Abstract
The importance of environmental issues and the existence of humans have led to the recognition of environmental concerns as the main risk to modern life. Notably, one major concern for protecting and managing the environment and human health is the presence of dyes in wastewater. Therefore, before discharging wastewater into mainstream water, it is crucial to remove dyes. Among all lignocellulosic materials, lignin is a highly fragrant biopolymer. Its abundant availability, complex structure, and numerous functional moieties, including hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic, are used in different chemicals and applications. Based on this, lignin is a very useful green material for adsorption, specifically in removing both heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater. This article describes the use of lignin-based adsorbents as a recent breakthrough in the removal of dye from aqueous solutions. On the other hand, the review intends to encourage readers to study both established and novel avenues in lignin-based dye removal materials.

One stone, two birds: An eco-friendly aerogel based on waste pomelo peel cellulose for the efficient adsorption of dyes and heavy metal ions. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132875. [PMID: 38852718 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132875] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
To achieve the objective of "waste control by waste", in this study, a green aerogel adsorbent comprised of pomelo-peel cellulose and sodium alginate (PCC/SA) was prepared through dual-network crosslinking. The resulting 3D hierarchical porous structured PCC/SA aerogel exhibited good structural stability, and kept the morphological integrity during 10 days in a wide pH range (2-10), suggesting its potential for recycling in diverse complex environments. Besides, the superior adsorption capacities for methylene blue (MB) and Cu(II) were observed, with the qm values and adsorption equilibrium times were recorded to be 1299.59 mg/g (300 min) and 287.55 mg/g (120 min), correspondingly. Furthermore, the favorable reusability of the PCC/SA aerogel was also demonstrated, with the removal efficiency for MB remaining almost unchanged (about 94 %) after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles, while there was a slight reduction for Cu(II) from 85.28 % to 72.47 %. XPS and FTIR analysis revealed that electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, cation exchange and coordination were the major adsorption mechanisms. Importantly, the PCC/SA aerogel can be naturally degraded in soil within 10 weeks. Therefore, the as-prepared aerogel bead derived from pomelo peel shows great promise as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment containing dye and heavy metal ions.

Abstract
To rapidly remove dyes from wastewater, iron-based metal-organic frameworks modified with phenolated lignin (NH2-MIL@L) were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. Analyses of the chemical structure and adsorption mechanism of the NH2-MIL@L proved the successful introduction of lignin and the enhancement of its adsorption sites. Compared with NH2-MIL-101-Fe without phenolated lignin, the modification with lignin increased the methyl orange (MO) adsorption rate of NH2-MIL@L. For the best adsorbent, NH2-MIL@L4, the MO adsorption efficiency in MO solution reached 95.09% within 5 min. NH2-MIL@L4 reached adsorption equilibrium within 90 min, exhibiting an MO adsorption capacity of 195.31 mg/g. The process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Dubinin-Radushkevich model. MO adsorption efficiency of NH2-MIL@L4 was maintained at 89.87% after six adsorption-desorption cycles. In mixed solutions of MO and methylene blue (MB), NH2-MIL@L4 achieved an MO adsorption of 94.02% at 5 min and reached MO adsorption equilibrium within 15 min with an MO adsorption capacity of 438.6 mg/g, while the MB adsorption equilibrium was established at 90 min with an MB adsorption rate and capacity of 95.60% and 481.34 mg/g, respectively. NH2-MIL@L4 sustained its excellent adsorption efficiency after six adsorption-desorption cycles (91.2% for MO and 93.4% for MB). The process of MO adsorption by NH2-MIL@L4 followed the Temkin model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, while MB adsorption followed the Dubinin-Radushkevich model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and synergistic interactions affected the MO adsorption process of NH2-MIL@L4.

Abstract
Dyes pollution is well known for their hazardous impacts on human health and the environment. The removal of dyes from wastewater has become an important issue. In this study, magnetic micrometer-sized particles AL-CTS@MNPs were synthesized from alkaline lignin (AL) and chitosan (CTS) by "one-pot method". The adsorbent presented higher selectivity adsorption effect on anionic dyes than amphoteric and cationic dyes, and even no adsorption effect on cationic methylene blue (MB), which showed that the anionic dyes could be better separated from the other two types of dyes. The adsorption isotherms of the dyes were highly consistent with the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 329.50 mg/g for methyl orange (MO) and 20.00 mg/g for rhodamine B (RhB). AL-CTS@MNPs showed good adsorption of anionic dyes (MO) in the pH range of 3-9. Meanwhile, the adsorbent AL-CTS@MNPs were also characterized, showing rough surface with specific surface areas of 37.38 m2/g, pore diameter of 95.8 nm and porosity of 17.62 %. The particle sizes were ranged from 800 μm to 1300 μm. The electrostatic attraction and π-π* electron donor-acceptor interactions were the main forces between the adsorbent and anionic dyes. While the electrostatic repulsive force between the adsorbent and the cationic dyes resulted in the non-absorption of MB by AL-CTS@MNPs. Subsequently, the adsorbent maintained a removal rate of >95 % after five adsorption-desorption cycles, demonstrating its excellent stability and recoverability. Ultimately, the prepared AL-CTS@MNPs illuminated good prospect on complex components dyes wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The growing interest in utilizing lignin for dye removal has gained momentum, but there is limited information on the intricate relationship between lignin structural characteristics and adsorption efficacy, especially for its biochar derivatives. This study focused on three types of lignin and their corresponding biochar derivatives. Among them, ZnCl2-activated acidic/alkali densified lignin preparation of lignin-derived active carbon exhibited superior adsorption performance, achieving 526.32 mg/g for methylene blue and 2156.77 mg/g for congo red. Its exceptional adsorption capacity was attributed to its unique structural properties, including low alkyl and O-alkyl group content and high aromatic carbon levels. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanisms adhered to pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir model, signifying a spontaneous process. Intriguingly, lignin-derived active carbon also demonstrated remarkable recovery capabilities. These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of structural attributes on lignin and its biochar's adsorption performance.

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.

Abstract
This work demonstrated enhanced adsorption capabilities of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) synthesized via a straightforward hydrotropic method compared to pristine lignin (PL) powder for removing methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. Kraft lignin was used as a precursor and p-toluenesulfonic acid as the hydrotrope to produce spherical LNPs with ~ 200 nm diameter. Extensive characterization by SEM, AFM, DLS, zeta potential, and BET verified successful fabrication of microporous LNPs with fourfold higher specific surface area (14.9 m2/g) compared to PL (3.4 m2/g). Significantly reduced particle agglomeration and rearranged surface chemistry (zeta potential of -13.3 mV) arising from the self-assembly of lignin fractions under hydrotropic conditions enabled the application of LNPs and superior adsorbents compared to PL. Batch adsorption experiments exhibited up to 14 times higher methylene blue removal capacity, from 20.74 for PL to 127.91 mg/g for LNPs, and ultrafast equilibrium uptake within 3 min for LNPs compared to 10 min for PL. Kinetic modeling based on pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations revealed chemisorption as the predominant mechanism, with a rate constant of 0.032825 g/mg·h for LNPs-over an order of magnitude higher than PL (0.07125 g/mg·h). Isotherm modeling indicated Langmuir monolayer adsorption behavior on relatively uniform lignin surface functional groups. The substantially augmented adsorption performance of LNPs arose from the increased surface area and abundance of surface functional groups, providing greater accessibility of chemically active binding sites for rapid dye uptake. Overall, this work demonstrates that tailoring lignin nanoparticle structure and surface chemistry via scalable hydrotropic synthesis is a simple and sustainable approach for producing highly efficient lignin-based nano-adsorbents for organic dye removal from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The adsorption behaviors of biochar are largely impacted by biomassfeedstock. In this study, two biochars were prepared from torrefaction of ammonium persulfate- and potassium persulfate-pretreated bamboo and then activated by cold alkali, which are named as ASBC and KSBC, respectively. The two biochars were characterized by different instruments, and their adsorption properties over cationic methylene blue (MB) were compared. The type of persulfates little affected the specific surface areas, but significantly impacted O (29.54 % vs. 35.113 %) and N (12.13 % vs. 3.74 %) contents, functional groups, and zeta potentials of biochars. MB adsorption onto ASBC/KSBC is a single-layer chemical endothermic process and ASBC/KSBC exhibit high adsorption capacity over MB (475/881 mg·g-1) at 303 K. Obviously, the sorption capacity of MB onto KSBC much surpasses that of MB onto ASBC. These results indicate biomass pre-treatment is a cheap and convenient method to prepare biochars with unique physicochemical and adsorptive properties.

Abstract
Citric acid (CA) is a green and safe food-grade crosslinking agent for starch, but its high crosslinking temperature limits its application. In this study, a "one-step" extrusion modification method based on Ca2+-esterification synergistic crosslinking was proposed for the preparation of high gel performance crosslinked starch at low temperatures (90 °C). The linear and nonlinear rheological properties of crosslinked starch were comprehensively characterized, and the enhancement effect of synergistic crosslinking reactions on starch gel properties was quantitatively studied. The results show that the elastic modulus of the synergistically crosslinked starch (SC-0.5Ca2+, G' = 3116 ± 36) was significantly increased by 879 % compared to the elastic modulus of starch without synergistically crosslinked modification (SC, G' = 318 ± 9). The elastic modulus of starch gels can be adjusted by changing the ion concentration. Nonlinear rheological Lissajous curve analysis results show that the synergistic crosslinked gel system has a stronger anti-deformation ability. In addition, the honeycomb porous structure and smaller pore size distribution of the synergistic crosslinked gels were characterized using scanning SEM. The XPS, FTIR and XRD results suggest that the synergistic crosslinking enhancement effect may involve various molecular forces such as electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding and ester bonding.

Abstract
In this study, an innovative approach utilizing betaine as a raw material was employed to effectively modify the surface of chitosan with quaternary ammonium groups. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) characterization showed that the quaternary ammonium groups on betaine were successfully loaded on the chitosan surface. The effects of dosage, pH, initial perchlorate concentration, temperature and co-existing anions on the removal efficiency of perchlorate were investigated. The saturated adsorption capacity of CGQS was 35.41 mg/g under natural condition. The impact of initial perchlorate concentrations and column flow rates on the column adsorption experiments were investigated, as well as natural water tests. Sterilizing performance experiments of CGQS were carried out innovatively. Under the condition of initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L, 9 BV/h (bed volume per hour), the effluent natural water was up to standard (≤0.07 mg/L) with a treatment capacity of 210 BV/g, and the sterilizing rate of CGQS was up to 97.02%. The proposed adsorption mechanisms involved surface pore adsorption, electrostatic adsorption of quaternary ammonium groups, and ion exchange between chloride and perchlorate ions. The CGQS prepared in this work had great potential for treating trace perchlorate contamination in natural water.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 324:121473.

Abstract
Due to its safety and palatability, the citric acid crosslinking modification is an excellent way to modify the properties of starch gels. However, the application of this method is restricted by the low degree of crosslinking of gels produced by this method in the hydrogel system. To produce citric acid-crosslinked starch with improved strength and tunable gel characteristics, a novel ion-esterification cooperative crosslinking-extrusion combined (CCEC) modification approach is presented in this study. The linear and nonlinear rheological characteristics of the samples were measured to evaluate the effectiveness of CCEC modification. Findings disclosed that at 0.1 % strain, the elastic modulus of the CCEC-modified starch (SC-0.5Zn2+, G' = 1522.29 ± 36.31) exhibited a significant rise of 387.27 % as compared to the elastic modulus of citric acid-crosslinked starch (SC, G' = 318.29 ± 11.62). Furthermore, changing the cation concentration allowed for efficient control of the gel's rheological characteristics. The samples were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, and XPS. The CCEC-modified gels had a smaller pore size distribution and a denser honeycomb porous structure. The CCEC modification reaction involves ester bonds and electrostatic attraction. This research is essential to elucidate how coupled physicochemical modification techniques affect the manipulation of starch gel characteristics.

Abstract
Crosslinking is a promising method to modulate the gel properties of food-grade starch gels. Still, the poor crosslinking effect of a single type of crosslinker limits the application of this method in starch gel modification. In this study, an Ca2+ synergistic multiple crosslinking modification method was proposed to prepare crosslinked starches with good gel properties and setting. The rheological properties of the samples were tested. The modified sample (SC-Ca-N3, G' = 1347 ± 27) showed a 79% improvement compared to the starch without synergistic crosslinking modification (SC-N, G' = 752 ± 6). The elastic modulus of starch gels can be adjusted by changing the degree of the crosslinking reaction. The results of nonlinear rheological Lissajous curve analysis showed that the synergistically crosslinked gel system strongly resisted deformation. In addition, the microstructure of the modified samples was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The XPS, FTIR, and XRD results indicated that multiple molecular forces participate in the synergistic crosslinking reaction.

Abstract
Lignin, the most abundant natural material, is considered as a low-value commercial biomass waste from paper mills and wineries. In an effort to turn biomass waste into a highly valuable material, herein, a new-type of hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNs) is designed and synthesized by pyrolysis of biomass dealkali lignin, as an efficient nanocatalyst for the elimination of antibiotics in complex water matrices. Detailed characterization shows that HCNs possess a hollow nanosphere structure, with abundant graphitic C/N and surface N and O-containing functional groups favorable for peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation. Among them, HCN-500 provides the maximum degradation rate (95.0%) and mineralization efficiency (74.4%) surpassing those of most metal-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in the elimination of oxytetracycline (OTC). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HR-MS) were employed to reveal the possible degradation pathway of OTC elimination. In addition, the HCN-500/PDS system is also successfully applied to real antibiotics removal in complex water matrices (e.g. river water and tap water), with excellent catalytic performances.

Abstract
The lignin-based metal-organic framework (UIO-g-NL) was prepared by a Schiff base reaction of aminated lignin and the zirconium cluster-based MOF (UIO-66-NH2) as an adsorbent of methyl orange (MO). The results showed that UIO-g-NL maintained the original crystal structure and aminated lignin was successfully introduced after functionalization. UIO-g-NL selectively adsorbed MO from a mixed solution 50 mg/L MO and 50 mg/L methylene blue (MB), with an adsorption efficiency of nearly 100%. In a mixed solution 250 mg/L MB and 250 mg/L MO, UIO-g-NL adsorbed both dyes with 1120.70 mg/g for MB and 961.54 mg/g for MO. Hydrogen bonding, π-π and NH-π interactions, and electrostatic attraction contribute to the MO adsorption by UIO-g-NL. In the MO/MB mixture, MO adsorption by UIO-g-NL follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, which is an endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible adsorption process. Furthermore, the MO adsorption efficiency of UIO-g-NL remained high (>90%) after six re-use cycles.

Abstract
A novel oxidative magnetization, involving phosphomolybdic acid and Fe(NO3)3 co-promoted pyrolysis, was established to manufacture highly adsorptive magnetic biochars for adsorbing aqueous tetracycline, methylene blue, and Cr6+. The modification of phosphomolybdic acid greatly boosted the formation of γ-Fe2O3 and oxygen containing groups with enhancement of specific surface area and pore volume at 400 °C. Importantly, γ-Fe2O3 was stably fixed on surface in quasi-nanoscale. The oxidized magnetic biochar displayed 631.53, 158.45, 155.13 mg/g adsorption capabilities for tetracycline, methylene blue, and Cr6+ with 22.79 emu/g saturation magnetization, respectively. Oxygen containing groups and quasi-nanoscale γ-Fe2O3 served as key adsorption sites for these pollutants. A general oxidative magnetization was established for manufacturing high-performance magnetic biochar through phosphomolybdic acid/Fe(NO3)3 co-promoted pyrolysis at relatively low temperature.

Abstract
A secure aquatic environment is essential for both aquatic and terrestrial life. However, rising populations and the industrial revolution have had a significant impact on the quality of the water environment. Despite the implementation of strong and adapted environmental policies for water treatment worldwide, the issue of organic dyes in wastewater remains challenging. Thus, this study aimed to develop an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable material to treat methylene blue (MB) in an aqueous environment. In this research, maize extract solution (MES) was utilized as a green cross-linker to induce precipitation, conjugation, and enhance the adsorption performance of graphene oxide (GO) cross-linked with durian shell activated carbon (DSAC), resulting in the formation of a GO@DSAC composite. The composite was investigated for its adsorptive performance toward MB in aqueous media. The physicochemical characterization demonstrated that the cross-linking method significantly influenced the porous structure and surface chemistry of GO@DSAC. BET analysis revealed that the GO@DSAC exhibited dominant mesopores with a surface area of 803.67 m2/g. EDX and XPS measurements confirmed the successful cross-linking of GO with DSAC. The adsorption experiments were well described by the Harkin-Jura model and they followed pseudo-second order kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacity reached 666.67 mg/g at 318 K. Thermodynamic evaluation indicated a spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic in nature. Regenerability and reusability investigations demonstrated that the GO@DSAC composite could be reused for up to 10 desorption-adsorption cycles with a removal efficiency of 81.78%. The selective adsorptive performance of GO@DSAC was examined in a binary system containing Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene orange (MO). The results showed a separation efficiency (α) of 98.89% for MB/MO and 93.66% for MB/RhB mixtures, underscoring outstanding separation capabilities of the GO@DSAC composite. Overall, the GO@DSAC composite displayed promising potential for the effective removal of cationic dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
Aminated lignin (AL) was obtained by modifying technical lignin (TL) with the Mannich reaction, and aminated lignin-based titanate nanotubes (AL-TiNTs) were successfully prepared based on the AL by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. The characterization of AL-TiNTs showed that a Ti-O bond was introduced into the AL, and the layered and nanotubular structure was formed in the fabrication of the nanotubes. Results showed that the specific surface area increased significantly from 5.9 m2/g (TL) to 188.51 m2/g (AL-TiNTs), indicating the successful modification of TL. The AL-TiNTs quickly adsorbed 86.22% of Cr(VI) in 10 min, with 99.80% removal efficiency after equilibration. Under visible light, AL-TiNTs adsorbed and reduced Cr(VI) in one step, the Cr(III) production rate was 29.76%, and the amount of total chromium (Cr) removal by AL-TiNTs was 90.0 mg/g. AL-TiNTs showed excellent adsorption capacities of Zn2+ (63.78 mg/g), Cd2+ (59.20 mg/g), and Cu2+ (66.35 mg/g). After four cycles, the adsorption capacity of AL-TiNTs still exceeded 40 mg/g. AL-TiNTs showed a high Cr(VI) removal efficiency of 95.86% in simulated wastewater, suggesting a promising practical application in heavy metal removal from wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, high-performance Fe-Mn-modified industrial lignin-based biochar (FMBC) was successfully prepared to facilitate the efficient degradation of oxytetracycline by its driven sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process with 90% degradation within 30 min. The results showed that oxygenated functional groups (e. g. hydroxyl, carbonyl, etc.) in industrial lignin-based biochar, the synergistic effect of transition metals Fe and Mn, and defective structures were the active sites for activation of peroxy-disulfate. SO4·- produced during the degradation process assumed a key function. Significantly, 38 intermediates were innovatively proposed for the first time in the system, and oxytetracycline was degraded in 7 ways, including deamidation, demethylation, hydroxylation, secondary alcohol oxidation, ring opening, dehydration, and carbonylation. A new perspective on the application of industrial lignin in the advanced oxidative degradation of organic pollutants was provided by this study.

Abstract
In practical wastewater, cationic and anionic dyes usually coexist, while synergistic removal of these pollutants is difficult due to their relatively opposite properties. In this work, copper slag (CS) modified hydrochar (CSHC) was designed as functional material by the one-pot method. Based on characterizations, the Fe species in CS can be converted to zero-valent iron and loaded onto a hydrochar substrate. The CSHC exhibited efficient removal rates for both cationic dyes (methylene blue, MB) and anionic dyes (methyl orange, MO), with a maximum capacity of 278.21 and 357.02 mg·g-1, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of unmodified ones. The surface interactions of MB and MO between CSHC were mimicked by the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model. In addition, the magnetic properties of CSHC were also observed, and the good magnetic properties enabled the adsorbent to be quickly separated from the solution with the help of magnets. The adsorption mechanisms include pore filling, complexation, precipitation, and electrostatic attraction. Moreover, the recycling experiments demonstrated the potential regenerative performance of CSHC. All these results shed light on the co-removal of cationic and anionic contaminates via these industrial by-products derived from environmental remediation materials.

Bamboo-derived nitrogen-doping magnetic porous hydrochar coactivated by K 2FeO 4 and CaCO 3 for phenol removal: Governing factors and mechanisms. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 331:121871. [PMID: 37225081 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a novel nitrogen-doped magnetic Fe-Ca codoped biochar for phenol removal was successfully fabricated via a hydrothermal and coactivation pyrolysis method. A series of adsorption process parameters (K2FeO4 to CaCO3 ratio, initial phenol concentration, pH value, adsorption time, adsorbent dosage and ion strength) and adsorption models (kinetic models, isotherms and thermodynamic models) were determined using batch experiments and various analysis techniques (XRD, BET, SEM-EDX, Raman spectroscopy, VSM, FTIR and XPS) to investigate the adsorption mechanism and metal-nitrogen-carbon interaction. The biochar with a ratio of Biochar: K2FeO4: CaCO3 = 3:1:1 exhibited superior properties for adsorption of phenol and had a maximum adsorption capacity of 211.73 mg/g at 298 K, C0 = 200 mg/L, pH = 6.0 and t = 480 min. These excellent adsorption properties were due to superior physicomechanical properties (a large specific surface area (610.53 m2/g) and pore volume (0.3950 cm3/g), a well-developed pore structure (hierarchical), a high graphitization degree (ID/IG = 2.02), the presence of O/N-rich functional groups and Fe-Ox,Ca-Ox, N-doping, as well as synergistic activation by K2FeO4 and CaCO3). The Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models effectively fit the adsorption data, indicating multilayer physicochemical adsorption. Pore filling and π-π interactions were the predominant mechanisms for phenol removal, and H-bonding interactions, Lewis-acid-base interactions, and metal complexation played an important role in enhancing phenol removal. A simple, feasible approach with application potential to organic contaminant/pollutant removal was developed in this study.

Abstract
This study reports the valorization of pistachio shell agricultural waste, aiming to develop an eco-friendly and cost-effective biosorbent for cationic brilliant green (BG) dye adsorption from aqueous media. Pistachio shells were mercerized in an alkaline environment, resulting in the treated adsorbent (PSNaOH). The morphological and structural features of the adsorbent were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and polarized light microscopy. The pseudo-first-order (PFO) kinetic model best described the adsorption kinetics of the BG cationic dye onto PSNaOH biosorbents. In turn, the equilibrium data were best fitted to the Sips isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity decreased with temperature (from 52.42 mg/g at 300 K to 46.42 mg/g at 330 K). The isotherm parameters indicated improved affinity between the biosorbent surface and BG molecules at lower temperatures (300 K). The thermodynamic parameters estimated on the basis of the two approaches indicated a spontaneous (ΔG < 0) and exothermic (ΔH < 0) adsorption process. The design of experiments (DoE) and the response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to establish optimal conditions (sorbent dose (SD) = 4.0 g/L and initial concentration (C0) = 10.1 mg/L), yielding removal efficiency of 98.78%. Molecular docking simulations were performed to disclose the intermolecular interactions between the BG dye and lignocellulose-based adsorbent.

Abstract
Due to the high biological toxicity, the concurrent elimination of lead (Pb (II)) and methylene blue (MB) has become a challenging problem. Therefore, a newly β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) modified magnetic alginate/biochar (β-CD@MBCP) material was developed. Comprehensive characterizations proved the successful coating of β-CD onto MBCP surface by microwave-aided fabrication. The β-CD@MBCP achieved high-efficiency uptake for contaminants under a wide pH scope. In the dual system, Pb (II) elimination was facilitated with the presence of MB, due to the active sites provided by MB. In the presence of Pb (II), MB uptake was inhibited due to the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged MB and Pb (II). Electrostatic attraction and complexation contributed to capturing Pb (II), while π-π interactions, host-guest effect, and H-bonding were important in MB elimination. After four cycles, β-CD@MBCP maintained comparatively good renewability. Findings demonstrated that β-CD@MBCP could be an effective remediation material for Pb (II)/MB adsorption from aqueous environments.

Abstract
Here, a Cu2+-doped lignin-based adsorbent (Cu-AL) was fabricated via the amination and Cu2+-doping of industrial alkali lignin for massive and selective adsorption of cationic dyes azure B (AB) and saffron T (ST). The Cu-N coordination structures endowed Cu-AL with stronger electronegativity and higher dispersity. Through the electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction, H-bonding, and Cu2+ coordination, the adsorption capacities of AB and ST reached up to 1168 and 1420 mg g-1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model were more relevant to the AB and ST adsorption on Cu-AL. Based on the thermodynamic study, the adsorption progresses were endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible. The Cu-AL maintained high removal efficiency to dyes after 4 reuses (>80%). Importantly, the Cu-AL could efficiently remove and separate AB and ST from dye mixtures even in real time. All the above characteristics demonstrated that Cu-AL was an excellent adsorbent for fast wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, xanthan gum-based composites were successfully graft-modified by amantadine (XG-Fe3+/AM) with higher adsorption capacity and selectivity on recycling cationic dye (methylene blue, MB) from aqueous solution. The adsorption equilibrium of MB could be achieved approximately within 5 min when the initial concentration was 100 mg/L, and the maximum adsorption capacity was up to 565 mg/g. After 5 desorption-regeneration cycles, the removal rate of XG-Fe3+/AM for MB could still be as high as 95 % with slight decrement. Additionally, the effects of pH, contact time, temperature and initial dye concentration on the adsorption performance of MB were systematically examined. Furthermore, the adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR, BET and XPS analysis. In mixed anionic and cationic dyes, the adsorption selectivity of XG-Fe3+/AM on MB in the mixture of MB and methyl orange (MO) reached up to 99.69 %. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the trend of adsorption energy for dyes was in good agreement of the experimental order of adsorption capacities and molecular sizes among seven anionic and cationic dyes based on molecular matching effect and electrostatic interaction. Therefore, XG-Fe3+/AM is an eco-friendly, facile-synthesis and high-selectivity adsorbent, which remove cationic dyes in multi-component systems through electrostatic interaction and molecular matching effect.

Abstract
To effectively remove methylene blue (MB) from dye wastewater, a novel activated carbon (BAC) was manufactured through co-pyrolysis of bamboo shoot shell and K2FeO4. The activation process was optimized to a temperature of 750 °C and an activation time of 90 min based on its excellent adsorption capacity of 560.94 mg/g with a yield of 10.03%. The physicochemical and adsorption properties of BACs were investigated. The BAC had an ultrahigh specific surface area of 2327.7 cm2/g and abundant active functional groups. The adsorption mechanisms included chemisorption and physisorption. The Freundlich model could be used to describe the isothermal adsorption of MB. The kinetics confirmed that the adsorption of MB belonged to the pseudo-second-order model. Intra-particle diffusion was the main rate-limiting step. The thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and temperature was beneficial for the improvement of adsorption property. Furthermore, the removal rate of MB was 63.5% after three cycles. The BAC will have great potential for commercial development for purifying dye wastewater.

Abstract
The design and preparation of cheaper, greener and more efficient adsorbents is essential for the removal of pollutants by adsorption. In this study, biochar was prepared from peel of Brassica juncea var. gemmifera Lee et Lin (PoBJ) using a facile, low-temperature and vacuum pyrolysis, and the adsorption mechanism toward organic dyes in aqueous solution was elucidated. The adsorbent was characterized by XPS, FT-IR and SEM, and zeta potential techniques. The adsorption ability of PoBJ biochar for cationic dyes (methylene blue, brilliant green, calcein-safranine, azure I, rhodamine B), anionic dyes (alizarin yellow R), and neutral dyes (neutral red) revealed that the biochar exhibited adsorption selectivity toward cationic dyes. The effects of different factors on the adsorption performance of PoBJ biochar, as well as the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, were further investigated by using methylene blue as the model adsorbate. These factors included temperature, pH, contact time and dye concentration. The experimental results showed that BJ280 and BJ160 (prepared at 280 °C and 160 °C, respectively) possessed relatively higher adsorption capacity of 192.8 and 167.40 mg g-1 for methylene blue (MB), respectively, demonstrating the possibility of utilization of PoBJ biochar as a superior bio-adsorbent. The experimental data of BJ160 toward MB were correlated with various kinetic and isothermal models. The results indicated that the adsorption process was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and nonlinear pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of MB onto BJ160 was exothermic. Thus, the low-temperature prepared PoBJ biochar was an environmentally friendly, economic and efficient cationic dye adsorbent.

Abstract
Chloroquine phosphate (CQP) is effective in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); thus, its usage is rapidly increasing, which may pose a potential hazard to the environment and living organisms. However, there are limited findings on the removal of CQP in water. Herein, iron and magnesium co-modified rape straw biochar (Fe/Mg-RSB) was prepared to remove CQP from the aqueous solution. The results showed that Fe and Mg co-modification enhanced the adsorption efficiency of rape straw biochar (RSB) for CQP with the maximum adsorption capacity of 42.93 mg/g (at 308 K), which was about two times higher than that of RSB. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms analysis, as well as the physicochemical characterization analysis, demonstrated that the adsorption of CQP onto Fe/Mg-RSB was caused by the synergistic effect of pore filling, π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, and electrostatic interaction. In addition, although solution pH and ionic strength affected the adsorption performance of CQP, Fe/Mg-RSB still had a high adsorption capability for CQP. Column adsorption experiments revealed that the Yoon-Nelson model better described the dynamic adsorption behavior of Fe/Mg-RSB. Furthermore, Fe/Mg-RSB had the potential for repeated use. Therefore, Fe and Mg co-modified biochar could be used for the remediation of CQP from contaminated water.

Abstract
Waste lignin, such as black liquor (BL) from paper and pulping industries, is an agro-industrial biowaste while its reuse raised global concerns. In this work, a hydrothermal carbonization procedure was employed to convert BL into magnetic lignin-based hydrochar (MLHC) for thallium elimination from wastewater. The results exhibited water purification potential due to a wider working pH window (2-9) with the magnetization intensity of 11.12 emu/g. The maximum adsorption capacity for Tl(III) was 278.9 mg/g, while the contribution of various mechanisms was elucidated with the order: surface precipitation (31.3 %), complexation (20.6 %), physical adsorption (18.2 %), chemical reduction (15.0 %), and ion exchange (14.9 %). This study revealed that hydrothermal treatment could be a potential and promising method to convert waste lignin into magnetic bio-adsorbent to recycle pulping black liquor and apply it for thallium pollution control.

[PMID: 36754236 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.128715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Highly efficient and cheap magnetic materials have application prospects in wastewater treatment. Herein, Fe3O4-loaded hydrochar (HC-Fe3O4) was obtained from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of bamboo with FeCl3 and then added with FeCl3 to form a magnetic sorbent via simple precipitation. The HC-Fe3O4 was characterized with various instruments. The characterizations show FeCl3 plays at least two roles as a catalyst and an oxidant in HTC. The specific surface area of hydrochar enlarged from 39.9731 to 60.9887 m2·g-1 after the addition of FeCl3 during HTC, which showed FeCl3 acted as a catalyst in HTC. XRD indicated Fe3O4 was formed by the structure of HC-Fe3O4, which indicated Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II) during HTC. Sorption of methylene blue (MB) onto HC-Fe3O4 was better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Sorption is a spontaneous thermodynamic endothermic process and HC-Fe3O4 is easily separated by an applied magnetic field and reused.

Abstract
To remove typical herbicide diuron effectively, a novel sludge-derived modified biochar (SDMBC600) was prepared using sludge-derived biochar (SDBC600) as raw material and Fe-Zn as an activator and modifier in this study. The physico-chemical properties of SDMBC600 and the adsorption behavior of diuron on the SDMBC600 were studied systematically. The adsorption mechanisms as well as practical applications of SDMBC600 were also investigated and examined. The results showed that the SDMBC600 was chemically loaded with Fe-Zn and SDMBC600 had a larger specific surface area (204 m2/g) and pore volume (0.0985 cm3/g). The adsorption of diuron on SDMBC600 followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum diuron adsorption capacity of 17.7 mg/g. The biochar could maintain a good adsorption performance (8.88-12.9 mg/g) under wide water quality conditions, in the pH of 2-10 and with the presence of humic acid and six typical metallic ions of 0-20 mg/L. The adsorption mechanisms of SDMBC600 for diuron were found to include surface complexation, π-π binding, hydrogen bonding, as well as pore filling. Additionally, the SDMBC600 was tested to be very stable with very low Fe and Zn leaching concentration ≤0.203 mg/L in the wide pH range. In addition, the SDMBC600 could maintain a high adsorption capacity (99.6%) after four times of regeneration and therefore, SDMBC600 could have a promising application for diuron removal in water treatment.

Abstract
Zero-valent iron (Fe0)-modified biochar (BFN) was prepared via low-temperature pyrolysis of tea residue (TR) and ferric nitrate hexahydrate (FN) coupled with NaOH activation for the removal of methylene blue (MB). BFN exhibited a specific surface area of 382.66 m2·g-1, an average pore diameter of 4.97 nm and an equilibrium adsorption capacity as high as 452.5 mg·g-1 of 0.33 g·L-1 toward 150 mg·L-1 MB within 60 min at 30 °C and pH 7.0. The recovered MB is far below of the removal rate in each of adsorption-desorption cycle because the removal mechanism is that MB molecular was firstly chemically adsorbed, then it was reduced and mineralized by BFN with the formation of nitrate, sulfate, CO2 and H2O.

Abstract
Organic pollutants pose a serious threat to water environment, thus it is essential to develop high-performance adsorbent to remove them from wastewater. Herein, nitrogen-doped magnetic porous carbon (M-PLAC) with three-dimensional porous structure was synthesized from lignin to adsorb methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline (TC) in wastewater. The calculated equilibrium adsorption amount by M-PLAC for MB and TC was 645.52 and 1306.00 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of MB and TC on M-PLAC conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The removal of MB by M-PLAC showed fast and efficient characteristics and exhibited high selectivity for TC in a binary system. In addition, M-PLAC was suitable for a variety of complex water environments and had good regeneration performance, demonstrating potential advantages in practical wastewater treatment. The organic pollutant adsorption by M-PLAC was attributed to electrostatic interaction, hole filling effect, hydrogen bonding, and the π-π interaction.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more biochars have been employed to treat dye wastewater. In order to increase the utilization of moringa seed shell resources and enrich the removal method of methylene blue (MB) in solution, in the current study, the magnetic moringa seed shells biochar was prepared through ultrasonic-assisted impregnation and pyrolysis, while Fe3O4 was used to activate the material to obtain adsorption (Fe3O4-MOS). The prepared adsorbents were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, FTIR, N2 adsorption and desorption and VSM. Under the suitable experimental conditions, the removal rate can be close to 100% and the maximum adsorption capacity of MB could be 219.60 mg/g. The Freundlich model provided a good match to the data presented by the adsorption isotherm, and the adsorption of MB on Fe3O4-MOS was a spontaneous and endothermic reaction. Study of the mechanism indicated that pore adsorption, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bond, and π-π interaction were the major adsorption mechanisms. After five cycles, it was found that Fe3O4-MOS had a high removal rate for MB, which was close to 90%. This work provides a new idea for moringa seed shells and the results confirm that Fe3O4-MOS has substantial potential for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, a novel Fe/Mn/N co-doped biochar (Fe&Mn-NBC800) derived from waste apple tree branches was fabricated for bisphenol A (BPA) removal. Fe&Mn-NBC800 exhibited higher adsorption capacity (84.96 mg·g-1) in 318 K for BPA than the pristine biochar, doped mono-atomic, and di-atomic biochar. Higher temperature and adsorbent dosage promoted BPA removal, while higher solution pH was detrimental to the adsorption process. The kinetic and isothermal processes of BPA removal followed the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir, respectively. Characterizations and correlation analysis indicated that π-π interactions showed the major contribution to the BPA adsorption. Furthermore, the pore filling, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions also played a role. Good water environment anti-interference ability (ion species, ionic strength, actual water body) and excellent recyclability of Fe&Mn-NBC800 make it exhibit the potential for engineering projects.

Abstract
In this study, a novel adsorbent, dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) functionalized magnetic biochar (DBSA-Fe3O4@BC), was synthesized and used to efficiently remove dyes from aqueous solution. The results indicated that DBSA-Fe3O4@BC exhibited an excellent adsorption capacity for Rhodamine B (RhB), and the maximum adsorption capacity for RhB at 298 K was 367.67 mg/g, which was approximately 2.3-1.2 folds than that of BC, dodecylsulfonic acid functionalized biochar (DSA@BC), DBSA@BC, Fe3O4@BC, and DSA-Fe3O4@BC. The possible adsorption mechanisms for RhB adsorption by DBSA-Fe3O4@BC included pore filling, electrostatic attraction, H bond, and surface complexation. Importantly, structural control presented that the simultaneous introduction of alkyl and phenyl groups significantly enhanced RhB adsorption by DBSA-Fe3O4@BC through hydrophobic and π-π interaction. Combined ethanol (EtOH) desorption and H2O2 oxidation regeneration, DBSA-Fe3O4@BC remained high-performance for RhB adsorption after six cycles (97.44%), indicating its outstanding reusability. In summary, DBSA-Fe3O4@BC exhibited a prospective application for dyeing wastewater treatment.

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.

[PMID: 35618189 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Herein, the cork activated carbon (CAC) with excellent adsorption performance for cationic dye, anionic dye, and mixed dye was obtained by a two-step pyrolysis method. The CAC exhibits a fluffy honeycomb structure consisted of porous carbon nanosheets (100-200 nm), ultra-high specific surface area (3402.68 m2/g), and well-developed hierarchical porous structure, which offers a great deal of adsorption sites and transport channels to dye molecules. The adsorption process of all the dyes onto CAC is better described by Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model. The CAC shows ultra-high adsorption capacity for methylene blue (1283.99 mg/g), rhodamine B (4067.57 mg/g), methyl orange (2666.2 mg/g), and congo red (8920.61 mg/g), with an extremely low equilibrium adsorption time (∼10 min). Collectively, this study demonstrated the potential of converting waste cork into high value-added adsorbent for the efficient purification of dye wastewater.

Abstract
“Biochar” (BC) is the solid residue recovered from the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-poor atmosphere. Recently, BC has been increasingly explored as a sustainable, inexpensive, and viable alternative to traditional carbonaceous fillers for the development of polymer-based composites. In fact, BC exhibits high thermal stability, high surface area, and electrical conductivity; moreover, its main properties can be properly tuned by controlling the conditions of the production process. Due to its intriguing characteristics, BC is currently in competition with high-performing fillers in the formulation of multi-functional polymer-based composites, inducing both high mechanical and electrical properties. Moreover, BC can be derived from a huge variety of biomass sources, including post-consumer agricultural wastes, hence providing an interesting opportunity toward a “zero waste” circular bioeconomy. This work aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the main achievements obtained by combining BC with several thermoplastic and thermosetting matrices. In particular, the effect of the introduction of BC on the overall performance of different polymer matrices will be critically reviewed, highlighting the influence of differently synthesized BC on the final performance and behavior of the resulting composites. Lastly, a comparative perspective on BC with other carbonaceous fillers will be also provided.

Abstract
Printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW) has characteristics of large amount of water, elevated content of residual dyes, poor biodegradability, high alkalinity and large change of water quality, making its treatment difficult. Development of efficient and economic PDW treatment technology has gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Use of plant biomass carbon (PBC) for the adsorption of dyes is a feasible and economical technology. This review summarizes current literature discussing the preparation method and physicochemical characteristics of PBC prepared from different plant species, the effect of PBC on the removal of dyes, influencing factors affecting the removal, and relevant adsorption models. The shortcomings of current research and the direction of future research are also pointed out in the review.
