Industrial wastewater containing dyes is a significant burden to the environment. Many physicochemical methods have been used to remove these compounds. An interesting solution is the use of sorbents of natural origin. This paper describes a method for obtaining sorbents in the form of composite granules formed from a 2% alginate solution with the addition of 2.81% solution of graphene oxide (GO). The possibility of using the obtained granules for removing cationic dyes (methylene blue, rhodamine B, toluidine blue, Victoria blue B) and anionic dyes (orange II, Congo red, methyl blue) was investigated. As a result of the research it was demonstrated that the chemical and structural composition of the dye has a decisive influence on its sorption on composite granules. In cationic dyes, the number and order of amino groups are responsible for the rejection. In anionic dyes, on the other hand, the rejection factor increases with the number of sulfone groups. The granules obtained in the experiment can be successfully used to remove cationic dyes, achieving high rejection values (~100%), most quickly and efficiently removing dyes containing one such group (toluidine blue). In the case of anionic dyes, the highest rejection values (~80%) were obtained for methyl blue, which has three sulfone groups.

Industrial wastewater contains heavy metals such as zinc, copper, lead, chromium, nickel, cadmium, arsenic, cobalt and mercury and is one of the types of sewage that negatively affect the environment. Metal ions can be removed using various types of sorbents. An interesting solution are polysaccharide-based sorbents. This paper presents research on the preparation and use of granules based on 2% alginate with the addition of 2.81% graphene oxide as sorbents of the following ions: Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+. Graphene oxide / alginate solutions, containing from 0.18% to 5.62% of GO, were prepared for the tests. Granules were formed by coagulating successive alginate solutions in 2.5% CaCl2 (Method 1). The possibility of introducing alginate solutions directly into solutions containing metal ions was also tested (Method 2). As a result of the study, it was observed that the use of ready-made sorbent (Method 1) allows the removal of ~ 30% of the contamination within 30 to 60 minutes. This method turned out to be the most effective for removing Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+ ions. The use of a simplified procedure (Method 2), on the other hand, allows the removal of all tested metal ions in amounts ranging from 5% (Cd2+) to 25% (Co2+).

This study aims at the immobilization and characterization of thermoalkalophilic lipases produced recombinantly from Bacillus thermocatenulatus BTL2 and Bacillus pumilus MBB03. For this purpose, immobilization of the produced enzymes in calcium-alginate@gelatin (Ca–Alg@gelatin) hydrogel beads, immobilization optimization and characterization measurements of the immobilized-enzyme hydrogels were conducted. Optimum temperature and pH values were determined for B. thermocatenulatus and B. pumilus MBB03 immobilized-enzyme hydrogels (60–70 °C, 55 °C and pH 9.5, pH 8.5). Thermal stability was determined between 65 °C and 60 °C of B. thermocatenulatus and B. pumilus MBB03 immobilized enzymes, respectively. The pH stability was determined between pH 7.0–11.0 at +4°C and pH 8.0–10.0 at +4 °C, respectively. In conclusion, the entrapment technique provided controlled production of small diameter hydrogel beads (~ 0:19 and ~ 0:29) with negligible loss of enzyme. These beads retained high lipase activity at high pH and temperature. The activity of Ca–Alg@gelatin-immobilized lipase remained relatively stable for up to three cycles and then markedly decreased. With this enzyme immobilization, it may have a potential for use in esterification and transesterification reactions carried out in organic solvent environments. We can conclude that it is one of the most promising techniques for highly efficient and economically competent biotechnological processes in the field of biotransformation, diagnostics, pharmaceutical, food and detergent industries.

Developing an effective and safe cancer therapy could significantly reduce the number of deaths and improve the quality of life of treated patients. Nowadays medicine has developed a wide range of anticancer chemotherapeutics but at the same time there is a lack of effective drug delivery methods. Therefore, the development of the targeted drug delivery system which will selectively release drug into the cancer cells is a key challenge of modern medicine. The main aim of the presented research was to investigate the targeting effect of a drug delivery system based on the controlled release of dextran nanoparticles containing the anticancer drug – doxorubicin from the alginate microspheres coated with chitosan multilayers. During the research the physicochemical properties of the alginate microspheres and its stability in the physiological environment were investigated. Moreover, the kinetics of the nanoparticles with doxorubicin release from the alginate microspheres covered with chitosan multilayers was characterized, depending on the thickness of the chitosan layer. Further, the cytotoxicity study of the alginate microspheres covered with chitosan multilayer and containing nanoparticles was performed to determine the therapeutic effect of the released nanoparticles with doxorubicin on the HeLa cells during the in vitro cell culture.

Cell encapsulation seems to be a promising tool in tissue engineering. However, it has been shown to have several limitations in terms of long-term cell cultures due to an insufficient oxygen supply. In this study we propose the use of novel microcapsules designed for long-term cell culture consisting of an alginate shell and perfluorocarbon (PFC) core, which works as a synthetic oxygen carrier and reservoir. The influence of PFC presence in the culture as well as the size of structures on cell metabolism was evaluated during 21-day cultures in normoxia and hypoxia. We showed significant improvement in cell metabolism in groups where cells were encapsulated in hydrogel structures with a PFC core. The cells maintained a typical metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation) through all 21 days of the culture, overcoming the oxygen supply shortage even in large structures (diameter ¡ 1 mm). Applying PFC in alginate matrices can improve cell metabolism and adaptation in long-term cell cultures.

ZnO, ZnO/Alginate coatings were obtained on the pre-anodized Ti6Al4V substrates by the thermal substrate deposition method (TSD). In the frame of this work, the TSD method was at first applied for obtaining ZnO coating from aqueous alginate-containing and alginate-free solutions on a metal surface. XRD, SEM analyses show that the biopolymer has a significant influence on the formation of the coating, their morphology, texture, structure of ZnO nanoparticles. The average rate of ZnO deposition from alginate containing solution is 30 μm/min, while from alginate-free solutions – 6 μm/min. In the presence of alginate, spherical particles with flower-shaped inclusions are formed, while from the polymer-free solution, single crystals in the form of tetrahedral were obtained. Zone of inhibition test against Gram-positive S. aureus ATCC 25923 and Gram-negative E. coli ATCC 25922 proves the antibacterial activity of the ZnO/Alg coatings.

Purpose: Alginate impression materials are the most commonly used masses for taking impressions. They are characterized by good relation of properties to the price. However, the main problem associated with use of the impression masses is dimensions stability. Manufacturers of alginate masses recommend storage impression without any source of moisture, but dentists frequently store impressions wrapped in a wet materials. This may be the a reason of changes in dimensions and other properties. Moreover, it is recognized, that casting the model in the soon after making impression guarantee better dimensional accuracy. However, models are made usually after 24h. For some masses producers claim unequivocally, that the impressions can be stored for up to 168 h without changing the dimensions. So in this study was investigates how storage conditions affect chosen properties of alginate mass, including the accuracy of the models. Design/methodology/approach: Samples were prepared according to the manufacturer instruction and divided into 5 groups. Measurements were made 20 min after taking the impression and after 24h/168h of storage with/ without the resource of moisture. The measurements of Shore A hardness, tensile strength, mass changes and dimensional changes were made. Accuracies of the dental stone models were investigated with models manufactured after 20 min and 168 h after impressions, in comparison to the master model. Findings: The study showed that the storage conditions and time of storage had influence on properties of alginate impression mass. The resource of moisture has got an influence on dimensions and mass changes, tensile strength, elongation and shore A hardness. The results show that the use of the resource of moisture may be a cause of unfavourable changes in the gypsum model dimensions. Research limitations/implications: The storing of the alginate impressions with the resource of moisture is commonly practiced by the doctors, but it inconsistent with the manufacturer's recommendation. Practical implications: The method storing of the alginate impressions determined not only the materials properties, but also the clinical properties of final products like dentures. Originality/value: The significant of the method of the storing of alginate impression materials on the chosen properties of the materials and the accuracy of the dental stone models were shown.

Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) has gained considerable attention in regenerative medicine over recent decades. It is widely used as a bone filler and constituent of various biomaterials. HA possesses high biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, bioactivity, and bioresorbability. There are many different synthesis methods for HA described in the available literature. It is worth noticing that even slight changes in pH, reaction conditions or chemical composition during synthesis, can influence biological, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of resultant HA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sintering temperature of hydroxyapatite on biological and physicochemical properties of biomaterial made of alginate and hydroxyapatite granules. Alginate/HA material was produced using HA sintered at temperature of 800oC and HA sintered at temperature of 1150oC. Microstructure of the fabricated biomaterials was visualized by SEM. Osteoblast growth on the composites was assessed using human foetal osteoblast cell line. Moreover, ion reactivity, plasma/serum protein adsorption ability as well as water/NaCl uptake capability of the biomaterials were compared. Obtained results demonstrated that although both biomaterials had the same chemical composition, composite comprising hydroxyapatite sintered at temperature of 1150oC had smoother surface, revealed lower ion reactivity, was more favourable to osteoblast growth, and adsorbed lower amount of fibrinogen (which is known to promote biomaterial-induced inflammatory response), compared to the material made of hydroxyapatite sintered at temperature of 800oC. Thus, the type of bioceramics used for the production of biomaterials should be tailored to their specific applications – bone fillers for primarily in vivo implantation or in vitro cell-seeded scaffolds.

The biosorption process of three divalent metal ions – nickel, lead and zinc- from on calcium alginate from aqueous solution was studied, in single component systems. The biosorbent were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The batch mode experiments of the adsorption process were carried out as a function of pH, initial metal ions concentration, sorbent dosage and contact time. The adsorption influencing parameters for the maximum removal of metal ions were optimized. The experimental data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Koble-Corrigan and Redlich-Peterson models. The kinetic data of biosorption process were evaluated using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order equations. The Weber and Morris model was employed to interpret the metal ions diffusion in biosorption process.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki prac laboratoryjnych poświęconych syntezie i badaniu możliwości wytwarzania form aplikacyjnych pochodnych polisacharydów celem poprawy możliwości praktycznego ich zastosowania. Jako surowców użyto trzech naturalnych polisacharydów – chityny, chitozanu i alginianu sodu. Modyfikacja chemiczna miała na celu nadanie produktom wyższej od substratów rozpuszczalności, a tym samym łatwiejszej ich aplikacji. Polegała ona na zwiększeniu hydrofilowości poprzez reakcję otrzymywania fosforowych pochodnych chityny, biguanidynowania chitozanu, wytworzenia kompleksów polielektrolitowych chitozan/alginian oraz utworzeniu kopolimerów kwas mlekowy/chitozan. W przedstawionych badaniach opisano opracowany sposób syntezy tych pochodnych oraz możliwości wytwarzania ich form aplikacyjnych. Budowę otrzymanych związków potwierdzono spektrofotometrycznie widmami w podczerwieni. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań nie odbiegają od wyników prezentowanych w literaturze. W części dotyczącej wniosków określono możliwości aplikacyjne otrzymanych pochodnych polisacharydów.

The article presents the results of laboratory experiments on the synthesis of polysaccharides derivatives to increase the possibilities of their practical application. As substrates to the synthesis have been used three natural polysaccharides- chitin, chitosan and sodium alginate. This article describes in detail the methods of synthesis of polysaccharide derivatives, i.a. the formation of phosphate derivatives, polyelectrolyte complexation of chitosan-alginate and formation of chitosan/alginate copolymers. The chemical modification would result in a higher solubility of products and therefore easier application of them. The structure of products (polysaccharides derivatives) was confirmed by spectrophotometry infrared spectra and the results of experiments carried out do not differ from the results presented in the literature. It allows to determine the possibility of application of these compounds and conducting further researches in the future.

Alloplastic bone substitute materials are raising some more interest as an alternative for autologic transplants and xenogenic materials especially in oral surgery over the last few years. These non-immunogenic and completely resorbable biomaterials are the basis for complete and predictable guided bone regeneration. In the majority of cases, such a material is chosen because of its convenient application by surgeons. The main objective of our project was to design and fabricate an osteoconductive, injectable and readily tolerable by human tissues biomaterial for guided bone regeneration. For this purpose, a self-setting composite consisting of chitosan/tricalcium phosphate microparticles and sodium alginate was made. The material obtained was characterized by microsphere and agglomerate morphology and microstructure. Its features relating to setting time and mechanical properties were precisely investigated. Our material was also evaluated according to PN-EN ISO 10993 Biological evaluation of medical devices, i.e., the in vitro tests for genotoxicity and cytotoxicity were conduced. Then, the following examinations were performed: subchronic systemic toxicity, skin sensitization, irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity and local effects after implantation. The material tested showed a high degree of cytocompatibility, fulfilled the requirements of International Standards and seemed to be a "user friendly" material for oral surgeons.

Celem niniejszej pracy była ewaluacja mikroenkapsułek otrzymanych z warstw alginianowo-chitozanowo-alginianowej (ACA) jako matrycy do unieruchamiania chondrocytów. Przygotowanie ACA mikroenkapsułek obejmuje przygotowanie kapsułek z alginianu wapnia, adsorpcji dodatnio naładowanego chitozanu na ich powierzchni, tworząc w ten sposób alginianowo-chitozanową membranę, i ostatecznie wytworzenie wierzchniej alginianowej warstwy. Zbadano własności otrzymanych mikrokapsułek, między innymi ich właściwości mechaniczne, porowatość i szybkość dyfuzji substancji małocząsteczkowej. Kapsułki alginianowe otrzymano za pomocą elektrostatycznej metody generowania kropli. Technika ta wykorzystuje wytłaczanie roztworu alginianu w połączeniu z siłami elektrostatycznymi, które zakłócają powierzchnię cieczy na końcu kapilary / igły, tworząc strumień małych kropelek. Prowadzi to do produkcji jednolitych kulek o małej średnicy.

The objective of this paper was to verify microcapsules obtained from alginate-chitosan-alginate (ACA) system as a matrix for chondrocytes immobilization. Preparation of ACA microencapsules includes formation of the calcium alginate beads, adsorption of a positively charged chitosane on their surface, to form alginate – chitosane membrane, and finally coating with alginate. Properties of obtained microcapsules, their mechanical properties, porosity and diffusion rate were investigated. Electrostatic droplet generation method was employed for microbeads production. This technique employs extrusion combined with electrostatic forces to disrupt a liquid surface at the capillary/needle tip, forming a charged stream of small droplets. This leads to the production of uniform small-diameter beads.
