[PMID: 39197608 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135088] [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: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
Water contamination poses a significant challenge to environmental and public health, necessitating sustainable wastewater treatment solutions. Adsorption is one of the most widely used techniques for purifying water, as it effectively removes contaminants by transferring them from the liquid phase to a solid surface. Bio-based hydrogel adsorbents are gaining popularity in wastewater treatment due to their versatility in fabrication and modification methods, which include blending, grafting, and crosslinking. Owning to their unique structure and large surface area, modified hydrogels containing reactive groups like amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl, or functionalized hydrogels with inorganic nanoparticles particularly graphene nanomaterials, have demonstrated promising adsorption capabilities for both inorganic and organic contaminants. Bio-based hydrogels have excellent physicochemical properties and are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable, making them extremely effective at removing contaminants like heavy metal ions, dyes, pharmaceutical pollutants, and organic micropollutants. The versatility of hydrogels allows for various forms to be used, such as films, beads, and nanocomposites, providing flexibility in handling different contaminants like dyes, radionuclides, and heavy metals. Additionally, researchers also have shown the potential for recycling and regenerating post-treatment hydrogels. This approach not only addresses the challenges of wastewater treatment but also offers sustainable and effective solutions for mitigating water pollution.

Abstract
Among biopolymer-based adsorbents, composites in the form of beads have shown promising results in terms of high adsorption capacity and ease of separation from the effluents. This review addresses the potential of biopolymer-based beads to remediate wastewaters polluted with emerging organic contaminants, for instance dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, phenols, oils, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. High adsorption capacities up to 2541.76 mg g-1 for dyes, 392 mg g-1 for pesticides and phenols, 1890.3 mg g-1 for pharmaceuticals, and 537 g g-1 for oils and organic solvents have been reported. The review also attempted to convey to its readers the significance of wastewater treatment through adsorption by providing an overview on decontamination technologies of organic water contaminants. Various preparation methods of biopolymer-based gel beads and adsorption mechanisms involved in the process of decontamination have been summarized and analyzed. Therefore, we believe there is an urge to discuss the current state of the application of biopolymer-based gel beads for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater and future perspectives in this regard since it is imperative to treat wastewater before releasing into freshwater bodies.

Abstract
A fast and accurate method for ultrasensitive monitoring of substrate is significant for cascade molecular detection. Here, we synthesize a glucose oxidase (GOx) microgel with iron coordination (Fe/GOx microgel). The microgel is cross-linked by chitosan and iron ion coordination which construct a tubular structure. Powder X-ray diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller results confirm the tubular crystal structure with a high specific surface area is formed in the microgel. The tubular structure offers a stable channel for intermediate transport which ensures the stabilization for the intermediate transport, and high specific surface area enhances the interaction between substrates and catalysts. As a result, the sensitivity of the Fe/GOx microgel is 175.5 μA mM-1 cm-2 and the lowest detection limit is 4.42 μM. In addition, the nanoscale Fe/GOx microgel also has the characteristics of reusability and maintains its activity after five times of catalysis. The generation of free radicals during the catalytic process can be detected by light detection and electrochemical signal detection within different detection limits. Therefore, Fe/GOx microgel provides a new platform and catalyst for the precise detection of cascade catalysis.

Abstract
Gum-based hydrogels (GBHs) have been widely employed in diverse water purification processes due to their environmental properties, and high absorption capacity. More desired properties of GBHs such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, material cost, simplicity of manufacture, and wide range of uses have converted them into promising materials in water treatment processes. In this review, we explored the application of GBHs to remove pollutants from contaminated waters. Water resources are constantly being contaminated by a variety of harmful effluents such as heavy metals, dyes, and other dangerous substances. A practical way to remove chemical waste from water as a vital component is surface adsorption. Currently, hydrogels, three-dimensional polymeric networks, are quite popular for adsorption. They have more extensive uses in several industries, including biomedicine, water purification, agriculture, sanitary products, and biosensors. This review will help the researcher to understand the research gaps and drawbacks in this field, which will lead to further developments in the future.

Abstract
Acid red 73 is an azo dye, and its residue can pollute the environment and seriously threaten human health and life. In this study, glutaraldehyde was used as the crosslinking agent, chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol were crosslinked under appropriate conditions to obtain a chitosan hydrogel film, and carbon nanotubes were dispersed in the chitosan hydrogel film. The FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM were applied to chatacterize the structure and the morphology of the absorbent and results showed that when the mass fraction of the carbon nanotubes was 1%, the structure was a three-dimensional network with microporous, and the water absorption reached to the maximum value of 266.07% and the elongation at break reached to a maximum of 98.87%. The ability to remove acid red 73 from aqueous and soil environments was evaluated by UV. In the aqueous samples, 70 mg of the adsorbent reached a saturated adsorption capacity of 101.07 mg/g and a removal rate of 92.23% at pH = 5. The thermodynamics conformed with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo second-order adsorption kinetic models. In the soil samples, 100 mg of the adsorbent reached an adsorption capacity of 24.73 mg/g and removal rate of 49.45%. When the pH of the soil is between 4 and 7, the removal rate and adsorption capacity do not change much; hence, the pH should be maintained between 5.2 and 6.8, which is extremely suitable for the growth of general plants. Moreover, the experimental results demonstrated that the adsorbent maintained a good removal rate of acid red 73 over six adsorption cycles.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have emerged as a promising material for hydrogel preparation due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low cost. This review focuses on polysaccharide-based hydrogels' synthesis, characterization, and applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare polysaccharide-based hydrogels are discussed. The characterization techniques are also highlighted to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of polysaccharide-based hydrogels. Finally, the applications of SAPs in various fields are discussed, along with their potential benefits and limitations. Due to environmental concerns, this review shows a growing interest in developing bio-sourced hydrogels made from natural materials such as polysaccharides. SAPs have many beneficial properties, including good mechanical and morphological properties, thermal stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, abundance, economic viability, and good swelling ability. However, some challenges remain to be overcome, such as limiting the formulation complexity of some SAPs and establishing a general protocol for calculating their water absorption and retention capacity. Furthermore, the development of SAPs requires a multidisciplinary approach and research should focus on improving their synthesis, modification, and characterization as well as exploring their potential applications. Biocompatibility, biodegradation, and the regulatory approval pathway of SAPs should be carefully evaluated to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Abstract
The ubiquitous presence of contaminants in water poses a major threat to the safety of ecosystems and human health, and so more materials or technologies are urgently needed to eliminate pollutants. Polymer materials have shown significant advantages over most other adsorption materials in the decontamination of wastewater by virtue of their relatively high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption rate. In recent years, "green development" has become the focus of global attention, and the environmental friendliness of materials themselves has been concerned. Therefore, natural polymers-derived materials are favored in the purification of wastewater due to their unique advantages of being renewable, low cost and environmentally friendly. Among them, natural plant gums show great potential in the synthesis of environmentally friendly polymer adsorption materials due to their rich sources, diverse structures and properties, as well as their renewable, non-toxic and biocompatible advantages. Natural plant gums can be easily modified by facile derivatization or a graft polymerization reaction to enhance the inherent properties or introduce new functions, thus obtaining new adsorption materials for the efficient purification of wastewater. This paper summarized the research progress on the fabrication of various gums-based adsorbents and their application in the decontamination of different types of pollutants. The general synthesis mechanism of gums-based adsorbents, and the adsorption mechanism of the adsorbent for different types of pollutants were also discussed. This paper was aimed at providing a reference for the design and development of more cost-effective and environmentally friendly water purification materials.

Abstract
Abstract
Removal of Cu2+ ions from contaminated water is an important but challenging task. This study reports the synthesis of a composite hydrogel from two natural polysaccharides, namely, sodium alginate and chitosan, using inexpensive kaolin as a raw material and polyacrylamide as a modifier. The hydrogel had a high adsorption capacity and selectivity for Cu2+. The composite hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the most suitable model for the kinetic results, and the Langmuir isotherm model was the most representative of the sorption system. The results revealed that the adsorption process was mainly controlled by chemisorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 106.4 mg·g−1. Therefore, this study presents a new perspective on the application of composite hydrogels as Cu2+ adsorbents.

Abstract
The rapid preparation of safe and efficient wound dressings that meet the needs of the entire repair process remains a major challenge for effective therapeutic wound healing. Natural, sprayable Ion2+-COS/SA multifunctional dual-network gel films created by the in situ coordination of chitooligosaccharide (COS), metal ions and sodium alginate (SA) using casting and an in-situ spray method were synthesized. The gel films exhibited excellent physicochemical properties such as swelling, porosity and plasticity at a COS mass fraction of 3%. Furthermore, at this mass fraction, the addition of bimetallic ions led to the display of multifunctional properties, including significant antioxidant, antibacterial and cytocompatibility properties. In addition, experiments in a total skin defect model showed that this multifunctional gel film accelerates wound healing and promotes skin regeneration. These results suggest that the sprayable Ion2+-COS/SA multifunctional pro-healing gel film may be a promising candidate for the clinical treatment of allodermic wounds.

Abstract
Hybrid hydrogel was synthesized by immobilizing TiO2 in polyethylene glycol diacrylate (TiO2@PEGDA) as an efficient adsorbent with photocatalysis property for bisphenol A (BPA) elimination. TiO2@PEGDA exhibited spherical and rough structure with limited crystallinity and abundant functional groups. The contact angle increased to 61.96° (TiO2@PEGDA) from 46.73° (pristine PEGDA), indicating that hydrogel hydrophilicity decreased due to the presence of TiO2. The swelling capacity of TiO2@PEGDA (9.0%) was decreased compared with pristine PEGDA (15.6%). Adsorption results demonstrated that the maximum adsorption capacity of TiO2@PEGDA (101.4 mg/g) for BPA was slightly higher than that of pristine PEGDA (97.68 mg/g). The adsorption capacity was independent with pH below 8 and decreased obviously when the value of pH was higher than 8. The adsorption behavior was fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm model. Both ΔG0 and ΔH0 were negative, indicating that BPA adsorbed on TiO2@PEGDA was an exothermic and spontaneous process. Regeneration study was performed by photocatalysis, and the adsorption capacity was 85.6% compared with the initial capacity after four-cycle use, indicating that TiO2@PEGDA could be recycled without significant adsorption capacity loss. Consequently, TiO2@PEGDA can serve as an eco-friendly and promising material for efficiently adsorbing BPA with self-clean property.

Abstract
A thermosensitive gel that exhibits lower critical solution temperature (LCST) becomes hydrophilic at low temperatures and hydrophobic at high temperatures in water. A system for absorbing hydrophobic organic matters that exploits this property has been reported. While washing the gel at a low temperature with a good solvent is a possible method for removing the adsorbed matter, a process that then shrinks the gel is also required. Herein, we focused on poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) mono(m)ethyl ether acrylate] (POEGA) gels as thermosensitive gels suitable for use in this system. POEGAs are known to contain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) units in their side chains and exhibit upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in aliphatic alcohols. By exploiting this property, we developed a method for removing hydrophobic matters that accumulate in these gels; we also evaluated the LCST and UCST behavior of POEGA gels in alcohol–water mixtures, and measured the LCSTs of these gels in water and their UCSTs in some alcohols.

Abstract
Hydrogels are often claimed as optimal adsorbents for water treatment; however, their efficiency towards the removal of hydrophobic pollutants is still limited. As an alternative, hydrogels prepared from polymers functionalized with siliceous materials can overcome this issue. Here, a composite hydrogel (denoted as GEL-SBA15) was prepared using alginate grafted with mesoporous silica (SBA15) and poly(vinyl alcohol) for benzene and toluene adsorption from aqueous solutions. Adsorption studies demonstrated that a low dosage of GEL-SBA15 (10 mg) has a high adsorption capacity for benzene (1482.8 mg/g) and toluene (596.6 mg/g) under mild experimental conditions (pH 7.0, at 25 °C). Besides, the adsorption capacities of GEL-SBA15 for both pollutants were enhanced compared to the conventional hydrogel. Kinetic analysis showed that the adsorption of benzene and toluene follows a pseudo-second order model, while the experimental adsorption data were well-fitted by the Freundlich isotherm. According to this isotherm, the adsorption occurs via a collaborative process, and weak physical forces (π-π interactions, van der Waals and hydrophobic) are involved. Hence, the post-utilized GEL-SBA15 can be recycled and reused up to 6 times without losing adsorption performance. Although hydrogels are not common adsorbents for aromatic hydrocarbons, the results reported here rank GEL-SBA15 as a promising adsorbent for the removal of these pollutants from water.

Enhanced removal of bisphenol A using pine-fruit shell-derived hydrochars: Adsorption mechanisms and reusability. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:126167.

Abstract
We synthesized NaOH-activated hydrochars via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of Brazilian pine fruit shells at HTC residence times of 24, 48, and 72 h. The hydrochars were used as adsorbents to remove bisphenol A (BPA) from aqueous solutions. The surface area of the samples can reach up to 2220 m2 g-1, and the maximum adsorption of BPA onto the surfaces was achieved at a pH of 7.0 (708 mg g-1). Adsorption occurred mainly via monolayer formation with a low retention time of the adsorbate (τ) on the surfaces, indicating that the BPA molecules reached the already occupied active sites and returned after undergoing heat exchange (τ > 0). Adsorption is an endothermic spontaneous process that results in a balance between entropic and enthalpic contributions. In such a reaction, ΔG°< 0, even with ΔH°> 0, the process occurs with an important increase in the entropy. The desorption was more efficient with ethanol and methanol than with HCl, NaOH, and NaCl owing to the dipole-dipole forces between the adsorbate and the alcohols. Additionally, the low desorption efficiency using acid, base, and salts can be attributed to competitive effects between the desorption agents and the active sites of the adsorbents.

Abstract
In order to avoid the secondary pollution of the toxic residue of chemical crosslinking agent accompanied by chemical hydrogel adsorbent and enhance the adsorption performance of physical hydrogel, chitosan/calcium alginate/bentonite (CTS/CA/BT) composite physical hydrogel was constructed. The formation mechanism and structure of the composite hydrogel were determined by FTIR, XRD and SEM. Adsorption performances of the hydrogel toward Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ in water under different condition as well as multi-ion competitive sorption were investigated. The adsorption processes were described with the canonical adsorption kinetics and isotherms models. With the utilization of XPS analysis and adsorption thermodynamics analysis, it was found that the adsorptions were spontaneous physico-chemical adsorptions. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the hydrogel for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ reached up to 434.89, 115.30 and 102.38 mg·g-1, respectively, better than those of other physical hydrogels or chitosan/bentonite composite. Moreover, the composite hydrogel improved the collectability of bentonite and showed a good reusability. The modification of bentonite and the formation of hydrogel were completed simultaneously, which greatly simplifies the operation process compared with the prior similar works. These suggest that the CTS/CA/BT composite hydrogel has promising application prospects for removal of heavy metal ions from water.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare surface amino-riched passion fruit peel (DAPFP) by amination reaction with low-cost biomaterials and use it as a biosorbent to adsorb Cr (VI). The specific physicochemical and structural properties of DAPFP were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, TG, Zeta, XPS, and FT-IR. The effects of pH value, initial concentration, adsorption time, coexisting ions, and temperature on the adsorption of Cr (VI) were systematically investigated. The results showed that within 90 min, DAPFP could reduce the concentration of Cr (VI) solution (1 mg/L−1) to an allowable safe level of drinking water (0.05 mg/L−1) specified by the World Health Organization. The adsorption process complies with pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of the prepared biosorbent could reach 675.65 mg/g−1. The results of thermodynamic studies confirmed that the adsorption process was a self-discharging heat process. DAPFP also showed good reusability; even after being used repeatedly five times, it still showed excellent adsorption performance. FT-IR and XPS analyses showed that electrostatic attraction and reduction were the main reasons for the adsorption. By virtue of its low cost and excellent adsorption performance, DAPFP has a potential practical application as an adsorbent in treating Cr (VI) containing wastewater.

Abstract
Due to the wonderful property of hydrogels, they can provide a platform for a wide range of applications. Recently, there is a growing research interest in the development of potential hydrogel adsorbents in wastewater treatment due to their adsorption ability toward aqueous pollutants. It is important to prepare such a hydrogel that possesses appropriate robustness, adsorption capacity, and adsorption efficiency to meet the need of water treatment. In order to improve the property of hydrogels, much effort has been made by researchers to modify hydrogels, among which incorporating inorganic components into the polymeric networks is the most common method, which can reduce the product cost and simplify the preparation procedure. Not only can hydrogel be applied as adsorbent, but it also can be used as matrix for catalyst immobilization. In this review, the key advancement on the preparation and modification of hydrogels is discussed, with special emphasis on the introduction of inorganic materials into polymeric networks and consequential changes in the properties of mechanical strength, swelling, and adsorption. Besides, hydrogels used as adsorbents for removal of dyes and inorganic pollutants have been widely explored, but their use for adsorbing emerging contaminants from aqueous solution has not received much attention. Thus, this review is mainly focused on hydrogels' application in removing emerging contaminants by adsorption. Furthermore, hydrogels can be also applied in immobilizing catalysts, such as enzyme and photocatalyst, to remove pollutants completely and avoid secondary pollution, so their progress as catalyst matrix is overviewed.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel microsphere was synthesized by UV-assisted reverse emulsion polymerization as an efficient adsorbent for water purification. Optical microscopy and TEM proved its spherical and hollow structure, while XRD pattern proved that it was amorphous with limited crystallinity. Abundant oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl were detected by FTIR. The hydrogels exhibited low swelling capacities ranging from 0.19 to 0.77 g/g in water and would decrease in salty solutions. The effects of operation parameters on the bisphenol A (BPA) adsorption were studied, including the polymer composition between PEGDA and polyethylene glycol methacrylate (PEGMA), initial concentration of BPA, pH, and operation temperature. The resulting hydrogel, especially for PDM2 (the ratio between PEGDA and PEGMA is 2), was able to effectively enrich BPA in water. The adsorption capacity was nearly stable below pH 8.0 and decreased when beyond 8.0. Thermodynamic parameters reflected that BPA adsorbed by hydrogel was a spontaneous (ΔG0 < 0) and exothermic (ΔH0 < 0) progress. The adsorption capacity increased with the increase of the concentration of NaCl, exhibiting salinity-enhanced adsorption capacity driven by hydrophobic force. Excellent results were also achieved by applying hydrogel for spiked real surface waters, which accounted for more than 91% compared to simulated solution. As-prepared hydrogel was expected to be good candidate for treatment of endocrine disruptors with lower solubility in water.
