Cyclodextrin-silica hybrid materials: synthesis, characterization, and application in pesticide aqueous removal.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Overusing and misusing pesticides, including paraquat (PQ), have led to numerous environmental contamination complications. PQ is an emerging bio-accumulative contaminant that is present in environmental aqueous matrices. Adsorption techniques are part of a set of technologies applied in ecological remediation, known for their high effectiveness in removing aqueous PQ. A study of the PQ adsorption capacity of three cyclodextrin-silica nanocomposites (α-CDSi, β-CDSi, and γ-CDSi) from contaminated waters is presented in this paper.

Methods

The cyclodextrin-silica nanocomposites were synthesized via an esterification reaction between the inorganic matrix and cyclodextrins (CDs) (α, β, and γ) and were characterized physicochemically by spectroscopic, thermal, and su
