Cellulose (CE) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were functionalized with highly fluorinated pendants, through a nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 3-pentadecafluoroheptyl-5-pentafluorophenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (FOX). leading to the corresponding fluorinated biopolymers CE-FOX and CMC-FOX. Structural and thermal stability confirmed covalent attachment of the fluorinated moiety onto the cellulosic skeleton and highlighted an interesting two-dimensional texture of the CMC-FOX material. Hybrid and amphiphilic features of CE-FOX and CMC-FOX, were confirmed by water and oil contact angle measurements (WCA/OCA). Applications as adsorbent material for organic contaminants from an aqueous solution was tested by previously incorporating the functional biopolymer into sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads. Rhodamine B (RhB) was used as a model wastewater pollutant. Fluoro-functionalization led to a three- to eightfold increase in the dye-removal efficiency of the SA-incorporated biopolymer with respect to the corresponding non-fluorinated material (from 11% to 48% for SA/CE vs SA/CE-FOX beads and from 11% to 94% for SA/CMC vs SA/CMC-FOX beads). Recyclability tests showed good residual performance of SA/CMC-FOX beads after seven desorption/reuse cycles opening the way to more sustainable adsorbing processes for the removal of emerging pollutants from contaminated water.","PeriodicalId":167,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
