Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) particles are one of the most promising adsorbents for removing organic contaminants from wastewater. However, powder-type MOF particles face challenges in terms of utilization and recovery. In this study, a novel bead-type adsorbent was prepared using activated carbon based on the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (AC-ZIF-8) and a regenerated cellulose hydrogel for dye removal. AC-ZIF-8 particles with a large surface area were obtained by carbonization and chemical activation with KOH. The AC-ZIF-8 powders were efficiently immobilized in hydrophilic cellulose hydrogel beads via cellulose dissolution/regeneration. The prepared AC-ZIF-8/cellulose hydrogel (AC-ZIF-8/CH) composite beads exhibit a large specific surface area of 1412.8 m2/g and an excellent maximum adsorption capacity of 565.13 mg/g for Rhodamine B (RhB). Moreover, the AC-ZIF-8/CH beads were effective over a wide range of pH, temperatures and for different types of dyes. These composite beads also offer economic benefits through desorption of dyes for recycling. The AC-ZIF-8/CH beads can be produced in substantial amounts and used as fillers in a fixed-bed column system, which can purify the continuous inflow of dye solutions. These findings suggest that our simple approach for preparing high-performance adsorbent beads will broaden the application of dye adsorbents, oil-water separation, and catalysts.

Abstract
Adsorption is one of the most efficient methods for remediating industrial recalcitrant wastewater due to its simple design and low investment cost. However, the conventional adsorbents used in adsorption have several limitations, including high cost, low removal rates, secondary waste generation, and low regeneration ability. Hence, the focus of the research has shifted to developing alternative low-cost green adsorbents from renewable resources such as biomass. In this regard, the recent progress in the modification of biomass-derived adsorbents, which are rich in cellulosic content, through a variety of techniques, including chemical, physical, and thermal processes, has been critically reviewed in this paper. In addition, the practical applications of raw and modified biomass-based adsorbents for the treatment of industrial wastewater are discussed extensively. In a nutshell, the adsorption mechanism, particularly for real wastewater, and the effects of various modifications on biomass-based adsorbents have yet to be thoroughly studied, despite the extensive research efforts devoted to their innovation. Therefore, this review provides insight into future research needed in wastewater treatment utilizing biomass-based adsorbents, as well as the possibility of commercializing biomass-based adsorbents into viable products.

Abstract
The presence of stable and hazardous organic dyes in industrial effluents poses significant risks to both public health and the environment. Activated carbons and biochars are widely used adsorbents for removal of these pollutants, but they often have several disadvantages such as poor recoverability and inseparability from water in the post-adsorption process. Incorporating a magnetic component into activated carbons can address these drawbacks. This study aims to optimizing the production of NiFe2O4-loaded activated carbon (NiFe2O4@AC) derived from a Bidens pilosa biomass source through a hydrothermal method for the adsorption of Rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO), and methyl red (MR) dyes. Response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken design (BBD) were applied to analyze the key synthesis factors such as NiFe2O4 loading percentage (10-50%), hydrothermal temperature (120-180 °C), and reaction time (6-18 h). The optimized condition was found at a NiFe2O4 loading of 19.93%, a temperature of 135.55 °C, and a reaction time of 16.54 h. The optimum NiFe2O4@AC demonstrated excellent sorption efficiencies of higher than 92.98-97.10% against all three dyes. This adsorbent was characterized, exhibiting a well-developed porous structure with a high surface area of 973.5 m2 g-1. Kinetic and isotherm were studied with the best fit of pseudo-second-order, and Freundlich or Temkin. Qmax values were determined to be 204.07, 266.16, and 177.70 mg g-1 for RhB, MO, and MR, respectively. By selecting HCl as an elution, NiFe2O4@AC could be efficiently reused for at least 4 cycles. Thus, the Bidens pilosa-derived NiFe2O4@AC can be a promising material for effective and recyclable removal of dye pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is an excellent alternative of fossil source because it is low-cost, plentiful and environmentally friendly, and it can be transformed into biogas, bio-oil and biochar through pyrolysis; thereby, the three types of pyrolytic products can be upgraded or improved to satisfy the standard of biofuel, chemicals and energy materials for industries. The bio-oil derived from direct pyrolysis shows some disadvantages: high contents of oxygenates, water and acids, easy-aging and so forth, which restrict the large-scale application and commercialization of bio-oil. Catalytic pyrolysis favors the refinement of bio-oil through deoxygenation, cracking, decarboxylation, decarbonylation reactions and so on, which could occur on the specified reaction sites. Therefore, the catalytic pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising approach for the production of high quality and renewable biofuels. This review gives information about the factors which might determine the catalytic pyrolysis output, including the properties of biomass, operational parameters of catalytic pyrolysis and different types of pyrolysis equipment. Catalysts used in recent research studies aiming to explore the catalytic pyrolysis conversion of biomass to high quality bio-oil or chemicals are discussed, and the current challenges and future perspectives for biomass catalytic pyrolysis are highlighted for further comprehension.

Abstract
The demands for fruits and processed products have significantly increased following the surging human population growth and rising health awareness. However, an enormous amount of fruit waste is generated during their production life-cycle due to the inedible portion and perishable nature, which become a considerable burden to the environment. Embracing the concept of "circular economy", these fruit wastes represent sustainable and renewable resources and can be integrated into biorefinery platforms for valorization into a wide range of high-value products. To fully realize the potential of fruit waste in circular bioeconomy and provide insights on future commercial-scale applications, this review presented the recycling and utilization of fruit wastes in various applications, particularly focusing on pollutant bioremediation, renewable energy and biofuel production, biosynthesis of bioactive compounds and low-cost microbial growth media. Furthermore, the challenges of efficient valorization of fruit wastes were discussed and future prospects were proposed.

Abstract
The increasing diesel pollution accidents pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Remediation of diesel-contaminated soil (DCS) has attracted widespread attention during the past few decades. This work proposed an approach for the remediation of DCS by alkoxyethanol aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE), which was an application of this small molecule aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). In addition, the influence of temperature, stirring speed, stirring time, and solid-liquid ratio on the removal of diesel was explored respectively. The removal efficiency of diesel could reach more than 97.18% in 18 min. Meanwhile, ATPS had high reusability, and the removal efficiency remained above 85.17% in the reuse process. Alkoxyethanol ATPE could effectively remove diesel hydrocarbons with different carbon chain lengths and the remediation process hardly caused residual organic solvents on the soil surface according to the analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), which could be regarded as the distinct advantage compared to the traditional surfactant washing method and organic solvent extraction method. The study of soil physicochemical properties and wheat germination proved that the soil structure and properties changed little after ATPE remediation. And finally, the mechanism of alkoxyethanol ATPE was intensively discussed according to the remediation characteristic. This work provided an efficient method for the remediation of DCS and widened the application fields of alkoxyethanol ATPS as well.

Abstract
Magnetic carbon-supported metal nickel has been successfully synthesized by solvothermal method and heat treatment for highly effective adsorption of various reactive dyes. Structure characterization and composition analysis demonstrated that the metal nickel nanoparticles with the size of 1-2 nm were embedded into the pore of carbon spheres. It is helpful to prevent the agglomeration and falling off of metal nickel nanoparticles on the surface of carbon spheres. The adsorption performance of the carbon-supported metal nickel nanospheres for reactive brilliant yellow R-4GLN was studied by changing the pH value and initial concentration of the solution, adsorption time, adsorption temperature, and the amount of adsorbent. The carbon-supported metal nickel showed fast and efficient adsorption activity. After 5 min of adsorption, the removal efficiency of 10 mL 25 mg·mL-1 reactive brilliant yellow R-4GLN was close to 100%. The carbon-supported metal nickel composite was reused 20 times, and the removal efficiency of dye remained above 98%. It also showed good adsorption performance on various reactive dyes with wide universality, which has a certain adsorption effect on most dyes with a high utilization value in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Pure water is one of the major requirements for living beings but water bodies are contaminated with toxic pollutants and heavy metals. Around 225–500 million people on the earth depend on groundwater, which is highly contaminated by arsenic. Arsenic impurities are present in water as arsenite As(iii) and arsenate As(v). Arsenic is a highly toxic metalloid ranking one in toxicity. Researchers have been exploring new techniques and methods to purify water. Magnetic nanoparticles have high absorption and reaction capabilities due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and quantum size effects. Due to their high magnetization, adsorption behaviour, and biodegradability, magnetite nanomaterials are considered excellent materials to purify water. These nanomaterials and their composites are cost-effective as well as they can be easily separated, regenerated, and reused. This review gives a recent overview of the potential of magnetite nanoparticles and their composites to treat contaminated water and remove unwanted arsenic impurities. Pure water is one of the major requirements for living beings but water bodies are contaminated with toxic pollutants and heavy metals.![]()

Abstract
A process of antibiotic fermentation residue and sludge pyrolysis to produce biochar was proposed, with antibiotic resistance genes destruction and biochar application in the adsorption of penicillin in water. The results showed that the β-lactam resistance genes were completely destroyed during pyrolysis. The prepared biochar from antibiotic fermentation residues (AFRB) and sludge (AFSB) at 800 °C and 600 °C had a good adsorption effect on the low concentration penicillin in water, with removal efficiencies of 93.32% and 98.50% for penicillin in aqueous solution and maximum adsorption capacities of 44.05 mg/g and 23.26 mg/g, respectively. Characterization of AFRB revealed that its surface was predominantly aromatic carbon, AFSB contained significant amounts of Fe3O4. Weak interactions (H‧‧‧π, H‧‧‧O˭C, π-π interactions) and active sites (aromatic ring, H and -C˭O groups) of penicillin with aromatic structures on AFRB and the chemisorption (-C˭O-Fe-, -C˭OO-Fe-), and active sites (-C˭O, -COO- groups) of penicillin on the (110) surface of Fe3O4 on AFSB were revealed by quantum chemical methods. This work provides a novel pathway for the risk reduction of antibiotic production residue and sludge associated with the generation of biochar for antibiotic removal from the environment.

Abstract
To utilize carbon source and decompose the petroleum hydrocarbon substances simultaneously, adding the electrolysis to ozonation (E+-Ozonation) was employed to deal with hazardous activated petroleum waste sludge (P-sludge). It was found that E+-Ozonation could accelerate the ozone utilization and hydroxyl radical (·OH) generation rate. Soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) increased around 16.3 times than the control one (from 471 to 7700 mg/L). The potential carbon source, such as the short-chain carbon of acetate and propionate, increased from 50 to 1088 mg/L and from 27 to 614 mg/L respectively, and approximately accounted for a quarter of total SCOD. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) decomposition was observed with a much higher removal rate of 84.3% simultaneously, and the substances with the function group of C=C and C-C bonds decomposed greatly. The long- and medium-chain substances in TPH were converted into the short-chain substances (90% of C28-C40 of hydrocarbons was removed, while C10-C18 increased by 13.8%). E+-Ozonation process could be one of the promising methods for P-sludge decomposition through carbon source releasing and TPH removal.

Turning waste into treasure: Reuse of contaminant-laden adsorbents (Cr(vi)-Fe 3O 4/C) as anodes with high potassium-storage capacity. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 582:1107-1115.

Abstract
In this study, we try to find possible solutions to synchronously solving energy and environmental problems. In our design, orange peel is used as a carbon source to synthesize low-cost Fe3O4/C composites, which are employed as adsorbents to purify Cr(vi)-contaminated water. After that, these Cr(vi)-laden Fe3O4/C composites are used and tested as anodes in potassium-ion batteries. It is found that their K-storage capacity is more than 300 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1, depending on the mass content of Fe3O4. The more Fe3O4 component in composite, the more adsorbed Cr(vi) species through chemisorption, and the larger K-storage capacity. The good electrical conductivity of cabon-based anodes endows them with superior rate performance. At current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2 A g-1, K-storage capacity amounts to 357.8, 316.3, 276.3 and 236.8 mAh g-1, respectively. The reuse of contaminant-laden adsorbents as anodes will shed new light on the disposal of exhausted adsorbents after water treatment and development of anode materials for secondary batteries.

Abstract
Biochar is a carbon-rich product obtained from the thermo-chemical conversion of biomass. Studying the evolution properties of biochar by in-situ modification or post-modification is of great significance for improving the utilisation value of lignocellulosic biomass. In this paper, the production methods of biochar are reviewed. The effects of the biomass feedstock characteristics, production processes, reaction conditions (temperature, heating rate, etc.) as well as in-situ activation, heteroatomic doping, and functional group modification on the physical and chemical properties of biochar are compared. Based on its unique physicochemical properties, recent research advances with respect to the use of biochar in pollutant adsorbents, catalysts, and energy storage are reviewed. The relationship between biochar structure and its application are also revealed. It is suggested that a more effective control of biochar structure and its corresponding properties should be further investigated to develop a variety of biochar for targeted applications.

Abstract
To increase the performance efficiency and decrease the costs for organic dye wastewater purification, two fibrous adsorbents based on polymeric salicyl active esters were developed by means of a simple two-step approach. For the first time, salicyl-based active ester polymers were electrospun into fibrous membranes and subsequently postmodified with the desired functional groups under simple and mild reaction conditions. The morphology of the produced fibrous adsorbents was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the surface properties were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and contact angle measurements, and the completeness of the postmodification process was determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and elemental analyses. The adsorbents were further tested for their adsorption and selectivity performance of different organic dyes as well as for their recyclability. To explore the adsorption mechanism, four kinetic models and three isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption data. The results indicated that the fibrous adsorbents showed an extremely high adsorption capacity for the anionic dye methyl blue. The fibrous adsorbents were also able to selectively adsorb anionic dyes from a mixture of anionic and cationic dyes, and they could be recycled at least 10 times. The simple and cost-efficient development process of these fibrous adsorbents and their excellent performance make them promising materials for further research and application in the area of water treatment.

Abstract
Magnetic carbonaceous nanomaterials are needed in water treatment applications because they can offer both carbon surfaces for sorption of organic pollutants and ease of material magnetic retrieval for regeneration and reuse. In this study, we employed a facile one-step method to synthesize a black carbon-magnetite composite (BC-Mag) by high-temperature annealing of black carbon and hematite. The nanocomposite was easily dispersed and stable in water owing to the presence of negatively charged oxygen surface functional groups. Sorption kinetics with dissolved carbamazepine showed a rapid initial uptake with equilibrium achieved within only minutes. The sorption extent can be described with the Freundlich model, and surface area normalized sorption affinity was an order of magnitude greater than conventional granular activated carbon. The sorption extent of neutral carbamazepine remained constant between pH 2–10 while surface zeta potential decreased. BC-Mag can be reused for the sorption of carbamazepine up to six times without significant loss of the sorption extent.

Abstract
The LaFeO3 perovskite oxide decorated active carbon fibers (LFO-ACFs) based on cotton fabric waste were successfully synthesized through sol-gel loading and thermal treatment. LaFeO3 perovskite and cotton fabric waste were combined to an eco-friendly and cheap adsorbent, which could reuse the leftover materials of textile industry and realize their functional modification. The structural, morphology/microstructure and functional groups were investigated through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The XRD pattern suggested the cotton fabric matrix didn't influence the structure of LaFeO3 perovskite oxide. In SEM studies, LFO-ACFs still maintained fibrous shape of the raw cotton fibers, and the EDX analysis showed that the main elements of the prepared LFO-ACFs were La, Fe, O and C. The synthesized LFO-ACF was employed for adsorption of cational dye of Rhodamine B (RhB), and the effects of adsorption parameters, i.e. pH, contact time, solution temperature and initial concentration of dye, on adsorption behavior were investigated. Results suggested the adsorption performance of LFO-ACF for RhB was nearly not affected by solution pH and its maximum adsorption capacity fitted by the Langmuir isothermal model could attain 182.6 mg/g at 293 K. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order equation and the regeneration of LFO-ACF could be well realized through an easy pyrolysis method.

Abstract
Petroleum-contaminated soil (PCS) caused by the accidental release of crude oil into the environment, which occurs frequently during oil exploitation worldwide, needs efficient and cost-effective remediation. In this study, a fast pyrolysis technology was implemented to remediate the PCS and concurrently recover the oil. The remediation effect related to pyrolytic parameters, the recovery rate of oil and its possible formation pathway, and the physicochemical properties of the remediated PCS and its suitability for planting were systematically investigated. The results show that 50.9% carbon was recovered in oil, whose quality even exceeds that of crude oil. Both extractable total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and water-soluble organic matter (SOM) in PCS were completely removed at 500 °C within 30 min. The remaining carbon in remediated PCS was determined to be in a stable and innocuous state, which has no adverse effect on wheat growth. On the basis of the systematically characterizations of initial PCS and pyrolytic products, a possible thermochemical mechanism was proposed which involves evaporation, cracking and polymerization. In addition, the energy consumption analysis and remediation effect of various PCSs indicate that fast pyrolysis is a viable and cost-effective method for PCS remediation.
