RESUMEN
To rapidly remove dyes from wastewater, iron-based metal-organic frameworks modified with phenolated lignin (NH2-MIL@L) were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. Analyses of the chemical structure and adsorption mechanism of the NH2-MIL@L proved the successful introduction of lignin and the enhancement of its adsorption sites. Compared with NH2-MIL-101-Fe without phenolated lignin, the modification with lignin increased the methyl orange (MO) adsorption rate of NH2-MIL@L. For the best adsorbent, NH2-MIL@L4, the MO adsorption efficiency in MO solution reached 95.09% within 5 min. NH2-MIL@L4 reached adsorption equilibrium within 90 min, exhibiting an MO adsorption capacity of 195.31 mg/g. The process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Dubinin-Radushkevich model. MO adsorption efficiency of NH2-MIL@L4 was maintained at 89.87% after six adsorption-desorption cycles. In mixed solutions of MO and methylene blue (MB), NH2-MIL@L4 achieved an MO adsorption of 94.02% at 5 min and reached MO adsorption equilibrium within 15 min with an MO adsorption capacity of 438.6 mg/g, while the MB adsorption equilibrium was established at 90 min with an MB adsorption rate and capacity of 95.60% and 481.34 mg/g, respectively. NH2-MIL@L4 sustained its excellent adsorption efficiency after six adsorption-desorption cycles (91.2% for MO and 93.4% for MB). The process of MO adsorption by NH2-MIL@L4 followed the Temkin model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, while MB adsorption followed the Dubinin-Radushkevich model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and synergistic interactions affected the MO adsorption process of NH2-MIL@L4.

Cellulosic hydrogels are widely used in various applications, as they are natural raw materials and have excellent degradability. However, their poor mechanical properties restrict their practical application. This study presents a facile approach for fabricating cellulosic hydrogels with high strength by synergistically utilizing salting-out and ionic coordination, thereby inducing the collapse and aggregation of cellulose chains to form a cross-linked network structure. Cellulosic hydrogels are prepared by soaking cellulose in an Al2(SO4)3 solution, which is both strong (compressive strength of up to 16.99 MPa) and tough (compressive toughness of up to 2.86 MJ/m3). The prepared cellulosic hydrogels exhibit resistance to swelling in different solutions and good biodegradability in soil. The cellulosic hydrogels are incorporated into strain sensors for human-motion monitoring by introducing AgNWs. Thus, the study offers a promising, simple, and scalable approach for preparing strong, degradable, and anti-swelling hydrogels using common biomass resources with considerable potential for various applications.
