Synthesis and Application of Starch 3, 5-Dinitrobenzoate

Homogeneous acylation of xylan with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl in ionic liquid and the adsorption property

A new xylan ester (xylan 3,5-dinitrobenzoate) as a creatinine adsorbent was prepared by the homogeneous acylation of xylan with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride in 1-butul-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid. The influences of reaction conditions on the degree of substitution values of xylan esters were discussed. Results indicated that xylan esters with the degree of substitution range from 1.34 to 1.77 were obtained under the given conditions. The FTIR and (13)C NMR spectroscopies provided the evidence of grafting 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl groups onto the backbone of xylan. Moreover, the adsorption properties of the xylan ester for creatinine were also investigated. Isotherm studies showed that the sorption capacities for creatinine were 2.45, 2.08 and 1.86 mg/g for 23, 30 and 37 °C, respectively. Thermodynamic studies performed indicated the sorption process mainly was controlled by the chemical adsorption. Therefore, xylan 3,5-dinitrobenzoate displayed the promising application in the treatment of chronic renal failure by the creatinine adsorption as the new oral adsorbent.
