Abstract
Recycling and reuse of agricultural plastics is an urgent worldwide issue. In this work, it is shown that low-density polyethylene (PE) typically used in mulch films can be converted into high-capacity P and N adsorbents through a two-step method that uses hydrothermal pretreatment (180 °C, 24 h) followed by pyrolysis at 500 °C with Ca(OH)2 additive. CaPE@HC500 materials prepared with the proposed two-step method were found to have high adsorption capacities for phosphate (263.6 mg/g) and nitrogen (200.7 mg/g) over wide ranges of pH (3-11). Dynamic adsorption of phosphate by CaPE@HC500 material in a packed-bed had a half-time breakthrough of 210 min indicating the feasibility of continuous systems. Material stability, cost, environmental-friendliness, and recyclability of the CaPE@HC500 material were determined to be superior to literature-proposed Ca-containing adsorbents. The two-step method for converting waste agricultural plastic mulch films into adsorbents is robust and highly-applicable to industrial settings.

Enhancing irrigation water quality efficiently with potassium feldspar-derived adsorbent: Heavy metal detoxification and nutrient augmentation. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 281:116648. [PMID: 38964065 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116648] [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: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
The pollution of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in both irrigation water and soil, coupled with the scarcity of vital mineral nutrition, poses a significant hazard to the security and quality of agricultural products. An economical potassium feldspar-derived adsorbent (PFDA) was synthesized using potassium feldspar as the main raw material through ball milling-thermal activation technology to solve this problem. The synthesis process is cost-effective and the resulting adsorbent demonstrates high efficiency in removing Pb2+ and Cd2+ from water. The removal process is endothermic, spontaneous, and stochastic, and follows the quasi-second-order kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, and Langmuir model. The adsorption and elimination of Pb2+ and Cd2+ is largely dependent on monolayer chemical sorption. The maximum removal capacity of PFDA for Pb2+ and Cd2+ at room temperature is 417 and 56.3 mg·g-1, respectively, which is superior to most mineral-based adsorbents. The desorption of Pb2+/Cd2+ on PFDA is highly challenging at pH≥3, whereas PFDA and Pb2+/Cd2+ are recyclable at pH≤0.5. When Pb2+ and Cd2+ coexisted, Pb2+ was preferentially removed by PFDA. In the case of single adsorption, Pb2+ was mainly adsorbed onto PFDA as Pb2SiO4, PbSiO3·xH2O, Pb3SiO5, PbAl2O4, PbAl2SiO6, PbAl2Si2O8, Pb2SO5, and PbSO4, whereas Cd2+ was primarily adsorbed as CdSiO3, Cd2SiO4, and Cd3Al2Si3O12. After the complex adsorption, the main products were PbSiO3·xH2O, PbAl2Si2O8, Pb2SiO4, Pb4Al2Si2O11, Pb5SiO7, PbSO4, CdSiO3, and Cd3Al2Si3O12. The forms of mineral nutrients in single and complex adsorption were different. The main mechanisms by which PFDA removed Pb2+ and Cd2+ were chemical precipitation, complexation, electrostatic attraction, and ion exchange. In irrigation water, the elimination efficiencies of Pb2+ and Cd2+ by PFDA within 10 min were 96.0 % and 70.3 %, respectively, and the concentrations of K+, Si4+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ increased by 14.0 %, 12.4 %, 55.7 %, and 878 %, respectively, within 60 min. PFDA holds great potential to replace costly methods for treating heavy metal pollution and nutrient deficiency in irrigation water, offering a sustainable, cost-effective solution and paving a new way for the comprehensive utilization of potassium feldspar.

Abstract
Biochar colloids (BCs) can be used as adsorbent materials for remediation of phenanthrene due to their high specific surface area and other characteristics. Understanding the effects of phenanthrene on the transport of BCs contributes to facilitate the removal of phenanthrene in soil and water habitats. In this work, the influence of phenanthrene on the transport of BCs under different environmental factors (pH, ionic strength (IS), media size) in a one-dimensional sand column was firstly explored together with a real-time visualization system to explore the transport mechanism of BCs in two-dimensional sand tank. The results show that phenanthrene adsorbed on the surface of BCs, shielded its surface charge and reduced the mobility of BCs in porous media. Acidic conditions promoted the agglomeration of BCs and adsorption of phenanthrene, resulting in a 51.03 % decrease in the maximum breakthrough rate of BCs compared to alkaline conditions. The same was true for the high IS condition, where the maximum breakthrough rate of BCs was only 0.95 % at IS = 50. Additionally, there was a substantial and positive correlation between media particle size and BCs mobility. As the quartz sand particle size increased, the maximum breakthrough rates of BCs were 2.67 %, 33.28 %, and 52.27 % in the 1-D experiment, and 0, 13.88 %, and 13.10 % in the 2-D experiment, respectively. The contact area of BCs with the medium expands under the fine particle size condition, leading to a significant decrease in the mobility of BCs at low potentials influenced by phenanthrene. This finding is significant for biochar application in phenanthrene contaminated soil and groundwater remediation.

Abstract
Developing multifunctional engineered adsorbents is an effective strategy for decontaminating the environment from various pollutants. In this study, a polyfunctionalized carbon-framework composite, MSC-CFM, was synthesized. The composite comprises an aromatic carbon framework enriched with various functional groups, including magnetic nanoparticles, hydroxyl, and amino groups. MSC-CFM was used to decontaminate Cr(VI) and polycyclic aromatic nitrides (p-dimethylaminoazobenzene sulfonate (DAS) and diphenyl-4, 4 '-di [sodium (azo-2 -) -1-amino-naphthalene-4-sulfonate] (DANS)) from acidic wastewater. The adsorption capacities of MSC-CFM for Cr(VI), DAS and DANS, quantified using the Langmuir isotherm model, were 161.28, 310.83, and 1566.09 mg/g, respectively. Cr(VI) and PAHs (DAS and DANS) were monolayer adsorbed controlled by chemisorption. MSC-CFM could maintain good adsorption efficiency after up to 6 adsorption and desorption cycles. The presence of polycyclic aromatic nitrides promoted the adsorption of Cr(VI) in the Cr(VI)-DAS/DANS binary systems. Removal of pollutants by MSC-CFM involved a variety of unreported reaction mechanisms, such as electrostatic attraction, redox reaction, anion exchange, intermolecular hydrogen bonding, complexation reaction, π-π interaction, and anion-π interaction. MSC-CFM, enriched with a variety of functional groups, is a promising new material for environmental protection. It has good potential for practical application in treating polluted wastewater.

Abstract
Agricultural waste biochar was widely used to absorb phosphorus (P) from eutrophicated water and soil remediation. However, the research on the reuse of the sorbed P on biochar in infertile saline soil is insufficient. Biochars derived from four kinds of agricultural wastes (cotton straws from two origins, maize stalk, and rice husk) were modified and applied to adsorb phosphate in waste water and then be reused in saline soil in this study. The co-modified method combining ball milling and metal coated treatment obtained the higher specific surface area (SSA) of ferrite/manganese modified-ball-milled biochars (Fe/Mn-BMBCs) (226.5-331.5 m2 g-1) than that of pristine biochars (14.02-30.35 m2 g-1) and ferrite/manganese modified biochar (Fe/Mn-BC) (223.7 m2 g-1), which could improve the pore structure of metal modified biochar. The phosphate adsorption capacity (qmax) of Fe/Mn-BMBCs with rich functional groups and high SSA were 44.0-53.8 mg g-1, which was 4.47-5.82 times higher than that of pristine biochars. Fe/Mn-BMBCs showed efficiently adsorption performance at low pH and high temperature. The application of BC to saline soil could promote the availability of P in saline soil. P-loaded biochars could afford P as a nutrient to promote the growth of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in saline soil. The lettuce fresh weight in Fe/Mn-BMBC-P2 treated soil was 8.21 times higher than that grew in control check (CK) treatment. As a P element provider, P-loaded biochars not only improve saline soil fertility and crop productivity, but also convert the agricultural wastes and P in eutrophicated waters to the sustainable resource.

Abstract
Transition metals and their oxide compounds exhibit excellent chemical reactivity; however, their easy agglomeration and high cost limit their catalysis applications. In this study, an interpolation structure of a Myriophyllum verticillatum L. biochar-supported Mn/Mg composite (Mn/Mg@MV) was prepared to degrade triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) from wastewater through the activating periodate (PI) process. Interestingly, the Mn/Mg@MV composite showed strong radical self-producing capacities. The Mn/Mg@MV system degraded 93.34% TPhP (pH 5, 10 μM) within 150 min. The experimental results confirmed that the predominant role of IO3· and the auxiliary ·OH jointly contributed to the TPhP degradation. In addition, the TPhP pollutants were degraded to various intermediates and subsequent Mg mineral phase mineralization via mechanisms like interfacial processes and radical oxidation. DFT theoretical calculations further indicated that the synergy between Mn and Mg induced the charge transfer of the carbon-based surface, leading to the formation of an ·OH radical-enriched surface and enhancing the multivariate interface process of ·OH, IO3, and Mn(VII) to TPhP degradation, resulting in the further formation of Mg PO4 mineralization.

Pyrolytic and hydrothermal carbonization affect the transformation of phosphorus fractions in the biochar and hydrochar derived from organic materials: A meta-analysis study.

[PMID: 37774876 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
Carbonized organic materials are widely used to achieve soil improvement and alleviate soil pollution. The carbonization process significantly changes the total phosphorus (P) content and the P form in the solid phase derived from organic materials, which in turn has a significant impact on the P fertilizer effect in soils. In the present study, a meta-analysis with 278 observational data was conducted to detect the impact of the carbonization process (including pyrolytic carbonization and hydrothermal carbonization) on the transformation of P fractions in biochar or hydrochar derived from different organic materials. The results showed that the carbonization process significantly increased the total P content of the solid phase by 67.9%, and that the rate of P recovery from raw materials stayed high with a mean value of 86.8%. Among them, the impact of sludge-derived char was smaller when compared to the manure-derived char and biomass-derived char. The increase of total P in the biochar (or hydrochar) produced at >500 °C (or >200 °C) was more notable than that at <500 °C (or <200 °C). Simultaneously, the carbonization process significantly decreased the proportion of available P pool in the solid phase by 51.7% on average and increased the proportion of stable P pool in the solid phase by 204%. Appropriate production temperature helps to adjust the proportion of stable P pool in the solid phase. This meta-analysis pointed out that the carbonized solid phase recovers most of the P in the feedstock and that it promotes a significant transformation of available P pool in the feedstock to stable P in the carbonized solid phase. These findings provide useful information for the rational use of carbonization technology, the development of corresponding field management strategies, and the potential value of carbonized solid phase utilization.

Abstract
Metal ions or metal (hydrogen) oxides are widely used as active sites in the construction of phosphate-adsorbing materials in water, but the removal of soluble organophosphorus from water remains technically difficult. Herein, synchronous organophosphorus oxidation and adsorption removal were achieved using electrochemically coupled metal-hydroxide nanomaterials. La-Ca/Fe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites prepared using the impregnation method removed both phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate, IHP) and hydroxy ethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) acid under an applied electric field. The solution properties and electrical parameters were optimized under the following conditions: organophosphorus solution pH = 7.0, organophosphorus concentration = 100 mg L-1, material dosage = 0.1 g, voltage = 15 V, and plate spacing = 0.3 cm. The electrochemically coupled LDH accelerates the removal of organophosphorus. The IHP and HEDP removal rates were 74.9% and 47%, respectively in only 20 min, 50% and 30% higher, respectively, than that of La-Ca/Fe-LDH alone. The removal rate in actual wastewater reached 98% in only 5 min. Meanwhile, the good magnetic properties of electrochemically coupled LDH allow easy separation. The LDH adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. It exhibits a stable structure under electric field conditions, and its adsorption mechanism mainly includes ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and ligand exchange. This new approach for enhancing the adsorption capacity of LDH has broad application prospects in organophosphorus removal from water.
