In-depth study of adsorption mechanisms and interactions in the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants via activated carbon: a physicochemical analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:39208-39216. [PMID: 38814558 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33806-9] [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: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
This study presents a theoretical analysis of the adsorption process of pharmaceutical pollutants, specifically acetaminophen (ATP) and diclofenac (DFC), onto activated carbon (AC) derived from avocado biomass waste. The adsorption isotherms of ATP and DFC were analyzed using a multilayer model, which revealed the formation of two to four adsorption layers depending on the temperature of the aqueous solution. The saturation adsorption capacities for ATP and DFC were 52.71 and 116.53 mg/g, respectively. A steric analysis suggested that the adsorption mechanisms of ATP and DFC involved a multi-molecular process. The calculated adsorption energies (ΔE1 and ΔE2) varied between 12.86 and 22.58 kJ/mol, with the highest values observed for DFC removal. Therefore, the adsorption of these organic molecules was associated with physisorption interactions: van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. These findings enhance the understanding of the depollution processes of pharmaceutical compounds using carbon-based adsorbents and highlight the potential of utilizing waste biomass for environmental remediation.

Comparative analysis of the equilibrium, kinetics, and characterization of the mechanism of rapid adsorption of Congo red on nano-biosorbents based on agricultural waste in industrial effluents. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 358:120863. [PMID: 38615396 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120863] [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: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to remove Congo red dye from industrial effluent using economical agriculturally-based nano-biosorbents like magnetic orange peel, peanut shells, and tea waste. The nano-biosorbents were characterized by various analytical techniques like SEM, FT-IR, BET and XRD. The highest adsorption capacity was obtained under the following ideal conditions: pH = 6 (orange peel and peanut shells), pH = 3 (tea waste), and dosages of nano-biosorbents with varying timeframes of 50 min for tea waste and peanut shells and 30 min for orange peel. The study found that tea waste had the highest removal rate of 94% due to its high porosity and responsible functional groups, followed by peanut shells at 83% and orange peel at 68%. The Langmuir isotherm model was found to be the most suitable, with R2 values of 0.99 for tea waste, 0.92 for orange peel, and 0.71 for peanut shells. On the other hand, a pseudo-second-order kinetic model was very feasible, showing an R2 value of 0.99 for tea waste, 0.98 for peanut shells and 0.97 for orange peel. The significance of the current study lies in its practical application, enabling efficient waste management and water purification, thereby preserving a clean and safe environment.

[PMID: 38623288 PMCID: PMC11017375 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra00940a] [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: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
A green method based on magnetic micro-solid phase extraction (MNP-TW-μ-SPE) of tea waste impregnated with magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-TW) was developed for the extraction of ibuprofen (IBP) in water samples prior to UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis. Experimenting parameters that affect the extraction efficiency of IBP, such as pH of the sample solution, sorbent dosage, extraction time, ionic strength, volume of the sample, type of desorption solvent, desorption time, and desorption volume, were studied and optimized in detail. The characterization studies for the MNP-TW were carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Under the optimum conditions, the linearity ranges from 30 to 700 μg L-1 for IBP, with determination coefficients (R2) of 0.9983. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 9.40 μg L-1 and 28.50 μg L-1, respectively. The method also demonstrated good precision in reproducibility (RSD ≤ 1.53%), repeatability (RSD ≤ 1.48%), and recovery (86-115%). This method represents the advantages of low solvent consumption, flexibility, and better sensitivity compared to other studies employing spectrophotometric analysis. The usage of tea waste in the extraction process presents many advantages, as it is biodegradable, versatile, and contributes to an intelligent and sustainable economic strategy projected toward a circular economy approach.

Abstract
Pyrolysis of residues enriched with carbon, such as in agroforestry or industrial activities, has been postulated as an emerging technology to promote the production of biofuels, contributing to the circular economy and minimizing waste. However, during the pyrolysis processes a solid fraction residue is generated. This work aims to study the viability of these chars to develop porous carbonaceous materials that can be used for environmental applications. Diverse chars discharged by an industrial pyrolysis factory have been activated with KOH. Concretely, the char residues came from the pyrolysis of olive stone, pine, and acacia splinters, spent residues fuel, and cellulose artificial casings. The changes in the textural, structural, and composition characteristics after the activation process were studied by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, elemental analysis, and XPS. A great porosity was developed, SBET within 776-1186 m2 g-1 and pore volume of 0.37-0.59 cm3 g-1 with 70-90% of micropores contribution. The activated chars were used for the adsorption of CO2, leading to CO2 maximum uptakes of 90-130 mg g-1. There was a good correlation between the CO2 uptake with microporosity and oxygenated surface groups of the activated chars. Moreover, their ability to adsorption of contaminants in aqueous solution was also evaluated. Concretely, there was studied the adsorption of aqueous heavy metals, i.e., Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, and organic pollutants of emerging concern such as caffeine, diclofenac, and acetaminophen.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in water is a serious environmental issue due to the toxicity of metals like lead. This study developed zeolite and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) incorporated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers via needleless electrospinning and examined their potential for lead ion adsorption from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approaches. The adsorbent displayed efficient lead removal of 84.75% under optimum conditions (adsorbent dose (2.21 g), adsorption time (207 min), temperature (48 °C), and initial concentration (62 ppm)). Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics governed by interparticle diffusion. Isotherm analysis indicated Langmuir monolayer adsorption with improved 5.90 mg g-1 capacity compared to pristine PAN nanofibers. Thermodynamic parameters suggested the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. This work demonstrates the promise of electrospun zeolite/MWCNT nanofibers as adsorbents for removing lead from wastewater.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is a severe threat to the health of ecosystems, and recycling plastics is recognized as a key control strategy. This study used the one-step pyrolysis assisted with KOH activation to recycle the widely used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic as activated carbon (PET-AC) which was subsequently applied to adsorb diclofenac (DCF), a frequently detected emerging contaminant in water, for the first time. It was found that both the pyrolysis temperature and the addition of KOH can effectively regulate the pore sizes and volumes of PET-AC. PET-AC obtained at 700 °C demonstrated a high adsorption capacity of DCF up to 179.42 mg g-1 at 45 °C. The adsorption kinetics was conducted with both static jar and dynamic column tests and analyzed with various models. Thermodynamic results demonstrated that the adsorption of DCF was spontaneous and endothermic. The material also presented an excellent potential to adsorb other pharmaceuticals and personal care products in water. XPS and FTIR analysis indicated that the adsorption might be mainly driven by the physical forces, especially π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. This study provided a reference for recycling waste plastic as an efficient adsorbent to eliminate organic contaminants from water.

Emerging Mesoporous Polyacrylamide/Gelatin-Iron Lanthanum Oxide Nanohybrids towards the Antibiotic Drugs Removal from the Wastewater. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2835.

Abstract
The polyacrylamide/gelatin-iron lanthanum oxide (P-G-ILO nanohybrid) was fabricated by the free radical grafting co-polymerization technique in the presence of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross linker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator. The P-G-ILO nanohybrid was characterized by the various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques that provided the information regarding the crystalline behavior, surface area, and pore size. The response surface methodology was utilized for the statistical observation of diclofenac (DF) adsorption from the wastewater. The adsorption capacity (qe, mg/g) of P-G-ILO nanohybrid was higher (254, 256, and 258 mg/g) than the ILO nanoparticle (239, 234, and 233 mg/g). The Freundlich isotherm model was the best fitted, as it gives the higher values of correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.982, 0.991 and 0.981) and lower value of standard error of estimate (SEE = 6.30, 4.42 and 6.52), which suggested the multilayered adsorption of DF over the designed P-G-ILO nanohybrid and followed the pseudo second order kinetic model (PSO kinetic model) adsorption. The thermodynamic study reveals that adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic in nature and randomness onto the P-G-ILO nanohybrids surface increases after the DF adsorption. The mechanism of adsorption of DF demonstrated that the adsorption was mainly due to the electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and dipole interaction. P-G-ILO nanohybrid was reusable for up to five adsorption/desorption cycles.

Abstract
Although wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) is an efficient community-wide surveillance tool, its implementation for pathogen surveillance remains limited by ineffective sample treatment procedures, as the complex composition of wastewater often interferes with biomarker recovery. Moreover, current sampling protocols based on grab samples are susceptible to fluctuant biomarker concentrations and may increase operative costs, often rendering such systems inaccessible to communities in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). As a response, passive samplers have emerged as a way to make wastewater sampling more efficient and obtain more reliable, consistent data. Therefore, this study aims to review recent developments in passive sampling technologies to provide researchers with the tools to develop novel passive sampling strategies. Although promising advances in the development of nanostructured passive samplers have been reported, optimization remains a significant area of opportunity for researchers in the area, as methods for flexible, robust adsorption and recovery of viral genetic materials would greatly improve the efficacy of WBS systems while making them more accessible for communities worldwide.

The Remediation of Dysprosium-Containing Effluents Using Cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis and Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2009. [PMID: 37630569 PMCID: PMC10458459 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11082009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Dysprosium is one of the most critical rare earth elements for industry and technology. A comparative study was carried out to assess the biosorption capacity of cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae toward dysprosium ions. The effect of experimental parameters such as pH, dysprosium concentration, time of contact, and temperature on the biosorption capacity was evaluated. Biomass before and after dysprosium biosorption was analyzed using neutron activation analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. For both biosorbents, the process was quick and pH-dependent. The maximum removal of dysprosium using Spirulina platensis (50%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (68%) was attained at pH 3.0 during a one-hour experiment. The adsorption data for both biosorbents fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model, whereas the kinetics of the process followed the pseudo-second-order and Elovich models. The maximum biosorption capacity of Spirulina platensis was 3.24 mg/g, and that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was 5.84 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters showed that dysprosium biosorption was a spontaneous process, exothermic for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and endothermic for Spirulina platensis. Biological sorbents can be considered an eco-friendly alternative to traditional technologies applied for dysprosium ion recovery from wastewater.

Ghosh S, Sahu M. Adsorptive removal of dimethyl phthalate using peanut shell-derived biochar from aqueous solutions: equilibrium, kinetics, and mechanistic studies. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:87599-87612. [PMID: 37428323 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-28598-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Rise in polymer industry and extensive use of their products leads to leaching of phthalate esters and distributed into the different matrices of the environment. This chemical group has the potential to hamper the life of living organisms and ecosystem. Thus, it is essential to develop cost-effective adsorbents capable of removing these harmful compounds from the environment. In this work, peanut hull-derived biochar was taken as the adsorbent, and DMP was selected as the model pollutant or adsorbates. The biochars of different properties were produced at three pyrolysis temperatures (i.e., 450, 550, and 650 °C) to check how temperature affected the adsorbent properties and adsorption performance. Consequently, the performance of biochars for DMP adsorption was thoroughly studied by the combination of experiments and compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC). All the adsorbents are meticulously characterized using various analytical techniques and used for adsorption DMP from aqueous solutions. The results suggested that adsorption was favoring chemisorption with multi-layered adsorption as adsorption kinetics and isotherm are in good alignment with pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm, respectively. Further, thermodynamic study revealed DMP adsorption on adsorbent is physically spontaneous and endothermic. The removal efficiency order of four adsorbent was as follows: BC650 > CAC > BC550 > BC450 with maximum efficiency of 98.8% for BC650 followed by 98.6% for CAC at optimum conditions. And as it is a short carbon chain PAE, dominant mechanisms of adsorption for DMP onto porous biochar were H-bonding, π-π EDA interactions, and diffusion within the pore spaces. Therefore, this study can provide strategies for the synthesis of biochar for effectively removing DMP from aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this study, mesoporous doped-carbons were synthesized from sucrose, a natural source, boric acid and cyanamide as precursors, generating B- or N-doped carbon. These materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, Raman, SEM, TEM, BET, and XPS, confirming the preparation of a tridimensional doped porous structure. B-MPC and N-MPC showed a high surface specific area above 1000 m2/g. The effect of B and N doping on mesoporous carbon was evaluated on the adsorption of emerging pollutants from water. Diclofenac sodium and paracetamol were used in adsorption assays, reaching removal capacities of 78 and 101 mg.g-1, respectively. Kinetic and isothermal studies indicate the chemical nature of adsorption controlled by external and intraparticle diffusion and multilayer formation due to strong adsorbent/adsorbate interactions. DFT-based calculations and adsorption assays infer that the main attractive forces are hydrogen bonds and Lewis acid-base interactions.

Abstract
The introduction of large amounts of pharmaceuticals into the environmental waters is well-documented in literature with their occurrence reported in all different water matrices accessible to humans and animals. At the same time, the increasing consumption of coffee and tea-based beverages results in the generation of solid waste, which is mostly disposed-off in the environment. To minimize environmental pollution, coffee and tea-based materials have been proposed as suitable options to remove pharmaceuticals in environmental waters. Therefore, this article provides a critical review on the preparation and applications of coffee and tea-based materials in removing pharmaceuticals from contaminated water. In this context, most studies in literature focused on the applications of these materials as adsorbents, while only limited work on their role in degradation of pharmaceuticals is discussed. The successful application in adsorption studies is attributed to high surface areas of adsorbents and the ability to easily modify the adsorbent surfaces by incorporating functional groups that provide additional oxygen atoms, which promote easy interactions with pharmaceuticals. Hence, the adsorption mechanisms are mostly described by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and π-π interactions with sample pH playing a dominant role in the adsorption process. Overall, the present article focused on the developments, trends and future research direction on the preparations and applications of coffee and tea-based materials for efficient removal of pharmaceuticals in water. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Review of tea and coffee wastes application for removal of pharmaceuticals in water Key applications in adsorption and degradation of pharmaceuticals in water Removal mostly explained by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and π-π interactions Trends, gaps, and future research to be explored are reviewed and highlighted.

Abstract
The importance of the textural and physicochemical characteristics upon the adsorption capacity of the commercial activated carbons (ACs) Coconut, Wood, Merck, Darco, and Norit towards ronidazole (RNZ) and diclofenac (DCF) from water solution was investigated thoroughly in this work. At pH = 7, Coconut AC and Wood AC presented the highest adsorption capacity towards RNZ (444 mg/g) and DCF (405 mg/g). The maximum mass of RNZ adsorbed onto Coconut AC was higher in this study than those outlined previously in other works. Besides, the maximum capacity of Wood AC for adsorbing DCF was comparable to those found for other ACs. The adsorption capacity of all the ACs was increased by surface area and was favored by incrementing the acidic site concentration. The π-π stacking interactions were the predominant adsorption mechanism for the RNZ and DCF adsorption on ACs, and the acidic sites favored the adsorption capacity by activating the π-π stacking. Electrostatic interactions did not influence the adsorption of RNZ on Coconut AC, but electrostatic repulsion decreased that of DCF on Wood AC. The adsorption of DCF on Wood AC was reversible but not that of RNZ on Coconut AC. Besides, the adsorption of RNZ and DCF on the Coconut and Wood ACs was endothermic in the range of 15-25 °C.

Abstract
Pollution due to various heavy metals is increasing at an alarming rate. Removal of hexavalent chromium from the environment is a significant and challenging issue due to its toxic effects on the ecosystem. Development of a low-cost adsorbent with better adsorption efficiency is presently required. In this study, waste coconut fibers (CF) were used to prepare its composite with polyaniline (PANI) via in-situ oxidation. The obtained composites with varying loading of PANI (15, 25, 50, and 75% w/w) were characterized by FE-SEM, TGA, and FTIR spectroscopy. The prepared composites were evaluated for their adsorption performance for removal of Cr(VI). It was concluded that the composite with 50% w/w polyaniline loading on coconut fiber exhibited a maximum adsorption efficiency of 93.11% in 30 min. The effect of pH, dosage, and concentration of the aqueous solution of chromium on the Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency of the composite was also studied. From the optimization studies it was observed that the absorbents exhibited the best adsorption response for Cr(VI) removal with 0.25 mg/mL adsorbent at pH 4, in 30 min. The effect of pH, dosage, and concentration of the aqueous solution of chromium on the Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency of the composite was also studied. This study highlights the application of low-cost adsorbent as a potential candidate for the removal of hexavalent chromium. A detailed study on the adsorption kinetics and isothermal analysis was conducted for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution using coconut fiber-polyaniline composite. From the kinetic investigation, the adsorption was found to follow the pseudo second order model. The data obtained were best fitted to the Elovich model confirming the chemisorption of the Cr(VI) on coconut polymer composites. The analysis of the isothermal models indicated monolayer adsorption based on the Langmuir adsorption model.

Abstract
The rising consumption of the popular non-alcoholic beverage tea and its derivative products caused massive growth in worldwide tea production in the last decade, leading to the generation of huge quantities of waste tea residues every year. Most of these wastes are usually burnt or disposed in landfills without proper treatment which results in serious environmental issues by polluting water, air and soil. In the recent times, 'waste to wealth' is a fast-growing concept for environment friendly sustainable development. Utilization of the large amount of tea wastes for the production of low-cost adsorbents to reduce the expenses of water and wastewater treatment can be a sustainable way of management of these wastes which at the same time will improve circular economy also. This review endeavours to evaluate the potential of both raw and modified tea wastes towards the adsorption of pollutants from wastewater. The production of various adsorptive materials such as biochar, activated carbon, nanocomposites, hydrogels, nanoparticles from tea wastes are summarized. The advancements in their applications for the removal of different emerging contaminants from wastewater as well as potable water, air and soil are exhaustively reviewed. The outcome of the present review reveals that tea waste and its derivatives are appropriate candidates to be used as adsorbents that show tremendous effectiveness in cleaning the environment. This article will provide the readers with an in-depth knowledge on the sustainable utilization of tea waste as adsorbent materials and will assist them to explore this abundant cheap waste biomass for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF) is a drug compound that exists widely in water bodies, which may pose a threat to the ecological environment. In this study, spent bleaching earth (SBE) was pyrolyzed, modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and loaded with zero-valent iron (nZVI) to obtain CTAB-SBE@C-nZVI. The effects of CTAB concentration, Fe0 loading, CTAB-SBE@C-nZVI dosage, and initial pH value on the removal efficiency of DCF were studied. The results showed that the DCF removal efficiency could reach a maximum of 87.0% with 2.0 g/L dosage of the optimal material, which was prepared under the conditions of 30 mmol/L CTAB concentration, 25% Fe0 loading, and initial pH 5. It indicated that the strong adsorption of the material and the reduction effect of nZVI can achieve high-efficiency removal of DCF. Based on the detected reaction intermediate products, four possible degradation paths were inferred. The toxicity assessment of DCF and its intermediates manifested that the degradation of DCF by CTAB-SBE@C-nZVI was a process of gradual dechlorination and toxicity reduction. CTAB-SBE@C-nZVI displayed excellent DCF removal efficiency, good stability and environmental friendliness, achieving wastes treat wastes and exhibiting good prospects.

Abstract
Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory drug and has been frequently detected from the wastewater. In the present study, factors affecting diclofenac adsorption on sewage sludge was evaluated. At 1 mg/L initial diclofenac concentration, more than 80% diclofenac removal was achieved. Adsorption increased at higher concentration (100 mg/L concentration) and more than 99% diclofenac was adsorbed from the wastewater. Significant removal of diclofenac was observed after 5 min contact time. The adsorption efficacy was more than 98% after 50 and 60 min. Pseudo-first and second order kinetics revealed reasonable regression value (0.9) indicated that the model is best fitted. Diclofenac adsorption was extremely high at acidic pHs than alkaline range. The sludge samples showed the presence of multi drug resistant bacteria. Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus stains were 27%, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus positive strains were 16.5% and Extended-spectrum betal-lactamase-harbouring Enterobacteriacea were 65.4% in the sludge. The drug resistance Enterobacteriaceae revealed 14 Klebsiella pneumonia strains, 11 strains from E. coli and two from the genus Enterobacter. To conclude, the activated sludge could be effectively utilized for the removal of diclofenac from wastewater.

Abstract
Activated carbons from argan nutshells were prepared by chemical activation using phosphoric acid H3PO4. This material was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectrometry, and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. The adsorption of two emerging compounds, a stimulant caffeine and an anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac, from distilled water through batch and dynamic tests was investigated. Batch mode experiments were conducted to assess the capacity of adsorption of caffeine and diclofenac from an aqueous solution using the carbon above. Adsorption tests showed that the equilibrium time is 60 and 90 min for diclofenac and caffeine, respectively. The adsorption of diclofenac and caffeine on activated carbon from argan nutshells is described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The highest adsorption capacity determined by the mathematical model of Langmuir is about 126 mg/g for diclofenac and 210 mg/g for caffeine. The thermodynamic parameters attached to the studied absorbent/adsorbate system indicate that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic for diclofenac and endothermic for caffeine.

Abstract
Recently, hydrothermal carbonization emerges as the most viable option for the management of solid waste with high moisture content. Sludge derived hydrochar is used as an adsorbent for emerging contaminants or micro-pollutants in the domain of sustainability. Current study demonstrates the KOH activation of hydrochar produced from paper board mill sludge and evaluates its removal potential of a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Diclofenac from aqueous solution. The activated hydrochars exhibited porous, spherical micro-structures with higher fraction of oxygenated functional groups paving way for the efficient adsorption of Diclofenac. The effect of initial Diclofenac concentration and contact time was ascertained using adsorption kinetics and isotherms. The adsorption kinetics exhibited second-order reaction for all adsorbents indicating higher coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.9). The Diclofenac adsorption on hydrochars followed Langmuir isotherm model with the post-activated hydrochar recording a highest adsorption capacity of 37.23 mg g−1 in 40 mg L−1 initial Diclofenac concentration at 15 h equilibrium time.

Abstract
A new generation of a green polymeric matrix, chitosan/alginate-polyethyleniminemethylene phosphonic acid (CHIT/ALG-PEIMPA) was examined in comparative study of adsorption and preconcentration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diclofenac and ibuprofen. The influences of experimental parameters like pH, time reaction, initial concentration, ionic strength were investigated. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed heterogeneous morphology with different particle sizes of agglomerates from few micrometers to a hundred micrometers and irregular particles shape, before pharmaceuticals products adsorption. However, after adsorption, SEM micrograph reveals a smooth surface structure of agglomerate, and even in this smaller magnification, it was possible to observe the formation of homogenous and regular surface of CHIT/ALG-PEIMPA. Elementary analysis (EDX) reveals that the phosphonic acid (PEIMPA) was successfully cross-linked onto chitosan/alginate. The maximal adsorption capacity was found to be 222 mg.g-1, and 122 mg.g-1 under optimum conditions for diclofenac and ibuprofen respectively. The kinetic modeling followed the pseudo-second-order rate expression for both pharmaceutical drugs. Thermodynamics data leads to an exothermic and spontaneous adsorption processes (∆H = -34.32 KJ mol-1; ∆H =-21.59 KJ mol-1), respectively for diclofenac and ibuprofen.

A Comprehensive Insight on Adsorption of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Pharmaceuticals, and Chemical Dyes in Wastewaters Using Biowaste Carbonaceous Adsorbents. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2022.

Abstract
Recent trends in adsorption of hazardous organic pollutants including Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Pharmaceuticals, and Chemical Dyes in wastewater using carbonaceous materials such as activated carbon (AC) and biochar (BC) have been discussed in this paper. Utilization of biomass waste in the preparation of AC and BC has gained a lot of attention recently. This review outlines the techniques used for preparation, modification, characterization, and application of the above-mentioned materials in batch studies. The approaches towards understanding the adsorption mechanisms have also been discussed. It is observed that in the majority of the studies, high removal efficiencies were reported using biowaste adsorbents. Regarding the full potential of adsorption, varying values were obtained that are strongly influenced by the adsorbent preparation technique and adsorption method. In addition, most of the studies were concentrated on the kinetic, isotherm equilibrium, and thermodynamic aspects of adsorption, suggesting the dominant isotherm and kinetic models as Langmuir or Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models. Due to development in biosorbents, adsorption has been found to be increasingly economical. However, application of these adsorbents at commercial scale has not been adequately investigated and needs to be studied. Most of the studies have been conducted on synthetic solutions that do not completely represent the discharged effluents. This also needs attention in future studies.

Abstract
Introduction Biochar utilization for adsorption seems to be the most cost-effective, easy/fast approach for pollutants removal from water and wastewater. Due to the high adsorption properties, magnetic biochar proved to be efficient in the sorption of heavy metals and nutrients. Although there are several studies on development of magnetic biochars, there is a lack of research on development of high-performance magnetic biochar from food waste for removal applications. Objectives This study aimed at preparing new classes of magnetic biochar derived from tea waste (TBC) for removal of heavy metals (Ni2+, Co2+), and nutrients (NH4+ and PO43−) from water and effective fertilizer (source of NH4+ and PO43−). Methods Standard carbonization process and ultrafast microwave have been used for fabrication of TBCs. The removal of nickel, cobalt as the representatives of heavy metals, and over-enriched nutrients (NH4+ and PO43−) from water were tested and the removal kinetics, mechanism, and the effect of pH, dissolved organic matter and ionic strength were studied. Simultaneously, possible fertilizing effect of TBC for controlled release of nutrients (NH4+ and PO43−) in soil was investigated. Results Up to 147.84 mg g−1 of Ni2+ and 160.00 mg g−1 of Co2+ were adsorbed onto tested biochars. The process of co-adsorption was also efficient (at least 131.68 mg g−1 of Co2+ and 160.00 mg g−1 of Ni2+). The highest adsorbed amount of NH4+ was 49.43 mg g−1, and the highest amount of PO43− was 112.61 mg g−1. The increase of the solution ionic strength and the presence of natural organic matter affected both the amount of adsorbed Ni2++Co2+ and the reaction mechanism. Conclusions The results revealed that magnetic nanoparticle impregnated onto tea biochar, can be a very promising alternative for wastewater treatment especially considering removal of heavy metals and nutrients and slow-release fertilizer to improve the composition of soil elements.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are highly consumed around the world and consequently found as emerging pollutants in water; they are found in concentrations up to µg L−1 making their removal a priority. In this matter, adsorption is an efficient alternative for drug removal, so using activated carbon (AC) as an adsorbent is a highly explored subject. The current interest is to obtain AC from waste, for example, those of agro-industrial origin, reducing this way the overall costs of the process. Although information regarding the use of AC from agro-industrial origin in the removal of NSAIDs is limited, an exclusive compilation is required to understand the state of the art to date. This work aims to update information related to the adsorption of ibuprofen, diclofenac, and naproxen on agro-industrial AC, and it is focused on the period 2016–2021. It highlights the characteristics of agro-industrial AC responsible for efficient adsorption. Recent adsorption studies, including kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics, are analyzed and compared. Progress on removing NSAIDs from real wastewater is also presented and finally proposed adsorption mechanisms and costs related to these removal processes.

Abstract
In the present study, sewage sludge (SS) was used to synthesize activated carbon (AC) which was further utilized as adsorbent for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CPX) from synthetic wastewater. The adsorbent was prepared by chemical activation method using ZnCl2 as activating agent. Design of experiments (DOE) approach was explored to determine the optimum operating conditions for the synthesis of AC and CPX removal from the wastewater. The optimum conditions for AC synthesis (i.e., carbonization temperature = ~500°C, activation time = 30 min, and impregnation ratio = 2.26) were decided based on results for three response parameters, that is, adsorbent yield, methylene blue removal, and iodine number. The synthesized adsorbent showed ~93% CPX removal (initial CPX concentration = 100 mg/L) at the following optimum conditions: adsorbent dose = 1.31 g/L, pH = 7 and reaction time = 12 h. Langmuir isotherm model was best fit to the equilibrium adsorption data (maximum adsorption capacity of SS derived AC = 102 mg/g) whereas pseudo-second order model showed the best fit to adsorption kinetic data (adsorption capacity = 77.5 mg/g). An effort was also made to reduce fresh water requirement for adsorbent synthesis by recycling the wastewater produced during chemical activation of SS. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Experiment design approach was used for optimization of adsorbent preparation conditions and CPX removal conditions by waste derived adsorbent. Sewage sludge derived adsorbent had BET surface area of 564 m2 /g which is comparable to commercial activated carbon. 93% CPX adsorption with the sewage sludge derived adsorbent at optimum conditions. Langmuir model better suited the CPX adsorption data. Wastewater recycling and ZnO recovery from wastewater produced during adsorbent synthesis were performed.

Abstract
Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory drug used as an analgesic. It is often detected in various environmental sources around the world and is considered as one of the emerging contaminants (ECs). This paper reviews the distribution of diclofenac at high concentrations in diverse environments and its adverse ecological impact. Recent studies observed strong evidence of the hazardous effect of diclofenac on mammals, including humans. Diclofenac could cause gastrointestinal complications, neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hematotoxicity, genotoxicity, teratogenicity, bone fractures, and skin allergy in mammals even at a low concentration. Collectively, this comprehensive review relates the mode of toxicity, level of exposure, and route of administration as a unique approach for addressing the destructive consequence of diclofenac in mammalian systems. Finally, the mitigation strategy to eradicate the diclofenac toxicity through green remediation is critically discussed. This review will undoubtedly shed light on the toxic effects of pseudo-persistent diclofenac on mammals as well as frame stringent guidelines against its common usage.

Contemporary Techniques for Remediating Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds in Various Water Sources: Advances in Treatment Methods and Their Limitations. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13193229. [PMID: 34641045 PMCID: PMC8512899 DOI: 10.3390/polym13193229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Over the years, the persistent occurrence of superfluous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) (sub µg L−1) in water has led to serious health disorders in human and aquatic lives, as well as undermined the water quality. At present, there are no generally accepted regulatory discharge limits for the EDCs to avert their possible negative impacts. Moreover, the conventional treatment processes have reportedly failed to remove the persistent EDC pollutants, and this has led researchers to develop alternative treatment methods. Comprehensive information on the recent advances in the existing novel treatment processes and their peculiar limitations is still lacking. In this regard, the various treatment methods for the removal of EDCs are critically studied and reported in this paper. Initially, the occurrences of the EDCs and their attributed effects on humans, aquatic life, and wildlife are systematically reviewed, as well as the applied treatments. The most noticeable advances in the treatment methods include adsorption, catalytic degradation, ozonation, membrane separation, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP), as well as hybrid processes. The recent advances in the treatment technologies available for the elimination of EDCs from various water resources alongside with their associated drawbacks are discussed critically. Besides, the application of hybrid adsorption–membrane treatment using several novel nano-precursors is carefully reviewed. The operating factors influencing the EDCs’ remediations via adsorption is also briefly examined. Interestingly, research findings have indicated that some of the contemporary techniques could achieve more than 99% EDCs removal.

Abstract
The worldwide development of agriculture and industry has resulted in contamination of water bodies by pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other xenobiotics. Even at trace levels of few micrograms per liter in waters, these contaminants induce public health and environmental issues, thus calling for efficient removal methods such as adsorption. Recent adsorption techniques for wastewater treatment involve metal oxide compounds, e.g. Fe2O3, ZnO, Al2O3 and ZnO-MgO, and carbon-based materials such as graphene oxide, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and carbon/graphene quantum dots. Here, the small size of metal oxides and the presence various functional groups has allowed higher adsorption efficiencies. Moreover, carbon-based adsorbents exhibit unique properties such as high surface area, high porosity, easy functionalization, low price, and high surface reactivity. Here we review the cytotoxic effects of pharmaceutical drugs and pesticides in terms of human risk and ecotoxicology. We also present remediation techniques involving adsorption on metal oxides and carbon-based materials.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride modified by molybdenum trioxide (g-C3N4/MoO3) as a nanohybrid was synthesized by co-precipitation method. Here, g-C3N4/MoO3 nanohybrid was used for the first time as an adsorbent for the pharmaceutical drug, diclofenac, (an aqueous micropollutant) from water to mitigate its possible environmental toxic effects. Compared to pristine components, the nanohybrid exhibited better adsorptive removal of diclofenac. Adsorption was enhanced with increment in MoO3 content from 1 to 3 wt %; however further increment in MoO3 content resulted in lower adsorption capacity due to agglomeration of MoO3 particles over g-C3N4. 162 mg g−1 adsorption capacity was achieved for 300 mg L−1 diclofenac in solution with 1 g L−1 adsorbent at pH = 6. Adsorption of diclofenac over g-C3N4 /MoO3 followed pseudo 2nd order kinetics. Temkin, Langmuir, Dubinin Radushkevich and Freundlich isotherm models were applied on the experimental results concluding that diclofenac adsorption over g-C3N4/MoO3 followed the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption mechanism could be explained by the π–π interaction between aromatic rings of diclofenac and g-C3N4/MoO3 (3%) nanohybrid, which is also evident by the FTIR results. This study presents the facile fabrication of a 2nd generation adsorbent for the treatment of diclofenac contaminated water that may as well help achieve the removal of other micropollutants form water.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF), naproxen (NPX) and ibuprofen (IBF) are three of the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) worldwide. They are widely detected in natural waters due to their persistence in wastewater treatment, and their removal is desirable in future wastewater management worldwide. In this study, "acid catalyst" functionalisation and subsequent carbonisation were adopted to synthesise a P-doped microporous carbonous adsorbent (CScPA) for NSAID removal. The CScPA was evaluated in depth for its adsorption performance (i.e., isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption at lab-scale). The CScPA had a large surface area (791.1 m2/g) and good porosity (0.392 cm3/g), which facilitated a high maximum adsorption capacity of 62.02 mg/g for a NSAID mixture. Thermodynamic data indicated that the adsorption of these NSAIDs was an endothermic process determined by physisorption (low-energy interactions). XPS analysis revealed the specific interactions involved in the adsorption process, including π-π and n-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interactions and hydrogen (H-) bonding. The Freundlich isotherm and Elovich kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental results, which indicated surface heterogeneity (of the CScPA) and cooperative adsorption mechanisms. The adsorption process was shown to have potential to be applied to real wastewater effluent containing NSAIDs at low environmentally relevant concentrations (removal reached > 90% at 10 μg/L). Analysis of different implementation and cost related factors suggested that the CScPA has the potential for use with "real-world" water matrices, offering a sustainable treatment process for pharmaceutical remediation in wastewater.

Abstract
Porous biochar containing graphitic carbon materials have received great attention from various disciplines, especially for environmental pollutant treatment, due to their cost-effective and specific textural properties. This study exhibited a two-step strategy to compose lignin-porous biochar containing graphitic carbon (LPGC) from pitch pine sawdust and investigated its adsorptive removal for diclofenac sodium (DCF) from an aqueous solution. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was utilized to obtain lignin content from biomass and potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) and was adopted to fulfill the synchronous carbonization and graphitization of LPGC. Through slow pyrolysis in atmospheric N2 (900°C - 2 h), the structure of the as-prepared sample was successfully modified. Using SEM images, a stripped layer structure was observed on the H2SO4-treated sample for both one-step and two-step activated samples, indicating the pronounced effect of H2SO4 in the layering of materials. K2FeO4 acted as an activator and catalyst to convert biomass into the porous graphitic structure. The BET surface area, XRD and Raman spectra analyses demonstrated that LPGC possessed a micro/mesoporous structure with a relatively large surface area (457.4 m2 g-1) as well as the presence of a graphitic structure. Further adsorption experiments revealed that LPGC exhibited a high DCF adsorption capacity (qmax = 159.7 mg g-1 at 298 K, pH = 6.5). The effects of ambient conditions such as contact time, solution pH, temperature, ionic strength, electrolyte background on the uptake of DCF were investigated by a batch adsorption experiment. Results indicated that the experimental data were best fitted with the pseudo second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, the adsorption of DCF onto the LPGC process was spontaneous and endothermic. Electrostatic interaction, H-bonding interaction, and π-π interaction are the possible adsorption mechanisms. The porous biochar containing graphitic carbon obtained from the lignin content of pitch pine sawdust may be a potential material for eliminating organic pollutants from water bodies.

Abstract
Caffeine and diclofenac are molecules with high human intake, and both belong to the ‘emergent’ class of contaminants. These compounds have been found at different concentrations in many sources of water worldwide and have several negative impacts on aquatic life systems; that is why the search for new alternatives for their removal from aqueous media is of transcendental importance. In this sense, adsorption processes are an option to attack this problem and for this reason, biochar could be a good alternative. In this regard, were prepared six different biochar from fique bagasse (FB), a useless agroindustry by-product from fique processing. The six biochar preparations were characterized through several physicochemical procedures, while for the adsorption processes, pH, adsorption time and concentration of caffeine and diclofenac were evaluated. Results showed that the biochar obtained by pyrolysis at 850 °C and residence time of 3 h, labeled as FB850-3, was the material with the highest adsorbent capacity with values of 40.2 mg g−1 and 5.40 mg g−1 for caffeine and diclofenac, respectively. It was also shown that the experimental data from FB850-3 fitted very well the Redlich–Peterson isotherm model and followed a pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic for caffeine and diclofenac, respectively.

Abstract
This work aims to utilize fly ash from a thermal power station for melanoidin reduction from distillery effluent by adsorption. To accomplish this, coal fly ash was modified through chemical treatment and was then tested for melanoidin adsorption as a function of various melanoidin concentrations, contact time, and pH. The specific novelty of this study is the evaluation of coal fly ash as a low-cost adsorbent for melanoidin removal. Furthermore, the simulation study was carried out using Aspen ADSIM software in order to optimize the commercial usage of the prepared adsorbent. The main results achieved include the maximum removal efficiency of 84% which was reached at initial melanoidin concentration of 1100 mg L-1 (5% dilution), pH 6, and a contact time of 120 min. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to evaluate adsorption isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of 281.34 mg/g was observed using the Langmuir isotherm. Furthermore, pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion models were used to fit adsorption kinetic data. The pseudo-second-order was best describing the adsorption kinetic with a faster kinetic rate of 0.142 mg g-1 min-1. CFA (coal fly ash) after acidic activation resulted in a slightly higher surface area, average pore volume, and pore size. The maximum breakthrough time and adsorbent saturation time were achieved at initial melanoidin concentration of 1 mol/lit, bed height of 2.5 m, and flow rate of 50 lit/min.

Abstract
This study presents the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution using a new silver nanoparticles-loaded tea activated carbon (AgNPs-TAC) material. In order to reduce costs, the tea activated carbon was produced from tea residue. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of impregnation ratio of AgNPs and TAC, pH solution, contact time, initial phosphate concentration and dose of AgNPs-AC on removing phosphate from aqueous solution. Results show that the best conditions for phosphate adsorption occurred at the impregnation ratio AgNPs/TAC of 3% w/w, pH 3, and contact time lasting 150 min. The maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate on AgNPs-TAC determined by the Langmuir model was 13.62 mg/g at an initial phosphate concentration of 30 mg/L. The adsorption isotherm of phosphate on AgNPs-TAC fits well with both the Langmuir and Sips models. The adsorption kinetics data were also described well by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models with high correlation coefficients of 0.978 and 0.966, respectively. The adsorption process was controlled by chemisorption through complexes and ligand exchange mechanisms. This study suggests that AgNPs-TAC is a promising, low cost adsorbent for phosphate removal from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Porous graphitic biochar was synthesized by one-step treatment biomass using potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) as activator for both carbonization and graphitization processes. The modified biochar (Fe@BC) was applied for the removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF) in an aqueous solution. The as-prepared material possesses a well-developed micro/mesoporous and graphitic structure, which can strengthen its adsorption capacity towards DCF. The experimental results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of Fe@BC for DCF obtained from Langmuir isotherm simulation was 123.45 mg·L−1 and it was a remarkable value of DCF adsorption in comparison with that of other biomass-based adsorbents previously reported. Thermodynamic quality and effect of ionic strength studies demonstrated that the adsorption was a endothermic process, and higher environmental temperatures may be more favorable for the uptake of DCF onto Fe@BC surface; however, the presence of NaCl in the solution slightly obstructed DCF adsorption. Adsorption capacity was found to be decreased with the increase of solution pH. Additionally, the possible mechanism of the DCF adsorption process on Fe@BC may involve chemical adsorption with the presence of H-bonding and π–π interaction. With high adsorption capacity and reusability, Fe@BC was found to be a promising absorbent for DCF removal from water as well as for water purification applications.

Abstract
AbstractThe disposal of residues while manufacturing Chinese medicine has always been an issue that concerns pharmaceutical factories. Phanerochaete chrysosporium was inoculated into the residues of Magnolia officinalis for solid-phase fermentation to enzymatically hydrolyze the lignin in the residues and thus to improve the efficiency of removal of the copper ions from residues for the utilization of residues from Chinese medicine. With the increase in activities of lignin-degrading enzymes, especially during the fermentation days 6 to 9, the removal rate of copper ions using M. officinalis residues increased dramatically. The rate of removal reached the maximum on the 14th day and was 3.15 times higher than the initial value. The rate of adsorption of copper ions on the fermentation-modified M. officinalis residues followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption isotherms were consistent with the Freundlich models. The adsorption enthalpy was positive, indicating that it was endothermic and elevation in temperature was favorable to this adsorption process. The adsorption free energy was negative, implying the spontaneity of the process. The copper ions adsorbed could be effectively recovered using 0.2 M hydrochloric acid solution. After five successive cycles of adsorption-regeneration, the fermentation-modified M. officinalis residues exhibited a stable adsorption capacity and greater reusability. The M. officinalis residues fermented with P. chrysosporium are low-cost and environmentally friendly copper ions adsorbent, and this preparation technique realizes the optimum utilization of Chinese medicine residues.

Abstract
This paper describes the physicochemical study of the adsorption of dysprosium (Dy3+) in aqueous solution onto two types of activated carbons synthesized from spent coffee ground. Potassium hydroxide (KOH)-activated carbon is a microporous material with a specific Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 2330 m2·g−1 and pores with a diameter of 3.2 nm. Carbon activated with water vapor and N2 is a solid mesoporous, with pores of 5.7 nm in diameter and a specific surface of 982 m2·g−1. A significant dependence of the adsorption capacity on the solution pH was found, but it does not significantly depend on the dysprosium concentration nor on the temperature. A maximum adsorption capacity of 31.26 mg·g−1 and 33.52 mg·g−1 for the chemically and physically activated carbons, respectively, were found. In both cases, the results obtained from adsorption isotherms and kinetic study were better a fit to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. In addition, thermodynamic results indicate that dysprosium adsorption onto both activated carbons is an exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable process.

Abstract
In this work, a series of porous carbon materials (PCs) were obtained at different carbonization temperatures (800, 900, 1000, and 1100 °C) by a simple and fast solvent-free method. Moreover, the feasibility of PCs as reliable and efficient adsorbents to capture diclofenac sodium (DCF) from the water was evaluated. Notably, porous carbon (PC) prepared at 1000 °C (PC-1000) was found to be the best candidate for the adsorption of DCF. Remarkably, adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 3 h, which followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a high correlation coefficient (R 2 > 0.994). Furthermore, experimental data obtained from adsorption isotherm indicated that the capture of DCF onto PC-1000 followed the Langmuir adsorption model (R 2 > 0.997), wherein its maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 392 mg/g. In addition, based on the results obtained from the zeta potential of PC-1000 under different pH and the adsorbed quantity of DCF along with functional groups created on the surface of PC-1000, electrostatic and H-bonding interactions were proposed as the possible adsorption mechanisms. Due to its high stability and excellent reusability, PC-1000 has been testified as a promising candidate for removing DCF from contaminated water.

Abstract
By a simple and convenient method of using epichlorohydrin as linkages, a novel Alternanthera philoxeroides (AP) derivative modified with diethylenetriamine (DAP) was synthesized, which can remove copper(II) ions (Cu(II)) in the water environment efficiently. The adsorption capacity of DAP for Cu(II) under various factors was measured using ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The adsorption capacity and removal ratio were 19.33 mg/g and 95.57% at pH 5.5 and 298 K. The kinetic and equilibrium study shows that pseudo-second-order kinetic (R2 = 0.9964) and Langmuir isotherm models (R2 > 0.982) could properly describe DAP adsorption behaviors, and thermodynamic parameters indicate a spontaneous endothermic process (ΔG = - 3.6636 kJ/mol). The combined results of SEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS analyses reveal that the dominant contribution for enhancement in Cu(II) adsorption is made by the formation of an amino group. And the adsorption mechanism is mainly the complexation reaction. The adsorption efficiency of DAP remained above 72.06% after 6 cycles of adsorption-desorption, which indicated that DAP has good regenerability and stability. All the results suggest that DAP could serve as promising adsorbents for Cu(II) pollution minimization.
