A new generation of a green polymeric matrix, chitosan/alginate-polyethyleniminemethylene phosphonic acid (CHIT/ALG-PEIMPA) was examined in comparative study of adsorption and preconcentration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diclofenac and ibuprofen. The influences of experimental parameters like pH, time reaction, initial concentration, ionic strength were investigated. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed heterogeneous morphology with different particle sizes of agglomerates from few micrometers to a hundred micrometers and irregular particles shape, before pharmaceuticals products adsorption. However, after adsorption, SEM micrograph reveals a smooth surface structure of agglomerate, and even in this smaller magnification, it was possible to observe the formation of homogenous and regular surface of CHIT/ALG-PEIMPA. Elementary analysis (EDX) reveals that the phosphonic acid (PEIMPA) was successfully cross-linked onto chitosan/alginate. The maximal adsorption capacity was found to be 222 mg.g⁻¹, and 122 mg.g⁻¹ under optimum conditions for diclofenac and ibuprofen respectively. The kinetic modeling followed the pseudo-second-order rate expression for both pharmaceutical drugs. Thermodynamics data leads to an exothermic and spontaneous adsorption processes (∆H = −34.32 KJ mol⁻¹; ∆H =−21.59 KJ mol⁻¹), respectively for diclofenac and ibuprofen.
