Impregnation of chelating agent 3,3-bis-N,N bis-(carboxymethyl)aminomethyl-o-cresolsulfonephthalein in biopolymer chitosan: adsorption equilibrium of Cu(II) in aqueous medium

Abstract

The aim of this study was to impregnate the chelating agent 3,3-bis-N,N,bis-(carboxymethyl)aminomethyl-o-cresolsulfonephthalein in chitosan and to investigate the adsorption of Cu(II) ions. The chemical modification was confirmed by FTIR spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The adsorption studies were carried out with Cu(II) ions in a batch process and were shown to be dependent on pH. The adsorption kinetics was tested using three models: pseudo first-order, pseudo second order and intraparticle diffusion. The experimental kinetics data were best fitted with the pseudo second-order model (R² = 0.999), which provided a rate constant, k2, of 1.21 x 10-3 g mg-1 min-1. The adsorption rate depended on the concentration of Cu(II) ions on the adsorbent surface and on the quantity of Cu(II) ions adsorbed at equilibrium. The Langmuir isotherm model provided the best fit for the equilibrium data in the concentration range investigated, with the maximum adsorption capacity being 81.0 mg of Cu(II) per gram of adsorbent, as obtained from the linear equation of the isotherm. Desorption tests revealed that around 90% of the adsorbed metal was removed, using EDTA solution as the eluent. This result suggests that the polymeric matrix can be reused

Encapsulation of Cardamom Essential Oil in Chitosan Nano-composites: In-vitro Efficacy on Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens and Cytotoxicity Studies

“…While studying the interaction of cardamom oil with CS scaffolds, the materials were subjected to FTIR analysis. CS powder shows characteristic peaks that were in accordance to previously reported spectra ( Khan et al, 2002 ; Vitali et al, 2006 ). The results of FTIR indicated that cardamom oil might be encapsulated into the CSNPs.…”

Development of Cefotaxime Impregnated Chitosan as Nano-antibiotics: De Novo Strategy to Combat Biofilm Forming Multi-drug Resistant Pathogens

“…Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy spectrum of chitosan showed resemblance with an already reported spectra for this biopolymer ( Khan et al, 2002 ; Qi et al, 2004 ; Vitali et al, 2006 ). Spectrum of cefotaxime raw material was also in accordance with previously reported spectrum for this cephalosporin drug ( Hammood et al, 2011 ).…”

Spray-dried chitosan microspheres containing 8-hydroxyquinoline -5 sulphonic acid as a new adsorbent for Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions

“…Additionally, the complexing agent can be easily changed or recovered, widening the possibilities of experimental conditions. This is mainly attributed to complexing agents which are not covalently bonded, and, consequently, the ligand is not rigidly attached to the adsorbent [8,9]. Chitosan is an excellent support, extensively used in the microencapsulation of drugs [10].…”
