Heliyon 2024; 10:e23139. [PMID: 38173523 PMCID: PMC10761367 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This work presents a novel, strong and efficient adsorbent (CS@TDI@EDTA@γ-AlO(OH)) prepared through the green process using three components, chitosan, BNPs and EDTA using amide and ester bridges. An eco-friendly and easy approach was used for the preparation of this novel adsorbent, the low cost, easy access to the used materials, and the simplicity of the preparation method are some of the interesting advantages of this work. Also, this prepared adsorbent was used as an adsorbent to remove diazinon organophosphate poison and tetracycline antibiotic from aqueous solutions. In order to confirm the prepared adsorbent structure, the CS@TDI@EDTA@γ-AlO(OH) composite was investigated by various analyses including FT-IR, EDX, XRD, FESEM and TGA. The adsorption behavior of the adsorbent prepared for the removal of tetracycline and diazinon was investigated under different conditions by varying the concentration, temperature, the adsorbent dose, pH and contact time. Based on various tests, the highest diazinon adsorption capacity was obtained for 0.12 g/L adsorbent at pH 7 and 60 °C with 40 mg/L initial concentration. Also, the maximum adsorption capacity of the tetracycline was obtained for 0.12 g/L adsorbent at pH 9 and 60 °C with 30 mg/L initial concentration. The equilibrium results for diazinon and for tetracycline were in good accordance with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Also, the highest adsorption capacities for diazinon at pH 7 and tetracycline at pH 9 were 1428.5 and 555.5 mg/g, respectively. Also the kinetic investigations revealed that the correlation factor (R2) of pseudo-second-order model obtained for the adsorption of diazinon and tetracycline was 0.9986 and 0.9988, while the coefficient k (g/mg.min) was 0.000084 and 0.0033, respectively. These results indicate that the adsorption of diazinon and tetracycline is pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Formation of hydrogen bonds between adsorbate and adsorbent as well as the high specific surface area and porosity of the adsorbent are the main mechanisms that contribute to the adsorption process. In addition, thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of diazinon and tetracycline is a spontaneous endothermic process. The adsorbent prepared in this work was expected to have wide range of applications in wastewater treatment thanks to its good reusability in water and strong removal of diazinon and tetracycline compared to other adsorbents.

Abstract
Since 2011, the Caribbean Islands have experienced unprecedented stranding of a pelagic brown macroalgae Sargassum inducing damages for coastal ecosystems and economy. This study measures the kinetics of metal trace elements (MTE) in Sargassum reaching different coastal environments. In July 2021, over a period of 25 days, fixed experimental floating cages containing the three Sargassum morphotypes (S. fluitans III and S. natans I and VIII) were placed in three different coastal habitats (coral reef, seagrass, and mangrove) in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). Evolution of biomasses and their total phenolic content of Sargassum reveals that environmental conditions of caging were stressful and end up to the death of algae. Concentrations of 19 metal(loid) trace elements were analyzed and three shapes of kinetics were identified with the MTE that either concentrate, depurate, or remains stable. In the mangrove, evolution of MTE was more rapid than the two other habitats a decrease of the As between 70 and 50 μg g-1 in the mangrove. Sargassum natans I presented a different metal composition than the two other morphotypes, with higher contents of As and Zn. All Sargassum morphotype are rapidly releasing the metal(oid)s arsenic (As) when they arrive in studied coastal habitats. In order to avoid the transfer of As from Sargassum to coastal environments, Sargassum stranding should be avoided and their valorization must take into account their As contents.

Sargassum macroalgae from Quintana Roo as raw material for the preparation of high-performance phosphate adsorbent from aqueous solutions. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 342:118312. [PMID: 37270982 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Currently, the large volumes of Sargassum biomass (Sgs) arriving on Caribbean coasts are a problem that must be solved quickly. One alternative is to obtain value-added products from Sgs. In this work, Sgs is demonstrated to be a high-performance Ca - bioadsorbent for phosphate removal by a heat pretreatment at 800 °C that produces biochar. According to XRD analysis, calcined Sgs (CSgs) have a composition of 43.68%, 40.51%, and 8.69% of Ca(OH)2, CaCO3, and CaO, making CSgs a promising material for phosphate removal and recovery. Results demonstrated that CSgs have a high capacity to adsorb P over a wide range of concentrations (25-1000 mg P/L). After P removal, at low P concentration, the adsorbent material is rich in apatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH), and at high P concentration, brushite (CaHPO4•2H2O) was the main P compound. The CSg reached a Qmax of 224.58 mg P/g, which is higher than other high-performance adsorbents reported in the literature. The phosphate adsorption mechanism was dominated by chemisorption, followed by precipitation according to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The solubility of P (74.5 wt%) in formic acid solution and the water-soluble P (24.8 wt%) for CSgs after P adsorption indicated that the final product presents the potential to be used as fertilizer for acid soils. This biomass's processability and high phosphate adsorption performance for P removal make CSgs a potential material for wastewater treatment, and subsequent use of these residues as fertilizer offers a circular economy solution to this problem.

Rice husk biochar - A novel engineered bio-based material for transforming groundwater-mediated fluoride cycling in natural environments. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 343:118222. [PMID: 37235991 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Biochar, a promising carbon-rich and carbon-negative material, can control water pollution, harness the synergy of sustainable development goals, and achieve circular economy. This study examined the performance feasibility of treating fluoride-contaminated surface and groundwater using raw and modified biochar synthesized from agricultural waste rice husk as problem-fixing renewable carbon-neutral material. Physicochemical characterizations of raw/modified biochars were investigated using FESEM-EDAX, FTIR, XRD, BET, CHSN, VSM, pHpzc, Zeta potential, and particle size analysis were analyzed to identify the surface morphology, functional groups, structural, and electrokinetic behavior. In fluoride (F-) cycling, performance feasibility was tested at various governing factors, contact time (0-120 min), initial F- levels (10-50 mg L-1), biochar dose (0.1-0.5 g L-1), pH (2-9), salt strengths (0-50 mM), temperatures (301-328 K), and various co-occurring ions. Results revealed that activated magnetic biochar (AMB) possessed higher adsorption capacity than raw biochar (RB) and activated biochar (AB) at pH 7. The results indicated that maximum F- removal (98.13%) was achieved using AMB at pH 7 for 10 mg L-1. Electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, pore fillings, and surface complexation govern F- removal mechanisms. Pseudo-second-order and Freundlich were the best fit kinetic and isotherm for F- sorption, respectively. Increased biochar dose drives an increase in active sites due to F- level gradient and mass transfer between biochar-fluoride interactions, which reported maximum mass transfer for AMB than RB and AB. Fluoride adsorption using AMB could be described through chemisorption processes at room temperature (301 K), though endothermic sorption follows the physisorption process. Fluoride removal efficiency reduced, from 67.70% to 53.23%, with increased salt concentrations from 0 to 50 mM NaCl solutions, respectively, due to increased hydrodynamic diameter. Biochar was used to treat natural fluoride-contaminated surface and groundwater in real-world problem-solving measures, showed removal efficiency of 91.20% and 95.61%, respectively, for 10 mg L-1 F- contamination, and has been performed multiple times after systematic adsorption-desorption experiments. Lastly, techno-economic analysis was analyzed for biochar synthesis and F- treatment performance costs. Overall, our results revealed worth output and concluded with recommendations for future research on F- adsorption using biochar.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of chitosan based semi-IPN nanocomposite hydrogels for the adsorptive removal of basic violet 14 (BV14) from aqueous solution has been explored. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to determine the effect of various parameters on BV14 adsorption, and optimum values were reported as pH of 8, the adsorbent dosage of 0.025 g, initial BV14 concentration of 5 mg L-1 and contact time of 90 min at a temperature of 25 °C. The semi-IPN hydrogel containing 0.5% by weight GO showed the improved adsorption capacity for BV14 compared to the neat hydrogel adsorbent, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 276.21 mg g-1 with a removal efficiency of 90.4%. Kinetic studies have shown that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model can well describe BV14 adsorption. The equilibrium adsorption data showed the best fit with the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic studies revealed that BV14 adsorption was physical in nature and occurred spontaneously and endothermically. The BV14 removal efficiency above 84% was obtained after five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, which has proved the reusability performance of the adsorbent and the recovery potential of BV14 dye. Overall, the results of this study indicated that GO containing chitosan based semi-IPN nanocomposite hydrogel could be an effective and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the successful removal of BV14 molecules from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Natural manganese ore (NM) is selected as a distinguished constructed wetland (CW) substrate for nutrient pollutants removal, however, the study on municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent treatment remains scarce. The current study was to investigate the sorption characteristics of NM and the removal efficiency of ammonium and phosphorus from one WWTP effluent in a simulated vertical flow NM constructed wetland (NM-VFCW). Results indicated that NM could effectively sorb ammonium and phosphorus within 24 h, and the desorption ratio was less than 7%. The sorption of ammonium and phosphorus enhanced when increasing the particle size of NM, but was not sensitive with temperature. The removal efficiencies for ammonium and phosphorus were 65% and 76% in NM-VFCW, which were 61% and 31% in gravel VFCW. The much higher removal efficiency for phosphorus was mainly attributed to the precipitation of phosphorus which was identified by the SEM and EDS spectrum. Therefore, the manganese ore sand is highlighted as a powerful substrate for simultaneous advanced removal of phosphorus and ammonium in constructed wetland systems.

Abstract
The pollution caused by heavy metal ions in industrial wastewater is of a great concern. Applying effective and low-cost methods is an urgent need for treatment of polluted water and aqueous solutions. Biosorption have received the most attention among the various methods. It has become an alternative technique to conventional technologies due to low cost, simple operation and treatment for heavy metal recovery, and high selectivity. In recent years, sea material shells have been applied as one of the most cost-effective bio-adsorbents due to their special properties. They are environmentally friendly, low cost, and easy to access and have high adsorption capacity. The purpose of this review is to present the application of oyster shell, snail shell, and shrimp shell as low-cost and effective biosorbents for removal of noxious heavy metals from aqueous solutions. In addition, heavy metals, their sources, and ways to remediate them from waste streams and various factors affecting the biosorption process with sea materials shells are also reviewed. Moreover, a brief description and literature review of the equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic behaviors of the heavy metal ion adsorption process on sea material shells have been studied. Finally, further applications of sea materials shell for waste effluents treatment are specially focused.

Abstract
The present paper describes the sono-assisted adsorption (sono-adsorption) of methylene blue (MB), methyl violet (MV), and Nile blue (NB) from aqueous solution by AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite. FT-IR, TGA-DTG, VSM, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, Map, and Raman analysis were used to characterize the magnetic composite. The magnetization saturation value of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite was determined to be 53.06 emu/g. Dye sono-adsorption efficiency was increased by increasing adsorbent dose, pH value, and contact time, but not dye concentration. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models were used to study the kinetic behavior of the cationic dye sono-adsorption. The sono-adsorption kinetics was reasonably followed by pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.998). The results showed that the Freundlich model (R2 > 0.976) was more able to describe the sono-adsorption equilibrium behavior than Langmuir, D-R, and Scatchard models. The maximum sono-adsorption capacity of NB, MV, and MB was determined as 86.24, 83.90, and 87.48 mg/g, respectively. Based on the parameters derived from isotherm modeling (RL, n, and E), the sono-adsorption process of cationic dyes is desirable and physical. An increase in NaCl concentration reduced the sono-adsorption efficiency for all dyes. Also, the adsorption-desorption of AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic was studied up to 10 stages, and it was confirmed that the sono-adsorption efficiency is acceptable up to the eight stage. AC/CoFe2O4 magnetic composite is, therefore, an affordable and recyclable adsorbent to remove the molecule of NB, MV, and MB dyes from aqueous media.

Abstract
In the present study, the Umbonium vestiarium snail shell (UVS) was used as an abundant and low-cost resource for the removal of Co (II) from aqueous solution. The characteristics of calcined Umbonium vestiarium snail shell (CUVS) were analyzed using FTIR, SEM, MAP, EDAX, and BET analyses. The results showed that the specific surface area of the CUVS was obtained 17.02 m2/g which was an acceptable amount. The presence of Co (II) in the adsorbent structure was confirmed by EDAX, and Map analyses after Co (II) adsorption showed that the adsorbent successfully adsorbed Co (II) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters such as, contact time, initial concentration of cobalt ion, the adsorbent dose, and pH value was also investigated. The maximum efficiency of cobalt ion adsorption was measured 93.87% at a pH value of 6, contact time of 80 min, the adsorbent dose of 3 g/L, and initial ion concentration of 10 mg/L. Also, Langmuir, Freundlich, and D-R isotherm models were used to determine the most appropriate isotherm model for cobalt ion adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium data were better fitted with the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 93.46 mg/g. Additionally, the average free energy of adsorption was evaluated in the amount of 1.4085 KJ/mol, revealing a physical adsorption. Moreover, the kinetic behavior study showed that the experimental data follow the pseudo second order kinetic model to the value of correlation coefficient.

Amendment of Caulerpa sertularioides marine alga with sulfur-containing materials to accelerate Cu removal from aqueous media. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:4703-4716. [PMID: 30565119 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-3934-6] [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: 05/25/2018] [Accepted: 12/06/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
This study reports a new approach of alga amendment in a live mode. The Caulerpa sertularioides alga was modified with sulfur-containing materials of methionine (C5H11NO2S) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to more concentrate the sulfur content of the yielded biomass (adsorbent). The simple and amended C. sertularioides alga was fully characterized with FTIR, SEM, EDX, BET, BJH, and pHzpc techniques. The copper adsorption from aqueous media was done by three adsorbents of C. sertularioides-simple (CSS), C. sertularioides-Na2SO4 (CSN), and C. sertularioides-C5H11NO2S (CSC). The parameters of pH (2-6), adsorbent dosage (2-10 g/L), and contact time (3-80 min) were optimized at 5, 5 g/L, and 60 min, respectively. According to Langmuir isotherm (the best-fitted model), the maximum adsorption capacity of CSN (98.04 mg/g) was obtained 2.4 times higher than CSC (40.73 mg/g) and 9.5 times higher than CSS (10.29 mg/g). The Cu adsorption process by the adsorbents was best-fitted pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The CSN, CSC, and CSS biomasses were successfully reused 5, 4, and 4 times, respectively. The thermodynamic study revealed that the copper adsorption process by CSN is exothermic and non-spontaneous. Finally, the suitability of adsorbents prepared from algae was tested by cleaning a simulated wastewater.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
The presence of dyes in the water is toxic and harmful to human body so, it must be removed from the water. In the present study, the removal of methyl violet (MV) from aqueous solutions using brown algae “Padina sanctae-crucis” was investigated.
Materials and methods
The rate of adsorption was investigated under various parameters such as contact time (5–200), pH (2–11), dye concentration (10–60 mg/L), amount of adsorbent (0.25–5 g/L) and temperature (25–45°C).
Results
The maximum adsorption was achieved in 10 mg/L, pH=8 and adsorbent dose 2 g/L and 80 min contact time for removal of MV from aqueous solutions. Kinetic studies showed that the pseudo second-order model describes adsorbent kinetic behavior better. Besides, experimental data have been modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the results showed that both models are proper to describe adsorption isotherm behavior. In addition, the equilibrium study shows that the adsorption was physical and favorable. Moreover, a thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption process is exothermic and spontaneously in nature. Furthermore, Maximum adsorption capacity using adsorbent was 10.02 mg/g.
Conclusions
It could be concluded that the P. sanctae-crucis biomass is a good adsorbent for removing MV dyes from aqueous solutions.

Experiment-based thermodynamic feasibility with co-digestion of nutrient-rich biowaste materials for biogas production. 3 Biotech 2018; 8:34.

Abstract
Wild strains of algal biomass, a major contributor for eutrophication in freshwater bodies, can be used as a potential substrate in association with other nutrient-rich biowaste materials like animal excreta and industrial wastewater, for biogas production. This novel concept was experimentally evaluated and analyzed by the modified Gompertz equation for maximum biogas production (μm), lag phase (λ), and biogas yield (P). The value of correlation coefficient (R2) was 0.99 at varying temperature ranges (30, 40, and 50 °C). Thermodynamic functions like enthalpy (∆H), entropy (∆S), and Gibb's free energy (∆G) were evaluated for the chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency. Thermodynamic functions such as ∆G (-), ∆H (+), and ∆S (+) showed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of substrate degradation and biogas production was found to be increased with increasing temperature. So, this novel co-digestion approach using nutrient-rich biowaste materials provides a new insight into biogas production with the aim of waste-to-energy generation.

Abstract
In some part of the world, groundwater source can become unsafe for drinking due to the high concentration of fluoride ions [1]. The low cost and facile-produced adsorbent like palm stone could effectively removed fluoride ions through adsorption process. In this dataset, the influence of fluoride ion concentration, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on fluoride ion adsorption by palm stones was tested by central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The data stone carbonized adsorbent was prepared by a simple and facile method at relatively low temperature of 250 °C during 3 h. The adsorbent had the main functional groups of O–H, –OH, Si–H, C=O, N=O, C–C, C–OR, C–H, and C–Br on its surface. At the optimized conditions obtained by RSM, about 84.78% of fluoride ion was removed using the adsorbent. The Langmuir isotherm was suitable for correlation of equilibrium data (maximum adsorption capacity= 3.95 mg/g). Overall, the data offer a facile adsorbent to water and wastewater works which face to high level of fluoride water/ wastewater content.
