Abstract

Chitosan microspheres were applied to remove the pollutants diclofenac and dipyrone from water. Adsorption studies were adjusted to Langmuir equation. The maximum number of adsorbed moles gave 5.25 × 10−4 and 4.83 × 10−4 mol of diclofenac and dipyrone, respectively, per gram of chitosan microspheres. The interactions in solid/liquid interface were calorimetrically followed and gave endothermic values: +22.1 ± 1.3 and +48.7 ± 1.5 kJ mol−1, respectively, for the same sequence. Both Gibbs energy values were negative. Adsorption processes were accompanied by an increase in entropy. These interactions were studied by FTIR spectroscopy which showed a strengthening of the CN stretching (dislocated shifts from 1,325 to 1,371 cm−1) related to a weakening of the NH stretch caused by the interaction with drugs.
