An efficient and reusable adsorbent, namely 3-mercaptopropionic acid modified tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) grafted MnFe2O4 nanoparticles (MPA-TEOS-MnFe2O4 NPs) was synthesized and used for the extraction and preconcentration of trace amount of Al (III) and Cr (III) ions in water samples. MnFe2O4 NPs were prepared by chemical c...

Monoliths functionalized with ethylene diamine-derived ligands were synthetized within micro-sized channels as highly permeable catalytic supports for the immobilization of in-situ generated gold nanoparticles. The as-obtained hybrids, essentially differing on grafted amine-containing compared, notably regarding immobilized nanoparticles morphology and their dispersion at monolith pore surface....

Supported amines are considered as adsorbents to replace aqueous amines for carbon capture and for CO(2) capture/conversion into chemicals. Here, amines are grafted to SiO(2) or Ti-SiO(2) by using aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) or (3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-tert-butylcarbamate (TESPtBC) and then removing the carbamate group introduced by the latter by mild heating to 'deprotect' the amine. S...

This paper reports the evaluation of adsorbing Cr (VI) ions on sorbent prepared from chitosan (CHT), a versatile derivative of chitin, and dodecyl amine modified locally available kaolinite clay (Bijoypur clay) (MC) that has excellent mechanical properties and great resistance to chemical and biological attack. The effect of the initial metal ion concentration, solution pH, contact time, and ad...

A mixed amine pyridine polydentate Fe(II) complex was covalently tethered in hexagonal mesoporous silica of the MCM-41 type. Metal site isolation was generated using adsorbed tetramethylammonium cations acting as a patterned silanol protecting mask and trimethylsilylazane as a capping agent. Then, the amine/pyridine ligand bearing a tethering triethoxysilane group was either grafted to such a p...

In an effort to design biomaterials that may promote repair of the central nervous system, 3-dimensional scaffolds made of electrospun poly lactic acid nanofibers with interconnected pores were fabricated. These scaffolds were functionalized with polyallylamine to introduce amine groups by wet chemistry. Experimental conditions of the amination protocol were thoroughly studied and selected to i...

A cellulose polymer functionalized with an amine chelating agent was designed and synthesized in a three-step process that involved oxidizing powder into dialdehyde cellulose, reacting phenyl biguanide to create imine linkage between the two reactants, reducing amine. The cross-linked glycerol digycidyl ether evaluated as adsorbent of toxic metal ions from wastewater. adsorption efficiency towa...

Nanomaterials are promising tools in water remediation because of their large surface area and unique properties compared to bulky materials. We synthesized an organosilica nanoparticle (OSNP) and tuned its composition for anionic dye removal. The adsorption mechanisms are electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding between the amine on OSNP and the dye, and the surface charge of the OSNP can...

Abstract 4-Nitrophenol is a highly toxic environmental pollutant. It challenge to selectively remove it from mixture of various pollutants. Herein, we report study on the selective adsorption 4-nitrophenol by using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The polymer was synthesized cellulose as framework, onto which, complex imprinting molecule (i.e., 4-nitrophenol) and candidate material [namel...
