Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based hydrogels are generally superabsorbent and biocompatible, but their low mechanical strength limits their application. To overcome these drawbacks, we used bacterial succinoglycan (SG), a biocompatible natural polysaccharide, as a double crosslinking strategy to produce novel interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels in a non-bead form. These new SG/CMC-based IPN hydrogels significantly increased the mechanical strength while maintaining the characteristic superabsorbent property of CMC-based hydrogels. The SG/CMC gels exhibited an 8.5-fold improvement in compressive stress and up to a 6.5-fold higher storage modulus (G′) at the same strain compared to the CMC alone gels. Furthermore, SG/CMC gels not only showed pH-controlled drug release for 5-fluorouracil but also did not show any cytotoxicity to HEK-293 cells. This suggests that SG/CMC hydrogels could be used as future biomedical biomaterials for drug delivery.

The main intention of this work is to study the adsorption rate and mechanism for the adsorption of Malachite Green dye (MG) onto Jordanian diatomite. A series of experiments were conducted under a variety of conditions such as the mass of diatomite, initial MG concentration, and pH of the solution. The mechanism of adsorption was elucidated based on different kinetic models. Experimental conditions showed a considerable effect on the adsorption rate. Alkali conditions promote MG uptake and increase the rate of adsorption. Approximately 99% of dye removal was achieved as the diatomite dosage increased from 0.25g to 1.5g. The adsorption rate-controlling step was found to be a combination of chemisorption and intraparticle diffusion, with the external mass transfer predominating in the first five minutes of the experiment.
