[PMID: 38187276 PMCID: PMC10770456 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, nanomaterials and composites have become increasingly significant as adsorbents in the removal of dyes and phenolic contaminants from wastewater. This study presents the development and application of a keratin-based graphene oxide nanocomposite, distinguished by its enhanced biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, and strong affinity for organic compounds, making it highly effective in reducing dyes within tannery effluent. The nanocomposite was prepared via solution casting method, with dispersibility, chemical bonding, and morphology analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and SEM, respectively. Furthermore, investigations of the influence of several factors, such as contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage on the optimization of the process were conducted. An observation indicated a reduction of approximately 98.8 % in dye content within 20 min, achieved through the use of an adsorbent dosage of 1.5 g/L, with the solution pH maintained at 5. Subsequently, adsorption kinetics and isotherm modelling were analyzed. The results revealed that the adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm models. Hence, the adsorption could be explained as chemisorption with a multilayer adsorption mechanism. Notably, a substantial reduction in parameters such as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was also achieved up to 62 % and 79 %, respectively. Therefore, the developed adsorbent could be suggested as a viable candidate for eliminating dyes from the wastewater, especially from the tannery effluent.

Decoration of polystyrene with nanoparticles of cobalt hydroxide as new composites for the removal of Fe(iii) and methylene blue from industrial wastewater. RSC Adv 2023; 13:25334-25349. [PMID: 37622016 PMCID: PMC10445594 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra03794k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Effluent water from different industries is considered one of the most serious environmental pollutants due to its non-safe disposal. Therefore, proper treatment methods for such wastewater are strongly stimulated for its potential reuse in industries or agriculture. This study introduces a composite fabricated via doping of polystyrene with nanoparticles of cobalt hydroxide as a novel adsorbent for dye and heavy metal decontamination from wastewater. The adsorbent fabrication involves the preparation of polystyrene via high-internal phase emulation (HIPE) polymerization followed by its intercalation with particles of alkali cobalt. The chemical composition and structural properties of the synthesized composite were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption surface area analysis were performed to identify the surface and morphological characteristics of the composite. Then, the ability of this structure toward the removal of methylene blue dye (MB) and heavy metal (iron iii) species from waste aqueous solutions was investigated. Successful elimination for both MB and Fe(iii) was achieved by the presented composite. Elevated adsorption capacities of 75.2 and 112.3 mg g-1, toward MB and Fe(iii) respectively, were detected for the presented polymer-metal hydroxide composite. The increased values of the composite are attributed to the presence of both organic and inorganic functional groups within its structure. Kinetic and isotherm studies for the removal of both cationic species revealed that adsorption processes fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Additionally, thermodynamics measurements indicated that the adsorption process of methylene blue and Fe ions is feasible, spontaneous, physisorption, and endothermic.

Abstract
The design and development of green and efficient supported catalysts is the frontier direction in the field of green synthesis, which conforms to the strategic concept of green sustainable chemistry and "carbon neutrality". Herein, we used a renewable resource chitosan (CS) derived from seafood wastes of chitin as carriers to design two different chitosan-supported palladium (Pd) nano-catalysts through different activation methods. The Pd particles were firmly and uniformly dispersed on the chitosan microspheres due to the interconnected nanoporous structure and functional groups of chitosan, proved by diverse characterizations. The chitosan supported catalysts (Pd@CS) was applied to hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol, which showed competitive catalytic activity compared to commercial Pd/C, un-supported nano-Pd and Pd(OAc)2 catalysts, as well as excellent catalytic activity, good reusability, long-life and broad applicability in selective hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes, suggesting potential of applications in green industrial catalysis.

Abstract
The mitigation of wastewater exploiting biopolymers/natural gums-based composites is an appealing research theme in today's scenario. The following review presents a comprehensive description of the polysaccharides derived from biopolymers (chitosan, collagen, cellulose, starch, pectin, lignin, and alginate) and natural gums (guar, gellan, carrageenan, karaya, moringa oliefera, tragacanth, and xanthan gum). These biopolymers/natural gums-based composites depicted excellent surface functionality, non-toxicity, economic and environmental viability, which corroborated them as potential candidates in the decontamination process. The presence of -OH, -COOH, and -NH functional groups in their backbone rendered them tailorable for modification/functionalization, and anchor an array of pollutants via electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Waals forces. Further, due to these functional moieties, these bio-based composites revealed an excellent adsorption capacity than conventional adsorbents. This review provides an overview of the classification of biopolymers/natural gums based on their origin, different ways of their modification, and the remediation of dye-contaminated aqueous environments employing diverse bio-based adsorbents. The isotherm, kinetic modelling along with thermodynamics of the adsorption process is discussed. Additionally, the reusable efficacy of these bio-adsorbents is reviewed.

Abstract
A novel bio-based polyurethane foam was fabricated using double cross-linked chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose gel, filled with ZSM-5 nano zeolite, and hot-pressed into the membrane. The prepared foam membrane was characterized using FESEM, FTIR, BET, TGA, and pHZPC analyses and then used for continuous dye removal. The results modification of polyurethane foam with chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose gel and ZSM-5 nano zeolite would increase the retention ability of positive cationic methylene blue. Also, the foam could simultaneously remove methyl orange, eriochrome black T, and methylene blue from the binary and trinary solutions but could effectively be used to selectively removal methylene blue. In addition, the dye removal ability at the breakthrough was enhanced with decreasing flow rate, and increasing bed height, pH, initial dye concentration, and nano zeolite content in the foam. To describe the breakthrough curves different models were utilized which best fits were obtained with Modified Dose-Response as compared to Thomas, Adams & Bohart, Yoon-Nelson, and Wolborska models.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and ecofriendly approaches toward water purification and antibacterial activity is a hot research topic in this era. Purposely, strontium-doped zinc selenide (Sr-doped ZnSe) nanoparticles, with different molar ratios of Sr2+ cations (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1), were prepared via the co-precipitation method, in which sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and 2-mercaptoethanol were employed as reducing and stabilizing agents, respectively. The ZnSe cubic structure expanded by Sr2+ cations was indicated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The absorption of the chemical compounds on the surface was observed via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The optical orientation was measured by ultraviolet–visible diffused reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) analysis. The surface area, morphology, and elemental purity were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The oxidation state and valency of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Sr-doped ZnSe nanoparticles were investigated for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO), and their antibacterial potential was investigated against different bacterial strains. The antibacterial activity examined against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli implied the excellent biological activity of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the Sr-doped ZnSe nanoparticles were evaluated by the successful degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. Therefore, Sr-doped ZnSe nanoparticles have tremendous potential in biological and water remediation fields.

Abstract
The Basil seeds mucilaginous polysaccharide exhibits remarkable physical and chemical properties like high water-absorbing capacity, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The metal-organic frameworks are one of the most promising precursors made of metal clusters and organic connectors for the fabrication of advanced adsorbents due to their unique properties. In this study, the bionanocomposite of magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was successfully synthesized and applied to adsorb azo cationic and anionic dyes. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were pretreated with mucilage extracted from basil seeds to acquire negatively charged magnetite surface, followed by nucleation through attracting zinc cation, and then the growth of metal-organic frameworks which yields high-quality ZIF-8 crystals. The samples were characterized by Field Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. In the process of adsorption, influencing factors and recycling regeneration were discussed, and the adsorption mechanisms such as kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics were explored. The results of the adsorption process showed that maximum adsorption capacities were 9.09 and 13.21 mg/g for Methylene blue and Eriochrome Black T, respectively. The excellent reusability combined with its magnetic separation property makes the nanocomposite a promising adsorbent for the removal of cationic and anionic dyes.

Abstract
In this work, keratin sponges were prepared by freeze-drying method and tested for adsorption of Azure A and Methyl Orange dyes. The obtained materials showed a porosity of 99.92% and a mean pore size dimension of about 91 μm. The use of oxidized sucrose with a heating treatment at 150°C was demonstrated to be a useful crosslinking procedure alternative to the conventional glutaraldehyde. Keratin sponges showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.063 and of 0.037 mmol/g for Azure A and Methyl Orange, respectively. The absorption of the cationic dye Azure A onto keratin sponges was better described by Freundlich model while the isotherm adsorption of the anionic Methyl Orange was found to correlate with both Langmuir and Freundlich models. The mean free energies evaluated by using the D-R model indicated a physisorption of Methyl Orange and a chemisorptions of Azure A onto keratin sponges. Finally, the functionalization of keratin sponges with Zn Al hydrotalcites nanoparticles did not affect the adsorption performances of the adsorbent toward the cationic dye Azure A, while it improved those toward the anionic Methyl Orange, increasing the related removal efficiencies from 43 to 96%. Collectively, the reported data indicates that the combination of keratin with hydrotalcites nanoparticles is a good strategy to obtain more functional adsorbent materials of potential interest for water treatment and purification.

Abstract
In this study, a biocomposite of chitosan/poly vinyl alcohol/activated carbon was synthesized and used for hexavalent chrome removal from aqueous solution. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis. The effect of important variables such as pH, concentration, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent dosage was investigated. The value of pHPZC for the adsorbent was evaluated at 4.9. Results showed that adsorption of chrome onto the adsorbent follows the Langmuir isotherm model and has a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum capacity of chrome adsorption was determined 109.89 (mg/g) according to the Langmuir isotherm model. According to adsorption results, the removal percentage of chrome increases with increasing the activated carbon content in the biocomposite, the adsorbent dosage, and decreasing the initial chrome concentration, pH, and temperature. The results showed that the synthesized adsorbent can be used as an effective adsorbent for chrome removal from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The adsorption behavior of basic, methylene blue (MB), and reactive, remazol brilliant violet 5R (RBV), dyes from aqueous solution onto Intsia bijuga sawdust-based activated carbon (IBSAC) was executed via batch and column studies. The produced activated carbon was characterized through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore structural analysis, proximate and ultimate, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Batch studies were performed to investigate the effects of contact time, initial concentration, and solution pH. The equilibrium data for both MB and RBV adsorption better fits Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacity of 434.78 and 212.77 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic studies for both MB and RBV dyes showed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. For column mode, the breakthrough curves were plotted by varying the flow rate, bed height, and initial concentration and the breakthrough data were best correlated with the Yoon-Nelson model compared to Thomas and Adams-Bohart model. The adsorption activity of IBSAC shows good stability even after four consecutive cycles.
