An environmentally friendly and low-cost chitosan-containing polysaccharide (CP) composite ZIF-8/CP was designed and prepared based on the difficulty of separating the traditional adsorbent from the water phase. ZIF-8/CP was synthesized through in-situ growth approach. The physical, chemical and structure properties of ZIF-8/CP were determined through a series of characterization methods, including SEM, FT-IR and PXRD. The effects of touch time, pH, temperature, and coexisting ions on adsorption were assessed. In addition, kinetics, isotherms of adsorption and thermodynamics were examined. The data of isotherms for adsorption indicated that the adsorption of ZIF-8/CP on MG was similar to the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1428.57 mg/g. Moreover, the kinetic parameters were consistent with the pseudo- 2nd-order equation. Thermodynamic studies (ΔG < 0, ΔH > 0) demonstrated a heat-absorbing and spontaneous adsorption process. Our study reveals that ZIF-8/CP has good adsorption properties and environmental properties.

The presence of dyes in water is the most popular problem recently, so the current study was directed towards the synthesis of an effective material consisting of NiO and MWCNTs. The NiO/F-MWCNTs nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method after functionalization of MWCNTs using sulfuric acid and nitric acid and utilized as an efficient surface to adsorption of malachite green dye from polluted water. The nanocomposite sample was characterized using several techniques are X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), High- resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) analysis and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The analytical results showed that the prepared nanocomposite is of good crystalline nature with a particle size of 25.43 nm. A significant specific surface area was 412.08 m2/ g which indicates the effective impact of the nanocomposite in the adsorption of malachite green (MG) dye. On the other hand, the effect of adsorbent dose, temperature, acidic function and contact time on the adsorption efficiency of dye was studied. The kinetics of dye adsorption were also investigated employing two kinetic models, pseudo-first-order model and pseudo-second-order model. Finally, the thermodynamic functions were determined to identify the type of the reaction and the spontaneity of the process.

LC-MS/MS를 이용한 말라카이트 그린 유효성 검증결과 결정계수(R2)가 0.9996이상으로 높은 직선성을 보여주었으며 회수율은 어종에 따라 69.8%에서 93.9%범위를 보였다. 검출한계는 0.013 μg/kg, 정량한계는 0.038 μg/kg으로 CODEX의 가이드라인을 만족하였다. 수거된 어류 200건에서 말라카이트 그린을 분석한 결과, HPLC-DAD로는 1건이 검출되었으나, LC-MS/MS로 분석시 검출률은 18.5%였다. 본연구 결과, LC-MS/MS를 이용한 말라카이트 그린 분석법이 우리나라에서 많이 소비되는 담수어종에서 분석에 적합하며, 1건을 제외한 모든 시료에서 식품공전의 잔류허용기준 이하로 말라카이트 그린이 검출되어서 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 다만 식품공전의 검출한계 이하로 말라카이트 그린이 검출되는 빈도가 18.5%임을 볼 때, 지속적으로 감시하고 모니터링 할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
