ABSTRACT
In this study, sulfonated starch (SS) was successfully synthesized using sulfamic acid as a sulfonating agent in a deep eutectic solvent (DES). Four-factor and three-level orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal preparation conditions, which were found to be a molar ratio of starch to urea of 120, a reaction temperature of 90 °C, a reaction time of 5 h, and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The sulfonation reaction mechanism was extensively studied using various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, molecular weight, particle distribution, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and DFT calculations. The results showed that the sulfonation reaction slightly damaged starch granules, occurred on the surface of starch granules, and on the O6 atoms of the glucose unit. SS exhibited a wide pH range of application (5-10), a fast adsorption rate (400 s to reach adsorption equilibrium), and a high adsorption capacity (118.3 mg/g) under optimal conditions. The adsorption process of SS for methylene blue followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and was consistent with the Langmuir model, which was endothermic and spontaneous. The adsorption process was attributed to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.
