Abstract

The global discharge of dye-contaminated effluent into the environment has garnered considerable public attention, and removing the organic pollutants from wastewater is of great importance. Durian shell, a major by-product of Asia countries, is one of the primary causes of environmental issues. To address these current issues, the development of efficient and eco-friendly biomass-derived catalysts that activate advanced oxidation processes (AOP) stands out as a crucial technology for treating organic pollutants in water. In this study, cobalt-doped biochar composites (CoC-n) were synthesized using solvothermal and calcination techniques, with durian shell biomass serving as the precursor material. The obtained CoC-n treated under various calcination temperatures analyzed via SEM, EDS, XRD, and FTIR techniques, which were used for efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for up to 92% and 58.98–74.30% RhB (25  and 75 mg/L, respectively) degradation in 30 min. The quenching test performed on the CoC-350/PMS system revealed that RhB degradation involves sulfate (SO4•−), hydroxyl (OH•), and singlet oxygen (1O2) in RhB degradation, with SO4•− and 1O2 being the primary components. The cobalt-doped biochar from durian shells is considered a novel and promising candidate for the eradication of dye-contaminated effluent applications.

Abstract

Previous work developed a thermosensitive hydrogel from chitosan (CS) and β-glycerophosphate (GP) loaded with diclofenac sodium (DIC) using a post-loading method. The hydrogel as a wound dressing exhibited burst release of DIC within 5 h, rendering it suitable for immediate anti-inflammatory treatment. For the first time, the in situ loading method has been applied to synthesize an injectable CS/GP hydrogel for prolonged DIC release. The optimal synthesis condition is at 1.0 w/v% CS (high molecular weight of 324 kDa) and 4.0 w/v% GP, yielding the hydrogel capable of sol-gel transition at 37 °C. The porous structure of the hydrogels is filled with DIC, ensuring efficient drug entrapment. The hydrogels demonstrate prolonged DIC release over 7 days, achieving a cumulative drug release (CDR) ranging from 62.39 to 80.51%. At an initial DIC loading of 3000 µg/mL, the hydrogel maintains a drug concentration above 10 µg/mL after 6 days of release. DIC release kinetics are temperature-dependent, with a higher CDR at 39 °C (simulating an inflammatory condition) than 37 °C (normal body temperature), and governed by drug diffusion and hydrogel network swelling. This study provides a novel approach for synthesizing an injectable temperature-responsive CS hydrogel for local anti-inflammatory DIC delivery.
