Crystal violet dye sorption and transport in/through biobased PVA cryogel membranes

Abstract: Cryogels based on poly(vinyl alcohol) [PVA] and three types of bioinsertions such as scleroglucan, cellulose microfibers, and zein, respectively, have been prepared using capacity of PVA to crosslink by repeated freezing-thawing cycles. The effect of the incorporation of biopolymers on the properties of PVA cryogel has been studied by using several techniques such as: scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared studies. The obtained biobased cryogel membrane… Show more

“…The removal of MB by PVA/agar/maltodextrin steadily surged within the first 80 min before reaching the plateau, meaning that the equilibrium between the surface of composites and dye molecules was achieved. At the first stage, the high adsorption rate of MB on the PVA/agar/maltodextrin may be attributed to the more significant number of available active sites on the surface . After 80 min of adsorption, the significant occupation of MB molecules on the external surface may act as a barrier hindering the active sites and other MB molecules leading to slow adsorption rates .…”

“…Papancea et al . reported the fabrication of PVA hydrogel membrane incorporated with bioinsertion, that is, scleroglucan, cellulose, and zein . The resulting membranes exhibited adsorption capacity for MB following the order: PVA/scleroglucan (15.19 mg g −1 ) > PVA/cellulose (6.07 mg g −1 ) > PVA/zein (5.58 mg g −1 ).…”

“…Nanoparticles have also been used for the removal of dyes, including TiO 2 nanoparticles (which have been investigated for their sorption capacity and photocatalytic efficiency [ 22 ]) and hollow zein nanoparticles for the removal of reactive blue [ 23 ]. Polyvinyl alcohol membranes containing scleroglucan, cellulose microfibers, or zein have been used for the removal of crystal violet [ 24 ]. Zein is a degradable, inexpensive, by-product of corn, and it is therefore an attractive material for environmental applications [ 25 ].…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to modify the membranes via physical or chemical crosslinking. Physical crosslinking methods, such as heat treatment and freezing–thawing, can promote the formation of hydrogen bonds among the hydroxyl groups of PVA; this leads to a higher crystallinity content and decreased swelling of the PVA membrane. However, the physical crosslinks are not as strong or stable as chemical crosslinks .…”
