In situ reductive regeneration of zerovalent iron nanoparticles immobilized on cellulose for atom efficient Cr(vi) adsorption

Abstract: Zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) (11.8±0.2% w/w) immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose (C-nZVI) were synthesized and studied for Cr(VI) sorption. The material showed good atom economy for Cr(VI) adsorption (562.8 mg/g of nZVI). Oxidation of cellulose to cellulose dialdehydeleads to in-situ regeneration of nZVI which is responsible for the atom efficient Cr(VI) sorption by C-nZVI.

“…Furthermore, the biodegradability of naturally occurring nontoxic biopolymers renders them suitable agents for surface modification, as well as stabilization of various nanoparticles. Several plant‐derived components, such as guar gum, chitosan, starch, xanthan gum, riboflavin, cellulose, agar–agar, and Pluronic F‐127, have been used for the stabilization of nZVI particles.…”

“…Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectrum confirms the presence of carbon (C), iron (Fe), and oxygen (O) of synthesized nanocomposites CI‐IO‐1, 2, 3, and 4 as shown in the inset of FESEM images. X‐ray diffraction ( XRD) pattern confirms the formation of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and immobilization on microcrystalline cellulose, sharp reflections at 2θ = 15.92 and 22.49 for a crystalline‐I form of cellulose [ 73 ] and 2θ = 30.00, 36.00, 43.19, 50.32, 61.39, and 73.91 having planes (220), (311), (400), (422), (440), and (620), respectively, for Fe 3 O 4 in powder X‐ray diffraction (Figure 2a) pattern. [ 74,75 ] The thermal stability of MCC and CI‐IO‐3 nanocomposite (Fe 3 O 4 immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose) were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that was carried out under inert conditions at rt up to 600°C with a constant heating rate of 10°C min −1 (Figure 2b).…”
