Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biocomposite aerogels, and specifically relates to a starch-based aerogel, its preparation method and uses, which belongs to the field of aerogels. Background Technology
[0002] Aerogels exhibit significant advantages in the adsorption of heavy metal ions (HMIs) due to their unique three-dimensional porous structure and large specific surface area. Common HMI adsorption aerogels include silica aerogels (adsorption capacity 50-200 mg g / g). -1 ), carbon aerogel (200-300 mg g) -1 ) and biomass aerogels (200-500 mg g) -1 Among them, natural biomass materials exhibit excellent adsorption performance for HMI, possessing advantages such as large adsorption capacity, strong selective adsorption capacity for different HMIs, and easy regeneration after acid desorption. Therefore, the development of bio-based composite aerogels with both high adsorption capacity and selectivity is of great significance for the practical treatment of HMI pollution.
[0003] Based on this, this invention starts with molecular structure design, using starch (HPS) and k-carrageenan (k-CA) as the gel matrix, and introduces EDTA-Ca as the adsorption functional unit to prepare a starch-based composite hydrogel (SKE hydrogel). Further, its aerogel (SKE aerogel) is prepared using a freeze-drying method to achieve efficient HMI adsorption. By controlling the EDTA-Ca content (10-50 wt.%), the crosslinking density and HMI binding sites are effectively controlled, thereby improving the structural stability and adsorption capacity of the aerogel. The adsorption of Cu by SKE aerogel is demonstrated. 2+ Taking an example, by fitting a kinetic model and an adsorption isotherm model, the main adsorption mechanism of SKE aerogel was confirmed. This invention aims to provide experimental basis for designing starch-based materials with high HMI adsorption performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing starch-based composite aerogels and their application in heavy metal adsorption. This invention provides some assistance for the adsorption of HMI content in traditional Chinese medicine and seafood in the future, expands the application potential of biomass materials, and provides some reference for the design of similar functional materials.
[0005] This invention includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of starch gelatinization solution Add HPS to distilled water and stir for a period of time to make a gelatinized solution. After the gelatinization is complete, store it at high temperature for later use. (2) Preparation of starch-based composite hydrogel Add disodium calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA-Ca) and k-CA to the gelatinization solution and stir until the film-forming solution is completely defoamed; cast the composite solution onto a culture dish and let it stand at room temperature to obtain the composite hydrogel.
[0006] Preparation of starch-based composite aerogel Starch-based composite hydrogels were dried to obtain starch-based composite aerogels; In step (1), the starch is one or more of potato starch, corn starch, pea starch, purple sweet potato starch, and rice starch, and its mass is 2 to 20 g. In step (1), the gelatinization temperature during the heating process is 60-120℃, the heating rate is 0.1-10 K / min, the stirring rate is 100-800 rpm, and the gelatinization time is 10-300 min. In step (2), the mass of EDTA-Ca is 0.2–20 g, the mass of k-CA is 2–20 g, and the solid content is 5–90%. In step (2), the reaction temperature is 60-200℃, the heating rate is 1-10 K / min, the stirring rate is 100-800 rpm, and the reaction time is 10-500 min. In step (3), the drying method is freeze drying or supercritical drying, followed by freezing in liquid nitrogen for 1 to 10 minutes, and finally freeze drying at -80 to -20°C for 1 to 10 hours.
[0007] This invention provides a starch-based composite aerogel, prepared according to the above method.
[0008] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned starch-based composite film in heavy metal adsorption. Specifically, CuSO4 is accurately dissolved in distilled water to prepare 0.5–5 g / L of the film. -1 Ionic solutions of CuSO4 were prepared in concentrations ranging from 1 to 1000 ppm by dilution. The absorbance of CuSO4 solutions of different concentrations at a wavelength of λ = 559 nm was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. A reference curve for the UV absorption spectrum of the CuSO4 solution was plotted by data fitting, with the fitting equation being Abs = 0.00583C + 0.0223. SKE aerogel was added to the prepared CuSO4 solutions as an adsorbent and oscillated at 100 rpm. The adsorption capacity of the SKE aerogel was calculated by measuring the absorbance of the remaining CuSO4 solution at the same wavelength and comparing it with the reference curve of the CuSO4 solution. All adsorption experiments were repeated three times, and the average value was taken.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in the fact that the starch-based composite aerogel prepared by this invention is obtained from biodegradable materials HPS and k-CA. Specifically, the synergistic effect of HPS and EDTA-Ca on HMI enables the composite membrane to possess high sensitivity, achieving high sensitivity for Cu. 2+ The highly efficient adsorption provides a new approach for the adsorption of heavy metal ions in traditional Chinese medicine and seafood.
[0010] The present invention does not involve high-energy-consuming processing methods in the preparation of composite aerogels, and the process is simple and easy to industrialize.
[0011] This invention utilizes the complexation effect between HPS and EDTA-Ca to make the matrix more tightly connected, without chemical crosslinking, and has good thermodynamic properties and low cost.
[0012] This invention realizes the full-chain application of starch-based gel materials in the field of HMI management, namely "detection before removal".
[0013] This invention incorporates the traditional detoxifying drug EDTA-Ca, expanding its future market applications. Attached Figure Description
