Development of novel amino-ethyl chitosan hydrogel for the removal of methyl orange azo dye model

Abstract The present study introduces a new and straightforward method for the amination of Chitosan. This method involves coupling Chitosan (CS) with 2-chloroethylamine (ENH2) in a single step to produce an amino-ethyl Chitosan derivatives with increased amine group content (CS-ENH2) using click ch...

description Abstract The present study introduces a new and straightforward method for the amination of Chitosan. This method involves coupling Chitosan (CS) with 2-chloroethylamine (ENH2) in a single step to produce an amino-ethyl Chitosan derivatives with increased amine group content (CS-ENH2) using click chemistry. The resulting derivatives were then crosslinked using Glutaraldehyde to form amino-ethyl Chitosan Schiff bases. The novel amino-ethyl Chitosan Schiff bases were subsequently utilized as adsorbents for the removal of Methyl Orange (MO) dye from aqueous solutions using a batch technique, and the performance of the produced Schiff bases was compared with that of the native Chitosan Schiff base. The CS-ENH2 adsorbents show improved adsorption capacity up to 300% of the native Chitosan Schiff base with almost double removal rate. The adsorption temperature has a positive impact in general while almost 100% of MO removed at 60 °C using CS-ENH2 adsorbents compared with 66% of the native Chitosan Schiff base adsorbent. The adsorption pH shows a negative impact on the MO removal percent. That effect reduced sharply using the CS-ENH2 adsorbents with higher amination degree while the MO removal percent almost being constant over a wide range of pH; 2.0–7.0. The agitation speed has the same positive effect over all the adsorbents. However, the rate of MO removal percent decreased with increase the agitation speed up to 250 rpm. The experimental findings demonstrated that the highest percentage of MO dye removal was achieved under the conditions of pH 2.0, a temperature of 60 °C, agitation speed of 250 rpm, and adsorption duration of 90 min. These Schiff bases were subsequently characterized using advanced analytical techniques including Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Thermal analysis (TGA and DSC), and Scanning Electron Microscopy.
