Cellulose fibers were chemically modified on surface by acrylamide polymerization and glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The chemical and morphological structures of modified cellulose fibers were investigated with X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectra, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline conformations of the cellulose fibers were slightly changed in polymerization and crosslinking process. The wet strength of modified cellulose fibers was improved. Appreciable difference between the surfaces of native and modified cellulose fibers was observed from SEM images.

Fluoroalkyl end-capped vinyltrimethoxysilane oligomer [RF-(CH2-CHSi(OMe)3) n-RF: n = 2, 3; RF = CF(CF3)OC3F7: RF-(VM) n-RF] was found to undergo the sol-gel reaction under alkaline conditions in the presence of chemically modified cellulose fibers treated with N-methylglucamine units ( MeGlu) [Cellu-fiber- MeGlu] and treated with iminodiacetic acid units ( ImDia) (Cellu-fiber- ImDia) to provide the corresponding fluorinated oligomeric silica/Cellu-fiber- MeGlu composites [RF-(VM-SiO3/2) n-RF/Cellu-fiber- MeGlu] and /Cellu-fiber- ImDia composites [RF-(VM-SiO3/2) n-RF/Cellu-fiber- ImDia], respectively. Dodecane and water contact angle measurements showed that these obtained composites can supply a superamphiphobic characteristic on their composite powders surface. The RF-(VM-SiO3/2) n-RF/Cellu-fiber- ImDia composites were applied to the packing material for the column chromatography to separate the mixture of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon oils. In addition, the RF-(VM-SiO3/2) n-RF/Cellu-fiber- ImDia composites were found to have more effective removal ability for fluorinated aromatic compounds than that for the corresponding non-fluorinated ones from aqueous methanol solutions. Interestingly, it was demonstrated that the RF-(VM-SiO3/2) n-RF/Cellu-fiber- MeGlu composite powders are also applicable to the fabrication of liquid marbles, which are millimeter-sized liquids such as water, glycerine, ethylene glycol and dodecane stabilized by the adsorbed composite powders at air-liquid interfaces.

Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was chemically modified with grafting maleic anhydride (MAH) monomer on its backbone by melting blending. Nano-particles SiO2 was modified by cationic surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) and added to PE coating respectively. Measurement of membrane potential showed that the coating containing modified SiO2 nano-particles had characteristic of ion selectivity. The properties of the different coatings were investigated according to relative industrial standards. Experimental results indicated that PE coating with ion selectivity had better performances, such as adhesion strength, cathodic disbonding and anti-corrosion, than those of coating without ion selectivity. Crystal structure of the coatings before and after alkali corrosion was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Structure of the coating without ion selectivity was damaged by NaOH alkali solution, causing mechanical properties being decreased. And the structure of the ion selective coatings was not affected.

Four naturally occurring zeolites were examined to verify their assignments as chabazites AZLB-Ca and AZLB-Na (Bowie, Arizona) and clinoptilolites NM-Ca (Winston, New Mexico) and NV-Na (Ash Meadows, Nevada). Based on powder X-ray diffraction, NM-Ca was discovered to be mostly quartz with some clinoptilolite residues. Treatment with concentrated HCl (12.1 M) acid resulted in AZLB-Ca and AZLB-Na, the chabazite-like species, becoming amorphous, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. In contrast, NM-Ca and NV-Na, which are clinoptilolite-like species, withstood boiling in concentrated HCl acid. This treatment removes calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, aluminum, and iron atoms or ions from the framework while leaving the silicon framework intact as confirmed via X-ray fluorescence and diffraction. SEM images on calcined and HCl treated NV-Na were obtained. BET surface area analysis confirmed an increase in surface area for the two zeolites after treatment, NM-Ca 20.0(1) to 111(4) m2/g and NV-Na 19.0(4) to 158(7) m2/g. 29Si and 27Al MAS NMR were performed on the natural and treated NV-Na zeolite, and the data for the natural NV-Na zeolite suggested a Si:Al ratio of 4.33 similar to that determined by X-Ray fluorescence of 4.55. Removal of lead ions from solution decreased from the native NM-Ca, 0.27(14), NV-Na, 1.50(17) meq/g compared to the modified zeolites, 30 min HCl treated NM-Ca 0.06(9) and NV-Na, 0.41(23) meq/g, and also decreased upon K+ ion pretreatment in the HCl modified zeolites.

The utilization of waste-paper-biomass for extraction of important α-cellulose biopolymer, and modification of extracted α-cellulose for application in enzyme immobilization can be extremely vital for green circular bio-economy. Thus, in this study, α-cellulose fibers were super-magnetized (Fe3O4), grafted with chitosan (CTNs), and thiol (-SH) modified for laccase immobilization. The developed material was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), HR-TEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HR-TEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. Laccase immobilized on α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs (α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase) gave significant activity recovery (99.16%) and laccase loading potential (169.36 mg/g). The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase displayed excellent stabilities for temperature, pH, and storage time. The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase applied in repeated cycles shown remarkable consistency of activity retention for 10 cycles. After the 10th cycle, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs possessed 80.65% relative activity. Furthermore, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase shown excellent degradation of pharmaceutical contaminant sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The SMX degradation by α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase was found optimum at incubation time (20 h), pH (3), temperatures (30 °C), and shaking conditions (200 rpm). Finally, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase gave repeated degradation of SMX. Thus, this study presents a novel, waste-derived, highly capable, and super-magnetic nanocomposite for enzyme immobilization applications.
