Adsorption and desorption processes of toxic heavy metals, regeneration and reusability of spent adsorbents: Economic and environmental sustainability approach. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 329:103196. [PMID: 38781828 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103196] [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: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
A growing number of variables, including rising population, water scarcity, growth in the economy, and the existence of harmful heavy metals in the water supply, are contributing to the increased demand for wastewater treatment on a global scale. One of the innovative water treatment technologies is the adsorptive removal of heavy metals through the application of natural and engineered adsorbents. However, adsorption currently has setbacks that prevent its wider application for heavy metals sequestration from aquatic environments using various adsorbents, including difficulty in selecting suitable desorption eluent to recover adsorbed heavy metals and regeneration techniques to recycle the spent adsorbents for further use and safe disposal. Therefore, the recovery of adsorbed heavy metal ions and the ability to reuse the spent adsorbents is one of the economic and environmental sustainability approaches. This study presents a state-of-the-art critical review of different desorption agents that could be used to retrieve heavy metals and regenerate the spent adsorbents for further adsorption-desorption processes. Additionally, an attempt was made to discuss and summarize some of the independent factors influencing heavy metals desorption, recovery, and adsorbent regeneration. Furthermore, isotherm and kinetic modeling have been summarized to provide insights into the adsorption-desorption mechanisms of heavy metals. Finally, the review provided future perspectives to provide room for researchers and industry players who are interested in heavy metals desorption, recovery, and spent adsorbents recycling to reduce the high cost of adsorbents reproduction, minimize secondary waste generation, and thereby provide substantial economic and environmental benefits.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:11284-11310. [PMID: 38595713 PMCID: PMC11002728 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra00976b] [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: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Owing to the high cost of recycling waste, underdeveloped countries discharge industrial, agricultural, and anthropogenic effluents without pretreatment. As a result, pollutant-loaded waste enters water bodies. Among the diverse toxic contaminants, heavy metal ions are the most detrimental because of their chronic toxicity, non-degradability, prevalence, and bioaccumulation. The growing shortage of water resources demands the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater. Three SDGs of the sustainability agenda of the United Nations appeal for clean water to protect life beneath water and on land depending on the water sources. Therefore, efficient environmentally friendly approaches for wastewater treatment are urgently required. In this regard, several methods have been developed for the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater, including adsorption as the most widely used method owing to its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable nature. The present review discusses the progress in the preparation and application of various adsorbents based on carbon, micro-organisms, agricultural waste and inorganic materials for the extraction of toxic metal ions such as Pb2+, Cr6+, As3+, As5+, Hg2+ and Cd2+. Herein, we provide information on the role of the homogeneity and heterogeneity of adsorbents, kinetics of the adsorption of an adsorbate on the surface of an adsorbent, insights into adsorption reaction pathways, the mechanism of the sorption process, and the uptake of solutes from solution. The present review will be useful for researchers working on environmental protection and clean environment.

Microbiological and physicochemical quality enhancement of treated wastewater using raw and chemically modified clays from Sidi Bouzid region, Tunisia. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 239:117391. [PMID: 37852463 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117391] [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: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
Environmental discharge of wastewater represents a source of chemical and biological pollutants. This study firstly evaluates the microbiological and physicochemical quality of treated wastewaters collected from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in two different Tunisian cities namely Sidi Bouzid (SB) and Gafsa (G). Then, the capacity of three raw and acid/base-activated local clays to enhance the quality of wastewaters was assessed. The results indicate that the quantities of enteric bacteria (oscillating from 1.381 × 103 to 1.4 × 108 CFU/100 mL), fungi (between 1.331 × 103 and 1.781 × 104 CFU/100 mL), as well as SARS-CoV-2 (between 4.25 × 103 and 5.05 × 105 CFU/100 mL) and Hepatitis A virus RNA (form 4.25 × 103 to 7.4 × 104 CFU/100 mL) detected in effluent wastewaters were not in compliance with the Tunisian standards for both studied WWTPs. Likewise for other indicators such as electrical conductivity (ranging 4.9-5.4 mS/cm), suspended matter (145-160 g l-1), chemical oxygen demand (123-160 mg l-1), biological oxygen demand 5 (172-195 mg l-1), chloride, Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and phosphorus contents (710, 58-66 and 9.47-10.83 mg l-1 respectively), the registered values do not agree with the set standards established for wastewater treatment. On the other hand, the pH values fitted (oscillating from 6.86 (at G) to 7.24 (at SB) with the Tunisian standards for both WWTPs. After treatment, wastewaters showed better values for the microbiological parameters, especially for the clays designed as AM and HJ1, which eliminated 100% of viruses. In addition, when acid-activated AM clays were applied, a marked improvement in the quality of physicochemical parameters was obtained, especially for suspended matter (2 and 4 g l-1 for SB and G, respectively), TKN (5.2 (SB) and 6.40 (G) mg/l), phosphorus (1.01 (SB) and 0.81 (G) mg/l). Our results open perspectives for the possibility of efficiently using these specific clays in the enhancement of the quality of treated wastewaters.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) pollution in water poses a significant threat to the ecological environment and human health. Meanwhile, the resource utilisation of coal gangue is of utmost importance in ecologically sustainable development. Thus, the FeOOH@coal gangue composite (FeOOH@CG) was synthesised for As(V) adsorption in this study. The results showed that α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH and Schwertmannite loaded on the surface of FeOOH@CG. Moreover, the adsorption behaviour of As(V) by FeOOH@CG was investigated under different reaction conditions, such as pH, contact time, initial concentration and co-existing anions. The optimum adsorption conditions were as follows: initial As(V) concentration of 60 mg/L, pH of 3.0 and adsorption time of 180-240 h. The adsorption capacity of FeOOH@CG for As(V) was pH-dependent and the maximum adsorption capacity was 185.94 mg/g. The presence of anions (H 2 PO 4 - , HCO 3 - and C l - ) decreased the adsorption efficiency of FeOOH@CG for As(V). The adsorption process of FeOOH@CG for As(V) could be well-described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption process mainly depended on chemical adsorption. The thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. In addition, according to the analyses of XRD, FTIR and XPS, the dominant mechanisms of As(V) adsorption by FeOOH@CG were electrostatic attraction, complexation and precipitation. In conclusion, FeOOH@CG has great potential as an efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent for As(V) adsorption from aqueous solution.

Abstract
With illegal discharge of wastewater containing inorganic and organic pollutants, combined pollution is common and needs urgent attention. Understanding the migration and transformation laws of pollutants in the environment has important guiding significance for environmental remediation. Due to the characteristics of adsorption, oxidation, and catalysis, manganese minerals play important role in the environment fate of pollutants. This review summarizes the forms of interaction between manganese minerals and metals, the environmental importance of the interaction between manganese minerals and metals, and the contribution of this interaction in improving performance of Mn-based composite for environmental remediation. The literatures have indicated that the interactions between manganese minerals and metals involve in surface adsorption, lattice replacement, and formation of association minerals. The interaction between manganese minerals and metals plays an important role in environmental behavior of element and environmental significance of manganese minerals. The synergistic or antagonistic effect resulted from the interaction influence the purification of heavy metal and organism pollutant. The synergistic effect benefited from the coordination of adsorption and oxidation, convenient electron transfer, abundant oxygen vacancies, and fast migration of lattice oxygen. Based on the synergy, Mn-based composites have been widely used for environmental remediation. The synthesize methods of Mn-based composites mainly include homogeneous coprecipitation, chemical etching route, hydrothermal, homogeneous chelating sol-gel, and ethylene glycol reduction strategy. This review is helpful to fully understand the migration and transformation process of pollutants in the environment, expand the resource utilization of manganese minerals for environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this study, co-precipitation synthesis of natural clay (NC) with Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) is carried out to elaborate the super NC@Co3O4 nanocomposites with admirable salinity confrontation, environmental stability and reusability, to eliminate heavy metal pollution such as toxic Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The advantages of using the NC@Co3O4 adsorbent are easy synthesis and biocompatibility. In addition, NC@Co3O4 can keep an excellent adsorption capacity by taking into account various environmental parameters such as the pH solution, NC@Co3O4 dose, adsorption process time and the initial heavy metals concentration. Furthermore, FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM-EDS, TEM and AFM analyses were performed to confirm NC@Co3O4 nanocomposites synthesis and characterisation. The adsorption efficiencies of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions by NC@Co3O4 nanocomposites were demonstrated to be up to 86.89% and 82.06% respectively. Regarding the adsorption from water onto the NC@Co3O4 nanocomposites, kinetics data were well fitted with PSO kinetic model, whereas a good agreement was found between the equilibrium adsorption and theoretical Langmuir isotherm model leading to maximum adsorption capacities of 55.24 and 52.91 mg/g, for Pb(II) and Cd(II) respectively. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations confirmed the spontaneous of this adsorption based on the negative values of Eads. The MC simulations were performed to highlight the interactions occurring between heavy metal ions and the surface of NC@Co3O4 nanocomposites, these were well correlated with the experimental results. Overall the study showed that NC@Co3O4 nanoadsorbents have strongly versatile applications and are well designed for pollutant removal from wastewater due to their unique adsorptive properties.

Abstract
Removal of arsenic from drinking water is one of the most important global concerns. Among the various techniques, adsorptive removal of arsenic is considered as a viable most effective method. However, limited attention is given to understand the overall relative sorption capacity of different sorbents (e.g., biocomposite, biochar and nano-composite etc.) since various factors influence the sorption capacity. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of various adsorbents with quantitative estimation (Langmuir adsorption maxima, Qmax) as well as to evaluate the influence of experimental conditions on the achievement of maximum adsorption. A number of analyses including meta-analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), scientometric and regression were performed. The results revealed that among the sorbents, nanoparticles show the greatest sorption capacity while pre-doped biochar performed the best among different biochars. Average across all sorbents, As (V) removal efficacy was higher than As (III). As expected, a high point of zero charge (PZC) and higher positive surface charge favored adsorption. The relative contribution of different mechanisms was also discussed. Our scientometric analyses revealed that, research should focus on the development of low-cost adsorbents and increase their reusability, safe disposal of adsorbed arsenic. Altogether, our findings provide a molecular understanding of arsenic sorption to different sorbents with implications for tailoring a good sorbent for arsenic removal from drinking water.

Abstract
Copper and cadmium ions are among the top 120 hazardous chemicals listed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) that can bind to organic and inorganic chemicals. Silica is one of the most abundant oxides that can limit the transport of these chemicals into water resources. Limited work has focused on assessing the applicability of nanosilica for the removal of multicomponent metal ions and studying their interaction on the surface of this adsorbent. Therefore, this study focuses on utilizing a nanosilica for the adsorption of Cd2+ and Cu2+ from water. Experimental work on the single- and multi-component adsorption of these ions was conducted and supported with theoretical interpretations. The nanosilica was characterized by its surface area, morphology, crystallinity, and functional groups. The BET surface area was 307.64 m2/g with a total pore volume of 4.95×10−3 cm3/g. The SEM showed an irregular amorphous shape with slits and cavities. Several Si–O–Si and hydroxyl groups were noticed on the surface of the silica. The single isotherm experiment showed that Cd2+ has a higher uptake (72.13 mg/g) than Cu2+ (29.28 mg/g). The multicomponent adsorption equilibrium shows an affinity for Cd2+ on the surface. This affinity decreases with increasing Cu2+ equilibrium concentration due to the higher isosteric heat from the interaction between Cd and the surface. The experimental data were modeled using isotherms for the single adsorption, with the Freundlich and the non-modified competitive Langmuir models showing the best fit. The molecular dynamics simulations support the experimental data where Cd2+ shows a multilayer surface coverage. This study provides insight into utilizing nanosilica for removing heavy metals from water.

Abstract
The removal of various highly toxic heavy metals from wastewater environment is an important task to improve environment. The biosorption potential of cadmium, cobalt and zinc was evaluated using Ulva flexuosa biomass. The impacts of adsorbent dosage, pH of the medium, contact time, and agitation speed were analyzed. The maximum biosorption potential was reached at pH 4.0, 0.4 g initial biosorbent dosage, contact time 40 min and 30 mg/L initial metal concentration for cadmium, while the other factors were similar to zinc, except 35 min contact time (p < 0.01). The optimum absorption was pH 4, 0.6% adsorbent dosage, after 30 min contact time with the heavy metals and 40 mg/L cobalt concentration. Heavy metal removal efficiency was 94.8 ± 3.3%, 87.5 ± 2.3%, and 90.8 ± 1.4%, for cadmium, cobalt, and zinc, respectively (p < 0.01). The Langmuir constant (R2) was 0.980 for cadmium, 0.838 for cobalt and it was 0.718 for zinc. The present results revealed that the selected acid modified biomass was highly suitable for the adsorption of metal ions such as, Cd2+, Co2+ and Zn2+. The present work revealed the potential application of algal biomass for the removal of various heavy metals from the environment.

Abstract
Magnetic core-shell TiO2@CoFe3O4 (TCM) composite photocatalytic particles with a core-shell structure were synthesized by the co-precipitation method as a novel catalyst for methylene blue (MB) dye degradation and adsorption efficiency of heavy-metal ion Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Various analytical techniques have verified the formation of the TCM core-shell through TEM, XRD, FT-IR, Raman, PL, and UV analysis. The presence of TiO2 and cobalt magnetite in the TCM core shell is confirmed by XRD analysis. The formation of a homogenous CoFe3O4shell on TiO2 spheres is confirmed by HR-TEM investigation. TiO2 nanoparticle has a rutile structure with an average crystallite size of about 57.44 and a TCM core-shell of about 64.62 nm. From UV and PL studies, it was found that the core shell absorbs the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which improves the effective separation between photo carriers. This study focused on several factors that influence metal ion adsorption, including initial concentrations, adsorbent dose, pH, and contact time. The TCM nanocomposite successfully separated the heavy metal ion Pb(II) from aqueous solutions, and the model predictions exactly matched the experimental results. For TCM material, the maximum adsorption efficiency for Pb(II) was 33.09 mg/g. The photocatalytic performance of TiO2 and TCM is about 12% and 91% after 60 min for MB dye degradation. It was found that TiO2@CoFe3O4 core-shell nanoparticles perform better as photo catalysts than pure TiO2 and CoFe3O4due to their high efficiency and reusability. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that heavy metal adsorption from aqueous solutions could be reused over seven cycles with no adsorption capacity modification.

Abstract
Occurrence of arsenic in the groundwater has become a cause for concern in many countries. The presence of As(III) species in the groundwater had been one of the biggest challenges for the water workers especially in the southeast Asian countries. Nano based adsorption techniques are gaining attention among researchers for the removal of arsenic ions. However, synthesis of nano-adsorbents is a costly affair. Therefore, the present study utilized the cheap and readily available laterite soil as a base material for nano coating. Nano sized manganese (nMn) particles were synthesized by chemical reduction method and later coated on calcined laterite (Lt-nMn). Coating with 0.1 M nMn provided the best As(III) removal efficiency. The prepared material was characterised for its morphological and surface properties. Phase analysis using XRD (X-ray diffraction) showed the presence of zero valent manganese species, which assisted in adsorption. Adsorption studies were conceded by selecting the different affecting parameters such as contact time, concentration, dose, temperature, and pH. Very high removal in less time regime led to the investigation of the oxidation mechanism. Phosphate and sulphate anions insignificantly reduced the removal efficiency. Langmuir model for the sorption isotherms and pseudo-second order kinetic model for the sorption kinetics symbolized the experimental data. Sustainability studies in terms of eco-scaling and cost analysis were performed for the applied method of production of the nano materials. Adsorber design analysis was also conducted to estimate the required amount of Lt-nMn particles for achieving the desired equilibrium As(III) concentration.

Abstract
The existence of hazardous heavy metals in aquatic settings causes health risks to humans, prompting researchers to devise effective methods for removing these pollutants from drinking water and wastewater. To obtain optimum removal efficiencies and sorption capacities of the contaminants on the sorbent materials, it is normally necessary to optimize the purification technology to attain the optimum value of the independent process variables. This review discusses the most current advancements in using various adsorbents for heavy metal remediation, as well as the modeling and optimization of the adsorption process independent factors by response surface methodology. The remarkable efficiency of the response surface methodology for the extraction of the various heavy metal ions from aqueous systems by various types of adsorbents is confirmed in this critical review. For the first time, this review also identifies several gaps in the optimization of adsorption process factors that need to be addressed. The comprehensive analysis and conclusions in this review should also be useful to industry players, engineers, environmentalists, scientists, and other motivated researchers interested in the use of the various adsorbents and optimization methods or tools in environmental pollution cleanup.

Abstract
A potential biochar from pepper stems (PS-biochar) was developed via a one-stage pyrolysis process of precursor at 700 °C and employed to adsorb ibuprofen (IBP) in water media. Results showed that PS-biochar was a carbonaceous mesoporous adsorbent with well-developed porosity (SBET = 727.5 m2/g and VTotal = 0.36 cm3/g) and rich surface functional groups. Mechanism of IBP adsorption consisted mainly of π- π interaction, pore filling, and H-bonding. The Langmuir monolayer capacity (569.6 mg/g) was very high compared to values reported in similar studies. The successful PS-biochar regeneration after four cycles in the batch system confirmed the high performance of the NaOH (0.1 M) as a desorbing agent. Therefore, the prepared biochar can be considered as a cost-effective and high-performance material for water decontamination.

Abstract
Expanding the utilization strategy of waste concrete powder (WCP) is conducive to minimizing the environmental burden caused by construction & demolition wastes (C&DW). In this study, WCP prepared in the laboratory was thermally treated and used to remove As(V) from wastewater. Batch adsorption tests were implemented to explore the influence factors such as modification temperature (0-850 °C), pH (1.00-12.00), dosage (2-50 g/L), co-coexisting ions (SO42-, NO3-, Cl- and PO43-) and temperature (25-45 °C). Various methods including spectroscopic tests, Rietveld refinement and sequential extraction process were employed to examine the mechanisms and their contribution to As(V) removal. Results show that the As(V) removal capacity of WCP was slightly enhanced after treatment at 200 °C, the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir model could describe the adsorption process well. The maximum uptake capacity for As(V) calculated by Langmuir model at 25, 35 and 45 °C were 31.89, 25.56 and 17.42 mg/g respectively, and the removal rate reached a maximum of 95.37% (C0 = 100 mg/L). Thermodynamically, the As(V) elimination was exothermic and spontaneous. The ettringite produced by rehydration of WCP proved to be essential for As(V) removal. Electrostatic attraction, precipitation, complexation and ion exchange were identified to be the main mechanisms of As(V) adsorption. This study confirmed the potential of WCP in removing As(V) from wastewater and provided a new insight into the removal mechanisms.

Abstract
More rigorous environmental rules on hazardous metals release require the implementation of diverse methods to remove them from contaminated streams. The adsorption process is the most attractive method for removal of toxic metal ions from different aqueous solutions. In the present study, batch and fixed bed column experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of permethylated β-cyclodextrin impregnated resin for the removal of As(V) ions from aqueous solutions. Sorption of As(V) ions was performed in groups under a variety of pH and metal concentrations. It was noted that removal efficiency was the highest (98%) at pH 6.0, and at an initial As(V) concentration equal to 0.1 mg/L. Sorption model use for experimental data indicates that the removal mechanism of As(V) by the permethylated β-cyclodextrin impregnated resin was the physical sorption. The adsorption capacity of the cyclodextrin ligand immobilized onto Amberlite XAD-4 resin was 19 mg/g. In addition, the impregnated resin was regenerable, thus was able to be used over and over.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a dangerous contaminant in drinking water which displays cogent health risks to humans. Effective clean-up approaches must be developed. However, the knowledge of adsorption-desorption behavior of As on modified biochars is limited. In this study, the adsorption-desorption behavior of arsenate (AsV) by single iron (Fe) and binary zirconium-iron (Zr-Fe)-modified biosolid biochars (BSBC) was investigated. For this purpose, BSBC was modified using Fe-chips (FeBSBC), Fe-salt (FeCl3BSBC), and Zr-Fe-salt (Zr-FeCl3BSBC) to determine the adsorption-desorption behavior of AsV using a range of techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed the partial reduction of pentavalent AsV to the more toxic trivalent AsIII form by FeCl3BSBC and Zr-FeCl3BSBC, which was not observed with FeBSBC. The Langmuir maximum AsV adsorption capacities were achieved as 27.4, 29.77, and 67.28 mg/g when treated with FeBSBC (at pH 5), FeCl3BSBC (at pH 5), and Zr-FeCl3BSBC (at pH 6), respectively, using 2 g/L biochar density and 22 ± 0.5 °C. Co-existing anions reduced the AsV removal efficiency in the order PO4 3- > CO3 2- > SO4 2- > Cl- > NO3 -, although no significant inhibitory effects were observed with cations like Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+. The positive correlation of AsV adsorption capacity with temperature demonstrated that the endothermic process and the negative value of Gibbs free energy increased (-14.95 to -12.47 kJ/mol) with increasing temperature (277 to 313 K), indicating spontaneous reactions. Desorption and regeneration showed that recycled Fe-chips, Fe-salt, and Zr-Fe-salt-coated biochars can be utilized for the effective removal of AsV up to six-repeated cycles.

Abstract
Hierarchical micro/nanostructured composites, which contain iron and/or its (hydr)oxides, demonstrate high rate and capacity of arsenic adsorption. The main objective of this paper is the use of novel low toxicity AlOOH/AlFe hierarchical micro/nanostructures for arsenic removal. AlOOH/AlFe composite was obtained by simple water oxidation in mild conditions using AlFe bimetallic nanopowder as a precursor. AlFe bimetallic nanopowder was produced by electrical explosive of two twisted wires in argon atmosphere. The productivity of the electrical explosion assembly was 50 g/h, with the consumption of the electrical energy was 75 kW·h/kg. AlFe bimetallic nanoparticles were chemically active and interacted with water at 60 °C. This nanocomposite AlOOH/AlFe is low cost and adsorbs more than 200 mg/g As(V) from its aqueous solution. AlOOH/AlFe composite has flower-like morphology and specific surface area 247.1 m2/g. The phase composition of nanostructures is present AlOOH boehmite and AlFe intermetallic compound. AlOOH/AlFe composite was not previously used for this. The flower-shape AlOOH morphology not only facilitated deliverability, but increased the As(V) sorption capacity by up to 200 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics has been found to be described by a pseudo-second-order equation of Lagergren and Weber-Morris models while the experimental adsorption isotherm is closest to the Freundlich model. This indicates the energy heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface and multilayer adsorption. The use of non-toxic nanostructures opens up new options to treat water affected by arsenic pollution.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Magnetic nanoparticles owing to their superparamagnetic behaviour and specific reactive sites are facilitated to regenerate and reuse. Our present study determines the cointegration of the plant extracts of Cynodon dactylon and Muraya koenigii with the magnetic nanoparticle coated with silica layer and surface engineered with a specific amine group. The cointegrated magnetic nano adsorbent is characterized for its analytical feature and batch studies are performed to remove zinc (Zn2+) copper (Cu2+) metal ions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of functional entities such as NH2, Si-O-Si, C=C. The size of the cointegrated nano adsorbent (12-30 nm) was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy whereas, a high-resolution transmission electron microscope affirms the nanosize of the particle constituted around 20 nm. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis confirms the presence of elements like Fe, N, Si and was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and vibrating sample magnetometer affirms the superparamagnetic nature with the high magnetic saturation value (Ms - 30 emug-1). The cointegrated nano adsorbent reveals the maximum adsorption capacity of Zn2+ as 78.24 mg.g-1 and Cu2+ as 81.76 mg.g-1 of the adsorbent under the optimized conditions of contact time 45 min, pH 6.0 and temperature 35 °C. Kinetics such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion and isotherm studies like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Temkin were performed to understand the mechanism of interaction between the nanoadsorbent and metal ions. The reaction system follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model for both the Cu2+ and Zn2+ metal ions. To determine the reusing capacity of the cointegrated nanoadsorbent, the adsorption efficiency was studied for continuous twelve cycles with 80% recovery after subsequent acid treatment.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a heavy metal that causes widespread contamination and toxicity in the soil environment. This article reviewed the levels of As contamination in soils worldwide, and evaluated how soil properties (pH, clay mineral, organic matter, texture) and environmental conditions (ionic strength, anions, bacteria) affected the adsorption of As species on soils. The application of the adsorption isotherm models for estimating the adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) on soils was assessed. The results indicated that As concentrations in contaminated soil varying significantly from 1 mg/kg to 116,000 mg/kg, with the highest concentrations being reported in Mexico with mining being the dominating source. Regarding the controlling factors of As adsorption, soil pH, clay mineral and texture had demonstrated the most significant impacts. Both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models can be well fitted with As(III) and As(V) adsorption on soils. The Langmuir adsorption capacity varied in the range of 22-42400 mg/kg for As(V), which is greater than 45-8901 mg/kg for As(III). The research findings have enhanced our knowledge of As contamination in soil and its underlying controls, which are critical for the effective management and remediation of As-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Wastewater is always composed of different pollutants, most of which are toxic to the living being. It is very tough to separate all those diverse groups of contaminants using a single process or single material. Rather a sustainable and environment friendly processes should be adapted to restrict the secondary pollution generation. Nanoclay and its nanocomposites are one of the most used adsorbents that have been modified and used for the separation of almost all types of pollutants, including dyes, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrate, ammonia, emerging pollutants and bacteria. They are relatively inexpensive, easy to exploit and relatively maintenance-free. Thus, recent research bloomed for developing suitable adsorbents, including clay nanocomposites. The advantages and drawbacks of all the clay nanocomposites-based processes have been discussed critically in this article. Nano-clays or other nanoparticles incorporated synthetic and natural polymers-based clay nanocomposites were synthesized, and it was found that they can remove dyes in the range between 48 mg/g and 1994 mg/g. Similarly, they separate a diverse group of heavy metal ions, including As, Cu, Co, Pd, Zn, Cr, Ni, Cd, and Hg, in the range of 0.073-1667 mg/g. The clay nanocomposites also showed fluoride removal efficacy in the range of 0.134-23 mg/g. They are also useful for the separation of emerging pollutants like pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, trace elements, and particulate matters in the range of 0.1-651 mg/g the clay nanocomposites showed considerable nitrate, ammonia and bacteria removal efficacy too. Though it seems promising, more investigations with real wastewater and pilot-scale studies are recommended to explore large-scale wastewater treatment capabilities.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder was produced from chicken (femur and beak) and fishbone wastes and used as a green adsorbent to decrease Cd2+ from aqueous media. The HAp powder was generated at 900 °C and characterized using physicochemical techniques. Chicken femur' HAp (16.72 m2/g) had a higher surface compared to chicken beak and fishbone ones. The solution pH was the most important parameter in removing Cd2+. The highest Cd2+ removal was achieved at pH 6, temperature of 25 °C, contact time of 80 min, and adsorbent mass of 2 g/L. The Cd2+ adsorption data fitted well with the quasi-second-order model in kinetics and the Freundlich model in isotherm. The highest adsorption capacity of Cd2+ using HAp-chicken femur, HAp-fish bone, and HAp-chicken beak was determined 22.94 mg/g, 21.54 mg/g, and 21.45 mg/g, respectively. The Cd2+ adsorption using HAp powder was a spontaneous and exothermic process and accidental collisions at the liquid-solid interface were reduced. The decrease of Cd2+ adsorption efficiency was not significant after multiple recovery steps of the desired powders. In addition to Cd2+, other parameters of real wastewater (shipbuilding industry) were reduced by the proposed adsorbents. The utilization of hydroxyapatite powder is expected to be a cheap and eco-friendly method for eliminating metals such as Cd2+.

Abstract
Minimization and stabilization of arsenic-containing smelting wastewater and residue is of crucial issue to resolve the arsenic contamination. Calcium arsenate is a typical precipitate produced from disposal of smelting acid wastewater. However, it suffers from poor stability and large quantity in the aqueous environment. Copper slags, as for rich-iron species materials, are disposed of in landfills or open-air tailing ponds, which are another waste material that have not been effectively utilized for reuse application. In this study, strategy for sequence of phase-controlled and thermal-doped copper slag technique was used as the efficient means of minimization and stabilization of arsenic-bearing resides. Detailed results were showed that stepwise phase precipitation significantly reduced the formation of hazardous solid waste; the total solid waste was reduced 47.0 wt% because the gypsum was separated from arsenic calcium residues through two-step methods. Subsequently, solid waste stabilization was achieved by using thermal-doped slag, and the high yield of magnetite (75.6 wt%) and fayalite (22.7 wt%) was produced from copper slags. It was proved that these iron-rich species displayed the remarkable performance to stabilize arsenic due to the formation of Fe-As-Ca-O complex; compared with the raw solid waste, the arsenic leachability was decreased from 280.75 to 1.05 mg/L via copper slag stabilization process. The immobilized arsenic content was 25.0 wt%. Overall, the proposed strategy for stepwise phase-controlled and thermal-doped copper slags was a potentially effective strategy for reducing emissions and pollution of arsenic-containing wastewater and residue.

Abstract
Adsorption of arsenic onto iron-based adsorption media has been established as a convenient method for the removal of arsenic from contaminated water. The study describes the efficiency of iron oxide coated hollow poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres (FHM) as an adsorptive media for the removal of arsenic from water. Hollow poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres (HPMM) were synthesized by solvent evaporation and an electroless plating technique and the surface of the polymer was coated with iron oxide (FeO) particles. Structural characterization was performed using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDAX), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). A study on the effect of the varying initial concentration of arsenic ions on percentage removal was performed in the laboratory and the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was measured. Adsorption isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the adsorption efficiency of FHM in removing arsenic from contaminated water. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to analyze the equilibrium experimental data. The isotherm study revealed that Langmuir adsorption data are well fitted and the maximum adsorption capacity of FHM in removing arsenic is 10.031 mg g-1. This high arsenic uptake capability combined with a low density of FHM makes it a potential material for arsenic removal particularly during the fabrication of lightweight portable water purification devices.

Abstract
This review discusses the recent trends in the research over the last 30 years to use clay minerals in natural and modified forms for removing different toxic organic/inorganic pollutants. The natural and modified forms of clay minerals have an exceptional ability to remove different contaminants. However, the modification methods can improve the clay mineral adsorption properties that consequently increase more adsorption sites and functional groups to adsorb different environmental pollutants. This review shows the importance of modification methods and more extension of novel clay preparation based on nanotechnology which could raise the control of pollution. The syntheses of functionalized clays such as pillared clays and porous clay heterostructures introduce the new class of heterostructure materials with high adsorption capacity, capability, and selectivity. Due to the acceptable properties of heterostructure materials including high specific surface area, thermal and mechanical stability, and the existence of multifunctional groups to selective adsorption, this review collects more literature of research related to environmental protection issues. However, it is expected much attention to get a better understanding of the adsorption mechanism, regeneration, and recovery process of these materials.

Abstract
Herein, we reported the preparation of novel antibacterial nanocomposites based on biodegradable polymers. The nanocomposites were applied as capable adsorbent for removing of malachite green (MG) dye, as well as inhibiting of E. coli and S. aureus growth as the most common pollutants for water. The grafted xanthan gum with poly(vinylimidazole) (XG-g-PVI) nanocomposites were synthesized in the presence of different Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclays concentrations (1%, 3% and 5%). The prepared modified XG nanocomposites were detected through XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR and TEM. The maximum adsorption MG capacity was determined as 99.99% (909.1 mg/g) in basic medium at 30 °C for 90 min. The adsorption isotherm for removal of MG dye was studied against different models like Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, FloryHuggins isotherm models, however, the adsorption results were good fitted with Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9942). Additionally, various adsorption kinetic models: pseudo-first order, second order, pseudo-second order, and intra-particle diffusion models were studied for adsorption mechanism of MG dye on top of prepared nanocomposite surface. Finally, the antibacterial activity outcomes displayed that the prepared XG-g-PVI/MMT nanocomposites had excellent inhibition growth for bacteria and the antibacterial activity increased abruptly with the increased of MMT nanoclay concentrations.

Abstract
In the present work, talc (a low-cost clay) encapsulated salts alginate (TAL) beads were synthesized by cross-linking with lanthanum ion and tested for phosphate adsorption. Multiple methods were applied for the characterization of composites. The combined effect of talc and lanthanum improved phosphate removal performance of TAL beads. Factors such as talc content, La3+ concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, co-existing ions (Cl-, NO3- and SO42-) were studied in batch experiments. The optimized TAL-7 beads exhibited satisfactory selectivity towards phosphate in the coexistence of competing anions and could remain efficient phosphate removal in the pH range of 4-6. The phosphate removal efficiency reached to 95% with a maximum uptake of 16.4 mg P/g obtained at the optimal pH 4. Further experiments suggested that Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model could well describe the phosphate adsorption process of TAL-7 beads. Moreover, TAL-7 beads exhibited superior phosphate fixation performance in the long-term experiment. The results from adsorption experiment and characterization analysis demonstrated that TAL-7 beads could be a cost-effective and promising biosorbent for phosphate adsorption and fixation in the aqueous environment.

Abstract
Removal of arsenic from water is of utmost priorities on a global scenario due to its ill effects. Therefore, in the present study, aluminium oxide nano-particles (nano-alumina) were synthesised via solution combustion method, which is self-propagating and eco-friendly in nature. Synthesised nano-alumina was further employed for arsenate removal from water. Usually, pre-oxidation of arsenite is performed for better removal of arsenic in its pentavalent form. Thus, arsenate removal as a function of influencing parameters such as initial concentration, dose, pH, temperature, and competing anions was the prime objective of the present study. The speciation analysis showed that H2AsO4- and HAsO42- were co-existing anions between pH 6 and 8, as a result of which higher removal was observed. Freundlich isotherm model was well suited for data on adsorption. At optimal temperature of 298 K, maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was found as 1401.90 μg/g. The kinetic data showed film diffusion step was the controlling mechanism. In addition, competing anions like nitrate, bicarbonate, and chloride had no major effect on arsenate removal efficiency, while phosphate and sulphate significantly reduced the removal efficiency. The negative values of thermodynamic parameters ΔH° (- 23.15 kJ/mol) established the exothermic nature of adsorption, whereas the negative values of ΔG° (- 7.05, - 6.51, - 5.97, and - 5.43 kJ/mol at 298, 308, 318, and 328 K respectively) indicated the spontaneous nature of the process. The best-fitted isotherm was used to design a batch adsorber to estimate the required amount of aluminium oxide nano-particles for achieving the desired equilibrium arsenate concentration. Nano-alumina was also applied to treat the collected arsenic-contaminated groundwater from actual field. Experimental data were used to develop a neural network-based model for the effective prediction of removal efficiency without carrying out any extra experimentation.

Abstract
Composite beads (APEI*), obtained by the controlled interaction of algal biomass with PEI, followed by ionotropic gelation and crosslinking processes using CaCl2/glutaraldehyde solution, constitute efficient supports for metal binding. The quaternization of algal/PEI beads (Q-APEI*) significantly increases the sorption properties of the composite beads (APEI*) for As(V). The materials are characterized by SEM/EDX, TGA, BET, elemental analysis, FTIR, XPS, and titration. The sorption of As(V) is studied in function of pH while sorption mechanism is discussed in function of metal speciation and surface characteristics of the sorbent. Optimum sorption occurs at pH close to 7. Fast uptake kinetics, correlated to textural properties are successfully fitted by pseudo-first order rate equation and the Crank equation (for resistance to intraparticle diffusion); equilibrium is reached with 45-60 min. The Langmuir equation finely fits sorption isotherms; maximum sorption capacity reaches 1.34 mmol As g-1. Arsenic can be completely eluted using 0.5 M CaCl2/0.5 M HCl solutions; the sorbent maintains high sorption and desorption efficiencies for a minimum of 5 cycles. The sorbent is tested for the removal of As(V) from mining effluents containing high concentration of iron and traces of zinc. At pH 3, the sorbent shows remarkable selectivity for As(V) over Fe. After controlling the initial pH to 5, a sorbent dosage of 2 g L-1 is sufficient for achieving the complete recovery of As(V) from mining effluent (corresponding to initial concentration of 1.295 mmol As L-1).

Abstract
Phosphorus removal from wastewater has become urgent because of eutrophication control. Phosphate concentration in control for phosphate removal and recovery by Mg-Fe oxide has been investigated. The results show that the adsorption capacity of phosphate by Mg-Fe oxide calcined at 450 °C was 28.3 mg/g, and it was kept at wide optimal adsorption pH ranges (4-10). The coexisting ions had influenced phosphate adsorption process and the order is CO32- > SO42- > NO3- > Cl-, with the inhibition rate of CO32- being 43%. Interestingly, phosphate concentration plays an important role in phosphate removal by Mg-Fe oxide. Under higher initial phosphate concentrations (200-800 mg/L), Sips model was well fitted. In addition, the adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model before 25 min and the pseudo-first-order kinetic model after 25 min. In contrast, Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model were fitted under lower initial phosphate concentrations (20-200 mg/L). The results of XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM characterization show that Mg3(PO4)2 was formed by surface precipitation under 800 mg/L phosphate solution, and Mg-Fe layered structure was present via the unique memory effect under 20 mg/L phosphate solution. Mg-Fe oxide can be recovered through CO32- ion exchange, and the removal efficiency of phosphate was 56% after seven cycles.

Abstract
In this investigation, bentonite clay (BC) and bentonite clay@MnFe2O4 composite (BCMFC) were applied as efficient adsorbents for adsorbing Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous media. Different analyses such as FTIR, SEM, EDX, Map, BET, and XRD were used to characterize the adsorbents. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) using BC were found to be 95.21 and 95.74%, while the corresponding values to the BCMFC were 97.37 and 98.65%, respectively. Also, the equilibrium and kinetic studies showed that the Freundlich isotherm model and the quasi-second-order kinetic model could better describe the equilibrium and kinetic behaviors of the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of the BC for the adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions were evaluated as 151.5 mg/g (25oC, pH 6, 90 min, and 1 g/L) and 161.3 mg/g (25oC, pH 3, 90 min, and 1 g/L), respectively, while the BCMFC showed the maximum capacities of 175.4 mg/g (25oC, pH 6, 60 min, and 1.5 g/L) and 178.6 mg/g (25oC, pH 3, 60 min, and 1.5 g/L) for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions, respectively, which were remarkable amounts. In addition, the thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption process was physical, spontaneous, and exothermic. High removal efficiency, high chromium adsorption capacity, and low-cost magnetic adsorbent were significant features of the BCMFC for removal of Cr (III) and Cr (VI).
