Abstract: | The study is devoted to the characterization by both TG-DTG analysis and FTIR spectroscopy of beech flour, dyes and the sorbent-dyes
products obtained through retention of the dyes from aqueous solution on the beech flour, to the aim of obtaining information
on the nature of dyes’ retention, thermal behavior of the sorbent-dye materials as well as on their possible upgrading as
fuel.
Thermal analysis led to the conclusion that the mechanism of thermo-oxidative degradation is specific and the retention of
dyes occurs on cellulose from beech flour. The nature of the bonds involved in dyes’ retention is also investigated by FTIR
analysis, which evidences that dyes retention on cellulose is realized through hydrogen bonding between the NH and, respectively,
OH groups from dye molecule and the oxygen atoms from cellulose. Involvement of the non-participating electrons of the nitrogen
and, respectively, oxygen atoms of these groups in the extended electronic conjugation with aromatic nuclei strongly influences
the capacity of the amino and, respectively, hydroxyl groups of forming hydrogen bonds, thus achieving dyes fixation on the
sorbent. DTA analysis led to the conclusion that an improvement in the quality of the sorbent-dye materials as fuels is possible,
as compared to untreated beach flour, as a result of the modification of the cellulosic fibers in the process of dyes retention. |
