Résumé

Herein we report the performance of cheaper, more efficient and eco-friendlier chitin (CN) and chitosan (CS) biopolymers supported Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs) catalysts (1.5 wt% Cu/CN) and (4.5 wt% Cu/CS) in the reaction model of para-nitrophenol (p-NP) reduction to para-aminophenol (p-AP) by NaBH4. The catalysts were synthetized with impregnation method and CN was extracted from local shrimp shells wastes, while CS was obtained by the deacetylation of CN. It was found that the activity of 1.5 wt% Cu/CN, with a lower Cu loading, is better than that of 4.5 wt% Cu/CS, which achieved 100% p-NP conversion to p-AP in short reaction times at all studied reaction temperatures. The activity of each catalyst was found to depend on the interaction modes of Cu NPs with the functional groups of CN and CS, which affects the textural parameters of the catalysts and the dispersion of Cu NPs, as revealed by various characterization techniques used. Kinetic of p-NP reduction was found to follows the pseudo-first order with respect to p-NP concentration. The apparent rate constants at T = 25 °C were calculated to be kapp = 0.854 min−1 and 0.350 min−1 for 1.5 wt% Cu/CN and 4.5 wt% Cu/CS catalysts, respectively, which increased with the reaction temperature. Kinetics data of p-NP reduction at T = 25 °C, obtained for various concentrations of reagents, were successfully modeled using the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. The related kinetic parameters such as the adsorption equilibrium constants K(p-NP), K(BH−4) and the surface rate constant, k, were calculated. The competitive adsorption between p-NP and BH−4 was shown to control the rate of p-NP reduction to p-AP.
