What is Ethylparaben?

Ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, also known as Ethylparaben, is a synthetic preservative obtained by esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and ethanol under the catalysis of sulfuric acid. Colorless fine crystals or white crystalline powder. Odorless and tasteless, slightly numb tongue. The melting point is 116-118°C. Insoluble in water, easily soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol, peanut oil. It has strong antibacterial effect on mold and yeast, and weak effect on bacteria, especially Gram-negative bacteria and lactic acid bacteria. Its antibacterial ability is stronger than that of benzoic acid and sorbic acid, and it has good effect in the range of pH 4-8. Its antibacterial mechanism is to inhibit the activity of respiratory enzymes and electron transfer enzymes of microbial cells, and to destroy the cell membrane structure of microorganisms.

Because it is difficult to dissolve in water, it is generally mixed with propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sodium ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, etc., which not only improves the water solubility, but also has a certain synergistic effect. Quality standard: GB 8850-1988 (mandatory national standard), content (on a dry basis) ≥ 99%; loss on drying ≤ 0.5%; residue on ignition ≤ 0.05%; melting point 115-118°C; acidity: qualified; sulfate ash ≤0.024%; p-hydroxybenzoic acid and salicylic acid: qualified; aldehydes (calculated as propionaldehyde): qualified; arsenic ≤0.0001%; heavy metals ≤0.001%. Ethylparaben is paraben, which has good antibacterial effect in a wide pH range. Due to its low toxicity and non-irritating advantages, it is widely used as a preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is commonly used at home and abroad. One of preservatives and bacteriostats.

Study on the Adsorption Characteristics of Ethyl Paraben by Straw Biochar

In order to promote the resource utilization of straw, bagasse, eggplant straw, and corn cob were used as materials in this study, and bagasse biochar (SBC), eggplant straw biochar (EBC), Corn cob biochar (CBC) was tested for the removal of ethylparaben from water.

The results show:

(1) The raw materials for the preparation of biochar significantly affected its adsorption effect on ethyl paraben, and the adsorption capacity of biochar prepared from three kinds of straws to ethyl paraben was in the order of SBC>EBC>CBC.

In addition, factors such as the initial concentration of ethylparaben in water, adsorption temperature and time can all affect the adsorption effect.

(2) The removal efficiencies of three kinds of biochars to ethyl paraben decreased with the increase of the initial concentration of ethyl paraben, and high temperature was beneficial to the adsorption.

When the initial ethylparaben concentration was 30 mg·L-1 at 45 ℃, bagasse biochar (SBC) had the highest removal rate of ethylparaben, reaching 99.7%.

The reaction increased rapidly in the first 120 min and reached adsorption equilibrium after 270 min.

(3) The adsorption isotherm of biochar to ethylparaben conforms to Langmuir model and Freundlich model.

This provides a theoretical basis for the application of agricultural straw waste to the removal of organic pollutants such as ethyl paraben.
