl groups bound to the ceria chelated by chitosan active centres. Due to its high efficiency in removing boron, good regeneration capacity and convenient form, Ce-CTS may be considered a promising biosorbent in water purification.

Chitosan Hydrogel Beads Functionalized with Thymol-Loaded Solid Lipid?Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles.

Project description:In this study, the innovative and multifunctional nanoparticles?hydrogel nanocomposites made with chitosan hydrogel beads and solid lipid?polymer hybrid nanoparticles (SLPN) were prepared through conjugation between SLPN and chitosan beads. The SLPNs were first fabricated via coating the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-emulsified solid lipid nanoparticles with oxidized dextran. The aldehyde groups of the oxidized dextran on the surface of the SLPN enabled an in situ conjugation with the chitosan beads through the Schiff base linkage. The obtained nano-on-beads composite exhibited a spherical shape with a homogeneous size distribution. The successful conjugation of SLPN on the chitosan beads was confirmed by a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and a scanning electron microscope. The effects of the beads dosage (50, 100, 200, and 300 beads) and the incubation duration (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 min) on the conjugation efficiency of SLPN onto the beads were comprehensively optimized. The optimal formulations were found to be a 200 bead dosage, with 30?90 min incubation duration groups. The optimal formulations were then used to encapsulate thymol, an antibacterial agent, which was studied as a model compound. After encapsulation, the thymol exhibited sustained release profiles in the phosphate buffer saline. The as-prepared nanoparticles?hydrogel nanocomposites reported in this proof-of-concept study hold promising features as a controlled-release antibacterial approach for improving food safety.

CO2-Activated Adsorption: A New Approach to Dye Removal by Chitosan Hydrogel.

Project description:This study focuses on development of a new adsorption technique by CO2-activated chitosan. Carbon dioxide was utilized to form the functional chemical groups of chitosan on the adsorptions of anionic dyes, Brilliant Blue FCF and Congo Red, in the aqueous solution. CO2-activated chitosan results in the dye adsorption significantly faster than that of chitosan in pure water. The adsorption capacities and removal efficiencies of the dye are increased by CO2-activated chitosan. Furthermore, the dye adsorptions on CO2-activated chitosan were investigated at various temperatures and initial dye concentrations in the aqueous solution. Interestingly, the high temperature adsorption provides the enhancement of adsorption capacities and removal efficiencies of the dye by the carbamate cross-linking of chitosan with CO2. CO2-activated chitosan was further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, amino group ratio, zeta potential, and thermal gravimetric analysis. These characterizations can be used for understanding the unique adsorption of the dye on CO2-activated chitosan. Carbon dioxide-activated chitosan in this work will provide an effective operation and a clean process of dye adsorption in wastewater treatment.

In situ Preparation of Chitosan/ZIF-8 Composite Beads for Highly Efficient Removal of U(VI).

Project description:With the rapid growth of nuclear power generation and fuel processing, the treatment of nuclear industry wastewater has become a major problem, and if not handled properly, it will pose a potential threat to the ecological environment and human health. Herein, a chitosan (CS)/ZIF-8 composite monolithic beads with ZIF-8 loading up to 60 wt% for U(VI) removal was prepared, which can be easily removed after use. It possesses a very high adsorption capacity of 629 mg•g-1 at pH = 3 for U(VI) and a well recyclability is demonstrated for at least four adsorption/desorption cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was carried out to study the adsorption mechanism between uranium and adsorbent, and the chelation of U(VI) ions with imidazole, hydroxyl, and amino groups was revealed. This work shows that CS/ZIF-8 composite can be used as an effective adsorbent for uranium extraction from aqueous solution, and has a potential application value in wastewater treatment.

Chitosan-Cellulose Multifunctional Hydrogel Beads: Design, Characterization and Evaluation of Cytocompatibility with Breast Adenocarcinoma and Osteoblast Cells.

Project description:Cytocompatible polysaccharide-based functional scaffolds are potential extracellular matrix candidates for soft and hard tissue engineering. This paper describes a facile approach to design cytocompatible, non-toxic, and multifunctional chitosan-cellulose based hydrogel beads utilising polysaccharide dissolution in sodium hydroxide-urea-water solvent system and coagulation under three different acidic conditions, namely 2 M acetic acid, 2 M hydrochloric acid, and 2 M sulfuric acid. The effect of coagulating medium on the final chemical composition of the hydrogel beads is investigated by spectroscopic techniques (ATR-FTIR, Raman, NMR), and elemental analysis. The beads coagulated in 2 M acetic acid displayed an unchanged chitosan composition with free amino groups, while the beads coagulated in 2 M hydrochloric and sulfuric acid showed protonation of amino groups and ionic interaction with the counterions. The ultrastructural morphological study of lyophilized beads showed that increased chitosan content enhanced the porosity of the hydrogel beads. Furthermore, cytocompatibility evaluation of the hydrogel beads with human breast adenocarcinoma cells (soft tissue) showed that the beads coagulated in 2 M acetic acid are the most suitable for this type of cells in comparison to other coagulating systems. The acetic acid fabricated hydrogel beads also support osteoblast growth and adhesion over 192 h. Thus, in future, these hydrogel beads can be tested in the in vitro studies related to breast cancer and for bone regeneration.

Functionalized Glutathione on Chitosan-Genipin Cross-Linked Beads Used for the Removal of Trace Metals from Water.

Project description:Functionalized glutathione on chitosan-genipin cross-linked beads (CS-GG) was synthesized and tested as an adsorbent for the removal of Fe(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solution. The beads were characterized by several techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), CNS elementary analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The effect of several parameters such as the pH, the temperature, and the contact time was tested to optimize the condition for the adsorption reaction. The beads were incubated in aqueous solutions contaminated with different concentrations of Fe(II) and Cu(II) (under the range concentration from 10 to 400 mg·L-1), and the adsorption capacity was evaluated by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The adsorption equilibrium was reached after 120 min of incubation under optimal pH 5 for Fe(II) and after 180 min under optimal pH 6 for Cu(II). According to the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacities (q max) for Fe(II) and Cu(II) were 208 mg·g-1 and 217 mg·g-1, respectively. Our results showed that the adsorption efficiency of both metals on CS-GG beads was correlated with the degree of temperature. In addition, the adsorption reaction was spontaneous and endothermic, indicated by the positive values of ΔG 0 and ΔH 0. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that the new synthesized CS-GG beads had a strong adsorption capacity for Fe(II) and Cu(II) and were efficient to remove these trace metals from aqueous solution.

PEG/Sodium Tripolyphosphate-Modified Chitosan/Activated Carbon Membrane for Rhodamine B Removal.

Project description:Textile dyes from wastewater effluent are highly toxic to both living species and aqueous environments. An environmentally friendly method to remove hazardous dyes from wastewater in the textile industry has been a challenge. Chitosan (CS) and activated carbon (AC) are widely used as adsorbents for dye removal. However, the poor porosity and unsatisfactory stability of CS and the unfriendly cost of AC limited their applications to be used alone as a single adsorbent. Here, we report a novel method to prepare a CS/AC membrane using PEG10000 as a porogen and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking agent. The adsorption efficiency and reusability of the PEG/TPP-modified CS/AC membrane to remove RhB were investigated based on dynamic and static adsorption models. The results reveal that the adsorption performance of CS/AC membranes was significantly improved after the PEG/TPP modification based on the abundance macroporous structure. The modified CS/AC membrane with a 30% AC doping ratio exhibited an excellent adsorption efficiency of 91.29 and 73.91% in the dynamic and static adsorption processes, respectively. These results provide new insights into designing membranes to remove dyes from wastewater efficiently.

Removal of Mn (II) by Sodium Alginate/Graphene Oxide Composite Double-Network Hydrogel Beads from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:After the successful preparation of empirical double network hydrogel beads from graphene oxide/sodium alginate(GO/SA), its cationic metal adsorption performance in aqueous solutions were investigated. Taking Mn(II) as an example, the contribution of several factors including pH, bead dosage, temperature, contact time and initial concentration ions to adsorption efficiency were examined. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results indicate that the GO/SA double (GAD) network hydrogel bead strongly interpenetrate and the adsorption of Mn(II) is mainly influenced by solution pH, bead dose and temperature. The GAD beads exhibit an excellent adsorption capacity of 56.49?mg?g-1. The adsorption process fit both Pseudo-second order kinetic model (R2?>?0.97) and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm (R2?>?0.99) and is spontaneous. After seven rounds of adsorption-desorption cycle, the adsorption capacity of GAD hydrogel remained unchanged at 18.11?mg/g.
