Hybrid Composite Based on Magnetite/ Chitosan for 2,4-D and Chrysoidine Removal

Abstract

In this study, magnetite nanoparticles, chitosan, and a hybrid composite of magnetite/ chitosan were prepared through a simple method. The prepared materials were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Vibrating sample magnetometer, Laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and Zeta potential. Then, the adsorption capacity of these materials for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and chrysoidine removal were also determined in the same condition. Prepared materials have the ability to adsorb selectivity with 2,4-D and chrysoidine. There results show the potential application of hybrid composite magnetite/chitosan in developing efficient adsorbent in low cost in the field of environmental treatment.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers Based on Chitosan for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Removal

“…A maximum adsorption capacity of 2,4-D equal to 16.92 mg/g was found by Han et al by using a hybrid composite of magnetite/chitosan [ 58 ]. Nonetheless, the results obtained in our work are promising as they evidenced that the synthesis of MIPs from acrylate-modified chitosan can be a viable and effective route for designing eco-friendly systems for 2,4-D removal.…”
