Preparation and Utilization of Cationized Sawdust

Glycidyl trimethyl ammonium acetate (GTMAA) was prepared. Factors affecting the cationization of sawdust with GTMAA in presence of sodium hydroxide were investigated. These factors include sodium hydroxide/GTMAA molar ratio, liquor ratio, reaction duration, and temperature. The extent of cationization was traced by estimating the nitrogen content of the cationized sawdust, and its structural features were confirmed by IR analysis. The ability of cationized sawdust to adsorb anionic dyes, viz., Acid Fast Red 1, Acid Green 16, and Direct Blue 75, was investigated at 30°C. The adsorption data follow both Langmuir and Freundlish isotherms. The adsorption capacity, Q_max, were 82, 86.2, and 81.3 mg/g, for Acid Red 1, Direct Blue 75, and Acid Green 16, respectively. Cationized sawdust exhibited a much better adsorption capacity towards anionic dyes than native sawdust.     

Studies on mixture dyeing. IV. Equilibrium adsorption of direct dyes

Chrysophenine G (C.I. Direct Yellow 12), Benzopurpurine 4B (Red 2), Sirius Red 4B (Red 81), Sirius Supra Blue BRR (Blue 71) and Sky Blue 6B (Blue 1) were selected as typical direct dyes, and the equilibrium adsorptions on cellulose (Cellophane) from the 1:1 and 2:1 molar mixture dye baths were investigated at 90° and 70°C. The standard affinity in mixture dyeing was obtained by the equation derived from the assumption of monodispersed and diffusive adsorption. The standard affinity in mixture dyeing was nearly equal to that in single dyeing, except for the Chrysophenine G–Sky Blue 6B system. However, judging from the fiber and solution log sum plots, there was a definite difference between mixture and single dyeing. It was explained by the change of activity of dye and sodium ions on substrate followed by the marked change of the total adsorption. The adsorption behavior of direct dyes is discussed in detail from the viewpoint of concentration dependence of the activity coefficient of dye and sodium ions on the substrate.     

Photocatalytic decoloration of water-soluble azo dyes by reduction based on bisulfite-mediated borohydride

Investigation of the photocatalytic decoloration of nine water-soluble anionic azo dyes widely used for the coloration of textiles was conducted in a photoreactor by a selected reduction based on bisulfite-mediated borohydride. The influence of the irradiation power on their decoloration was discussed in this work. The decoloration processes of two typical azo dyes, Reactive Red MS and C.I. Direct Blue 15 were examined with UV–vis measurement and their decoloration kinetics was also investigated. Moreover, identification of benzidine compounds released from the photoreduction of four direct dyestuffs was undertaken. The results indicated that the reduction of the dyes was significantly enhanced under the increasing irradiation. It was found that the overall degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and two distinct stages were observed in the decoloration processes of Reactive Red MS and C.I. Direct Blue 15. The decay rates at first stage were slightly changed, but the decay rates at second stage were significantly affected by the light intensity. In addition, UV–vis spectra showed that the azo linkages in molecule structure of the dyes were destroyed during the decoloration. Finally, dimethoxyl benzidine or benzidine produced from the photoreduction of four direct dyes was identified as the decoloration products through a rapid spectrophotometric method.     

Dye removal from colored textile wastewater using chitosan in binary systems

In this paper, the removal of two anionic dyes from textile effluent in single and binary systems was investigated. Direct Red 23 and Acid Green 25 were used as anionic dyes. The surface characteristics of chitosan were investigated using Fourier transform infrared. The effects of operational parameters such as chitosan dosage, initial dye concentration, salt and pH on dye removal were studied. The isotherms of dye adsorption were investigated. It was found that the isotherm data of Direct Red 23 and Acid Green 25 in single and binary systems followed Tempkin isotherm. In addition adsorption kinetics of dyes was studied in single and binary systems and rate sorption was found to conform to pseudo-second order kinetics with a good correlation. Results indicated that chitosan could be used as a biosorbent to remove the anionic dyes from contaminated watercourses in both single and binary systems of pollutants.     

Preparation of CTAB-functionalized aqai stalk and its efficient application as adsorbent for the removal of Direct Blue 15 and Direct Red 23 dyes from aqueous media

In this work, a new adsorbent material based on the chemical modification of aqai stalk (AS) with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was proposed, forming a new material called AS-CTAB. The characterization data from the AS-CTAB adsorbent indicated that the biomass was chemically modified by the surfactant. The prepared material was successfully used as an adsorbent for the removal of Direct Blue 15 (DB-15) and Direct Red 23 (DR-23) from aqueous solutions. For both dyes, adsorption followed the Avrami kinetic model. The kinetic data were better fitted using the nonlinear Avrami fractional model for both dyes. The contact time between the adsorbent and adsorbate was fixed at 180 and 30?min for DB-15 and DR-23, respectively. This remarkable difference of contact time between the dyes with AS-CTAB adsorbent was attributed to the difference in the physicochemical characteristics of the dyes such as size of the molecule, hydrophilic–lipophilic balance, and polar surface area (PA). The Liu isotherm model displayed Q_max of 394.2 and 454.9?mg?g^?1 for DB-15 and DR-23, respectively, at 45°C. Since the AS-CTAB is not a porous material, electrostatic interaction was the main mechanism involved in the adsorption process for both dyes. The thermodynamic adsorption reaction was shown to be a spontaneous and endothermic process. The AS-CTAB adsorbent was also tested in the treatment of synthetic dye effluents and presented a removal of up to 95.41% of a simulated effluent containing several dyes and high saline concentration.     

The accessibility of cotton to anionic dyes

Adsorption isotherms have been obtained for two direct dyes on unmercerised cotton and viscose yarns at the boil in the presence of sodium chloride. Both dyes, CI Direct Red 81 and CI Direct Green 26, show evidence of monomolecular layer adsorption. Controlled acid hydrolysis of cotton was carried out in order to remove non-crystalline cellulose, and dye sorption values were obtained for the residues. Accessible surface areas have been calculated from the saturation values obtained from the reciprocal plots of the adsorption data. The results are interpreted in terms of a crystalline fibril model of the cotton fibre.     

The affinity of direct dyes for cellophane under high hydrostatic pressure

The affinities of direct dyes, such as CI Direct Blue 1, Red 2 and Yellow 12 for cellophane under high hydrostatic pressures up to 600 MPa at 55d?C are presented. The pressure dependence of the affinities are discussed in terms of the change of the volume of substrate available for dye adsorption, ΔV.     

Specific sorbents for bilirubin removal from human plasma: Congo red-modified poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads

Congo Red-modified poly(EGDMA–HEMA) microbeads were investigated as a specific sorbent for bilirubin removal from human plasma. Poly(EGDMA–HEMA) microbeads were prepared by a modified suspension copolymerization technique. Congo Red was covalently incorporated into the poly(EGDMA–HEMA) microbeads via condensation reactions between the aromatic amine groups of the dyes and the hydroxyl groups of the HEMA, under alkaline conditions. Bilirubin adsorption was investigated from hyperbilirubinemic human plasma on the poly(EGDMA–HEMA) microbeads containing different amounts of attached Congo Red (between 2.5 and 14.6 μmol/g). The nonspecific bilirubin adsorption on the unmodified poly(EGDMA–HEMA) microbeads were 0.32 mg/g from human plasma. High adsorption rates were observed at the beginning, and the adsorption equilibrium was then gradually achieved in about 30–60 min. Much higher bilirubin adsorption values, up to 11.7 mg/g, were obtained with the Congo Red-modified microbeads especially at 37°C. The numbers (as μmol) of bilirubin molecules to albumin molecules adsorbed on the sorbent microbeads were in the range of 15–20, which showed that bilirubin molecules were preferentially adsorbed to the Congo Red-modified microbeads. Bilirubin adsorption increased with increasing temperature. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 68:373–380, 1998     

Diffusion/adsorption model of cellulose dyeing. I. The diffusion through never-dry cellulose

The diffusion coefficients D₀, of C.I. Direct Yellow 12, Red 2, Blue 1, and Blue 15 in aqueous NaCl solution were measured at 90°C by the diaphagm cell method. The values of D₀ for Yellow 12 and Red 2 showed a salt concentration dependence and those for Blue 1 and Blue 15 were constant over the ionic strength range from 0.01 to 0.10. In the adsorption/diffusion models proposed so far for the direct dye–cellulose system, the Standing–Warwicker–Willis model was shown to be similar in principle to the Weisz–Zollinger model. The adsorption/diffusion behaviors in never-dry cellophane sheet for C.I. Direct Yellow 12 and Blue 15 were examined by the method of cylindrical film roll at 90°C. The concentration dependence of the apparent diffusion coefficient for these dyes showed an incomplete validity of both the models.     

Diffusion mechanism of direct dyes into a cellulose membrane: The structural effect of direct dyes on the adsorption rate

The transport of three typical direct dyes, C.I. Direct Yellow 12, C.I. Direct Red 2, and C. I. Direct Blue 15, into a cellulose membrane has been studied at 55°C. Sodium chloride was used as a stimulator for dyeing. The effects of the concentration of the stimulator on the adsorption isotherms, the adsorption rate, and the concentration profiles in the membrane were tested. The experimental adsorption rates of three dyes were quite different. The diffusion mechanism of the dyes into a cellulose membrane was analyzed on the basis of the parallel transport equation of surface and pore diffusion as developed in our previous paper. The experimental uptake curves showed good agreement with the theoretical curves for surface diffusion control. Experimental concentration profiles also agreed reasonably well with the theoretical lines for surface diffusion control rather than pore diffusion control. The surface diffusivities of three dyes were quite different and nearly independent of the adsorbed phase concentration of the dye.     

Synthesis of chemically modified chitosans with a higher fatty acid glycidyl and their adsorption abilities for anionic and cationic dyes

Novel chitosan‐based materials with a higher fatty acid glycidyl as the chemically modified agent were synthesized and the adsorption ability of the resulting polymers has been evaluated for typical anionic and cationic dyes. The successful modification was confirmed by the infrared spectroscopic measurements. As the degree of substitution was decreased, the adsorption ability of the chemically modified chitosans for anionic dyes at the higher dye concentration was increased, and the modified chitosans with a lower degree of substitution showed a higher adsorption ability than that of an activated carbon at the higher dye concentration. For cationic dyes, the chemically modified chitosan showed a good adsorption power, especially when the adsorption power was evaluated by the flow methods. The improved adsorption ability of a chemically modified chitosan material was also confirmed by comparing it with that of a crosslinked chitosan material. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

设计并合成了一系列季铵盐型凝胶剂，仅通过调控季铵盐烷基侧链的长度，可得到两种自组装模式不同的凝胶剂。通过FTIR、XRD研究了甲苯干凝胶的自组装模式。这两种干凝胶具有相反的表面Zeta电位，通过静电作用实现了对阴阳离子染料的选择性吸附。在二元阴阳离子混合染料水溶液中，表面带有负电荷的干凝胶可优先捕获阳离子染料，而表面带有正电荷的干凝胶可捕获阴离子染料。特别是表面带有负电荷的干凝胶对龙胆紫表现出优异的吸附性能，在60 min左右的平衡吸附量高达1313.16 mg/g。将凝胶剂负载于三聚氰胺海绵骨架表面，得到的改性海绵吸附染料种类与对其改性的干凝胶保持一致，且对染料的吸附量均明显高于干凝胶的吸附量，尤其是对龙胆紫的吸附量提升至2488.22 mg/g。     

Synthesis of acrylamide/acrylic acid‐based aluminum flocculant for dye reduction and textile wastewater treatment

Aluminum hydroxide‐poly[acrylamide‐co‐(acrylic acid)], AHAMAA, was synthesized with a redox initiator by solution polymerization in which the effects of reactant contents were optimized. The effects of pH, temperature, and initial dye concentration on Congo red reduction were investigated. A mixture of Congo red and direct blue 71, and the composite textile dye wastewater were investigated. Adsorptions of both dyes were more effective in the nonbuffered solution than those in the buffered solution, and Congo red adsorbed more than direct blue 71 at all pHs. The adsorption of Congo red increased with increasing temperature and its initial concentration. Both dyes obeyed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorptions in 100 mg dm^?3 solution were 109 ± 0.5 mg g^?1 and 62 ± 6.6 mg g^?1 for Congo red and direct blue 71, respectively. At 150 mg dm^?3 of the mixed Congo red and direct blue 71, the adsorption was 142 ± 2 mg g^?1 by 643 ± 3 mg dm^?3 AHAMAA. The 40 mg g^?1 dyes of the textile effluent wastewater were adsorbed by 500 mg dm^?3 AHAMAA. AHAMAA could decrease turbidity of the composite wastewater containing a mixture of reactive and direct dyes from 405 to 23 NTU. POLYM. ENG.

Interaction of dis‐azo dyes with quaternized poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) as a function of the dye structure and polycation charge density

Interactions between some dis‐azo dyes, different by either the position of their sulfonic groups or their number (Ponceau SS, Crocein Scarlet MOO, Congo Red, and Direct Blue 1), and some strong polycations (PCs), with cationic centers in their side chains and dye removal from artificial wastewaters were systematically investigated in this study. PCs with variable charge densities (CDs) were prepared from poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) by controlled quaternization with benzyl chloride. Even when the main process in the dye removal was charge neutralization (coagulation) for all of the dyes, significant effects of the CD and dis‐azo dye structure on the metachromatic behavior of the dyes in dilute aqueous solutions and on the dye removal efficiency were observed. The stability of the PC/azo dye complex and, connected with this, the flocculation window were higher when the PC with the highest CD was used. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The adsorptive properties of UiO-66 towards organic dyes: A record adsorption capacity for the anionic dye Alizarin Red S.

In order to decisively determine the adsorption selectivity of zirconium MOF(UiO-66) towards anionic versus cationic species, the adsorptive removal of the anionic dyes(Alizarin Red S.(ARS), Eosin(E), Fuchsin Acid(FA)and Methyl Orange(MO)) and the cationic dyes(Neutral Red(NR), Fuchsin Basic(FB), Methylene Blue(MB),and Safranine T(ST)) has been evaluated. The results clearly reveal a significant selectivity towards anionic dyes. Such an observation agrees with a plethora of reports of UiO-66 superior affinity towards other anionic species(Floride, PO_4~(3-), Diclofenac sodium, Methylchlorophenoxy-propionic acid, Phenols, CrO_4~(2-), SeO_3~(2-), and AsO_4~-). The adsorption process of ARS as an example has been optimized using the central composite design(CCD). The resultant statistical model indicates a crucial effect of both pH and sorbent mass. The optimum conditions were determined to be initial dye concentration 11.82 mg.L~(-1), adsorbent amount 0.0248 g, shaking time of 36 min and pH 2. The adsorption process proceeds via pseudo-second order kinetics(R~2= 0.999). The equilibrium data were fit to Langmuir and Tempkin models(R~2= 0.999 and 0.997 respectively). The results reveal an exceptional removal for the anionic dye(Alizarin Red S.) with a record adsorption capacity of400 mg·g~(-1). The significantly high adsorption capacity of UiO-66 towards ARS adds further evidence to the recently reported exceptional performance of MOFs in pollutants removal from water.     

Synthesis,physical properties,and application of aminated poly(glycidyl methacrylate)/zeolite composite

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)/zeolite (PGMA/Z) composite was prepared by free radical polymerization and it was further modified to contain amino groups on its surface, by reacting to hexamethylenediamine. FTIR, TG, and SEM analyses were performed and investigated its potential as an adsorbent for removal of anionic dyes; namely, Reactive Red 120 (RR120) and Reactive Blue 4 (RB4). The effect of operational parameters was investigated. Maximum RR120 and RB4 adsorption capacities of composite were calculated as 136.5 and 189.8 mg g⁻¹, respectively. Isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies were also performed. It was found that the adsorption process might be heterogeneous by nature, and adsorption kinetics of reactive dyes followed the pseudo‐second order. The thermodynamic calculations showed that adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. POLYM. COMPOS., 37:2313–2322, 2016. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Binding of some dyes onto crosslinked poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone)

Summary Bindings of some anionic dyes containing sulfonyl group(s), namely, Acid Blue 74 (AB-74), Acid Orange 7 (AO-7), Acid Green 1 (AG-1), Direct Blue 53 (DB-53), and Calconcarboxylic acid (CCA) onto crosslinked poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (CPVP) have been investigated using adsorption isotherm parameter. The dyes were linked positively charged on the tertiary nitrogen atom on the pyrrolidone ring in polymer chain resulting keto-enol tautomerism from sulfonyl group on the benzene ring in the dyes molecules. In the experiments of adsorption, L (Langmuir) type adsorption in the Giles classification system was found. Monolayer coverages (n) of polymer/dye system were founds by "B point" methods. Adsorption studies indicated that monolayer coverages of CPVP by the anionic dyes containing sulfonyl group(s) were increased with following order; CCA > AG-1 >> DB-53 > AO-7 > AB-74.

Adsorption of different dyes from aqueous solution using Si-MCM-41 having very high surface area

Adsorption characteristics of four different dyes Safranin O (cationic), Neutral Red (neutral), Congo Red (anionic) and Reactive Red 2 (anionic) on Si-MCM-41 material having very high surface area are reported. The surface morphology of Si-MCM-41 material before and after adsorbing dye molecules are characterised by FTIR, HRXRD, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, FESEM, and HRTEM. The adsorption capacities of Si-MCM-41 for the dyes followed a decreasing order of NR > SF > CR > RR2. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamic parameters are investigated in detail for these dyes using calcined Si-MCM-41. The kinetics and isotherm data showed that both SF and NR adsorb more rapidly than CR and RR2, in accordance with pseudo-second-order kinetics model as well as intraparticle diffusion kinetics model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model respectively. The thermodynamic data suggest that the dye uptake process is spontaneous. The high adsorption capacities of dyes on Si-MCM-41 (q_m = 275.5 mg g^?1 for SF, q_m = 288.2 mg g^?1 for NR) is explained on the basis of electrostatic interactions as well as H-bonding interactions between adsorbent and adsorbate molecules. Good regeneration capacity is another important aspect of the material that makes it potent for the uptake of dyes from aqueous solution.     

The Binding of Anionic Dyes by Cross-Linked Cationic Starches

Adsorption of anionic dyes on the cross-linked with epichlorohydrin starches containing quaternary ammonium groups (CCS) was investigated and compared with that of modified starches containing only quaternary ammonium groups (CS). The adsorption of anionic dyes on CS and CCS closely follows the Langmuir model of adsorption. The computed Langmuir saturation capacity Q _o increases with increasing degree of substitution (DS) of CS or CCS and has the value from 0.81 mol/kg to 3.22 mol/kg for CCS and from 0.88 mol/kg to 1.87 mol/kg for CS. The effectiveness of the cationic groups in dye binding was about 1 mol/equiv for CSS with DS from 0.47 to 0.62 and all the cationic groups had attached one anionic groups of the dye. Increasing DS of CS decreases the effectiveness of dye binding due to the increase in solubility of CS, and the soluble part of CS binds the dye as a typical soluble polyelectrolyte. CCS are more suitable than CS for the anionic dye adsorption from a textile dyeing solution. DS of CCS should be about 0.5–0.6. They adsorb the anionic dyes in few minutes and acts in the wide range of pH of the solutions. The Langmuir saturation capacity Q _o and the effectiveness of the cationic groups in dye binding increase with an increase of the adsorption temperature. The positive values of the enthalpy and entropy suggest that the adsorption is endothermic and during the adsorption of the anionic dye on CCS the randomness of the system increases.     

Shrinking Core Model in characterizing aqueous phase dye adsorption

The fluid-solid non-catalytic reactive system is characterized by the widely accepted Shrinking Core Model. In the present investigation the same model has been applied to characterize the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) and Congo Red (CR) dyes in the aqueous phase onto Rice Husk Ash (RHA). The effective pore diffusivities of different dye molecules in RHA are determined by a suitable global optimization technique. The depth of penetration has also been estimated for various initial concentrations of dyes. The values predicted by the model are compared with experimental concentration profiles at different initial concentrations of these dyes. The theory-experiment comparison has revealed that predicted values are in excellent agreement with the experimental values.
