[PMID: 35875175 PMCID: PMC9304469 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-022-03247-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Organic nature of dyes and their commercially made products are widely utilized in many industries including paper, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, photography, petroleum as well as in textile manufacturing. The textile industry being the top most consumer of a large variety of dyes during various unit processes operation generates substantial amount of wastewater; hence, nominated as "Major Polluter of Potable Water". The direct discharge of such effluents into environment poses serious threats to the functioning of biotic communities of natural ecosystems. The detection of these synthetic dyes is considered as relatively easy, however, it is extremely difficult to completely eliminate them from wastewater and freshwater ecosystems. Aromatic chemical structure seems to be the main reason behind low biodegradability of these dyes. Currently, various physiochemical and biological methods are employed for their remediation. Among them, microbial degradation has attracted greater attention due to its sustainability, high efficiency, cost effectiveness, and eco-friendly nature. The current review presents recent advances in biodegradation of industrial dyes towards a sustainable and tangible technological innovative solutions as an alternative to existing conventional physicochemical treatment processes.

[PMID: 33950424 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-14267-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Agricultural practices and industrial and human discharges play an important role in the generation of highly contaminated effluents, which becomes a threat to the environment. The persistence of many of these compounds to conventional treatments in recent years has meant that numerous efforts have been devoted to the proposal of new selective materials that allow the removal of these contaminants by adsorption. In addition, bibliometric studies have grown as powerful tools to indicate trends in innovation. In this way, the present study consisted of evaluating the potential interest to use activated carbon as adsorbent through a prospection study in scientific and technological databases. The number of records obtained for the use of activated carbon in effluent remediation processes is equivalent to 4898, which corresponds to approximately 2.5% of the total documents (articles/patents) found for the use of carbon with no defined purpose. A total of 2275 works that used the adsorptive property of activated carbon were recovered. According to the data recovered, Brazil is the leader in scientific publications among Latin American countries and the 12th worldwide, according to the SciELO and Scopus databases, respectively. In general, a significant number of patents have been recovered for this theme, in the Derwent database, 1167 documents were recovered. The results obtained in this work evidenced the growing interest in developing technologies in this area.

Abstract
Acid pretreated biomass Lemna minor (BM-H3PO4) was used as support for CuO nanoparticles loading, to investigate the dye biosorption capacity and the photocatalytic performance under artificial visible light. The surface morphology, crystal structure, elemental composition, and the bandgap of modified biomass have been determined using FE-SEM, XRD, EDX, XPS, FTIR, and UV-DR analysis. The results showed that NH2 and P-O functional groups of (BM-H3PO4) can attract the copper ions (Cu2+), which can facilitate the loading of CuO nanoparticles hence, smaller nanoparticles with an average diameter of 21 nm was obtained. It was also found that when the CuO was incorporated in BM-H3PO4 in a proper mass ratio of 0.4, the biosorption efficiency was enhanced to 3 times compared with BM-H3PO4 and reached a maximum of 91%, at a dye concentration of 20 mg/L, solution pH equal to 5, and an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Furthermore, CuO-modified BM-H3PO4 exhibits a better photocatalytic activity than pure CuO in the presence of H2O2 and visible light irradiation, where the dye was completely removed and mineralized after 240 min, evidenced by COD measurement. The photocatalytic regeneration also shows that the biosorption efficiency was maintained at 91% over 3 cycles, indicating the significant self-regenerative capacity of the biosorbent.

Abstract
Azo dyes are extensively used in different industries areas, such as Allura Red (R-40). Previous studies have proven its carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. For the removal of this type of emerging pollutant from effluents, tertiary treatment techniques such as activated charcoal are used. Alternatively, the use of bacteria is preferred because of its quick discoloration processes. The aim of the present investigation is to compare the efficiency removal of R-40 from aqueous media by a physicochemical process and a biological one. The sorption kinetics of 10 ppm of R-40 was carried out with the use of activated charcoal based on walnut shells in water. Moreover, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis stains were used separately to decolorize nutrient broth media supplemented with 50 ppm of R-40. The activated carbon was capable to remove 99.87% of R-40 at 264 h, while the bacterial strains decolorized 92.13% (P. aeruginosa) and 88.21% (B. subtilis), respectively, under microaerophilic conditions after 168 h. Therefore, both process strategies, physicochemical and biological rapprochements, were able to remove the dye from aqueous media. R-40 was not cytotoxic to used strains, besides gram-positive either negative bacteria could be applied to turn over this azo dye in short term. Combination of both approaches may be implemented in tandem architecture.

Acetylsalicylic acid biosorption onto fungal-bacterial biofilm supported on activated carbons: an investigation via batch and fixed-bed experiments. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:28962-28976. [PMID: 31388951 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-06075-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study reports on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) biosorption onto fungal-bacterial biofilm supported on two types of activated carbons (one commercial type made of coconut fibers, CAC, and one other manufactured from fruit rinds of Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart., HYAC, which after biofilm inoculation, they were named CAC-b and HYAC-b), via batch and fixed-bed experiments. These materials were characterized by BET Specific Surface Area and Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). Biosorption onto HYAC-b was 57.2% higher than HYAC. Despite presenting the highest biosorption capacity over time (qt = 85.4 ± 0.82 mg g-1), CAC-b had a lower increase in efficiency (32.4%) compared to CAC. Kinetic data from the biosorption experiments responded well to the pseudo-first-order model thus suggests the predominance of physisorption, while without biofilm presence, there was a better agreement with the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption. The possible interaction mechanism of ASA to biofilm was attributed to ionic forces between the drug in anionic form and eventual presence of cationic by-products of the biologically active surface metabolism. Biosorption equilibrium data responded better to the Sips model and CAC-b presented the highest biosorption capacity (qe = 292.4 ± 2.01 mg g-1). A combination of faster volumetric flow rates, higher inlet concentrations and shorter beds accelerated the breakthrough time of ASA biosorption in the fixed-bed experiments. These operational conditions affected C/Co ratio in the following magnitude order: volumetric flow rate < inlet concentration < bed height. Breakthrough data responded better to the modified dose-response model compared to Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models.

Abstract
The present paper describes the sono-assisted adsorption (sono-adsorption) of methylene blue (MB), methyl violet (MV), and Nile blue (NB) from aqueous solution by AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite. FT-IR, TGA-DTG, VSM, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, Map, and Raman analysis were used to characterize the magnetic composite. The magnetization saturation value of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite was determined to be 53.06 emu/g. Dye sono-adsorption efficiency was increased by increasing adsorbent dose, pH value, and contact time, but not dye concentration. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models were used to study the kinetic behavior of the cationic dye sono-adsorption. The sono-adsorption kinetics was reasonably followed by pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.998). The results showed that the Freundlich model (R2 > 0.976) was more able to describe the sono-adsorption equilibrium behavior than Langmuir, D-R, and Scatchard models. The maximum sono-adsorption capacity of NB, MV, and MB was determined as 86.24, 83.90, and 87.48 mg/g, respectively. Based on the parameters derived from isotherm modeling (RL, n, and E), the sono-adsorption process of cationic dyes is desirable and physical. An increase in NaCl concentration reduced the sono-adsorption efficiency for all dyes. Also, the adsorption-desorption of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic was studied up to 10 stages, and it was confirmed that the sono-adsorption efficiency is acceptable up to the eight stage. AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite is, therefore, an affordable and recyclable adsorbent to remove the molecule of NB, MV, and MB dyes from aqueous media.
