Improved Synthesis of Chitosan -Bearing boldbeta-Cyclodextrin and Its Adsorption Behavior towards Bisphenol A and 4-Nonylphenol

The synthesis of chitosan-bearing -cyclodextrin (CDC) has been improved by use of an alternative condensing agent, 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM). CDC was obtained by the reaction of succinyl chitosan with a small amount of mono-6-amino-mono-6-deoxy--cyclodextrin (ACD) within a shorter reaction time. Under optimal conditions, the CD yields reached to 50%, which were almost the same as those in the reactions using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). The gelation time suggests that the crosslinking of chitosan and the immobilization of the ACD occur competitively. To test the potential of CDC for selective removal of pollutants, the adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-nonylphenol (NP) from aqueous solution onto CDC was investigated. In the case of the equilibrium concentrations more than 10 mg/L, the amounts of both sorbents onto CDC were close to the estimated saturated value of the CDC (85 mg/g for BPA and 81 mg/g for NP).     

Removal of boron(III) by N-methylglucamine-type cellulose derivatives with higher adsorption rate

To obtain adsorbents for boron(III) derived from a natural polymer, two forms (powder and fiber) of N-methylglucamine-type cellulose derivatives were newly synthesized. After the graft polymerization of two forms of cellulose with vinyl monomer having epoxy groups, the N-methylglucamine-type cellulose derivatives were obtained by the reaction of the grafted cellulose with N-methylglucamine. The adsorption capacities of the cellulose derivatives for boron(III) were the same levels as that of a commercially available N-methylglucamine-type polystyrene resin. However, the cellulose derivatives adsorbed boron(III) more quickly than the polystyrene resin. The adsorption and desorption of boron(III) with a column method using the cellulose fiber were achieved at a higher flow rate than that using the polystyrene resin. In addition, the boron(III), adsorbed on the cellulose fiber column, was quantitatively recovered with dilute hydrochloric acid in 20- and 200-fold increased concentrations. Consequently, it was found that the cellulose derivatives were superior to the polystyrene resin as adsorbents for boron(III) for treatment of a large quantity of wastewater.     

A simple method to ordered mesoporous carbons containing nickel nanoparticles

A series of ordered mesoporous carbons containing magnetic Ni nanoparticles (Ni-OMCs) with a variety of Ni loadings was made by a simple one-pot synthetic procedure through carbonization of phenolic resin-Pluronic block copolymer composites containing various amount of nickel nitrate. Such composite materials were characterized by N₂ sorption, XRD, and STEM. Ni-OMCs exhibited high BET surface area, uniform pore size, and large pore volume without obvious pore blockage with a Ni loading as high as 15 wt%. Ni nanoparticles were crystalline with a face-center-cubic phase and observed mainly in the carbon matrix and on the outer surface as well. The average particle size of Ni nanoparticles was dependent on the preparation (carbonization) temperature and Ni loading; the higher the temperature was used and the more the Ni was incorporated, the larger the Ni nanoparticles were observed. One of the applications of Ni-OMCs was demonstrated as magnetically separable adsorbents. Dedicated to Professor Mietek Jaroniec on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Adsorption of carbon dioxide and nitrogen on zeolite rho prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using 18-crown-6 ether

Zeolite rho was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using an 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) as a structure-directing agent, and the effects of the calcination temperature for removal of 18C6 on the physicochemical properties and CO₂-adsorption properties were investigated. CO₂ adsorption on zeolite rho calcined at 150 °C was lower than that on samples calcined at temperatures above 300 °C. For samples calcined above 300 °C, CO₂ adsorption increased with increasing calcination temperature up to 400 °C. It is thought that the pore volume for adsorption of CO₂ increased as a result of 18C6 removal, resulting in increasing CO₂ adsorption. A decrease in CO₂ adsorption for calcination from 400 °C to 500 °C was observed. The particle size of zeolite rho increased with increasing 18C6 molar ratio. Particle sizes of 1.0-2.1 μm and 1.4-2.6 μm were found by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light-scattering, respectively. The particle size is controlled in these regions by adjusting the 18C6 molar ratio. XRD showed that zeolite rho samples with 18C6 molar ratios of 0.25-1.5 had high crystallinity. The adsorbed amount of CO₂ is almost constant, at 3.4 mmol-CO₂ g⁻¹, regardless of the 18C6 molar ratio. However, CO₂ selectivity, which is the CO₂/N₂ adsorption ratio, decreased. The amount of CO₂ adsorbed on zeolite rho is lower than that on zeolite NaX, but higher than that on SAPO-34. The CO₂/N₂ adsorption ratio for zeolite rho was higher than those for SAPO-34 and zeolite NaX.
