Description
Field of the Invention The present disclosure relates to adsorbent materials. In particular it relates to chemisorbant materials for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds.
Background of the invention UnWanted air pollutants can cause unWanted effects in many areas, often negative effects on human health & Wellbeing or cause damages to products & sensitive objects. Air pollutants in indoor environments can reach high concentrations and cause respiratory diseases, consequently, shortening life expectancy. Most air pollutants cause odors Which in tum may result in mental health issues. In advanced Wound applications, Wounds Will eventually give off a strong and unpleasant odor. The result is often that the patient suffers Worsened mental health. Air pollutants can also damage products and sensitive objects of high value. This problem is large Within art conservation Where air pollutants deteriorate Works of art.
An example of air pollutants are volatile organic compounds, VOCs. VOCs are typically defined as any compound of carbon, excluding: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates; Which participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions.
There are several adsorbent materials on the market Where activated carbon is the dominant solution in air pollutant and odor removal. Other solutions consist of silica, zeolite, and metal organic frameworks. HoWever, producers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental burden of their products Which has resulted in raW materials and carbon footprint being evaluated throughout the entire value chain. More efficient materials are needed to lower total environmental impact and lengthen the lifetime of products.
Summary of the invention Accordingly, the present invention preferably seeks to mitigate, alleviate or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies in the art and disadvantages singly or in any combination and solves at least the above mentioned problems by providing a porous material for adsorbing volatile organic compounds, VOCs, wherein the porous material is a solid dry porous material comprising a f1brous matrix of cellulose and inorganic carrier particles, and wherein an organic amine is attached to at least the inorganic carrier particles.
The combination of cellulose, inorganic carrier particles and the organic amine result in a solid and compliant material having high chemisorption performance, is non- or low-toxic and non-leeching.
A method for adsorbing VOCs is also provided.
Articles comprising the porous material are provided.
A method for producing the porous material is provided.
Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the appended and dependent patent claims.
Detailed description The porous material for adsorbing volatile organic compounds, VOCs, comprises a f1brous matrix of inorganic carrier particles and cellulose. An organic amine is attached to at least the inorganic carrier particles. The cellulose based porous material has a high adsorption capacity, is biobased and non- or low-toxic on surface contact, and low density, enabling efficient and low environmental impact VOC adsorption.
As described the porous material comprises a matrix of cellulose and inorganic carrier particles. The cellulose may be cellulose nanofibers (CNF) having a high aspect ratio. The CNF may have a width of from about 5 to about 20 nm. The CNF may have a length in the range of hundreds of nanometres to several micrometres. The cellulose may be sourced from a variety of known cellulose, or CNF sources.
As the porous material is cellulose based, the porous material may comprise more than about 10% dry weight. cellulose, such as CNF. The porous material may comprise from about 10% dry Weight cellulose to about 50% dry Weight cellulose. The cellulose and the inorganic carrier particles forrn a matrix of cellulose f1bres and inorganic carrier particles. The matrix is low density and has a high porosity such that the porous material may be considered a solid foam. The cellulose-inorganic particle matrix provides highly porous material through Which gas may pass. That is, the porous material displays high gas perrneability. High gas perrneability enables both improved VOC adsorption capacity and additional uses of the material Which Would not be possible With a solid, less perrneable material. A further advantage of the cellulose-based matrix is that the cellulose provides for a compliant solid porous material. The compliance of the solid porous material makes it especially suitable for various applications such as in packaging, in Wound care articles, sanitary articles etc. Where for example shock absorption and compliance is advantageous.
The porous material is a loW-density foam. The density of the porous material is less than 1 g/cm3. The density may be from about 0.01 g/cm3 to about 0.5 g/cm3. The density may be from about 0.05 g/cm3 to about 0.1 g/cm3, such as about 0.09 g/cm3.
The highly porous nature of the cellulose matrix enables the porous material to have improved insulation properties in comparison to other adsorbent material. Due to the pores the material, When in use, inherently comprises a large volume of air. The air is therrnally insulting. In addition to this, the compliance of the material combined With the air in the pores results in improved sound insultation properties.
A packaging foam may comprise, such as consist essentially of, the porous material. As the material may be dried in moulds of various size and shape, the packaging foam may be shaped to fit around an article. For example, the packaging foam may be shaped as a solid rectangle comprising a recessed portion for receiving a receiving an artwork.
The inorganic carrier particles are inorganic particles providing a high surface area to Which the organic amine may be attached. The inorganic carrier may be for example silica, clay, alumina. The inorganic carrier particle increases the rigidity of the porous material compared to an exclusively cellulose based matrix. The additional rigidity is especially advantageous to increase the usability of the material in various applications Where a solid, yet compliant material is desirable. The inorganic carrier particles are selected and/or activated such that an organic amine may be attached to their surfaces. Ideally, the inorganic carrier particles are silica. As described in the experimental section, silica has been shown to forrn a solid porous matrix With cellulose. Silica is particularly advantageous When combined With cellulose in the adsorbent material as the combination silica and cellulose is therrnally stable, and substantially heat resistant and fireproof The fibrous matrix of silica and cellulose has been shoWn to char When subjected to suff1cient heat, the charring forrning an insulating layer thus limiting or restricting combustion of the material.
The porous material may comprise more than about 5% dry Weight inorganic carrier particles. The porous material may comprise from about 10% to about 50% dry Weight inorganic carrier particles. The porous material may comprise from 20% to 30% dry Weight inorganic carrier particles, such as about 25%. The porous material may comprise cellulose and inorganic carrier particles at a ratio of from about 3:1 to about 1:1.
The organic amine is an organic molecule having at least one amine group. The organic amine has at least one alkane, alkene, alkyne, alkyl, or aryl group. Generally, the organic amine is a polyamine having multiple amine groups. The organic amine is preferably polyethylenimine (PEI). The organic amine, such as PEI, is attached to the surface of the inorganic carrier particles, such as silica particles. The organic amine may be attached to the cellulose present in the adsorbent material. PEI is especially suitable for chemisorption of VOCs.
It has been observed that on chemisorption of some VOCs, such as acetaldehyde, by PEI liquification may occur. That is, the PEI and VOC complex formed on adsorption undergoes liquification. The liquid formed may seep from a material and damage objects to Which the material is in contact. Advantageously, the cellulose, and in particular the capillary structure of the cellulose matrix, of the present porous material absorbs liquid formed after chemisorption of VOCs by PEI. The cellulose in the porous material thus absorbs liquid, and in particular liquified VOC-organic amine complexes.
Additionally, the porous material comprising PEI may undergo a colour change When exposed to VOCs. This function is provided by the PEI-inorganic carrier particle complex. Such a colour change enables the use of the porous material as an indicator of the presence of VOCs in an ambient environment.
Advantageously, the organic amine, such as PEI, provides an antibacterial and/or antimicrobial effect to the porous material. Such an antimicrobial effect is particularly advantageous in use as a Wound care or personal hygiene article.
The organic amine, such as PEI, may be present in an amount of greater than 1%, such as from about 1% to about 50%. The organic amine may be present in an amount of from about 10% to about 30%, such as about 30%.
The porous material may comprise additional additives, agents selected to improve the properties of the porous material. The porous material may comprise a cross- linker to cross-link and fix the organic amine Within the porous material. The cross-linker may form a chemically cross-linked organic amine, such as cross-linked polyethylenimine. The cross-linker may fix the organic amine to the inorganic carrier particles, may fix the organic amine to the cellulose, and may strengthen the cellulose. Ideally, a single cross-linking agent is selected Which provides each of the above cross- linking functions. The cross-linker may be provided in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 5% vol, such as from 1% to 5% vol. to an aqueous solution comprising a mixture of PEI and inorganic carrier particles, or an aqueous solution comprising a mixture of PEI, inorganic carrier particles and cellulose.
Where the concentrations in the above description are referred to as dry Weight the concentration refers to the dry mass of porous material. As the material is substantially dehydrated during production the concentration of any components provided in a liquid medium may be deterrnined based on their respective concentration in the liquid medium and the volume of liquid medium provided during production.
As described in the experimental section, the porous material is preferably formed via processing an aqueous mixture of the cellulose, inorganic carrier particles and organic amine. To promote the formation of the highly porous material the processing may comprise the step of adding a flocculant or a coagulant, or a cross-linker referred such as a Wet-strengthening agent.
A method for producing the porous material comprises providing cellulose, such as dry CNF, to a solution. Adding a solution comprising an organic amine, such as PEI, to the cellulose suspension. Mixing the cellulose and organic amine to form a homogenous mixture of cellulose and organic amine. Adding inorganic carrier particles, such as Silica, to the mixture. Mixing and Cooling, followed by treatment under Vacuum, the mixture of cellulose, organic amine, and inorganic carrier particles to forrn a solid foam material. Optionally, drying the solid foam material at a temperature of from about 60 °C to about 80 °C for 24 - 48 hours. Additional details of the method for preparing the solid foam can be found in the experimental section.
Experimental Section Preparatíon of porous adsorbent material The following describes a process for producing the porous adsorbent material. g dry mass of cellulose nanofibers, CNF, Were added to a flask With magnetic stirring. 7.14 g dry mass of PEI in 10 ml of MilliQ Water having a total mass of 17.14 g Were added to the receptacle under stirring. An additional 20 ml of MilliQ Water Was added to the receptacle. The mixture Was covered and stirred. The reaction mixture Was thereafter mixed in a reactor for about 2 hours.
To extract Water from the mixture, the mixture Was then centrifuged to separate the Water from the cellulose, silica, and PEI sediment.
The centrifuged mixture Was provided batchwise to a reactor and cooled. The formation of crystals Was obserVed and once the grain size of the mixture has increased the reactor is stopped, and the mixture Was poured into silicone moulds. The moulds Were freeze dried under Vacuum to form the solid foams. Optionally, the freeze-dried foams Were baked in an oVen at a temperature of from about 60 °C to about 80 °C for 24 - 48 hours.
Chemísorptíon performance The VOC chemisorption performance of the foams prepared With different concentrations of silica and PEI Were compared to the VOC adsorption properties of other materials. The chemisorption performance Was measured by placing a volume of the respective liquid in a chamber together With the porous material. The chamber Was sealed at room-temperature for 29 days to achieve 100% saturation.
