β-Cyclodextrin Polyurethanes Copolymerized with Beetroot Fibers (Bio-Polymer) to Clean-Up Water Polluted by Organics and Spilled-Oil.
Author(s): Jamil Rima and Karine AssakeraJamil Rima and Karine Assakera
Spilled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), oils and dyes on water surface involve a big environmental risk. The clean-up of such pollutants consist a challenge from economic and environmental points of view. The absorbent of oils or PAH must have buoyancy, high uptake ratio oil/water, reusable and biodegradable. In this study, β-Cyclodextrin polymerized with beetroot fibers (Bio-polymer), was prepared and applied to remove oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and dyes from water. The Bio-polymer was prepared by copolymerization of beetroot with β-cyclodextrin polyurethane at 70°C. The prepared new material was characterized by means of granulometry, Scanning Electronic Microscopy and FTIR. The investigation into the use of cross-linked cyclodextrin polyurethanes with beetroot fibers as adsorbents for organic pollutants showed sign.. View More»
