Abstract
Numerous pollutants endanger the safety and purity of water, making water pollution a major worldwide concern. The health of people and aquatic ecosystems are at risk from these contaminants, which include hazardous microbes, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff. Fortunately, there appears to be a viable option to address this problem with adsorptive water treatment techniques. The present study presents a magnetic adsorbent (MMIP) based on molecularly imprinted polyaniline and magnetite nanoparticles for the solid-phase extraction of diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory medication, from industrial wastewater. The adsorbent nanomaterial was characterized using dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurement, vibrating sample magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The MMIP demonstrated a particle size of 86.3 nm and an adsorption capacity of 139.7 mg g-1 at 600 mg L-1 of diclofenac and after a 200 min incubation period. The highest %removal was attained at pH range of 3-7. The adsorption process follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model. In addition, it was found that the adsorption process is enthalpy-driven and may occur via hydrogen bonding and/or van der Waals interactions.

[PMID: 38218926 PMCID: PMC10787832 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-51538-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study introduces a new and straightforward method for the amination of Chitosan. This method involves coupling Chitosan (CS) with 2-chloroethylamine (ENH2) in a single step to produce an amino-ethyl Chitosan derivatives with increased amine group content (CS-ENH2) using click chemistry. The resulting derivatives were then crosslinked using Glutaraldehyde to form amino-ethyl Chitosan Schiff bases. The novel amino-ethyl Chitosan Schiff bases were subsequently utilized as adsorbents for the removal of Methyl Orange (MO) dye from aqueous solutions using a batch technique, and the performance of the produced Schiff bases was compared with that of the native Chitosan Schiff base. The CS-ENH2 adsorbents show improved adsorption capacity up to 300% of the native Chitosan Schiff base with almost double removal rate. The adsorption temperature has a positive impact in general while almost 100% of MO removed at 60 °C using CS-ENH2 adsorbents compared with 66% of the native Chitosan Schiff base adsorbent. The adsorption pH shows a negative impact on the MO removal percent. That effect reduced sharply using the CS-ENH2 adsorbents with higher amination degree while the MO removal percent almost being constant over a wide range of pH; 2.0-7.0. The agitation speed has the same positive effect over all the adsorbents. However, the rate of MO removal percent decreased with increase the agitation speed up to 250 rpm. The experimental findings demonstrated that the highest percentage of MO dye removal was achieved under the conditions of pH 2.0, a temperature of 60 °C, agitation speed of 250 rpm, and adsorption duration of 90 min. These Schiff bases were subsequently characterized using advanced analytical techniques including Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Thermal analysis (TGA and DSC), and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

[PMID: 38174277 PMCID: PMC10763660 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra04222g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Water pollution from organic dyes poses a serious danger to the environment. In the present work, we report a novel adsorbent (ADFS) based on azo-dye-functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) for the removal of the anionic dye bromophenol blue (BPB) from contaminated water. The fabricated SPIONs, azo dye, and ADFS adsorbent were characterized with FTIR and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, 1HNMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, SEM imaging, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurements, vibrating sample magnetometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. DLS measurements showed a particle size of 46.1 and 176.5 nm for the SPIONs and the ADFS, respectively. The adsorbent exhibited an adsorption capacity of 7.43 mg g-1 and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model (r2 = 0.9981). The ADFS could efficiently remove BPB from water after stirring for 120 minutes at room temperature and pH 2. The adsorption process was proved to occur via physisorption, as revealed by the Freundlich isotherm (n = 1.82 and KF = 11.5). Thermodynamic studies implied that the adsorption is spontaneous (-8.03 ≤ ΔG ≤ -0.58 kJ mol-1) and enthalpy-driven might take place via van der Waals interactions and/or hydrogen bonding (ΔH = -82.19 kJ mol-1 and ΔS = -0.24 kJ mol-1 K-1).

Abstract
Water contamination is regarded as one of the world's worst tragedies owing to the continual depletion of water resources suitable for drinking and agriculture. Researchers have recently been interested in developing novel and more effective adsorbents for wastewater purification. We report herein a magnetic adsorbent nanomaterial for the removal of the anionic dye bromocresol green (BCG) from wastewater. The adsorbent is based on superparamagnetic iron oxide (cubic Fe3O4) nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with a high-molecular-weight azo dye synthesized via diazo coupling of vitamin B1 with a trisubstituted benzene derivative. The proposed adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometry, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. At room temperature and pH 2.0, the synthesized adsorbent showed an average particle size of 65.9 ± 8.0 nm, a high magnetization saturation (65.58 emu g−1), a high equilibrium adsorption capacity (36.91 mg g−1). Adsorption of BCG was found to take place via a physisorption mechanism and followed a pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is enthalpy driven by hydrogen bonding and/or van der Waals interactions. After treating water samples with the suggested adsorbent, it can be easily removed from water using a strong external magnetic field. An efficient adsorbent based on azo-dye-coated superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles was synthesized for the removal of the anionic dye, bromocresol green, from wastewater.![]()

Abstract
We report a new adsorbent nanocomposite material based on matrix-dispersed superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in molecularly-imprinted polyaniline for the removal of chlorpyrifos (CPF), a hazardous organophosphate pesticide, from water. The synthesized magnetic molecularly-imprinted polymer (MMIP) was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, magnetic susceptibility, DLS, zeta potential measurement, SEM and high-resolution TEM imaging. The average size of the naked SPIONs ranges from 15 to 30 nm according to the high-resolution TEM analysis. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics, thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS), adsorption isotherms and rebinding conditions were investigated in detail. The proposed MMIP has an imprinting factor of 1.64. In addition, it showed a high experimental adsorption capacity of 1.77 mg g−1 and a removal efficiency of nearly 80%. The fabricated MMIP material demonstrated excellent magnetic susceptibility allowing for easy separation using an external magnetic field. The adsorption mechanism of CPF onto the MMIP adsorbent followed the second-order kinetics model and fitted to the Temkin adsorption isotherm. By studying the adsorption thermodynamics, negative ΔG values (−1.955 kJ mol−1 at room temperature) were obtained revealing that the adsorption process is spontaneous. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at room temperature (ca. 303 K), neutral pH and using a high CPF concentration. An efficient magnetic molecularly-imprinted polymer adsorbent for removal of chlorpyrifos organophosphate pesticide from water is reported.![]()

Study on the adsorption properties of methyl orange by natural one-dimensional nano-mineral materials with different structures. Sci Rep 2021; 11:10640. [PMID: 34017049 PMCID: PMC8138017 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90235-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Methyl orange (MO) is a common anionic azo dye that is harmful to the environment and biology, so it must be treated innocuously before it can be discharged. Adsorption is an effective method to remove anionic dyes. Nanotube mineral is a natural one-dimensional adsorption material, and its unique morphology and structure endow it with good adsorption capacity. Although there are many related studies, there is a lack of in-depth discussions on the influence of nanotube's composition and structure on the adsorption of dyes and other pollutants. In this paper, two kinds of natural one-dimensional silicate minerals [halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and chrysotile nanotubes (ChNTs)] with similar morphology but slightly different compositions and crystal structures were used as adsorbents, and MO solution was used as simulate pollutants. It is the first time to discuss in depth the influence of the composition and structure of nanotube minerals on their charge properties and the adsorption performance of methyl orange dyes. It is found that HNTs and ChNTs have different adsorption capacity due to the difference of electronegativity between Al3+ and Mg2+ in the crystal, so they possess negative and positive charges respectively in near-neutral solution, which leads to the adsorption capacity of MO by ChNTs with positive charges which is greater than that of HNTs.
