An original strategy is proposed here to design chitosan-based ion-imprinted cryo-composites (II-CCs) with pre-organized recognition sites and tailored porous structure by combining ion-imprinting and ice-templating techniques. The cryo-composites showed a tube-like porous morphology with interconnected parallel micro-channels, the distance between the channel walls being around 15 μm. Both the entrapment of a natural zeolite and the presence of carboxylate groups, generated by partial hydrolysis of amide moieties, led to II-CCs with controlled swelling ratios (25-40 g/g, depending on pH) and enhanced overall chelating efficiency (260 mg Cu/g composite). To point out the importance of introducing Cu recognition sites, sorption experiments using mixtures of Cu and other competing ions (Co, Ni, Zn or/and Pb) were also carried out. The higher values of selectivity coefficients obtained for the II-CCs compared to those of non-imprinted ones highlight the remarkable potential of our sorbents for decontamination of wastewaters and recycling of Cu ions.

Temperature-sensitive materials are increasingly of deep interest to researchers. Ion imprinting technology is widely used in the field of metal recovery. In order to solve the problem of rare earth metal recovery, we designed a temperature-sensitive dual-imprinted hydrogel adsorption product (CDIH) with chitosan as the matrix, N-isopropylacrylamide as a thermally responsive monomer, and La and Y as the co-templates.

Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Technology & Systems (Ministry of Education), Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China.

Heavy metals are important sources of environmental pollution and cause disease in organisms throughout the food chain. A localized surface plasmon resonance sensor was proposed and demonstrated to realize Ni detection by using ion-imprinted chitosan. Au nanoparticles were coated on the multimode fiber to excite the local surface plasmon resonance, and Ni-imprinted chitosan was then functionalized by using the dip coating technique.

Water-Recyclable Chitosan-Based Ion-Imprinted Thermoresponsive Hydrogel for Rare Earth Metal Ions Accumulation.

Hainan Provincial Fine Chemical Engineering Research Center, Hainan University, Haikou 570228, China.

The demand for rare earth metal increases rapidly in the modern high-tech industry and therefore the accumulation of rare earth metal ions from an aqueous environment becomes a significant concern worldwide. In this paper, a water-recyclable chitosan-based La-imprinted thermoresponsive hydrogel (CLIT) was prepared to accumulate La from solution. The CLIT was characterized by DSC, FITR, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and SEM, which revealed obvious reversible thermosensitivity and imprinted sites of La ions.

The ion/molecular imprinting technique is an efficient method for developing materials with high adsorption selectivity. However, it is still difficult to obtain an imprinted adsorbent with desirably high selectivity when the preparation processes are not well designed and optimized. In this present work, a chitosan-based ion-imprinted adsorbent was optimally prepared through Box-Behnken experimental design to achieve desirably high selectivity for Pd anions (PdCl ) from aqueous solutions with high acidity.

Ion-imprinting strategy was utilized in the development of UO(II) imprinted amidoxime modified chitosan sorbent (U-AOCS) that can selectively remove UO(II) from water. First, cyanoactic acid was linked to the chitosan -NH groups and then the inserted -CN groups were converted into amidoxime moieties, which chelate the UO(II) ions and then the polymer chains were cross-linked by glyoxal. The UO(II) ions have been then eluted leaving their matching recognition sites.
