Abstract
A facile, cost-competitive, scalable and novel synthetic approach is used to prepare copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) using Betel leaf (Piper betle) extracts as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents. CuO-NPs were characterized using various analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), as well as photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The activity of CuO-NPs was investigated towards Congo red dye degradation, supercapacitor energy storage and antibacterial activity. A maximum of 89% photodegradation of Congo red dye (CR) was obtained. The nanoparticle modified electrode also exhibited a specific capacitance (Csp) of 179 Fg-1. Furthermore, the antibacterial potential of CuO NPs was evaluated against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, both strains displaying high antibacterial performance.

Fauzia, Khan MA, Chaman M, Azam A. Antibacterial and sunlight-driven photocatalytic activity of graphene oxide conjugated CeO 2 nanoparticles. Sci Rep 2024; 14:6606.

Abstract
This work focuses on the structural, morphological, optical, photocatalytic, antibacterial properties of pure CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) based CeO2 nanocomposites (GO-1/CeO2, GO-5/CeO2, GO-10/CeO2, GO-15/CeO2), synthesized using the sol-gel auto-combustion and subsequent sonication method, respectively. The single-phase cubic structure of CeO2 NPs was confirmed by Rietveld refined XRD, HRTEM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The average crystallite size was calculated using Debye Scherrer formula and found to increase from 20 to 25 nm for CeO2 to GO-15/CeO2 samples, respectively. The related functional groups were observed from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, consistent with the outcomes of Raman spectroscopy. The optical band gap of each sample was calculated by using a Tauc plot, which was observed to decrease from 2.8 to 1.68 eV. The valence state of Ce (Ce3+ and Ce4+) was verified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for CeO2 and GO-10/CeO2. The poisonous methylene blue (MB) dye was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of each sample in direct sunlight. The GO-15/CeO2 nanocomposite showed the highest photocatalytic activity with rate constant (0.01633 min-1), and it degraded the MB dye molecules by 100% within 120 min. The high photocatalytic activity of this material for degrading MB dye establishes it as an outstanding candidate for wastewater treatment. Further, these nanocomposites also demonstrated excellent antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Abstract
Developing a hybrid process for wastewater purification is of utmost importance to make conventional methods more efficient and faster. Herein, an effective visible light-active nickel-nickel oxide/carbon/graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-NiO/C/g-C3N4)-based nanocatalyst was developed. A hybrid process based on ozonation and Ni-NiO/C/g-C3N4 visible light photocatalysis was applied to decolourize the Congo red (CR), Alizarin Red S (ARS), and real dairy industry wastewater. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Χ-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry (UV-Vis DRS). The factors affecting the catalytic process were evaluated, including contact time, solution pH, initial dye concentration, etc. The degradation rate of CR and ARS was compared between the photocatalysis, ozonation, and integrated photocatalytic ozonation (PC/O3) methods. The results showed 100% degradation of CR and ARS within 5 min and 40 min, respectively, by integrated PC/O3. The reusability of the modified catalyst was evaluated, and four successive regenerations were achieved. The modified Ni-NiO/C/g-C3N4 composite could be considered an effective, fast, and reusable catalyst in an integrated PC/O3 process for the complete decolourization of wastewater.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127900.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization on solid support offers advantages over free enzymes by overcoming characteristic limitations. To synthesize new stable and hyperactive nano-biocatalysts (co-precipitation method), ginger peroxidase (GP) was surface immobilized (adsorption) on ZnO/SnO2 and ZnO/SnO2/SA nanocomposite with immobilization efficacy of 94 % and 99 %, respectively. Thereafter, catalytic and biochemical characteristics of free and immobilized GP were investigated by deploying various techniques, i.e., FTIR, PXRD, SEM, and PL. Diffraction peaks emerged at 2θ values of 26°, 33°, 37°, 51°, 31°, 34°, 36°, 56°, indicating the formation of SnO2 and ZnO. The OH stretching of the H2O molecules was attributed to broad peaks between 3200 and 3500 cm-1, whereas ZnO/SnO2 spikes occurred in the 1626-1637 cm-1 range. SnO stretching mode and ZnO terminal vibrational patterns have been verified at corresponding wavelengths of 625 cm-1 and 560 cm-1. Enzyme entrapment onto substrate was verified via interactions between GP and ZnO/SnO2/SA as corroborated by signals beneath 1100 cm-1. GP-immobilized fractions were optimally active at pH 5, 50 °C, and retained maximum activity after storage of 4 weeks at -4 °C. Kinetic parameters were determined by using a Lineweaver-Burk plot and Vmax for free GP, ZnO/SnO2/GP and ZnO/SnO2/SA/GP with guaiacol as a substrate, were found to be 322.58, 49.01 and 11.45 (μM/min) respectively. A decrease in values of Vmax and KM indicates strong adsorption of peroxidase on support and maximum affinity between nano support and enzyme, respectively. For environmental remediation, free ginger peroxidase (GP), ZnO/SnO2/GP and ZnO/SnO2/SA/GP fractions effectively eradicated highly intricate dye. Multiple scavengers had a significant impact on the depletion of the dye. In conclusion, ZnO/SnO2 and ZnO/SnO2/SA nanostructures comprise an ecologically acceptable and intriguing carrier for enzyme immobilization.

Titanium doped cobalt ferrite fabricated graphene oxide nanocomposite for efficient photocatalytic and antibacterial activities. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139531.

Abstract
Dyes and microbes are the main sources of water pollution and their treatment with titanium doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoTixFe2-xO4 NPs) is highly challenging due to the recombination ability of their electron-hole pairs which could be mitigated by making their composite with graphene oxide (GO). In the present study, titanium doped cobalt ferrite was fabricated on GO (CoTi0.2Fe1.8O4/GO NC) via the facile ultrasonication method and its confirmation was done by various analytical studies. Homogeneous dispersion of spherical CoTi0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs on the GO surface was realized by SEM analysis. Excellent crystallinity was corroborated by XRD while a Zeta Potential value -21.52 mV depicted exceptional stability. The photocatalytic power of CoTi0.2Fe1.8O/GO NC against Congo Red (CR) dye showed 91% degradation efficiency after 120 min visible light irradiation under optimum conditions of pH 9 and dye concentration 1 mg L-1 which was reasonably higher as compared to bare CoTi0.2Fe1.8O NPs (78% degradation efficiency). The improved photocatalytic performance is accredited to its narrow bandgap value (1.07 eV) and enhanced charge separation as indicated by the Tauc plot and Photoluminescence analysis, respectively. Additionally, CoTi0.2Fe1.8O/GO NC could be readily regenerated and reused five times with only ∼2% performance loss. Meanwhile, MICs of CoTi0.2Fe1.8O4/GO NC against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were 0.046 and 0.093 mg mL-1 while MBCs were 0.093 and 0.187 mg mL-1, respectively. Thereby, optimized NC can open new avenues for the degradation of dyes from polluted water besides acting as a promising antimicrobial agent by rupturing the cell walls of pathogens.

Abstract
A hydrothermal technique was employed to synthesize Ni/Mg/Al ternary L.D.H.s modified with montmorillonite (NMA-MMT-LDHs). Many characterization methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (S.E.M.), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (B.E.T.), were used to assess the physiochemical properties of the produced analytes. Congo red and methylene blue were utilized as model dyes to treat textile waste with the synthesized analytes. The batch adsorption model was utilized to conduct the adsorption experiments under varying contact time, adsorbent dosage, and solution pH conditions. A pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir adsorption model control the adsorption process. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of C.R. and M.B. were determined to be 344 and 200 mg/g, respectively. As the quantity of dosage increased from the 0.01-0.04 g, the percent removal efficiency (%) increased from 75 to 87 % for S2-LDH, 84-88 % for S2-MMT, 86-93 % for S3-MMT, and 95-97% for S4-MMT for C.R. dye and 82-85 % for S2-LDH, 83-89 % for S2-MMT, 83-91 % for S3-MMT, and 84-92 % for S4-MMT for M.B. dye. The removal percentage of C.R. dye for adsorbents S2-LDH, S2-MMT, S3-MMT, and S4-MMT were 75 %, 84 %, 86 %, and 95 %, respectively and 82 %, 83 %, 83 %, and 85 %, respectively for the M.B. dye removal. The presence of MMT significantly increases the affinity of Ni/Mg/Al-LDHs (NMA-LDHs), and the designed production technique can be used to produce a variety of compositionally distinct adsorbent materials.

Abstract
In recent years, water contamination has become a significant crisis, and it is crucial to find new materials that can efficiently eliminate these contaminants. The current work presents the Sm2CuO4 nanophotocatalyst for the decolorization of different water-soluble organic contaminants. The fabrication of Sm2CuO4 nanostructures was achieved using a simple and rapid sonochemical pathway, resulting in an optical bandgap of 1.62 eV as determined by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Several factors, including different organic contaminants, organic contaminant concentrations, Sm2CuO4 dosages, and the pH of the media, were scrutinized to achieve the best efficiency. The results manifested that Sm2CuO4 was highly effective in removing different organic contaminants from water. For example, when 30 mg of Sm2CuO4 was used with 20 mg L-1 methyl orange under visible irradiation for 100 min, 91.4% of the methyl orange was destroyed. Further investigation revealed that holes (h+) were primarily responsible for pollutant photodegradation when using Sm2CuO4 as a photocatalyst. This finding suggests that Sm2CuO4 could be an excellent candidate for developing new materials to effectively remove water contaminants.

Abstract
Activated carbon/GeO2 composites were synthesized using the sol-gel method and then used as catalysts for the photodegradation of organic pollutants methylene blue (MB) and congo red (CR). The composites were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to analyze the structure and chemical bonds of the composite materials, respectively. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption wavelength ranges of the composites toward the pollutants were 550-700 nm for MB and 450-550 for CR. The band gap energies of the composites were calculated, with the values found to be <4.5 eV. It was shown that the adsorption ability of the composites increased with the irradiation time of the pollutants. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics data were found to be a good fit to a pseudo-first-order kinetics model.

Abstract
Present investigation demonstrates the development and characterization of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) doped biochar nanohybrid photocatalysts. Biochar nanohybrid was synthesized using an ultrasonic-assisted dispersion technique, which involved dispersing SrTiO3 nanoparticles into activated biochar at a weight ratio of 1:2 (w/w) under ambient conditions. The development of the biochar nanohybrid was verified through a comprehensive analysis of their spectral, microstructural, thermal, electrical, and electrochemical properties. The scanning electron microscopy analysis reveals a surface-associated multiphase morphology of the biochar nanohybrid, attributed to the uniform distribution of SrTiO3 within the activated biochar matrix. Biochar nanohybrid exhibited a reduced optical band gap of 2.77 eV, accompanied by a crystallite size of 32.45. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed the thermal stability of the biochar nanohybrid, as evidenced by a char residue of 70.83% at 1000 °C. The working electrodes derived from biochar nanohybrid have exhibited ohmic behavior and displayed a significantly enhanced DC conductivity (mS/cm) of 1.13, surpassing that of activated biochar (0.53) and SrTiO3 (0.62) at 100 V. The developed biochar nanohybrid were employed for the degradation of congo red dye by exposing the dye solution to photocatalytic plates. These photocatalytic plates were prepared by coating biochar nanohybrid onto glass plates using epoxy-based reactive binders for secure binding. The photodegradation of congo red was evaluated through cyclic voltammetric analysis in a 0.1 M KCl solution at pH 8.0, resulting in an impressive 99.95% photocatalytic efficiency in degrading a congo red solution (50 mg/L). This study presents a novel approach for the fabrication of biochar nanohybrid-derived photocatalytic plates, offering high photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of congo red dye.

Abstract
Organic compounds are widespread pollutants in wastewater, causing significant risks for living organisms. In terms of advanced oxidation processes, photocatalysis is known as an effective technology for the oxidation and mineralization of numerous non-biodegradable organic contaminants. The underlying mechanisms of photocatalytic degradation can be explored through kinetic studies. In previous works, Langmuir-Hinshelwood and pseudo-first-order models were commonly applied to fit batch-mode experimental data, revealing critical kinetic parameters. However, the application or combination conditions of these models were inconsistent or ignored. This paper briefly reviews kinetic models and various factors influencing the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation. In this review, kinetic models are also systemized by a new approach to establish a general concept of a kinetic model for the photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
The continued pollution, waste, and unequal distribution of the limited amount of fresh water on earth are pushing the world into water scarcity crisis. Consequently, development of revolutionary, cost-effective, and efficient techniques for water purification is essential. Herein, molten flux method was used for the preparation of micro-sized Al-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst loaded with RhCr2O3 and CoOOH cocatalysts via simple impregnation method for the photo-assisted degradation of Congo red dye under UV and visible irradiation compared with P25 standard photocatalyst. In addition, photoelectrochemical analysis was conducted to reveal the separation and transfer efficiency of the photogenerated e-/h+ pairs playing the key role in photocatalysis. SEM and TEM analyses revealed that both P25 and the pristine SrTiO3 have spherical shapes, while Al-doped SrTiO3 and the sample loaded with cocatalysts have cubic shapes with a relatively higher particle size reaching 145 nm. In addition, the lowest bandgap is due to Al+3 ion doping and excessive surface oxygen vacancies, as confirmed by both UV-Vis diffuse-reflectance and XPS analyses. The loading of the cocatalysts resulted in a change in the bandgap from n-type (pristine SrTiO3 and Al-SrTiO3) into p-type (cocatalyst loaded sample) as exhibited by Mott-Schottky plots. Besides, the cocatalyst-loaded sample exhibited good performance stability after 5 cycles of the photocatalytic removal of Congo red dye. OH· radical was the primary species responsible for CR degradation as confirmed by experiments with radical scavengers. The observed performance of the prepared samples under both UV and visible light could foster the ongoing efforts towards more efficient photocatalysts for water purification.

Abstract
In this research, powdered Foeniculum vulgare seed (FVSP) was treated separately with H2C2O4, ZnCl2, and a mixture of ZnCl2-CuS. The characteristics of the treated and untreated FVSP samples, as well as their abilities to eliminate Congo red (CR) from solutions, were investigated. The influences of the empirical circumstances on CR adsorption by the ideal adsorbent were studied. The thermodynamic, isothermal, and dynamic constants of this adsorption were also inspected. The ideal adsorbent was found to be the FVSP sample treated with a ZnCl2-CuS mixture, which eliminated 96.80% of the CR dye. The empirical outcomes proved that this adsorption was significantly affected by the empirical circumstances, and the second-order dynamic model as well as the Langmuir isotherm model fit the empirical data better than the first-order model and the Freundlich model. The values of Ea (15.3 kJ/mol) and ∆Ho (32.767 kJ/mol ≤ ∆Ho ≤ 35.495 kJ/mol) evidence that CR anions were endothermally adsorbed on Zn/Cu-FVSP via the ionic exchange mechanism. The superior Qmax values (434.78, 625.00, 833.33 mg/g), along with the cheapness and stability of the adsorbent used in this work, are evidence to confirm that this adsorbent will receive special interest in the field of contaminated water purification.

Abstract
The occurrence of textile dyeing wastewater discharged into the environment has been recently increasing, resulting in harmful effects on living organisms and human health. The use of green nanoparticles for water decontamination has received much attention. Floral waste can be extracted with the release of natural compounds, which act as reducing and stabilizing agents during the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Herein, we report the utilization of Chrysanthemum spp. floral waste extract to synthesize green ZnFe2O4@ZnO (ZFOZx) nanocomposites for the photocatalytic degradation of Congo red under solar light irradiation. The various molar ratio of ZnFe2O4 (0-50%) was incorporated into ZnO nanoparticles. The surface area of green ZFOZx nanocomposites was found to increase (7.41-42.66 m2 g-1) while their band gap energy decreased from 1.98 eV to 1.92 eV. Moreover, the results exhibited the highest Congo red dye degradation efficiency of 94.85% at a concentration of 5.0 mg L-1, and a catalyst dosage of 0.33 g L-1. The •O2- reactive species played a vital role in the photocatalytic degradation of Congo red dye. Green ZFOZ3 nanocomposites had good recyclability with at least three cycles, and an excellent stability. The germination results showed that wastewater treated by ZFOZ3 was safe enough for bean seed germination. We expect that this work contributes significantly to developing novel green bio-based nanomaterials for environmental remediation as well as reducing the harm caused by flower wastes.

Photocatalytic activity of visible-light-driven L-Proline-TiO 2/BiOBr nanostructured materials for dyes degradation: The role of generated reactive species. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 326:116691. [PMID: 36402013 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
L-Proline (2%)-TiO2/BiOBr (30%) nanocomposite was synthesized to obtain high photocatalytic performance in the visible light region and infrared radiation(IR) for methylene blue (MB) and congo red (CR) removal from the contaminated wastewater. L-Proline (2%)-TiO2/BiOBr (30%) photocatalyst with strong absorption near IR wavelength and high charge separation ability was fabricated for the first time. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)/Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) characterization techniques show that the visible driven nanocomposite was successfully synthesized. According to the UV-DRS analysis, the estimated band gaps for the L-proline (2%)-TiO2 and L-Proline (2%)-TiO2/BiOBr (30%) nanostructures were respectively 2.3 eV and 2.1 eV.The nanoparticles exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity (93-100%) and high mineralization efficiency (71-89% TOC removal) for both the dyes. The best photocatalytic activity was achieved by adding 2 wt% of L-Proline and 30 wt% of BiOBr into TiO2 sol. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to find significant parameters and their optimum values for maximum degradation, which show pH, dye concentration, irradiation time, and catalyst dosage for both the dyes are significant. The best photocatalytic degradation efficiency was achieved at the optimum conditions of pH = 7.7, catalyst dosage = 0.71 g/L, irradiation time = 142 and dye concentration = 11 mg/L for MB. Scavenger study showed that •OH radicals are responsible for the degradation process.

Abstract
NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO magnetic was successfully synthesized using NiFe2O4, SiO2, and NiO as the core, interlayer, and shell, respectively. NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO under UV light irradiation was used for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye with different pH, catalyst dose, and initial dye concentration. This composite was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDs), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Point of Zero Charge (pHpzc). The results showed that the composite is a superparamagnetic material with a saturation magnetization value of 44.13 emu/g. It also has a band gap of 2.67 eV with a pHpzc of 6.33. The optimum conditions for photocatalytic degradation were at pH of 4; 0.50 g/L catalyst dose, and 10 mg/L initial concentration. NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO degradation efficiency to methyl orange dye was 95.76%. The photocatalytic degradation in different concentrations follows the pseudo-first-order, where the greater the concentration, the smaller the constant rate (k). After five cycles of repeated usage, NiFe2O4/SiO2/NiO has good catalytic performance as well as efficient and favourable of a recyclable photocatalyst.

Abstract
Three different types (blank, annealed, and functionalized) of copper ferrite nanoparticles (CuFe2O4) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The CuFe2O4 NPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. FTIR analysis confirmed that 3-APTES is successfully grafted on the surface of CuFe2O4 NPs. XRD results show the amorphous nature of blank CuFe2O4 NPs, and crystalline structure was observed for annealed and functionalized CuFe2O4 NPs. XRD results revealed that crystallite size ranges from 23.6 to 34.6 nm. SEM micrographs of blank CuFe2O4 NPs show the irregular shape and size of the nanostructure. The spherical and strongly linked structure was seen in the micrograph of functionalized CuFe2O4 NPs. EDX analysis revealed the nanostructure composed of Fe, Cu, O, and a small percentage of Si. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of synthesized CuFe2O4 NPs was examined under UV irradiation in an aqueous medium against bromophenol blue (BPB) dye. The effect of different parameters such as irradiation time and pH on the photodegradation of BPB dye was studied by all three types of CuFe2O4 photocatalyst. Results show that the maximum photocatalytic degradation efficiency was observed for functionalized CuFe2O4 nanoparticles that degraded 98% of BPB dye in the acidic medium at pH = 1. The optimum contact time for dye degradation was 120 min by synthesized photocatalyst. Photodegradation performance of blank and annealed CuFe2O4 NPs is less than 90%. The synthesized CuFe2O4 NPs were recycled and reused, which shows good photocatalytic degradation efficiency up to 4 consecutive cycles. The kinetic model displayed that degradation reaction followed pseudo 1st order kinetics. The blank, annealed, and functionalized CuFe2O4 NPs have turnover numbers of 10.7x10 (Mudhoo et al., 2019), 12.9x10 (Mudhoo et al., 2019), and 22.2x10 (Mudhoo et al., 2019) (kg-1 sec-1) accordingly. In conclusion, all results revealed the high efficiency of prepared photocatalyst for tested hazardous dye from wastewater and encouraged more work on photodegradation of organic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Calcium, with its excellent adsorptive property and higher permissible limits in the environment, emerges as an effective wastewater treatment earth metal. Most of the catalysts, photocatalysts, and adsorbents reported in the literature have heavy metal complex, which creates a leaching problem. Majorly, precursors used for the synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts for wastewater treatment are costly. Therefore, the use of such precursors would be not suitable and feasible approach from an economic point of view. This review work is focused on giving an overview of the utilisation of calcium-based catalysts (adsorbents and photocatalyst) for the removal/degradation of various types of dye water pollutants and summarises the reported effects of calcium as a base on the removal efficiency of dopants. In this article, an extensive literature survey is presented on the various photocatalysts developed and the different syntheses involved in their preparation. As the utilisation of marble powder is a green sustainable approach, the scope of various calcium-based photocatalysts and their application is presented. This article also aims for the elementary and inclusive determination of the effect of introducing calcium as a base for different catalysts and adsorbents.

Abstract
AbstractIn the present study, the nano-silver-doped flax fibers (NAgDFF) are prepared in two steps. In the first step, oxidation of the flax fibers is performed by potassium periodate to form dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and the second step is the reduction of silver ions by DAC. A series of characterization techniques of the photocatalyst NAgDFF was carried out using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption isotherm, thermogravimetric analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The dye degradation potential of NAgDFF for methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV) and brilliant green (BG) (individually or mixture) was investigated using batch and column tests. The degradation efficiency was studied under optimized conditions such as pH (5.0), dye initial concentrations (100 ppm for MB and BG, and 150 ppm for CV), contact time (3.0 h), photocatalyst NAgDFF dose (0.08 g) and temperature (25° C). The maximum degradation efficiency of NAgDFF for MB, CV and BG is 64.75, 94.98 and 63.87 (mg/g), respectively. The kinetic studies show that the experimental data match well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, equilibrium isotherm data were analyzed according to Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich equations. The thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption processes of cationic dyes on the NAgDFF fibers were also calculated; the negative value of ΔG° indicated the spontaneous nature of sorption. NAgDFF fibers were successfully applied for photodegradation of the investigated cationic dyes from different samples. The study was extended to investigate the biological activity of newly synthesized NAgDFF against various microorganisms.

Abstract
Water pollution has become a critical issue because of the Industrial Revolution, growing populations, extended droughts, and climate change. Therefore, advanced technologies for wastewater remediation are urgently needed. Water contaminants are generally classified as microorganisms and inorganic/organic pollutants. Inorganic pollutants are toxic and some of them are carcinogenic materials, such as cadmium, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Organic pollutants are contained in various materials, including organic dyes, pesticides, personal care products, detergents, and industrial organic wastes. Nanostructured materials could be potential candidates for photocatalytic reduction and for photodegradation of organic pollutants in wastewater since they have unique physical, chemical, and optical properties. Enhanced photocatalytic performance of nanostructured semiconductors can be achieved using numerous techniques; nanostructured semiconductors can be doped with different species, transition metals, noble metals or nonmetals, or a luminescence agent. Furthermore, another technique to enhance the photocatalytic performance of nanostructured semiconductors is doping with materials that have a narrow band gap. Nanostructure modification, surface engineering, and heterojunction/homojunction production all take significant time and effort. In this review, I report on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials, and we discuss the photocatalytic performance of these nanostructured materials in reducing environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Magnetic Molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) have been recently recognized as an exceptional tool for monitoring and decontamination of environmental and biological samples of diverse nature. Based on the potential applications as sorbents and biomimetic sensors, herein, a core-shell magnetic-molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was developed as a selective material for separation and sensing of sunset yellow (SY) dye in an aqueous environment and real samples. The MMIP was synthesized via precipitation polymerization using SY as a template, MAA as a functional monomer (chosen based on simulation studies), EGDMA as a cross-linking agent, and AIBN as an initiator. To elaborate the specificity of MMIP, a comparative agent, magnetic non-imprinted polymer (MNIP) was also synthesized. The XRD results showed that the MMIP showed both crystalline and amorphous structure attributed to the presence and polymeric and non-polymeric groups. The FTIR spectra confirmed synthesis of intermediate and final MMIP product. The SEM results showed spherical morphology and porous structure of the MMIP with an average particle size of 0.636 μm in diameter. The MMIP was first employed as a sorbent for the removal of SY from the aqueous environment. The binding experiments performed at optimized operating conditions (pH 2; time 30 min; sorbent dosage 3 mg; sorbate concentration 80 ppm) showed more selectivity when compared with MNIP. The data fitted best to Langmuir's sorption isotherm (Qo 359.8 mg/g) and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The synthesized MMIP was also used as an electrochemical sensor for detection of SY dye in the aqueous environment, which exhibited a linear range of detection as (1.51 × 10-6 - 1.5 × 10-3 M). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.00413 M and 0.0137 M, respectively. While the R2 value was found to be 0.997 at optimized analytical conditions. These results suggested that the synthesized MMIP can be applied for the selective separation and quantification of SY dye in sample of diverse nature.

Abstract
This research reports the synthesized CoFe2O4/SiO2/Ag magnetic composite used as a photocatalyst to degrade Congo red dye and antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The catalysts were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS, VSM, UV-DRS, and pHpzc. The effects of photocatalyst dose (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 g/L), dye concentration (10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/L), and irradiation time (0–210 minutes) were all examined as photocatalytic degradation variables. The results showed that the CoFe2O4/SiO2/Ag composite was superparamagnetic with a saturation magnetization of 41.82 emu/g and had a band gap of 1.82 eV. The highest efficiency of decreasing the concentration of Congo red dye of 93.70% was obtained with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L, a catalyst dose of 0.5 g/L, and an irradiation time of 180 minutes. This study indicated that the composite had antibacterial properties against Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria with the same MIC value of 1.25%. These results indicated that the CoFe2O4/SiO2/Ag composite has significant potential for applications in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
AbstractIn this work, a magnetically separated photocatalyst with great efficiency CuCe-Ferrite/TiO2 composite was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transformer infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Single-phase cubic spinel was formed by calcining the prepared sample at a temperature of 550 °C, according to the results. Different concentrations of reactive red 250 (RR250) dye photodegradation was evaluated using different doses of CuCe-ferrite/ TiO2 and TiO2 NPs. Higher efficiency of RR250 photodegradation up to 100% was obtained using CuCe-ferrite/ TiO2. The photodegradation efficiency was confirmed using chemical oxygen demand (COD) test of both treated and untreated samples. The oxidation process was mostly mediated by photogenerated .O2− according to scavenger test results. The catalyst possess higher photodegradation efficiency even after regeneration for ten times.

Abstract
The Congo Red dye was removed from a simulated textile wastewater solution using fly ash from a local power plant. The characterisation of fly ash was studied in detail by SEM, EDX, XRD, FTIR, BET surface area and TGA techniques. The influence of four parameters (contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and temperature) was analysed, the results showing that the adsorption capacity depends on these parameters. Thermodynamic and regeneration investigations as well are presented. The fit to pseudo-second-order kinetics models suggests that the removal process is a chemical adsorption. The Langmuir model fitted the experimental data, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 22.12 mg/g. The research is a preliminary case study that highlights that fly ash posed a very good potential as a material for Congo Red dye removal.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emergent group of crystalline porous materials that have gained incredible interest in recent years. With foreseeable controllable functionalities and structural configurations, the constructions and catalytic properties of these organic polymeric materials can be controlled to fabricate targeted materials. The specified monomer linkers and pre-designed architecture of COFs facilitate the post-synthetic modifications for introducing novel functions and useful properties. By virtue of inherent porosity, robust framework, well-ordered geometry, functionality, higher stability, and amenability to functionalization, COFs and COFs-based composites are regarded as prospective nanomaterials for environmental clean-up and remediation. This report spotlights the state-of-the-art advances and progress in COFs-based materials to efficiently mitigate pharmaceutical-based environmental pollutants from aqueous solutions. Synthesis approaches, structure, functionalization, and sustainability aspects of COFs are discussed. Moreover, the adsorptive and photocatalytic potential of COFs and their derived nanocomposites for removal and degradation of pharmaceuticals are thoroughly vetted. In addition to deciphering adsorption mechanism/isotherms, the stability, regeneratability and reproducibility are also delineated. Lastly, the outcomes are summed up, and new directions are proposed to widen the promise of COF-based smart materials in diverse fields.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a polymer hybrid family of compounds comprising metal ions that have been deliberately incorporated in organic ligands to form several multi-dimensional structures with unique structural and functional attributes. They have the typical properties of brittleness, major porosity, and randomly crystalline. These three factors hampered their potential incorporation into modern technologies. However, with the discovery of their polymers, hope was rekindled. Polymers, unlike their counterparts, are versatile and malleable and can be tailored into solids with a wide range of technical applications. MOFs can be effectively incorporated into polymer structures, resulting in polymers with enhanced properties and increased demand, according to recent studies. This review focuses on the synthetic procedures of MOFs used to create hybrid materials, as well as their potential environmentally related applications. Desalination, hazardous heavy metal removal and mitigation, gas and liquid separations and purifications, and dye removal will all be extensively discussed as applications. To assemble this review, we will add insight from recent papers and discoveries, as well as seminal reports from experts on the advancement of MOF-polymers.

Abstract
Textile industry is one of the most environmental unfriendly industrial processes due to the massive generation of colored wastewater contaminated with dyes and other chemical auxiliaries. These contaminants are known to have undesirable consequences to ecosystem. The present study investigated the best operating parameters for the removal of congo red (CR, as the model for dye wastewater) by orange peels extract biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) via photocatalysis in an aqueous solution. The response surface methodology (RSM) with ZnO NPs loadings (0.05-0.20 g), pH (3.00-11.00), and initial CR concentration (5-20 ppm) were used for the optimization process. The applicability of ZnO NPs in the dye wastewater treatment was evaluated based on the techno-economic analysis (TEA). ZnO NPs exhibited hexagonal wurtzite structure with = C-H, C-O, -C-O-C, CC, O-H as the main functional groups. The maximum degradation of CR was more than 96% with 0.171 g of ZnO NPs, at pH 6.43 and 5 ppm of CR and 90% of the R2 coefficient. The specific cost of ZnO NPs production is USD 20.25 per kg. These findings indicated that the biosynthesized ZnO NPs with orange peels extract provides alternative method for treating dye wastewater.

Abstract
At present, environmental contamination has become an emerging issue among researchers. These facts are due to the adverse impacts of an alarming number of recalcitrant contaminants that can affect both humans and animals. There is an urgent need to develop eco-friendly approaches to mitigate the effects of toxic pollutants from the environment. Magnetically responsive composite-based sorbents are very interesting and popular materials for pollutant abatement owing to the high specific surface area, superior adsorption capacity, and magnetic properties, which make their easy separation from sample solution/media. In this review article, we discuss various synthesis approaches, key physicochemical properties, and applications of magnetic composites for pollutant removal. Current gaps for coping with contamination are identified, and a comprehensive outlook in pollutant treatment using magnetic composites is outlined. This study unveils new horizons to researches for better understanding the properties of magnetically-composite-based sorbents and their application in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Here, a novel bismuth-doped nickel-cobalt ferrite (Ni0.5Co0.5Bi0.1Fe1.9O4) was synthesized using a sol-gel auto-combustion approach. The impact of bismuth substitution on the nickel-cobalt ferrite structural characteristics was investigated relative to the nickel-cobalt ferrite without bismuth substitution (Ni0.5Co0.5Fe2O4) based on diverse technical options (e.g., scanning electron microscopy-equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, physisorption, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy). Bismuth doping increased the surface area without affecting pore size. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed a nano-ferrite cubic spinel structure of the catalyst. Photodegradation of Congo red (CR) was tested using these nickel-cobalt ferrite catalysts under visible light across varying reaction parameters (e.g., pH, catalyst loading, dye concentration, and reaction time). The photo-degradation efficiency for CR in aqueous medium was the highest (98%) at pH 3 with 0.2 g catalyst loading in 100 mL under visible irradiation to reinforce the role of nanostructures as a potent photocatalyst (QY = 2.79 × 10-7 molecule photon-1). The kinetic reaction rate of Bi-doped spinel ferrite (3.5 µmol g-1 h-1) was1.25 times higher than those undoped materials. This study experimentally proved that the bismuth-doped nickel-cobalt ferrite photocatalyst is an effective option for removing industrial dyes.

Abstract
A novel adsorbent prepared from the leaf powder of Teucrium polium L. (TPLLP) was characterized and its ability for adsorption of Cong red (CR) was inspected. Influences of CR concentration, adsorbent dosage, time of agitation, pH of solution, and temperature on the performance of this adsorption were also examined. Three models of kinetic along with three different isotherm models were applied for analyzing the empirical data of this adsorption. Additionally, the thermodynamic constants of were decided. The surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pHZPC of Zn/Cu-TPLLP were found to be 2.6436 m2.g-1, 0.013317 cm3.g-1, 527.393 Å, and 8.8, respectively. The achieved outcomes indicate the positive influence of temperature, concentration of CR in the range of 20 to 900 mg/L, adsorbent mass in the range of 0.005 to 0.02 g, time of adsorption from 0 to 120 min, and pH from 5.5 to 8.5. Models of the 2nd order with
and Langmuir with
were the best among the other kinetic and isotherm models applied in this research. Moreover, superior capacities of 526.32, 666.67, and 909.09 (mg.g-1) were stemmed at 27, 42, and 57°C, respectively. The outcomes of the thermodynamic evidenced that this adsorption is spontaneous and a heat absorber.

Abstract
From metal-organic chemistry, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of supreme interest for catalysis and environmental settings. Owing to anthropogenic sources and booming industrial practices, the most challenging issue is increased water pollution and environmental insecurity. For instance, several types of synthetic dyes are toxic up to a certain extent, as emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) pose adverse environmental and potential health consequences. A gradual increase in the contamination sources and unpredictable environmental changes in terms of anthropogenic pollution severely affect both water availability and distribution. Therefore, the treatment of dyes containing wastewater matrices for water resource generation is one of the most important tasks, which must be addressed effectively. With structural tunability, MOFs have been appearing as a robust tool for remediating toxic pollutants from wastewater matrices. Moreover, the promising functionality, structural tunability, robust catalytic attributes, compatibility, large surface area, stability in water, and ease in surface functionalization make MOFs one of the considerable materials of interest. This review work spotlights the present-day progress related to MOFs and their catalytic and adsorptive chemistry for a sustainable environment. Following a brief introduction, the characteristic rendering MOFs, as adsorbents, are given with prominent examples. Next, several synthesis routes as a roadmap to engineer MOFs are discussed. From the applied perspective, the adsorptive and catalytic potentialities of MOFs as given by addressing sustainable mitigation of toxic dyes. The last section of the work illustrates key challenging issues and future directions by considering the suiting importance of MOFs.

Mesoporous ferromagnetic manganese ferrite nanoparticles for enhanced visible light mineralization of azoic dye into nontoxic by-products. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 765:142707. [PMID: 33069475 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a one pot facile synthesis of ferromagnetic manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MnFe2O4) was carried out using chemical co-precipitation method for mineralization of azo dye (Congo red (CR)) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The synthesized MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were highly crystalline and showed face-centred cubic (FCC) structure with average particle size of 58 ± 4 nm. The BET analysis of the MnFe2O4 nanoparticles revealed the mesoporous distribution of material with high surface area can provide large electro active sites and short diffusion paths for the transport of ions which plays a vital role in the photocatalytic degradation of CR. The point of zero charge (pHPZC) was observed to be 6.7 indicating favourable condition for material-anionic dye interaction. The XPS studies revealed that the large amounts of oxygen vacancies were produced due to the defects in the lattice oxygen. The MnFe2O4 nanoparticles mineralised 98.3 ± 0.2% of 50 mg/L CR within 30 min when tested in photocatalytic reactor under 565 nm. The particles were recoverable under the influence of an external magnet after the photocatalytic reaction and were reusable. The recovered nanoparticles showed 96% of CR degradation efficiency even after five cycles of reuse. The by-product analysis with GC-MS indicated mineralization of CR into simple alcohols and acids. The aqueous solution containing mineralised CR was nontoxic to Trigonella foenumgraecum and Vigna mungo seeds and favoured increased germination, plumule and radicle length when compared to untreated CR.

Abstract
Wastewater emerging from the industries containing organic pollutants is a severe threat to humans' health and aquatic life. Therefore, the degradation of highly poisonous organic dye pollutants is necessary to ensure public health and environmental protection. To tackle this problem, visible-light-driven ternary metal selenide nanocomposites were synthesized successfully by the solvothermal method and supported by chitosan microspheres (FeNiSe-CHM). The prepared nanoparticles were capped in chitosan microspheres to avoid leaching and facilitate easy recovery of the catalyst. FTIR spectrum confirmed the synthesis of nanocomposite and nanocomposite-chitosan microspheres (FeNiSe-CHM). Based on the SEM images, the nanomaterial and FeNiSe-CHM has an average particle size of 64 nm and 874 μm, respectively. The presence of iron, nickel and selenium elements in the EDX spectrum revealed the synthesis of FeNiSe-NPs. XRD analysis determined the crystallite structure of nanocomposites as 14.2 nm. The photocatalyst has a crystalline structure and narrow bandgap of 2.09 eV. Moreover, the as-synthesized FeNiSe-CHM were employed for the photodegradation of carcinogenic and mutagenic Congo red dye. The catalyst microspheres showed efficient photocatalytic degradation efficiency of up to 99% for Congo red dye under the optimized conditions of 140 min, pH 6.0, dye concentration 60 ppm and catalyst dose of 0.2 g in the presence of sunlight irradiation following the second-order kinetics. After five consecutive cycles, it showed a slight loss in the degradation efficiency. In conclusion, the results demonstrate a high potential of chitosan-based ternary metal selenide nanocomposites for abatement of dye pollutants from the industrial wastewater.
