A N-doped porous carbon derived from deep eutectic solvent for adsorption of organic contaminants from aqueous or oil solution.

ABSTRACT: Porous N-doped carbon material (NCM) derived from deep eutectic solvent (DES) is successfully prepared. The preparation of NCM depends mainly on heating treatment and does not demand activation and filtration. The heating process contains three steps: (1) forming a DES that consists of glucose and urea at 100 °C; (2) preparing dried precursors by microwave; (3) and carbonizing the precursor. After heating, the resulting NCM can be obtained. The as-prepared NCM exhibits high specific surface area, rich micropores and strong Lewis basicity. Accordingly, NCMs show good adsorption performance for 4-nitrophenol or methylene blue in aqueous solution and thiophenic sulfurs in the oil phase. Apparently, NCM derived from DES not only possesses a simple preparation process, but also can remove a wide spectrum of organic pollutants. Therefore, the NCM prepared here may be promising for practical application.

The Effect of Water upon Deep Eutectic Solvent Nanostructure: An Unusual Transition from Ionic Mixture to Aqueous Solution.

Project description:The nanostructure of a series of choline chloride/urea/water deep eutectic solvent mixtures was characterized across a wide hydration range by neutron total scattering and empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR). As the structure is significantly altered, even at low hydration levels, reporting the DES water content is important. However, the DES nanostructure is retained to a remarkably high level of water (ca. 42?wt?% H2 O) because of solvophobic sequestration of water into nanostructured domains around cholinium cations. At 51?wt?%/83?mol?% H2 O, this segregation becomes unfavorable, and the DES structure is disrupted; instead, water-water and DES-water interactions dominate. At and above this hydration level, the DES-water mixture is best described as an aqueous solution of DES components.

Fabrication of Textile Waste Fibers Aerogels with Excellent Oil/Organic Solvent Adsorption and Thermal Properties.

Project description:In recent years, the treatment of textile waste has attracted more and more attention around the world. The reuse of textile waste can contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the sustainable development of the economy. Herein, we proposed a facile and cost-effective approach to fabricating aerogel by using textile waste fibers as the matrix and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as crosslinking agents. After being modified with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) via chemical vapor deposition, both the interior and exterior of the textile waste aerogels exhibit a hydrophobic property with a water contact angle of up to 136.9° ± 2.3°. A comprehensive investigation of the structure, thermal properties, mechanical properties and oil absorption capacity of this aerogel shows its potential for building insulation and oil spill cleanup. The textile waste fibers aerogels have low density and high porosity, good thermal stability and outstanding heat insulation properties (Kavg. = 0.049-0.061 W/m·K). With a maximum oil absorption value of 26.9 ± 0.6 g/g and rapid and effective oil/water mixture separation, the aerogel exhibits competitive commercial application value.

Fabrication of Novel Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-Layered Double Hydroxide for Detoxification of Organic Contaminants from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:A novel lamellar Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal method and tested as a highly efficient adsorbent for the removal of Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution. Structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterization of the Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-LDH nanocomposite were studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) analysis, and UV-visible spectroscopy analysis techniques. The CR dye adsorption performance of the prepared materials increased with an increase in functionality. The adsorption capacity of the Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-LDH nanocomposite (172 mg/g, pH 7, temp 30 °C) was found to be higher than that of pure Al(OH)3 (32 mg/g, pH 7, temp 30 °C) and CuMnAl-LDH (102 mg/g, pH 7, temp 30 °C). The results revealed that anion exchange and hydrogen bonding are mainly responsible for the adsorption of CR onto the Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-LDH nanocomposite. Moreover, the adsorption of CR in the presence of Cu(II) and NaCl salt showed a synergistic and antagonistic effect while the presence of anionic Cr(VI) ions had no significant effect. The adsorption thermodynamics, isotherm, and kinetics modeling analyses were also conducted to study the interactions between CR molecules and the Al(OH)3/CuMnAl-LDH nanocomposite. The adsorption of CR was found to be endothermic and followed by the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The developed nanocomposite showed excellent potential for treating industrial wastewater.

Preparation of N-Doped Carbon Nanosheets from Sewage Sludge for Adsorption Studies of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Porous activated carbon with specific morphology and structure are of particular importance for waste water treatment, especially for the adsorption of toxic hexavalent chromium Cr(VI). However, the scalable and cheap production of such absorbents still suffer a grand challenge. Herein, a new type of N-doped nanosheet was innovatively prepared from easily available and low-cost sewage sludge via a facile and recyclable KOH activation method. The N-doped porous carbon nanosheets (N-SAC) produced by introduction of KOH and dicyandiamide, which performed favourable features for metal ions adsorption (93.2% for Cr(VI)) due to its high specific surface area, tuneable pore size distributions and good hydrophilicity. Additionally, the capacity also remained high after two cycles of adsorption by thermal regeneration, with 90.8% removal rate. The DFT calculation also approved that the doping of N could optimize the Mulliken charges distribution and improve the HOMO energy and improve the adsorption ability of N-SAC. This original proposal may inspire new possibility of creating porous carbon absorbents in a recyclable method.

Adsorption and photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of organic dyes over crystalline LaFeO<sub>3</sub>-doped porous silica.

Project description:LaFeO3 (LFO)-doped mesoporous silica (HPS) (HPS-xLFO with theoretical LFO/silica molar ratio x = 0.075, 0.15, 0.3) was successfully prepared via impregnation of metal ions into the porous silica HPS-0LFO support and subsequent calcination. The characterization studies suggest that increasing the doping of LFO, which exhibited a particle size of ∼10-15 nm, in the silica support led to a reduction in surface area and bandgap of the resulting catalyst. The use of HPS-0.15LFO yielded a superior removal rate (98.9%) of Rhodamine B (RhB), thanks to the effective dark adsorption and visible light-induced photo-Fenton degradation, both of which were greater than those of pure LFO crystals. This enhancement could be explained by the unique properties of the mesoporous silica support. In particular, the wide-opening mesopores created a large surface area to dope LFO as active sites and minimize diffusion of RhB into pores during the photo-Fenton reaction. The photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of RhB could reach 98.6% within 90 min exposure to visible light irradiation under optimized conditions: RhB concentration = 10 mg L-1, catalyst dosage = 1 g L-1, pH = 6 and H2O2 = 15 mM. Moreover, the recycle and reuse test proved the good stability and repetitive use of HPS-0.15LFO for high performance RhB removal.

Understanding solvent effects on adsorption and protonation in porous catalysts.

Project description:Solvent selection is a pressing challenge in developing efficient and selective liquid phase catalytic processes, as predictive understanding of the solvent effect remains lacking. In this work, an attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy technique is developed to quantitatively measure adsorption isotherms on porous materials in solvent and decouple the thermodynamic contributions of van der Waals interactions within zeolite pore walls from those of pore-phase proton transfer. While both the pore diameter and the solvent identity dramatically impact the confinement (adsorption) step, the solvent identity plays a dominant role in proton-transfer. Combined computational and experimental investigations show increasingly favorable pore-phase proton transfer to pyridine in the order: water < acetonitrile < 1,4 - dioxane. Equilibrium methods unaffected by mass transfer limitations are outlined for quantitatively estimating fundamental thermodynamic values using statistical thermodynamics.

Ni, Co-Embedded MOF-Derived N-Doped Bimetallic Porous Carbon for Adsorption-Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes and Antibiotics.

Project description:An efficient protocol for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and antibiotics has been successfully established via MOF-derived (MOF = metal-organic framework) Ni, Co-embedded N-doped bimetallic porous carbon nanocomposites (NiCo/NC). Such a NiCo/NC nanocomposite features well-distributed structures, suitable specific surface areas, and more active sites determined by various characterization analyses. The catalyst exhibits higher photocatalytic performance and stability toward the liquid-phase degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation for 60 min, after the adsorption-desorption equilibrium and the thorough degradation into H2O and CO2. Radical quenching experiments further confirmed the dominant effect of electron holes h+ and superoxide radical anions ·O2- for the MB photodegradation process. NiCo/NC was also appropriate for the degradation of Rhodamine B, methyl orange, tetracycline hydrochloride, and norfloxacin. Moreover, NiCo/NC is robust, and its photocatalytic activity is basically maintained after 8 cycles. This work is expected to provide additional information for the design of MOF-derived carbon material with more excellent properties and lay the foundation for further industrial applications.

Efficient Removal of Diclofenac from Aqueous Solution by Potassium Ferrate-Activated Porous Graphitic Biochar: Ambient Condition Influences and Adsorption Mechanism.

Project description:Porous graphitic biochar was synthesized by one-step treatment biomass using potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) as activator for both carbonization and graphitization processes. The modified biochar (Fe@BC) was applied for the removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF) in an aqueous solution. The as-prepared material possesses a well-developed micro/mesoporous and graphitic structure, which can strengthen its adsorption capacity towards DCF. The experimental results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of Fe@BC for DCF obtained from Langmuir isotherm simulation was 123.45 mg·L-1 and it was a remarkable value of DCF adsorption in comparison with that of other biomass-based adsorbents previously reported. Thermodynamic quality and effect of ionic strength studies demonstrated that the adsorption was a endothermic process, and higher environmental temperatures may be more favorable for the uptake of DCF onto Fe@BC surface; however, the presence of NaCl in the solution slightly obstructed DCF adsorption. Adsorption capacity was found to be decreased with the increase of solution pH. Additionally, the possible mechanism of the DCF adsorption process on Fe@BC may involve chemical adsorption with the presence of H-bonding and π-π interaction. With high adsorption capacity and reusability, Fe@BC was found to be a promising absorbent for DCF removal from water as well as for water purification applications.

Green process to regenerate keratin from feathers with an aqueous deep eutectic solvent.

Project description:Poultry feathers, a source of keratin, are a significant side stream from the food industry, for which valorization is essential considering the circular economy aspects. For this, ecofriendly processes are the tools that allow the easy and feasible transformation of the feathers. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are generally considered as inexpensive, relatively simple, mild and environmentally friendly solvents which can dissolve proteins from protein-rich biomasses. In this work, feathers were processed with an aqueous DES to produce a uniform keratin feedstock. The proposed DES is composed of non-toxic sodium acetate and urea, with a small amount of water. After the DES treatment, water was used to dilute the DES components and regenerate the dissolved keratin. The processing conditions were optimized in terms of keratin yield and properties by varying the dissolution time from 2 h to 24 h and temperature from 80 °C to 100 °C. The yield of regenerated keratin was followed at different sodium acetate-urea molar ratios, and compared to the treatment performed with choline chloride-urea or 8 M urea as reference solvents. Sodium acetate-urea in the molar ratio of 1 : 2 at 100 °C and with 6 h dissolution time dissolved 86% of the feathers with a regenerated keratin yield of 45%. In the characterization of regenerated keratin, it was found that when the dissolution temperature was higher and the dissolution time longer, the disulfide and total sulfur content of feather keratin decreased, the range of molecular weights became wider, and some of the ordered secondary structure and crystallinity were lost.

A green hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for extraction of phenol from aqueous phase.

Project description:Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), have been recognized as effective materials for the extraction of different compounds. In this study, the performance of a novel hydrophobic DES was evaluated for the extraction of phenol from aqueous solutions. Octanoic and dodecanoic fatty acid precursors with a definite molar ratio of 3:1, respectively, were used for the DES having a low melting point of 8.3 °C. The purity and stability of the product were confirmed via characterizing by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR methods. The liquid-liquid equilibrium of the water + phenol + DES ternary system at different temperatures of 293.2, 298.2 and 308.2 K was accordingly studied through cloud point titration method and refractive index measurement. Interestingly, the important parameters of the solute distribution coefficient and the separation factor were, respectively, within the high levels of (6.8321-9.7787) and (895.76-2770.17), indicating the amazing capability of the DES. Reasonably, both of these parameters decreased with temperature. The NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were employed to reproduce the obtained tie-lines and to determine the interaction parameters at each temperature. The low level root mean square deviations for the mentioned models were, respectively, within (0.0014-0.0027) and (0.0045-0.0063); confirming satisfactorily agreement with the experimental data.
