Adsorption of organic molecules on silica surface

The adsorption behaviour of various organic adsorbates on silica surface is reviewed. Most of the structural information on silica is obtained from IR spectral data and from the characteristics of water present at the silica surface. Silica surface is generally embedded with hydroxy groups and ethereal linkages, and hence considered to have a negative charged surface prone to adsorption of electron deficient species. Adsorption isotherms of the adsorbates delineate the nature of binding of the adsorbate with silica. Aromatic compounds are found to involve the pi-cloud in hydrogen bonding with silanol OH group during adsorption. Cationic and nonionic surfactants adsorb on silica surface involving hydrogen bonding. Sometimes, a polar part of the surfactants also contributes to the adsorption process. Styryl pyridinium dyes are found to anchor on silica surface in flat-on position. On modification of the silica by treating with alkali, the adsorption behaviour of cationic surfactant or polyethylene glycol changes due to change in the characteristics of silica or modified silica surface. In case of PEG-modified silica, adsolubilization of the adsorbate is observed. By using a modified adsorption equation, hemimicellization is proposed for these dyes. Adsorptions of some natural macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids are investigated to study the hydrophobic and hydrophilic binding sites of silica. Artificial macromolecules like synthetic polymers are found to be adsorbed on silica surface due to the interaction of the multifunctional groups of the polymers with silanols. Preferential adsorption of polar adsorbates is observed in case of adsorbate mixtures. When surfactant mixtures are considered to study competitive adsorption on silica surface, critical micelle concentration of individual surfactant also contributes to the adsorption isotherm. The structural study of adsorbed surface and the thermodynamics of adsorption are given some importance in this review.     

Adsorption of codeine on hydrophilic silica and silica surface modified by hydrophobic groups in the presence of electrolytes

The adsorption of codeine from aqueous solution onto colloidal silica and silica surface-modified with chemiadsorbed octadecyl dimethyl silane (ODDMS) or dimethyl silane (DMS) groups was studied in the presence of neutral electrolytes at different pH values. From codeine-hydrochloride solutions codeine cations are strongly bound to negatively charged silica surfaces. Inorganic salts (NaCl, NaNO₃) reduce the adsorption of the organic cation. On silica modified by ODDMS (10% of surface silanol groups are occupied), codeine cations are adsorbed to a higher extent at pH 6, while at pH 8 the adsorbed amounts are lower than on the bare silica surface. Neutral electrolytes reduce codeine adsorption on the ODDMS modified silica. On the hydrophobic silica, completely covered by DMS groups, codeine adsorption is considerably lower than on the bare silica, but neutral salts increase the adsorption. The adsorption of codeine is compared with the adsorption of aggregating surfactant ions. Common and different features of their interactions with silica surfaces are outlined.     

Microcalorimetric Study of Methanol Adsorption on Initial Silica and Silica Modified with Polyfluoroalkyl Groups

The adsorption of methanol on initial silica and modified silica samples containing large mesopores is studied by the adsorption–calorimetric method. The grafted tridecylfluoroalkyl groups have a tilted orientation on the silica and physically screen the part of the surface OH groups that have not been involved in the reaction with a modifier. Adsorbed methanol makes the modifying layer looser, thus facilitating the accessibility of methanol molecules to these hydrophilic adsorption sites. Concentrations of OH groups involved in the chemical interaction with molecules of the modifier, OH groups physically screened by its organofluoric radicals, and OH groups located on the surface areas free of the modifier are quantitatively estimated. An additional silanization of the modified silica leads to coverage of silica surface areas that are free of organofluoric modifier with trimethylsilyl radicals. The heat of interaction between the methanol molecules and silica surface hydroxyl groups is determined; it is equal to 60 kJ/mol. The structure of the modifying organofluoric layer and changes in this structure that resulted from additional silanization of the surface and from the methanol adsorption are discussed.

Separation Mechanism of Copolymers from Styrene and Methyl Methacrylate According to Composition by Liquid Adsorption Chromatography

Abstract

Silica gel and a mixture of chloroform and ethanol were used as the stationary and the mobile phases, respectively. At the isocratic elution mode, the copolymers tended to adsorb on the column with increasing MMA content in the copolymers, with increasing column temperature, and with decreasing ethanol content in the mobile phase. The copolymers appeared always at the position proportional to the interstitial volume in the column, otherwise they adsorbed on the column. The equilibrium distribution of the copolymers between the mobile phase and the stationary phase cannot be considered in this system. Hydrogen bonding of carbonyl groups in MMA units of the copolymers to silanol groups on the surface of silica gel was considered to be the main interaction between the copolymers and the adsorbent. The hydrogen bonding increases with increasing the number of carbonyl groups per unit surface of copolymer coil in solution and with increasing free silanol groups on the silica surface. Ethanol in the stationary phase controls the content of the free silanol groups on the surface and is controlled by the content of ethanol in the mobile phase in addition to column temperature. This phenomena can be explained by introducing the term of the adsorption energy of a copolymer segment with the silica surface. The adsorption energy is proportional to the strength of the hydrogen bonding. Above the critical adsorption energy which is defined to be equal to the dissolution energy of the copolymer to the mobile pahse, the copolymers adsorb on the surface of silica gel and the desorption of the copolymers advances when the adsorption energy approaches to the critical adsorption energy. No adsorption of the copolymers is possible when the adsorption energy is equal or below the critical adsorption energy.     

The Thermal Stability and Adsorbability of the Mechylated Silica Gel

The methylated silica gel has been produced by the reaction between the surface silanol groups and Clsi(CH3)3 vapor.The adsorption isotherms of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloride onto silica gel and emthylated silica gel heated at various temperatures have been determined at 25℃,and the above mentioned silica gels have been studied by TC and IR.The results indicate:(1) The adsorption of acetic acid from carbon tetrachloried onto methylated silica gel decreased greatly,probably because the concentration of the free hydroxyl groups for methylated silica gel decreased greatly as the IR shows.(2) As the methylated surface was destroyed at 450℃,the adsorption ability was restored when the methylated silica gel treated at>500℃.(3) So long as the methylated silica gel was treated at high temperature,the adsorption ability could be restored owing to that surface free hydroxyl groups were reproduced.

One-pot preparation of silica-supported hybrid immobilized metal affinity adsorbent with macroporous surface based on surface imprinting coating technique combined with polysaccharide incorporated sol--gel process

A simple and reliable one-pot approach using surface imprinting coating technique combined with polysaccharide incorporated sol-gel process was established to synthesize a new organic-inorganic hybrid matrix possessing macroporous surface and functional ligand. Using mesoporous silica gel being a support, immobilized metal affinity adsorbent with a macroporous shell/mesoporous core structure was obtained after metal ion loading. In the prepared matrix, covalently bonded coating and morphology manipulation on silica gel was achieved by using one-pot sol-gel process starting from an inorganic precursor, -glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysiloxane (GPTMS), and a functional biopolymer, chitosan (CS) at the atmosphere of imprinting polyethylene glycol (PEG). Self-hydrolysis of GPTMS, self-condensation, and co-condensation of silanol groups (Si-OH) from siloxane and silica gel surface, and in situ covalent cross-linking of CS created an orderly coating on silica gel surface. PEG extraction using hot ammonium hydroxide solution gave a chemically and mechanically stabilized pore structure and deactivated residual epoxy groups. The prepared matrix was characterized by using X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The matrix possessed a high capacity for copper ion loading. Protein adsorption performance of the new immobilized metal affinity adsorbent was evaluated by batch adsorption and column chromatographic experiment using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a simple model protein. Under the optimized coating conditions, the obtained macroporous surface resulted in a fast kinetics and high capability for protein adsorption, while the matrix non-charged with metal ions offered a low non-specific adsorption.     

Energetics of protein adsorption on amine-functionalized mesostructured cellular foam silica

The energetics of lysozyme adsorption on aminopropyl-grafted MCF silica (MCF-NH2) are compared to the trends observed during lysozyme adsorption on native MCF silica using flow microcalorimetry (FMC). Surface modification on MCF silica affects adsorption energetics significantly. All thermograms consist of two initial exothermic peaks and one later endothermic peak, but the heat signal trends of MCF-NH2 are opposite from those observed for adsorption onto native MCF silica in salt solutions of sodium acetate and sodium sulfate. At low ionic strength (0.01 M), LYS adsorption onto MCF-NH2 was accompanied by a large exotherm followed by a desorption endotherm. With increasing ionic strength (0.1 and 3.01 M), the magnitude of the thermal signal decreased and the total process became less exothermic. Also a higher protein loading of 14 μmol g(-1) was obtained at low ionic strength in batch adsorption isotherm measurements. Taken together, the FMC thermograms and batch adsorption isotherms reveal that MCF-NH2 has the nature of an ion exchange adsorbent, even though lysozyme and the aminopropyl ligands have like net charges at the adsorption pH. Reduced electrostatic interaction, reduced Debye length, and increased adsorption-site competition attenuate exothermicity at higher ionic strengths. Thermograms from flow microcalorimetry (FMC) give rich insight into the mechanisms of protein adsorption. A two-step adsorption mechanism is proposed in which negatively charged surface amino acid side chains on the lysozyme surface make an initial attachment to surface aminopropyl ligands by electrostatic interaction (low ionic strength) or van der Waals interaction (high ionic strength). Secondary attachments take place between protruding amino acid side chains and silanol groups on the silica surface. The reduced secondary adsorption heat is attributed to the inhibitory effect of the enhanced steric barrier of aminopropyl group on MCF silica.     

聚乙二醇、聚丙二醇和环氧乙烷-环氧丙烷嵌段共聚物在固-液界面上的吸附 III:硅烷化活性炭/水和甲基化硅胶/水界面

测定了25℃时硅烷化不同时间(1至30天)的活性炭及甲基化硅胶自水溶液中吸附四种聚乙二醇(PEG)、三种聚丙二醇(PPG)和环氧乙烷(EO)-环氧丙烷(PO)嵌段共聚物pluronic-L64的等温线。结果表明, 在各活性炭样品上的等温线均为Langmuir型的; 同一炭样对不同PEG的极限吸附量(g·g^-^1)与分子量无关; 极限吸附时每个PEG分子所占面积(A)与分子中所含EO数(nEO)间有直线关系, 直线的斜率与硅烷化时间有关, 这一结果可用硅烷化时间延长时吸附分子的EO基可能以其氧原子向水, 碳氢链节靠近固体表面取向的模型解释。根据PPG的极限吸附量与分子量有关和极限吸附时的分子面积推断PPG分子不是以平躺方式吸附。甲基化硅胶对PEG的吸附量极小, 对PPG的吸附量随分子量减小急剧降低, 而对L64的吸附量明显大于在亲水硅胶上的。文中对所得结果给出了初步的解释。     

Interaction of Globular Albumins with the Silica Surface

Bovine serum albumin macromolecules interact with vicinal hydroxyl groups of the silica surface at carbonyl groups and with isolated surface hydroxyl groups at the imide groups. Geminal surface hydroxyl groups behave as single adsorption sites relative to albumin adsorption. The concentration of such groups on a quartz surface was evaluated. The secondary structure of globular albumins is altered as the result of interaction in the silica–globular albumin system. Extended -segments appear on the surface and the concentration of -spirals decreases. This alteration leads to change in the tertiary globular structure of the albumin. The adsorption of albumin macromolecules on the silica surface is inclined.     

The effect of solvent nature on the adsorption interaction between cinnamic acid and silicon dioxide

It is established that the adsorbability of cinnamic acid from solutions on the surface of highly dispersed silica decreases with an increase in the polarity and electron-donor ability of a solvent. The adsorption process is considerably affected by the hydrophobization of the surface. The adsorption curve passes through a maximum when methyl groups are substituted for 40–55% of the total number of hydroxyls on the silica surface. Probable structures of adsorption complexes are suggested.__________Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 67, No. 2, 2005, pp. 201–205.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Pogorelyi, Barvinchenko, Pakhlov, Smirnova.     

Adsorption of poly(vinyl formamide-co-vinyl amine) onto silica particle surfaces and stability of the formed hybrid materials

In order to produce silica/polyelectrolyte hybrid materials the adsorption of the polyelectrolyte poly(vinyl formamide-co-vinyl amine), P(VFA-co-VAm) was investigated. The adsorption of the P(VFA-co-VAm) from an aqueous solution onto silica surface is strongly influenced by the pH value and ionic strength of the aqueous solution, as well as the concentration of polyelectrolyte. The adsorption of the positively charged P(VFA-co-VAm) molecules on the negatively charged silica particles offers a way to control the surface charge properties of the formed hybrid material. Changes in surface charges during the polyelectrolyte adsorption were studied by potentiometric titration and electrokinetic measurements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to obtain information about the amount of the adsorbed polyelectrolyte and its chemical structure. The stability of the adsorbed P(VFA-co-VAm) was investigated by extraction experiments and streaming potential measurements. It was shown, that polyelectrolyte layer is instable in an acidic environment. At a low pH value a high number of amino groups are protonated that increases the solubility of the polyelectrolyte chains. The solvatation process is able to overcompensate the attractive electrostatic forces fixing the polyelectrolyte molecules on the substrate material surface. Hence, the polyelectrolyte layer partially undergoes dissolving process.

The influence of the structure of the surface of functional organosilicas on the adsorption of cholic acid

High-dispersity silica was modified by functional groups capable of protonating or carrying a constant positive charge. IR and UV spectroscopy, temperature-programmed thermogravimetry, pH metry, and quantitative analysis of grafted compounds were used to determine the structure of the surface of functional organosilicas. The adsorption of primary bile (cholic) acid on silica adsorbents and cholestiramine was studied. The adsorption of cholic acid from solutions with pH 2–8 was substantially higher on adsorbents with positively charged surfaces. The silica adsorbents synthesized were shown to have higher cholic acid adsorption parameters compared with adsorbents used in medicine.     

Characterization of ESR active species on lithium chloride-modified mesoporous silica

The surface of mesoporous silica with regular nanometer-sized pores and high surface area has been modified by metal ions or functional groups to introduce specific interactions. We found that ESR active species were formed on lithium chloride (LiCl)-modified mesoporous silica after heat treatment. The structure and the surface properties of LiCl-modified mesoporous silica were characterized by XRD, ESR, nitrogen adsorption, UV-vis-NIR, and TPD. The results suggest that the ESR active species were generated on the surface in response to heat treatment above 673 K. Moreover, it was found for the first time that LiCl-modified mesoporous silica after the heat treatment has reversible adsorption properties for hydrogen under room temperature and atmospheric pressure.     

Interaction between Globular Proteins and Silica Surfaces

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin on silica of three different types, i.e., aerosil, macroporous silica gel, and ground natural quartz, was studied. The IR spectra of this protein adsorbed on aerosil were measured and analyzed. It was shown that the carbonyl groups of albumin macromolecules interact with vicinal hydroxyl groups while imido groups, with individual hydroxyl groups of silica surface. The geminal hydroxyl groups of the surface behaved as single adsorption sites with respect to albumin. The number or such sites on quartz surface was estimated. The IR spectra indicated that the adsorption of albumin macromolecules caused the dehydration of aerosil surface and the appearance of a small amount (to 10%) of unfolded -regions in the secondary structure of the adsorbed protein, while the -helical macromolecular structure remains preserved as a whole. Changes in the tertiary structure of the protein resulted from the adsorption were discussed. Protein macromolecules folded into globules were shown to be tilted with respect to the adsorbent surface.     

The displacement of adsorbed polymer from silica surfaces by the addition of a nonionic surfactant

The adsorption of polyvinyl alcohol and Synperonic NP8 (nonyl phenol ethoxylate with an average of eight ethylene oxide groups per molecule) on fumed silica has been studied at various pH values. This was followed by an investigation of the competitive adsorption of NP8 and PVA. It was shown that NP8 can displace the polymer from the silica. This was attributed to a higher adsorption energy for the NP8 molecule compared with the value of the individual adsorbed PVA segments. Sediment volume experiments showed that the addition of NP8 to a colloidally stable silica dispersion with adsorbed PVA can induce flocculation as a result of displacement of some or all of the PVA chains from the surface. Initially the adsorption of the NP8 molecules caused an increase in the hydrophobic interaction (resulting in the flocculation) between the alkyl phenol groups which are oriented towards the bulk solution (since the PEO chains preferentially adsorb on the silica surface). Restabilisation at higher NP8 concentrations occur through the formation of bilayers with the PEO chains now dangling in solution.
