Collagen polymer and magnetic collagen nanocomposite recycled from waste to reduce polluted water toxicity

Abstract

The public concern for industrial pollution is urging for an economical solution to remove industrial effluent that increases the risk of human cancers. Currently, there are a few successful techniques implemented for dye removal; however, little has been done in the field of using reusable biological material extracted from waste. We propose a new procedure to fabricate biocompatible magnetic collagen for dye removal. Our study was conducted on crystal violet (CV) removal from industrial effluent using fish scales collagen. In this study, removal of dye by adsorption on various types of collagen was studied using soft, coarse and magnetic collagen nanocomposite. The magnetic collagen nanocomposite was synthesized by coprecipitation method followed by mixing of iron nanoparticles with collagen. Characterization of the prepared materials was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Soft collagen, coarse collagen and magnetic collagen nanocomposite were proved to adsorb crystal violet dye at concentrations up to 1000 ppm. Uptake capacity was 92% at 100 ppm of CV while cytotoxicity was reduced to 15%. The ability of collagen and magnetic collagen nanocomposite to adsorb the dye and thus reducing the polluted water cytotoxicity, as well as accumulating under the action of the magnetic field was proved experimentally.

Collagen Biopolymer in Textile Wet Processing

“…[33] Removal of water pollutants with collagen Synthetic dyes supplanted animal and plant dyes in the early twentieth century for use in colour items such as cloth, dyeing, printing, pharmaceuticals, paper manufacture, leather, edibles, and medicine, resulting in a vast volume of coloured effluent. [34] The public's concern over industrial pollution is driving calls for a cost-effective technology to remove industrial wastewater, which raises the risk of human cancer. There are now a few effective dye removal procedures in use; however, little has been done in the field of employing reusable biological material derived from the garbage.…”

[34] Natural polymer-based hydrogels are gaining popularity since they are biodegradable, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. Hydrogels are water-swellable polymer networks that can absorb and hold a substantial amount of water without disintegrating.…”
