Özet
Recently, the production of biomaterial supported metal nanoparticles has gained significant importance as an emerging field with numerous applications ranging from healthcare to sustainable environment due to their unique chemical, catalytic, physical, and biological properties. In this paper, we fabricated magnetically retrievable Schiff base modified-keratin supported nano-sized Pd catalyst (Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch) to investigate its catalytic and antioxidant characteristics. The design procedure for Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch is as follows: (1) extraction of keratin from goose feathers, (2) loading of Fe3O4 onto keratin (keratin/Fe3O4), (3) aminofunctionalization of keratin/Fe3O4 (keratin/Fe3O4/APT), (4) Schiff base modification of keratin/Fe3O4/APT (keratin/Fe3O4/Sch), and (5) preparation of the nano-structured Pd catalyst. Diverse analytical methods, bearing FT-IR, TEM, EDS, XRD, TGA, XPS, BET and FE-SEM were utilized to substantiate production of Pd nanoparticles. TEM results indicated that the formed Pd nanoparticles had an average particle size of 20 nm. The catalytic behavior of Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch was then studied in the catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics (p-nitrophenol (p-NP), p-nitro- o-phenylenediamine (p-NPDA), o-nitroaniline (o-NA), p-nitroaniline (p-NA)) and organic dyes (rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB)). The Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch successfully reduced p-NP, p-NPDA, p-NA, and o-NA rapidly with rate constants of 0.018 s-1, 0.013 s-1, 0.039 s-1, and 0.034 s- 1 , respectively. In addition, it promptly reduced MB, while it reduced MO and RhB with rate constants of 0.023 s- 1 and 0.054 s-1, respectively. The Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch was readily recovered due to its magnetic nature and was reused up to six cycles. The stability of Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch was confirmed through EDS and ICP analyses conducted after the reusability tests. The samples obtained after each step in the Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch production were also investigated for their antioxidant activities. The order of antioxidant activity was found to decrease in the following sequence: keratin/Fe3O4, Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch, keratin/Fe3O4/APT, keratin/Fe3O4/ Sch and keratin, respectively. The fabricated Pd@keratin/Fe3O4/Sch is an ideal catalyst system for remediating wastewater contaminants and biological applications with excellent catalytic and antioxidant capacity, easy recovery, and good stability.
