Abstract

The adsorption of two basic dyes, Basic Green 5 (BG5) and Basic Violet 10 (BV10), onto MCM-41 was studied to examine the possible effect of interactions between large adsorbates and MCM-41 on the pore structure stability of MCM-41 and the potential of MCM-41 for the removal of basic dyes from wastewater. The revolutions of surface characteristics and pore structure of MCM-41 induced by dyes adsorption were characterized based on the analyses of the nitrogen isotherms, the XRD patterns, and the FTIR spectra. It was experimentally concluded that when the effect of interactions between large dyes (such as BV10) and MCM-41 on the pore structure stability of MCM-41 was insignificant, MCM-41 might be a good adsorbent for the removal of basic dyes from wastewater. The adsorption of BV10 on MCM-41 with respect to contact time, pH, and temperature was then measured to provide more information about the adsorption characteristics of MCM-41. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was used to describe the kinetic data, from which some adsorption thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated.

Three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin composite as efficient adsorbent for uranyl ion removal from low-level radioactive wastewater.

The contamination of water resources by uranyl (UO22+) ions poses significant environmental and health risks, requiring the development of efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. Adsorption-based techniques have emerged as promising approaches in the field of UO22+ removal, but the design of cost-effective, high-capacity, and environmentally friendly adsorbents remains challenging. In this study, a three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin (nHAP@Ge) composite was synthesized through glutaraldehyde cross-linking, combining the structural stability of Ge with the high uranium affinity of nHAP. The optimized nHAP@Ge, with a nHAP:Ge mass ratio of 1:0.5, exhibited exceptional UO22+ removal efficiency (97 %), along with high adsorption capacity (364.03 mg/g). Systematic characterizations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods revealed that the porous structure and surface functional groups (-OH, Ca2+, and PO43-) of the material synergistically contributed to binding UO22+ species. Furthermore, the incorporation of nHAP into the Ge framework resulted in enhanced thermal stability while significantly improving the UO22+ adsorption performance. This work presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and recyclable strategy for the effective treatment of uranium-contaminated water, with potential applications in nuclear wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

Dual radiolabeling to study protein adsorption competition in relation with hemocompatibility.

Human fibrinogen (Fg) and albumin (HSA) were labeled with (3)H and (14)C, respectively. Dual counting allowed the adsorbed amount of the two proteins to be determined simultaneously. Single adsorption, adsorption of the two proteins in competition, but also exchange (substitution by molecules of the same nature) and displacement (desorption under the action of the other protein) experiments were performed on two model surfaces, glass and polystyrene (PS), as well as on pure polyvinylchloride (PVC-s) and on PVC from blood bag (PVC-b). As expected, the adsorbed amount of a single protein is higher on a hydrophobic compared to a hydrophilic surface. When the two proteins are adsorbed in competition, they are found in equal proportion on glass, while HSA is twice more abundant than Fg on PS and PVC-s and about six times more abundant on PVC-b. This trend is related to an increase of the water contact angle of the substrates. For PVC-b, the contact angle is affected by the presence of aliphatic components exposed at the extreme surface, as determined by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In exchange and displacement experiments, the first adsorbed molecules remain dominating on PS while they can be removed from glass. Given the known importance of HSA and Fg adsorption for the fate of materials placed in contact with blood, the method described in this paper may be used as a first approach to orient the design of surfaces with improved hemocompatibility.

Effective immobilization of subunit protein in mesoporous silica modified with ethanol.

Ethoxylated FSM-type mesoporous silica (folded-sheet mesoporous material) with a pore diameter of 6.2 nm (FSM6.2) remarkably enhances rigidly of the structure in aqueous solutions. The esterified material could be used successfully as an adsorbent to accommodate subunit protein, methemoglobin (Fe(3+)). Furthermore, methemoglobin (Fe(3+)) in the pores of ethoxy-FSM is maintained a peroxidase activity similar to the native, indicating methemoglobin retains its fore subunit structure in the pores of FSM6.2.
