Understanding Mechanism of Adsorption in the Decolorization of Aqueous Methyl Violet (6B) Solution by Okra Polysaccharides: Experiment and Theory.

ABSTRACT: Optimal conditions for ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polysaccharide from Chinese okra were found using response surface methodology. The okra polysaccharide (OPS) was used for the adsorption of methyl violet 6B (MV). Conditions for maximal adsorption efficiency of MV were established. The mechanism of MV adsorption was investigated by the characterization and physicochemical analysis of OPS before and after the adsorption of MV. Both infrared (IR) analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation suggest that MV adsorption by OPS was an electrostatic interaction between MV and oxygen-containing groups of OPS. Further, the results of first-principles calculation were in agreement with IR spectroscopy measurements and MD simulation, which were all consistent with the suggested adsorption mechanism. Optimization of okra extraction conditions, maximized efficiency of MV adsorption by OPS, and the understanding of the adsorption mechanism are the highlights of this work, providing a reference for promising applications of OPS in the treatment of wastewater in textile, paper, and other industries.

Project description:Polysaccharides have recently attracted growing attention as adsorbents for various pollutants, since they can be extracted from a variety of renewable sources at low cost. An interesting hydrophilic and biodegradable polysaccharide is dextran (Dx), which is well-known for its applications in the food industry and in medicine. To extend the application range of this biopolymer, in this study, we investigated the removal of crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) dyes from an aqueous solution by Dx-based cryogels using the batch technique. The cryogel adsorbents, consisting of cross-linked Dx embedding a polyphenolic (PF) extract of spruce bark, were prepared by the freeze-thawing approach. It was shown that the incorporation of PF into the Dx-based matrix induced a decrease in porosity, pore sizes and swelling ratio values. Moreover, the average pore sizes of the DxPF cryogels loaded with dyes further decreased from 42.30 ± 7.96 μm to 23.68 ± 2.69 μm, indicating a strong interaction between the functional groups of the cryogel matrix and those of the dye molecules. The sorption performances of the DxPF adsorbents were evaluated in comparison to those of the Dx cryogels and of the PF extract. The experimental sorption capacities of the DxPF cryogel adsorbents were higher in comparison to those of the Dx cryogels and the PF extract. The DxPF cryogels, particularly those with the highest PF contents (sample DxPF2), demonstrated sorption capacities of 1.2779 ± 0.0703 mmol·g-1, for CV, and 0.3238 ± 0.0121 mmol·g-1, for MB. The sorption mechanisms were analyzed using mathematical models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms, and kinetic models, like pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), Elovich and intra-particle diffusion (IPD). The sorption process was best described by the Sips isotherm and PSO kinetic models, indicating chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. This study outlines the importance of developing advanced renewable materials for environmental applications.
