Abstract
The discharge of Cr(vi)and Pb(ii) contaminants into water resources through industrial waste induces a considerable risk to human and marine life, which demands an effective removal of these toxic metal ions (MI) from the aquatic environment. This study presents a remarkable adsorption performance of the carboxylic terminated Ti3C2Tx nanosheets synthesized using ammonium bifluoride and citric acid and applied as adsorbents for the removal of Cr(vi)and Pb(ii) from water. Adsorption efficiency was evaluated under sonication, MI concentration, and solution temperature at pH 5.5. Maximum adsorption capacities of 1090 mg g-1 and 1135 mg g-1 for Cr(vi) and Pb(ii) were attained within 7 and 4 minutes, respectively. Moreover, adsorption kinetic and isotherm studies were conducted, and the experimental data was found to fit well with pseudo-second-order reaction and Freundlich models. It was also established that the main interactions to drive the adsorption reactions were the electrostatic forces between the adsorbates and Ti3C2Tx adsorbent. Furthermore, (-COOH) and (-OH) terminal groups were the main contributors to the adsorption of Cr(vi) and Pb(ii) pollutants through an ion exchange mechanism. Besides the ion exchange mechanism, chemical coordination, entrapment of the adsorbates, and van der Waals forces lead to a physiochemical interaction between the MI and Ti3C2Tx nanosheets. In addition, Ti3C2Tx nanosheets showed better selectivity towards Pb(ii) removal than Cr(vi) in an aqueous solution. The nanosheets also exhibited more than 80% removal efficiency even after six cycles of regeneration and reusability. Additionally, Ti3C2Tx nanosheets offered superior adsorption performance for Cr(vi) and Pb(ii) compared to previously reported titanium carbide MXenes and activated carbon-based adsorbents. Hence, these high-quality and efficient Ti3C2Tx nanosheets can potentially eradicate other hazardous MI contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
As the main component of radioactive wastewater, the cesium ion has seriously endangered the environment and human health. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) are used as adsorbents for the purification of cesium-containing wastewater because of their ability to selectively adsorb cesium ions. In this work, novel magnetic Prussian blue nanospheres (MPBNs) were developed from polylactic acid nanospheres as a carrier, loaded with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) inside and PB NPs outside for the removal of cesium ions with the help of magnetic separation. Meanwhile, the effects on the adsorption efficiency of MPBNs, such as pH, time, temperature and initial concentration of cesium ion solution, were studied. The adsorption isotherms, kinetic models and adsorption thermodynamics were investigated to research the absorption mechanism. The results showed that MPBNs were spherical with a rough surface, and their particle size, iron content and saturation magnetization were 268.2 ± 1.4 nm, 40.01% and 41.71 emu/g, which can be recovered by magnetic separation. At 293 K, MPBNs could reduce the cesium ion solution from 40 mg/L to 4.8 mg/L, and its cesium ion removal rate and adsorption capacity were 82.46% and 16.49 mg/g, respectively. The optimum pH of MPBNs for cesium ion adsorption was 5~9, the adsorption equilibrium time was 60 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 17.03 mg/g. In addition, MPBNs were separated rapidly by an external magnetic field, and the adsorption process was an endothermic reaction. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of MPBNs were in accordance with the Freundlich model and quasi-second-order fitting model, respectively, and the adsorption process of MPBNs was controlled by the diffusion step in particles. Notably, these MPBNs could be effectively separated from water by a magnetic field, facilitating engineering applications in cesium-containing wastewater.

Abstract
A nanofiltration (NF) membrane containing a NaOH-treated electrospun polyacrylonitrile (HPAN) substrate, an interfacial polymerization (IP) polyamide (PA) layer, a chitosan (CS) coating layer, and an Ag/AgBr/AgVO3 photocatalyst loading layer was prepared. The structural evolution of the membranes was investigated, and their performance was estimated in accordance with the water flux and rejection rate. A probable mechanism for the photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgBr/AgVO3 was proposed. The loading of the Ag/AgBr/AgVO3 heterojunction on the HPAN/PA/CS NF membrane endowed the membrane with excellent self-cleaning properties owing to the photolytic degradation of the dye. The filtration and degradation processes of the Ag/AgBr/AgVO3-loaded membrane constantly promoted each other, and the treatment efficiency achieved with the integrated (filtration + degradation) process was superior to those obtained with the filtration and degradation processes alone. The Ag/AgBr/AgVO3-NF membrane exhibited excellent recyclability and stability when subjected to five integrated filtration-degradation processes. In addition, the Ag/AgBr/AgVO3-NF membrane exhibited an elastic modulus of 65.75 MPa and a toughness of 38.9 kJ/m3 along with a good disinfection effect on Escherichia coli in visible light. The as-prepared photocatalyst-loaded NF membrane with excellent antifouling performance, antimicrobial activity, high strength, and recyclability showed potential for continuous water purification operation.

Abstract
The metal hexacyanoferrates with transition metal ions to replace ferric ions in the face center cubic structure of Prussian blue (PB) crystals are candidate adsorbents for radioactive cesium ions in waters. This study for the first time synthesized the shape stable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels with immobilized metal hexacynoferrate (PB analogue) that can be stored at dry and can efficiently adsorb cesium ions from waters after rewetting. A total of eight PB analogue particles in two families M3[Fe(III)(CN)6]2 (MFe(III)) or M4[Fe(II)(CN)6]2 (MFe(II)) with M=Zn, Ni, Cu, or Co were synthesized and were immobilized in the PVA hydrogels following boric acid and sulfate crosslinking. The produced PVA-PB analogue hydrogels are all stable in shape after dry and rewet, and the rewet hydrogels can adsorb cesium ions from waters at much higher rates. As predicted by the diffusion-reaction model, the apparent reaction constants for cesium ion adsorption are 4.2×10-4 1/s, 3.4×10-4 1/s, 3.9×10-4 1/s, 4.1×10-4 1/s, 4.1×10-4 1/s, 3.8×10-4 1/s, 1.1×10-3 1/s, and 9.6×10-4 1/s, for ZnFe(III), ZnFe(II), NiFe(III), NiFe(II), CuFe(III), CuFe(II), CoFe(III), and CoFe(II), respectively. The corresponding maximum adsorption capacities based on Langmuir isotherm model at 25 °C are 232.6 mg/g, 389.0 mg/g, 193.9 mg/g, 256.8 mg/g, 388.2 mg/g, 395.1 mg/g, 297.3 mg/g, and 391.2 mg/g, respectively. The use of PVA-CoFe(III) is the candidate for enhanced Cs removal from waters comparing the use of other PB analogues as adsorbent.

Abstract
Advances in polymers have made significant contribution in diverse application oriented fields. Multidisciplinary applicability of polymers generates a range of strategies, which is pertinent in a wide range of fields. Blends of natural and synthetic polymers have spawned a different class of materials with synergistic effects. Specifically, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and alginate (AG) blends (PVAG) have demonstrated some promising results in almost every segment, ranging from biomedical to industrial sector. Combination of PVAG with other materials, immobilization with specific moieties and physical and chemical crosslinking could result in amendments in the structure and properties of the PVAG matrices. Here, we provide an overview of the recent developments in designing PVAG based matrix and complexes with their structural and functional properties. The article also provides a comprehensive outline on the applicability of PVAG matrix in wastewater treatment, biomedical, photocatalysis, food packaging, and fuel cells and sheds light on the challenges that need to be addressed. Finally, the review elaborates the future prospective of PVAG matrices in other unexplored fields like aircraft industry, nuclear science and space exploration.

Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is associated with the Guillain-Barré syndrome, and when non-vector congenital transmission occurs, fetal brain abnormalities are expected. After ZIKV infection, the blood, breast milk, and other body fluids contain low viral loads. Their detection is challenging as it requires the processing of larger input volumes of the clinical samples. Pre-enrichment is a valuable strategy to increase the analyte concentration. Therefore, the authors propose the use of a hierarchal composite polyaniline-(electrospun nanofiber) hydrogel mat (ENM) for the simultaneous enrichment and impedimetric sensing of ZIKV viral particles. The electrospinning conditions of polyvinyl alcohol and alginate, including blend formulation, were optimized through a factorial design. Disintegration and gelatinization were controlled via cross-linking to improve the hydrogel properties. Hierarchization was achieved by in situ chemical deposition of conductive polyaniline. The carboxyl groups of the ENM were used for the covalent immobilization of anti-ZIKV polyclonal antibodies used in the specific recognition of ZIKV within the medium of Vero cell culture. The specific capture and desorption of virions were studied at different pHs. ENMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and FTIR. Atomic force microscopy along with UV-vis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies was used to monitor the antibody immobilization, ZIKV capture, and elution processes. Our results show that 14.2 mg (0.25 cm3) of ENM can capture 38.7 ± 2.5 μg of ZIKV with a desorption rate of 99.97% (38.29 ± 2.7 μg ZIKV), which is reusable for at least three times. Therefore, the capture capacity (micrograms of ZIKV captured per milligram of ENM) of polyaniline-hierarchized mats was 2.72 μg ZIKV/mg. The impedance LOD value was determined to be 2.76 μg of ZIKV particles (approximately 6.6 × 103 PFU/mL). As a result, we present a fast small-scale purification system that can simultaneously monitor ZIKV electrochemically and optically.

Abstract
The use of electrochemistry is a promising approach for the treatment of direct osmosis concentrate that contains a high concentration of organic pollutants and has high osmotic pressure, to achieve the safe discharge of effluent. This work addresses, for the first time, this major environmental challenge using perforated aluminum electrodes mounted in an electrocoagulation–flotation cell (PA-ECF). The design of the experiments, the modeling, and the optimization of the PA-ECF conditions for the treatment of DO concentrate rich in Pb were explored using a central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Therefore, the CCD-RSM was employed to optimize and study the effect of the independent variables, namely electrolysis time (5.85 min to 116.15 min) and current intensity (0.09 A to 2.91 A) on Pb removal. Optimal values of the process parameters were determined as an electrolysis time of 77.65 min and a current intensity of 0.9 A. In addition to Pb removal (97.8%), energy consumption, electrode mass-consumed material, and operating cost were estimated as 0.0025 kWh/m3, 0.217 kg Al/m3, and 0.423 USD/m3, respectively. In addition, it was found that DO concentrate obtained from metallurgical wastewater can be recovered through PA-ECF (almost 94% Pb removal). This work demonstrated that the PA-ECF technique could became a viable process applicable in the treatment of DO concentrate containing Pb-rich for reuse.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) has been well known as a pigment crystal to selectively sequestrate the radioactive cesium ion released from aqueous solutions owing to PB cage size similar to the cesium ion. Because the small size of PB is hard to deal with, the adsorbents containing PB have been prepared in the form of composites causing low sequestration efficiency of cesium. In this study, securely anchored PB nanocrystals on the surface of millimeter-sized porous polyacrylamide (PAAm) spheres (PB@PAAm) have been prepared by the crystallization of PB on the Fe3+ adsorbed PAAm. The securely anchored PB nanocrystals have been demonstrated to be selective and efficient adsorbents for sequestration of the radioactive cesium. The well-interconnected-spherical pores and millimeter-sized diameter of the PB@PAAm adsorbents facilitated permeation of Cs+ into the adsorbent and ease of handling respectively. Especially the well-interconnected-spherical pores allowed that PB@PAAm showed 90% of its maximum Cs+ adsorption capacity within 30 min. The PB@PAAm showed an outstanding Cs+ capture ability of 374 mg/g, high removal efficiency of 85% even at low concentration of Cs+ (10 ng/L), and superior selectivity of Cs+ against interference ions of Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

Abstract
A new water treatment technology is presented for extending the longevity and increasing the maximal bio-load of container-bound, lucrative live seafood transportations. The technology is designed for removing ammonia and minimizing the bacterial concentration that develop in the water during the transport. This paper focuses on the characteristics of self-synthesized polyether-sulfone (PES) coated Zn-HCF composite beads, which have a high adsorbing capacity for NH4+ in seawater and constitute the heart of the developed technology. Adsorption isotherms show that the operational capacity of the composite material (PES = 20% w/w) at NH4+ concentration of 10 mgN/L at 3.5 °C is ∼3 mgN/g Zn-HCF. The kinetics of the PES-coated beads were shown to be considerably slower than the bare Zn-HCF, but since the retention time in the transport is long (many days), this does not detract from the effectiveness of the adsorption. Simulation experiments with and without live fish showed that the adsorbing material behaved as expected during a 21-d trip and that it did not have any effect on the fish. Repeated adsorption/regeneration (3 and 6 M NaCl) tests proved the composite material's stability and ion-exchange robustness. Electrooxidation of the ammonia in the exhausted regeneration solution was carried out with high efficiency and the treated solution could be used effectively in the following chemical regeneration step. The cost of a treatment unit installed in a 40-foot container was estimated at $40,000 and the ROI at 6 to 12 months.

Abstract
The past several decades have witnessed tremendous research to discover ways for controlling heavy metal pollution, but most of the strategies do not involve reuse of the captured heavy metals. Herein, we propose a graphene oxide -based strategy for the effective removal of Cu2+ ions from water, coupled with their reuse as an antibacterial agent. Using GO nanosheets as an adsorbent and nanosupport, the Cu2+ ions were effectively extracted from water (>99.9%) and reduced in situ to copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) containing both crystalline Cu and Cu2O. The as-captured Cu NPs showed efficient in vitro antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli, reducing the bacteria from 109 to 101 CFU mL-1 by using 1 mg mL-1 Cu NPs/GO NSs for 1 h. The minimum inhibitory concentration determined to be only 16 μg mL-1. For practical applications, Cu recovered from wastewater could reduce bacteria by 8 log CFU in 1 h. The recovered Cu was still able to reduce the bacteria by 7 log CFU after 2 months of storage in an argon atmosphere. This strategy of extracting heavy metals and subsequently reutilizing to kill bacteria will be of great significance for environmental remediation and public healthcare.

With the worsening water scarcity problem, seawater desalination has been receiving gradually increasing attention. Ion adsorptive desalination was introduced as one of the seawater desalination techniques. In our previous study, metal-organic framework (MOF)-incorporated single-network alginate (MOF-Alg(Cu)) beads were used to adsorb ions in seawater. In the present study, MOF-incorporated Cu-based alginate/PVA hydrogel (MOF-Alg(Cu)/PVA) beads were fabricated to enhance the ion adsorption desalination technique. Cu-based MOFs were successfully synthesized in situ on an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). Given that the IPN hydrogel beads have high stability, the amount of MOF particles extracted during the adsorption of ions is reduced. The fabricated MOF-Alg(Cu)/PVA beads exhibit efficient removal of dissolved ions in artificial seawater and NaCl solution with varied concentrations. The ion adsorption characteristics were evaluated on the basis of adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and dosage of adsorbent. The repeat cycle tests show that more than half of the ion removal efficiency was maintained after 10 cycle tests. The concentration of artificial seawater was reduced to 1500 ppm by employing MOF-Alg(Cu)/PVA beads through a multistage experiment. Compared with other seawater desalination techniques, the proposed adsorptive desalination technique using MOF-Alg(Cu)/PVA beads will pave the way for developing a new ecofriendly and energy-saving approach.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY 2020; 225:106374. [PMID: 33065426 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2020.106374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 06/25/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Laboratory scale sorption and desorption experiments were performed to investigate the cesium (Cs) removal efficiency of a bead-shaped polysulfone carrier containing HNO3-treated bamboo charcoal (BC). The average Cs removal efficiency of BC only and of polysulfone carrier without BC after 1 h sorption reaction was 53 and 18%, respectively. However, the Cs removal efficiency for the polysulfone carrier with 5% HNO3-treated BC (P-5N-BC) after 1 h and 24 h reaction was 66 and 98%, respectively. The Cs removal efficiency after 24 h reaction remained >85% over a wide range of pH and temperature conditions, suggesting that using P-5N-BC as the Cs adsorbent is feasible in a variety of aquatic environments. The maximum Cs sorption capacity (qm) of P-5N-BC, as calculated from a Langmuir isotherm model, was 60.9 mg/g, which is much higher than those of other adsorbents from previous studies for 1 h of sorption time. The Cs desorption rate of P-5N-BC for 24 h desorption time was <17%, showing that the Cs was stably enough attached to the HNO3-treated BC for long-term use. The results of continuous column experiments showed that the total amount of treated water from the column packed with P-5N-BC increased more than nine times when compared with that from the only BC-granule-packed column. The P-5N-BC maintained more than 68% Cs removal efficiency after 90 pore volumes of flushing, suggesting that only 15 g of P-5N-BC (with only 0.75 g of HNO3-treated BC) could clean 5 L of Cs-contaminated water (initial Cs concentration: 1.0 mg/L; effluent concentration: < 0.09 mg/L). The present results demonstrate that P-5N-BC has remarkable potential for removal of Cs from diverse water systems.

Abstract
This paper critically discusses the structure, properties and applications of ironmaking and steelmaking slags and their silicate-based variants as low-cost adsorbents for removing cations and anions from industrial effluents and wastewater. Undoubtedly, the performance of slag-based adsorbents depends on their physical, chemical and phase chemical properties. The presence of crystalline phases, for example, has a significant effect on the adsorption capacity. However, despite their low cost and ubiquity, their chemical and geometric heterogeneity significantly affects the performance and applications of slag-based adsorbents. These challenges notwithstanding, the efficacy of slag-based adsorbents can be significantly enhanced through purposeful activation to increase the specific surface area and density of adsorption sites on the surfaces of adsorbent particles. The synthesis of functionalised adsorbents such as geopolymers, zeolites and layered double hydroxides from silicate and aluminosilicate precursors can also significantly increase the performance of slag-based adsorbents. In addition, the ability to stabilise the dissolved and/or entrained toxic metal species in stable phases in slags, either through controlled post-process fluxing or crystallisation, can significantly enhance the environmental performance of slag-based adsorbents. Most critical in the design of future slag-based adsorbents is the integration of the engineered properties of molten and solidified slags to the recovery and stabilisation of dissolved and/or entrained metals.

Abstract
A novel, facilely prepared, recyclable sodium carboxymethyl cellulose-ammonium phosphomolybdate composite (CMC-AMP) was synthesized by chemical cross-linking and used for Cs+ removal. The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH value, initial Cs+ concentration, contact time, temperature and competitive ions on adsorption were investigated. The results showed that CMC-AMP with good mechanical properties could effectively adsorb Cs+ in a wide pH range. In addition, the adsorption process of CMC-AMP was better fitted with the Lagergren first-second model and Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, CMC-AMP can be reused five times using ammonium chloride as the eluent without an obvious decrease in absorption activity. The results reveal that CMC-AMP can be used as a low cost and recyclable Cs+ adsorbent.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination is one of the most important environmental issues. Therefore, appropriate steps need to be taken to reduce heavy metals and metalloids in water to acceptable levels. Several treatment methods have been developed recently to adsorb these pollutants. This paper reviews the ability of residuals generated as a by-product from the water treatment plants to adsorb heavy metals and metalloids from water. Water treatment residuals have great sorption capacities due to their large specific surface area and chemical composition. Sorption capacity is also affected by sorption conditions. A survey of the literature shows that water treatment residuals may be a suitable material for developing an efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals and metalloids from water.

Abstract
Cesium is a typical radioisotope that has a long half-life and is dangerous and can be emitted in the event of a nuclear accident. Prussian blue (PB), which is known to effectively adsorb cesium, is difficult to separate when it is dissolved in an aqueous system. In this study, PB was immobilized on a filter type support media, cellulose filter (CF), for use as a selective material for cesium adsorption. The commercially available CF was functionalized by the addition of acrylic acid (AA) (i.e., CF-AA) to enhance the PB immobilization, which increased both PB loading and binding strength. The AA functionalization changed the major functional groups from hydroxyl to carboxylic, as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. As a result of the surface modification, the PB immobilization increased 1.5 times and reduced detachment of PB during washing. The prepared adsorbent, CF-AA-PB, was tested for its cesium adsorption capability. Cesium adsorption equilibrated within 3 h, and the maximum cesium adsorption capacity was 16.66 mg/g. The observed decrease in the solution pH during cesium adsorption inhibited the overall cesium uptake; however, this was minimized by buffering. The prepared CF-AA-PB was used as a filter material and its potential use as a countermeasure for removing radioactive cesium from a contaminated water stream was demonstrated.

Abstract
A novel ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP)/ polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/ sodium alginate (SA) composite hydrogel (APS) was prepared for Cs+ removal and enrichment from radioactive wastewater. Batch experiments with the subject of AMP concentration, pH value, initial Cs+ concentration, contact time, temperature, competing ions were investigated. The results showed this APS hydrogel with high permeability and stability could effectively adsorb Cs+ at widely broad pH value range and low Cs+ concentration within a short time. Adsorption thermodynamic parameters indicated the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process, and the Lagergren pseudo-second order model was found to exhibit the best correlation with the adsorption results. Equilibrium data was better described by the Langmuir isotherm equation, and the maximum adsorption capacity of APS hydrogel calculated was in consistent with the experimental results. Furthermore, the APS hydrogel could be easily reused at least five times without obvious decrease in absorption activity and selectivity using ammonia nitrate as the eluent, and what's more, the Cs+ concentration in eluent was approximately concentrated for 2 times after single cycle. All the results suggest that the environmental friendly and low-cost APS hydrogel could be used as effective and selective material for Cs+ removal and enrichment from wastewater.

Abstract
Calcium alginate (CA) beads as a green sorbent were easily fabricated in this study using sodium alginate crosslinking with CaCl2, and the crosslinking pathway was the exchange between the sodium ion of α-L-guluronic acid and Ca(II). The experimental study was conducted on Cu(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) as the model heavy metals and the concentration was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The characterization and sorption behavior of the CA beads were analyzed in detail via using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption experiments demonstrated that the CA beads exhibited a high removal efficiency for the selective adsorption of Cu(II) from the tetra metallic mixture solution and an excellent adsorption capacity of the heavy metals separately. According to the isotherm studies, the maximum uptake of Cu(II) could reach 107.53 mg/g, which was significantly higher than the other three heavy metal ions in the tetra metallic mixture solution. Additionally, after five cycles of adsorption and desorption, the uptake rate of Cu(II) on CA beads was maintained at 92%. According to the properties mentioned above, this material was assumed to be applied to reduce heavy metal pollution or recover valuable metals from waste water.

Abstract
Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is a popular material used for phosphorus removal in recent years. In this work, a novel immobilized material, polyvinyl alcohol-CSH (PVA-CSH), was prepared using a 1:10 weight ratio of CSH powder to 8% PVA solution and then used for phosphorus removal. Samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption mechanism and practical application properties of phosphorus wastewater were studied by sequential batch and continuous flow experiment. The results showed PVA-CSH possessed a porous network structure and an average pore diameter of 24.94 ± 0.11 nm. Furthermore, the CSH functional groups were unaffected by PVA immobilization. Compared with CSH, PVA-CSH did not easily lose CSH after being immobilized by PVA, and the duration of efficient phosphorus removal stage was approximately 20 h longer than that of CSH. In addition, the effluent turbidity of PVA-CSH was 0.11 ± 0.03 NTU during the continuous operation period, which was significantly lower than CSH. In summary, this research study demonstrated the significant potential of PVA-CSH for practical phosphorus removal.

Abstract
High adsorption capacity, fast adsorption kinetics, good reusability and low cost are highly demanded for adsorbents used in practical adsorption process. In this study, a porous double network Jute/Polyacrylic acid (Jute/PAA) gel was prepared using simple free-radical polymerization of acrylic acid in Jute aqueous solution. The high permeability of Jute/PAA hydrogel with about 80 wt% water made internal adsorption sites fully expose to metal ions. The Jute/PAA gel adsorbent could efficiently adsorb heavy metals in melting wastewater, especially Cd2+ and Pb2+. The adsorbent showed very high adsorption capacities of 401.7 mg/g for Cd2+ and 542.9 mg/g for Pb2+. Moreover, the adsorption equilibrium reached within only 10 min for 40 mg/L of Cd2+ and Pb2+ using 1 g/L adsorbent. Meanwhile, the removal efficiencies reached 81.0% for Pb (C0 = 3.825 mg/L), 79.3% for Cd (C0 = 6.075 mg/L), 83.4% for Cu (C0 = 9.325 mg/L), 29.8% for Zn (C0 = 188.6 mg/L), 22.3% for Mn (C0 = 17.05 mg/L), 96.2% for Cr (C0 = 0.25 mg/L) and 99.8% for Fe (C0 = 9.75 mg/L) in melting wastewater using 1 g/L adsorbent in 2 h. In particular, the concentrations of Pb, Cd and Cr decreased below 0.001 mg/L using 4 g/L adsorbent. In the fixed-bed column experiments, the treatment volume of melting wastewater reached 2900 BV (32.8 L) only producing 50 BV (565 mL) eluent. This work develops a highly practical adsorption process based on hydrogel adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals in actual wastewater.

Abstract
Photosynthetic hydrogen production from organic wastewaters using immobilized mixed culture with photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) was studied. A PSB consortium was immobilized by alginate matrix to form granules. The so-yielded granules exhibited minimal diffusional resistances to substrates and to illumination penetration but still produced more hydrogen from synthetic wastewater than the free cells at identical experimental conditions. Optimal granule size, cell loadings, and cell ages for granules and the minimum substrate concentration and maximum illumination intensity requited to maximize hydrogen production were studied. The applied alginate matrix can provide shield to embedded cells from external challenges, likely the produced proton gradients from the surroundings.

Abstract
A novel microporous three-dimensional pomegranate-like micro-scavenger cage (P-MSC) composite has been synthesized by immobilization of iron phyllosilicates clay onto a Prussian blue (PB)/alginate matrix and tested for the removal of radioactive cesium from aqueous solution. Experimental results show that the adsorption capacity increases with increasing the inactive cesium concentration from 1 ppm to 30 ppm, which may be attributed to greater number of adsorption sites and further increase in the inactive cesium concentration has no effect. The P-MSC composite exhibit maximum adsorption capacity of 108.06 mg of inactive cesium per gram of adsorbent. The adsorption isotherm is better fitted to the Freundlich model than the Langmuir model. In addition, kinetics studies show that the adsorption process is consistent with a pseudo second-order model. Furthermore, at equilibrium, the composite has an outstanding adsorption capacity of 99.24% for the radioactive cesium from aqueous solution. This may be ascribed to the fact that the AIP clay played a substantial role in protecting PB release from the P-MSC composite by cross-linking with alginate to improve the mechanical stability. Excellent adsorption capacity, easy separation, and good selectivity make the adsorbent suitable for the removal of radioactive cesium from seawater around nuclear plants and/or after nuclear accidents.

Abstract
In this study, a new type of double-network hydrogel sorbent was developed to remove heavy metals in wastewater. The amino-functionalized Starch/PAA hydrogel (NH2-Starch/PAA) could be conducted in a wide pH and the adsorption process could rapidly achieve the equilibrium. The adsorption capacity got to 256.4mg/g for Cd(II). Resultantly, even though Cd(II) concentration was as high as 180mg/L, the Cd(II) could be entirely removed using 1g/L sorbent. Furthermore, the desirable mechanical durability of the adsorbent allowed easy separation and reusability. In the fixed-bed column experiments, the treatment volume of the effluent with a high Cd(II) concentration of 200mg/L reached 2400BV (27.1L) after eight times cycle. The NH2-Starch/PAA overcame the deficiency of conventional sorbents that could not effectively treat the wastewater with relatively high metal concentrations. This work provides a new insight into omnidirectional enhancement of sorbents for removing high-concentration heavy metals in wastewater.
