Zhao T, Sun A, Xu R, Chen R. Enhancing solid-phase extraction of tetracyclines with a hybrid biochar sorbent: A comparative study of chlorella and bamboo biochars. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1730:465092. [PMID: 38914029 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Biochar, a sustainable sorbent derived from pyrolyzed biomass, has garnered attention for its efficacy in solid-phase extraction (SPE) of antibiotics, with a particular focus on tetracyclines (TCs). Despite its recognized potential, the intricate separation mechanisms operative in biochar-based SPE systems have not been fully deciphered. This investigation contrasts chlorella biochar against commercial bamboo biochar, harnessing an array of analytical methodologies-microstructure characterization, adsorption thermodynamics, competitive adsorption kinetics, H+ back titration, and selectivity adsorption studies-complemented by a Box-Behnken design for the optimization of chlorella/bamboo-SPE and subsequent application in the analysis of animal-derived foodstuffs. The study unveils that a hybrid sorbent, integrating nitrogen-doped microporous chlorella biochar with mesoporous bamboo biochar in a 95/5 mass ratio, markedly diminishes irreversible adsorption while enhancing selectivity, surpassing the performance of single biochar SPE systems. The elucidated separation mechanisms implicate a partition model, propelled by oxygen-rich functional groups on chlorella biochar and the rapid adsorption kinetics of bamboo biochar, all orchestrated by electrostatic interactions within the mixed biochar framework. Moreover, the synergy of mixed biochar-SPE with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) demonstrates exceptional proficiency in detecting TCs in animal viscera, evidenced by recovery rates spanning 80.80 % to 106.98 % and RSDs ranging from 0.24 % to 14.69 %. In essence, this research not only sheds light on the multifaceted factors influencing SPE efficiency but also propels the use of biochar towards new horizons in environmental monitoring and food safety assurance.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is widely present in the environment, and adsorption technology is a potential remediation method. S/N co-doped tea residue biochar (SNBC) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal carbonization method using tea residue as raw material. S was doped by Na2S2O3·5H2O, and N was doped by N in tea residue. The adsorption efficiency of SNBC could reach 94.16% when the concentration of TC was 100 mg L-1. The adsorption effect of SNBC on TC was 9.38 times more than that of unmodified biochar. Tea biochar had good adsorption effect at pH 4-9. The maximum adsorption capacity of 271 mg g-1 was calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption mechanism involved many mechanisms such as pore filling, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. The adsorbent prepared in this study could be used as an effective adsorbent in the treatment of TC wastewater.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121872.

Abstract
Numerous antibiotics are being released into the natural environment through wastewater. As antibiotic usage increases annually, its detrimental impact on the environment is escalating. Addressing environmental sustainability and human health requires significant attention towards antibiotic removal. In recent years, magnetic biochar (MBC) has gained widespread application in water treatment due to its exceptional adsorption and catalytic degradation capabilities. Antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX), tetracycline (TC), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and others commonly exhibit an adsorption capacity by MBC ranging from 5 mg/g to 900 mg/g. Moreover, MBC typically removes over 90% of these antibiotics within 60 min. The effectiveness of antibiotic removal is significantly influenced by various preparation and modification methods. Furthermore, the incorporation of magnetism enables the material to be recycled and reused multiple times, thereby reducing consumption costs. This article discusses recent studies on antibiotic removal using MBC. It has been observed that variations in the selection of raw material and preparation procedures significantly affect antibiotic removal, while the mechanisms involved in antibiotic removal remain ambiguous. Additionally, it has been noted that the removal process may lead to secondary pollution and high preparation costs. Therefore, this review comprehensively outlines the utilization of MBC in the removal of antibiotics from wastewater, including aspects such as modification, preparation, removal mechanism, and factors influencing removal, and providing recommendations for antibiotic development. The aim is to offer researchers a clear understanding to advance the field of MBC materials.

Abstract
Developing a high-performance method that can effectively control pollution caused by low concentrations of antibiotics is urgently needed. Herein, a novel three-dimensional PPy/Zn3In2S6 nanoflower composites were prepared for the comprehensive treatment of low-concentration tetracycline (Tc) hydrochloride in wastewater based on the adsorption/photocatalysis of Zn3In2S6 and the conductivity of PPy. In this preparation method, adsorption enrichment and photocatalytic regeneration were conducted in two steps, eliminating the dilution and dispersion effects of aqueous solvents on photocatalytic species and antibiotics. Results showed that Zn3In2S6 could effectively adsorb 87.85% of Tc at pH of 4.5 and photocatalytically degrade Tc at pH of 10.5. Although the adsorption capacity of Zn3In2S6 was slightly reduced after being combined with PPy, its photocatalytic efficiency was substantially enhanced. Specifically, 0.5%PPy/Zn3In2S6 could degrade 99.92% of the surface-enriched Tc in 1 h and induce the regeneration of the adsorption sites. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity remained above 85% even after recycling PPy/Zn3In2S6 ten times. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism analysis revealed that the enrichment of Tc on 0.5%PPy/Zn3In2S6 negatively impacts the photocatalytic efficiency, while •O2- and •OH radicals were the main oxidative species that played an important role in the photoregeneration process.

Abstract
The effective removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) from water is of great significance and remains a big challenge. In this work, a novel magnetized biochar (magnetic functionalized carbon microsphere, MF-CMS) was prepared by the coupling hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis activation of starch-rich rice waste using ZnCl2 and FeCl3 as activators. As the MF-CMS dose was 2.0 g/L, the initial concentration of TCs was 100 mg/L, the removal rates of tetracycline, doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline were 96.02%, 96.10%, 96.52%, and 85.88%, respectively. The best modeled on pseudo second order, Langmuir adsorption model, and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models suggested that both chemisorption and physisorption occurred in all removal processes, in which chemisorption dominated. TCs were efficiently adsorbed through the combined effects of pore filling, electrostatic attraction, π-π interactions, and complexation reactions of surface functional groups (such as γ-Fe2O3 and FeOOH). The removal rates of TCs after five cycles approximately decreased by 20%. And the cycling and metal ion release experiments of MF-CMS indicated that MF-CMS had good reusability, stability, and safety. The estimated cost of preparing MF-CMS is 5.91 USD per kg, and 1 kg of MF-CMS (consuming 8 kg of waste rice) can approximately treat 0.55 tons of TCs wastewater. Overall, the magnetic biochar derived from starch-rich rice waste as an adsorbent has promising and effective for the removal of TCs from water, but also provides a new idea for the resourceful treatment of solid waste.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides have been demonstrated to be effective for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation towards wastewater treatment. However, the activity of vanadium sulfide (VS4) and the role of the chemical state of V have not been revealed. Here, three types of VS4 with various morphologies and chemical states of V were synthesized by using methanol (M-VS4, nanosphere composed of nanosheets), ethanol (E-VS4, sea urchin like nanosphere) and ultrapure water (U-VS4, compact nanosphere) as hydrothermal solvent, respectively, and used as heterogeneous catalysts to activate PMS for the degradation of refractory organic pollutants. The effects of PMS concentration, temperature, pH, inorganic ions, and humic acid (HA) on the degradation efficiency of VS4/PMS system were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the highest specific surface area and lowest ratio of V5+ enable E-VS4/PMS system possessed the highest performance in degrading tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), in which 100% TCH was removed after operating 10 min (0.805 min-1) under a relatively low concentration of PMS (1 mM) and catalyst (100 mg/L). It also revealed that the system exhibited a typical radical process in TCH degradation, which could be attributed to the redox cycles between V5+, V4+ and V3+ in the presence of PMS to generate various radicals. This radical process enabled the E-VS4/PMS system with a high activity in wide reaction conditions and high mineralization ratios in degrading various refractory organic pollutants within 10 min. In addition, the E-VS4/PMS system exhibited favorable reusability and stability with very less V and S ions leaching, and showed excellent performance in real water purification.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 862:160860.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) derived from orange peels was modified using LaCl3 to enhance its tetracycline (TC) adsorption capacity. SEM-EDS, FT-IR, XRD, and BET were used to characterize the physiochemical characteristics of La-modified biochar (La-BC). Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of several variables like pyrolysis temperature, adsorbent dosage, initial pH, and coexisting ions on the adsorption of TC by La-BC. XPS and density functional theory (DFT) were used to elucidate the TC adsorption mechanism of La-BC. The results demonstrated that La was uniformly coated on the surface of the La-BC. The physiochemical characteristics of La-BC highly depended on pyrolysis temperature. Higher temperature increased the specific surface area and functional groups of La-BC, thus enhancing its TC adsorption capacity. La-BC prepared at 700 °C (BC@La-700) achieved the maximum adsorption capacity of 143.20 mg/g, which was 6.8 and 4.6 times higher than that of BC@La-500 and BC@La-600, respectively. The mechanisms of TC adsorption by La-BC were most accurately described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherm of La-BC was consistent with the Freundlich model. BC@La-700 achieved good TC adsorption efficiencies even at a wide pH range (pH 4-10). Humic acid significantly inhibited TC adsorption by La-BC. The presence of coexisting ions (NH4+, Ca2+, NO3-) did not significantly affect the adsorption capacity of La-BC, particularly BC@La-700. Moreover, BC@La-700 also exhibited the best recycling performance, which achieved relative high adsorption capacity even after 5 cycles. The XPS results showed that π-π bonds, oxygen-containing functional groups, and La played a major role in the adsorption of TC on La-BC. The result of DFT showed that the adsorption energy of La-BC was the greatest than that of other functional groups on biochar. Collectively, our findings provide a theoretical basis for the development of La-BC based materials to remove TC from wastewater.

Abstract
A hydroxy-containing covalent organic framework (COF) was successfully obtained via a simple nitrogen-purge synthetic procedure for the first time. The COF favored a serrated AA-stacking arrangement, which enhanced the stability compared with common AA or AB arrangements. To validate the potential of the COF in environmental applications, we decorated the COF onto NiFe2O4 and used the NiFe2O4@COF nanocomposite for magnetic solid-phase extraction of trace bisphenols (BPs). The parameters affecting extraction efficiencies were systematically optimized. Under the optimum extraction conditions, calibration plots showed good linearity (5.0-1.0 × 103 ng mL-1) for six BPs, and limits of detection varied from 0.14 to 0.73 ng mL-1. Molecular polarity indexes and molecular dynamics simulations revealed why the COF could efficiently recognize and capture BPs. An adsorption mechanism related to the interaction between BP clusters and the COF was discovered. Ecotoxicological assessment of BPs further unraveled the significance of the developed method for the timely tracking of the concentration, distribution, and migration of BPs in environmental media.

Abstract
It is widely considered that photocatalysis is an effective and eco-friendly method of dealing with organic pollutants dissolved in water. Nonetheless, photocatalysts still have some drawbacks, such as poor visible-light absorption, easy recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, and limited active sites. In this study, bismuth ferrite coupled with biochar material (BiFeO3/BC) was simply synthesized, and its photocatalysis reactivity was systemically examined under an irradiation of λ > 400 nm. The experimental results showed that under a relatively acidic environment, the removal rate of tetracycline hydrochloride reached 95%. Using a variety of characterization investigations, we analyzed the morphology structure and chemical composition of BiFeO3/BC. In consideration of simple preparation and high respondence toward visible light, further explorations of BiFeO3/BC and its properties and optimized degradation conditions are worthwhile.

[PMID: 35957024 PMCID: PMC9370334 DOI: 10.3390/nano12152595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
The sludge-derived biochar is considered an effective emerging contaminants adsorbent for wastewater treatment. In this paper, red mud and steel slag (RMSS) was used for improving sludge dewaterability and enhancing the sludge-derived biochar adsorption capacity. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to comprehensively characterize the mineral composition, functional group, and morphology of the adsorbent. RMSS was able to improve the sludge dewatering performance by providing a skeleton structure to promote drainage and Fe(III) to decrease the Zeta potential. The dosage of 20 mg/g RMSS was able to reduce the specific resistance to filtration (SRF) and the Zeta potential of sludge from 1.57 × 1013 m/kg and −19.56 mV to 0.79 × 1013 m/kg and −9.10 mV, respectively. The co-pyrolysis of RMSS and sludge (2:8) induced the formation of biochar containing FeAl2O4 (PS80). The PS80 exhibited a large surface area (46.40 m2/g) and high tetracycline (TC) removal capacity (98.87 mg/g) when combined with H2O2 (PS80-H2O2). The adsorption process of TC onto PS80 and PS80-H2O2 was well described by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating physisorption and chemisorption behavior. The results indicated that co-pyrolysis of RMSS sludge PS80-H2O2 could enhance the biochar adsorption capacity of TC, attributable to the degradation by ·OH generated by the heterogeneous Fenton reaction of FeAl2O4 and H2O2, the release of adsorbed sites, and the improvement of the biochar pore structure. This study proposed a novel method for the use of RMSS to dewater sludge as well as to induce the formation of FeAl2O4 in biochar with effective TC removal by providing a Fe and Al source, achieving a waste-to-resource strategy for the integrated management of industrial solid waste and sewage sludge.

Abstract
As a kind of wastewater produced by papermaking industry, bamboo pulp black liquor (BPBL) discharged into water causes serious environmental problems. In this work, BPBL was successfully converted into porous carbon after activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH) through one-step carbonization, and adsorption properties of porous carbon derived from bamboo pulp black liquor (BLPC) for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and malachite green (MG) were studied. The adsorption capacities of BLPC for TCH and MG are 1047 and 1277 mg/g, respectively, due to its large specific surface area of 1859.08 m2/g. Kinetics and isotherm data are well fitted to the pseudo-second-order rate model and Langmuir model, respectively. Adsorption experiments and characterizations reveal that the adsorption mechanism involved in TCH and MG adsorption on BLPC mainly depends on the synergistic effect of pore filling, H-bonding, π-π interactions and weak electrostatic interactions. In addition, BLPC shows excellent photothermal properties, and the adsorption capacity of TCH and MG on BLPC can reach 584 and 847 mg/g under the irradiation of near infrared lamp for 50 min, respectively. The synthesized BLPC with high adsorption efficiency, good recovery ability, improved adsorption under near-infrared irradiation can be a promising and effective adsorbent for TCH or MG or other pollutes.
