Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has been regarded as a significant public health hazard during the industrialization, which also have exhibited various types of toxicological manifestations. Moreover, due to the high cost and toxic by-products, some conventional remediation methods were limited to heavy metals pollution control. In this work, autoclaved Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a biosorbent for the removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from single and binary ions aqueous solution system. The kinetics and isotherm of Cd2+ and Pb2+ were studied in different ion systems. The results showed that the competitive adsorption ability of S. cerevisiae to Pb2+ was stronger than that to Cd2+ in binary ions solution. To all the single ion solution of Cd2+ or Pb2+ and binary ions solution of Cd2+-Pb2+, there always existed that the adsorption of metal ions on S. cerevisiae fitted well with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherms model. The adsorption quantity qt in different solutions followed the sequence as qt (Cd2+-Pb2+) > qt (Pb2+-single) > qt (Pb2+-binary) > qt (Cd2+-single) > qt (Cd2+-binary). The autoclaved S. cerevisiae used in this research was one kind of rapid and favourable biosorbent for Pb2+ and Cd2+. In Pb2+ and Cd2+-containing solutions, sites competition and jointed toxicity of Pb2+ and Cd2+ on S. cerevisiae cells were the key to the total adsorption effect, and further researches were necessary in the next work. Thus, the current research presented that the autoclaved S. cerevisiae could be applied as an effective biosorbent for heavy metal adsorption from water environment and the design of eco-friendly technologies for the treatment of waste liquor.

Low-cost biosorption of Fe(II) and Fe(III) from single and binary solutions using Ulva lactuca-derived cellulose nanocrystals-graphene oxide composite film. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6422. [PMID: 37076571 PMCID: PMC10115868 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-33386-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The marine algal biomass of Ulva lactuca was utilized for the extraction of cellulose and the development of cellulose nanocrystals/graphene oxide film. Cellulose nanocrystals with 50-150 nm were produced by H2SO4 hydrolysis of the algal cellulose. The adsorption efficiency of the nanocomposite film for Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions was successfully evaluated using Box-Behnken design. The maximum removal for Fe(II) (64.15%) could be attained at pH 5.13, adsorbent dosage 7.93 g L-1 and Fe(II) concentration 15.39 mg L-1, while the biosorption of Fe(III) was 69.92% at pH 5.0, adsorbent dosage 2 g L-1, and Fe(III) concentration 15.0 mg L-1. However, in the binary system, the removal efficiency of Fe(II) was enhanced to 95.48% at Fe(II):Fe(III) ratio of 1:1, while the Fe(III) removal was increased to 79.17% at ratio 1:2. The pseudo-second-order kinetics exhibited better fitting to the experimental results of Fe(II) and Fe(III) adsorption in both single and binary systems. The intra-particle diffusion was prominent during the biosorption, but the effect of the external mass transfer was significant. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms showed satisfactory fitting to the experimental data, but they differ in priority based on iron state and pH. The adsorption of Fe(II) in the presence of Fe(III) in a mixture was best represented by the extended Langmuir model, while the extended Langmuir-Freundlich model best fitted the adsorption of Fe(III). The FT-IR analysis indicated that physisorption through electrostatic interaction/complexation is the predominant mechanism for the adsorption of iron using the nanocomposite film.

Abstract
The main purpose of this investigation is to model the results related to biosorption using COMSOL (Multiphysics 4.3a), and to solve the advection-dispersion equation by using both linear and Langmuir models. A bidimensional model was then proposed to study the mass transfer in the process of copper ions sorption in a dynamic mode on cider vinegar residues. Sorption tests were realized by evaluating the influence of flow rate (0.75, 1, and 2.65 ml min-1 ), bed height (3.5, 7 and 8.5 cm), and copper initial concentration (169 and 300 mg L-1 ). For all cases, the mathematical formulation was solved by assuming that the column is homogeneous and the sorption is instantaneous. The corresponding results were exploited through breakthrough curve profiles, where it was shown that the solutions obtained by the "Langmuir COMSOL" model coincide with the experimental values. In contrast, the linear model has been unable to fit them. The optimal results were analyzed by Thomas, Adam-Bohart Yoon Nelson, and Ogata-Bank models, which proves that the Thomas method is well adapted with a satisfactory correlation coefficient (0.93). Further, the model validation was performed by determining the residual root mean square error, which was found less than 0.3, thereby indicating a reasonable concordance between the estimated and experimental points. The high sorption capacity obtained was around of 41.37 mg g-1 , which suggests that the cider vinegar residues can be exploited as a low-cost, available, and effective sorbent biomass in the field of the treatment of industrial effluents. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Cider vinegar residues (CVR) as low cost biosorbent were studied for continuous biosorption. A successful COMSOL model was proposed and validated. CVR is an effective biosorbent for copper fixed bed biosorption. High sorption capacity was around of 41.37 mg g-1 under optimal conditions.

This work describe a simple method to synthesize modified magnetic nanoparticles which have high ability to modify the customary formulation of antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and pursuant study of adsorption-desorption (release) of this drug. These synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by different methods, including field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and mapping, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating-sample magnetometry, thermogravimetric analysis and zeta potential test. Present assay showed a well correlation with the introduced carrier for the drug. Also the hypothesis were proved by some adsorption isotherm models and drug kinetics studies of carriers with different drug release kinetics models. This study confirmed the adsorption isotherm models and kinetics of drug sorbate are Temkin and Pseudo-First-Order Lagergren models, respectively; the kinetics of drug release from this carrier is based on Zero-Order model. The values of MIC in antibacterial test for pure SMX and SMX conjugated nanoparticles against Escherichia coli were calculated to be 14 and 2.5 μg/mL, respectively, and these values against Staphylococcus aureus were 24 and 1.25 μg/mL, respectively.

The Biosorption of Copper(II) Using a Natural Biofilm Formed on the Stones from the Metro River, Malang City, Indonesia. Int J Microbiol 2022; 2022:9975333. [PMID: 36204461 PMCID: PMC9532089 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9975333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Biofilm is the predominant habitat of microbes in aquatic ecosystems. Microhabitat inside the biofilm matrix is a nutrient-rich environment promoted by the adsorption of nutrient ions from the surrounding water. Biofilms can not only adsorb ions that are nutrients but also other ions, such as heavy metals. The ability of biofilm to attract and retain heavy metals, such as copper(II), makes biofilms a promising biosorbent for water pollution treatment. The present study analyzes the characteristics of copper(II) adsorption by biofilms naturally formed in the river. The biofilms used in this study grow naturally on the stones in the Metro River in Malang City, Indonesia. Methods to analyze the adsorption characteristics of copper(II) by biofilms were kinetics of the adsorption and adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption amount and the adsorption equilibrium constant were calculated using a variant of the Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the presence of the functional groups as suggested binding sites in biofilm polymers was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The results indicate that copper(II)’s adsorption to the biofilm is a physicochemical process. The adsorption of copper(II) is fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting that the adsorption of copper(II) to a biofilm is due to the interaction between the adsorption sites on the biofilm and the ions. The biofilm’s maximum absorption capacity for copper(II) is calculated to be 2.14 mg/wet-g of biofilm, with the equilibrium rate constant at 0.05 L/mg. Therefore, the biofilms on the stones from river can be a promising biosorbent of copper(II) pollution in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
In this study, Rosa damascena leaf powder was evaluated as a biosorbent for the removal of copper from aqueous solutions. Process variables such as the biosorbent dose, pH, and initial copper concentration were optimized using response surface methodology. A quadratic model was established to relate the factors to the response based on the Box-Behnken design. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the experimental data, and multiple regression analysis was used to fit it to a second-order polynomial equation. A biosorbent dose of 4.0 g/L, pH of 5.5, and initial copper concentration of 55 mg/L were determined to be the best conditions for copper removal. The removal of Cu2+ ions was 88.7% under these optimal conditions, indicating that the experimental data and model predictions were in good agreement. The biosorption data were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models. The combination of film and intra-particle diffusion was found to influence Cu2+ biosorption. The Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models best fit the experimental data, showing a monolayer isotherm with a qmax value of 25.13 mg/g obtained under optimal conditions. The thermodynamic parameters showed the spontaneity, feasibility and endothermic nature of adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the biosorbent before and after Cu2+ biosorption, revealing its outstanding structural characteristics and high surface functional group availability. In addition, immobilized R. damascena leaves adsorbed 90.7% of the copper from aqueous solution, which is more than the amount adsorbed by the free biosorbent (85.3%). The main mechanism of interaction between R. damascena biomass and Cu2+ ions is controlled by both ion exchange and hydrogen bond formation. It can be concluded that R. damascena can be employed as a low-cost biosorbent to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Methyl violet 2B dye is a major contaminant that is detrimental to both humans and aquatic microorganisms, thus it should be eliminated from water. In the current investigation, the biosorption of methyl violet 2B dye onto the brown seaweed Cystoseira tamariscifolia biomass as a sustainable low-cost biosorbent was examined by varying biosorption parameters. Biomass dosage of 7 g/L, pH 6, a temperature of 45 °C, a 60 min contact time, and a 30 mg/L initial dye concentration were determined to be the optimum biosorption conditions. Data obtained were interpreted by thermodynamic, isothermal, and kinetic models. The thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the process of dye biosorption was random and endothermic. The data were best described by Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich, and Temkin models. According to the Langmuir equation, the maximal biosorption capacity (qmax) was 10.0 mg/g. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order mechanism is dominant, and chemical biosorption might represent the rate-controlling stage in the biosorption process. However, intraparticle diffusion revealed a boundary layer effect. A scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, the point of zero charge, and Fourier Transform Infra-Red were applied to characterize the algal biomass, exhibiting its remarkable structural properties and the availability of several functional groups. Additionally, ion exchange, electrostatic force, and hydrogen bonding formation are all proposed as biosorption mechanisms. As a result, C. tamariscifolia was evaluated to be a sustainable biosorbent for dye biosorption from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of Spirulina platensis for removing Zn2+ ions from the aqueous solutions. The optimized conditions of 4.48 g/L algal dose, pH of 6.62 and initial zinc concentration of 29.72 mg/L obtained by response surface methodology were employed for Zn2+ biosorption by S. platensis and up to 97.90% Zn2+ was removed, showing that there is a favorable harmony between the experimental data and model predictions. Different kinetic and equilibrium models were used to characterize the biosorption manner of Spirulina as a biosorbent. The kinetic manner of Zn2+ biosorption was well characterized by the pseudo-second-order, implying that the adsorption process is chemical in nature. The Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models were best fit to the equilibrium data. The maximum adsorption capacity of the Langmuir monolayer was 50.7 mg/g. Furthermore, the thermodynamic analysis revealed that Zn2+ biosorption was endothermic, spontaneous and feasible. As a result of biosorption process, FTIR, SEM, and EDX investigations indicated noticeable alterations in the algal biomass's properties. Therefore, the dried Spirulina biomass has been shown to be cost-effective and efficient for removing the heavy metals, particularly zinc ions from wastewater, and the method is practicable, and environmentally acceptable.

Abstract
Simple Summary Earth is currently facing the effects of climate change in all environmental ecosystems; this, together with pollution, is the cause of species extinction and biodiversity loss. Thus, it is vital to take actions to mitigate and decrease the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The emergence of energetic transition from fossil fuels to greener energies is clearly defined in the United Nations 2030 agenda. Although this transition endorses the ambitious goal to supply greener energy for all developed societies, the increased demand for the minerals essential to develop cleaner energetic technologies has highlighted several economic and environmental issues. Currently, these minerals are mainly obtained by mining activities that generate high levels of soil and water pollution, coupled with the intensive use of water and hazardous gas release. On the other hand, the exponential increase of electronic waste derived from end-of-life electronic equipment is already raising environmental concerns due to heavy metal contamination as a result of their disposal. Thus, it is vital to develop sustainable and efficient strategies to mitigate energetic transition environmental footprints. This review highlights the use of seaweed biomass for toxic mineral bioremediation, recycling, and as an alternative material for greener energy-storage device development. Abstract Resulting from the growing human population and the long dependency on fossil-based energies, the planet is facing a critical rise in global temperature, which is affecting all ecosystem networks. With a growing consciousness this issue, the EU has defined several strategies towards environment sustainability, where biodiversity restoration and preservation, pollution reduction, circular economy, and energetic transition are paramount issues. To achieve the ambitious goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050, it is vital to mitigate the environmental footprint of the energetic transition, namely heavy metal pollution resulting from mining and processing of raw materials and from electronic waste disposal. Additionally, it is vital to find alternative materials to enhance the efficiency of energy storage devices. This review addresses the environmental challenges associated with energetic transition, with particular emphasis on the emergence of new alternative materials for the development of cleaner energy technologies and on the environmental impacts of mitigation strategies. We compile the most recent advances on natural sources, particularly seaweed, with regard to their use in metal recycling, bioremediation, and as valuable biomass to produce biochar for electrochemical applications.

A comprehensive review on sources, analysis and toxicity of environmental pollutants and its removal methods from water environment. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 812:152456. [PMID: 34952073 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.152456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Natural and human anthropogenic activities increase the concentration of the toxic pollutant in the water environment; they could cause harmful effects even in their lower concentration. In humans, toxic pollutants damage the structural and functional properties of essential organs including the heart, liver, kidneys, reproductive systems and pancreas. To avoid the toxicity of the pollutant, they should be removed from the water environment. Since various conventional water/wastewater treatment technologies including precipitation, ion exchange, flocculation, filtration, electrodialysis and membrane separation are employed to reduce the concentration of the pollutant, they have various difficulties in implementation, efficiency and ecological perspective. Therefore, several researchers are now focusing on alternative and eco-friendly approach called biosorption to remove toxic contaminants from the water environment. The biosorption innovation is one of the acclaimed systems for water treatment. The noteworthy endeavours have been made throughout the years to grow profoundly particular and effective biosorbent materials that are more effective, abundantly available, and cost-effective. Biosorption is effectively executed by utilizing both living and dead biomasses of bacteria, fungi and algae. Moreover, agro-waste materials are also utilized as biosorbents due to their excellent surface properties, abundant availability and cost-effectiveness. A variety of physical and chemical treatments enhances the biosorption capabilities of biosorbents via modifying their surface properties. In this review, biosorption mechanism, influencing parameters and application of biosorbent materials towards the removal of toxic pollutants are discussed. The future research opportunities for sustainable wastewater treatment were also explained.

Process optimization and modeling of Cd 2+ biosorption onto the free and immobilized Turbinaria ornata using Box-Behnken experimental design. Sci Rep 2022; 12:3256.

Abstract
The release of effluents containing cadmium ions into aquatic ecosystems is hazardous to humans and marine organisms. In the current investigation, biosorption of Cd2+ ions from aqueous solutions by freely suspended and immobilized Turbinaria ornata biomasses was studied. Compared to free cells (94.34%), the maximum Cd2+ removal efficiency reached 98.65% for immobilized cells obtained via Box–Behnken design under optimized conditions comprising algal doses of 5.04 g L−1 and 4.96 g L−1, pH values of 5.06 and 6.84, and initial cadmium concentrations of 25.2 mg L−1 and 26.19 mg L−1, respectively. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were suitably applied, providing the best suit of data for free and immobilized cells, but the Dubinin–Radushkevich model only matched the immobilized algal biomass. The maximum biosorption capacity of Cd2+ ions increased with the immobilized cells (29.6 mg g−1) compared to free cells (23.9 mg g−1). The Cd2+ biosorption data obtained for both biomasses followed pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models. In addition, the biosorption process is controlled by film diffusion followed by intra-particle diffusion. Cd2+ biosorption onto the free and immobilized biomasses was spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic in nature, according to the determined thermodynamic parameters. The algal biomass was further examined via SEM/EDX and FTIR before and after Cd2+ biosorption. SEM/EDX analysis revealed Cd2+ ion binding onto the algal surface. Additionally, FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of numerous functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, amine, phosphate, etc.) participating in Cd2+ biosorption. This study verified that immobilized algal biomasses constitute a cost-effective and favorable biosorbent material for heavy metal removal from ecosystems.

Innovative method for encapsulating highly pigmented biomass from Aspergillus nidulans mutant for copper ions removal and recovery. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0259315.

Abstract
Biosorption has been considered a promising technology for the treatment of industrial effluents containing heavy metals. However, the development of a cost-effective technique for biomass immobilization is essential for successful application of biosorption in industrial processes. In this study, a new method of reversible encapsulation of the highly pigmented biomass from Aspergillus nidulans mutant using semipermeable cellulose membrane was developed and the efficiency of the encapsulated biosorbent in the removal and recovery of copper ions was evaluated. Data analysis showed that the pseudo-second-order model better described copper adsorption by encapsulated biosorbent and a good correlation (r2 > 0.96) to the Langmuir isotherm was obtained. The maximum biosorption capacities for the encapsulated biosorbents were higher (333.5 and 116.1 mg g-1 for EB10 and EB30, respectively) than that for free biomass (92.0 mg g-1). SEM-EDXS and FT-IR analysis revealed that several functional groups on fungal biomass were involved in copper adsorption through ion-exchange mechanism. Sorption/desorption experiments showed that the metal recovery efficiency by encapsulated biosorbent remained constant at approximately 70% during five biosorption/desorption cycles. Therefore, this study demonstrated that the new encapsulation method of the fungal biomass using a semipermeable cellulose membrane is efficient for heavy metal ion removal and recovery from aqueous solutions in multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. In addition, this reversible encapsulation method has great potential for application in the treatment of heavy metal contaminated industrial effluents due to its low cost, the possibility of recovering adsorbed ions and the reuse of biosorbent in consecutive biosorption/desorption cycles with high efficiency of metal removal and recovery.

Abstract
Macroalgal biosorption has shown promise for the removal of metal ions from wastewaters, whose presence can pose a threat to the aquatic environment. There is a wealth of literature published on macroalgal biosorption, the common thread being that the biosorbent material was collected from the field, under undefined conditions. These studies offer little insight into the impact of prior cultivation or biomass production practices upon the biosorbent material, its adsorptive physico-chemical properties and its subsequent capacity for metal removal. The present study sought to investigate the influence of changes in macroalgal cultivation, specifically nutrient regime, upon biomass properties and the resultant adsorption performance. The macroalga Cladophora parriaudii was cultivated under six different nutrient regimes; 2:1 and 12:1 N:P molar ratios, with nitrogen supplied either as ammonium (NH4+), nitrate (NO3-), or urea (CO(NH2)2). These nutrient regimes were designed to produce biomass of varying biochemical and cell surface profiles. After cultivation, the biomass was rinsed, dried, biochemically analysed and then used for the removal of four individual metals from solution. Metal removal varied considerably between treatments and across initial metal concentrations, with removal values of 46-85%, 9-80%, 8-71%, and 49-94% achieved for Al, Cu, Mn, and Pb, respectively, with initial metal concentrations varying between 0 and 150 mg L-1. The observed variation in metal removal can only be attributed to differences in biochemistry and cell surface properties of the biosorbent induced by nutrient regime, as all other variables were constant. This study demonstrates that prior cultivation conditions influence the biochemistry of a biosorbent material, namely macroalgae Cladophora parriaudii, which has an impact upon metal removal. This aspect should be given due consideration for future biosorption research and when reviewing already published literature.

Modeling analysis on the effective elimination of toxic pollutant from aquatic environment using pyrolysis assisted palmyra palm male inflorescence. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 197:111146. [PMID: 33865816 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study adsorption of Cd(II) ions using the pyrolysis assisted Palmyra palm male inflorescence (PAPMI) was systematically examined. A batch adsorption study was carried out to determine the type of interactions and removal efficiency which is based on the surface property of PAPMI. The diverse parameters which affect the adsorption performance of PAPMI for Cd(II) ion removal were optimized: biosorbent dose - 1.25 g/L, pH - 6.0, temperature - 303 K, initial cadmium ions concentration - 50 mg/L and contact time - 40 min. Pseudo-first order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models were more suitable to describe the adsorption kinetics and isotherm, respectively. Therefore, modeling studies portrayed the present Cd(II) ions adsorption on PAPMI as monolayer adsorption occurs on the homogeneous surface and follows the physisorption mechanism. The maximum adsorption capacity of the synthesized PAPMI was examined as 233.2 mg/g from the equilibrium isotherm investigation. Based on the calculated thermodynamic parameters (ΔGo, ΔHo and ΔSo) values, the present Cd(II) ions adsorption on PAPMI was explicated as feasible, and exothermic. The outcome proposed that Palmyra palm male inflorescence can be a suitable adsorbent for expulsion of Cd(II) ions from aqueous environment. In the interim, the utilization of pyrolysis assisted is a viable and fast uptake innovation for the removal of heavy metals from water environment.
