    Synthesis and application of a new carboxylated cellulose derivative. Part I: Removal of Co2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from monocomponent spiked aqueous solution
    (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2016-12) Ferreira, Gabriel Max Dias; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Teodoro, Filipe Simões; Ramos, Stela Nhandeyara do Carmo; Elias, Megg Madonyk Cota; Mageste, Aparecida Barbosa; Gil, Laurent Frédéric; Gurgel, Leandro Vinícius Alves
    A new carboxylated cellulose derivative (CTA) was prepared from the esterification of cellulose with 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic anhydride. CTA was characterized by percent weight gain (pwg), amount of carboxylic acid groups (nCOOH), elemental analysis, FTIR, TGA, solid-state 13C NMR, X-ray diffraction (DRX), specific surface area, pore size distribution, SEM and EDX. The best CTA synthesis condition yielded a pwg and nCOOH of 94.5% and 6.81 mmol g−1, respectively. CTA was used as an adsorbent material to remove Co2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ from monocomponent spiked aqueous solution. Adsorption studies were developed as a function of the solution pH, contact time and initial adsorbate concentration. Langmuir model better fitted the experimental adsorption data and the maximum adsorption capacities estimated by this model were 0.749, 1.487 and 1.001 mmol g−1 for Co2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by using isothermal titration calorimetry. The values of ΔadsH° were in the range from 5.36 to 8.09 kJ mol−1, suggesting that the mechanism controlling the phenomenon is physisorption. Desorption and re-adsorption studies were also performed. Desorption and re-adsorption efficiencies were closer to 100%, allowing the recovery of both metal ions and CTA adsorbent.

    Chromium speciation using aqueous biphasic systems: Development and mechanistic aspects
    (Separation and Purification Technology, 2016-01-28) Patrício, Pamela R.; Cunha, Roselaine C.; Vargas, Silvia J. Rodriguez; Coelho, Yara Luiza; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da
    The two principal oxidation states of chromium diverge significantly in their biological and toxicological properties, and it is very important to distinguish between them. Develop procedures that are efficient, fast, easier and cheaper for chromium speciation is an analytical challenge. Chromium speciation was investigated using aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formed by polyethylene oxide (PEO1500) or a triblock copolymer (L64), an electrolyte (Li2SO4, Na2SO4, MgSO4, C6H5Na3O7, or C4H4Na2O6) and water, without the presence of any extractant. Cr(III) was favorably partitioned to the electrolyte-rich phase (ERP) of the ABS, whereas the Cr(VI) was preferentially concentrated in the macromolecule-rich phase (MRP) in most analyzed ABS. The fluorescence spectroscopy data revealed that the Cr(III) and Cr(VI) separation process is governed by specific interactions between the ethylene oxide segments in the macromolecules and the Cr(VI) species, which do not occur for Cr(III) species. The extraction percentage (%E) of chromium species from the ERP to the MRP was affected by pH, tie-line length (TLL), electrolyte nature, and macromolecule hydrophobicity. For the ABS comprising of PEO1500 + Na2SO4 + H2O, TLL = 50.89% (m/m), 25 °C and pH 2.0, the %E values for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 0.0100 and 99.9%, respectively. The speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) that was achieved in this ABS resulted in an excellent separation factor (SCr(VI),Cr(III)) of 1.00 × 10 8.

    Aqueous two-phase systems of copolymer L64 + organic salt + water: Enthalpic L64–salt interaction and Othmer–Tobias, NRTL and UNIFAC thermodynamic modeling
    (Chemical Engineering Journal, 2011-06-15) Andrade, Vivianne Molica de; Rodrigues, Guilherme Dias; Carvalho, Raquel Moreira Maduro de; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da
    Phase diagrams of two-phase systems (ATPS) composed by the triblock copolymer L64 + organic salt (sodium tartrate, sodium succinate, sodium citrate, or ammonium citrate) + water, at different temperatures (278, 288, and 298 K) are presented in this work. Contrary to behavior of ATPS formed by inorganic salts, the study of the temperature influence in the liquid–liquid equilibrium behavior of L64–organic salts ATPS showed an exothermic character for phase separation process. Microcalorimetric measurements showed that this phase separation energy is around −0.2 kJ mol−1 for all organic salts. The module of slope of tie line (STL) tends to increase with an increase in temperature. The cation nature effect showed that the salt Na3C6H5O7 was more effective in promoting phase separation than (NH4)3C6H5O7. The capacity of the different anions tested for inducing ATPS formation with L64 followed the order: C6H5O73− > C4H4O62− > C4H4O42−. Because the salt–L64 interaction energy to be very similar, the cation and anion effects on the phase separation could be attribute to a process driven by entropy. The interaction parameters of the NRTL and UNIFAC models were estimated through the experimental data of all ternary systems. The results of the NRTL (with 64 tie-lines) and UNIFAC (with 27 tie-lines) were considered excellent with global root mean square deviations, respectively, of the 1.04% and 0.87%. The consistencies of the all tie-line experimental compositions were improved by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation.

    Phase diagrams, densities and refractive indexes of poly(ethylene oxide) + organic salts + water aqueous two-phase systems: effect of temperature, anion and molar mass
    (Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2015-11-25) Rengifo, Andrés Felipe Chamorro; Ferreira, Gabriel Max Dias; Ferreira, Guilherme Max Dias; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da
    The application of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) at the industrial level requires systems formed by non-toxic substances to decrease the negative impact on the environment. Organic salts such as sodium citrate, sodium tartrate and sodium succinate have been utilized in order to fulfill this objective. In this work, ATPSs formed by poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, with molar mass 10,000 or 35,000 g mol^−1, organic salts and water, namely PEO10000 + sodium citrate + water, PEO10000 + sodium tartrate + water, PEO10000 + sodium succinate + water and PEO35000 + sodium citrate + water ATPSs at (283.15, 298.15 and 313.15) K have been studied. Effects of temperature, anion and polymer molar mass on the phase diagrams, as well as, the densities and refractive indexes of both phases of the ATPSs were evaluated. The segregation process was endothermic and entropically driven for all ATPSs. The biphasic region on the phase diagrams increased as the molar mass of PEO increased. In addition, the biphasic region also increased in relation to the anions studied: citrate > tartrate > succinate. The consistency of the tie-line data was ascertained by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation.

    Liquid–liquid equilibrium of aqueous two-phase systems composed of poly(ethylene oxide) 1500 and different electrolytes ((NH4 )2SO4 , ZnSO4 and K2HPO4 ): experimental and correlation
    (Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2011-06-15) Lemos, Leandro Rodrigues de; Patrício, Pamela da Rocha; Rodrigues, Guilherme Dias; Carvalho, Raquel Moreira Maduro de; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da
    Phase diagrams of aqueous two-phase systems composed of PEO1500 + salt (di-potassium phosphate + potassium hydroxide or ammonium sulfate or zinc sulfate) + water were determined at (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K. All systems produce a large two-phase region; however the influence of temperature on the binodal position seems to be very small. By analyzing the effects of ammonium sulfate or zinc sulfate, it was observed that zinc was more effective in promoting phase separation than ammonium. The consistency of the tie-line data was ascertained by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation. In this paper, aqueous two-phase systems data for nine ternary systems are correlated by using the NRTL model and UNIFAC for the activity coefficient. The results are very satisfactory, with root mean square deviations between experimental and calculated compositions as low as 0.99 and 1.21%, respectively. However the NRTL model better represents the systems in study, when compared with UNIFAC.

    Thermodynamics and optimization of norbixin transfer processes in aqueous biphasic systems formed by polymers and organic salts
    (Separation and Purification Technology, 2012-09-19) Mageste, Aparecida Barbosa; Senra, Tonimar Domiciano Arrighi; Silva, M. Carmo Hespanhol da; Bonomo, Renata Cristina Ferreira; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da
    Partitioning of the natural dye norbixin has been studied in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) that are formed by mixing aqueous solutions of a polymer (or copolymer) and an organic salt (sodium tartrate or succinate). In this work, the norbixin partition coefficient (KN) was optimized, taking into account the variables of polymer concentration, salt concentration and pH. It was found that KN is highly dependent on the electrolyte nature, system hydrophobicity and TLL values. Testing produced KN values between 8 and 130, indicating the great potential of ATPS as a method for norbixin pre-concentration/purification. Thermodynamic transfer parameters (ΔtrG, ΔtrH, ΔtrS) indicate that the preferential concentration of norbixin in the top phase is favored by enthalpic and entropic contributions.

    (Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2015-06-15) Patrício, Pamela da Rocha; Mageste, Aparecida Barbosa; Lemos, Leandro Rodrigues de; Carvalho, Raquel Moreira Maduro de; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da
    The phase diagrams of PEO1500 + sodium tartrate + water, PPO400 + sodium tartrate + water, PEO1500 + sodium succinate + water, PPO400 + sodium succinate + water, PEO1500 + sodium citrate + water, PPO400 + sodium citrate + water and PPO400 + sodium acetate + water aqueous two-phase systems were determined at (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K. Both equilibrium phases composition were analyzed by conductimetry and refractive index. In this paper, the influences of polymer hydrophobicity, salt nature and temperature on the phase diagram were analyzed. The phase separation processes was endothermic and the hydrophobic increase make easier the phase splitting, while the electrolyte capacity to induce phase separation follow the order: citrate > tartrate > succinate. The consistency of the tie-line data was ascertained by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL model for the activity coefficient, with estimation of new interaction energy parameters. The results, analyzed in terms of root mean square deviations between experimental and calculated compositions, were considered satisfactory.

    Aqueous two-phase systems: a new approach for the determination of p-aminophenol
    (Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2011-08-15) Rodrigues, Guilherme Dias; Lemos, Leandro Rodrigues de; Patrício, Pamela da Rocha; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Silva, Maria do Carmo Hespanhol da
    A new method has been developed for the spectrophotometric determination of p-aminophenol (PAP) in water, paracetamol formulations and human urine samples with a recovery rate between 94.9 and 101%. This method exploits an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) liquid–liquid extraction technique with the reaction of PAP, sodium nitroprusside and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pH 12.0, which produces the [Fe2(CN)10]^10− anion complex that spontaneously concentrates in the top phase of the ATPS (). The ATPS does not require an organic solvent, which is a safer and cleaner liquid–liquid extraction technique for the determination of PAP. The linear range of detection was from 5.00 to 500 μg kg^−1 (R ≥ 0.9990; n = 8) with a coefficient of variation of 2.11% (n = 5). The method exhibited a detection limit of 2.40 μg kg^−1 and a quantification limit of 8.00 μg kg^−1. The ATPS method showed a recovery that ranged between 96.4 and 103% for the determination of PAP in natural water and wastewater samples, which was in excellent agreement with the results of the standard 4-aminoantipyrine method that was performed on the same samples.

    Application of hydrophobic extractant in aqueous two-phase systems for selective extraction of cobalt, nickel and cadmium
    (Journal of Chromatography A, 2013-03-01) Rodrigues, Guilherme Dias; Lemos, Leandro Rodrigues de; Silva, Luis Henrique Mendes da; Silva, Maria C. Hespanhol da
    This work developed a new and efficient method of extracting and separating Co(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) composed of triblock copolymer (L64) + Na2C4H4O6 + water and L64 + Li2SO4 + water using the hydrophobic extractant 1-nitroso-2-naphtol, which complexes the metal ions and partitions in the triblock copolymer micelles in the ATPS top phase. Metal extraction from the salt-rich phase to the copolymer – rich phase is strongly affected by the fine-tuning of the following parameters: amount of added extractant, type of electrolyte, pH, and tie-line length. Excellent separation factors (Si,j) between the metals were obtained at pH = 3.00 (SCo,Cd = 1550 and SNi,Cd = 16,700) and pH = 1.00 (SCo,Ni = 826). In the interference study, Co(II) was selectivity extracted in the top phase in the presence of Ni(II) and Cd(II) in a concentration of up to 20 times the cobalt level in the system.
