Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131013. [PMID: 38527681 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Melanoidins are widely present in molasses wastewater and are dark-colored macromolecules that are hazardous to the environment. Currently, adsorption methods can effectively remove melanoidins from wastewater. However, existing adsorbents have shown unsatisfactory removal efficiency for melanoidins, making practical application challenging. Polyethylene glycol crosslinked modified chitosan/halloysite nanotube composite aerogel microspheres (PCAM@HNTs) were developed as a highly efficient adsorbent for melanoidins. The removal rate of PCAM@HNTs for melanoidins was 98.53 % at adsorbent dosage 0.4 mg/mL, pH 7, temperature 303 K and 450 mg/L initial melanoidins concentration, and the corresponding equilibrium adsorption capacity was 1108.49 mg/g. The analysis results indicate that the adsorption of melanoidins by PCAM@HNTs is a spontaneous and endothermic process. It fits well with pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the Freundlich isotherm equation. The adsorption of PCAM@HNT on melanoidins is primarily attributed to electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, PCAM@HNTs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and are nonhazardous. Therefore, PCAM@HNTs proved to be an ideal adsorbent for the decolorization of molasses wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 461:132633. [PMID: 37776775 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Water contamination caused by discharge of spent washes containing colorants remains controversial. In this study, rosin-derived strongly basic macroporous anion-adsorption resin (RSBMAR) was designed as an advanced adsorbent for scavenging caramel, the most recalcitrant colorant in spent washes. Toxicity tests suggest that RSBMAR is environmentally friendly and hardly threatens aquatic organisms. RSBMAR exhibits outstanding caramel capture efficiency because of its rich target quaternary ammonium (-R4N+) and protonated tertiary amine (-R3NH+) groups, abundant porous structure, large specific surface area, excellent thermal stability, and good sphericity. The caramel adsorption capacity of RSBMAR was 165.86 mg/g and the decolorization efficiency reached 96.75%. After five cycles, the spent RSBMAR maintained a high decolorization rate, indicating excellent renewability. Multiple characterizations indicated that caramel capture was largely mediated by charge interaction between -R4N+/-R3NH+ (RSBMAR) and -RCOO-/-RCOOH (caramel), followed by H-bonds. Quantum chemical theory simulations, including electrostatic potential, local ionization energy, frontier molecular orbitals, and independent gradient model analyses, further visualized caramel capture mechanisms at atomic level. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that RSBMAR acts as both an H-bond donor and acceptor during caramel uptake. Dynamic adsorption was performed to treat real wastewater, laying the foundation for the industrial application of RSBMAR.

Abstract
The environmental pollution and human health impacts associated with the discharge of massive dye-containing effluents necessitate a search for cost-effective treatment technology. Therefore, this research work is conducted with the objective of investigating the potential of Rumex abyssinicus-derived activated carbon (RAAC) for the adsorption of Brilliant Blue Reactive (BBR) dye from aqueous solutions. Chemical activation with H3PO4 followed by pyrolysis was used to prepare the adsorbent. Characterization of the developed adsorbent was done using proximate analysis, pH point of zero charge (pHpzc), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The experimental design and the effect of independent variables including pH (2, 6, and 10), initial dye concentration (50, 100, and 150 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 g/100 mL), and contact time (20, 50, and 80 min) were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with Box Behnken design (BBD). The analysis results revealed the exitance of high specific surface area of 524 m2/g, morphological cracks, and the presence of multiple functional groups like -OH, C=C, alkene, and amorphous structure. Maximum removal efficiency of 99.98% was attained at optimum working conditions of pH 2, contact time of 50 min, dye concentration of 100 mg/L, and adsorbent dosage of 0.15 mg/100 mL, reducing the pollutant concentration from 100 to 0.02 mg/L. Evaluation of the experimental data was done using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Sips isotherm models, in which the Langmuir model was found to be the best fit with the experimental data at R2 0.986. This shows that the adsorbent surface is homogeneous and mono-layered. Furthermore, the kinetic study confirmed that the pseudo second-order model best describes the experimental data with R2 = 0.999. In general, the research work showed that the low cost, environmental friendliness and high adsorption capabilities of the activated carbon derived from Rumex abyssinicus could be taken as an effective nt for the removal of BBR dye from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Environment-benign synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) are of great importance. Plant-based polyphenols (PPs) are electron donor analytes for the synthesis of metal and metal oxide NPs. This work produced and investigated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) from PPs of tea leaves of Camellia sinensis var. assamica for Cr(VI) removal. The conditions for IONPs synthesis were using RSM CCD and found to be optimum at a time of 48 min, temperature of 26 °C, and iron precursors/leaves extract ratio (v/v) of 0.36. Further, these synthesized IONPs at a dosage of 0.75 g/L, temperature of 25 °C, and pH 2 achieved a maximum of 96% Cr(VI) removal from 40 mg/L of Cr(VI) concentration. The exothermic adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model, and Langmuir isotherm estimated a remarkable maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) of 1272 mg g-1 of IONPs. The proposed mechanistic for Cr(VI) removal and detoxification involved adsorption and its reduction to Cr(III), followed by Cr(III)/Fe(III) co-precipitation.

Abstract
Melanoidins are hazardous dark-coloured substances contained in molasses-based distillery wastewater. Adsorption is an effective approach to eliminate melanoidins from wastewater. However, melanoidin adsorption capacities of available adsorbents are unsatisfactory, which seriously limits their practical application. A hyperbranched polyethyleneimine-functionalised chitosan aerogel (HPCA) was fabricated as an effective adsorbent for melanoidin scavenging. HPCA demonstrated superior melanoidin adsorption efficiency because of its high specific surface area, abundant amino functional groups, and high hydrophilicity. Melanoidin removal rate of HPCA was 94.95%, which remained at 91.45% after 5 cycles. Notably, using the Langmuir isothermal model, the maximum melanoidin adsorption capacity of HPCA was determined to be 868.36 mg/g, surpassing those of most of previously reported adsorbents. Toxicity experiments indicated that HPCA can be considered a safe adsorbent with excellent biocompatibility that hardly threatens aquatic organisms. The efficient melanoidin removal of HPCA was attributed to electrostatic attraction, H-bonding, and van der Waals force. However, the adsorption might be predominantly controlled by electrovalent interaction between protonated amino groups of HPCA and carboxyl/carboxylate groups of melanoidins. Two novel models, namely, external diffusion resistance-internal diffusion resistance mixed model and adsorption on active site model, were employed to describe the dynamic mass transfer characteristics of melanoidin adsorption by HPCA.

Abstract
The crucial need for quality refined sugar has led to the development of advanced adsorbents, with a focus on the decolorization of remelt syrup. In this study, (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride and polyethyleneimine co-modified pomelo peel cellulose-derived aerogel (CP-PPA) was fabricated, and synthetic melanoidins were used as model colorants of remelt syrup to evaluate the validity and practicality of CP-PPA for eliminating colored impurities. Integrating abundant amine-functionalized groups (quaternary ammonium and protonated amine) within the pomelo peel-derived aerogel directionally captured electronegative melanoidins via electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the active sites, types, and relative strength of the weak interactions between CP-PPA and melanoidins were determined using density functional theory simulations. CP-PPA exhibited an excellent equilibration adsorbing capacity for capturing melanoidins of 749.51 mg/g, and a removal efficiency of 93.69 %. Additionally, the adsorption mechanism was thoroughly examined in an effort to improve the economy of the sugar refinement industry.

Abstract
The growth-associated metabolites are produced during the exponential phase; however, this phase terminates due to substrate depletion or product inhibition. In the present study, a semicontinuous mode with a fill-and-draw strategy was applied to extend the exponential phase of the biosurfactant production to overcome the product inhibition and in turn, enhance the yield. Bioreactor studies were performed in batch mode, followed by the semicontinuous operation. A potential biosurfactant producer Bacillus subtilis RSL2 was used in this study at the previously optimized conditions of pH 6.6, temperature 41 °C and 5% (w/v) of molasses. A better mass transfer was achieved in the bioreactor as compared to the shake flask study. In the batch bioreactor study, 90% of sugar was utilized with simultaneous 13.7 g L-1 of biosurfactant production. The sugar utilization was further improved to > 98% in the case of semicontinuous operation employing a fill-and-draw strategy. The exponential phase got extended up to 18 days and a total of 13 L of media was fed in the semicontinuous operation of 21 days as compared to 1.5 L of working volume in the batch reactor. The biosurfactant yield was enhanced by 1.5 folds and was found to be 0.97 g g-1. The produced biosurfactant was identified as a lipopeptide. The interfacial properties of the biosurfactant along with colloidal and thermal stability have been investigated. The critical micelle concentration of the produced biosurfactant was 70 mg L-1. The present study highlighted the efficient utilization of molasses for the production of biosurfactant, an alternative metabolite, in a semicontinuous mode of bioreactor.

Abstract
We report the genome assembly of P. cochinchinensis, as the first high-quality chromosome-level genome of Phyllanthaceae which is rich in medicinal plants. Phyllanthus cochinchinensis, a member of the Phyllanthaceae, is one of the famous medicinal plants in South China. Here, we report a de novo chromosome-level genome assembly for P. cochinchinensis using a combination of Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies. In total, the assembled genome consists of 284.88 Mb genomic sequences with a contig N50 of 10.32 Mb, representing ~ 95.49% of the estimated genome size. By applying Hi-C data, 13 pseudochromosomes of P. cochinchinensis were constructed, covering ~ 99.87% of the assembled sequences. The genome is annotated with 59.12% repetitive sequences and 20,836 protein-coding genes. Whole-genome duplication of P. cochinchinensis is likely shared with Ricinus communis as well as Vitis vinifera. Homologous genes within the flavonoid pathway for P. cochinchinensis were identified and copy numbers and expression level of related genes revealed potential critical genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis. This study provides the first whole-genome sequence for the Phyllanthaceae, confirms the evolutionary status of Phyllanthus from the genomic level, and provides foundations for accelerating functional genomic research of species from Phyllanthus.

Abstract
Although several green methods for the preparation of biomass adsorbents have been proposed, the low adsorption performance of the biomass adsorbents prepared by these methods has limited the development of this technological route. This is the first work that uses an ultrasound-assisted binary solvent system and low temperature ice crystal fixation to achieve high adsorption performance of a biomass sorbent. Chestnut thorns shell (CTS) sorbent with high adsorption performance on MB was successfully prepared with an adsorption performance of 305.81 mg/g, which is on par with most high temperature carbonized adsorbents. Further reaction kinetics, TEM, XPS and FTIR studies showed that the MB adsorption of CTS was through electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole interaction and π-π interaction. After five cycles, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent remained at a high level. This work provided an effective strategy for safer and greener preparation of high adsorption performance adsorbents from agroforestry waste.

Pb(II) and Cd(II) from the aqueous solution using adsorption methodology. Further, to elucidate the adsorption potential of Phyllanthus emblica fruit stone (PEFS), effective parameters, such as contact time, initial metal concentration, temperature, etc., were investigated and optimized using a simple batch adsorption method. It was observed that 80% removal for both the heavy metal ions was carried out within 60 min of contact time at an optimized pH 6. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters results indicated that the adsorption process in the present study was endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible in nature. The positive value of entropy further reflects the high adsorbent-adsorbate interaction. Thus, based on the findings obtained, it can be concluded that the biosorbent may be considered a potential material for the remediation of these noxious impurities and can further be applied or extrapolated to other impurities.
