This study characterizes organic flocculant polyacrylonitrile-dicyandiamide (PAN-DCD) and demonstrates its effectiveness in decolorizing dyes. It reveals chemical and hydrophobic interactions responsible for dye binding, crucial for water treatment applications.

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Organic flocculants are vital for water treatment.
  • Polyacrylonitrile-dicyandiamide (PAN-DCD) is a promising organic flocculant.
  • Understanding dye-flocculant interactions is key to optimizing decolorization processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the structure of PAN-DCD using spectroscopic methods.
  • To investigate the decolorization efficiency of PAN-DCD on aqueous dyes.
  • To elucidate the binding mechanisms between PAN-DCD and dye molecules.

Main Methods:

  • Infrared (IR) spectroscopy
  • Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy
  • Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C NMR) spectroscopy

    • Main Results:

    • PAN-DCD possesses polar (triazine, carboxyl, amidine, carbonamide) and non-polar (methylene) groups.
    • PAN-DCD effectively decolorized dyes under acidic conditions.
    • Weak chemical interactions (ionic bonding) and hydrophobic interactions were observed between PAN-DCD and dyes.
    • Urea addition significantly reduced the binding constant between PAN-DCD and dye KN-R.

    Conclusions:

    • PAN-DCD is a structurally characterized organic flocculant with effective dye decolorization capabilities.
    • The binding mechanism involves both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.
    • The binding affinity is dye-dependent and can be influenced by solution additives like urea.
