Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135520. [PMID: 39260643 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
Fluoride ion pollution in water has become a serious threat to the water environment and human health. Adsorption is a promising means of fluoride removal, but it also faces challenges such as the difficult separation and recovery of powdered particles, the leaching of modified coatings from adsorbents, and the structural disintegration of macroscopic adsorbents. For addressing the above challenges, glutaraldehyde/polyvinyl alcohol co-crosslinked ZrSAF/chitosan spongy composites (ZrS/GPCS) were prepared by utilizing encapsulation strategies and cross-linking. ZrS/GPCS-1, ZrS/GPCS-3 and ZrS/GPCS-4 were prepared due to the different amounts of cross-linking agents. The results showed that their fluoride ion adsorption capacities were 42.02, 44.44 and 39.84 mg/g, respectively. The removal of fluoride ions by ZrS/GPCS was maintained at >80 % in the pH range of 4-10. The addition of glutaraldehyde and polyvinyl alcohol affected the contact efficiency of fluoride ions with chitosan and ZrSAF, influencing the adsorption rate and adsorption effect. Glutaraldehyde, polyvinyl alcohol and ZrSAF improved the thermal stability, mechanical properties and structural integrity of chitosan matrix. Both the chitosan matrix and the internal ZrSAF played an important role in fluoride removal, and the removal mechanisms included electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and complexation.

Abstract
Novel biomedical materials provide a new horizon for the diagnosis/treatment of diseases and tissue repair in medical engineering. As the most abundant biomass polymer on earth, cellulose is characterized by natural biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and structure-performance designability. Owing to these outstanding features, cellulose as a biomacromolecule can be designed as functional biomaterials via hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction or chemical modification for human tissue repair, implantable tissue organs, and controlling drug release. Moreover, cellulose can also be used to construct medical sensors for monitoring human physiological signals. In this study, the structural characteristics, functionalization approaches, and advanced biomedical applications of cellulose are reviewed. The current status and application prospects of cellulose and its functional materials for wound dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and electronic skin (e-skin) are discussed. Finally, the key technologies and methods used for designing cellulosic biomaterials and broadening their application prospects in biomedical fields are highlighted.

Abstract
Dye is emissions aggravating aquatic ecosystem pollution, and photocatalysis is considered the most appealing option to remove dyes by degradation. However, the current photocatalysts suffer from agglomeration, large bandgaps, high mass transfer resistance, and high operation cost. Herein, we present a facile hydrothermally induced phase separation and in situ synthesis strategy for fabrication of sodium bismuth sulfide (NaBiS2)-decorated chitosan/cellulose sponges (NaBiCCSs). The NaBiCCSs demonstrate unique polysaccharide cellular structure (150-500 μm), uniformly immobilized NaBiS2 nanoparticles (70-90 nm), narrow bandgap (1.18 eV), high photocurrent (0.74 μA/cm2), and outstanding compressibility. Benefiting from the characteristics and the high affinity to dyes, the NaBiCCSs provide innovative synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic degradation model for dye removal, attaining a superior methylene blue removal rate of 98.38 % under visible light illumination and offering good reusability. This study offers a sustainable technical solution for dye contaminant removal.

Abstract
Using environmentally friendly biomaterials in different aspects of human life has been considered extensively. In this respect, different biomaterials have been identified and different applications have been found for them. Currently, chitosan, the well-known derivative of the second most abundant polysaccharide in the nature (i.e., chitin), has been receiving a lot of attention. This unique biomaterial can be defined as a renewable, high cationic charge density, antibacterial, biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic biomaterial with high compatibility with cellulose structure, where it can be used in different applications. This review takes a deep and comprehensive look at chitosan and its derivative applications in different aspects of papermaking.

Hydrophobization of aerogels based on chitosan, nanocellulose and tannic acid: Improvements on the aerogel features and the adsorption of contaminants in water. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 220:115197.

Abstract
Hydrophobic chitosan aerogels are promising adsorbents for immiscible contaminants such as oils and organic solvents. However, few studies have reported the application of hydrophobic aerogels as adsorbent for organic contaminants dissolved in water. Herein, novel highly hydrophobic chitosan (CS) beads containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and hydrophobized tannic acid (HTA) composite were prepared with different CS and CNC-HTA content to achieve an optimized adsorbent to remove emerging contaminants from water in batch and fixed-bed assays. The CS@CNC-HTA beads properties were assessed by FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS, Micro-CT, WCA, and zeta potential. Supramolecular interactions and physical interlacements between CS and CNC-HTA enabled the formation of CS@CNC-HTA beads with high porosity (98.6%), great volume of open pore space (10.16 mm3) and hydrophobicity (121.8°). The 1:1 CS@CNC-HTA beads showed the best performance for removing the pharmaceutical sildenafil citrate, the basic blue 26 dye, and the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride, reaching adsorption capacities of 86 (73%), 375 (84%), and 390 (90%) mg.g-1, respectively. The 1:1 CS@CNC-HTA beads efficiently removed sildenafil citrate, basic blue 26 and cetylpyridinium chloride in fixed-bed experiments with exhaustion times of 890, 300, and 470 min, respectively. Theoretical calculations and adsorption assays indicate that the main attractive interactions are pyridinium-π, π-π, electrostatic and hydrophobic.

Abstract
Here, we present a detailed review of recent research and achievements in the field of combining two extremely important polysaccharides; namely, cellulose and chitosan. The most important properties of the two polysaccharides are outlined, giving rise to the interest in their combination. We present various structures and forms of composite materials that have been developed recently. Thus, aerogels, hydrogels, films, foams, membranes, fibres, and nanofibres are discussed, alongside the main techniques for their fabrication, such as coextrusion, co-casting, electrospinning, coating, and adsorption. It is shown that the combination of bacterial cellulose with chitosan has recently gained increasing attention. This is particularly attractive, because both are representative of a biopolymer that is biodegradable and friendly to humans and the environment. The rising standard of living and growing environmental awareness are the driving forces for the development of these materials. In this review, we have shown that the field of combining these two extraordinary polysaccharides is an inexhaustible source of ideas and opportunities for the development of advanced functional materials.

Abstract
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) was synthesized and tested for protein adsorption. The prepared polymer was characterized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) to confirm the functionalization of cellulose. This work shows that protein adsorption onto DCMC is charge dependent. The polymer adsorbs positively charged proteins, cytochrome C and lysozyme, with adsorption capacities of 851 and 571 mg g-1, respectively. In both experiments, the adsorption process follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics by DCMC is well described by the pseudo second-order model, and adsorption equilibrium was reached within 90 min. Moreover, DCMC was successfully reused for five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, without compromising the removal efficiency (98-99%).

Abstract
There has been much interest in developing protein adsorbents using nanostructured particles, which can be engineered porous materials with fine control of the surface and pore structures. A significant challenge in designing porous adsorbents is the high percentage of available binding sites in the pores owing to their large surface areas and interconnected pore networks. In this study, continuing the idea of using porous materials derived from natural polymers toward the goal of sustainable development, porous pectin particles are reported. The template-assisted spray drying method using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as a template for pore formation was applied to prepare porous pectin particles. The specific surface area was controlled from 177.0 to 222.3 m2 g-1 by adjusting the CaCO3 concentration. In addition, the effects of a macroporous structure, the specific surface area, and an interconnected pore network on the protein (lysozyme) adsorption capacity and adsorption mechanism were investigated. All porous pectin particles performed rapid adsorption (∼65% total capacity within 5 min) and high adsorption capacity, increasing from 1543 to the highest value of 2621 mg g-1. The results are attributed to the high percentage of available binding sites located in the macropores owing to their large surface areas and interconnected pore networks. The macroporous particles obtained in this study showed a higher adsorption capacity (2621 mg g-1) for lysozyme than other adsorbents. Moreover, the rapid uptake and high performance of this material show its potential as an advanced adsorbent for various macromolecules in the food and pharmaceutical fields.
