Effective removal of Cu(II) from water by three-dimensional composite microspheres based on chitosan/sodium alginate/silicon dioxide: Adsorption performance and mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134585. [PMID: 39122081 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134585] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is commonly used as an adsorbent for removing Cu(II) from water, but it has drawbacks such as solubility in dilute acid, difficulty in recycling in powder form, and short service life. This study utilized sodium alginate (SA) as a gel carrier to encapsulate CS, combined with silicon dioxide (SiO2) to improve mechanical stability. The preparation of CS/SA/SiO2 (SSC1.0) involved physical blending, CaCl2 cross-linking, and freeze-drying. Characterization methods such as SEM-EDS, FTIR, BET, and XRD were used to analyze the structural composition of SSC1.0. The material exhibited a folded surface, porous internal cross-section, nitrogen/oxygen-containing functional groups, and thermal stability in high temperatures and various aqueous environments. The adsorption performance of SSC1.0 on Cu(II) was evaluated under different conditions, showing a maximum adsorption capacity of 47.50 mg/g. The material maintained a removal rate above 70 % after 5 cycles. SSC1.0 also showed the highest removal rate of Cu(II) when applied to mine wastewater treatment. Adsorption modeling indicated that the process was driven by chemical reactions and was spontaneous and heat-absorbing.'

Bejan A, Marin L. Outstanding Sorption of Copper (II) Ions on Porous Phenothiazine-Imine-Chitosan Materials. Gels 2023; 9:gels9020134. [PMID: 36826303 PMCID: PMC9957313 DOI: 10.3390/gels9020134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the ability of a solid-state material, prepared by crosslinking chitosan with a phenothiazine-based aldehyde, to remove copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions, in a fast and selective manner. The metal uptake experiments, including the retention, sensibility, and selectivity against eight different metal ions, were realized via batch adsorption studies. The capacity of the material to retain copper (II) ions was investigated by spectrophotometric measurements, using poly(ethyleneimine) complexation agent, which allowed detection in a concentration range of 5-500 µM. The forces driving the copper sorption were monitored using various methods, such as FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDAX technique, and optical polarized microscopy, and the adsorption kinetics were assessed by fitting the in vitro sorption data on different mathematical models. The phenothiazine-imine-chitosan material proved high ability to recover copper from aqueous media, reaching a maximum retention capacity of 4.394 g Cu (II)/g adsorbent when using a 0.5 M copper solution, which is an outstanding value compared to other chitosan-based materials reported in the literature to this date. It was concluded that the high ability of the studied xerogel to retain Cu (II) ions was the result of both physio- and chemo-sorption processes. This particular behavior was favored on one hand by the porous nature of the material and on the other hand by the presence of amine, hydroxyl, imine, and amide groups with the role of copper ligands.

Effects of different substrates on the adsorption behavior of supported-adsorbents: A case study of MoS 2 for Ag + adsorption. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:113969. [PMID: 35948151 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Supported-adsorbents growing on the substrate in situ are equipped with the advantages of high adsorption capacity, excellent regeneration performance, and adaptability to complex wastewater. However, the effects of substrate on the adsorption properties of supported-adsorbent are rarely considered, which will hinder its development and scale-up applications. In this study, the influences of different substrates (Ti, Mo, W, CC) on the Ag+ adsorption behavior of supported-MoS2 adsorbents were investigated. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption mechanism, and the renewability of these supported-MoS2 were compared orderly. As a result, MoS2 grown on a tungsten substrate (MoS2-W) exhibits a remarkable adsorption capacity for Ag+ (1.98 mg cm-2 and 598.80 mg g-1), which is 6.38-33 times more than the other three supported-MoS2. Moreover, the MoS2-W also possesses an ultrahigh distribution coefficient (24.80 mL cm-2) for Ag+, and the selection coefficient can reach 1984. XRD and electrochemical characterization analysis indicated that Ag+ adsorption performance of supported-MoS2 is positively correlated with the degree of its amorphous structure. Substrate W with the terrific electrical properties which may facilitate the disordered growth of MoS2, resulting in more active sites exposed, and endow MoS2-W with outstanding Ag+ capture performance. Finally, the supported-MoS2 retains a high removal efficiency of Ag+ after 5 cycles of adsorption and desorption. This study provides a novel perspective for promoting the practical application of supported-sorbents to recycle heavy metals.

Abstract
To address the performance deterioration of ZIF-8 for the adsorption of copper ions caused by powder volume pressure and particle aggregation, we employed multilayer graphene oxide (MGO) as a support to prepare composite adsorbents (MGO@ZIF-8) by using the in situ growth of ZIF-8 on MGO. Due to a good interfacial compatibility and affinity between ZIF-8 and graphene nanosheets, the MGO@ZIF-8 was successfully prepared. The optimal Cu2+ adsorption conditions of MGO@ZIF-8 were obtained through single factor experiments and orthogonal experiments. Surprisingly, the Cu2+ adsorption capacity was significantly improved by the integration of MGO and ZIF-8, and the maximum Cu2+ adsorption capacity of MGO@ZIF-8 reached 431.63 mg/g under the optimal adsorption conditions. Furthermore, the kinetic fitting and isotherm curve fitting confirmed that the adsorption law of Cu2+ by MGO@ZIF-8 was the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, which indicated that the process of Cu2+ adsorption was monolayer chemisorption. This work provides a new approach for designing and constructing ZIF-8 composites, and also offers an efficient means for the removal of heavy metals.

Abstract
Two novel chitosan derivatives were prepared by incorporating salicylhydrazide into chitosan Schiff base (SCsSB) and chitosan (SCs). Two nanocomposites, SCs/TiO2-1% and SCs/TiO2-3%, were also prepared. Their structures were confirmed using elemental analyses, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. Their antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities were arranged as: SCs/TiO2-3% > SCs/TiO2-1% > SCs > SCsSB > chitosan. SCs showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 1.95 μg/mL against A. niger which was comparable with that of Amphotericin B. SCs/TiO2-3% showed higher inhibition against S. epidermidis, S. aureus, S. pyogenes, P. aeruginosa and E. coli than Vancomycin. While, it showed comparable inhibition activity to that of Vancomycin against B. subtilis and P. mirabilis. SCs/TiO2-3% showed MIC values equal 0.48 and 0.98 μg/mL corresponded to 0.98 and 1.95 μg/mL of Amphotericin B against C. albicans, A. fumigatus and A. niger, respectively. SCs/TiO2-3% showed much lower minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) values, ranged between 1.95 and 7.81 μg/mL, than those of SCs, ranged from 62.5 to 125 μg/mL. SCs/TiO2-3% was safe on normal human cells. The modifiers and TiO2 nanoparticles incorporated into chitosan in one structure developed its performance. It is approach for attaining appropriate structures which are good competitors for antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
The threat of the accumulation of heavy metals in wastewater is increasing, due to their abilities to inflict damage to human health, especially in the past decade. The world’s environmental agencies are trying to issue several regulations that allow the management and control of random disposals of heavy metals. Scientific studies have heavily focused on finding suitable materials and techniques for the purification of wastewaters, but most solutions have been rejected due to cost-related issues. Several potential materials for this objective have been found and have been compared to determine the most suitable material for the purification process. Sawdust, among all the materials investigated, shows high potential and very promising results. Sawdust has been shown to have a good structure suitable for water purification processes. Parameters affecting the adsorption mechanism of heavy metals into sawdust have been studied and it has been shown that pH, contact time and several other parameters could play a major role in improving the adsorption process. The adsorption was found to follow the Langmuir or Freundlich isotherm and a pseudo second-order kinetic model, meaning that the type of adsorption was a chemisorption. Sawdust has major advantages to be considered and is one of the most promising materials to solve the wastewater problem.

Abstract
Dyes are known as one of the most dangerous industrial pollutants which can cause skin diseases, allergy, and provoke cancer and mutation in humans. Therefore, one of the important environmental issues is the effective removal of dyes from industrial wastewater. In the current work, BaFe12O19/CoFe2O4@polyethylene glycol (abbreviated as BFO/CFO@PEG) nanocomposite was synthesized and evaluated regarding its capacity for adsorptive removal of a model dye Acid Blue 92 (denoted as AB92) from aqueous solutions. The characteristics of the prepared nanocomposite was determined by tests such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), vibration sample magnetization (VSM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The effects of conditional parameters including pH (2–12), initial concentration of dye (20–100 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.02–0.1 g/L) and contact time (0-180 min) on the adsorption of dye were investigated and then optimized. The results indicated that with the increase of the adsorbent dosage from 0.02 to 0.1 g/L, the removal efficiency increased from 74.1% to 78.6%, and the adsorbed amount decreased from 148.25 to 31.44 mg/g. The maximum removal efficiency (77.54%) and adsorption capacity (31.02 mg/g) were observed at pH 2. Therefore, the general optimization conditions revealed that the maximum adsorption efficiency of dye was obtained in condition of initial concentration of 20 mg/L, contact time of 1 h and pH of solution equal 2. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic data were evaluated using a series of models. The pseudo-second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model show the best fitting with experimental data with R2∼0.999.

Abstract
In this experimental study, the use of 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF) organic compound as a grafting agent to chitosan natural polymer (CS) was examined. One optimized chitosan derivative was synthesized, and then tested (CS-HMF), in order to uptake nickel, mercury, and barium metal ions from single- and triple-component (multi-component) aqueous solutions. The characterization of the material before and after the metal uptake was achieved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ability of the adsorption of CS-HMF was tested at pH = 6. The adjusting of temperature from 25 to 65 °C caused the increase in the adsorption capacity. The equilibrium data were fitted to the models of Langmuir and Freundlich, while the data from kinetic experiments were fitted to pseudo-1st and pseudo-2nd order models. The best fitting was achieved for the Langmuir model (higher R2). The adsorption capacity for nickel, mercury, and barium removal at 25 °C (single component) was 147, 107, and 64 (mg/g), respectively. However, the total adsorption capacity for the multi-component was 204 mg/g. A thermodynamic study was also done, and the values of ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0 were evaluated.

Abstract
Novel hybrid inorganic CoFe2O4/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) polymeric framework nanobeads-type adsorbents with tailored magnetic properties were synthesized by a combination of coprecipitation and flash-cooling technology. Precise self-assembly engineering of their shape and composition combined with deep testing for cadmium removal from wastewater are investigated. The development of a single nanoscale object with controllable composition and spatial arrangement of CoFe2O4 (CF) nanoparticles in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as polymeric matrix, is giving new boosts to treatments of wastewaters containing heavy metals. The magnetic nanobeads were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and vibrational sample magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic properties of CF@CMC sample clearly exhibit ferromagnetic nature. Value of 40.6 emu/g of saturation magnetization would be exploited for magnetic separation from aqueous solution. In the adsorptions experiments the assessment of equilibrium and kinetic parameters were carried out by varying adsorbent dosage, contact time and cadmium ion concentration. The kinetic behavior of adsorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir isotherm was fitted best with maximum capacity uptake of 44.05 mg/g.

Removal of Cu(II) by Fixed-Bed Columns Using Alg-Ch and Alg-ChS Hydrogel Beads: Effect of Operating Conditions on the Mass Transfer Zone. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12102345. [PMID: 33066244 PMCID: PMC7602086 DOI: 10.3390/polym12102345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions at a pH of 5.0 was carried out using fixed-bed columns packed with alginate-chitosan (Alg-Ch) or alginate-chitosan sulfate (Alg-ChS) hydrogel beads. The effect of the initial Cu(II) concentration, flow rate, pH, and height of the column on the amount of Cu removed by the column at the breakpoint and at the exhaustion point is reported. The pH of the solution at the column's exit was initially higher than that at the entrance, and then decreased slowly. This pH increase was attributed to proton transfer from the aqueous solution to the amino and COO- groups of the hydrogel. The effect of operating conditions on the mass transfer zone (MTZ) and the length of the unused bed (HLUB) is reported. At the lower flow rate and lower Cu(II) concentration used, the MTZ was completely developed and the column operated efficiently; by increasing column height, the MTZ has a better opportunity to develop fully. Experimental data were fitted to the fixed-bed Thomas model using a non-linear regression analysis and a good correspondence between experimental and Thomas model curves was observed.
