[PMID: 38769235 DOI: 10.1007/s10661-024-12712-0] [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: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Olive leaves were utilized to produce activated biomass for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. The raw biomass (ROLB) was activated with sodium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, and Dead Sea water to create co-precipitated adsorbent (COLB) with improved adsorption performance. The characteristics of the ROLB and COLB were examined using SEM images, BET surface area analyzer, and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. COLB has a BET surface area of 7.763 m2/g, markedly higher than ROLB's 2.8 m2/g, indicating a substantial increase in adsorption sites. Through investigations on operational parameters, the optimal adsorption efficiency was achieved by COLB is 77.9% within 60 min, obtained at pH 6, and CIP concentration of 2 mg/mL. Isotherm studies indicated that both Langmuir and Freundlich models fit the adsorption data well for CIP onto ROLB and COLB, with R2 values exceeding 0.95, suggesting effective monolayer and heterogeneous surface adsorption. The Langmuir model revealed maximum adsorption capacities of 636 mg/g for ROLB and 1243 mg/g for COLB, highlighting COLB's superior adsorption capability attributed to its enhanced surface characteristics post-modification. Kinetic data fitting the pseudo-second-order model with R2 of 0.99 for ROLB and 1 for COLB, along with a higher calculated qe for COLB, suggest its modified surface provides more effective binding sites for CIP, enhancing adsorption capacity. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous (∆Go < 0), and exothermic (∆Ho < 0), and exhibits a decrease in randomness (∆So < 0) as the process progresses. The ΔH° value of 10.6 kJ/mol for ROLB signifies physisorption, whereas 35.97 kJ/mol for COLB implies that CIP adsorption on COLB occurs through a mixed physicochemical process.

Abstract
The bio-adsorption of heavy metals (including Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) in aqueous solution and also in an industry wastewater using the ZnO-modified date pits (MDP) as the bio-adsorbent are investigated. The fresh and used bio-adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, BET, and XRD. The bio-adsorption parameters (including the pH of solution, the particle size of MDP, the shaking speed, the initial concentration of heavy metals, the dosing of MDP, the adsorption time, and the adsorption temperature) were screened and the data were used to optimize the bio-adsorption process and to study the bio-adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Two adsorption models (Langmuir isotherm model and Freundlich isotherm model) and three kinetic models (pseudo-first-order model, pseudo-second-order model, and intra-particle diffusion model) were applied to model the experimental data. Results show that the maximum adsorption amount of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ on a complete monolayer of MDP are 82.4, 71.9, and 66.3 mg g-1, which are over 4 times of those of date pits-based bio-adsorbents reported in literature. The bio-adsorption of heavy metals on MDP is spontaneous and exothermic, and is regulated by chemical adsorption on the homogeneous and heterogeneous adsorption sites of MDP surface. This work demonstrates an effective modification protocol for improved bio-adsorption performance of the date pits-based bio-adsorbent, which is cheap and originally from a waste.

Abstract
Contamination of water by ciprofloxacin has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects and growing evidence of antimicrobial-resistant gene evolution. To this end, a chemically modified bamboo biochar was prepared from bamboo sawdust to effectively remove ciprofloxacin (CIP) from an aqueous solution. Under similar adsorption conditions, the modified bamboo biochar (MBC) has an excellent CIP removal efficiency (96%) compared to unmodified bamboo biochar (UBC) efficiency (45%). Thus, MBC was used in batch adsorption experiments, and the process was optimized with the central composite design (CCD) framework of response surface methodology (RSM). Sorption process parameters such as initial CIP concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time were studied and found to have a significant effect on CIP removal. The optimal CIP removal (96%) was obtained at MBC dose (0.5 g L-1), CIP initial concentration (20 mg L-1), pH (7.5), and contact time (46 min). The adsorption kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model (
), and both Langmuir (
) and Freundlich (
) models gave the best fit in CIP adsorption isotherm analysis. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the MBC was 78.43 mg g-1 based on the Langmuir isotherm model. These results suggest that CIP adsorption was mainly controlled by chemisorption. Moreover, the CIP adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Overall, MBC is a low-cost, efficient, and recyclable adsorbent for eliminating emerging contaminants such as ciprofloxacin from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Application of alternating current in electrocoagulation and activation of persulfate (AEC-PS) for the effective removal of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solution was evaluated. In order to optimize the removal efficiency HA by the AEC-PS process, several influencing parameters such as pH, reaction time, PS dose, current density (CD), concentration of NaCl, initial concentration of HA, and coexisting cations and anions influence were investigated. From the batch experiments, the highest HA removal efficiency obtained was 99.4 ± 0.5% at pH of 5, reaction time of 25 min, CD of 4.5 mA/cm2, PS dose of 200 mg/L, and NaCl concentration of 0.75 g/L for an initial HA concentration of 30 mg/L. When CD increased from 1.25 to 4.5 mA/cm2, the HA removal efficiency was improved from 88.8 ± 4.4% to 96.1 ± 1.5%. In addition, the type of coexisting cations and anions exerted a significant role, leading to a reduction in the removal efficiency of HA. To investigate the dominant free activated radical, radical scavengers such as tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol were employed. It was observed that both OH and SO4- radicals substantially contributed to the removal of HA, and the contribution of SO4- radical was higher than that of OH radical, suggesting that AEC-PS process could serve as a novel and effective treatment technique for the removal of organic matters from aqueous sources.

Abstract
The agricultural waste of orange peels (OPs) was utilized as a cheap biosorbent and then tested for its ability to treat the reactive red (RR) dye wastewater. Several experiments were done to get the equilibrium isotherm and kinetic-relevant data. In addition, several experimental factors such as solution pH, temperature, contact time, and initial RR dye concentration were studied, in light of their impact on the biosorption process. The utilized isotherm and kinetic models were evaluated by using the chi-square test and coefficient of determination parameters for their representation of real data. In addition, the obtained data of their biosorption capacities, at different conditions, were modeled by the artificial neural network (ANN) approach. The results of the isotherm study revealed that the experimental data can be best accounted by both the Langmuir and Temkin models, demonstrating that the RR molecules were sorbed to two or more different types of biosorption sites of OP. The kinetic study for determining the characteristics of the rate of diffusion demonstrated that the intraparticle diffusion process was not the sole rate-limiting step in the biosorption of the RR dye-OP couple. Furthermore, the biosorption process was chemisorption in nature, as the pseudo-second-order reaction proved to be the best representative model for the kinetic data. The outcome of modeling also assumed that using the ANN tool was useful to reproduce the data again and foretell the manner in which biosorption behaved. According to the results of the Langmuir model, it was found that the maximum OP uptake for the biosorption of the RR dye was up to 82 mg/g, observed at optimized values of the experimental parameters. Such prior results highlight that OP is an effective agent of biosorption in the elimination of RR dyes from polluted solutions, moreover, in a cost-effective manner.

Abstract
Penicillin G (PG) is one of the most widely used antibiotics around the world. The release of PG in an aqueous solution leads to contamination of water resources. This study aimed to determine the efficiency of modified Eskanbil activated carbon for the removal of PG from aqueous solutions. The NH4Cl-induced activated carbon was synthesized by a simple method and used for the degradation of PG in contaminated water. Activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The four main reaction parameters optimized in this study were pH, time, the concentration of the EAC (Eskanbil Activated Carbon), and initial PG concentration. The synthesized carbon was characterized and the results showed it as a mesoporous material with the BET specific surface area of 1473 m2/g and pore volume of 0.81 cm3/g. The maximum PG adsorption onto EAC was observed at the pH of 6. The PG removal of 33% at an EAC concentration of 0.1 g/L increased to 99.98% at an activated carbon concentration of 0.5 g/L. The isotherm and kinetic studies of PG removal by EAC showed that the Freundlich model (R2 > 0.995) and the pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.983) equation represented the best fit with the adsorption data. EAC is recommended as a suitable and cost-efficient adsorbent for removing poisons, pharmaceuticals, and other emerging contaminants from water resources.

Abstract
In this paper, the adsorption of humic acid (HA) on natural maifan stone (MS) in aqueous medium was investigated. The changes in MS after adsorption have been characterized explicitly. The adsorption behavior was studied by varying the factors of pH (5-10), reaction time (10-180 min), initial HA concentration (5-50 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.1-1.2 g), and temperature (25-45 °C). The kinetics of the adsorption process of HA was fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 = 0.99). The isothermal results revealed that the adsorption process is favorable, and highly fitting Langmuir models (R 2 > 0.99) were used. Additionally, the obtained maximum adsorption capacity of MS for HA was approximately 1 mg/g. The adsorption process of HA onto MS was endothermic according to the thermodynamic study. The changes in the excitation-emission-matrix of HA and the X-ray diffraction of MS after adsorption indicate the interaction of HA and MS. However, the reason for these changes is still unclear. Thus, the results show that the natural MS exhibited a certain adsorption capacity for HA. It is promising to develop novel natural MS-based materials for adsorption of HA.

Abstract
The presence of natural organic matter such as humic acid in water creates various problems in water purification. Humic acid can react with chlorine in the disinfection step and lead to the production of trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids that these compounds have carcinogenic and mutagenic properties; therefore, they must be removed before arriving to the disinfection stage. The purpose of this research was adsorption of humic acid from simulated wastewater by synthesized FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 magnetic nanocomposites. FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized by sol-gel procedure and its characteristics were determined by TEM, VSM, BET, FESEM, and XRD techniques. Then, the effects of such pH (3-11), FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 dosage (0.005-0.1 g/L), contact time (0-200 min), and initial concentration (2-15 mg/L) were studied on humic acid adsorption using FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2. The results of adsorption experiments revealed that the highest percentage of humic acid removal (94.4%) was achieved at pH 3, initial concentration of 5 ppm, FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 dose of 0.1 g/L, and contact time of 90 min. The analyses of experimental isotherm data showed that the humic acid adsorption was described by Langmuir model and also the kinetic studies represented that the process of adsorption of humic acid on FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 was followed by the pseudo-second kinetic. According to the results, it can be concluded that FeNi3/SiO2/TiO2 magnetic nanocomposites have a high ability to absorb humic acid from simulated wastewater.
