Removal of paraquat pesticide from aqueous solutions using a novel adsorbent material based on polyacrylamide and methylcellulose hydrogels

This research studied the characteristics of poly(acrylamide) and methylcellulose (PAAm‐MC) hydrogels as a novel adsorbent material for removal of pesticide paraquat, from aqueous solution, with potential applications in curbing environmental risk from such herbicides. PAAm‐MC hydrogels with different acrylamide (AAm) and MC concentrations were prepared by a free‐radical polymerization method. The capability of the hydrogels in removing paraquat dichloride from aqueous solution was determined using UV–Vis analysis. The scanning electron microscopy method was used to study the morphological properties of the hydrogels, and swelling degree (Q) of the hydrogels was also measured. The entrapped MC in PAAm chains provoked significant changes in morphological, hydrophilic, and adsorption properties of the PAAm‐MC hydrogels. The adsorption capacity of hydrogels was strongly influenced by AAm, MC, and paraquat concentrations with the highest adsorption capacity (q_eq = 14.3 mg g^?1) was observed for hydrogels synthesized with 6.0% AAm with 0.75% MC swollen in 45.7 mg L^?1 of paraquat solution. Freundlich model performed better than Langmuir model in describing the adsorption isotherm of PAAm‐MC/paraquat system, implying a heterogeneous surface. These results suggest that PAAm‐MC hydrogels are potentially viable absorbents for removal of paraquat pesticide from aqueous solution and cleaning water contaminated with dyes, heavy metals, and others pesticides. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Removal of basic dyes from aqueous solutions by crosslinked‐acrylic acid/acrylamidopropane sulfonic acid hydrogels

In this study, Acrylic acid (AA)/2‐acrylamido‐2‐methlypropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) hydrogels were prepared by free radical polymerization in aqueous solutions of AA, AMPS, and N,N‐methylenebisacrylamide (NMBA) as crosslinker. Potassium persulfate (PPS)/potassium bisulfide (PBS) were used as initiator and accelerator pair. The water absorption capacities and dye adsorption properties of the hydrogels were investigated. Adsorption properties of the hydrogels were evaluated by depending on different adsorption conditions such as different initial dye concentration and contact time. The concentrations of the dyes were determined using UV/Vis Spectrophotometer at wavelength 530 nm for safranine T (ST) and 622 nm for brilliant cresyl blue (BCB). Adsorption kinetic studies showed that pseudo‐first order kinetic model is suitable to explain the adsorption kinetic data of the hydrogels. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to describe adsorption data. The result revealed that the adsorption of basic dyes onto hydrogels fit very well both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

New sorbent hydrogels for removal of acidic dyes and metal ions from aqueous solutions

Summary Poly(N-hydroxymethylacrylamide), PHMA, hydrogels were prepared by using N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, HMA, monomer and polyethyleneglycol(400)diacrylate as a crosslinking agent in aqueous medium and then amine groups were incorporated onto PHMA hydrogels by amination reaction with different diamines. The obtained hydrogels were characterized by determination of amine value, hydroxymethyl group content and FTIR spectra. The amine value of hydrogels changed from 2.23 to 4.64 mmol/g by depending on the amine compounds used in amination reaction. Their swelling degree increased at acidic pH values and they showed pH dependent swelling behaviour. They were used as sorbent for removal of indigo carmine and Cu(II) ion, as a model dye molecule and metal ion, respectively, from aqueous solutions. The adsorption properties of the hydrogels were investigated by depending on pH, time and initial indigo carmine or Cu(II) ion concentration. It was seen that the amine group incorporated hydrogels have quite high adsorption rate and adsorption capacity, and their adsorption capacities changed with pH of the solution. Langmuir isotherm model was the best fit for adsorption of both indigo carmine and Cu (II) ion.     

Enhanced adsorption of heavy metal ions onto simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels synthesized by UV irradiation

Simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels have been prepared by UV-initiated polymerization of a mixture of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonic acid (AMPS) and triethylene glycol divinyl ether (DVE-3) with enhanced adsorption properties for heavy metal ion removal. The swelling ratio of the IPN hydrogels determined by gravimetric method increased with the AMPS content in the formulation. The IPN hydrogels were used to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. The effects of pH value of the feed solution and AMPS content in the formulation on the adsorption capacity were investigated. The results indicated that the adsorption capacity increased with the pH values and AMPS content in the formulation. Furthermore, the synergistic complexation of metal ions with two polymer networks in the IPN was found in the adsorption studies. The adsorption isotherm of the IPN hydrogels can be well fitted to the Freundlich model. The adsorption kinetics on IPN hydrogels clearly followed an initial transport-controlled adsorption process, but transited to an attachment-controlled adsorption kinetics in the later stage. Thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°), and entropy (ΔS°) for the adsorption were estimated. Results suggested that the adsorption process was a spontaneous, exothermic process that had positive entropy.     

Comprehensive evaluation of antibiotic tetracycline and oxytetracycline removal by Fe-metal organic framework/biopolymer-clay hydrogel

Tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are antibiotic compounds increasingly detected in various water sources. In this study, Fe-metal organic framework incorporated biopolymer-clay hydrogels (CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP) were prepared to remove TC and OTC from water. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared hydrogels were thoroughly characterized, and the effect of various operating parameters on the adsorption performance was systematically examined. The CAMIL-MMT hydrogel showed the maximum adsorption capacity for TC and OTC (24.59 and 26.14 mg/g, respectively) compared to the CAMIL-SEP and other forms of biopolymer hydrogel precursors. The effects of the contact time and initial concentration on TC and OTC adsorption by CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP hydrogels were well suited to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption performance of CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP hydrogels slightly decreased with an increase in solution pH, while it was not much influenced by the co-existing anions. The thermodynamic study indicated that the reactions for the uptake of TC and OTC were spontaneous and highly favorable. Moreover, the as-synthesized CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP hydrogels demonstrated strong potential for reuse in TC and OTC removal with high reusability and strong stability. The photocatalysis study revealed that residual TC and OTC after adsorption could be further degraded by CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP hydrogels under visible light irradiation. From the above-mentioned results, the as-synthesized CAMIL-MMT and CAMIL-SEP hydrogels are promising to be considered alternative materials for the adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of TC and OTC in practical application of water and wastewater treatment.     

Poly (acrylic acid-co-acryloyl tetrasodium thiacalix[4]arene tetrasulfonate) grafted dextrin: new supper metal ion adsorbing hydrogels

Dextrin as a biodegradable natural polymer has hydrophilic nature that capable to increase the swelling properties and biodegradability of the synthetic hydrogels. This study describes the synthesis of a poly (acrylic acid-co-acryloyl tetrasodium thiacalix[4]arene tetrasulfonate) grafted dextrin superabsorbent hydrogels (ADA) via solution polymerization. The effects of acryloyl tetrasodium thiacalix[4]arene tetrasulfonate (ACSTCA) dose (20–60) on swelling properties of the hydrogels were studied. The synthesized hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, TGA, DMTA and rheometry. The metal ion removal capacity of the gels was investigated by atomic absorption for Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Hg²⁺. The tendency of metal ions adsorption decreased in the order of Pb²⁺>Cd²⁺>Hg²⁺. The effect of key operating parameters including ACSTCA content, contact time, adsorbent dosage, solution pH, and crosslinker density was experimentally studied on Pb²⁺ adsorption from aqueous solution. The equilibrium data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Our experimental data are in best agreement with Freundlich isotherms, and adsorption of metal cation onto hydrogel followed a pseudo second-order kinetic model. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption of Pb²⁺ occurred spontaneously. The hydrogels could be regenerated after releasing heavy metal ions, and reused 5 times with less than 7 % loss of adsorption capacity.     

Enhanced adsorption properties of interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels for heavy metal ion removal

In this study, sequential interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels based on poly(polyethylene glycol diacrylate) poly(PEGDA) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were prepared with enhanced adsorption properties for heavy metal ion removal. The swelling behavior and mechanical property of the IPN hydrogels were characterized. It was found that swelling ratio increased, and mechanical strength decreased with the PMAA content in the IPN. The IPN hydrogels were used to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solution under the non-competitive condition. The effects of pH values of the feed solution at the range of 3–5 and PMAA content in the IPN on the adsorption capacity were investigated. The results indicated that the adsorption capacity of the IPN hydrogels increased with the pH values and PMAA content in the IPN. Furthermore, the synergistic complexation of metal ions with two polymer networks in the IPN was found in the adsorption studies. Regeneration studies suggested that metal rebinding capacity of the IPN hydrogels did not change significantly through repeated applications compared with the first run. It was concluded that the poly(PEGDA)/PMAA hydrogels could be used as fast-responsive, high capacity, and renewable sorbent materials in heavy metal removing processes.

In this study, N-isopropylacrylamide-based temperature and pH-sensitive hydrogels were synthesized by free radical polymerization for removal of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, N-isopropylacrylamide was copolymerized with various amounts of sodium salt of itaconic acid in the presence of crosslinking agent (N,N-methylene bisacrylamide). The chemical structures of hydrogels were characterized by FT-IR analysis. In order to investigate swelling properties of the hydrogels, water absorption (swelling) and shrinking (deswelling) kinetics, the equilibrium swelling ratios in water and different pH buffer solutions, and the temperature dependent swelling ratios were determined. Then, their adsorption properties such as adsorption capacities, kinetics, isotherms were investigated in case of their usage in removal of Safranine T (ST), Brilliant Green (BG), and Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) aqueous solutions. According to adsorbed dye amount, the adsorption capacities are followed the order BG > ST ≅ BCB. In addition, the results indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted better than the data obtained from pseudo-first-order model for the adsorption of all dyes onto hydrogels. Furthermore, according to effect of the initial dye concentration findings, it is concluded that, Freundlich isotherm explains the adsorption better than Langmuir isotherm.
