Abstract
The development of carbon-based adsorbents for flavonoid purification has gained significant attention due to their high efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Derived from agricultural waste, such as fruit peels, husks, and stems, bio-adsorbents offer an eco-friendly approach to valorizing biomass. These materials are rich in carbon content and can be transformed into highly porous activated carbon through pyrolysis and chemical activation. Chemical activation methods, employing agents like phosphoric acid, zinc chloride, or potassium hydroxide, enhance the surface area, pore volume, and functional groups of the adsorbent, optimizing its adsorption capacity. Advanced carbon-based adsorption techniques leverage these properties to selectively bind flavonoids, benefiting from the high specificity and stability of the adsorbent. Adsorption mechanisms, including hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, play a crucial role in the effective capture of flavonoids. These processes are influenced by factors, such as surface chemistry, pore structure, and adsorbate properties, making carbon-based adsorbents a versatile and sustainable solution for purifying valuable bioactive compounds in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Separation Science (JSS) is the most comprehensive source in separation science, since it covers all areas of chromatographic and electrophoretic separation methods in theory and practice, both in the analytical and in the preparative mode, solid phase extraction, sample preparation, and related techniques. Manuscripts on methodological or instrumental developments, including detection aspects, in particular mass spectrometry, as well as on innovative applications will also be published. Manuscripts on hyphenation, automation, and miniaturization are particularly welcome. Pre- and post-separation facets of a total analysis may be covered as well as the underlying logic of the development or application of a method.
