碱量法测定壳聚糖脱乙酰度的研究

碱量法(包括酸碱滴定法和电位滴定法)是目前测定壳聚糖脱乙酰度较为常用的方法,其原理是用过量的稀酸与一定量的待测壳聚糖反应,然后用标准NaOH溶液滴定过量的酸来测量壳聚糖中自由氨基的量,从而计算壳聚糖的脱乙酰度(DD值)。计算脱乙酰度的公式多用:DD=(-NH2)%/0.094×100%(公式一)。而另外一个碱量法中未用过的脱乙酰度计算公式为:DD=[203n/(G 42n)]×100%(公式二),本文用计算公式一和公式二分别计算在酸碱滴定法和双突跃电位滴定法中壳聚糖的脱乙酰度,结果表明:在酸碱滴定法中,用公式一的计算的结果准确度更高,而在双突跃电位滴定法中用公式二计算的结果准确度更高。

Preparation of graphene oxide–chitosan composite and adsorption performance for uranium

The composite adsorbent graphene oxide–chitosan was prepared using graphite and chitosan as the initial materials. The structures and morphology of the products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy. The products were used to remove uranium from aqueous solution by batch adsorption experiments. The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial uranium concentration and temperature on the uranium removal were investigated, and the results were fitted by the adsorption isotherm models. The adsorption kinetic and thermodynamic were also studied in detail.     

Adsorption behavior of uranium(VI) and other ionic species on cross-linked chitosan resins modified with chelating moieties

Cross-linked chitosan resins with catechol (catechol-type chitosan, type 1 and type 2), iminodiacetic acid (IDA-type chitosan), iminodimetylphosphonic acid (IDP-type chitosan), phenylarsonic acid (phenylarsonic acid-type chitosan), or serine (serine-type chitosan) were prepared for the collection and concentration of uranium(VI). The adsorption behavior of U(VI) and other ionic species, such as metal ions and oxo-acid ions, on the cross-linked chitosan (base material) and chitosan resins modified with chelating moieties was examined using a column procedure. Especially, the catechol-type chitosan (type 2) adsorbed U(VI) at pH 2-7, and selectively collected U(VI) at acidic pH regions by forming a stable chelate with hydroxyl groups of catechol moiety introduced to the chitosan. Also, the adsorption properties of cationic and anionic species present in aquatic media were elucidated. The adsorption ability for U(VI) was in the order: catechol-type chitosan (type 2) > serine-type chitosan > phenylarsonic acid-type chitosan > the others. The catechol-type chitosan (type 2) was useful for the collection and concentration of uranium(VI).     

Functionalization of chitosan with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid for the adsorption/collection of uranium in water samples and its determination by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry

A chitosan resin derivatized with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid moiety (CCTS-DHBA resin) was newly synthesized for the collection/concentration of trace uranium by using cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) as base material, and the adsorption behavior of uranium as well as 60 elements on the resin was examined by passing the sample solutions through a mini-column packed with the resin. After the elution of the collected elements on the resin with 1 M HNO₃, the eluates were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).The CCTS-DHBA resin can adsorb several metal cations and several oxoanionic elements at appropriate pH. Among these metal ions, uranium shows an excellent adsorption behavior on this resin. Uranium as UO₂²⁺ species can be adsorbed on the resin by chelating mechanism with adsorption capacity of 330 mg g⁻¹ resin. Through the column treatment, the complete removal of large amounts of alkali and alkaline earth matrices without any loss of adsorption efficiency over prolonged usage were achieved with this resin.The CCTS-DHBA resin was applied to the adsorption/collection of uranium in tap water, river water and seawater samples with satisfactory results. The validation of the proposed method was carried out by analyzing uranium in the standard reference materials of SLRS-4, CASS-4, and NASS-5 after passing through the CCTS-DHBA resin, and the results showed good agreement with the certified values.     

Adsorption of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution by diethylenetriamine-functionalized magnetic chitosan

In this paper, the modified magnetic chitosan resin containing diethylenetriamine functional groups (DETA-MCS) was used for the adsorption of uranium ions from aqueous solutions. The influence of experimental conditions such as contact time, pH value and initial uranium(VI) concentration was studied. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Dubinin–Radushkevich equations were used to check the fitting of adsorption data to the equilibrium isotherm. The best fit for U(VI) was obtained with the Sips model. Adsorption kinetics data were tested using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating that the chemical adsorption was the rate-limiting step. The present results suggest that DETA-MCS is an adsorbent for the efficient removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution.     

Biosorption studies of uranium (VI) on cross-linked chitosan: isotherm,kinetic and thermodynamic aspects

The cross-linked chitosan (CS) gels synthesized by using glutaraldehyde (GLA), epichlorohydrin (EC), and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) as cross-linkers respectively were used to investigate the adsorption of U(VI) ions in an aqueous solution. The pure chitosan (PCS) and the cross-linked chitosan gels were characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. The kinetic, thermodynamic adsorption and adsorption isotherms of U(VI) ions onto unmodified and modified cross-linked chitosan were studied in a batch adsorption experiments. The effect of pH, contact time and temperature on the adsorption capacity were also carried out. At the optimum pH, the maximum adsorbed amount of PCS, GLACS, ECCS and EGDECS were 483.05, 147.05, 344.83 and 67.56 mg/g, respectively. The uranium (VI) adsorption process of PCS and ECCS followed better with pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while GLACS and EGDECS followed pseudo-first-order kinetic model well. The results obtained from the equilibrium isotherms adsorption studied of U(VI) ions were analyzed in two adsorption models, namely, Langmuir and Freundlich isothms models, the results showed that the Langmuir isotherm had better conformity to the equilibrium data. The thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (ΔHo), entropy (ΔSo), and Gibbs free energy (ΔGo) showed that the adsorption process was both spontaneous and endothermic.     

Influence of the deacetylation degree on chitosan emulsification properties

The emulsification of sunflower oil by chitosan solutions with deacetylation degrees (DD) between 73 and 95% was studied using different techniques. The droplet size distributions, conductivity, ageing behavior and viscosity of emulsions were studied as functions of the chitosan DD. All DD gave stable polydisperse water-in-oil-in-water emulsions with different viscosities. Two optimum DD values were found, 81 and 88%, giving complete emulsification without residual oil or sedimentation. Chitosans with intermediate DD were less effective emulsifiers. Chitosans with higher DD gave poor emulsification. Received: 11 January 1999 Accepted in revised form: 31 May 1999     

Uranium adsorption from a liquid waste using thermally and chemically modified bentonite

In this work, uranium adsorption from aqueous (waste) solution onto thermal and chemical modified bentonite (TCMB) has been studied. The relevant factors affecting uranium adsorption onto our TCMB adsorbent were studied. These factors involved contact time, initial uranium concentrations, pH, adsorption temperature, foreign ion and the effect adsorbent (TCMB) amount using synthetic solution. The theoretical capacity of TCMB adsorbent is about 29 mg/g TCMB. The optimum adsorption conditions were choiced. Uranium elution from the loaded TCMB adsorbent has been carried out using CH₃COONa as an effective eluent. Uranium adsorption from Gattar liquid waste by TCMB adsorbent was carried out in columns. The low uranium adsorption efficiency (37.5 % of the theoretical capacity of TCMB) may be due to the adsorption competition between uranium and difference foreign ion present in the solution (as iron). More than 92 % of the loaded uranium amount on the TCMB adsorbent has been eluted using CH₃COONa as an efficient eluent.     

Improving Shelf-life of Cavendish Banana Using Chitosan Edible Coating

Chitosan has been widely used as an edible coating for extending the shelf life of fruit. In this research, chitosan was applied to Cavendish banana. The effect of different degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan (70%, 80%) in various chitosan concentration (1, 1.5, 2% w/w) in solution on weight loss and vitamin C loss were investigated. The effect of the presence of emulsifier triethanolamine (TEA) was also examined. Sensory analyses were conducted to monitor the changes in color, texture, and aroma. The results showed that coated banana fruit demonstrated delayed ripening processes compared to the uncoated banana. This also confirmed by the reduction in weight loss as well as in vitamin C loss in comparison to the uncoated banana. Weight loss and vitamin C loss decreased with increasing chitosan concentration and degree of deacetylation of chitosan. The addition of TEA emulsifier was not significantly influence the weight loss and vitamin C loss. In summary, 2% (w/w) chitosan with DD of 80% was proved to be the most suitable coating among the others for reducing the weight loss and vitamin C loss. loss, and desirable sensory analysis.     

Effect of Degree of Deacetylation of Chitosan/Chitin on Human Neural Stem Cell Culture

Stem cell therapy and research for neural diseases depends on reliable reproduction of neural stem cells. Chitosan-based materials have been proposed as a substrate for culturing human neural stem cells (hNSCs) in the pursuit of clinically compatible culture conditions that are chemically defined and compliant with good manufacturing practices. The physical and biochemical properties of chitosan and chitin are strongly regulated by the degree of deacetylation (DD). However, the effect of DD on hNSC behavior has not been systematically investigated. In this study, films with DD ranging from 93% to 14% are fabricated with chitosan and chitin. Under xeno-free conditions, hNSCs proliferate preferentially on films with a higher DD, exhibiting adherent morphology and retaining multipotency. Lowering the DD leads to formation of neural stem cell spheroids due to unsteady adhesion. The neural spheroids present NSC multipotency protein expression reduction and cytoplasmic translocation. This study provides an insight into the influence of the DD on hNSCs behavior and may serve as a guideline for hNSC research using chitosan-based biomaterials. It demonstrates the capability of controlling hNSC fate by simply tailoring the DD of chitosan.     

Synthesis of chitosan resin possessing a phenylarsonic acid moiety for collection/concentration of uranium and its determination by ICP-AES

A chitosan resin possessing a phenylarsonic acid moiety (phenylarsonic acid type chitosan resin) was developed for the collection and concentration of trace uranium prior to inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectrometry (AES) measurement. The adsorption behavior of 52 elements was systematically examined by packing it in a minicolumn and measuring the elements in the effluent by ICP mass spectrometry. The resin could adsorb several cationic species by a chelating mechanism, and several oxo acids, such as Ti(IV), V(V), Mo(VI), and W(VI), by an anion-exchange mechanism and/or a chelating mechanism. Especially, U(VI) could be adsorbed almost 100% over a wide pH region from pH 4 to 8. Uranium adsorbed was easily eluted with 1 M nitric acid (10 mL), and the 25-fold preconcentration of uranium was achieved by using a proposed column procedure, which could be applied to the determination of trace uranium in seawater by ICP-AES. The limit of detection was 0.1 ng mL⁻¹ for measurement by ICP-AES coupled with 25-fold column preconcentration.
