Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) grafted with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC), containing quaternary ammonium contents of 0.44 (QCNF-1), 1.47 (QCNF-2), and 2.28 (QCNF-3) meqg(-1), were evaluated as flocculants for the removal of Reactive Orange 16, an anionic azo dye, from aqueous solution. A rotatable and orthogonal central composite design was used to examine the performance of QCNFs under a range of experimental conditions. Removal efficiencies at the centre point of the design space were found to be 236.9±7.8, 254.2±3.8, and 264.6±2.8mgg(-1) for QCNF-1, QCNF-2 and QCNF-3, respectively. The highest removal efficiency, 295.1mgg(-1), was observed when using QCNF-3 at a low monovalent salt concentration. The QCNF reported herein provides a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to traditional synthetic flocculants for the decolorization of dye-containing effluents.
用氯代三甲铵(GTMAC)接枝的纤维素纳米纤维(CNF),其季铵含量分别为 0.44(QCNF-1)、1.47(QCNF-2)和 2.28(QCNF-3)meqg(-1),被评估为从水溶液中去除阴离子偶氮染料活性橙 16 的絮凝剂。采用可旋转和正交中心组合设计来研究 QCNFs 在一系列实验条件下的性能。在设计空间中心点的去除效率分别为 QCNF-1 为 236.9±7.8、QCNF-2 为 254.2±3.8 和 QCNF-3 为 264.6±2.8mgg(-1)。当在低单价盐浓度下使用 QCNF-3 时,观察到最高的去除效率为 295.1mgg(-1)。本文报道的 QCNF 为传统合成絮凝剂提供了一种可持续和可生物降解的替代品,用于含染料废水的脱色。
