ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 360:124634. [PMID: 39084591 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have the potential to adsorb heavy metals (HMs), resulting in a combined pollution threat in aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, due to the complexity of MP/HM properties and experimental conditions, research on the adsorption of HMs onto MPs often yields inconsistent findings. To address this issue, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis assisted with machine learning by analyzing a dataset comprising 3340 records from 134 references. The results indicated that polyamide (PA) (ES = -1.26) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for commonly studied HMs (such as Pb, Cd, Cu, and Cr), which can be primarily attributed to the presence of C=O and N-H groups. In contrast, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) demonstrated a lower adsorption capacity, but the strongest adsorption strength resulting from the halogen atom on its surface. In terms of HMs, metal cations were more readily adsorbed by MPs compared with metalloids and metal oxyanions, with Pb (ES = -0.78) exhibiting the most significant adsorption. As the pH and temperature increased, the adsorption of HMs initially increased and subsequently decreased. Using a random forest model, we accurately predicted the adsorption capacity of MPs based on MP/HM properties and experimental conditions. The main factors affecting HM adsorption onto MPs were HM and MP concentrations, specific surface area of MP, and pH. Additionally, surface complexation and electrostatic interaction were the predominant mechanisms in the adsorption of Pb and Cd, with surface functional groups being the primary factors affecting the mechanism of MPs. These findings provide a quantitative summary of the interactions between MPs and HMs, contributing to our understanding of the environmental behavior and ecological risks associated with their correlation.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs) have been widely applied in various industries because of their excellent physicochemical properties. However, their discharging without appropriate treatment brought about serious pollution problems. So it is desirable but challenging to rapidly and completely clean up these toxic pollutants from water, especially utilizing environmentally friendly and naturally rich biomass materials. In this work, we prepared nanocellulose/carbon dots/magnesium hydroxide (CCMg) ternary composite using cotton via a simple hydrothermal method. The removal mechanism towards Cd2+ and Cu2+ was investigated using a combination of experimental techniques and density functional theory calculations. CCMg shows a good ability to remove HMIs. It is realized that the interaction between each component of CCMg and cadmium nitrate is mainly of hydrogen/dative bonds. Cadmium nitrate is preferentially enriched by the Mg(OH)2 moiety, proved by calculated thermodynamics, interfacial interactions and charges. After transformation, the cadmium carbonate precipitate is fixed on the surface by nanocellulose (NC) via chemical coupling; and of interest is that copper ion precipitates in the form of basic sulfate. Due to its high adsorption effect and simple recovery operation, CCMg is having a wide range of application prospects as a water treatment agent.

Abstract
To solve pollution problem of heavy metal ions (HMIs) and recover them for sustainable development, a high-efficient-sewage treatment agent, carbon dots/cellulose nanofiber/Mg(OH)2 (CCMg), has been fabricated via a simple hydrothermal method. A variety of characterizations show that cellulose nanofiber (CNF) formed a layered-net structure. Hexagonal Mg(OH)2 flakes of about 100 nm has been attached on CNF. Carbon dots (CDs) around 10-20 nm in size were produced from CNF and distributed along CNF. The extraordinary structural feature endows CCMg with high removal performance towards HMIs. The up-taken capacities reach 992.8 and 667.3 mg g-1 for Cd2+ and Cu2+, respectively. The composite bears excellent durability in treating wastewater. Notably, the qualification of the drinking water can be satisfied while applying CCMg to handle Cu2+ wastewater. The mechanism of removal process has been proposed. Practically, Cd2+/Cu2+ ions were immobilized by CNF due to the space confinement effect. It achieves the facile separation and recovery of HMIs from the sewage, and more importantly, eliminates the risk of secondary contamination.
