Novel multifunctional environmentally friendly degradable zeolitic imidazolate frameworks@poly (γ-glutamic acid) hydrogel with efficient dye adsorption function. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129929. [PMID: 38311139 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely developed due to the rich porosity, excellent framework structure and multifunctional nature. Meanwhile, a series of MOFs crystals and MOF-based composites have been emerged. However, the widespread applications of MOFs are hindered by challenges such as rigidity, fragility, solution instability, and processing difficulties. In this study, we addressed these limitations by employing an in-situ green growth approach to prepare a zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8@poly (γ-glutamic acid) hydrogel (ZIF-8@γ-PGA) with hierarchical structures. This innovative method effectively resolves the inherent issues associated with MOFs. Furthermore, the ZIF-8@γ-PGA hydrogel is utilized for dye adsorption, demonstrating an impressive maximum adsorption capacity of 1130 ± 1 mg/g for methylene blue (MB). The adsorption behavior exhibits an excellent agreement with both the kinetic model and isotherm. Meanwhile, because the adsorbent raw materials are all green non-toxic materials, multiple applications of materials can also be realized. Significantly, the results of antibacterial experiments showed that the ZIF-8@γ-PGA hydrogel after in-situ growth of ZIF-8 had better antibacterial properties. Thus, the ZIF-8@γ-PGA hydrogel has great potential for development in wound dressings, sustained drug owing to its biocompatibility and antibacterial activity.

Efficient and rapid adsorption of methylene blue dyes by novel metal-organic frameworks and organic/inorganic hybrid alginate-based dual network gel composites. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127034. [PMID: 37742898 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
To address the limitations of gel-based adsorbents, such as inadequate mechanical strength, low adsorption capacity, and limited reusability, this study presents an innovative approach employing a dual network gel. The dual network consists of calcium alginate (CA) ionic crosslinked organic networks, and vinyl silica-based nanoparticles (VSNP) as crosslinking agents in acrylic acid (AA) free radical polymerization networks (denoted as P (AA-co-VSNP), abbreviated as PAV). After freeze-drying, ultimately yielding an organic/inorganic hybrid dual network gel (referred to as CA/P(AA-co-VSNP), abbreviated as CPAV), enriched with abundant functional groups, thereby enhancing material reusability. To further enhance the adsorption capacity, CPAV undergoes hydrothermal reactions to obtain metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composite dual network gel adsorbent (UiO-66@CPAV). UiO-66@CPAV exhibited a density of 0.165 g/cm3 and showcased a unique pore structure with nested macropores and mesopores, featuring a uniform distribution of pore holes. Notably, the specific surface area was measured at 96.3 m2/g, and an average pore diameter was 17.9 nm. Most impressively, the actual maximum adsorption capacity reached 841.7 mg/g, and even after 10 cycles of use, the adsorption capacity remained 91.9 % of its initial value. Overall, this research introduced a novel methodology for the development of dual network MOFs@gel adsorbents, showcasing promising advancements in the field.

Abstract
Gum-based hydrogels (GBHs) have been widely employed in diverse water purification processes due to their environmental properties, and high absorption capacity. More desired properties of GBHs such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, material cost, simplicity of manufacture, and wide range of uses have converted them into promising materials in water treatment processes. In this review, we explored the application of GBHs to remove pollutants from contaminated waters. Water resources are constantly being contaminated by a variety of harmful effluents such as heavy metals, dyes, and other dangerous substances. A practical way to remove chemical waste from water as a vital component is surface adsorption. Currently, hydrogels, three-dimensional polymeric networks, are quite popular for adsorption. They have more extensive uses in several industries, including biomedicine, water purification, agriculture, sanitary products, and biosensors. This review will help the researcher to understand the research gaps and drawbacks in this field, which will lead to further developments in the future.

Abstract
Water pollution is increasing significantly owing to industrialization and population growth that lead to serious environmental and health issues. Therefore, the design and development of more effective wastewater treatment approaches are necessary due to a significant upsurge in demand for freshwater. More recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention in environmental science owing to their tunable porosity, unique structure, flexibility, and various composition. Despite these attractive advantages, some drawbacks, including intrinsic fragility, unsatisfied processability, dust formation, and poor reusability, have greatly limited their applications. Therefore, MOFs are often designed as supported-based MOFs (e.g., MOFs-coated composites) or 3D structured composites, such as MOFs-based hydrogels. MOFs-based hydrogels are excellent candidates in the sorption process because of their appropriate adsorption capacity, porous structure, good mechanical properties, durability as well as biodegradable features. In this review, the removal of different pollutants (e.g., synthetic dyes, phosphates, heavy metals, antibiotics, and some organic compounds) from aqueous media has been studied by the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels. The important advancements in the fabrication of MOFs-based hydrogels and their capacities in the adsorption of pollutants under experimental conditions have been discussed. Finally, problems and future perspectives on the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels have been investigated.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are incredibly versatile three-dimensional porous materials with a wide range of applications that arise from their well-defined coordination structures, high surface areas and porosities, as well as ease of structural tunability due to diverse compositions achievable. In recent years, following advances in synthetic strategies, development of water-stable MOFs and surface functionalisation techniques, these porous materials have found increasing biomedical applications. In particular, the combination of MOFs with polymeric hydrogels creates a class of new composite materials that marries the high water content, tissue mimicry and biocompatibility of hydrogels with the inherent structural tunability of MOFs in various biomedical contexts. Additionally, the MOF-hydrogel composites can transcend each individual component such as by providing added stimuli-responsiveness, enhancing mechanical properties and improving the release profile of loaded drugs. In this review, we discuss the recent key advances in the design and applications of MOF-hydrogel composite materials. Following a summary of their synthetic methodologies and characterisation, we discuss the state-of-the-art in MOF-hydrogels for biomedical use - cases including drug delivery, sensing, wound treatment and biocatalysis. Through these examples, we aim to demonstrate the immense potential of MOF-hydrogel composites for biomedical applications, whilst inspiring further innovations in this exciting field.

Abstract
Despite water being critical for human survival, its uneven distribution, and exposure to countless sources of pollution make water shortages increasingly urgent. Membrane technology offers an efficient solution for alleviating the water shortage impact. The selectivity and permeability of membranes can be improved by incorporating additives of different nature and size scales. However, with the vast debate about the environmental and economic feasibility of the common nanoscale materials in water treatment applications, we can infer that there is a long way before the first industrial nanocomposite membrane is commercialized. This stumbling block has motivated the scientific community to search for alternative modification routes and/or materials with sustainable features. Herein, we present a pragmatic review merging the concept of sustainability, nanotechnology, and membrane technology through the application of natural additives (e.g., Clays, Arabic Gum, zeolite, lignin, Aquaporin), recycled additives (e.g., Biochar, fly ash), and recycled waste (e.g., Polyethylene Terephthalate, recycled polystyrene) for polymeric membrane synthesis and modification. Imparted features on polymeric membranes, induced by the presence of sustainable natural and waste-based materials, are scrutinized. In addition, the strategies harnessed to eliminate the hurdles associated with the application of these nano and micro size additives for composite membranes modification are elaborated. The expanding research efforts devoted recently to membrane sustainability and the prospects for these materials are discussed. The findings of the investigations reported in this work indicate that the application of natural and waste-based additives for composite membrane fabrication/modification is a nascent research area that deserves the attention of both research and industry.

Abstract
Owing to the inherent properties of aqueous electrolytes, aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered to be a promising energy storage system. Unfortunately, the water-induced issues, such as hydrogen evolution and corrosion reaction, inevitably occur on the Zn anode surface during cycling, which leads to poor electrochemical performance. The gel polymer electrolyte would reduce the parasitic reactions associated with water. However, the nondegradable polymer is harmful to the environment. Herein, with the aim to alleviate the serious issues derived from water and environmental problems, a biodegradable gum arabic has been proposed to serve as a hydrogel electrolyte for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The electrochemical activity of water could be reduced by the hydrogen-bond network between the gum arabic and water. Thus, the corrosion and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can be restrained by employing the prepared gel electrolyte. Evidenced by the online mass spectrometry, it is found that the less produced H2 is detected in the biodegradable gel electrolyte-based Zn||Zn symmetric cell during the processes of Zn plating/stripping, showing the inhibited HER. Moreover, the by-product on the Zn anode is barely observed during cycling when using the obtained gel electrolyte. Uniform zinc-ion distribution can be achieved to mitigate Zn dendrite growth in the gel electrolyte. Therefore, the Zn||Zn symmetric cell based on the gel electrolyte exhibits a long lifespan of more than 1300 h, which is longer than that in the aqueous electrolyte. Moreover, the Zn||LiFePO4 hybrid ion battery based on the gel electrolyte shows improved capacity retention by suppressing the reactions related to water.

Abstract
The development of effective heavy metal adsorbents has always been the goal of environmentalists. Pectin/activated carbon microspheres (P/ACs) were prepared through simple gelation without chemical crosslinking and utilized for adsorption of Pb2+. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the addition of activated carbon increased the porosity of the microsphere. Texture profile analysis showed good mechanical strength of P/ACs compared with original pectin microspheres. Kinetic studies found that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption rate was controlled by film diffusion. Adsorption isotherms were described well by a Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to be 279.33 mg/g. The P/ACs with the highest activated carbon (P/AC2:3) maintained a removal rate over 95.5% after 10 adsorption/desorption cycles. SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum and XPS analysis suggested a potential mechanism of adsorption are ion exchange between Pb2+ and Ca2+, electronic adsorption, formation of complexes, and physical adsorption of P/ACs. All the above results indicated the P/ACs may be a good candidate for the adsorption of Pb2+.

Abstract
In this study, hydrous manganese dioxide (HMO) modified poly(sodium acrylate) (PSA) hydrogel was produced for the first time to remove tetracycline(TC) and lead(Pb(II)) from water. The as-prepared composite was characterized using various techniques, such as SEM-EDS, FTIR, XRD, BET, and XPS, to elucidate the successful loading of HMO and analyze subsequent sorption mechanisms. Different influencing parameters such as adsorbent dose, initial concentration of adsorbates, reaction time, solution pH, and temperature were also investigated. The adsorption kinetic studies of both TC and Pb(II) removal indicated that equilibrium was achieved within 12 h, with respective removal rates of 91.9 and 99.5%, and the corresponding adsorption data were fitted to the second-order kinetics model. According to the adsorption isotherm studies, the sorption data of TC best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model while the adsorption data of Pb(II) were explained by the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of both TC and Pb(II) were found to be 475.8 and 288.7 mg/g, respectively, demonstrating excellent performances of the adsorbent. The uptake capacity of PSA-HMO was significantly influenced by the level of solution pH, in which optimum adsorption amount was realized at pH 4.0 in the TC and Pb(II) systems, respectively. Thermodynamic studies showed the process of TC and Pb(II) adsorptions were endothermic and spontaneous. Overall this study elucidated that PSA-HMO composite can be a promising candidate for antibiotics and heavy metal removal in water treatment applications.

Pereira AGB, Nunes CS, Rubira AF, Muniz EC, Fajardo AR. Effect of chitin nanowhiskers on mechanical and swelling properties of Gum Arabic hydrogels nanocomposites. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 266:118116. [PMID: 34044933 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels based on biopolymers like Gum Arabic (GA) usually show low applicability due to weak mechanical properties. To overcome this issue, (nano)fillers are utilized as reinforcing agents. Here, GA hydrogels were reinforced by chitin nanowhiskers (CtNWs, aspect ratio of 14) isolated from the biopolymer chitin through acid hydrolysis. Firstly, GA was chemically modified with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), which allowed its crosslinking by free radical reactions. Next, hydrogel samples containing different concentrations of CtNWs (0-10 wt%) were prepared and fully characterized. Mechanical characterization revealed that 10 wt% of CtNWs promoted an increase of 44% in the Young's modulus and 96% the rupture force values compared to the pristine hydrogel. Overall, all nanocomposites were stiffer and more resistant to elastic deformation. Due to this feature, the swelling capacity of the nanocomposites decreased. GA hydrogel without CtNWs exhibited a swelling degree of 975%, whereas nanocomposites containing CtNWs exhibited swelling degrees under 725%.

Abstract
Herein, a sodium alginate/poly (acrylic acid)/oxidized-multi-walled carbon nanotubes hydrogel nanocomposite (SA/p(AAc)/o-MWCNTs HNC) was synthesized by in situ free-radical polymerization method. The synthesized SA/p(AAc)/o-MWCNTs HNC was used to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The synthesized HNC was confirmed by employing various characterization techniques. The SA/p(AAc)/o-MWCNTs HNC exhibited a maximum swelling capacity of 2265.4% at pH 8.0. The influence of vital parameters in the sorption process including the initial pH, adsorption dose, contact time and concentration were systematically examined on a batch mode. Subsequently, adsorption kinetics as well as isotherm models were applied to assess the nature and mechanism of the adsorption process. Adsorption kinetics were best described by pseudo-second-order model, while the Langmuir isotherm model governed the adsorption isotherm. The SA/p(AAc)/o-MWCNTs HNC exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 1596.0 mg/g at 25°C. This adsorbent showed excellent MB uptake and good regeneration ability.

Abstract
This study investigates the removal of Pb(II) using polymer matrix membranes, cellulose acetate/vinyl triethoxysilane modified graphene oxide and gum Arabic (GuA) membranes. These complexation-NF membranes were successfully synthesized via dissolution casting method for better transport phenomenon. The varied concentrations of GuA were induced in the polymer matrix membrane. The prepared membranes M-GuA2–M-GuA10 were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscope and bio-fouling studies. Thermal stability of the membranes was determined by thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere. Dead end nanofiltration was carried out to study the perm- selectivity of all the membranes under varied pressure and concentration of Pb(NO3)2. The complexation-NF membrane performances were significantly improved after the addition of GuA in the polymer matrix membrane system. M-GuA8 membrane showed optimum result of permeation flux 8.6 l m−2 h−1. Rejection of Pb(II) ions was observed to be around 97.6% at pH 9 for all the membranes due to electrostatic interaction between CA and Gum Arabic. Moreover, with the passage of time, the rate of adsorption was also increased up to 15.7 mg g−1 until steady state was attained. Gum Arabic modified CA membranes can open up new possibilities in enhancing the permeability, hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties.

Abstract
Growing interests and efforts have been recently focused on design and assembly of novel hydrogel nanosorbents for removal of drugs from wastewater. Therefore, this work is aimed to immobilize and encapsulate starch hydrogel matrix onto metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and dope with nanomagnetite. The magnetic MOFs-Starch hydrogel (NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel) was synthesized via microwave irradiation process and characterized with high surface area (528.39 m2/g), mesoporous with pore size 2.90 nm and highly crystalline structure. The maximum swelling ratio (1000.0 %) was optimized at pH 10, 180 min and 25 °C. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel for adsorptive removal of Fluvastatin statin drug provided maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity 782.05 mg g-1. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second kinetics models were correlated well with the computed correlation coefficient values 0.9991 and 0.9997, respectively. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel for removal of FLV statin drug from real water matrices was confirmed in the range 96.15-99.99 %.
