We demonstrate here that lignin can be successfully combined with silica to create a multifunctional material with considerable sorption capabilities. Experiments were carried out in which a silica/lignin hybrid was used for the removal of lead(II) ions from water solutions. Adsorption kinetics were also determined and preliminary regeneration tests were performed. The effectiveness of the adsorption process depends on the following parameters: contact time of adsorbent and adsorbate (equilibrium times: 5 min for concentration 25 mg/L, 10 min for 50 and 75 mg/L, 60 min for 100 mg/L), pH (optimal pH = 5) and adsorbent mass. The kinetics of the adsorption of lead(II) ions on the SiO2/lignin biosorbent are best described by a pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption isotherms of lead(II) ions were also determined. The experimental data were found to be in agreement with the Langmuir model, and the maximal sorption capacity of the adsorbent with respect to lead(II) was 89.02 mg/g.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/chitosan (CS) composites were synthesized via a one-step co-precipitation method from aqueous solution, with the use of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4). CS was obtained via partial deacetylation of chitin with the use of strong sodium hydroxide solution. Composites were prepared with various HAp/CS ratios (30/70, 50/50, 70/30, 85/15) for comprehensive comparison of their properties. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis showed that hydrogen bonds were formed between the organic matrix and the mineral compound, confirming a successful phase interconnection. X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained, enabling examination of the crystalline properties of the composites, including HAp identification. The porous structure parameters of the composites were investigated, and morphological analysis (SEM) was performed. Differential Thermal Gravimetry (DTG) analysis of the composites indicated that the material is thermally stable up to 200 oC. Additionally, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the mineral was carried out to check the Ca/P ratio, and confirmed its similarity to pure HAp.

Novel SiO2/silane/POSS functional hybrids have been synthesized via an immobilization method. Hybrid materials were obtained through a connection of emulsion silica with defined dispersive and morphological properties with (3-isocyanatepropyl)triethoxysilane and selected mono- or octasubstituted POSS compounds in organic solvent. Modification effectiveness of the obtained SiO2/silane/POSS hybrid systems was confirmed with the use of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In order to determine the influence of bifunctionalization on coverage degree of the selected POSS compounds, elemental analysis (C, H, N contents) was performed. Moreover, parameters of porous structure of the obtained products were determined: BET surface area, total volume and mean size of pores. During analysis the thermal stability of silsesquioxanes cage, unmodified silica support, and hybrid systems have been investigated. For this purpose dispersive and morphological characterization (particle size distribution and TEM images) was performed.
