Chitosan Functionalized with Carboxyl Groups as a Recyclable Biomaterial for the Adsorption of Cu (II) and Zn (II) Ions in Aqueous Media.

ABSTRACT: The modification of chitosan represents a challenging task in obtaining biopolymeric materials with enhanced removal capacity for heavy metals. In the present work, the adsorption characteristics of chitosan modified with carboxyl groups (CTS-CAA) towards copper (II) and zinc (II) ions have been tested. The efficacy of the synthesis of CTS-CAA has been evaluated by studying various properties of the modified chitosan. Specifically, the functionalized chitosan has been characterized by using several techniques, including thermal analyses (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry), spectroscopies (FT-IR, XRD), elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The kinetics and the adsorption isotherms of CTS-CAA towards both Cu (II) and Zn (II) have been determined in the aqueous solvent under variable pH. The obtained results have been analyzed by using different adsorption models. In addition, the experiments have been conducted at variable temperatures to explore the thermodynamics of the adsorption process. The regeneration of CTS-CAA has been investigated by studying the desorption process using different eluents. This paper reports an efficient protocol to synthesize chitosan-based material perspective as regenerative adsorbents for heavy metals.

Project description:Water contaminated with heavy metal ions is extremely poisonous and threatens living organisms. Therefore, scientists place a premium on removing heavy metal ions from water that has already been contaminated. Removing metal ions from water typically involves the use of nanomaterials. Chitosan was made by extracting it from shrimp shells and combining it with a 3 : 1 ratio of synthetically produced AgNPs/GO. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate an AgNPs/GO/chitosan nanocomposite (XRD). A number of studies must be run to determine the optimal pH, adsorbent quantity, retention period, stirring speed, temperature, and initial concentration. The studies were conducted in a variety of ways. The isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich were utilized. The industrial wastewater was used in the column adsorption experiment, and the flow rates and column bed heights were varied. An optimum contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage for Mn(ii) were determined. At 30 minutes, pH 6, and 0.05 grams of Mn(ii) adsorbent per 100 ml, with agitation at 250 rpm, room temperature of 30 °C, and an initial concentration of 40 ppm, the best conditions were discovered. A positive correlation coefficient finding (R 2 = 0.925) indicates a good fit for Mn, according to equilibrium studies (II). The pseudo-second-order active model was connected to data that suited the pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order models. In the intra-particle diffusion model, the mechanism must proceed through four phases before equilibrium is reached. In an industrial adsorbent column, the adsorbent was put to the test. The periodicity test demonstrates that the nanocomposite's adsorption capability can be recovered by washing it with 0.1 M HCl. Mn(ii) adsorbed on AgNPs/GO/Chitosan after four cycles was only 20%, insufficient for additional adsorption tests. The repeated cycles that led to the partial loss of the adsorbate may have reduced the adsorbent material's efficacy.
