[PMID: 38823909 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122239] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
A new zirconium and cerium-modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) film (PVA/CMC-Zr-Ce) was synthesized thru a high-speed shear-assisted method and its adsorption for the removal of fluoride was studied, in which the NaCMC provided -COONa for ion exchange between Na and Zr-Ce, thus the loading amount of Zr-Ce on films was accordingly increased. The morphology and structure of PVA/CMC-Zr-Ce were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Besides, the mechanical properties, water contact angle, and swelling ratio of film were also evaluated. The addition of high-speed shear improved the dispersion of the emulsion system, and PVA/CMC-Zr-Ce film with good adsorption performance and film stability was prepared. While, it was found that the adsorption capacity could reach 67.25 mg/g and equilibrium time could reach 20 min. The adsorption mechanism of PVA/CMC-Zr-Ce revealed that ion exchange between hydroxide and fluoride, electrostatic interactions and complexation were the dominating influencing factors. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that PVA/CMC-Zr-Ce film- synthesized with high-speed shear assistance technique is a promising adsorbent for fluoride removal from water.

E-beam irradiation-induced synthesis of hydroxyethyl cellulose/(Cu 2O-rGO)/BiVO 4-based nanocomposite for photocatalytic remediation of wastewater under visible light. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128681. [PMID: 38081488 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Using E-beam irradiation as an eco-friendly technique for initiation and crosslinking, a series of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose-poly vinyl alcohol copolymer hydrogels were synthesized as templates for cuprous oxide (Cu2O), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanoparticles to be used as nanocomposites photocatalysts for methylene blue (MB) dye decolorization using visible light. Preparation conditions were optimized to ensure the construction of a good network architecture and therefore the highest gelation degree. For the preparation of (Cu2O@rGO)/BiVO4 nanocomposites, a series of rGO was decorated by Cu2O using the precipitation method, followed by mixing with BiVO4 which was synthesized hydrothermally. (EDX), (XRD), (TEM), and (SEM) were used for nanoparticle characterization. The thermal characteristics of the fabricated nanocomposites were evaluated using thermal gravimetric analysis. The presence of rGO enhanced the decolorization efficiency of MB about 20 % higher than that of (HEC-PVA)/Cu2O which achieves only (59 %) decolorization efficiency. After the addition of BiVO4 NPs, the decolorization efficiency increased to reach 90 % after 150 min at pH 11 using a 10 ppm MB solution. The developed (HEC-PVA)/(Cu2O@rGO)/BiVO4 photocatalyst exhibits efficient reusability for 5 cycles. Treated dyed water shows a germination index (GI) of 82 % suggesting its suitability for irrigation of playgrounds and gardens.

Das L, Das P, Bhowal A. Synthesis and application of alginate-nanocellulose composite beads for defluoridation process in a batch and fluidized bed reactor. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118569. [PMID: 37453299 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118569] [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: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Electronegative Fluorine has great reactivity and it exists as organic or inorganic fluoride compounds. Biosorption feasibility of fluoride onto alginate-cellulose composites was investigated in this study. Extracted cellulose has been utilized to synthesize calcium alginate impregnated composite beads for fluoride remediation process in batch and fluidized-bed reactors. Physiochemical characteristics were analyzed by FTIR, SEM, TGA and BET. From the BET properties analysis, the surface area of prepared composite beads was 87.13 m2/g. The point zero charge (PZC) value of composite beads was attained at pH 7.32. The relationship between biosorption efficiency and independent variables have been observed to evaluate the effects on the fluoride biosorption efficiency of composites and its components. The hypothetical development of the removal technique has been explained using various nonlinear model-fitting methods to evaluate Isotherm study, bio-sorption Kinetics, Thermodynamic parameters and Mass transfer study. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacity (qm) obtained by following Langmuir model for fluoride removal was found to be 23.809 mg/g at 30 °C using adsorbent dosage of 2 g/L for an initial fluoride concentration of 6 mg/L. The optimized condition for fluoride adsorption experiment was observed by evaluating response surface methodology (RSM) was pH-5.67, dose 1.89 g/L and time 85.71 min and removal was found as 82.79%. Experimental data of fluidized-bed study were evaluated by designing mathematical modeling. Fluidization velocities was adjusted in between Umf and 2Umf for optimizing external mass transfer and adsorbent loss. Regeneration study of fluoride loaded biosorbent and cost analysis of composite production have been estimated.

Coconut coir-derived nanocellulose as an efficient adsorbent for removal of cationic dye safranin-O: a detailed mechanistic adsorption study. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-29075-7. [PMID: 37608172 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29075-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) coir is an abundant agricultural waste prevalent worldwide. Utilization of this waste has been carried out in this study by obtaining nanocellulose (NC) fibres for wastewater remediation purposes. Nanocellulose was obtained from coconut coir using bleaching and acid-alkali treatments followed by ultrasonication and lyophilization. The structural, compositional, surface and thermal properties of the synthesized material were identified using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N2 adsorption/desorption, differential thermal (DT) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses. These analyses confirmed the synthesized NC with enhanced thermal stability and porosity which was further used for adsorption process. After synthesis, NC was used for the removal of cationic dye safranin-O from water under ambient conditions through batch adsorption studies. The batch adsorption studies revealed that at 10 ppm of dye concentration, above 99% removal was achieved by 100 mg dosage of NC within 4.5 h at room temperature with qe (maximum adsorption capacity at equilibrium) value of around 83 mg g-1. The corresponding adsorption process fitted well with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics. The primary mode of adsorption from the thermodynamic studies was found to be chemisorption. The adsorption process was achieved through response surface methodology (RSM) study which revealed that at optimized conditions of temperature 35 °C with a dose of 137.50 mg and contact time of 180 min, above 99% of dye (conc. 0.01 mg mL-1) was removed. In addition, the adsorbent can be recycled up to six cycles without any significant loss of its adsorption capacity. The present comprehensive study revealed that a greener eco-friendly synthesis of NC from waste material coconut coir was an effective nanoadsorbent for dye removal with high efficacy. This surely opens up opportunities to develop sustainable protocols for efficient environmental remediation.
