Sorption of Aromatic Compounds with Copolymer Sorbent Materials Containing β-Cyclodextrin.

ABSTRACT: Urethane copolymer sorbent materials that incorporate β-cyclodextrin (CD) have been prepared and their sorption properties with chlorinated aromatic compounds (i.e., pentachlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) have been evaluated. The sorption properties of granular activated carbon (GAC) were similarly compared in aqueous solution at variable pH conditions. The sorbents displayed variable BET surface areas as follows: MDI-X copolymers (< 10¹ m²/g), CDI-X copolymers (< 10¹ m²/g), and granular activated carbon (GAC ~10³ m²/g). The sorption capacities for the copolymers sorbents are listed in descending order, as follows: GAC > CDI-3 copolymer ≈ MDI-3 copolymer. The sorption capacity for the aromatic adsorbates with each sorbent are listed in descending order, as follows: 2,4-dichlorophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid > pentachlorophenol. In general, the differences in the sorption properties of the copolymer sorbents with the chlorinated organics were related to the following factors: (i) surface area of the sorbent; (ii) CD content and accessibility; and (iii) and the chemical nature of the sorbent material.

Uncommon Sorption Mechanism of Aromatic Compounds onto Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan/Maleic Anhydride-β-Cyclodextrin Hydrogels.

Project description:Aromatic hydrocarbons are extensive environmental pollutants occurring in both water and air media, and their removal is a priority effort for a healthy environment. The use of adsorbents is among the several strategies used for the remediation of these compounds. In this paper, we aim the synthesis of an amphiphilic hydrogel with the potential for the simultaneous sorption of a set of monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with toxicity effects in humans. Thus, we start by the synthesis of a copolymer-based in chitosan and β-cyclodextrin previously functionalized with the maleic anhydride. The presence of β-cyclodextrin will confer the ability to interact with hydrophobic compounds. The resulting material is posteriorly incorporated in a cryogel of poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix. We aim to improve the amphiphilic ability of the hydrogel matrix. The obtained hydrogel was characterized by swelling water kinetics, thermogravimetric analysis, rheological measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. The sorption of aromatic hydrocarbons onto the gel is characterized by pseudo-first-order kinetics and Henry isotherm, suggesting a physisorption mechanism. The results show that the presence of maleic anhydride-β-cyclodextrin and chitosan into hydrogels leads to an increase in the removal efficiency of the aromatic compounds. Additionally, the capacity of this hydrogel for removing these pollutants from a fossil fuel sample has also been tested.

Synthesis, characterization and sorption studies of aromatic compounds by hydrogels of chitosan blended with β-cyclodextrin- and PVA-functionalized pectin.

Project description:Petroleum comprises the monoaromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which exhibit acute toxicity towards living animals. Consequently, their removal from natural environment is a priority challenge. On the other hand, biomaterials are increasingly being used as adsorbents. Pectin and chitosan are well-known polysaccharides able to form coacervate hydrogels. Aiming an increase of sorption ability by hydrophobic compounds, pectin was also functionalized with two amphiphilic compounds: β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Both the modified pectin and the hydrogels were evaluated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The hydrogels were further characterized in terms of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and swelling kinetics. The interaction between the hydrogel and mix solutions containing six different aromatic compounds (BTXs and the following PAHs: pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and benzo(a)pyrene) has been evaluated through sorption isotherms and kinetics. The mechanism of sorption interaction and the selectivity of the adsorbents towards different aromatic compounds were discussed. The results clearly show that the presence of β-CD and PVA into gel leads to an increase in the removal efficiency of both, BTXs and PAHs. The gels were subjected to two sorption/desorption cycles to have an assessment of the capability of adsorbents for re-use. Finally, the sorption quantification of those six aromatic compounds from a real gasoline sample onto gels has been tested.

Synthesis of β-cyclodextrin containing copolymer via "click" chemistry and its self-assembly in the presence of guest compounds.

Project description:We report the synthesis of a hydrophilic copolymer with one polyethylene glycol (PEG) block and one β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) containing block by a "click" reaction between azido-substituted β-CD and propargyl flanking copolymer. (1)H NMR study suggested a highly efficient conjugation of β-CD units by this approach. The obtained copolymer was used as a host macromolecule to construct assemblies in the presence of hydrophobic guests. For assemblies containing a hydrophobic polymer, their size can be simply adjusted by simply changing the content of hydrophobic component. By serving as a guest molecule, hydrophobic drugs can also be loaded accompanying the formation of nanoparticles, and the drug payload is releasable. Therefore, the copolymer synthesized herein can be employed as a carrier for drug delivery.

Heavy Metal Ions(II) Sorption by a Cellulose-Based Sorbent Containing Sulfogroups.

Project description:This article concerns the effect of the chemical modification of short flax fiber on its sorption properties for heavy metal ions. The main purpose of the modification was to achieve the oxidation of flax cellulose with sodium metaperiodate to form dialdehyde cellulose. Additionally, the research shows the subsequent interaction of dialdehyde cellulose with 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and its transformation into a derivative capable of forming chelate complexes with heavy metal ions. Additionally, this article presents the results of equilibrium and kinetics studies of the sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II), and Fe(II) ions from aqueous solutions by primary and modified cellulose sorbents. SEM spectra indicate changes in the surface structure of the modified sorbents compared to the original one. IR spectra show the appearance of amino- and sulfogroups in short flax fibers in the process of their modification. The research revealed the efficiency of the method and the possibility of its use for the purification of aqueous solutions from heavy metal ions in industrial processes.

First Class of Phosphorus Dendritic Compounds Containing β-Cyclodextrin Units in the Periphery Prepared by CuAAC.

Project description:A new class of phosphorus dendritic compounds (PDCs) having a cyclotriphosphazene (P3N3) core and decorated with six β-cyclodextrin (βCD) units, named P3N3-[O-C6H4-O-(CH2)n-βCD]6, where n = 3 or 4 was designed, and the synthesis was performed using copper (I) catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). To obtain the complete substitution of the P3N3, two linkers consisting of an aromatic ring and an aliphatic chain of two different lengths were assessed. We found that, with both linkers, the total modification of the periphery was achieved. The two new obtained dendritic compounds presented a considerably high water solubility (>1 g/mL). The compounds comprised in this new class of PDCs are potential drug carrier candidates, since the conjugation of the βCD units to the P3N3 core through the primary face will not only serve as surface cover but, also, provide them the faculty to encapsulate various drugs inside the βCDs cavities.

Guest-Mediated Reversal of the Tumbling Process in Phosphorus-Dendritic Compounds Containing β-Cyclodextrin Units: An NMR Study.

Project description:The conformational study of dendritic platforms containing multiple β-cyclodextrin (βCD) units in the periphery is relevant to determine the availability of βCD cavities for the formation of inclusion complexes in aqueous biological systems. In this work, we performed a detailed conformational analysis in D2O, via 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy of a novel class of phosphorus dendritic compounds of the type P3N3-[O-C6H4-O-(CH2)n-βCD]6 (where n = 3 or 4). We unambiguously demonstrated that a functionalized glucopyranose unit of at least one βCD unit undergoes a 360° tumbling process, resulting in a deep inclusion of the spacer that binds the cyclodextrin to the phosphorus core inside the cavity, consequently limiting the availability of the inner cavities. In addition, we confirmed through NMR titrations that this tumbling phenomenon can be reversed for all βCD host units using a high-affinity guest, namely 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (AdCOOH). Our findings have demonstrated that it is possible to create a wide variety of multi-functional dendritic platforms.

Topochemical control of the photodimerization of aromatic compounds by ?-cyclodextrin thioethers in aqueous solution.

Project description:The formation of soluble 1:2 complexes within hydrophilic ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) thioethers allows to perform photodimerizations of aromatic guests under controlled, homogenous reaction conditions. The quantum yields for unsubstituted anthracene, acenaphthylene, and coumarin complexed in these ?-CD thioethers were found to be up to 10 times higher than in the non-complexed state. The configuration of the photoproduct reflected the configuration of the dimeric inclusion complex of the guest. Anti-parallel orientation of acenaphthylene within the CD cavity led to the exclusive formation of the anti photo-dimer in quantitative yield. Parallel orientation of coumarin within the complex of a CD thioether led to the formation of the syn head-to-head dimer. The degree of complexation of coumarin could be increased by employing the salting out effect.

Experimental characterization of the association of β-cyclodextrin and eight novel cyclodextrin derivatives with two guest compounds.

Project description:We investigate the binding of native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and eight novel β-CD derivatives with two different guest compounds, using isothermal calorimetry and 2D NOESY NMR. In all cases, the stoichiometry is 1:1 and binding is exothermic. Overall, modifications at the 3' position of β-CD, which is at the secondary face, weaken binding by several kJ/mol relative to native β-CD, while modifications at the 6' position (primary face) maintain or somewhat reduce the binding affinity. The variations in binding enthalpy are larger than the variations in binding free energy, so entropy-enthalpy compensation is observed. Characterization of the bound conformations with NOESY NMR shows that the polar groups of the guests may be situated at either face, depending on the host molecule, and, in some cases, both orientations are populated. The present results were used in the SAMPL7 blinded prediction challenge whose results are detailed in the same special issue of JCAMD.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Flocculation Studies of β-Cyclodextrin-Based Stimuli-Responsive Star Copolymer: An Environmental Remediation.

Project description:Thermoresponsive star polymers are synthesized by using poly(NIPAM-b-DMA) diblock copolymer and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The synthesis of thermoresponsive diblock copolymer (TRP) is carried out by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer mediated aqueous polymerization using N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and di-methylacrylamide as monomers. Mercaptopropionic acid is used as in situ chain transfer agent (CTA) to synthesize PNIPAM, i.e., macro-CTA. The polymeric materials are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, 1H-NMR, particle size measurement, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. PNIPAM, TRP, and b-CD grafted thermoresponsive diblock copolymer (β-CD-TRP) show lower critical solution temperature at 32.8, 34.3, and 36.8 °C, respectively. TRP and β-CD-TRP are also studied for the removal of model contaminant (kaolin). Among all grades, β-CD-TRP 4 shows the best performance in the removal of kaolin from aqueous solution at 25 and 50 °C.

Core-shell structured nanoassemblies based on ?-cyclodextrin containing block copolymer and poly(?-benzyl L-aspartate) via host-guest complexation.

Project description:Double hydrophilic copolymers (PEG-b-PCDs) with one PEG block and another block containing ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) units were synthesized by macromolecular substitution reaction. Via a dialysis procedure, complex assemblies with a core-shell structure were prepared using PEG-b-PCDs in the presence of a hydrophobic homopolymer poly(?-benzyl L-aspartate) (PBLA). The hydrophobic PBLA resided preferably in the cores of assemblies, while the extending PEG chains acted as the outer shell. Host-guest interaction between ?-CD and hydrophobic benzyl group was found to mediate the formation of the assemblies, where PEG-b-PCD and PBLA served as the host and guest macromolecules, respectively. The particle size of the assemblies could be modulated by the composition of the host PEG-b-PCD copolymer. The molecular weight of the guest polymer also had a significant effect on the size of the assemblies. The assemblies prepared from the host and guest polymer pair were stable during a long-term storage. These assemblies could also be successfully reconstituted after freeze-drying. The assemblies may therefore be used as novel nanocarriers for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs.
