Abstract
Graphene has attracted significant attention recently due to its unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties. The present study focuses on synthesizing green rGO using the Tinospora cordifolia plant extract by mixing it in a suspension of graphene oxide. The plant extract of T. cordifolia acts as a reducing agent and is cost-effective, renewable, and eco-friendly. Green-synthesized rGO (G-rGO) was characterized using FTIR, HR-SEM, EDX, and HR-XRD analyses. G-rGO consists of nanosheets with an average width of approximately 30 nm. G-rGO has a range of hydrodynamic radius (270-470) nm and an average ζ potential of -29.9 mV. Further, G-rGO was used as a nanoadsorbent for optimal exclusion of methylene blue (MB) dye using the response surface methodology (RSM). Adsorption results confirmed 94.85% MB dye removal with 58.81 mg g-1 adsorption capacity at optimum conditions. The G-rGO's antibacterial activity was also tested against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) bacteria, finding the exhibited zone of inhibition of 10, 11, and 15 mm and 10, 13, and 17 mm at 20, 40, and 80 μg mL-1 concentrations of G-rGO, respectively.

Abstract
The interaction of methylene blue (MB) dye with natural coal (collected from coal landfills of the Kosovo Energy Corporation) in aqueous solutions was studied using adsorption, kinetics, and thermodynamic data, and Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. In a batch procedure, the effects of contact duration, initial MB concentration, pH, and solution temperature on the adsorption process were examined. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms were used to examine the equilibrium adsorption data. The equilibrium data fit well to the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models; however, the Freundlich model suited the adsorption data to a slightly better extent than the Langmuir model. The kinetics experimental data was fitted using pseudo-first-order, first-order, pseudo-second-order, second-order, Elvoich equation, and diffusion models. The pseudo-second-order rate model manifested a superlative fit to the experimental data, while the adsorption of MB onto coal is regulated by both liquid film and intraparticle diffusions at the same time. Thermodynamic parameters, such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), enthalpy (ΔH0), and entropy (ΔS0) were calculated. The adsorption of MB was confirmed to be spontaneous and endothermic. The theoretical results were in agreement with the experimental ones.

Abstract
Hydrogels are considered as practical and proficient materials in adsorption and removal of soluble lethal molecules from aqueous system. They are also rapid-decomposable and economical materials besides their diverse preventive claims. In current study, Cinnamaldehyde (C), a natural defensive compound and Chitosan (Ch), natural occurring bio-macromolecule are considered to develop bio-inspired hydrogel (ChC). The structural and surface characteristics of ChC (13C solid state NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and SEM) are investigated to confirm the successful grafting. The origami of gelation in ChC performs an excellent adsorption activity towards food dyes, Carmoisine (CA) and Tartrazine (TA), which are contaminated by the accumulation during excess release from catering and chemical industries in aqueous system. The adsorption performance is thoroughly screened by varying the pH, ChC dosage, dye concentration, contact time and temperature in aqueous system. Thermodynamic and Kinetics study suggest the natural tendency of adsorption with a good reusability up to 3 cycles. The main mechanism for spontaneous adsorption is initiated by capturing of TA/CA in porous surface followed by the ionic interactions and formation of H-bondings. ChC based adsorption is an excellent and potential approach to control the toxicants for the water-pollution and water-preservation.

Abstract
Adsorption is considered to be one of the most effective and economically viable technologies for removing contaminants from the environment. However, the disadvantages of its high-cost complicated process and difficulty in efficient recycling limit its practical application. Herein, a thermoplastic elastomer-polyvinyl alcohol composite (LAY-FOMM 60) sponge three-dimensional structure (3D printing sponge) was fabricated by the fused filament fabrication combined with water erosion technique. The size and shape of the resultant sponge were tailored, and the batch of adsorption/desorption experiments of Rhodamine B (RhB) onto the sponge was performed. The results show that the adsorption of RhB on the 3D printing sponge was mainly via physical adsorption, and pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models exhibited good correlation with the adsorption kinetic and isotherm data, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters suggest that the adsorption is an endothermic and spontaneous process. It is worth to note that the adsorption/desorption efficiency can be raised by compression. This results in high efficiency and low cost for adsorption/desorption process and benefit for regeneration of the adsorbent. The adsorption capacity was maintained over 85% of the initial capacity after being used for five cycles. The approach provides a simple strategy for manufacturing customizable porous adsorbent materials that meet various water treatment requirements.

Abstract
A new strategy for the wastewater treatment was proposed by combining polyvinylpyrrolidone-functionalized silver nanoparticles with reduced graphene oxide (AgNPs-PVP@rGO) as a visible light-triggered photoactive nanocomposite. The nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic degradation and photothermal antibacterial activity can simultaneously decrease the content of organic pollutants and bacteria in the wastewater under visible light irradiation. The efficiency of photocatalytic degradation can be significantly improved by the conjugation of AgNPs onto the rGO surface. The water solubility and dispersion of nanocomposite can be increased via PVP functionalization, without stirring during the photocatalytic process. Under the optimal synthesis condition, AgNPs-PVP@rGO has a photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 90.1% for rhodamine B, which is 6.9 and 1.8 times higher than that of polyvinylpyrrolidone-functionalized silver nanoparticles and rGO alone, respectively. More importantly, the degradation efficiency of optimal AgNPs-PVP@rGO sol on rhodamine B is significantly higher than that of its block suspension in the same amount, indicating that the sol with more specific surface area is conducive to the photocatalytic reaction. Meanwhile, the AgNPs-PVP@rGO with excellent photothermal activity can effectively inhibit the bacterial growth. This functional modification of graphene provides a new strategy for simultaneous treatment of multiple pollutants in wastewater. The AgNPs-PVP@rGO nanocomposites for simultaneous enhanced photocatalytic degradation and photothermal antibacterial activity by visible light.

Abstract
Rice is the second most extensively consumed food ingredient, and its by-products in the paddy field include rice husk and straw. Rice husk ash, resulting from rice husk burning, is considered an environment menace, inducing negative effects on the area in which it is disposed of. In this study, rice husk was applied as a silicate source to obtain mesoporous silica material. Characterization techniques confirmed the well-ordered mesophase and resemblance of mesoporous silica resulting from rice husk ash with one obtained from conventional silica sources. The mesoporous silica material was further used as catalyst support. The resulting catalysts were used for rhodamine 110 oxidation, proving high potential for oxidizing hazardous organic compounds, such as dyes from water, resulting in environmentally harmless products.

Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG #6) of the United Nations (UN) is hinged on the provision, availability, and sustainability of water for the global populace by 2030. In a bid to achieve this goal, the quest to seek for ubiquitous and low-cost adsorbents to treat effluents laden with industrial dyes, such as methylene blue (MB), is on the increase in recent years. Acute exposure of humans to (MB) dye causes cyanosis, necrosis, and jaundice and even leads to death. In this research, zinc-modified hybrid clay composite adsorbent (materials from kaolinite and biomass (crushed Carica papaya seeds and/or plantain peel)) was developed via microwave route. This adsorbent was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). These characterization techniques confirmed the success achieved in doping hybrid clay with Zn. These adsorbents were used to sequester cationic dye (MB) from aqueous solutions and textile effluent under various experimental conditions. The adsorption and desorption data obtained were analyzed using various kinetic models, which are two-step kinetics, pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, fractal kinetics, first-order desorption, second-order desorption, and modified statistical rate theory (MSRT) desorption models. Results showed that the adsorption of the dye occurred via several chemical interactions, while the latter models (for desorption) indicated that desorption occurred in two different desorption sites on the adsorbent surfaces, which showed that the adsorption of MB dye onto the adsorbents was stable without the emergence of any secondary pollution. Adsorption of MB was achieved within 15 min for aqueous solutions and 900 min for textile effluent, which is an improvement on previous results from other studies. The three adsorption-desorption cycles for MB uptake by the adsorbents showed that it is pragmatically applicable to treat textile effluents. Hence, low-cost composite adsorbents have a potential for the effective remediation of MB dye from textile effluents as this study confirmed.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) was modified by MgO and MnO2 through an impregnation-precipitation-calcination procedure. The batch experiments of adsorption of Rhodamine B (RB) by a modified adsorption material, an MgO-MnO2-AC composite, were carried out and the characteristics of the composite adsorbent were evaluated. The results showed that manganese/magnesium loading changed the surface area, pore volume and increased the number of active adsorption sites of AC. The highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area (1,036.18 m2·g-1) was obtained for MgO-MnO2-AC compared with AC. The content of AC loaded with magnesium and manganese was 34.24 and 5.51 mg·g-1 respectively. The adsorption of RB on MgO-MnO2-AC was significantly improved. The maximum adsorption capacity of RB on MgO-MnO2-AC was 16.19 mg·g-1 at 25 °C under the RB concentration of 50 mg·L-1. The adsorption of RB by AC and MgO-MnO2-AC increased with the initial concentration of RB. The adsorption of RB increased first and then decreased when pH was between 3 and 11. The results indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir equation can be used to describe the adsorption of RB on MgO-MnO2-AC.

Abstract
In terms of health, dyes have carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic properties and can have adverse effects on health and the environment. Therefore, sewage containing to dyes must be purified before being discharged into the environment. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Alcea rosea root extract in Disperse red 60 and Reactive blue 19 dyes removal from synthetic sewage. In this study, the effect of different indices including pH (5–11), Alcea rosea concentration (50–300 mg/L) and initial dye concentration (10–80 mg/L) was investigated. During the tests, the coagulant was stirred with rapid mixing at a speed of 250 rpm for 2 min. In the following, the speed (30–60 rpm) and the time (10–25 min) were used for slow mixing and after mixing the effect of settling time (10–60 min) and temperature (20–70) on removal efficiency of Disperse and Reactive dyes was investigated. The results showed that the maximum of removal efficiency of Disperse and Reactive dyes in optimum conditions including (pH = 11, coagulant concentration = 200 and 250 mg/L, dye concentration 40 and 20 mg/L, speed 60 rpm, during 15 min with settling time 60 min and temperature 60 °C obtained 86% and 68%, respectively. According to the result, the Alcea rosea coagulant has the best ability in removing dyes from aqueous solutions and sewage, especially Disperse dyes. Disperse dye is much eliminated in the coagulation process due to its lower solubility, higher suspending materials and less required solved chemical oxygen demand to the total chemical oxygen demand (SCOD/TCOD).

Abstract
The reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Fe3O4 nanocomposites were synthesized through a facile one-pot green synthesis by using solanum trilobatum extract as a reducing agent. Spherical shaped Fe3O4 nanoparticles with the diameter of 18 nm were uniformly anchored over the RGO matrix and the existence of fcc structured Fe3O4 nanoparticles over the RGO matrix was ensured from X-ray diffraction patterns. The amide functional groups exist in the solanum trilobatum extract is directly responsible for the reduction of Fe(3+) ions and GO. The thermal stability of GO was increased by the removal of hydrophilic functional groups via solanum trilobatum extract and was further promoted by the ceramic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The ID/IG ratio of RGO/Fe3O4 was increased over GO, indicating the extended number of structural defects and disorders in the RGO/Fe3O4 composite. The catalytic efficiency of prepared nanostructures toward methylene blue (MB) dye degradation mediated through the electron transfer process of BH4(-) ions was studied in detail. The π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction exerted between the RGO/Fe3O4 composite and methylene blue, increased the adsorption efficiency of dye molecules and the large surface area and extended number of active sites completely degraded the MB dye within 12 min.

Abstract
Baker's yeast biomass was pretreated by ethanol and caustic soda, and then the pristine baker's yeast, ethanol pretreated baker's yeast (ethanol-baker's yeast) and caustic soda pretreated baker's yeast (caustic-baker's yeast) were utilized as biosorbents to adsorb Cu(2+) in aqueous solution. The influence of different parameters on Cu(2+) uptake by the three biomasses, such as initial Cu(2+) concentration, initial pH of solution, contact time and temperature, was studied. The mechanism of Cu(2+) binding by biomass was investigated by a number of techniques. Evidence from potentiometric titration revealed that the concentration of carboxyl and amino groups is higher on the caustic and ethanol-baker's yeast compared to the pristine baker's yeast and FTIR spectra confirmed carboxyl, and amino groups on the surface of baker's yeast could be available for characteristic coordination bonding with Cu(2+). In addition, SEM and Zeta potential of the three samples show that caustic and ethanol-pretreatment resulted in the change of baker's yeast surface structure and charge which is relative to adsorption. These results demonstrate that the increase of biosorption capacity for Cu(2+) by ethanol and caustic-baker's yeast was attributed to the increase and exposure of carboxyl and amino groups on the surface of biomass sample.

Abstract
In this study, waste beer yeast powder was modified by pyromellitic dianhydride to improve its adsorption capacities for cationic dye: methylene blue (MB). According to the Langmuir equation, the maximum uptake capacities (q(m)) of the modified biomass for MB was 830.8 mg g(-1), which was about five times than that obtained on the unmodified biomass. Adsorption mechanism was investigated by FTIR. Desorption kinetics of methylene blue in six solvents: HCl (0.1 mol L(-1)), ethanol, mixtures of HCl (0.1 mol L(-1)) and ethanol with different volume ratio and a self-clean eluent: acid TiO(2) were studied in details. Results showed that desorption kinetics curve fit the two-step kinetic model, and methylene blue release process was distinctly divided into two steps: rapid and slow desorption steps. 52.2% of the methylene blue could be desorbed into TiO(2) hydrosol after 30 h desorption at the first desorption cycle, and the desorbed dye in TiO(2) hydrosol could be degrade completely under sunlight irradiation. After three desorption-photodegradation cycles, 80.0% of the absorbed dyes could be desorbed from the surface of the modified biomass. Although there was much work to do, the self-clean eluent: TiO(2) hydrosol had great potential in practical use.

Abstract
Trinitroglycerin (TNG), a nitrate ester, is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain) and by the military for the manufacturing of dynamite and propellants. Currently, TNG is considered as a key environmental contaminant due to the discharge of wastewater tainted with the chemical from various military and pharmaceutical industries. The present study describes the use of a nanostructured silica material (Mobil Composite Material no. 48 [MCM-48]) prepared by mixing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to remove TNG from water. The sorption of TNG onto MCM-48 rapidly reached equilibrium within 1 h. Sorption kinetics were best described using a pseudo-second order model, whereas sorption isotherms were best interpreted using the Langmuir model. The latter gave a maximum sorption capacity of 55.2 mg g(-1) at 40 degrees C. The enthalpy and entropy of TNG sorption onto MCM-48 were 1.89 kJ mol(-1) and 79.0 J mol(-1).K(-1), indicating the endothermic nature of the TNG sorption onto MCM-48. When MCM-48 was heated at 540 degrees C for 5 h, the resulting calcined material (absence of the surfactant) did not sorb TNG, suggesting that the surfactant component of the nanomaterial was responsible for TNG sorption. Finally, we found that MCM-48 lost approximately 30% of its original sorption capacity after five sorption-desorption cycles. In conclusion, the nanostructured silica based sorbent, with high sorption capacity and remarkable reusability, should constitute the basis for the development of an effective technology for the removal of TNG from contaminated water.
