Development of hybrid green nanocomposite polymeric beads doped with nano sulfated zirconia for effective removal of Cefotaxime antibiotic from aqueous solution.

ABSTRACT: Adsorption efficiency of Cefotaxime by novel nanocomposites beads composed of iota carrageenan (IC), sulfonated poly vinyl alcohol (SPVA) and nano sulfated zirconia (SZrO₂) was evaluated in this study. SZrO₂ was synthesized from solvent-free and easy calcination technique then embedded with 1-2.5 wt.% into the polymeric matrix. A batch adsorption experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of dosage, pH, beginning concentration, and time on Cefotaxime antibiotic adsorption. The ideal conditions to achieve complete removal are 88.97 mg L^-1 initial cefotaxime concentration at time 3.58 h with 11.68 mg of beads composite with 2.5 wt.% of SZrO₂. The pseudo second order kinetics model better illustrated the adsorption of cefotaxime on nanocomposite beads, and the maximum adsorption capacity are 659 mg g^-1 for the composite with 2.5 wt.% of SZrO₂. The mechanism of adsorption process depend mainly on the interactions between the different functional groups of SPVA, IC and SZrO₂. The nanocomposites beads also exhibit excellent reproducibility after ten adsorption cycles. This type of nanocomposites beads can be easily separated from water without leaving any residue, verifying this novel nanocomposite beads has strong potential in water treatment for the antibiotic contaminant removal.

Design of Promising Green Cation-Exchange-Membranes-Based Sulfonated PVA and Doped with Nano Sulfated Zirconia for Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells.

Project description:The direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) is a low-temperature fuel cell that requires the development of affordable price and efficient proton exchange membranes for commercial purposes. In this context, super-acidic sulfated zirconia (SO4ZrO2) was embedded into a cheap and environmentally friendly binary polymer blend, developed from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and iota carrageenan (IC). The percentage of SO4ZrO2 ranged between 1 and 7.5 wt.% in the polymeric matrix. The study findings revealed that the composite membranes' physicochemical features improved by adding increasing amounts of SO4ZrO2. In addition, there was a decrease in the permeability and swelling ratio of the borohydride membranes as the SO4ZrO2 weight% increased. Interestingly, the power density increased to 76 mW cm-2 at 150 mA cm-2, with 7.5 wt.% SO4ZrO2, which is very close to that of Nafion117 (91 mW cm-2). This apparent selectivity, combined with the low cost of the eco-friendly fabricated membranes, points out that DBFC has promising future applications.

Nano-hydroxyapatite polymeric hydrogels for dye removal.

Project description:Herein, two kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite were synthesized from Clam and Magellan shell by wet chemical precipitation method. Mainly, carboxymethyl cellulose/acrylamide/nano-hydroxyapatite composite hydrogels were developed via a free-radical polymerization process and investigated as a sorbent for Acid Blue 113 (AB) from aqueous AB solution. The swelled and kinetic behaviours of hydrogels were investigated using a gravimetric method. The swelling properties of the CMC-AM-hydrogels were influenced by the calcium electrolytes (Ca2+) content in nano-hydroxyapatites. The diffusion coefficient value increased with the increase of nano-hydroxyapatite content in the CMC-AM/nHA-CS (0.22353-0.27681 cm2 s-1) and CMC-AM/nHA-MS (0.22377-0.29737 cm2 s-1) hydrogels. The mechanism of water diffusion was found to be anomalous transport. The CMC-AM/nHA-MS hydrogels showed high AB absorption efficiency and adsorption capacities. These results explained that the nano-hydroxyapatites of Magellan shells based hydrogels are attractive nanocomposite hydrogels for the adsorption of dye in the water purification applications.

Photo-Assisted Removal of Tetracycline Using Bio-Nanocomposite-Immobilized Alginate Beads.

Project description:In the present study, we report an efficient method for tetracycline (TC) removal from contaminated wastewater using alginate beads, immobilized with bio nanocomposite (BNC) consisting of Fe3O4 (iron oxide) and TiO2 (titanium dioxide) nanoparticles along with dead biomass of TC-resistant bacteria Acinetobacter sp. Chemically synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles and commercially available TiO2 (P25) nanoparticles were combined to form nanocomposite followed by encapsulation within alginate beads along with heat-killed biomass of Acinetobactersp. for the efficient degradation and adsorption of the target pollutant. The primary characterization of chemically synthesized nanoparticles was carried out with Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The batch studies for TC removal were performed by varying the reaction parameters such as bead weight, initial TC concentration, and pH in a photoreactor with UV-C irradiation. TC concentration of 10 mg/L, bead weight 10 g, and pH 6 were fixed as the optimum condition where 98 ± 0.5% of TC was removed from the solution. The possible removal mechanism was investigated with the help of UV-visible, total organic carbon, oxidation-reduction potential, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy analyses. The applicability of the process was successfully tested with the natural water systems spiked with TC at 10 mg/L. To assess the ecotoxic effects of the treated effluents, the cell viability assay was performed with the algal strains, Chlorella, and Scenedesmussp. and the bacterial strains, Pseudomonas aeruginosaand Escherichia coli. Finally, the reusability of the BNC bead was successfully established up to the 4th cycle.

Fabrication of Highly Porous Polymeric Nanocomposite for the Removal of Radioactive U(VI) and Eu(III) Ions from Aqueous Solution.

Project description:In the present study, a polymeric nanocomposite, CoFe2O4@DHBF, was fabricated using 2,4 dihydroxybenzaldehyde and formaldehyde in basic medium with CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The fabricated nanocomposite was characterized using FTIR, TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS analyses. The analytical results revealed that the magnetic nanocomposite was fabricated successfully with high surface area 370.24 m2/g. The fabricated CoFe2O4@DHBF was used as an efficient adsorbent for the adsorption of U(VI) and Eu(III) ions from contaminated water. pH, initial concentration, adsorption time, and the temperature of the contaminated water solution affecting the adsorption ability of the nanocomposites were studied. The batch adsorption results exposed that the adsorption capacity for the removal of U(VI) and Eu(III) was found to be 237.5 and 225.5 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics support that both the metal ions follow second order adsorption kinetics. The adsorption isotherm well fits with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the correlation coefficient (R2) values were found to be 0.9920 and 0.9913 for the adsorption of U(VI) and Eu(III), respectively. It was noticed that the fabricated nanocomposites show excellent regeneration ability and about 220.1 and 211.3 mg/g adsorption capacity remains with U(VI) and Eu(III) under optimum conditions.

Chromium removal from aqueous solution by a PEI-silica nanocomposite.

Project description:It is essential and important to determine the adsorption mechanism as well as removal efficiency when using an adsorption technique to remove toxic heavy metals from wastewater. In this research, the removal efficiency and mechanism of chromium removal by a silica-based nanoparticle were investigated. A PEI-silica nanoparticle was synthesized by a one-pot technique and exhibited uniformly well-dispersed PEI polymers in silica particles. The adsorption capacity of chromium ions was determined by a batch adsorption test, with the PEI-silica nanoparticle having a value of 183.7 mg/g and monolayer sorption. Adsorption of chromium ions was affected by the solution pH and altered the nanoparticle surface chemically. First principles calculations of the adsorption energies for the relevant adsorption configurations and XPS peaks of Cr and N showed that Cr(VI), [HCrO4]- is reduced to two species, Cr(III), CrOH2+ and Cr3+, by an amine group and that Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions are adsorbed on different functional groups, oxidized N and NH3+.

Synergistic Tribo-Activity of Nanohybrids of Zirconia/Cerium-Doped Zirconia Nanoparticles with Nano Lamellar Reduced Graphene Oxide and Molybdenum Disulfide.

Project description:Zirconia and 10%, 20%, and 30% cerium-doped zirconia nanoparticles (ZCO), ZCO-1, ZCO-2, and ZCO-3, respectively, were prepared using auto-combustion method. Binary nanohybrids, ZrO2@rGO and ZCO-2@rGO (rGO = reduced graphene oxide), and ternary nanohybrids, ZrO2@rGO@MoS2 and ZCO-2@rGO@MoS2, have been prepared with an anticipation of a fruitful synergic effect of rGO, MoS2, and cerium-doped zirconia on the tribo-activity. Tribo-activity of these additives in paraffin oil (PO) has been assessed by a four-ball lubricant tester at the optimized concentration, 0.125% w/v. The tribo-performance follows the order: ZCO-2@rGO@MoS2 > ZrO2@rGO@MoS2 > ZCO-2@rGO > ZrO2@rGO > MoS2 > ZrO2 > rGO > PO. The nanoparticles acting as spacers control restacking of the nanosheets provided structural augmentation while nanosheets, in turn, prevent agglomeration of the nanoparticles. Doped nanoparticles upgraded the activity by forming defects. Thus, the results acknowledge the synergic effect of cerium-doped zirconia and lamellar nanosheets of rGO and MoS2. There is noncovalent interaction among all the individuals. Analysis of the morphological features of wear-track carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in PO and its formulations with various additives is consistent with the above sequence. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum of ZCO-2@rGO@MoS2 indicates the existence of zirconium, cerium, molybdenum, and sulfur on the wear-track, confirming, thereby, the active role played by these elements during tribofilm formation. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of worn surface reveal that the tribofilm is made up of rGO, zirconia, ceria, and MoS2 along with Fe2O3, MoO3, and SO42- as the outcome of the tribo-chemical reaction.

Phenylglyoxaldehyde-Functionalized Polymeric Sorbents for Urea Removal from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:For realization of a wearable artificial kidney based on regeneration of a small volume of dialysate, efficient urea removal from dialysate is a major challenge. Here a potentially suitable polymeric sorbent based on phenylglyoxaldehyde (PGA), able to covalently bind urea under physiological conditions, is described. Sorbent beads containing PGA groups were obtained by suspension polymerization of either styrene or vinylphenylethan-1-one (VPE), followed by modification of the aromatic groups of poly(styrene) and poly(VPE) into PGA. It was found that PGA-functionalized sorbent beads had maximum urea binding capacities of 1.4-2.2 mmol/g and removed ∼0.6 mmol urea/g in 8 h at 37 °C under static conditions from urea-enriched phosphate-buffered saline, conditions representative of dialysate regeneration. This means that the daily urea production of a dialysis patient can be removed with a few hundred grams of this sorbent which, is an important step forward in the development of a wearable artificial kidney.

An Innovative Porous Nanocomposite Material for the Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:Energy efficient, low-cost, user-friendly, and green methods for the removal of toxic phenolic compounds from aqueous solution are necessary for waste treatment in industrial applications. Herein we present an interesting approach for the utilization of oxidized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the removal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solution. Dried pristine CNTs were stably incorporated in a solid porous support of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) facilitating the handling during both oxidation process of the nanomaterial and uptake of phenolic compounds, and enabling their safe disposal, avoiding expensive post-treatment processes. The adsorption studies indicated that the materials can efficiently remove phenolic compounds from water with different affinities towards different phenolic compounds. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were studied in detail. The experimental data of adsorption fitted well with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, and pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the results indicated that the adsorption process was controlled by a two-step intraparticle diffusion model. The incorporation of CNTs in polymeric matrices did not affect their functionality in phenol uptake. The material was also successfully used for the removal of phenolic compounds from agricultural waste, suggesting its possible application in the treatment of wastewater. Moreover, the surface of the material could be regenerated, decreasing treatment costs.

Removal of Arsenic(III) from Aqueous Solution Using Metal Organic Framework-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite.

Project description:MIL-53(Al)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites of different GO to MIL-53(Al) mass ratios (1% to 25% GO) were synthesized and tested for removal of arsenite (As(III)), which is a well-known groundwater contaminant. The properties of MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments were performed on MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites for As(III) adsorption in aqueous solutions to investigate adsorption kinetics and isotherm behavior under varying environmental conditions. The effects of solution pH (2 to 11), initial As(III) concentrations (10⁻110 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.2⁻3.0 g/L), and temperature (298⁻318 K) on As(III) adsorption were investigated. MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites showed higher adsorption of As(III) than pristine MIL-53(Al) and GO individually. As (III) removal was optimized at a ratio of 3% GO in the MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite, with an adsorption capacity of 65 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Overall, these results suggest that MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite holds a significant promise for use in the remediation of As (III) from groundwater and other aqueous solutions.
