Magnetic Cr(VI) Ion Imprinted Polymer for the Fast Selective Adsorption of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

In this study, a novel magnetic Cr(VI) ion imprinted polymer (Cr(VI)-MIIP) was successfully synthesized and used as a selective sorbent for the adsorption of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. It can be synthesized through the combination of an imprinting polymer and magnetic nanoparticles. The high selectivity achieved using MIIP is due to the specific recognition cavities for Cr(VI) ions created in Cr(VI)-MIIP. Also, the magnetic properties that could be obtained using magnetic nanoparticles, helps to separate adsorbent with an external magnetic field without either additional centrifugation or filtration procedures. The magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using an improved co-precipitation method and modified with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) before imprinting. The magnetic Cr(VI) ion imprinted polymer was prepared through precipitation copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine as the complexing monomer, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate as a co-monomer, the Cr⁶⁺ anion as a template, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker in the presence of modified magnetite nanoparticles. This novel synthesized sorbent was characterized using different techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluate the adsorption conditions, selectivity, and reusability. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity was 39.3 mg g^?1, which was observed at pH 3 and at 25?°C. The equilibrium time was 20 min, and the amount of adsorbent which gave the maximum adsorption capacity was 1.7 g L^?1. Isotherm studies showed that the adsorption equilibrium data were fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 44.86 mg g^?1. The selectivity studies indicated that the synthesized sorbent had a high single selectivity sorption for the Cr(VI) ions in the presence of competing ions. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process was exothermic (\(\Delta H\)?<?0) and spontaneous (\(\Delta G\)?<?0). In addition, the spent MIIP can be regenerated up to five cycles without a significant decrease in adsorption capacity.

Effective Removing of Remazol Black B by the Polyacrylamide Cryogels Modified with Polyethyleneimine

In this study, modified polyacrylamide (PAAm) cryogels with high dye holding capacity were synthesized with an easily and cheaply process and adsorption of Remazol Black B (RBB) with the synthesized materials was investigated. Firstly, PAAm cryogels were synthesized with free radical cryo-copolymerization method and they were modified with Hofmann reaction to form amine groups in the structure of the cyrogels. Then, to increase the removal efficiency of cryogels, polyethylenimine (PEI) molecules were crosslinked onto the cryogels via NH₂ groups present in the PAAm gels modified by the Hofmann reaction. The original and modified cryogels were characterized with fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The point of zero charge (pH_pzc) of the modified cryogels was found to be 7.13 and RBB removing capabilities of PEI-modified PAAm cryogels were investigated at pH between 2 and 7. In addition, the adsorption treatments were performed at different process time, incubation temperature, initial dye concentration and adsorbent amount to find maximum removal capacity of the adsorbent. The modified cryogels adsorbed maximum amount of RBB at pH 2 and the sorption process reached equilibrium in 6 h. It was observed that the adsorption efficiency did not change much with the increase in temperature. The maximum RBB removal capacity of the modified cyrogels was determined to be 201 mg/g when the initial RBB concentration was 200 mg/L, treatment time was 6 h at pH 2. Moreover, the adsorption of RBB dye with the modified cryogels takes place with a second order kinetic and RBB dye adsorption data showed compliance with the Langmuir isotherm. The findings of the study expose that the obtained PEI-modified PAAm cryogels are a hopeful material for RBB removal in aqueous environment.

Adsorption of Geosmin and MIB on Activated Carbon Fibers–Single and Binary Solute System

The adsorption of two taste- and odor-causing compounds, namely MIB (2-methyl isoborneol—C₁₁H₂₀O) and geosmin (C₁₂H₂₂O) on activated carbon was investigated in this study. The impact of adsorbent pore size distribution on adsorption of MIB and geosmin was evaluated through single solute and multicomponent adsorption of these compounds on three types of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) and one granular activated carbon (GAC). The ACFs (ACC-15, ACC-20, and ACC-25) with different degrees of activation had narrow pore size distributions and specific critical pore diameters whereas the GAC (F-400) had a wider pore size distribution and lesser microporosity. The effect of the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) on MIB and geosmin adsorption was also studied for both the single solute and binary systems. The Myers equation was used to evaluate the single solute isotherms as it converges to Henry’s law at low coverage and also serves as an input for predicting multicomponent adsorption. The single solute adsorption isotherms fit the Myers equation well and pore size distribution significantly influenced adsorption on the ACFs and GAC. The ideal adsorbed solute theory (IAST), which is a well-established thermodynamic model for multicomponent adsorption, was used to predict the binary adsorption of MIB and geosmin. The IAST predicted well the binary adsorption on the ACFs and GAC. Binary adsorption isotherms were also conducted in the presence of oxygen (oxic) and absence of oxygen (anoxic). There were no significant differences in the binary isotherm between the oxic and anoxic conditions, indicating that adsorption was purely through physical adsorption and no oligomerization was taking place. Binary adsorptions for the four adsorbents were also conducted in the presence of humic acid to determine the effect of NOM and to compare with IAST predictions. The presence of NOM interestingly resulted in deviation from IAST behavior in case of two adsorbents, ACC-15 and F-400.     

Adsorption/Desorption of Polyvinyl Alcohol on Solid Substrates and Relevant Biodegradation

The rates and extents of absorption and desorption of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) samples on different solid substrates comprising montmorillonite, quartz sand, and farm soil, as well as humic acid mixture are reported. The uptake of PVA by the substrates was analyzed as a function of PVA hydrolysis (72–98%), molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. Higher adsorption was detected on montmorillonite followed by farm soil, whereas the quartz sand did not display any specific adsorption affinity for the PVA. An increase in the hydrolysis degree of PVA increased the adsorption rate and extent whereas this feature was reversed by an increase in PVA molecular weight. The desorption of PVA samples from the different substrates was performed both under various pH conditions and in the presence of concentrated HF that was used to dissolve the silicon derivatives present in the substrates. Biodegradation experiments carried out in liquid cultures of PVA adsorbed on montmorillonite showed that the mineralization of the adsorbed PVA was much lower than that detected for the nonadsorbed PVA. This investigation suggests that irreversible adsorption of PVA on the clay component occurs in soil, thus substantially inhibiting PVA biodegradation.

Oil adsorbent produced by the carbonization of rice husks

In this study, rice husks considered to be agricultural waste are converted into an adsorbent intended for use in the disposal of oil spills. The raw and refined (defiberized) husks of Japanese Akita Komachi rice were pyrolyzed in a vacuum (500 Pa) at 300-800 degrees C. The amount of A-heavy and B-heavy oils adsorbed on the carbonized rice husk were then evaluated. Oil adsorption is dependent on the type of oil. Rice husks refined and then pyrolyzed at 600-700 degrees C (1.0 g) adsorbed >6.0 g of B-heavy oil and <1.5 g of water, which indicates their usefulness as an adsorbent for oil spill cleanup in Japan. The refining process contributes to an improvement in the oil adsorption capacity, while the carbonization time (at 600 degrees C) has only a minor influence. The residual fluid components in the carbonized rice husks, rather than their porosity, are closely related to oil adsorption capacity.

Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye from Aqueous Solution by Poly(Acrylamide-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-Maleic Acid)/Montmorillonite Nanocomposite

Poly(acrylamide-co-maleic acid)/montmorillonite nanocomposites, were synthesized via in situ polymerization with different maleic acid and MMT content. The capability of the hydrogel for adsorption of crystal violet (CV) was investigated in aqueous solutions at different pH values and temperatures. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model could fit successfully the adsorption kinetic data. The effects of maleic acid to acrylamide molar ratio (MA_R), weight percent of MMT (MMT%), the pH of medium and the solution temperature (T) on the CV adsorption capacity (q _e ) of adsorbents were studied by Taguchi experimental design approach. The results indicated that increasing the MMT% leads to a greater q _e . The q _e value of adsorbents increased also with increasing both MA_R and pH, while reduced when the temperature of medium increased. The relatively optimum conditions to achieve a maximum CV adsorption capacity for P(AAm/MA)/MMT adsorbents were found as: 0.06 for MA_R and 5 % of MMT%, medium pH = 7 and T = 20 °C.

Production of Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s by Pseudomonas putida Cultivated in a Glycerol/Nonanoic Acid-Containing Medium

The biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) by Pseudomonas putida (JCM6160) cultivated in a medium containing glycerol, nonanoic acid, or a glycerol/nonanoic acid mixture as the sole carbon sources was investigated. The PHA content was ~20 % when glycerol was the carbon source. This relatively low content can be attributed to the glycerol end-cap effect and the absence of enzymes that can directly synthesize PHA from acetyl CoA, which is the major metabolite of glycerol. Fatty acids, containing even numbered carbons, are synthesized from acetyl CoA, and they can be used as substrates for PHA synthesis. However, this process also results in decreasing PHA content as fatty acids are siphoned off into other pathways. However, addition of 5 mM nonanoic acid into a 20 mM glycerol-containing medium dramatically increased the PHA content in P. putida, which was 1.3 times larger than the sum of the values found when glycerol and nonanoic acid were each used as the sole carbon source. The PHA, synthesized in the glycerol/nonanoic acid medium, contains 3-hydroxy alkanoate units that have 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 carbons. The units that contain the even numbered carbons are derived from fatty acids that were produced from glycerol; whereas, the PHA units with the odd numbered carbons are derived from nonanoic acid. Pentanoate units were also found in the polyester derived from glycerol and nonanoic acid, and must have been synthesized indirectly via β-oxidation of nonanoic acid with the assistance of glycerol because pentanoate units were not found in PHA when P. putida was cultivated in the presence of only nonanoic acid.
