Synthesis, characterization and adsorption optimization of bimetallic La-Zn metal organic framework for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28622. [PMID: 38689963 PMCID: PMC11059553 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28622] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
To eliminate the hazardous pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (2,4-D) through aqueous solutions, stacked nanorods known as hetero bimetallic organic frameworks (MOFs) of 2-methyl imidazole based on lanthanum and zinc are created. The research's convincing discoveries displayed that La/Zn-MOF is an actual adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-D through aqueous solutions. The La/Zn-MOF was investigated using a variability of techniques, with scanning electron microscope (SEM), powered X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) investigation. La/Zn-MOF has a significant pore capacity of 1.04 cm³/g and a comparatively large surface area of 897.69 m2/g. Our findings, which are quite intriguing, demonstrate that adsorption behavior is pointedly wedged by variations in pH. A pH 6 dose of 0.02 g was shown to be the optimal setting for the greatest capacity for adsorption. Because adsorption is an endothermic process, temperature variations affect its capability. The adsorption method was fit both isothermally and kinetically using the Langmuir isotherm classical. It was created that the entire process made use of a chemisorption mechanism. Solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and time were all improved using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). We were able to accurately calculate the values of ΔHo, ΔSo, and ΔGo for 2,4-D by following the guidelines. These results demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic character of the adsorption procedure employing La/Zn-MOF as an adsorbent. Adsorption-desorption cycles can be carried out up to five times. With the synthesized La/Zn-MOF adsorbent due to its exceptional reusability. Many processes, such π-π interaction, pore filling, H-bonding, or electrostatic contact, were postulated to explain the connection between La/Zn-MOF and 2,4-D after extra research to appreciate well the link was conducted. This is the first study to demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing La/Zn-MOF as an adsorbent to eliminate 2,4-D from wastewater models. The results display that a pH of 6 is required to achieve the maximal 2,4-D adsorption capability on La/Zn-MOF, which is 307.5 mg/g.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 343:123140. [PMID: 38103712 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123140] [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: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Emerging contaminants in wastewater are one of the growing concerns because of their adverse effects on human health and ecosystems. Adsorption technology offers superior performance due to its cost-effectiveness, stability, recyclability, and reliability in maintaining environmental and health standards for toxic pollutants. Despite extensive research on the use of traditional adsorbents to remove emerging contaminants, their expensiveness, lack of selectivity, and complexity of regeneration remain some of the challenges. Industrial wastes viz. blast furnace slag, red mud, and copper slag can be used to develop efficacious adsorbents for the treatment of emerging contaminants in water. Advantages of the use of such industrial wastes include resource utilization, availability, cost-effectiveness, and waste management. Nevertheless, little is known so far about their application, removal efficacy, adsorption mechanisms, and limitations in the treatment of emerging contaminants. A holistic understanding of the application of such unique industrial waste-derived adsorbents in removing emerging contaminants from water is need of the hour to transform this technology from bench-scale to pilot and large-scale applications. This review investigates different water treatment techniques associated with industrial waste-based adsorbents derived from blast furnace slag, red mud, and copper slag. Besides, this review provides important insights into the growing trends of utilizing such novel types of adsorbents to remove emerging contaminants from water with an emphasis on removal efficacy, controlling measures, adsorption mechanisms, advantages, and limitations. The present timely review brings the current state of knowledge into a single reference which could be a strong platform for future research in understanding the latest advancements, decision making, and financial management related to the treatment of wastewater using industrial waste-based adsorbents.

Kinetic Modelling the Solid-Liquid Extraction Process of Scandium from Red Mud: Influence of Acid Composition, Contact Time and Temperature. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6998.

Abstract
Industry represents a fundamental component of modern society, with the generation of massive amounts of industrial waste being the inevitable result of development activities in recent years. Red mud is an industrial waste generated during alumina production using the Bayer process of refining bauxite ore. It is a highly alkaline waste due to the incomplete removal of NaOH. There are several opinions in both the literature and legislation on the hazards of red mud. According to European and national legislation, this mud is not on the list of hazardous wastes; however, if the list of criteria are taken into account, it can be considered as hazardous. The complex processing of red mud is cost-effective because it contains elements such as iron, manganese, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, strontium, lead, copper, cadmium, bismuth, barium and rare earths, especially scandium. Therefore, the selection of an extraction method depends on the form in which the element is present in solution. Extraction is one of the prospective separation and concentration methods. In this study, we evaluated the kinetic modelling of the solid-liquid acid extraction process of predominantly scandium as well as other elements present in red mud. Therefore, three acids (HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4) at different concentrations (10, 20 and 30%) were targeted for the extraction of Sc(III) from solid red mud. Specific parameters of the kinetics of the extraction process were studied, namely the solid:liquid ratio, initial acid concentration, contact time and temperature. The extraction kinetics of Sc(III) with acids was evaluated using first- and second-order kinetic models, involving kinetic parameters, rate constants, saturation concentration and activation energy. The second-order kinetic model was able to describe the mechanism of Sc(III) extraction from red mud. In addition, this study provides an overview on the mechanism of mass transfer involved in the acid extraction process of Sc(III), thereby enabling the design, optimization and control of large-scale processes for red mud recovery.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials have been widely applied as adsorbents, but there are some factors that affect their efficiency. In this context, advances in nanotechnology provide new and more efficient methodologies for water treatment. This study evaluated the efficiency of a novel carbon-based adsorbent developed from Brazilian polyacrylonitrile textile fiber and functionalized with iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from the aqueous medium. The synthesized adsorbent (ACF-Fe3O4) was characterized by FTIR, XRD, VSM, Zeta potential, SEM, EDX, and TEM. The characterization techniques showed that the adsorbent has peaks characteristic of its precursors and superparamagnetic characteristics, confirming the efficiency of the synthesis method. The adsorption tests evaluated the influence of adsorbent dosage, pH of the contaminant solution, contact time and temperature on the removal of 2,4-D. The experimental data were better adjusted by the pseudo-second order kinetic model and by the Langmuir isothermal model. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the process is exothermic, spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable. Under the best experimental conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 51.10 mg g-1 with an adsorbent concentration of 0.33 g L-1, natural pH of the solution, temperature of 288 K at the equilibrium time of six hours. Adsorbent reusage was studied in four desorption cycles. The adsorption mechanism can be explained through π-π bonds, hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The prepared material presented high-efficiency adsorption capacity of 2,4-D compared to other carbonaceous materials present in the literature, demonstrating its viability for the removal of this contaminant from the aqueous medium.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a material known for its multifunctionality, chemical stability, and high surface area, are now commonly utilized as an adsorbent for water treatment. The MOF (MIL-88(Fe)-NH2) was synthesized and used to remove the commonly used toxic herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from water. The MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 MOF was fully characterized using multiple techniques. A systematic investigation was conducted to evaluate the key parameters that impact the adsorption process, which include coexisting anions, adsorbent dosage, and solution pH. The adsorption isotherm was fitted using the Langmuir model, while the kinetics were fitted using pseudo-second-order. The adsorption process was both chemisorption and endothermic. The capacity for adsorption increased with rising temperatures. The MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 adsorbent has a maximum adsorption capacity of 345.25 mg g-1 for removing 2,4-D, significantly higher than previous adsorbents used for this purpose. The adsorption mechanism could be ascribed to hydrogen bonding, pore filling, π-π conjugations between the 2,4-D molecules and the MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 adsorbent, and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 adsorbent showed only a slight decrease after five successive recycles, and it could be easily regenerated through solvent washing. When used in environmental water samples, especially those containing electronic wastes, the MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 adsorbent demonstrated satisfactory adsorption capacity and reusability. The MIL-88(Fe)-NH2 adsorbent is more practical and reusable and has better adsorption capacity and shorter equilibrium time compared to previously reported adsorbents.

Abstract
The increasing consumption of phenoxyacetic acid-derived herbicides is becoming a major public health and environmental concern, posing a serious challenge to existing conventional water treatment systems. Among the various physicochemical and biological purification processes, adsorption is considered one of the most efficient and popular techniques due to its high removal efficiency, ease of operation, and cost effectiveness. This review article provides extensive literature information on the adsorption of phenoxyacetic herbicides by various adsorbents. The purpose of this article is to organize the scattered information on the currently used adsorbents for herbicide removal from the water, such as activated carbons, carbon and silica adsorbents, metal oxides, and numerous natural and industrial waste materials known as low-cost adsorbents. The adsorption capacity of these adsorbents was compared for the two most popular phenoxyacetic herbicides, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). The application of various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms in describing the removal of these herbicides by the adsorbents was also presented and discussed. At the beginning of this review paper, the most important information on phenoxyacetic herbicides has been collected, including their classification, physicochemical properties, and occurrence in the environment.

Abstract
The growing concern about environmental damage and the inability to meet the demand for more versatile, environmentally friendly materials has sparked increasing interest in polymer composites derived from renewable and biodegradable plant-based materials, mainly from forests. These composites are mostly referred to as "green" and they can be widely employed in many industrial applications. Green composites are less harmful to the environment and could be potential substitutes for petroleum-based polymeric materials. It is helpful to limit usage of fossil oil assets by developing biopolymer matrices such as cellulose-reinforced biocomposites using renewable assets such as plant oils, carbohydrates, and proteins. This paper focuses on green composites processing utilizing a variety of naturally available resources, sustainable materials which are not detrimental to the environment, new scientific signs of progress in achieving green sustainable development, as well as nanotechnology and its environmental consequences. Additionally, the environmental impacts of different composite materials are examined in this paper, along with their production from eco-friendly materials. Moreover, the manufacturing aspects of green composites and some concerns related to their production are also discussed. The merits of green composite materials and valid reasons why they are a valuable substitute for the traditionally used composite materials are also covered.

Abstract
Low-temperature plasma (LTP) technology has been successfully used to treat persistent organic pollutants in water. Efforts have been devoted to combine catalysts and LTP to improve the degradation efficiency of pollutants and energy utilization efficiency. Herein, industrial solid waste red mud as a novel catalyst was added to an LTP system to treat crystalline violet (CV) wastewater. The energy yield at 50% CV decomposition and TOC after a 30 min reaction by the plasma treatment, red mud adsorption, and red mud/plasma treatment were compared. The effects of the main operating parameters, such as red mud dosing amount, initial pH, discharge voltage, and initial concentration of CV, on the removal efficiency of CV were investigated. The best degradation of CV was achieved with a red mud dosage of 2 g, a neutral environment, and a discharge voltage of 22 kV. When the red mud was recycled three times, the removal efficiency decreased a little in the red mud/plasma system. Hydroxyl radical plays an important role in the treatment of CV. The red mud was characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, and FT-IR, and the structure of the red mud was not greatly affected after being used in the red mud/plasma system.

Abstract
Characteristic emerging pollutants at low concentration have raised much attention for causing a bottleneck in water remediation, especially in complex water matrices where high concentration of interferents coexist. In the future, tailored treatment methods are therefore of increasing significance for accurate removal of target pollutants in different water matrices. This critical review focuses on the overall strategies for accurately removing highly toxic emerging pollutants in the presence of typical interferents. The main difficulties hindering the improvement of selectivity in complex matrices are analyzed, implying that it is difficult to adopt a universal approach for multiple targets and water substrates. Selective methods based on assorted principles are proposed aiming to improve the anti-interference ability. Thus, typical approaches and fundamentals to achieve selectivity are subsequently summarized including their mechanism, superiority and inferior position, application scope, improvement method and the bottlenecks. The results show that different methods may be applicable to certain conditions and target pollutants. To better understand the mechanism of each selective method and further select the appropriate method, advanced methods for qualitative and quantitative characterization of selectivity are presented. The processes of adsorption, interaction, electron transfer, and bond breaking are discussed. Some comparable selective quantitative methods are helpful for promoting the development of related fields. The research framework of selectivity removal and its fundamentals are established. Presently, although continuous advances and remarkable achievements have been attained in the selective removal of characteristic organic pollutants, there are still various substantial challenges and opportunities. It is hopeful to inspire the researches on the new generation of water and wastewater treatment technology, which can selectively and preferentially treat characteristic pollutants, and establish a reliable research framework to lead the direction of environmental science.

Abstract
Herein, a new magnetic hydrochar was prepared through co-hydrothermal treatment of vinasse with red mud, two abundant industrial wastes, and its adsorption property was evaluated on Pb(II), selected model ion in aqueous solution. During co-hydrothermal process, Fe2O3 species in red mud was reduced to Fe3O4 form, hereby, in situ magnetization of hydrochar was achieved, which was confirmed by characterization studies. Produced hydrochar with porous structure (Vtotal = 0.071 cm3/g and BET surface area = 23 m2/g) had saturation magnetization (44.7 emu/g), providing easier separation from water by a magnet. Maximum Pb(II) adsorption was favored at pH ≥ 5.0 within 120 min of equilibrium time and Freundlich isotherm model was preferable. The contribution percentage of different mechanisms including cation-exchange (40.8 %), (electrostatic attraction + "cation-π" interaction) (31.2 %), precipitation (25.4 %) and complexation (2.6 %) to overall Pb(II) adsorption indicated that cation-exchange was the dominant mechanism. Finally, application to fortified real water demonstrated that in situ magnetic hydrochar produced by suggested approach was successful at adsorptive removal of Pb(II) from water with no matrix effects.

Abstract
Modified biochar has great potential for adsorbing cadmium (Cd) in the aquatic environment, but the micro-immobilization mechanisms, driven by surface modifications, remain unclear. There has been no attempt to determine the key adsorption factors by integrating the numerous physiochemical indicators. In this study, surface oxidized biochar (OPBC) and surface aminated biochar (APBC) were prepared from porous biochar (PBC), and the Cd adsorption mechanisms by the modified biochars at the molecular and electronic scales were investigated. The adsorption capacity of APBC and OPBC for Cd was 23.54 and 19.04 mg g-1, respectively, which was about three times higher than that of PBC. Macroscopically, physicochemical adsorption and intraparticle diffusion dominated the Cd adsorption, and surface properties, such as functional groups, were identified as key factors controlling adsorption. Microscopically, the adsorption of Cd mainly occurred in regions rich in π electrons, lone pair electrons and electron donor groups. The interaction between carboxyl and Cd dominated the adsorption performance of OPBC, while the Cd2+-π interaction was weakened by increasing the π electron electrostatic potential of aromatic rings. The lone pair electrons of the amino groups dominated the complexation of APBC with Cd, and the π electron electrostatic potential was almost unaffected.

Application of Response Surface Methodology and Desirability Function in the Optimization of Adsorptive Remediation of Arsenic from Acid Mine Drainage Using Magnetic Nanocomposite: Equilibrium Studies and Application to Real Samples. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24091792. [PMID: 31075844 PMCID: PMC6539454 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24091792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2019] [Revised: 05/02/2019] [Accepted: 05/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
A magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotube/zeolite nanocomposite was applied for the adsorption and removal of arsenic ions in simulated and real acid mine drainage samples. The adsorption mechanism was investigated using two-parameter (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin) and three-parameter (Redlich–Peterson, and Sips) isotherm models. This was done in order to determine the characteristic parameters of the adsorptive removal process. The results showed that the removal process was described by both mono- and multilayer adsorptions. Adsorption studies demonstrated that a multi-walled carbon nanotube/zeolite nanocomposite could efficiently remove arsenic in simulated samples within 35 min. Based on the Langmuir isotherm, the adsorption capacity for arsenic was found to be 28 mg g−1. The nanocomposite was easily separated from the sample solution using an external magnet and the regeneration was achieved by washing the adsorbent with 0.05 mol L−1 hydrochloric acid solution. Moreover, the nanoadsorbent was reusable for at least 10 cycles of adsorption-desorption with no significant decrease in the adsorption capacity. The nanoadsorbent was also used for the arsenic removal from acid mine drainage. Overall, the adsorbent displayed excellent reusability and stability; thus, they are promising nanoadsorbents for the removal of arsenic from acid mine drainage.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of surface modification on the properties of porous biochar was studied, and these modification techniques were synthetically evaluated by principal component analysis. The results showed that surface modification significantly affected the surface and adsorption properties of porous biochar. Potassium carbonate activated porous biochar (KBC) was modified by surface oxidation, surface amination, loading nano-zero valent iron (nZVI) and loading nano-iron oxyhydroxide (nHIO). The surface modification affected the pore structure, especially the micropores. Surface modification influenced the oxygen-containing functional groups, amino, and metal-O significantly. It also changed the diffusion of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on the biochar surface. The specific surface area was not the only factor determining the adsorption capacity. Surfaces rich in oxygen-containing functional groups would favor the adsorption of 2,4-D by biochar. The adsorption of biochars on 2,4-D were determined by π-π interaction, chemisorption and hydrogen bonding. The synthetic properties of modified biochar were evaluated by principal component analysis, and the comprehensive performance was in order of NKBC > OKBC > KBC > BC > nHIO@KBC > nZVI@KBC. Structural activation, surface amination and surface oxidation can improve the comprehensive properties of biochar.

Abstract
Uranium is a hazardous and radioactive element. Effective removal of uranium from wastewater stream requires advanced functional materials and reliable technologies. Red mud is a type of low-cost adsorbent which is widely used in the adsorption process. In the present work, we successfully modified the raw red mud to gain a series of highly efficient sorbents for uranium removal. They are nitric acid dealkalized red mud (DRM), aluminum nitrate modified red mud (ARM), and ferric nitrate modified red mud (FRM). The adsorption efficiencies of uranium(VI) by DRM, ARM, and FRM were 74.50, 95.56, and 98.75% in their optimal immobilization regions, respectively. The chemisorption of uranium dominates the adsorption process of FRM, while as to physical adsorption dominates the adsorption process of ARM and DRM. Both DRM and ARM reached their maximum adsorption capacities at 10 min while that for FRM occurred at 30 min. FRM performed much stronger anti-interference ability to the influence of carbonate and calcium. The outstanding adsorption ability of these modified red muds is mainly due to the enhancement of ion exchange, co-precipitation, and electrostatic attraction by red mud's active components and functional groups.
