Investigation of adsorption and biosorption features of bio-functionalized poly(GMA-Co-EGDMA) polymer beads in the treatment of nicotine from tobacco industry

New Methyl Methacrylate Derived Adsorbents – Synthesis, Characterization and Adsorptive Removal of Toxic Organic Compounds

“…The linear regression was applied to calculate the isotherm parameters from the slopes and intercepts of the C e /q e vs C e , log q e vs log C e , q e vs ln C e and ln q e vs ϵ 2 plots (Q o =1/slope, b=slope/intercept, 1/n=slope, k F =10 intercept , b T =RT/slope, A=exp(intercept/slope), q m =exp(intercept), k DR =‐slope). The values of the determination coefficients (R 2 ) and Chi‐square (χ 2 ) were taken into account to determine which of the adsorption isotherm models describes the experimental data [14] . The parameters under discussion are presented in Table 3.…”

“…The values of the determination coefficients (R 2 ) and Chi-square (χ 2 ) were taken into account to determine which of the adsorption isotherm models describes the experimental data. [14] The parameters under discussion are presented in Table 3. The fitting of the experimental data to the Langmuir (Equation 7), Freundlich (Equation 8), Temkin (Equation 9) and Dubinin-Radushkevich (Equation 10) models is shown in Figure 8.…”

“…[12,13] The second group of adsorbents comprises natural materials such as silicates, clays, or natural zeolites. [14,15] The third group includes polymer-based adsorbents, [10,[16][17][18][19][20] and the fourth group consists of new adsorbents developed through modifications and the use of other materials.…”

“…[31] Recently, intensive research into the application of renewable and biofunctionalized polymeric materials has been carried out. Simsek et al [14] presented the new polymeric microspheres derived from 3aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) modified poly(GMA-co-EGDMA). Polymeric material was investigated for adsorption and biosorption of nicotine from aqueous solution.…”

“…Among the most important is activated carbon from various sources including those produced from agricultural, food, and industrial waste [12,13] . The second group of adsorbents comprises natural materials such as silicates, clays, or natural zeolites [14,15] . The third group includes polymer‐based adsorbents, [10,16–20] and the fourth group consists of new adsorbents developed through modifications and the use of other materials.…”
