Abstract
Although iron in meat is an important trace element for human diet, its presence also induces postprandial oxidative stress and aggravates the condition of patients with iron overload. To overcome this situation, a type of new tunable Fe-absorption bioactive materials was constructed in this study. First, four phenolic acids (Caffeic acid, Gallic acid, Protocatechuic acid, Chlorogenic acid) were grafted onto chitosan. Then, the copolymers were prepared into micron-level microspheres by emulsification method, which were characterized in adsorption isotherms (Langmuir model), swelling behavior and digestion characteristics. In order to verify the practical application effect of microspheres, Protocatechuic acid grafted chitosan microspheres as the representative were used in sirloin powder to observe their effects in vitro digestion and rat experiment. In the present study, microspheres were innovatively applied in meat consumption, which significantly inhibited the oxidation of meat in the process of digestion and effectively controlled the iron absorption. These results are expected to play an important role in promoting the healthy consumption of meat around the world, improving gastrointestinal redox status through dietary assistance, and treating diseases related to iron overload.

[PMID: 38016551 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
The mining industry suppresses vegetation, exposing large soil areas in its ordinary operation. Water pollution and turbidity are caused by the carrying of solids, mainly colloidal particles, to the watercourses due to the effect of rainfall events. Therefore, the discharge of those effluents will lead to failure with watercourse quality parameters. Thus, there is a need to treat drainages (rainwaters) from the mining industry. However, using common coagulants and flocculants can result in acute or chronic ecotoxicity for aquatic biota. In this scenario, this research aimed to evaluate using a natural coagulant, the biopolymer Chitosan, to remove turbidity from mining industry spoiled water through bio-coagulation. The ecotoxicity of the natural coagulant was compared to the commonly used coagulants. For this purpose, we used synthetic rainwater (SRW) from the dispersion of fine (colloidal) particles in natural waters. Materials (water and soil) were collected in the mining area's sumps (sedimentation basins). The turbidity of the produced SRW ranged from between 500 and 4000 NTU. Jar Tests using Chitosan (CTS), polyaluminum chloride (PAC®12), and Superfloc®N100 variable doses were carried out to compare the effects of the coagulating/flocculating agents on the SRW turbidity reduction. The obtained results demonstrated the efficiency of CHS on turbidity reduction. The results were encouraging for low turbidity samples (<1000 NTU), making it possible to meet the limit parameters recommended by the Brazilian legislation. In addition, it was possible to conclude both CHS and the effluents treated with this coagulant have lower toxicity to aquatic biota than the combination of PAC®12 and Superfloc®N100.

Abstract
The wastewater released from different industries is a major environmental issue that has grabbed significant attention lately. Thus, the implementation of suitable routes for the treatment of such water is strongly recommended to reach the level of possible reuse for either industrial or agricultural purposes. In line with such a concept, this research work introduces a new composite structure made via the coating of polyacrylamide by loading nickel hydroxide nanoparticles for use as an absorbent for the purification of wastewater from dye contaminants. High internal phase emulation (HIPE) polymerization was utilized to first prepare particles of polyacrylamide followed by their coating with particles of nickel hydroxide to ultimately obtain the designated adsorbent. The structural features and chemical composition of the synthesized composite were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and energetic dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption surface area analysis were employed to detect the textural characteristics of the composite. Subsequently, the efficiency of this structure, as an adsorbent for the disposal of methylene blue dye species from a wastewater sample, was studied. During the water purification process, several operating parameters, namely, retention time, solution pH, initial concentration, and absorbent dose, were investigated. The presented Ni-polyacrylamide composite achieved the promising removal of methylene blue dye. An increased adsorption capacity of 14.3 mg g-1 toward methylene blue was achieved by the composite, thanks to the presence of both organic and inorganic functional groups within its structure. Kinetic and isotherm studies for the adsorption of methylene blue species were found to fit pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. Additionally, thermodynamic measurements indicated that the adsorption process of methylene blue is feasible, spontaneous, involves physisorption, and is endothermic.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 324:116279.

Abstract
Phosphate shortages and the ensuing pressures on food security have led to an interest in processed sewage sludge as a substitute for commercial fertilisers. The presence of heavy metals in this nutrient source causes concerns around environmental release and pollution. This work builds towards a resin-in-pulp sludge detoxification process. It showcases the kinetic and thermodynamic adsorption capabilities of the ion-exchange resins C107E (carboxylic acid functionality), MTS9301 (iminodiacetic acid) and TP214 (thiourea), with respect to Cu(II), Fe(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II), within a simulated sewage sludge weak acid (acetate) leachate. The isotherms produced in this complex system were quite different to those generated when single metals were investigated in isolation, with desorption of lower affinity species clearly observed at higher equilibrium concentration values. Mixed-metal isotherm data were fitted to common two-parameter isotherm models and also a novel modified Langmuir model, which better accounted for the effects of desorption and competition. Kinetic data were also fit to common two-parameter models; results suggesting the system was likely film diffusion-controlled and followed pseudo-2nd-order kinetics. C107E displayed rapid adsorption of lead (t1/2 = 26 ± 3min), and significant uptake of all metals. MTS9301 showed high affinity for copper ions, with concurrent desorption of all the other metals, and also displayed the fastest kinetics (t1/2 = 14.1 ± 0.9, 130 ± 20, 25 ± 5 and 49 ± 6 min for copper, iron(II), lead and zinc, respectively). C107E and MTS9301 showed far slower adsorption for iron(II) than the other three metals, which invited the possibility of kinetic separations. TP214 had reasonable effectiveness in removal of copper, but poor affinity for all other metals. The greatest difficulty in modelling the multi-metal system was the two-stage trends observed in equilibrium experiments, as metal-proton exchanges become metal-metal exchanges. While not having the highest capacity, MTS9301 was recommended as the most appropriate resin for rapid and efficient removal of Cu, Pb and Zn from the acetate medium.

Abstract
The human-made pollution of surface and ground waters is becoming an inevitable and persistently urgent problem for humankind and life in general, as these pollutants are also distributed by their natural circulation. For example, from mining activities and metallurgy, toxic heavy metals pollute the environment and present material risk for human health and the environment. Bioadsorbers are an intriguing way to efficiently capture and eliminate these hazards, as they are environmentally friendly, cheap, abundant, and efficient. In this study, we present brewers’ spent grain (BSG) as an efficient adsorber for toxic heavy metal ions, based on the examples of iron, manganese, cadmium, and nickel ions. We uncover the adsorption properties of two different BSGs and investigate thoroughly their chemical and physical properties as well as their efficiency as adsorbers for simulated and real surface waters. As a result, we found that the adsorption behavior of BSG types differs despite almost identical chemistry. Elemental mapping reveals that all components of BSG contribute to the adsorption. Further, both types are not only able to purify water to reach acceptable levels of cleanness, but also yield outstanding adsorption performance for iron ions of 0.2 mmol/g and for manganese, cadmium, and nickel ions of 0.1 mmol/g.

Abstract
Chitosan was fabricated via gelation method using CaBr2.xH2O/methanol solution and was studied as a potential adsorbent (MCh) in adsorbing anionic synthetic dyes like Bromophenol blue (BB), Direct blue 6 (DB) and Congo red (CR) from single (one dye species at a time) and multi (having two dyes; binary and all three dyes; tertiary) adsorptive systems. Physico-chemical modifications of MCh surface prior and post modification and dye adsorption were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, surface area analysis and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. Influential parameters influencing the adsorption process viz. initial pH of dye solution, MCh dosage, adsorption temperature and initial concentration of dye species were optimised. Adsorptive studies involving single adsorptive setups verified formation of sorbate's (dye species) monolayer over the sorbent's (MCh) surface via chemisorption; as established by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics model analysis. Theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of MCh for BB, DB and CR was found to be 81.301 mg/g, 163.934 mg/g and 75.758 mg/g, respectively. Meanwhile, for all multi-adsorptive systems, competitive Langmuir isotherm model verified antagonistic behaviour of an individual dye over other dye adsorption over MCh surface in their respective adsorptive systems. Thermodynamics of the sorbate-sorbent interaction was exothermic, spontaneous, with elevated degree of disorderedness; concluding the interaction as thermodynamically favourable. Co-existing metal cations and anionic salts had minimal effect on MCh's adsorption efficiency. Phytotoxicity assay via germination of Vigna mungo seeds verified the efficacy of the adsorbent in eliminating the dye species from single and multi-adsorptive systems.

Abstract
Industrial human activity has led to the release of substantial amounts of heavy metals into the environment. Contamination of water with heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, chromium, or nickel represents a serious problem. As part of the circular economy, it is appropriate to use biowaste from agriculture, fisheries, and the timber industry as biosorbents. In this literature review, the potential of using these biowaste groups as biosorbents for metal removal is presented. This biowaste is characterized by the presence of carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amide, amine, sulfydryl, and other groups on their surface, which form complexes and chelates with metals present in water. Biosorption seems to be a potential alternative to conventional technologies for removing or recovering heavy metals from water or wastewater, which are uneconomical and generate additional waste. The paper demonstrates that harnessing the potential of biowaste to remove metals is beneficial to the environment as they can solve the problem of incineration and realise recycling that meets the circular economy. Although the choice of a suitable biosorbent for the removal of a particular metal involves a lot of research, the high biosorption efficiency, low cost, and renewability justify their use.

Abstract
In the present study, the performance of biochar-based filtration bed was assessed to enhance the removal efficiency of Cr(VI), from the pre-treated synthetic tannery wastewater. The pre-treatment of wastewater was carried out with aluminium formate (AF) as a coagulant and 80% Cr(VI) removal was observed which might be due to the formation of carboxylic complexation reaction. The purity of coagulant and the sludge components were validated with XRD analysis and the results revealed the formation of pure aluminium formate compound as well as a clear change in the crystalline structure in the treated sludge. FT-IR spectra demonstrated the carboxylic compound participated in the removal of Cr(VI) during the coagulation process. The pre-treated wastewater having 20 mg/L (residual) Cr(VI) was passed through a three-layered filtration bed containing biochar, which showed complete removal of Cr(VI) ∼ 99.99% by precipitating into bind form under the influence of CaCO3 and formate ions. The possible mechanistic approach might be due to the presence of formate ions in the pre-treated wastewater, the precipitation of Cr(VI) occurred in the form of Cr(OH)2 by the release of bicarbonate (HCO3-), carbonate ion (CO3 2-) and hydroxide (OH-) ions in the filtration bed. The properties of the biochar were investigated by XRD and FTIR analysis and the results revealed the existence of hydroxyl, carboxyl and carbonyl groups, which participated during the removal of Cr(VI). The results suggest that biochar-based filtration bed could be a promising method for the treatment of pre-treated tannery wastewater.

Abstract
A novel thiol (provided by (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane, MPTS)-modified chitosan magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite (Fe3O4@SiO2/GO/CS/MPTS) was synthesized and characterized for the first time as an efficient magnetic sorbent for the enrichment and extraction of trace levels of clenbuterol in pork samples (muscle, fat, heart and liver). Various greatly influential parameters were optimized using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) through the response surface methodology (RSM) to obtain more satisfactory recovery. Under optimum conditions, the method detection limits (MDLs) were in the range of 0.054-0.136 ng g-1. The recoveries of three spiked levels ranged from 84.7% to 101.1%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 9.3%. The results of the adsorption experiments showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@SiO2/GO/CS/MPTS for clenbuterol was 214.13 mg g-1. The adsorption process was most consistent with pseudo second-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm, indicating a homogeneous process with a chemisorptive nature. Also, the nanocomposite exhibited high adsorption capability for clenbuterol compared with Fe3O4@SiO2/GO and Fe3O4@SiO2/GO/CS. In addition, regeneration of the nanocomposite was effectively achieved, and it retained about 82% of its initial capacity after four cycles. All these results indicate that the synthetic nanocomposite is a promising efficient adsorbent for the adsorption of clenbuterol with high adsorption capacity and low cost.

Abstract
Pectin is one of the finest natural polymer which has drawn great attention because of its applications in different fields. Due to the quintessential structure of pectin, it can be transformed into variety of useful products. It can be utilized as a blend in many polymers to make a mixture or a composite material. Owing to considerable collection in chemical conformation and cross-linking mechanism, different pectin based hydrogels have been prepared for different characteristics in pharmaceutical and bio-medical sites. Inventive properties of hydrogels like volubility, swellability, solvability and hydrophilicity make them better alternative for wastewater treatment. Recently, pectin based hydrogels have demonstrated excellent performance to eliminate various metal ions and dyes from the polluted water. The adsorption characteristics of pectin based hydrogels can be upgraded by using nanoparticles, which prompts to the development of hydrogel nano-composites. In this review article, we have summarized a comprehensive assessment in the direction of using pectin based hydrogels to remove toxic pollutants from aqueous solution. Sodium acrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide based pectin hydrogel has demonstrated the maximum adsorption capacities of 265.49, 137.43, 54.86, 53.86, 51.72 and 50.01 mg g-1 for the adsorption of methyl violet, methylene blue, Pb(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) respectively. We have also discussed the pectin structure, properties and applications in this article.
