Pectin and chitosan are biomaterials that capable to act as biosorbent. Pectin has active groups, such as carboxyl, methoxyl, and hydroxyl (OH), while chitosan has amine group (–NH2) and hydroxyl (OH) as the active site metal ion absorber. Integration of two biopolymers is conducted by using a suitable cross-linker agents that are expected to form stable and more organized structure. This structure facilitate metal ions to enter and to form chelation reaction. Thus, it has great capacity for metal adsorption. A modified natural adsorbent pectin-chitosan has been synthesized by reacting of -OH group among pectin (Pec) and chitosan with Poly(ethylene glycol) Diglycidyl Ether (PEGDE) crosslinker agent to form a stable and an acidic medium-resistance adsorbent. Prior to increasing the active group of the adsorbent, chitosan was attached with acetate to form Carboxymethyl Chitosan (CMC). Furthermore, the CMC-Pec-PEGDE adsorbent was imprinted with Pb (II) to afford Pb(II) imprinted-CMC-Pec-PEGDE adsorbent in order to improve the selective sorption of Pb(II) metal ion. All of the functional groups attached on the synthesized adsorbents were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometry. The kinetics and thermodynamics bath sorption of Pb(II) on Pb(II) imprinted-CMC-Pec-PEGDE film adsorbent have been investigated including the optimal condition for adsorption. The pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic model were investigated in order to determine the adsorption mechanism. The results indicated that all of the three adsorbent, CMC, CMC-Pec-PEGDE, and Pb(II) imprinted-CMC-Pec-PEGDE followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, adsorption studies of Pb(II) ion on CMC and CMC–Pec-PEGDE found to follow Langmuir adsorption while on imprinted-CMC-Pec-PEGDE followed Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm parameters of CMC and CMC-Pec-PEGDE adsorbents were ΔG° of 24.8 and 23.1 kJ mol-1, respectively. While Pb(II) imprinted-CMC-Pec-PEGDE followedisotherm model with ΔG° of 9.6 kJ mol-1.

TheN,O-carboxymethyl-chitosan (N,O-CMC) was used to investigate the adsorptions of two metals of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) ions in an mixed aqueous solution. The effects on adsorption capacities such as pH value, temperature, adsorbent dose and initial metal ion concentrations were investigated, and the dialysis method was applied to separate the materials after adsorption. The results revealed that the better adsorption ofN,O-CMC for Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) ions at the pH 7-8; the effect of temperature on the adsorption was not significant; the absorption of Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) ions was enhanced with the increase ofN,O-CMC amount; the adsorption capacity increasesed with the addition of the concentration of initial metal ions in the aqueous phase. The adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) ion in Cd-Pb mixed solution on theN,O-CMC was well followed as the Langmuir isotherm equation under the concentration range studied, and Cd(Ⅱ) ion was corresponding to Langmuir adsorption equation in 100-200 mg/L and 200-500 mg/L, respectively. Conclusion:N,O-CMC was suitable for adsorbent to removal Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) ions, but it can selectively adsorption ions from the mixed solution, the adsorption capacity (Qm) for two metal ions was as follows: Pb(Ⅱ) > Cd(Ⅱ).

To develop an effective pH-sensitive drug carrier, alginate (Alg), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs), and aminated chitosan (AmCs) derivatives were employed in this study. A simple ionic gelation technique was employed to formulate Alg-CMCs@AmCs dual polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) microcapsules as a pH-sensitive carrier for efficient encapsulation and release of diclofenac sodium (DS) drug. The developed microcapsules were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results clarified that formation of dual PECs significantly protected Alg microcapsules from rapid disintegration at colon conditions (pH 7.4), and greatly reduced their porosity. In addition, the dual PECs microcapsules can effectively encapsulate 95.4% of DS-drug compared to 86.3 and 68.6% for Alg and Alg-CMCs microcapsules, respectively. Higher DS-release values were achieved in simulated colonic fluid [SCF; pH 7.4] compared to those obtained in simulated gastric fluid [SGF; pH 1.2]. Moreover, the drug burst release was prevented and a sustained DS-release was achieved as the AmCs concentration increased. The results confirmed also that the developed microcapsules were biodegradable in the presence of the lysozyme enzyme. These findings emphasize that the formulated pH-sensitive microcapsules could be applied for the delivery of diclofenac sodium.
