Development of mesoporous polysaccharide/sol-gel composites with two different templating agents: Surfactants and choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents
Mesoporous sorbent composites, evolving from previous work on microporous composites of polyanionic polysaccharides were developed with the purpose of increasing the sorptive features of the materials. Using the widely successful classical surfactant micelle approach, it was observed, in this partic...

| description | Mesoporous sorbent composites, evolving from previous work on microporous composites of polyanionic polysaccharides were developed with the purpose of increasing the sorptive features of the materials. Using the widely successful classical surfactant micelle approach, it was observed, in this particular case, that the composites remained essentially microporous. The alternative consisted on the application of deep eutectic solvents (DES). The most common DES (choline chloride + neutral hydrogen bond donor), were tested because of their advantages over other possibilities such as imidazolium-based ionic liquids: lower cost, easy in-house preparation, safe constituents and water stability and solubility. Possible mechanisms underlying the observed mesoporosity were discussed. The surface area ranged between 76 and 267 m2/g and the average pore size was in the range 3–5 nm. DES had not a negative effect on synthesis yields and, in the case of fucoidan, composites bearing a higher content of the biopolymer were produced. As a consequence and in line with the initial expectations these new composites revealed highly enhanced Pb (II) sorptive features comparatively to their microporous predecessors: chondroitin sulfate composites - up to a 5 fold capacity enhancement; fucoidan composites- up to a 3.5 fold capacity enhancement. The highest capacity was observed for the fucoidan composite prepared with choline chloride-ethyleneglycol DES, 79 mg Pb (II)/g, which is slightly above the highest value (77 mg Pb (II)/g) found in the literature for Pb (II) sorbents based on polysaccharides, sol-gels or their composites. |
