Interaction between Chitosan and Uranyl Ions. Role of Physical and Physicochemical Parameters on the Kinetics of Sorption

Abstract: This work corresponds to the first part of our studies on the interactions between chitosan particles dispersed in water and uranyl ions. The measurements were obtained by ICP, and we considered the role of various physical and physicochemical parameters related to chitosan. We showed that the crystallinity, the particle dimensions, and the swelling in water of chitosan are parameters which are connected together and govern the kinetic laws of metal diffusion and sorption. The molecular mobility of the polymer… Show more

“…Both biopolymers are chemically similar to cellulose, differing only from the R group attached to carbon 2 of the general carbohydrate structure. Thus, N-acetyl (NHCOCH 3 ) groups are disposed in chitin, amine (NH 2 ) groups in chitosan, and hydroxyl (OH) groups in cellulose. The repeating unit of this structure is exhibited below.…”

“…According to Piron and Domard (1997), who studied the uranium adsorption into different types of chitosans, the adsorption capacity increases with the average degree of acetylation (DA). The DA measures the percentage of amino groups available in the chitosan chain and is one of the main parameters that affect the adsorption properties.…”

“…Chitosan has been broadly used for the sorption of heavy metal ions (Coughlin and Deshaies et al, 1990;Udaybhaskar and Iyengar et al, 1990;Jansson and Guibal et al, 1996). Further physical and chemical modifications of chitosan have been made to improve the selectivity and the capacity for metals ions (Kumar and Majeti, 2000;Guibal and Jansson et al, 1995;Piron and Accominoti et al, 1997;Choong and Wolfgang, 2003). Chitosan is also characterized by weak diffusion properties: long contact times are required to reach equilibrium.…”
