Sustainable Development of Magnetic Chitosan Core-Shell Network for the Removal of Organic Dyes from Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The wide use of alizarin red S (ARS), a typical anthraquinone dye, has led to its continued accumulation in the aquatic environment, which causes mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on organisms. Therefore, this study focused on the removal of ARS dye by adsorption onto a magnetic chitosan core-shell network (MCN). The successful synthesis of the MCN was confirmed by ATR-FTIR, SEM, and EDX analysis. The influence of several parameters on the removal of ARS dye by the MCN revealed that the adsorption process reached equilibrium after 60 min, pH played a major role, and electrostatic interactions dominated for the ARS dye removal under acidic conditions. The adsorption data were described well by the Langmuir isotherm and a pseudo-second order kinetic model. In addition to the preferable adsorption of hydrophobic dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions onto the MCN, the electrostatic repulsive forces between the previously adsorbed DOM onto MCN and ARS dye resulted in lower ARS dye removal. Furthermore, the MCN could easily be regenerated and reused for up to at least five cycles with more than 70% of its original efficiency. Most importantly, the spent MCN was pyrolytically converted into N-doped magnetic carbon and used as an adsorbent for various dyes, thus establishing a waste-free adsorption process.

Project description:Porous coordination polymers have received intensive attention for pollution abatement, such as dye removal, because of their high porosity and specific surface areas. However, the commonly used water-stable porous coordination polymers are microporous and synthesized within organic solvents, which deters seriously their widespread application. In this report, we developed a facile strategy for the synthesis of mesoporous Zr-based coordination polymer (Zr-BDC-CP) within aqueous solutions. The morphology and structure of Zr-BDC-CP were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pore size distribution analysis confirms that the as-synthesized material is mesoporous, which allows the efficient adsorption of methylene blue, 2.6 times higher than that of the microporous coordination polymer, UiO-66. The decolorization ratio can reach higher than 93.5% in the range of 10 and 400 mg/L for methylene blue solutions. This Zr-based coordination polymer shows wonderful pH stability, where no significant loss of adsorption capacities was observed between pH values of 3 and 11. The simulation of adsorption isotherm indicates that the Freundlich model can fit the adsorption isotherm very well, which reflects that the surface of adsorbents is inhomogeneous. Fitting of kinetic curves shows that the dye adsorption by Zr-BDC-CP follows the pseudo-second-order model, which confirms that the rate-determining step may be a chemisorption process involving valence forces because of the defects within the frameworks of the mesoporous coordination polymer. Zr-BDC-CP also shows desirable recyclability without significant capacity loss. This work presents a facile and sustainable method for the preparation of mesoporous Zr-based coordination polymer for dye removal with excellent stability and recyclability, which could further push the porous coordination polymers for application in the areas of pollution abatement.
