Adsorption of direct dye on cellulose in the presence of sodium alginate at various temperatures

Dyeing of cellulose by Chrysophenine G (CI Direct Yellow 12) in aqueous sodium alginate solution at various temperatures has been studied. The effect of temperature change on dye adsorption equilibrium to cellulose in the presence of sodium alginate has been examined based on the previously described multiple equilibrium model. The affinities of the dye, which were calculated with an interpolated ionisation degree of the carboxyl group in the cellulose and by using the ionization degree of sodium alginate measured were nearly constant under the present dyeing conditions. These results confirm the previous conclusion that the dye is concentrated into the internal solution of cellulose due to the presence of sodium alginate in the bulk solution.     

Transport of direct dye into cellulose membrane

The dyeing process for a cellulose membrane–direct dye system is analyzed based on a parallel transport mechanism of surface and pore diffusion with Freundlich isotherm. Numerical solutions were obtained in order to clarify how the surface and pore diffusion resistances affect the uptake curve. The numerical solutions were also compared with an analytical solution for surface diffusion control to establish the range where the analytical solution can be considered as an acceptable approximation. The uptake curves in the cellulose membrane-chromophore (C.I. Direct Yellow 12) system in the presence of inorganic electrolyte were measured. The rate of adsorption and the maximum amount of adsorption increased with an increase in the concentration of those electrolytes. The rate of adsorption was approximately controlled by the surface diffusion rather than by pore diffusion. The surface diffusivities of the dye were little affected by either the concentration and or nature of the electrolyte.

Decolorization of textile basic dye in aqueous solution by ozone

In this study, the factors affecting the rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of a synthetic waste solution containing a water soluble basic dye [Methylene Blue] were investigated. Decolorization of the dye was achieved by ozonation. The research was conducted using a batch bubble column to take the advantage of the intensive back-mixing that prevails in bubble columns. As a result, the COD of basic dyestuff wastewater was reduced to 64.96% and decolorization was observed under basic conditions (pH 12), complete MB degradation occurring in 12 min. Ozone consumption continued for a further 16 min after which time most of the degradation reactions were complete. Kinetic studies showed that direct ozonation of the aqueous dyes represented a pseudo-first-order reaction with respect to the dye. The apparent rate constant, which increased with both the applied ozone dose and higher pH values, declined logarithmically with the initial dye concentration.     

Concentration of aqueous dye solution by freezing and thawing

The concentration phenomena during freezing and thawing were investigated to study the feasibility of freeze–thaw process as a concentration operation. An aqueous dye solution was employed as a model binary eutectic solution. The localised concentration in the frozen matrix was determined, and the concentration profile of the melting solution during thawing was examined. It was found that the solution obtained during thawing showed higher concentration than the original solution, and the concentration did not correspond to the amount of solute localised in the frozen matrix. It was suggested that the concentration phenomena during thawing would be governed by the melting droplet growth rate at the melting interface and by the diffusion rate of solute from eutectic phases to the droplet.     

Activated carbon from bacterial cellulose as an effective adsorbent for removing dye from aqueous solution

ABSTRACT

Novel activated carbon (AC) derived from bacterial cellulose (BC-AC) was produced by phosphoric acid activation at a carbonization temperature of 500 °C. BC-AC possesses mesoporous structures of 2.3 nm in diameter, porosity of 1.0 cm³/g and surface area of 1734 m²/g with high thermal stability between 100 and 500 °C. BC-AC could be used as an effective adsorbent for removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions with the maximum adsorption capacity of 505.8 mg/g. BC-AC presented physisorption and the adsorption of MB was most likely to be a monolayer adsorption. The Redlich–Peterson model displayed the best fit with the experimental data.     

Controlled release of insecticide carbaryl from sodium alginate,sodium alginate/gelatin,and sodium alginate/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose blend beads crosslinked with glutaraldehyde

Interpenetrating network polymeric beads of sodium alginate (NaAlg) and its blend with gelatin (gels) or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) have been prepared by crosslinking with a common crosslinking agent, glutaraldehyde (GA), for the release of insecticide carbaryl (Carb). The prepared beads were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the spherical nature and surface morphology of the particles. Bead characteristics, such as carbaryl entrapment efficiency, particle size, equilibrium swelling degree, and carbaryl release kinetics, were determined. The effects of the preparation conditions, such as Carb/NaAlg ratio, time of exposure to GA, blend ratio, and temperature of release medium on the carbaryl release, were investigated for 25 days at 25°C. It was observed that the carbaryl release decreased with increase in crosslinking of network, while it increased with increase in Carb/NaAlg ratio and temperature. The release of carbaryl also increased with increase in Gel or NaCMC content in the blend beads. The highest carbaryl release was found to be 100%, for the beads that were prepared with 1 : 1 NaAlg/Gel at 16 days. The diffusion coefficients have been calculated for the transport of insecticide through the polymeric beads, using initial time approximation method. These values were also consistent with the carbaryl release data. The carbaryl release from most of the bead formulations followed the Fickian trend. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dyeing equilibria: interaction of direct dyes with cellulose substrates

The traditional Freundlich equation used to correlate direct dye sorption on cellulose is compared to the Langmuir equation for correlating the same data. Results taken from six different direct dyes are presented that show a much better correlation of the data is obtained with the Langmuir equation indicating that the interaction of dyes with the substrate is rather specific. The specific nature of the sorption process is compared to acid dye sorption on aminised cotton which also is shown to be Langmuir type. Explanation of the sorption of mixtures of direct dyes is also discussed as being better interpreted in terms of the Langmuir sorption.     

Efficient removal of methylene blue in aqueous solution by freeze-dried calcium alginate beads

Novel porous calcium alginate beads were prepared via crosslinking of calcium followed by freeze drying for investigating the adsorption performance for methylene blue. These beads possessed reduced shrinkage, highly porous lamellar structure and high specific surface area, and exhibited enhanced adsorption capacity and much faster adsorption rate compared to the non-porous beads obtained with conventional oven drying method. Methylene blue adsorption capacity increased with increasing of initial concentration and pH, while decreased with increasing of temperature. The adsorption process fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity was 961.5 mg g^?1 at 298.15 K. After eight successive adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity had negligible decrease. Owing to the high adsorption capability, rapid adsorption rate, easy recovery and reusability, the freeze-dried beads imply a prospective, biodegradable and attractive adsorbent for removing contaminants from wastewater.     

Solubility of cellulose III in sodium hydroxide solution

Studies on cellulose III solubility have been conducted in 8.5% NaOH solution with and without the presence of added substances, such as acrylamide, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and thiourea. The highest value of cellulose III solubility was obtained as a result of the introduction thiourea and acrylamide in a 5% ratio of NaOH into NaOH solution. Moreover, dissolving conditions proved to be of great importance. Cellulose III introduced into NaOH solution and repeatedly frozen and unfrozen three times dissolved 50% (dissolving with 5% thiourea). The soluble cellulose fraction showed significantly lower molecular mass in comparison with its insoluble fraction. Comparative studies on cellulose crystallinity using the CP / MAS ¹³C-NMR method showed a satisfactory compatibility of results with determinations obtained from the X-ray method. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Blend membranes from carboxymethylated chitosan/alginate in aqueous solution

The blend membranes were satisfactorily prepared by coagulating a mixture of O‐carboxymethylated chitosan (CM‐chitosan) and alginate in aqueous solution with 5 wt % CaCl₂, and then by treating with 1 wt % HCl aqueous solution. Their structure and miscibility were characterized by scanning electron micrograph, X‐ray diffraction, infrared spectra, differential thermal analysis, and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results indicated that the blends were miscible, when the weight ratio of CM‐chitosan to alginate was in the range from 1 : 1 to 1 : 5. The polymers interpenetration including a Ca²⁺ crosslinked bridge occurred in the blend membrane, and leads to high separation factor for pervaporation separation of alcohol/water and low permeation. The tensile strength in the wet state (σ_b = 192 kg cm⁻² for CM‐chitosan/alginate 1 : 1) and thermostability of the blend membranes were significantly superior to that of alginic acid membrane, and cellulose/alginate blend membranes, owing to a strong electrostatic interaction caused by —NH₂ groups of CM‐chitosan with —COOH groups of algic acid. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Concentration of sodium chloride in aqueous solution by chlorodifluoromethane gas hydrate

The decomposition temperature and pressure (quadruple point) of chlorodifluoromethane (R22) gas hydrate in aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was measured at different NaCl concentrations in the solution as a phase diagram. The operative concentration curve of NaCl was obtained as a function of temperature. The maximum decomposition temperature of R22 hydrate was about 290 K at 0.9 MPa pressure, and it decreased as the NaCl concentration increased in the solution. R22 hydrate caused supercooling, and the supercooling occurrence temperature was much lower than the decomposition temperature. The ultrasonic charge reduced the supercooling of hydration effectively even though the ultrasonic charge did not change the decomposition temperature at all. The concentration experimental results from the several NaCl solutions having different NaCl concentrations were in good agreement with the theoretical operative concentration curve for NaCl.     

Fabrication of a model cellulose surface from straw with an aqueous sodium hydroxide/thiourea solution

Model cellulose surfaces were prepared with both microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose isolated from wheat straw with different molecular weights. A sodium hydroxide/thiourea aqueous solution, instead of any organic solvents, worked as the solvent for dissolving cellulose, and model cellulose films were prepared by a two‐step method: first, the cellulose solution was deposited onto the surface of the substrate with the spin‐coating method, and second, the as‐prepared film was washed with deionized water to remove the impurities and was formed with a flattened surface. Atomic force microscopy was used to measure the morphology, surface roughness, and thickness of the cellulose thin films. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry were used to characterize the surface chemical information of the films. The results revealed that model cellulose surfaces could form from both kinds of cellulose. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Homogeneous hydroxyethylation of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution

Summary The 6 wt.% NaOH/4 wt.% urea aqueous solution was proved to be an aqueous non-derivatizing solvent for cellulose by ¹³C NMR. O-(2-hydroxyethyl)cellulose (HEC) was prepared by a totally homogeneous hydroxyethylation of cellulose using this new solvent for the first time, and the distribution of substituents within anhydroglucose units (AGU) was examined by ¹³C NMR. It was found that the relative reactivity of the hydroxyl groups within AGU and the new hydroxyl group was in the order C-x > C-6 > C-2 > C-3, an analogous functionalization pattern as HEC obtained by the heterogeneous slurry process. The ethylene oxide efficiency in this homogeneous etherification reaction was 20 – 30%.
