Simultaneous Degradation

Abstract In this work, the photoelectro-Fenton system was evaluated as an alternative for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim at unmodified pH by using citric acid present in extracts from a natural source as organic residues (orange and lemon peels). The addition of natural citric acid showed an efficient degradation of the antibiotics similarly to the efficiency by adding commercial reagent citric acid. The observed high efficiencies and rate constants are attributed to the increment of ferrous ion in the solution due to the fast conversion of iron form its ferric to ferrous state leading to the Fenton reaction and so increasing the hydroxyl radicals production. Although the addition of citric acid present in the extracts slightly increases the organic matter of the solutions, the degradation of the antibiotics was achieved simultaneously and efficiently, converting the photoelectro-Fenton process with the addition of natural citric acid into an alternative ecological system and sustainable for water contaminated with pharmaceutics. Additionally, the high biodegradable character and low ecotoxicity of the treated solutions were determined by a modified Zahn Wellens test and a bioassay with D. magna, respectively. Finally, simultaneous degradation of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim was reached after only 45 min of treatment in which the antibacterial activity was completely eliminated, suggesting that degradation products do not represent any environmental risk nor human health.

The Impact

Purpose This study aims to use multi-functional viscose fabric that was facilely developed with with respect to ease and care characteristics, reinforcement effect and antibacterial activity by using novel echo friendly antibacterial finish based on citric acid/sodium hypophosphite and the authors’ previously tailor-made poly meth acrylic acid (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer via alternative microwave curing approach instead of traditional high-temperature cure one. Design/methodology/approach Viscose fabric was paddled twice in the cross-linking formulations containing different concentrations of citric acid, poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer and sodium hypophosphite to 90 % wet pick up and dried at 100°C for 3 min in an electric oven. Then, the treated fabrics were placed on the disk spinner of the microwave oven and cured at different power (100–800 Watt) for various durations (60–180 s). The fabric was then water-rinsed and dried at ambient condition before use. Findings Results revealed that the above echo friendly method for finished viscose fabrics was found to achieve relatively high dry wrinkle recovery angle and maintain the loss in tensile strength within the acceptable range, as well as antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, respectively; in addition to durability up to ten washing cycles. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope images, nitrogen content and add on % of the finished fabric confirmed the penetration of grafted chitosan inside the fabric structure. The tentative mechanism for these reactions is advocated. Originality/value The novelty addressed here is undertaken with the advantages of using citric acid as a nonformaldehyde, safe and cheap poly carboxylic acid as a crosslinking agent and sodium hypophosphite as a potential catalyst, in addition to the authors’ noncitable multifunctional echo friendly tailor-made poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer for imparting reinforcement and antibacterial characteristics to viscose fabric that uses the pad-dry/cure microwave fixation for progressively persuaded heat within the fabric during curing. Research limitations/implications This was done to see the impact of microwave as green and efficient tool with respect to reduction in organic solvents, chemicals and exposer time as well as fixation temperature on the finishing reaction in comparison with traditional pad-dry-cure method. Practical implications Poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer as amphoteric biopolymer was expected to impart multifunctional properties to viscose fabrics especially with comparable dry wrinkle recovery angle and minimize the loss in tensile strength in addition to antibacterial properties in comparison with untreated one.

Polyaniline(PANI) doped by natural acid(citric acid, salicylic acid or rosin acid)solutions was synthesized using aniline as monomer and ammonium peroxydisulfate ((NH4)2S2O8) as oxidant. The antibacterial activities of the PANI against Gram positive bacteria(Bacillus megatherium, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus and Staphylo-coccus aureus) and Gram negative bacteria(Bacillus coli) were investigated. It was shown that PANI doped by citric acid possessed the better antibacterial activity against the selected species of Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria than PANI doped by rosin acid. PANI doped by salicylic acid exhibited ascendant antibacterial activities against Gram positive bacteria, but it has little antibacterial activity against the Gram negative bacteria.

Bacterial cellulose, produced by Acetobacter xylinum, is an interesting material for using as a wound dressing since it provides moist environment to a wound resulting in a better wound healing. However, bacterial cellulose (BC) itself has no antibacterial activity to prevent wound infection. To achieve antibacterial activity, chitosan were impregnated into bacterial cellulose by cross linking reaction using citric acid as cross linker. The thickness, water and saline absorption capacity, water vapour transmission rate (WVTR), mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of composite were investigated. The result show an important increase in absorption capacity when BC was treated with citric acid and chitosan and the maximum value was reached at 21.5 gig in DM water and 8.2 gig in salinesolution}. The WVTR analysis of all the test membranes was found to be less than WVTR value of control without sample. The result also showed that bacterial cellulose-citrate-chitosan (BC-AST) exhibited antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. typhi, P. aeruginosa and S. aureusKeywords: Antibacterial, bacterial cellulose, citric acid, chitosan, wounddressing.

Abstract Medical textiles are one of the most rapidly growing parts of the technical textiles sector of the textile industry. This work was developed for biocompatible materials of curcumin / TiO2 nanocomposite fabricated on the surface of cotton fabric for medical applications. Cotton fabric was pretreated with three crosslinking agents namely, citric acid, Quat-188, and GPTMS. Applying nanocomposite on modified cotton fabric using pad-dry cure method. The chemistry and morphology of modified fabrics are examined by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the chemical mechanism for nanocomposite modified fabric was reported. UV protection (UPF) and antibacterial properties against Gram - positive S. aureus and Gram - negative E. coli bacterial strains were investigated. The durability of fabrics to 20 washing cycles was also examined. Results demonstrated that nanocomposite modified cotton fabric exhibited superior antibacterial activity against Gram - negative bacteria that Gram - positive bacteria and excellent UV protection properties. Moreover, good durability was obtained, possibly due to the effect of the crosslinker used. Among the three pre-modification of cotton fabric, Quat-188 modified fabric reveals the highest antibacterial activity comparing with citric acid or GPTMS modified fabrics. This outcome suggested that curcumin / TiO2 nanocomposite Quatt-188 modified cotton fabric could be used in biomedical textile as antibacterial properties.
