Abstract
Microalgae-assisted bioremediation, enriched by nanomaterial integration, offers a sustainable approach to environmental pollution mitigation while harnessing microalgae's potential as a biocatalyst and biorefinery resource. This strategy explores the interaction between microalgae, nanomaterials, and bioremediation, advancing sustainability objectives. The potent combination of microalgae and nanomaterials highlights the biorefinery's promise in effective pollutant removal and valuable algal byproduct production. Various nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles and semiconductor quantum dots, are reviewed for their roles in inorganic and organic pollutant removal and enhancement of microalgae growth. Limited studies have been conducted to establish nanomaterial's (CeO2, ZnO, Fe3O4, Al2O3, etc.) role on microalgae in pollution remediation; most studies cover inorganic pollutants (heavy metals and nutrients) remediation, exhibited 50-300% bioremediation efficiency improvement; however, some studies cover antibiotics and toxic dyes removal efficiency with 19-95% improvement. These aspects unveil the complex mechanisms underlying nanomaterial-pollutant-microalgae interactions, focusing on adsorption, photocatalysis, and quantum dot properties. Strategies to enhance bioremediation efficiency are discussed, including pollutant uptake improvement, real-time control, tailored nanomaterial design, and nutrient recovery. The review assesses recent advancements, navigates challenges, and envisions a sustainable future for bioremediation, underlining the transformative capacity of nanomaterial-driven microalgae-assisted bioremediation. This work aligns with Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by exploring nanomaterial-enhanced microalgae bioremediation for sustainable pollution management and resource utilization.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of the Adsorption Behavior of Cellulose-Graft-Poly(Acrylonitrile-co-Acrylic Acid) and Cellulose-Graft-Poly(Acrylonitrile-co-Styrene) towards Ni(II) and Cu(II) Heavy Metals. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:445. [PMID: 38337334 DOI: 10.3390/polym16030445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, the synthesis and characterization of grafted cellulose fiber with binary monomers mixture obtained using a KMnO4/citric acid redox initiator were investigated. Acrylonitrile (AN) was graft copolymerized with acrylic acid (AA) and styrene (Sty) at different monomer ratios with evaluating percent graft yield (GY%). Cell-g-P(AN-co-AA) and Cell-g-P(AN-co-Sty) were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, 13C CP MAS NMR, TGA, and XRD. An AN monomer was used as principle-acceptor monomer, and GY% increases with AN ratio up to 60% of total monomers mixture volume. The adsorption behaviors of Cell-g-P(AN-co-AA) and Cell-g-P(AN-co-Sty) were studied for the adsorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal ions from aqueous solution. Optimal adsorption conditions were determined, including 8 h contact time, temperature of 30 °C, and pH 5.5. Cell-g-P(AN-co-AA) showed maximum adsorption capacity of 435.07 mg/g and 375.48 mg/g for Ni(II) and Cu(II), respectively, whereas Cell-g-P(AN-co-Sty) showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 379.2 mg/g and 349.68 mg/g for Ni(II) and Cu(II), respectively. Additionally, adsorption equilibrium isotherms were studied, and the results were consistent with the Langmuir model. The Langmuir model's high determinant coefficient (R2) predicted monolayer sorption of metal ions. Consequently, Cell-g-P(AN-co-AA) and Cell-g-P(AN-co-Sty) prepared by a KMnO4/citric acid initiator were found to be efficient adsorbents for heavy metals from wastewater as an affordable and adequate alternative.

Abstract
Cellulose/poly (glycerol citrate) reinforced with thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and apple peel (POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP) was synthesized using gelation method in the presence of glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker agent and used as an efficient composite hydrogel for elimination of Tl(Ι) from aqueous solutions. This composite hydrogel and synthesized thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR, TGA, and FE-SEM techniques. The effects of synthetic and environmental parameters on the adsorption capacity of the composite hydrogel were investigated and it was found that thiol-rich polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane has improved the hydrogel properties including the Tl(Ι) uptake and the thermal stability. The maximum adsorption capacity of 352.3 mg g-1 was obtained within 30 min under optimum reaction conditions. A typical Langmuir adsorption isotherm with was observed for adsorption of Tl(I) onto POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP and pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best correlation between experimental data. Thermodynamic studies showed that the Tl(I) adsorption was spontaneous process and exothermic. Also, the reusability tests confirmed that the POSS-SH@CAG-CEL/AP can be reused for four times without any remarkable change in its adsorption capacity. Thus, this reusable biobased composite hydrogel can be an ideal candidate for elimination of Tl(I) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
LaFeO3 perovskite is prepared by the cellulose-modified microwave-assisted citrate method using two different biomasses as a cellulose source; rice straw (RS) and banana peel (BP). The prepared samples are assigned as LaFeO3/cellulose-RS and as LaFeO3/cellulose-BP, respectively. Raman Spectra prove the presence of perovskite and cellulose phases, as well as biochar resulted from the thermal treatment of the cellulose. LaFeO3/cellulose-RS has a cauliflower morphology while, two phases are observed for LaFeO3/cellulose-BP, mesoporous cellulose phase and octahedral LaFeO3 nanoparticles as shown by scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. LaFeO3/cellulose-BP has higher porosity and larger BET surface area than LaFeO3/cellulose-RS. Both samples are applied for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution by adsorption. The adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm, with maximum adsorption capacities of 524 and 730 mg/g for LaFeO3/cellulose-RS and LaFeO3/cellulose-BP, respectively. Cellulose precursors from different biomasses affect structural and morphological properties of LaFeO3/cellulose samples as well as the sorption performance for Pb(II) ions. BP is more recommended than RS, as a biomass, in the present study.

Abstract
In this study, sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was treated with sodium hydroxide and bleached to separate the non-cellulose components to obtain cellulose (CE) fibres. Cross-linked cellulose-poly(sodium acrylic acid) hydrogel (CE-PAANa) was successfully synthesised via simple free-radical graft-polymerisation to remove heavy metal ions. The structure and morphology of the hydrogel display an open interconnected porous structure on the surface of the hydrogel. Various factors influencing batch adsorption capacity, including pH, contact time, and solution concentration, were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics were in good agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and that the adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated by the Langmuir model are 106.3, 333.3, and 163.9 mg/g for Cu(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II), respectively. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) results demonstrated that cationic exchange and electrostatic interaction were the main heavy metal ions adsorption mechanisms. These results demonstrate that CE-PAANa graft copolymer sorbents from cellulose-rich SCB can potentially be used for the removal of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Heavy metals are a notable pollutant in aquatic ecosystems that results in many deadly diseases of the human body after enrichment through the food chain. As an environmentally friendly renewable resource, nanocellulose can be competitive with other materials at removing heavy metal ions due to its large specific surface area, high mechanical strength, biocompatibility and low cost. In this review, the research status of modified nanocellulose for heavy metal adsorbents is primarily reviewed. Two primary forms of nanocellulose are cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The preparation process of nanocellulose was derived from natural plants, and the preparation process included noncellulosic constituent removal and extraction of nanocellulose. Focusing on heavy metal adsorption, the modification of nanocellulose was explored in depth, including direct modification methods, surface grafting modification methods based on free radical polymerization and physical activation. The adsorption principles of nanocellulose-based adsorbents when removing heavy metals are analyzed in detail. This review may further facilitate the application of the modified nanocellulose in the field of heavy metal removal.

Abstract
A low-cost and environmental-friendly sodium alginate-melamine@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (SA-ME@ZIF-67) adsorbent was fabricated by chemical grafting and in situ growth for the removal of lead ions in wastewater. Firstly, melamine (ME) was grafted onto sodium alginate (SA) by amide reaction, and then SA-ME was dropped into a solution of calcium chloride to form hydrogel bead, and ZIF-67 was grown on the SA-ME hydrogel bead by the in situ growth method. The SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent was used to effectively adsorb Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The initial concentrations of lead ions, adsorbent dose, initial pH of lead ion solution, temperature, and adsorption time for the material were optimized. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics fitted to Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9281, 0.9420, and 0.9623 at the temperatures of 288.15 K, 298.15 K, and 308.15 K, respectively) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9901) respectively. According to the Langmuir model at 308.15 K, the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for Pb(II) was 634.99 mg/g. The recycling application of the adsorbent was possible as it was easily collected and reused after five adsorption-regeneration cycles. In addition, the Pb(II) in real wastewater samples has been efficiently removed using the fabricated hydrogel. The results showed that the SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent had high adsorption capacity, removal efficiency, and easy recyclability for Pb(II).

Abstract
In recent years, the scarcity of pure water resources has received a lot of attention from society because of the increasing amount of pollution from industrial waste. It is very important to use low-cost adsorbents with high-adsorption performance to reduce water pollution. In this work, a gel adsorbent with a high-adsorption performance on methylene blue (MB) and Cu(II) was prepared from bamboo nanocellulose (BCNF) (derived from waste bamboo paper) and montmorillonite nanosheet (MMTNS) cross-linked by polyethyleneimine (PEI). The resulting gel adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS), etc. The results indicated that the MB and Cu(II) adsorption capacities of the resulting gel adsorbent increased with the solution pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature before equilibrium. The adsorption processes of MB and Cu(II) fitted well with the fractal-like pseudo-second-order model. The maximal adsorption capacities on MB and Cu(II) calculated by the Sips model were 361.9 and 254.6 mg/g, respectively. The removal of MB and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions mainly included electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, hydrogen bonding interaction, etc. These results suggest that the resulting gel adsorbent is an ideal material for the removal of MB and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Clean and safe water resources play a key role in environmental safety and human health. Recently, hydrogels have attracted extensive attention due to their non-toxicity, controllable performance, and high adsorption. Herein, a semi- interpenetrating network hydrogel (semi-IPN-Gel) adsorbent based on quaternary cellulose (QC) was prepared by the amino-anhydride click reaction between maleic anhydride copolymer and polyacrylamine hydrochloride (PAH), and its adsorption properties for Eosin Y were studied. First, a binary copolymer (PAM) of acrylamide and maleic anhydride was synthesized by free radical polymerization. Then, the PAM, QC and PAH were dissolved in water, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to alkaline. Semi-IPN-Gel was successfully prepared by fast anhydride-amino click reaction. The preparation conditions of hydrogels were optimized by single-factor experiments. Finally, taking Eosin Y as a model pollutant, the adsorption performance of Eosin Y was studied. The factors influencing the adsorption capacity of the absorbents such as initial concentration of the Eosin Y, temperature, the amount of absorbent, ionic strength and pH of the Eosin Y solutions were investigated. And adsorption data were analyzed via the kinetic model and the isothermal model, indicating that the adsorption process of the hydrogel is a single layer chemisorption process.

Abstract
Most natural polymers exhibit limited functional groups, which is not favourable for the adsorption of various ions and their utilisation. To overcome this drawback, a novel in-situ-doped nano-calcium carbonate (CaCO3) chitin hydrogel was synthesised as an efficient adsorbent for Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions. Scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller results revealed that the synthesised CaCO3/chitin hydrogel exhibited loose macropores and mesopores. Subsequently, Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and X-ray diffraction characterisation characterisation proved that chitin was successfully doped with nano-CaCO3. The mechanical properties of CaCO3/chitin hydrogel were superior to those of the unmodified chitin hydrogel and could efficiently adsorb Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions in water. The effect of pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature was assessed to determine the adsorption properties of the hydrogel. Under suitable experimental conditions, the maximum adsorption rate of the CaCO3/chitin hydrogel was approximately 96%. The time-dependent adsorption kinetics followed a quasi-second order model, and the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cu (II) and Cd (II) according to the Langmuir curve were 194.61 and 191.58 mg/g, respectively. Compared with the binary competitive system, the material exhibited a specific selectivity to the adsorption of Cu (II). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that nitrogen and oxygen atoms were involved in chelation with the metal ions. The successful compounding of calcium carbonate nanoparticles provided more active adsorption sites for the gel. The novel material exhibited excellent adsorption effects on Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions when applied to a water sample. Thus, the novel material exhibits excellent potential for application. The Cu (II) and Cd (II)ion removal efficiencies after five successive adsorption cycles were higher than 90%, which indicated that the composite material exhibited excellent stability and reproducibility.

Carbohydr Polym 2021; 270:118356. [PMID: 34364601 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
A cellulose-g-poly-(acrylamide-co-sulfonic acid) polymeric bio-adsorbent (CASA) was prepared by grafting copolymerization, and used to adsorb Cr(III) from leather wastewater. The SEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS results showed that CASA contains many spherical particles and functional groups such as NH2, CO, and HSO3. The adsorption experiments revealed that CASA presented excellent adsorption performance for Cr(III) (274.69 mg/g of max adsorption capacity) from high-salinity wastewater, which was much better than other reported adsorbents with different structures. Meanwhile, adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 10 min due to the introduction of abundant sulfonic acid groups on its surface. In addition, the adsorption process followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the experimental data conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Moreover, the main adsorption mechanisms include chelation, electrostatic interactions, and cation exchange, which provide an important theoretical basis for the removal of toxic inorganic pollutants from leather wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:26923-26934.

Abstract
This study explored the sustainable use of treated sugar mill wastewater (SMW) to cultivate the White button (Agaricus bisporus J.E. Lange) mushroom and the attendant risk of trace metals accumulated in the fruiting bodies. The wheat straw substrate was loaded with a normal water supply and different doses of SMW to enhance its moisture and nutrient contents. The impact of the SMW amendment on A. bisporus yield, biological efficiency, and spawn-running time was assessed. Furthermore, the substrate properties (pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, etc.) based prediction models for trace metal uptake by A. bisporus fruiting bodies were developed using multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches. The results showed that maximum A. bisporus yield (158.42 ± 8.74 g/kg fresh substrate), biological efficiency (105.61 ± 3.97%), and minimum time of spawn-running (15 days) were observed in 75% SMW enrichment. For the prediction of Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, and Zn trace metal uptake, the ANN models showed better performance in terms of R2 (> 0.995), root means square error (RMSE < 0.075), model efficiency (ME > 0.99), and model normalized bias (MNB < 0.009), as compared with those of MLR models with R2 (0.972), RMSE (< 0.441), ME (> 0.96), and MNB (< 0.034), respectively. On the other hand, the target hazard quotient (THQ) showed no significant health risk associated with the consumption of trace metal-contaminated A. bisporus in both adult and child groups. Thus, the findings of this study present a novel, safe, and sustainable method of A. bisporus cultivation along with treated agro-based wastewater management.

Abstract
The development of lignocellulose-based adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater has attracted much recent attention. In this work, a high-yield cellulose bacterial strain Comamonas testosteroni FJ17 was evaluated for its capacity to modify rice straw towards increased Cu(II) removal. For optimum modification time (45.5 h), inoculum concentration (1.25%), and rice straw dose (12.6 g L-1) the optimized adsorption capacity was 28.4 mg g-1. After strain FJ17 modification the equilibrium adsorption percentage of rice straw for Cu(II) increased from 6.6 to 27.4% at an initial concentration of 100 mg L-1. This increase was attributed to an increase in rice straw surface modification, leading to improved adsorption ability. SEM-EDS indicated that, following strain FJ17 treatment, the surface of the rice straw became more disintegrated and the specific surface area consequentially increased from 1.9 to 3.7 m2 g-1. FTIR analysis also showed new functional groups (carbonyl) appearing, and CC and CH3CR functionality being enhanced after biomodification. Functional groups associated with the benzene ring, silicified polymer and carbohydrates were all involved in the adsorption process. Adsorption of Cu was well described by the Freundlich isotherm model (R2 > 0.98) where adsorption was endothermic with potential for both chemical and physical interactions to coexist. Reusability experiments showed that the removal efficiency of Cu(II) decreased from 96.9 to 73.2% after five cycles. Overall C.testosteroni-treated rice straw had significant potential as a heavy metal biosorbent.

Abstract
In this work, a GO (graphene oxide)/PAA (poly acrylic acid) hydrogel was prepared by graft polymerization between GO and AA. It was employed as highly efficient adsorbent for Cd2+ removal from wastewater. The GO/PAA-Cd2+ composite after the adsorption process was recycled through in-situ precipitation to obtain GO/PAA-CdS composites. During the synthesis process, the amounts of GO and AA were optimized to enable the hydrogel with maximum adsorption of Cd2+ (316.4 mg/g at 25 °C). The structure and chemical composites of GO/PAA hydrogel were investigated through FTIR spectra, Raman spectra, and TGA. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Cd2+ on GO/PAA were analyzed. The synthesized products served as an efficient adsorbent for Cd2+ and a suitable matrix for the CdS quantum dots formation which was confirmed by various characterizations, including XPS, SEM-EDS and HRTEM. The roles of GO and PAA in the successive adsorption-photocatalyst process were proved to be complementary: PAA improved the adsorption of Cd2+ while GO enhanced the photocatalyst efficiency. The photodegradation rate of MB (30 mg/L) was over 90% within 2 h.
