[PMID: 39247315 PMCID: PMC11379550 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e36160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Water pollution is one of the major concerns due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Wastewater treatment has been an area of great interest for the researchers and among many technologies developed for water treatment, adsorption is the most preferred due to its efficiency and ability of been economical method. In this research, eggshell powder (ESP) is converted into modified eggshell powder (MESP) through chemical and thermal treatment (at 550 °C for 2 h) to use it as an adsorbent to remediate Pb2+ and Methylene blue (MB) from water, then it is transferred into modified eggshell powder magnetic composite (MESPMC) with iron coating to resolve the separation challenges and to boost the MESP's adsorption efficiency. FTIR analysis identified the functional groups of ESP, MESP, and MESPMC. XRD analysis reveals a hexagonal crystal structure of calcite in MESP and a combination of the hexagonal crystal structure of calcite and the cubic crystal structure of iron in MESPMC. The Scherrer equation is used to determine the average crystallite sizes of MESP and MESPMC, which are 22.59 nm and 12.15 nm, respectively. The SEM image shows the irregular shape of the MESP and MESPMC particles, as well as the active coating layer in MESPMC. EDX analysis reveals that Ca (20.92 %), O (56.83 %), and Fe (41.03 %), O (48.83 %) are the most abundant elements in MESP and MESPMC respectively. TGA analysis points out that MESPMC outperforms MESP in terms of thermal stability between 600 and 750 °C. MESP and MESPMC were found to be very efficient adsorbent for lead and methylene blue in aqueous medium. At 40 mg/mL adsorbent dosage, ESP, MESP, and MESPMC had the highest yields of Pb2+ removal, with 46.996 %, 99.27 %, and 99.78 % respectively at 200 rpm for 60 min with 25 °C. Furthermore, at the 0.5 mg/mL adsorbent dosage, ESP, MESP, and MESPMC have the maximum removal efficiency of methylene blue, with 47.19 %, 90.1 %, and 92 %, respectively at 200 rpm for 30 min with 25 °C. In both cases, the removal efficiency of MESPMC is slightly higher than that of MESP and much higher than that of ESP. Additionally, the results confirm that MESP and MESPMC are potential environment-friendly bio sources to remediate heavy metal (Pb2+) and methylene blue dye from water.

Abstract
Biosynthesized nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon-based materials, exhibit exceptional tunability and multifunctionality, surpassing the capabilities of conventional materials in these aspects. Developing practical solutions is critical to address environmental toxins from pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, pesticides, and dyes. Biomass waste is a readily available carbon source, which emerges as a promising material for producing biochar due to its inherent advantages: abundance, low cost, and environmentally friendly nature. This distribution mainly uses carbon-based materials (CBMs) and biomass waste in wastewater treatment. This review paper investigates several CBM types, including carbon aerogels, nanotubes, graphene, and activated carbon. The development of bio-derived carbon-based nanomaterials are discussed, along with the properties and composition of carbon materials derived from biomass waste and various cycles, such as photodegradation, adsorption, and high-level oxidation processes for natural remediation. In conclusion, this review examines the challenges associated with biochar utilization, including cost, recovery, and practical implementation.

Abstract
High concentration of aluminum (Al) in drinking water is a major intake source of it and can result in serious diseases. Rice straw (RS) as lignocellulosic biomasses has great potential to peak up metal ions from aqueous environment, however, feasibility of Al3+ removal by RS has not been investigated yet. The present study aimed to evaluate the capacity of RS as a novel biosorbent for Al3+ from drinking water. Biosorption characteristics of RS were surveyed through several biological and physiochemical techniques. Additionally, isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic studies were evaluated using various common models. BET profiles revealed the presence of textural mesoporosity on heterogeneous surface, which leading to improve the biosorption capacity. SEM-EDS analysis confirmed the morphological changes as irregularly particles of Al3+ on external surface via physical mechanism. The results of bioassays and FTIR analysis showed carboxylic and hydroxyl groups in lignin and pectin as the main Al3+ binding site. The batch experimental results showed the maximum biosorption capacity of 283.09 mg/g and removal efficiency of 94.86% for Al3+ at biosorbent dosage of 0.05 g/100 mL, contact time of 50 min, pH 7.5, and temperature of 30 °C. The Freundlich model has the best match and suggests the biosorption process as a multi-layer. According to the results of free activation energy, biosorption process was also physical. As thermodynamic result, the biosorption behavior was found spontaneous and endothermic. Consequently, results showed RS as an economical biosorbent for reducing Al3+ of drinking water. Meanwhile, it can be considered as one of the most appropriate methods for management of rice paddies waste.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 919:171000.

Abstract
The exponential growth in textile fiber production and commensurate release of textile waste-based effluents into the environment has significant impacts on human wellbeing and the long-term planetary health. To abate these negative impacts and promote resource circularity, efforts are being made to recycle these waste materials via conversion into adsorbents for water decontamination. This review critically examines plant- and regenerated cellulose-based fibers for removing water pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceutical and petrochemical wastes. The review reveals that chemical modification reactions such as grafting, sulfonation, carboxymethylation, amination, amidoximation, xanthation, carbon activation, and surface coating are normally employed, and the adsorption mechanisms often involve Van der Waals attraction, electrostatic interaction, complexation, chelation, ion exchange, and precipitation. Furthermore, the adsorption processes and thus the adsorption mechanisms are influenced by factors such as surface properties of adsorbents, pollutant characteristics including composition, porosity/pore size distribution, specific surface area, hydrophobicity/hydrophobicity, and molecular interactions. Besides, feasibility of the approaches in terms of handling and reuse, environmental fate, and economic impact was evaluated, in addition to the performances of the adsorbents, the prospects, and challenges. As current cost analysis is non-exhaustive, it is recommended that researchers focus on extensive cost analysis to fully appreciate the true cost effectiveness of employing these waste materials. In addition, more attention must be paid to potential chemical leaching, post-adsorption handling, and disposal. Based on the review, fiber precursors and textile fiber wastes are viable alternative adsorbents for sustainable water treatment and environmental management, and government entities must leverage on these locally accessible materials to promote recyclability and circularity.

Abstract
For environmental sustainability and to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), drinking water treatment must be done at a reasonable cost with minimal environmental impact. Therefore, treating contaminated drinking water requires materials and approaches that are inexpensive, produced locally, and effortlessly. Hence, locally available materials and their derivatives, such as biochar (BC) and activated carbon (AC) were investigated thoroughly. Several researchers and their findings show that the application of locally accessible materials and their derivatives are capable of the adsorptive removal of organic and inorganic contaminants from drinking water. The application of locally available materials such as lignocellulosic materials/waste and its thermo-chemically derived products, including BC and AC were found effective in the treatment of contaminated drinking water. Thus, this review aims to thoroughly examine the latest developments in the use of locally accessible feedstocks for tailoring BC and AC, as well as their features and applications in the treatment of drinking water. We attempted to explain facts related to the potential mechanisms of BC and AC, such as complexation, co-precipitation, electrostatic interaction, and ion exchange to treat water, thereby achieving a risk-free remediation approach to polluted water. Additionally, this research offers guidance on creating efficient household treatment units based on the health risks associated with customized adsorbents and cost-benefit analyses. Lastly, this review work discusses the current obstacles for using locally accessible materials and their thermo-chemically produced by-products to purify drinking water, as well as the necessity for technological interventions.

Abstract
Textile dyes are one of the major water pollutants released into water in various ways, posing serious hazards for both aquatic organisms and human beings. Bioremediation is a significantly promising technique for dye decolorization. In the present study, the fungal strain Lasiodiplodia sp. was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Schizophyllum for the first time. The isolated fungal strain was examined for laccase enzyme production under solid-state fermentation conditions with wheat bran (WB) using ABTS and 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol (DMP) as substrates, then the fermented wheat bran (FWB) was evaluated as a biosorbent for Congo red dye adsorption from aqueous solutions in comparison with unfermented wheat bran. A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the dye removal by FWB and to analyze the interaction effects between three factors: fermentation duration, pH, and dye concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to study the changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of wheat bran before and after fermentation. An additional experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of the Lasiodiplodia sp. YZH1 to remove Congo red in the dye-containing liquid culture. The results showed that laccase was produced throughout the cultivation, reaching peak activities of ∼6.2 and 22.3 U/mL for ABTS and DMP, respectively, on the fourth day of cultivation. FWB removed 89.8% of the dye (100 mg L-1) from the aqueous solution after 12 h of contact, whereas WB removed only 77.5%. Based on the Box-Behnken design results, FWB achieved 93.08% dye removal percentage under the conditions of 6 days of fermentation, pH 8.5, and 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 24 h. The fungal strain removed 95.3% of 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 8 days of inoculation in the dye-containing liquid culture. These findings indicate that this strain is a worthy candidate for dye removal from environmental effluents.

Abstract
Recently a large number of extensive studies have amassed that describe the removal of dyes from water and wastewater using natural adsorbents and modified materials. Methyl orange dye is found in wastewater streams from various industries that include textiles, plastics, printing and paper among other sources. This article reviews methyl orange adsorption onto natural and modified materials. Despite many techniques available, adsorption stands out for efficient water and wastewater treatment for its ease of operation, flexibility and large-scale removal of colorants. It also has a significant potential for regeneration recovery and recycling of adsorbents in comparison to other water treatment methods. The adsorbents described herein were classified into five categories based on their chemical composition: bio-sorbents, activated carbon, biochar, clays and minerals, and composites. In this review article, we want to demonstrate the capacity of natural and modified materials for dye adsorption which can yield significant improvements to the adsorption capacity of dyes such as methyl orange. In addition, the effect of critical variables including contact time, initial methyl orange concentration, dosage of adsorbent, pH, temperature and mechanism on the adsorption efficiency will be covered as part of this literature review.

Abstract
This study describes the valorization of a pine wood by-product (Pinus pinaster) in the form of individualized fibers to a complex copper or more broadly metals present in an aqueous solution using a batch process. The adsorption results show that pine fibres activated by sodium carbonate are effective in recovering copper ions from monocontaminated or polycontaminated solutions of varying concentrations in a few minutes. One gram of material captures 2.5 mg of copper present in 100 mL of solution at pH 5 in less than 10 min. The results are perfectly reproducible and independent of pH between 3 and 5. The presence of the Na+ cation at concentrations of 0.1 M has no impact on material performance, unlike that of Ca2+ ions, which competes with Cu2+ ions for active sites. The adsorption process can be considered as rapid, as most of the copper is adsorbed within the first 10 min of exposure. Investigation of modeling possibilities shows some limitations. Indeed, the Weber and Morris and Elovich models show poor possibilities to describe all the kinetic data for copper adsorption on fibres. This may prove that the mechanism is far more complex than simple physisorption, chemisorption and/or diffusion. Complexation by wood fibers can be extended to solutions containing several types of metals. The results of this study show that the field of selective metal recovery could be a new way of valorizing by-products from the wood industry.

Abstract
The release of contaminants of environmental concern including heavy metals and metalloids, and contaminants of emerging concern including organic micropollutants from processing industries, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and anthropogenic sources, is a growing threat worldwide. Mitigating inorganic and organic contaminants, which can be coined as contaminants of environmental and emerging concern (CEECs), is a big challenge as traditional physicochemical processes are not economically viable for managing mixed contaminants of low concentrations. As a result, low-cost materials must be designed to provide high CEEC removal efficiency. One of the environmentally viable and energy-efficient approaches is biosorption, which involves using biomass or biopolymers isolated from plants or animals to decontaminate heavy metals in contaminated environments using inherent biological mechanisms. Among chemical constituents in plant biomass, cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, proteins, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and animal biomass include polysaccharides and other compounds to bind heavy metals covalently and non-covalently. These functional groups include carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amide, amine, and sulfhydryl. Cation-exchange capacities of these bioadsorbents can be improved by applying chemical modifications. The relevance of chemical constituents and bioactives in biosorbents derived from agricultural production such as food and fodder crops, bioenergy and cash crops, fruit and vegetable crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, plantation trees, aquatic and terrestrial weeds, and animal production such as dairy, goatery, poultry, duckery, and fisheries is highlighted in this comprehensive review for sequestering and bioremediation of CEECs, including as many as ten different heavy metals and metalloids co-contaminated with other organic micropollutants in circular bioresource utilization and one-health concepts.

Abstract
Heavy metal discharge from various metallurgical industries has been of particular concern in India over the last few decades. Similarly, management and disposal of wastes that are generated out of agricultural commodities processing is a huge task for processors. The researchers have been focusing on a new process for remediation of heavy metals, among which biosorption is an emerging technology. Adsorption using agricultural and food industry wastes (AFW) has shown a greater absorption rate than the conventional system due to the presence of the functional groups. In addition, these reported AFW exhibited better adsorption efficiency when modified with acid, alkaline, and other chemical solvents. In this context, utilization of agricultural and food waste as bio-sorbent could simultaneously benefit both water treatment and waste management. This review seeking to address the possibilities of using biosorption as green technological approach for removal of heavy metals and also focuses on various parameters that are required to use AFW as an efficient system for biosorption. However, commercialization and implementation of this process in industrial scale is necessary for successfully utilizing AFW as low-cost adsorbents.

Abstract
Water hyacinth (WH) has become a considerable concern for people across the globe due to its environmental and socio-economic hazards. Researchers are still trying to control this aquatic weed effectively without other environmental or economic losses. Research on WH focuses on converting this omnipresent excessive biomass into value-added products. The potential use of WH for phytoremediation and utilizing waste biomass in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and bioenergy, has piqued interest. The use of waste WH biomass as a feedstock for producing bioenergy and value-added chemicals has emerged as an eco-friendly step towards the circular economy concept. Here, we have discussed the extraction of bio-actives and cellulose as primary bioproducts, followed by a detailed discussion on different biomass conversion routes to obtain secondary bioproducts. The suggested multi-objective approach will lead to cost-effective and efficient utilization of waste WH biomass. Additionally, the present review includes a discussion of the SWOT analysis for WH biomass and the scope for future studies. An integrated biorefinery scheme is proposed for the holistic utilization of this feedstock in a cascading manner to promote the sustainable and zero-waste circular bio-economy concept.

Abstract
Reed straw and electric furnace dust (EFD) waste were used to prepare magnetic Fe-C composite (EFD&C) by co-precipitation and high-temperature activation method to remove Cr(VI) from water. The magnetic EFD&C owned a large specific surface (536.61 m2/g) and a porous structure (micropores and mesopores), and had an efficient removal capacity for Cr(VI). Under conditions of pH (2), the addition amount of EFD&C (1 g/L), the adsorption time (760 min), and the temperature (45 °C), the maximum adsorption capacity reached 111.94 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism mainly attributed to chemical adsorption (redox), Cr(VI) reduced to Cr(III) by Fe(II) and Fe(0) (from Fe3O4 and Fe components in EFD) and surface functional groups of -OH, C = C, C-C and O-C = O (from biochar), and secondary attributed to physical adsorption, Cr(VI) and Cr(III) (from reduced Cr(VI)) adsorbed into the porous structure of EFD&C. This study provided a feasible solution for the preparation of adsorbents for adsorbing heavy metals from iron-containing metallurgical solid waste and biomass waste, which contributed to reducing the environmental pollution and lowering the cost of adsorbent preparation.

Green, zero-waste pathway to fabricate supported nanocatalysts and anti-kinetoplastid agents from sugarcane bagasse. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 155:179-191.

Abstract
The conversion processes of sugarcane into direct-consumption sugar and juice are generating a tremendous amount of waste, the so-called sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Biochar preparation is among the practical solutions aiming to manage and valorize SCB into high added-value functional material (FM). Herein, we propose a novel zero-waste pathway to fabricate two FMs from one biomass. The SCB was first macerated and ultrasonicated to obtain the natural extract that served as bio-reducing medium. Then, the H2O/EtOH-extracted SCB was in-situ impregnated with a bimetallic solution of copper and silver nitrates. The process produced an intermediate composite (FM0), Ag/Cu-Ag+/Cu2+-loaded SCB which was carbonized to elaborate Ag/Cu-Biochar (FM1), free Ag/Cu nanoparticles (FM2) were obtained by microwaving the residual liquid waste. FM1 exhibited high catalytic activity for the total Fenton-like degradation of methylene blue. The experimental data followed the pseudo-first and the pseudo-second order rate laws with apparent degradation rate constants K1 45 10-3 min-1 and K2 0.115 g.mg-1.min-1, respectively. FM0, FM1 and FM2 were tested as new anti-kinetoplastid materials against two flagellated protozoans namely the Leishmania spp and the Trypanosoma cruzi. Notably, Ag/Cu (FM2) showed exceptional leishmanicidal and trypanocidal effects with IC50 values of 2.909 ± 0.051, 3.580 ± 0.016 and 3.020 ± 0.372 ppm for L.donovani, L. amazonensis and Trypanosoma cruzi, respectively. In this way, we combine green chemistry and agrowaste valorization in a full zero-waste process, to address the 3rd (indicator 3.3.5) and 6th (indicator 6.3.1) United Nations sustainable development goals, ″Good Health and Well-Being″ and ″Clean Water and Sanitation″.

Abstract
Organic wastes are considered the most significant components of urban solid waste, negatively affecting the environment. It is essential to use renewable resources to minimize environmental risks. Composting is one of the most sustainable methods for managing organic waste and involves transforming organic matter into a stable and nutrient-enriched biofertilizer, through the succession of microbial populations into a stabilized product. This work aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the new type of composter and the microbial and physiochemical dynamics during composting aiming to accelerate the degradation of organic waste and produce high-quality compost. Two inoculants were evaluated: (1) efficient microorganisms (EM); (2) commercial inoculum (CI), which were compared to a control treatment, without inoculation. Composting was performed by mixing organic waste from gardening with residues from the University's Restaurant (C/N ratio 30:1). The composting process was carried out in a 1 m3 composter with controlled temperature and aeration. The thermophilic phase for all treatments was reached on the second day. Mature compost was obtained after an average of 120 days, and composting in all treatments showed an increase in the availability of P and micronutrients. The new composter helped to accelerate the decomposition of residues, through the maintenance of adequate oxygen content and temperature control inside the cells, providing high metabolic activity of microorganisms, contributing to an increase in physicochemical characteristics, also reducing the composting time in both treatments. During composting, the bacteria and actinobacteria populations were higher than yeasts and filamentous fungi. The inoculated treatments presented advantages showing more significant mineralization of P-available and micronutrients such as Mn and Zn in terms of the quality of the final product in comparison to the control treatment. Finally, the new composter and the addition of inoculants contributed significantly to the efficiency of the process of composting organic waste.

Abstract
AbstractAdsorption of ionic molecules at the solid–liquid interface depends on various interactions, particles surface properties as well as the presence of the additional substance in the analyzed systems. The waste material obtained from the supercritical fluid extraction process was used as an adsorbent. The plant-based biosorbent structure was fully characterized. Then the humic acid (constituting the common interfering substance found in the environmental samples) sorption on the hop cones was investigated in the absence and presence of Sr/Cs ions under various pH conditions. Hence, the metal cation valence can influence the interactions between the colloidal system constituents and the adsorption layer structure. Determining the mutual interactions in the complex systems is important due to the potential possibility of using the waste sorbent to remove the radioactive Cs and Sr isotopes from the aquatic environment. Due to the lack of a porous structure of the sorbent and the high surface density of the charge, the metal ions are bound directly on the particles surface. The humic acid (HA) adsorption is greatly pH dependent—the largest removal was achieved under the acidic conditions (Qads = 88.69 mg/g), while the HA sorption process at pH 9 is impeded by a large negative charge deposited at the solid–liquid interface (Qads = 7.06 mg/g). At pH 3, formation of multilayer adsorption structure contributes to the effective removal of organic impurities. The metal ions valence significantly affects the humic acid binding mechanism. Divalent Sr acts like a “bridge” increasing the number of biosorbent active sites (at pH = 3 the HA adsorption increases almost twofold from 88.69 to 156.46 mg/g in the Sr ions), whereas the Cs+ ions leads to the reduction in the HA removal efficiency (Qads. = 46.31 mg/g under the same conditions).

Abstract
Many organic materials have been used to decrease heavy-metal bioavailability in soil via in-situ remediation due to its high efficiency and easy operation; meanwhile, cheap materials have also been pursued to decrease the cost of remediation. Agricultural wastes exhibit their potential in remediation materials due to their low cost; however, raw agricultural wastes have a low ability to immobilize heavy metals in soil. Attempts have been made to modify agricultural wastes to improve the efficiency of heavy-metal passivation. In this study, novel agricultural waste-based materials, raw sugarcane bagasse (SB), citric acid modified (SSB) and citric-acid/Fe3O4 modified (MSB) sugarcane bagasse at 0.5% and 1% addition rates, were compared for their effectiveness in soil Cd passivation and Cd accumulations in pakchoi plants in a 30-day pot experiment. The addition of SB did not decrease soil bioavailable Cd effectively and slightly decreased Cd accumulation in plant roots and leaves. In comparison, SSB and MSB exhibited a great potential to decrease the transformation, translocation and accumulation of Cd with the decrease being greater at 1% than 0.5% rate in the soil-pakchoi system. For example, the addition of SSB and MSB at 0.5% decreased the concentration of Cd in leaves by 10%, and 16%, and at 1% decreased the concentration by 25% and 30%, respectively. High pH and abundant functional groups of three amendments played important roles in Cd immobilization. The enhanced microbial activities might also contribute to Cd passivation. However, plant growth was decreased in the amended treatments except SSB at 0.5% rate. The results suggest that citric-acid-modified sugarcane bagasse at addition rate of 0.5% has a potential to immobilize Cd in soil and decrease Cd accumulation in edible part of pakchoi effectively without decreasing vegetable growth.

Abstract
Application of Pistacia atlantica Leaves Powder as Natural Material To Remove Nitrate and Phosphate Ions From Domestic Wastewater by Characterization, Bio-removal, and Phytotoxicity StudiesObaida Alhajali1* , Adnan Ali-Nizam1 , Rasha Almostafa2 1Damascus University, Department of Plant Biology, Damascus, Syria.2International University for Science and Technology, Department of General and Analytical Chemistry, Syria. Abstract: Description of Pistacia leaves powder using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), specific surface area according to nitrogen adsorption (SBET) and methylene Blue (MB), and point of zero charge determination (pHpzc). A series of batch adsorption tests were conducted to study effect of various factors (plant powders dose, contact time, temperature, pH) on the percentage of nitrate and phosphate removal from domestic wastewater. The adsorption kinetics, regeneration ability test of plant powder, and phytotoxicity tests for treated water and spent powder on germination were studied. Results of SBET analysis showed that Pistacia leaves powders have a low surface area and microscopic pores, SEM images revealed rough surfaces with uneven cavities, EDX analysis showed that there are high percentages of carbon and oxygen, good percentages for nitrogen, and few percentages of potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sulfur and chlorine, and FTIR analysis showed that there are more than five distinct absorption peaks. The maximum value of nitrate and phosphate removal was 76.47% and 52.20%, respectively, at powder dose of 2 g/L, temperature 25 °C, and pH 5, and the percentage of nitrate and phosphate removal increased with increasing contact time until equilibrium was reached after 120 min for nitrate and 180 min for phosphate, and It was found that adsorption of ions follows kinetics of reaction from pseudo-second-order model, and powders can be Regeneration and used for two successive cycles with a slight decrease in removal efficiency. Germination tests on Lepidium sativum indicate no phytotoxicity. That is, Pistacia leaves powder is one of the natural products that are effective in removing nitrate and phosphate from domestic wastewater.

Abstract
The study provides a review of various applications of biomass-derived biochars, waste-derived biochars, and modified biochars as adsorbent materials for removing dyestuff from process effluents. Processing significant amounts of dye effluent discharges into receiving waters can supply major benefits to countries which are affected by the water crisis and anticipated future stress in many areas in the world. When compared to most conventional adsorbents, biochars can provide an economically attractive solution. In comparison to many other textile effluent treatment processes, adsorption technology provides an economic, easily managed, and highly effective treatment option. Several tabulated data values are provided that summarize the main characteristics of various biochar adsorbents according to their ability to remove dyestuffs from wastewaters.

Accelerating Microbial Activity of Soil Aquifer Treatment by Hydrogen Peroxide. ENERGIES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/en15113852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Soil aquifer treatment (SAT), as a gravity-based wastewater reuse process, is limited by oxygen availability to the microbial community in the soil. Using oxygen from enzymatic degradation of H2O2 to generate hyper-oxygen conditions can exceed solubility limitations associated with aeration, but little is known about the effect of hyper-oxygen conditions on the microbial community and the dominant bio-reactions. This study examined the impact of H2O2 addition on the community structure and process performance, along with SAT depth. Overall, two soil columns were incrementally fed synthetic secondary effluents to simulate infiltration through SAT. The experimental column received 14 mg/L hydrogen peroxide to double the level of natural oxygen available. The microbial kinetics of nitrifiers and heterotrophs were evaluated. We found that all of the H2O2 was degraded within the top 10 cm of the column, accompanied by a higher removal of COD (23 ± 0.25%) and ammonia (31 ± 3%) in comparison to the reference column. Higher nitrogen removal (23 ± 0.04%) was obtained for the whole process using H2O2. Analysis of nitrifiers indicated that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria were most influenced, obtaining higher concentration and abundance when exposed to H2O2. DNA sequencing analysis of samples exposed to H2O2 revealed significant community structure and diversity differences among heterotrophs. This study shows that not only aerobic, but also anoxic, microbial activity and process performance in a SAT system could be accelerated in existing infrastructure with H2O2, which could significantly decrease the associated environmental footprint.

Abstract
Various chemicals were explored in chemical combinations with two selected agrowastes in order to optimize, enhance, and improve their biosorption potential for the optimal and effective eradication of noxious, carcinogenic, and malignant cationic and basic dyes from wastewater. In this project, environmentally safe, economic, inexpensive, and widely available peels of Trapa natans (TP) and Citrullus lanatus (CP) were collected, dried, and pretreated with citric acid, revealing promising results. FT-IR and SEM characterizations of chemically changed biosorbents (C-TP and C-CP) have evidenced the presence of more secondary adsorption sites on their surfaces. These acid-modified biosorbents were employed to eliminate the hazardous and toxic basic dyes such as Rhodamine B (RAD) and Brilliant Green Dye (BLG) in batch mode processing. The Langmuir model was best fitted to equilibrium experimental data as compared to Freundlich and Temkin isothermal mathematical models with Qmax of 15.63 and 27.55 mg/g for RAD using C-TP and C-CP, respectively, whereas, for BLG on C-TP and C-CP, it was 128 and 189 mg/g, respectively. Therefore, the mechanism is related to chelation and ion exchange modes between adsorbate molecules and adsorbent surfaces, leading to homogeneous and monolayer adsorption and following pseudo-2nd-order kinetics in the best way. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG0, ΔS0, ΔH0, and ΔE0 are determined statistically for the adsorption performance of both novel chemically mutant biosorbents, which reflect that biosorption mechanisms are exothermic as well as spontaneous.

Modified Hazelnut Shells as a Novel Adsorbent for the Removal of Nitrate from Wastewater. WATER 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/w14050816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to prepare a novel adsorbent by chemical modification of hazelnut shells and evaluate its potential for the nitrate removal from model solutions and real wastewater. The characterization of the novel adsorbent, i.e., modified hazelnut shell (MHS) was performed. The adsorbent characterization included the analysis of elemental composition and the surface characteristics analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption experiments (batch technique) were performed to investigate the effects of adsorbent concentration, contact time, initial nitrate concentration, and solution pH. The nitrate removal efficiency increased with the increase in MHS concentration and decreased with the initial nitrate concentration. MHS was found to be effective in nitrate removal over a wide pH range (from 2 to 10), and the highest amount of nitrate adsorbed was 25.79 mg g−1 in a model nitrate solution. Depending on the aqueous medium (model solutions or real wastewater samples), it was shown that both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models can be used to interpret the adsorption process. It was found that the kinetics are well described by a pseudo-second order model and the nitrate adsorption process can be controlled by chemisorption. The intraparticle diffusion model has been used to identify an adsorption-controlled process by diffusion mechanisms. Adsorption/desorption experiments in column confirmed that MHS could be successfully used in multiple cycles (at least three), indicating the potential of MHS as an alternative to costly commercial adsorbents for the removal of nitrates from wastewater.

Abstract
Industrial contaminants such as dyes and intermediates are released into water bodies, making the water unfit for human use. At the same time large amounts of food wastes accumulate near the work places, residential complexes etc. polluting the air due to putrefaction. The need of the hour lies in finding innovative solutions for dye removal from wastewater streams. In this context, the article emphasizes adoption or conversion of food waste materials, an ecological nuisance, as adsorbents for the removal of dyes from wastewaters. Adsorption, being a well-established technique, the review critically examines the specific potential of food waste constituents as dye adsorbents. The efficacy of food waste-based adsorbents is examined, besides addressing the possible adsorption mechanisms and the factors affecting phenomenon such as pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dosage, particle size, and ionic strength. Integration of information and communication technology approaches with adsorption isotherms and kinetic models are emphasized to bring out their role in improving overall modeling performance. Additionally, the reusability of adsorbents has been highlighted for effective substrate utilization. The review makes an attempt to stress the valorization of food waste materials to remove dyes from contaminated waters thereby ensuring long-term sustainability.

Abstract
Magnetic composites obtained by impregnation of lignocellulosic biomass with magnetite nanoparticles were used for zinc(II) removal from aqueous synthetic solutions. Laurel, canelo and eucalyptus sawdust, with a particle size between 74 and 150 µm were used as support. Structural and morphological examinations of the composites confirmed the presence of magnetite nanoparticles in the lignocellulosic support. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed nanoparticles with diameters of about 20 nm. The maximum removal efficiencies for 7 g L−1 of modified adsorbent were increased to 98.9, 98.8 and 97.6% for laurel, canelo and eucalyptus magnetic composites, respectively, in comparison to 60.9, 46.0 and 33.3%, for corresponding unmodified adsorbents. Adsorption data was analyzed using pseudo-first, pseudo-second order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models and various isotherm models. The results determined that Freundlich isotherm fits the Zn ions adsorption on magnetite modified adsorbents while chemisorption and boundary diffusion were dominating the process.

Sustainable ecofriendly recruitment of bioethanol fermentation lignocellulosic spent waste biomass for the safe reuse and discharge of petroleum production produced water via biosorption and solid biofuel production. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 422:126845.

Abstract
Sustainable lignocellulosic spent waste rice straw (SWRS) from bioethanol production inventively applied in this study to valorize petroleum production produced water (PPPW). SWRS expressed efficient pollutant removal over a wide range of petroleum concentration, temperature, pH, salinity, and mixing rate reaching approximately 217 mg/g, within four hours contact time. Kinetic studies revealed a pseudo-second-order chemisorption process with a boundary layer control and 16.97 kJ/mol activation energy where the intra-particle diffusion was not the only rate regulatory step. Thermodynamic studies revealed spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic adsorption, with a strong affinity between the SWRS and oil molecules. Biosorption mechanism studies proved the enrollment of SWRS components' lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in the oil uptake with the predominance of chemisorption over physisorption onto the rough and highly porous SWRS surface. A single-stage batch biosorption process was designed based on the best fitted Langmuir adsorption isotherm and applied on a real PPPW sample. The Egyptian standard limits for safe industrial effluents discharge into marine environment with a concomitant decrease in scale formation precursors were achieved recommending its safe reuse for enhanced oil recovery. Finally, for accomplishing zero-waste, SWRS disposed of PPPW treatment substantiated valorized solid biofuel with a sufficient calorific value 38.56 MJ/kg.

Efficient removal of a low concentration of Pb(II), Fe(III) and Cu(II) from simulated drinking water by co-immobilization between low-dosages of metal-resistant/adapted fungus Penicillium janthinillum and graphene oxide and activated carbon. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131591. [PMID: 34303053 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131591] [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: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Drinking water safety cannot be overemphasized. Filamentous fungi have many excellent features for metal removal. Both graphene oxide (GO) and activated carbon (AC) are conventional metal adsorbents, but they are not suitable for large-scale use due to high cost. In this study, a low dosage of conidia (2.0 × 104 conidia/mL) of metal-resistant/adapted filamentous fungus Penicillium janthinillum strain GXCR were co-immobilized with a low dosage of 0.5 mg/L GO or 0.5 mg/L AC by embedding in 2% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-3% sodium alginate (SA), generating six types of microbead adsorbents (MBAs) to remove metals from a low concentration of either single metal (100 mg/L) or mixed metals (100 mg/L each) of Pb (II), Fe (III) and Cu (II) in drinking water. Fungus GXCR-containing MBAs had higher specific surface areas (SSAs), better mesoporous structures, and a higher removal rate (85-98.99%) of single or mixed metals. Singl-metal adsorptions of MBAs were almost unaffected by temperature changes. MBAs showed a stable removal rate of 87-94% during four cycles of adsorption-desorption of single metal. Single-metal adsorptions were well described by multiple models of Freundlich isotherm with constant values of 0.21-0.432, Langmuir isotherm with constant values of 0.037-0.17, Pseudo-fist-order, Pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion (IPD). In conclusion, co-immobilization between GXCR, GO and AC can make metal removal more efficient. Adsorption capacity is increased with SSAs but not in the same proportion. Single-metal adsorptions involve multiple mechanisms of monolayer and multilayer adsorptions, external mass transfer, and IPD. IPD is important but not the only one rate-controlling step for single-metal adsorptions.

Abstract
The present research explores the application of optimization tools namely Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in the decolorization of Reactive Yellow 81 (RY81) from an aqueous solution. The characterization of the biochar was carried out using FTIR, elemental analysis, proximate analysis, BET analysis and Thermogravimetric analysis. Five independent variables namely solution pH, biochar dose, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature were analyzed using RSM, ANN and ANFIS models. The maximum removal efficiency of 86.4% was obtained and the statistical error analysis was calculated. The correlation coefficient of 0.9665, 0.9998 and 0.9999 was obtained for RSM, ANN and ANFIS models, respectively. Adsorption Isotherm models and kinetic models were used to understand the adsorption mechanism. Maximum monolayer adsorption of 225 mg g-1 was predicted by Hill isotherm model. A partition coefficient of 4.09 L g-1 was obtained at an initial dye concentration of 250 mg L-1. It was revealed from the thermodynamic studies that reactions are endothermic and spontaneous. Further, to check the potential of the biochar, regeneration cycle was studied. The desorption efficiency of 99.5% was achieved at an S/L ratio of 3, regeneration cycles of 2, and sodium hydroxide was found as the best elutant for the desorption.

Abstract
Zein has drawn attention for its great potential for biodegradability and adsorption of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) that is a carcinogenic industrial pollutant. Zein is a biopolymer extracted from corn and is used for many purposes, but because of its poor stability in aqueous solution, a novel composite of zein and nylon-6 was used to synthesize a nanofibrous membrane using electrospinning to improve its stability and tensile strength. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the zein/nylon-6 (ZN6) nanofiber membrane showed a smooth, beadless, and continuous structure of the nanofibers, but the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of pristine and Cr(VI) saturated ZN6 showed that peaks of secondary amide, carbonyl, and hydroxyl functional groups were involved in adsorption. Optimized experimental parameters were obtained with pH 2.0, contact time 60 min, adsorbent dosage 25 mg, and adsorbate concentration 5.0 mg Cr-VI/mL. Experimental results show that the ZN6 nanofibers removed 87% Cr(VI) with an adsorption capacity of 4.73 mg/g at ambient temperature. Also, the Langmuir isotherm fits well, and the adsorption process followed a pseudo-2nd-order kinetics with r2 of 0.90 and 0.99 respectively.

Abstract
The bioremediation of emerging pollutants in wastewater via algal biotechnology has been emerging as a cost-effective and low-energy input technological solution. However, the algal bioremediation technology is still not fully developed at a commercial level. The development of different technologies and new strategies to cater specific needs have been studied. The existence of multiple emerging pollutants and the selection of microalgal species is a major concern. The rate of algal bioremediation is influenced by various factors, including accidental contaminations and operational conditions in the pilot-scale studies. Algal-bioremediation can be combined with existing treatment technologies for efficient removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater. This review mainly focuses on algal-bioremediation systems for wastewater treatment and pollutant removal, the impact of emerging pollutants in the environment, selection of potential microalgal species, mechanisms involved, and challenges in removing emerging pollutants using algal-bioremediation systems.

IGiven the capacity of the food industry in Ukraine and the amount of waste produced, the development of technologies for processing lignin-cellulose biomass is an important research and practical issue.Purpose. The purpose of this research is to study the adsorption properties of chemically modified biosorbent based on plant materials concerning synthetic dyes of different types and classes; to assess the feasibility of biosorbent production and efficiency of its application in water treatment.Materials and Methods. Lignocellulose sorbent (LCS) has been synthesized from non-wood raw materials by chemical modification with the use of phosphoric acid with the addition of urea in an aqueous media. The Fourier transform infrared and standard methods of plant raw material analysis have been used to determine the physicochemical characteristics of LCS. The adsorption of anionic (methyl orange, alizarin red S, eosin Y), cationic (methylene blue, neutral red), and nonionic (aniline yellow) dyes on LCS from aqueous solution has been studied in the batch mode.Results. The adsorption capacity of LCS towards cationic dyes (47.0–53.3 mg/g) is higher than that of anionic (22.2–36.9 mg/g) and nonionic (4.7 mg/g) ones. The adsorption kinetics have been adequately described by a pseudo-second-order equation. Adsorption of all classes of dyes on LCS is thermodynamically feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic process. The liquid by-product of LCS production contains 15% nitrogen and 10% phosphorus, so it may be used as a fertilizer.
Conclusions. The proposed method for processing food waste provides obtaining effective sorbent and liquid NP-fertilizer. LCS removes both cationic and anionic pollutants from water, so it may be considered a promisingbiosorbent for water purification.

Marathe D, Raghunathan K, Singh A, Thawale P, Kumari K. A Modified Lysimeter Study for Phyto-Treatment of Moderately Saline Wastewater Using Plant-Derived Filter Bedding Materials. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:767132. [PMID: 34938280 PMCID: PMC8685380 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.767132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study focuses on determining the phyto-treatment efficiency for treatment of moderately saline wastewater using organic raw materials, such as rice husk, coconut husk, rice straw, and charcoal. The moderately saline wastewater with total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration up to 6143.33 ± 5.77 mg/L was applied to the lysimeters at the rate of 200 m3 ha-1 day-1 in five different lysimeter treatments planted with Eucalyptus camaldulensis (T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5). T1 was a control without any filter bedding material, whereas rice straw, rice husk, coconut husk, and charcoal were used as filter bedding materials in the T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatment systems, respectively. Each treatment showed significant treatment efficiency wherein T3 had the highest removal efficiency of 76.21% followed by T4 (67.57%), T5 (65.18%), T2 (46.46%), and T1 (45.5%). T3 and T4 also showed higher salt accumulation, such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K). Further, the pollution load in terms of TDS and chemical and biological oxygen demand significantly reduced from leachate in the T3 and T4 treatments in comparison with other treatments. Parameters of the soil, such as electrical conductivity, exchangeable sodium percentage, and cation exchange capacity did not show values corresponding to high salinity or sodic soils, and therefore, no adverse impact on soil was observed in the present study. Also, Eucalyptus camaldulensis plant species showed good response to wastewater treatment in terms of growth parameters, such as root/shoot weight and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) uptake, plant height, biomass, and chlorophyll content. Root and shoot dry weight were in the order T3 (51.2 and 44.6 g)>T4 (49.3 and 43.5 g) > T5 (47.6 and 40.5 g) > T2 (46.9 and 38.2 g) > T1 (45.6 and 37.1 g). Likewise, the total chlorophyll content was highest in T3 (12.6 μg/g) followed by T4 (12.3 μg/g), T5 (11.9 μg/g), T2 (11.5 μg/g), and the control, that is, T1 (11.0 μg/g). However, the most promising results were obtained for T3 and T4 treatments in comparison with the control (T1), which implies that, among all organic raw materials, coconut and rice husks showed the highest potential for salt accumulation and thereby wastewater treatment. Conclusively, the findings of the study suggest that organic raw material-based amendments are useful in managing the high salts levels in both plants and leachates.

Abstract
In this study, soy waste biomass (SW) resulting from oil extraction was treated with alkaline solution, and the obtained material (Na-SW) was used as biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions from aqueous media. The performance of this biosorbent was examined in batch systems, at different initial metal ion concentrations and contact times (pH 3.4; 5 g of biosorbent/L). Isotherm and kinetic modeling was used to calculate the equilibrium and kinetics of the biosorption processes. The maximum biosorption capacity, calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model, followed the order Zn(II) (0.49 mmol/g) > Cd(II) (0.41 mmol/g) ≈ Pb(II) (0.40 mmol/g), while the kinetics of biosorption processes fit the pseudo-second-order model. Three cycles of biosorption/desorption were performed to estimate the reusability of Na-SW biosorbent, and the regeneration efficiency was higher than 97% in all cases. The practical applicability of Na-SW biosorbent in treating of wastewater contaminated with Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions was examined using simulated wastewater samples, and the main quality characteristics of the effluents obtained after treatment were evaluated. All these aspects highlight the potential applicability of Na-SW for large-scale wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Melanoidins are classified as hazardous colouring and polluting biopolymers, which are generated in very large amounts in molasses-based distillery effluent. In this study, melanoidin was removed through adsorption using amine surface-modified Phyllanthus emblica leaf powder (PELP) as a low-cost natural adsorbent. The amine-modified adsorbents were prepared by forming self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The pzc of melanoidin and anime-modified PELP were found to be 6.9 and 3.8, respectively. RSM-CCD was used to optimize the environmental conditions considering adsorbent doses (0.2-2 % w/v), pH (3-11) and temperature (25-55 °C). A complete decolourization of melanoidin (98.50 ± 1 %) was observed at the optimized conditions (44.0 °C, pH = 5.93 and dose = 1.34 % w/v) along with 93.4 ± 0.2 % of COD reduction. The surface modification enhanced the maximum adsorption capacity to 616.2 mg g-1 i.e. 2.5 folds. The modified adsorbent also resulted in colour removal and COD reduction as 91 ± 3 and 84 ± 2 %, respectively from a real spentwash sample.

Abstract
The adsorption of dyes using 39 adsorbents (16 kinds of agro-wastes) were modeled using random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), and gradient boosting (GB) models based on 350 sets of adsorption experimental data. In addition, the correlation between variables and their importance was applied. After comprehensive feature selection analysis, five important variables were selected from nine variables. The RF with the highest accuracy (R2 = 0.9) was selected as the best model for prediction of adsorption capacity of agro-waste using the five selected variables. The results suggested that agro-waste characteristics (pore volume, surface area, agro-waste pH, and particle size) accounted for 50.7% contribution for adsorption efficiency. The pore volume and surface area are the most important influencing variables among the agro-waste characteristics, while the role of particle size was inconspicuous. The accurate ability of the developed models’ prediction could significantly reduce experimental screening efforts, such as predicting the dye removal efficiency of agro-waste activated carbon according to agro-waste characteristics. The relative importance of variables could provide a right direction for better treatments of dyes in the real wastewater.

Abstract
A novel chitosan grafted citronellal (Ch-Cit) schiff base amphiphilic polymer was developed for the adsorptive removal of oil spills. The chemical structure was verified by FT-IR spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectrometer, while the morphological changes and surface area were investigated by SEM and BET analysis tools. The amphiphilic character of Ch-Cit schiff base was controlled through variation of the grafting percentage (G%) of citronellal from 11 to 61%. Dramatic changes in the ion exchange capacity (IEC), solubility and water uptake profiles were established, while the oil adsorption capacity was founded in direct relation with the G (%) of citronellal. Operational conditions such as oil amount, adsorption time, adsorbent dose and agitation speed were investigated. The developed Ch-Cit schiff base exhibited a higher surface area (115.94 m2/g) compared to neat chitosan (57.78 m2/g). The oil adsorption capacity of the Ch-Cit schiff base was greatly improved by 166% and 120% for light crude and heavy crude oil, respectively. Finally, the adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).The results substantiate that the amphiphilic Ch-Cit schiff base could be efficiently applied as a low-cost oil-adsorbent for the removal of crude oil spills from sea-water surfaces.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons belong to the main priority substances for the aquatic environment. One of the emission sources of these compounds to environment is wastewater discharged from conventional wastewater treatment systems, which are not designed to cope with this type of pollution. Thus, due to the widely discussed properties of aerobic granular activated sludge in the literature - a conducted study has proven its ability to remove LMW PAHs (naphthalene (Nap), acenaphthylene (Acy), acenaphthene (Ace), fluorene (Flu), phenanthrene (Phe) and anthracene (Ant)) from wastewater by biosorption process at varying loadings of organic compounds expressed as BOD (kg/kg·d) on the activated sludge mass. The maximum biosorption of Nap was 605 µg/kgd.m., Acy equals to 134 µg/kgd.m., Ace equals to 355 µg/kgd.m. Flu equals to 104 µg/kgd.m. Phe equal to 204 µg/kgd.m. and Ant equal to 173 µg/kgd.m. The study showed that the BOD loading rate is one of the factors affecting the biosorption process of LMW PAHs. However, as the amount of adsorbed LMW PAHs increased, the condition of aerobic granular activated sludge deteriorated, which was evidenced by gradual increase in the values of technological parameters of activated sludge (SVI, HRT, SRT) and a smaller increase in activated sludge dry mass.

Abstract
The present research was devoted to water decontamination through the valorization of cellulosic fibers for the preparation of performing biosorbent, with high pollutant-uptake capacity and low cost. Luffa cylindrica (L.C) and zinc oxide were chosen for the synthesis of hybrid materials by precipitation with and without alternating current (AC). AC was used as a new alternative able to accelerate the reaction kinetics and to enhance the biosorption speed. The potential to remove phenol, from aqueous solution by coupling biosorption and AC, was highlighted. Pure L.C and hybrid materials (L.C + 4% Zn2+) synthesized with and without AC were chosen for the biosorption tests. The effects of pH, initial concentration, frequency, and contact time were studied. The efficiency of the coupling process was evaluated according to the quality of the treated water before and after purification. Results have shown that the percentages of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), germination indexes, and phenol removals have increased when adopting the coupling process. The maximal uptakes of phenol reached 15.4, 28.07, and 28.9 mg g-1 for a concentration of 30 mg L-1 of phenol, respectively, for raw L.C, L.C + 4% Zn2+ + AC, and L.C + 4% Zn2+ at pH = 2. Quantitative and qualitative characterizations confirmed the efficiency of the synthesized hybrid materials compared with pure L.C. The fractal model of Brouers Sotolongo was chosen for the description of the random distribution of the active sites. The kinetic and isotherm data showed a good correlation with the experimental results.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate grape seeds as a potential adsorbent for nitrate removal from water. Grape seeds were modified by quaternization and the applicability of the modified grape seeds (MGS) was evaluated in batch adsorption experiments. Fixed bed adsorption and regeneration studies were carried out to determine the regeneration capacity of MGS. The maximum adsorption capacity of 25.626 mg g−1 at native pH (6.3) for nitrate removal by MSG was comparable to that of the commercial anion exchange resin Relite A490 under similar conditions. The percent removal of nitrate from model nitrate solution was 86.47% and 93.25% for MGS, and Relite A490, respectively, and in synthetic wastewater 57.54% and 78.37%. Analysis of the batch adsorption data using isotherm models revealed that the Freundlich model provided a better fit to the data obtained than the Langmuir model, indicating multilayer adsorption. In kinetic terms, the results showed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-first order model. By investigating the adsorption mechanism, the results suggest that the intraparticle diffusion model was not the only process controlling the adsorption of nitrate on MGS. In column experiments (adsorption/desorption studies), three adsorption cycles were tested with minimal decrease in adsorption capacities, implying that this alternative adsorbent can be successfully regenerated and reused.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic fibers extracted from plants are considered an interesting raw material for environmentally friendly products with multiple applications. This work investigated the feasibility of using hemp- and flax-based materials in the form of felts as biosorbents for the removal of metals present in aqueous solutions. Biosorption of Al, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn from a single solution by the two lignocellulosic-based felts was examined using a batch mode. The parameters studied were initial metal concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and pH. In controlled conditions, the results showed that: (i) the flax-based felt had higher biosorption capacities with respect to the metals studied than the hemp-based felt; (ii) the highest removal efficiency was always obtained for Cu ions, and the following order of Cu > Cd > Zn > Ni > Co > Al > Mn was found for both examined biosorbents; (iii) the process was rapid and 10 min were sufficient to attain the equilibrium; (iv) the efficiency improved with the increase of the adsorbent dosage; and (v) the biosorption capacities were independent of pH between 4 and 6. Based on the obtained results, it can be considered that plant-based felts are new, efficient materials for metal removal.

Carbohydrate biopolymers, lignin based adsorbents for removal of heavy metals (Cd 2+, Pb 2+, Zn 2+) from wastewater, regeneration and reuse for spent adsorbents including latent fingerprint detection: A review. BIOTECHNOLOGY REPORTS (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2021; 30:e00609. [PMID: 33898275 PMCID: PMC8058533 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2021.e00609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Living organisms are created by carbohydrate biopolymers such as chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, alginate and lignin. These carbohydrate biopolymers have been extensively used for environmental applications because they are bio-degradable, bio-compatible, non-toxic and inexpensive. Recently, carbohydrate biopolymers have been used to prepare different nanocomposite adsorbents for treatment of wastewater. These adsorbents explored the removal effectiveness of inorganic pollutants from aqueous solution. This review article discusses the synthesis and application of chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, alginate and lignin nanocomposites as adsorbents for heavy metals. Toxic metals can be efficiently absorbed by cross-linkers, distributed in aqueous solutions of divalent heavy metal ions to examine their polymer absorption capacity. These nanocomposites were used for the adsorption of highly toxic metals such as Cd2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ in water. To make heavy metal ion uptake more effective, more functionalization has been implemented such as blending, grafting, or mixing with different nanomaterials with an extra functional group. The integration of the second part into the main polymer chain not only adds functionality but also increases mechanical efficiency, one of the core criteria for adsorbent recyclability. The remediation method of metal ions from wastewater is cheaper as long as the adsorbent is reused. Furthermore, they exhibited good performance for the reuse of spent adsorbents after adsorption-desorption processes including latent fingerprint detection with nanomaterials by using the powder dusting method. Chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, alginate and lignin based nanocomposites have demonstrated better adsorption activities due to great physical and chemical properties for the chelation of heavy metals such as Cd2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ from water and also higher regeneration with various eluents after several desorption-adsorption cycles. In addition, reuse of the spent adsorbents in latent fingerprint detection with different nanomaterials is discussed. Finally, this review article makes recommendations for future studies in light of environmentally favourable and economical applications.
