This new adsorbent was used for the removal of Cu2+ and Pb2+ heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. The chemical and structural characteristics of the adsorbent were determined using FT-IR, 13C CP-MAS NMR, SEM, EDX and TGA analysis. The adsorption parameters, such as pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature were optimized. Adsorption kinetic parameters were fitted into pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The kinetic data fitted well to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms such as Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms have been investigated. Thermodynamic parameters have also been evaluated. The negative values of △G0 and △H0 reveal that the adsorption system is spontaneous and exothermic in nature. The modified cellulose was challenged with microorganisms as a function of contact time. The biocidal results showed that the chemically modified cellulose has bactericidal effect against the bacterial species.展开更多

One such attempt was to synthesize poly(azomethine ester)s with a pendent group. In this study, the newly synthesized diacid monomer benzalaniline 3’-4’dimethoxy terepthalic acid was condensed with two diol monomers to get the polymers with pendent benzylidene group. The diacid monomer was characterized by UV, IR, NMR and CHNS analysis. The polymers were characterized by IR, TGA, and for liquid crystalline property. Polymer-I showed the highest thermal stability upto 335°C. Polymer-II exhibited liquid crystalline nature along with good solubility and thermal stability.展开更多
