Selective removal of caffeine from tea extracts using macroporous crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol adsorbents

The hydrolysis reaction of ester groups in vinyl acetate (VAc) was used to introduce hydroxyl groups into the matrix of a macroporous adsorbent, which was itself prepared by free radical suspension copolymerization of triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) and VAc. Therefore, the copolymerization incompatibility between the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic monomer was overcome successfully and the hydrophobic matrix of the polymeric adsorbent containing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) segment was obtained. Introduction of the PVA segment decreased the hydrophobic adsorption affinity of the adsorbent while producing the hydrogen-bonding interaction. When isolating the two active components, polyphenols (TPh) and caffeine (CAF), from green tea extracts, this polymeric adsorbent, namely poly(TAIC-co-VA), exhibited good adsorption selectivity towards TPh over CAF. The adsorption mechanism leading to this selectivity involved a hydrophobic interaction mechanism for CAF and multiple weak hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions for TPh. The adsorption thermodynamics for TPh on poly(TAIC-co-VA) were studied. The effects of adsorbent structure and gradient desorption conditions on isolation were investigated. The result showed that adsorbent, with 20% TAIC content, was able to efficiently remove CAF from different tea extracts with different ratios of TPh and CAF. Finally, almost no CAF was detected in the TPh fraction and the recovery of TPh was greater than 95%.

Separation properties of saccharides on a hydrophilic stationary phase having hydration layer formed zwitterionic copolymer

A novel water-holding adsorbent bonded with a zwitterionic polymer, diallylamine–maleic acid copolymer, was developed. With this adsorbent, hydrophilic solutes are partitioned by a hydration layer that forms on the zwitterions, as a main separating force. When the adsorbent was used to separate saccharides by normal-phase partition chromatography, the saccharides eluted in the order, mono-, di- and trisaccharide. The elution profile for mono- and di-saccharides was similar but not identical to that on anion exchange columns. This indicated that the adsorbent exhibited a complex retention behavior by the existence of both anion and cation exchange moieties in the functional polymer. Selecting Na⁺ as a counter-ion of the maleate moiety enhanced the retention of saccharide. When used in an high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system with gradient elution, the adsorbent enabled the simultaneous analysis of mono-, di- and oligosaccharides.     

Itaconic copolymer modified loess for high-efficiently removing copper ions from wastewater

Using Loess of clay (LC) which is low-cost, highly hydrophilic and small granule materials, biocompatible itaconic acid (IA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) as functional monomers, a novel biocompatible polymer composite adsorbent (LC/PIHN) was prepared by in-situ copolymerization. It was applied to remove copper ions from wastewater, and the mechanism of adsorption was investigated. It showed that the Cu(II) removal was more than 99.8% at room temperature. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of LC/PIHN fit the pseudo-second-order model and the Freundlich model, respectively. In summary, LC/PIHN is a kind of biocompatible, low-cost and excellent polymer composite adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Separation of flavonoid and alkaloid using collagen fiber adsorbent

Flavonoids and alkaloids are two major classes of plant compounds with biological activities, and they usually coexist in many medicinal herbs. In this study, a novel collagen fiber adsorbent (CFA) was prepared, and its application for adsorption chromatography separation of flavonoids and alkaloids was systematically investigated. The typical flavonoids, rutin and baicalin, and the typical alkaloids, matrine and caffeine, were selected as probe molecules for the investigations. The batch adsorption behaviors of these compounds on CFA in different solvents indicated that hydrogen bond plays a predominant role for the adsorption of flavonoid and alkaloid in pure ethanol, while the hydrophobic interaction plays a predominant role for the adsorption in water. In column chromatography separation, flavonoids were completely separated from alkaloids by a stepwise elution process with pure ethanol followed by aqueous ethanol solution. The two flavonoids, rutin and baicalin, were also well separated although the two alkaloids, matrine and caffeine, were washed out together. The optimal loading volume of sample solution (10 mg/mL) for the separation was determined as 0.66 mL/g CFA. Under these conditions, flavonoid and alkaloid were effectively separated with a recovery higher than 90% in 8 times repeated applications.
