Abstract
Hydrogels are dynamically evolving 3D networks composed of hydrophilic polymer scaffolds with significant applications in the healthcare and environmental sectors. Notably, protein-based hydrogels mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting cell adhesion. Further enhancing cell proliferation within these scaffolds are matrix-metalloproteinase-triggered amino acid motifs. Integration of cell-friendly modules like peptides and proteins expands hydrogel functionality. These exceptional properties position hydrogels for diverse applications, including biomedicine, biosensors, environmental remediation, and the food industry. Despite significant progress, there is ongoing research to optimize hydrogels for biomedical and environmental applications further. Engineering novel hydrogels with favorable characteristics is crucial for regulating tissue architecture and facilitating ecological remediation. This review explores the synthesis, physicochemical properties, and biological implications of various hydrogel types and their extensive applications in biomedicine and environmental sectors. It elaborates on their potential applications, bridging the gap between advancements in the healthcare sector and solutions for environmental issues.

Abstract
Gum-based hydrogels (GBHs) have been widely employed in diverse water purification processes due to their environmental properties, and high absorption capacity. More desired properties of GBHs such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, material cost, simplicity of manufacture, and wide range of uses have converted them into promising materials in water treatment processes. In this review, we explored the application of GBHs to remove pollutants from contaminated waters. Water resources are constantly being contaminated by a variety of harmful effluents such as heavy metals, dyes, and other dangerous substances. A practical way to remove chemical waste from water as a vital component is surface adsorption. Currently, hydrogels, three-dimensional polymeric networks, are quite popular for adsorption. They have more extensive uses in several industries, including biomedicine, water purification, agriculture, sanitary products, and biosensors. This review will help the researcher to understand the research gaps and drawbacks in this field, which will lead to further developments in the future.

A review of the main methods for composite adsorbents characterization. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:88488-88506. [PMID: 36334205 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23883-z] [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: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Adsorption is a promising technology for removing several contaminants from aqueous matrices. In the last years, researchers worldwide have been working on developing composite adsorbents to overcome some limitations and drawbacks of conventional adsorbent materials, which depend on various factors, including the characteristics of the adsorbents. Therefore, it is essential to characterize the composite adsorbents to describe their properties and structure and elucidate the mechanisms, behavior, and phenomenons during the adsorption process. In this sense, this work aimed to review the main methods used for composite adsorbent characterization, providing valuable information on the importance of these techniques in developing new adsorbents. In this paper, we reviewed the following methods: X-Ray diffraction (XRD); spectroscopy; scanning electron microscopy (SEM); N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms (BET and BJH methods); thermogravimetry (TGA); point of zero charge (pHPZC); elemental analysis; proximate analysis; swelling and water retention capacities; desorption and reuse.

The Hotspots and Trends in the Literature on Cleaner Production: A Visualized Analysis Based on Citespace. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
Cleaner production (CP) has emerged as a new concept to cope with the astronomical environmental degradation associated with the expanding scope of industrialization. We conducted a review of the scientific data on the conceptualization of “cleaner production” using published documents from the 2011–2021 period. Data were extracted from the CNKI and WOS databases—two major databases based in China and the United States, respectively. Citespace software was used to track the developmental process and trend of future research on cleaner production. We report the following findings: (1) While the literature on cleaner production in CNKI is decreasing, the literature in WOS has been increasing annually. (2) Even though clear instances of different research priorities exist between WOS and CNKI, the research problems addressed in the two databases, however, are mostly common. In terms of research collaboration, WOS is more likely to accept papers with cross-institutional authorship. The study further identified that there is no aggregation effect between Chinese research institutions. (3) In WOS, the Journal of Cleaner Production is the most popular journal for researchers, and in CNKI the Chinese Journal of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning leads in CP publications. (4) Regarding the research hotspots, there are obvious differences between WOS and CNKI. Finally, we put forward the future prospects for cleaner production research.

Polyethylene over magnetite-multiwalled carbon nanotubes for kerosene removal from water. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 287:132310. [PMID: 34826948 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a nano-adsorbent was prepared for kerosene removal from water. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized with concentrated HNO3 (nitric acid). Subsequently, Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanoparticles were deposited on the MWCNTs to prepare a magnetite/MWCNTs (Fe-MWCNTs) nanocomposite. Then, polyethylene was added to the Fe-MWCNTs to fabricate a polyethylene/magnetite/MWCNTs (PE/Fe-MWCNTs) novel nanocomposite. The nano-adsorbent was characterized using BET, FTIR, Raman, XRD, TEM, and SEM. A kerosene-water model mixture was used for adsorption tests. Several parameters: adsorption time, adsorbent dose, solution pH, solution temperature, and kerosene concentration in the kerosene-water model mixture, were analyzed during adsorption experiments. After each batch experiment, kerosene concentration was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Magnetic field was used to remove the adsorbent after each experiment. The kerosene adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of the PE/Fe-MWCNTs nanocomposite (3560 mg/g and 71.2 %, respectively) were higher than those of Fe-MWCNTs, ox-MWCNTs, and fresh MWCNTs (3154 mg/g and 63.1 %, 2204 mg/g and 44.0 %, and 2092 mg/g and 41.8 %, respectively). Kerosene adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) and the Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting that adsorption was uniform and homogenous process.
