Hydrophobic ZIF-8 nanoparticles loaded on chitosan for improved methanol adsorption from fermented wine
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have great potential for the adsorption of minor molecular alcohols in the vapor phase. However, the drawbacks of powdered MOFs, including low recyclability and problematic separation, limit their application in fermented wine. Chitosan (CS) is a low-cost, eco-friendly, moldable matrix used in the food industry. In this study, a novel CS@ZIF-8 adsorbent with excellent microporous surface area was successfully synthesized by incorporating hydrophobic ZIF-8 into CS. The results showed that CS@ZIF-8 beads had a high adsorption affinity for methanol at a Zn 2+ /2-methylimidazole molar ratio of 1:5. The adsorption mechanism of methanol on CS@ZIF-8 beads was systematically studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, isotherms, and kinetics. The Langmuir model calculated the maximum adsorption of methanol to 56.8 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics are consistent with pseudo-second-order models. Furthermore, CS@ZIF-8 beads presented excellent recyclability for removing methanol for five consecutive cycles. It could treat 60 bed volumes of Chinese yellow wine in column filtration experiments to make the concentration below 50 mg/L. In summary, the highly efficient CS@ZIF-8 adsorbent has great potential for methanol adsorption from fermented wines. Practical Application Methanol will exhibit adverse symptoms such as weakness and headaches after it is ingested. Therefore, methanol control is an important safety factor in the production of fermented wine. The adsorption method is recognized as a widely used technique due to its high efficiency and selectivity. The CS@ZIF-8 adsorbent synthesized in this paper provides a new idea for methanol removal.
