Summary: | [Display omitted]
Magnetic compounds, based on magnetite nanoparticles and interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) were prepared from chitosan (CS) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfate) (NaPSS). Two types of composite were obtained: one with positive surface charge and another one with negatively charged surface. The composites were used to adsorb a cationic drug (tetracycline hydrochloride, HTCCl) and an anionic one (sodium cromoglycate, NaCG). Sorption occurred in the form of multiple layers, tending to a saturation value (following Sips isotherm), with saturation sorption concentrations of ca. 0.2 mmol of drug per gram of composite for HTCCl on both positively and negatively charged composites, probably due to the protonation of chitosan by HTCCl. In the case of the anionic drug, it was adsorbed with the same intensity on the composite of opposite charge, while for the composite with negative charge saturation occurred at a value of ca. 0.05 mol per gram of composite. Gibbs free energy of adsorption for dilute solution conditions was estimated, ranging from ‒17 to −3 kJ/mol, and the analysis of thermal degradation kinetics of composites, using the isoconversional approach, indicated that magnetite decreased apparent energy of activation (with values reaching 400 kJ/mol) for the degradation of the organic phase. |
