Synthesis of modified spent tea for aspirin adsorption in aqueous solution

This present study focuses on the synthesis of a new modified eco-friendly adsorbent, spent tea (ST, discarded Camellia sinensis leaves), and its application in the adsorption of Aspirin from aqueous solution by batch adsorption technique. This is an effort in shifting towards new substitutes that a...

Synthesis of modified spent tea for aspirin adsorption in aqueous solution
description This present study focuses on the synthesis of a new modified eco-friendly adsorbent, spent tea (ST, discarded Camellia sinensis leaves), and its application in the adsorption of Aspirin from aqueous solution by batch adsorption technique. This is an effort in shifting towards new substitutes that are both inexpensive and highly efficient, such as agricultural waste materials as an alternative of the commonly used adsorbent material, activated carbon. The ST will first undergo an acid treatment using phosphoric acid, and subsequently modified with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) using Glutaraldehyde (GA) as the cross-linker. Aspirin removal efficiency was compared between the untreated spent tea (ST) and new PEI modified acid treated spent tea (TA-PEI). Effects of ratio of acid treated spent tea (TA) and PEI (1:1, 1:2,1:3, 2:1,3:1), and GA concentration (0,0.5,1.0,2.0,3.0, and 4.0 v/v%) were investigated. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of the modified adsorbent, TA-PEI are TA: PEI ratio of 1:2, and 0.5(v/v %) of GA.
