Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135468. [PMID: 39260641 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135468] [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: 07/22/2024] [Revised: 08/31/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
A novel composite hydrogel prepared from polyacrylamide (PAM), polydopamine-modified montmorillonite (PDA@MMT), graphene and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), loaded with Ag NPs, was prepared for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) using in situ reduction. HPC significantly enhanced the dispersion of PDA@MMT within the hydrogel, endowing the hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties, with stress and strain of 1773 kPa and 4005 %, and elastic modulus and toughness of 43.4 kPa and 29.54 MJ/m3, respectively. The introduction of graphene (GN) increased the rate of electron transfer during the catalytic process and significantly improved the catalytic efficiency, with catalytic rate constants of 1.360 and 0.803 min-1 for MB and CR at 20 °C, respectively. The hydrogels were endowed with excellent antimicrobial properties due to the introduction of Ag NPs. In the future, this hydrogel is expected to play an important role in environmental pollution control.

[PMID: 39381252 PMCID: PMC11458969 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 09/07/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Large specific surface area obtained by pyrolyzed biomass is considered as a vital factor in improving the dye adsorption performance. However, pyrolysis would cause the inevitable destruction of the surface functional groups of biomass. Herein, a biomass adsorbent based on sargassum fusiforme without pyrolysis was employed for the removal of methylene blue (MB). Combining the FTIR, XPS, SEM, and BET analysis, sargassum fusiforme bio-adsorbent (SFBA) was found to have low specific surface area whereas rich functional groups, including carboxyl, carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. SFBA presented high adsorption performance towards MB with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1154.05 mg/g, demonstrating that the high adsorption performance could be achieved by abundant functional groups rather than large specific surface area. In this paper, various adsorption parameters including pH, concentration, contact time, and temperature have also been discussed. The results indicated that the kinetic and isotherm models of SFBA followed the pseudo-secondary kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The negative thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. The SFBA enriched with functional groups exhibited high adsorption performance as well as simple fabrication, and abundant sources that could provide a novel alternative for the treatment of dye wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:134941.

Abstract
Water pollution and solid waste resource reuse demand immediate attention and research. Here, we present a method to create anisotropic cellulose sponges from cotton stalk waste. Using the inherent structure of cotton stalks, we selectively remove lignin and hemicellulose via acid and alkali pretreatment. This process yields cellulose sponges with a natural pore structure. Our findings demonstrate that these sponges retain the original pore configuration of cotton stalks, providing excellent connectivity and compressibility due to their unique anisotropic three-dimensional structure. Moreover, these sponges exhibit exceptional super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic properties, with underwater oil contact angles exceeding 150° for all tested oils. External pressure can reduce the pore size of the cellulose sponge, facilitating the gravity-driven separation and removal of dyes and emulsions. Remarkably, removal efficiencies for Methylene Blue (MB), Congo Red (CR), water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, and oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions exceed 99 %, 97 %, 99 %, and 99 %, respectively, highlighting superior removal and recyclability. Further investigation into the mechanisms of dye and emulsion removal employs X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. These insights lay the groundwork for the efficient recycling and resource utilization of waste cotton stalks, offering promising applications in water purification.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have recently attracted growing attention as adsorbents for various pollutants, since they can be extracted from a variety of renewable sources at low cost. An interesting hydrophilic and biodegradable polysaccharide is dextran (Dx), which is well-known for its applications in the food industry and in medicine. To extend the application range of this biopolymer, in this study, we investigated the removal of crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) dyes from an aqueous solution by Dx-based cryogels using the batch technique. The cryogel adsorbents, consisting of cross-linked Dx embedding a polyphenolic (PF) extract of spruce bark, were prepared by the freeze-thawing approach. It was shown that the incorporation of PF into the Dx-based matrix induced a decrease in porosity, pore sizes and swelling ratio values. Moreover, the average pore sizes of the DxPF cryogels loaded with dyes further decreased from 42.30 ± 7.96 μm to 23.68 ± 2.69 μm, indicating a strong interaction between the functional groups of the cryogel matrix and those of the dye molecules. The sorption performances of the DxPF adsorbents were evaluated in comparison to those of the Dx cryogels and of the PF extract. The experimental sorption capacities of the DxPF cryogel adsorbents were higher in comparison to those of the Dx cryogels and the PF extract. The DxPF cryogels, particularly those with the highest PF contents (sample DxPF2), demonstrated sorption capacities of 1.2779 ± 0.0703 mmol·g-1, for CV, and 0.3238 ± 0.0121 mmol·g-1, for MB. The sorption mechanisms were analyzed using mathematical models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms, and kinetic models, like pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), Elovich and intra-particle diffusion (IPD). The sorption process was best described by the Sips isotherm and PSO kinetic models, indicating chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. This study outlines the importance of developing advanced renewable materials for environmental applications.

Abstract
Polymeric hydrogels are among the most studied materials due to their exceptional properties for many applications. In addition to organic and inorganic-based hydrogels, "hybrid hydrogels" have been gaining significant relevance in recent years due to their enhanced mechanical properties and a broader range of functionalities while maintaining good biocompatibility. In this sense, the addition of micro- and nanoscale clay particles seems promising for improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of hydrogels. Nanoclays can contribute to the physical cross-linking of polymers, enhancing their mechanical strength and their swelling and biocompatibility properties. Nowadays, they are being investigated for their potential use in a wide range of applications, including medicine, industry, and environmental decontamination. The use of microorganisms for the decontamination of environments impacted by toxic compounds, known as bioremediation, represents one of the most promising approaches to address global pollution. The immobilization of microorganisms in polymeric hydrogel matrices is an attractive procedure that can offer several advantages, such as improving the preservation of cellular integrity, and facilitating cell separation, recovery, and transport. Cell immobilization also facilitates the biorecovery of critical materials from wastes within the framework of the circular economy. The present work aims to present an up-to-date overview on the different "hybrid hydrogels" used to date for bioremediation of toxic metals and recovery of critical materials, among other applications, highlighting possible drawbacks and gaps in research. This will provide the latest trends and advancements in the field and contribute to search for effective bioremediation strategies and critical materials recovery technologies.

Abstract
With the increase of sustainable development goal, the bio-based adsorption materials with high and selective dye removal are important for water treatment in the dyeing industry. In this paper, a bio-based adsorption foam composed of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified cellulose was prepared by a three-step process, i.e., PEI modification of cellulose fibers (PC), MOF decoration of PEI-modified cellulose (MIL-53@PC), and in-situ foaming with polyurethane. PEI modification provides cellulose fiber with more active sites for both dye adsorption and MOF bonding. We found that MIL-53 crystals were tightly bonded on the surface of PC through hydrogen bonding. Because of the abundant adsorption sites (e.g., amines, iron oxide group), the MIL-53@PC demonstrated high adsorption capacity and selectivity for anionic dye (e.g., 936.5 mg/g for methyl orange) through electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Finally, MIL-53@PC particles were blended with a waterborne polyurethane prepolymer to prepare a three-dimensional hydrophilic foam (MIL-53@PC/PUF), which not only maintained high adsorption capacity and selectivity of MIL-53@PC and also improved its recyclability and reusability. The MIL-53@PC/PUF offers a promising solution for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This present work targets the production of an eco-friendly adsorbent (hereinafter KA/CEL) from kaolin clay functionalized with cellulose extract obtained from peanut shells. The adsorbents were used for decolorization of two different types of organic dyes (cationic: methylene blue, MB; anionic: Congo red, CR) from an aqueous environment. Several analytical methods, including Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (surface properties), Fourier Transforms infrared (functionality), scanning electron microscope, Energy dispersive X-Ray (morphology), and pHpzc test (surface charge), were used to attain the physicochemical characteristics of KA/CEL. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was applied to determine the crucial factors affecting adsorption performance. These included cellulose loading at 25 %, an adsorbent dose of 0.06 g, solution pH set at 10 for MB and 7 for CR, a temperature of 45 °C, and contact times of 12.5 min for MB and 20 min for CR dye. The adsorption data exhibited better agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich models. The Langmuir model estimated the monolayer capacity to be 291.5 mg/g for MB and 130.7 mg/g for CR at a temperature of 45 °C. This study's pivotal finding underscores the promising potential of KA/CEL as an effective adsorbent for treating wastewater contaminated with organic dyes.

Adsorption behavior and mechanism of modified Pinus massoniana pollen microcarriers for extremely efficient and rapid adsorption of cationic methylene blue dye. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133308.

Abstract
Herein, a novel biosorbent was successfully fabricated through a two-step process employing Pinus massoniana pollen as raw material. The efficacy of this biosorbent in eliminating methylene blue (MB), a typical organic cationic dye, from highly concentrated industrial wastewater was investigated. The results demonstrated that by adjusting the wettability of pollen microcarriers, it is possible to significantly increase their adsorption capacity for cationic dyes, resulting in a remarkable 25-fold improvement. The modified Pinus massoniana pollen microcarriers (MPPMC) exhibited an optimal adsorption capacity (585 mg/g) under specific conditions and a rapid equilibrium (97.6% in 5 min, uptake 487.8 mg/g) even at room temperature, showing excellent performance in removing MB efficiently and quickly. It is worth noting that the modified microcarriers could be regenerated via a simple pH-controlled adsorption-desorption cycle, maintaining their superior efficiency (> 99%) even after undergoing five cycles, indicating their excellent reproducibility. The MB adsorption process on MPPMC obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and followed the Langmuir model. Through the introduced modifications, the substantial deprotonation of carboxyl groups notably augmented electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions between MPPMC and MB. Overall, this study offers a sustainable, eco-friendly biological adsorbent, and the MPPMC exhibit the considerable potential for efficient and rapid removal of organic cationic dyes in wastewater.

Abstract
Hydrogel from corncob cellulose was synthesized in this investigation. The synthesized Hydrogel was characterized by SEM, XRD, and FTIR instruments. As the results indicate the synthesized hydrogel has required and important features, these suggest the suitability of hydrogel for the adsorption of methylene blue dye (MBD). Three important process variables (dosage, contact time, and initial concentration) with three levels were studied during the adsorption process at 30 °C and neutral pH. The efficiency of hydrogel for adsorption of MBD was determined in each experiment. The experimental results were statistically analyzed and interpreted. The maximum removal efficiency was achieved at 2.22 g/L of dosage, 80.36 min of contact time, and 74.54 mg/L of initial concentration. At this condition, 98.25% of MBD was achieved through experimental tests. Kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics studies were performed. Langmuir isotherm is more suitable to describe the adsorption process and the Pseudo second-order kinetic model fits this process. From the thermodynamics studies, all negative values of change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), and positive value of change in enthalpy (ΔH°), and change in entropy (ΔS°) indicate that the carried out experimental process is a spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, the regeneration experiment for adsorbent was performed. The treatment of real textile industry waste water was conducted and the removal efficiency of hydrogel was 64.76%. This removal percentage reduction from sythetic aqueous solution is due to involvement of other pollutants in the real waste water. The synthesized hydrogel adsorbent is suitable up to the third cycle without significant loss in removal efficiency.

Abstract
From the environmental perspective, it is essential to develop cheap, eco-friendly, and highly efficient materials for water and wastewater treatment. In this regard, hydrogels and hydrogel-based composites have been widely employed to mitigate global water pollution as this methodology is simple and free from harmful by-products. Notably, alginate and cellulose, which are natural carbohydrate polymers, have gained great attention for their availability, price competitiveness, excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and superior physicochemical performance in water treatment.

[PMID: 37774823 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127113] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and low-cost adsorbents with high adsorption capacity remains a challenge. Herein, chitin nanofiber-polydopamine composite materials (CNDA) have been obtained by surface modification of chitin nanofiber using dopamine. According to the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), polydopamine have been successfully coated on the surface of chitin nanofiber (ChNF). The ability to remove methylene blue (MB) has been analyzed via standard adsorption experiments, indicating that the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) can reach 196.6 mg/g at MB initial concentration of 50 mg/L. Most importantly, the adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics were used to investigate the MB adsorption mechanism on composites. This indicated that the polydopamine on the surface of chitin nanofiber (ChNF) plays an important role in the MB dye adsorption. Moreover, the removal ability of CNDA to metal ions has also been investigated, indicating high capacities for Fe3+, Mn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+. Based on their biodegradability and good adsorption capacity, the CNDA composite material can be considered a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Although Artemisia sphaerocephala krasch gum (ASKG) has attracted growing attention in the field of medical engineering and food industries, however, there are few studies on the gelation of ASKG. In this paper, acrylic acid modified ASKG hydrogels were prepared by radiation induced grafting, cross-linking and polymerization technique for the first time. The semi-IPN structure was prepared by the cross-linked ASKG network and poly-AAc dispersed within the network. The effects of the adsorbed dose on the swelling ratio and gel fraction were investigated. The different acrylic acid content modified ASKG hydrogels (ASKGAAc1 and ASKGAAc2) for methyl blue (MB) adsorption were investigated, and the ASKG hydrogels was also studied for comparison. The influence of pH, contact time, initial concentration, temperature, ion strength on MB adsorption were tested. The results showed that acrylic acid can promote the formation of hydrogel and greatly enhanced the adsorption of ASKG. The adsorption isotherms were well obeyed the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity for MB of ASKG, ASKGAAc1 and ASKGAAc2 were 571.43, 1517.8 and 1654.9 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the MB adsorption by ASKG based hydrogels was exothermic, spontaneous, and more favorable at lower temperature. Furthermore, the adsorption-desorption experiments demonstrated a good reusability of these hydrogels.

Abstract
The quest for advanced water purification technologies has been vigorous over recent decades, motivated by the promise of ever more efficient, greener, and affordable tools. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally-occurring materials that have shown potential as dye sorbents. Unfortunately, these nanoclays suffer from low permeation during water treatment, which limits their widespread application. Here, we use cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as structural scaffolds to support HNTs and fabricate permeable aerogel sorbent materials with mechanical stability. Aerogels containing 40 wt% HNTs showed a maximum dye adsorption capacity of 60 mg g-1 towards methylene blue, with only 15% decay in efficiency after 5 cycles. The good mechanical properties of these materials allowed for their incorporation into free-flowing purification columns that displayed excellent dye removal ability. Overall, this work provides a new strategy to fabricate green, renewable, and low-cost sorbent materials for the removal of dyes and shows potential for the sorption of other ionic pollutants.

Abstract
Low-cost and reliable wastewater treatment is a relevant issue worldwide to reduce the concentration of environmental pollutants. Industrial effluents containing dyes, heavy metals, and other inorganic and organic compounds can pollute water resources; therefore, novel technologies are required to mitigate and control their release into the environment. Adsorption is one of the simplest methods for treating contaminated water in which a wide spectrum of adsorbents can be used to remove emerging compounds. Hydrogels are interesting materials with high adsorption capacities that can be synthesized via green routes. These adsorbents are promising for large-scale industrial wastewater treatment applications; however, gaps still exist in achieving sustainable commercial implementation. This review focuses on the discussion and analysis of preparation, characterization, and adsorption properties of hydrogels for water purification. The advantages of these polymeric materials for water treatment were analyzed, including their performance in the removal of different organic and inorganic contaminants. Recent advances in the functionalization of hydrogels and the synthesis of novel composites have also been described. The adsorption capacities of hydrogel-based adsorbents are higher than 500 mg/g for different organic and inorganic pollutants, and can reach values of up to >2000 mg/g for organic compounds, significantly outperforming other materials reported for water cleaning. The main interactions involved in the adsorption of water pollutants using hydrogel-based adsorbents were described and explained to allow the interpretation of their removal mechanisms. The current challenges in the implementation of hydrogels for water purification in real-life operations are also highlighted. This review provides an updated picture of hydrogels as interesting materials to address water depollution worldwide.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16114082.

Abstract
In this study, a new eco-friendly kaolinite-cellulose (Kaol/Cel) composite was prepared from waste red bean peels (Phaseolus vulgaris) as a source of cellulose to serve as a promising and effective adsorbent for the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye from aqueous solutions. Its characteristics were investigated through the use of X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and zero-point of charge (pHpzc). The Box-Behnken design was used to improve CV adsorption on the composite by testing its primary affecting factors: loading Cel into the composite matrix of Kaol (A: 0-50%), adsorbent dosage (B: 0.02-0.05 g), pH (C: 4-10), temperature (D: 30-60 °C), and duration (E: 5-60 min). The significant interactions with the greatest CV elimination efficiency (99.86%) are as follows: BC (adsorbent dose vs. pH) and BD (adsorbent dose vs. temperature) at optimum parameters (A: 25%, B: 0.05 g, C: 10, D: 45 °C, and E: 17.5 min) for which the CV's best adsorption capacity (294.12 mg/g) was recorded. The Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were the best isotherm and kinetic models fitting our results. Furthermore, the study investigated the mechanisms responsible for eliminating CV by utilizing Kaol/Cel-25. It detected multiple types of associations, including electrostatic, n-π, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding interactions, and Yoshida hydrogen bonding. These findings suggest that Kaol/Cel could be a promising starting material for developing a highly efficient adsorbent that can remove cationic dyes from aqueous environments.

Abstract
The growing concern for the environment has resulted in renewed interest in bio-based resources. This study aims to produce a hydrogel adsorbent from cellulose and examine its adsorption performance. In pursuit of this goal, we report a simple one-pot synthesis of cellulose acetate sulfate (CAS), followed by the formation of CAS hydrogels and their subsequent adsorption performances. The CAS includes both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups, enable the formation of a single-component hydrogel through intermolecular interactions in deionized water. The thermal reversibility of CAS hydrogels makes them easily processable into various shapes. The durability of the CAS hydrogel adsorbents can be improved by introducing divalent cations (e.g., Ca2+), which create ionically crosslinked hydrogels. The ionically a crosslinked CAS hydrogel adsorbent exhibits a maximum adsorption capacity of 245 mg/g for methylene blue (MB) at 23 °C and a pH of 7. The adsorption behavior of MB on the CAS hydrogel follows both the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Furthermore, the CAS hydrogel adsorbent maintains a 70 % removal ratio after five cycles. The simplicity of synthesis and hydrogel formation opens up new possibilities for producing and utilizing cellulose-based hydrogels as adsorbents for aqueous contaminants.

Abstract
Herein, Typha angustifolia was used as a charcoal source and chemically modified with a strong oxidizing agent, potassium permanganate (KMnO4), to obtain modified Typha angustifolia (MTC). Then, the green, stable and efficient CMC/GG/MTC composite hydrogel was successfully prepared by compounding MTC with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GG) by free radical polymerization. Various variables that influence adsorption performance were explored, and optimal adsorption conditions were determined. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model was 805.45, 772.52, and 598.28 mg g-1 for Cu2+, Co2+, and methylene blue (MB), respectively. The XPS results revealed that the main mechanism of removing pollutants by adsorbent is surface complexation and electrostatic attraction. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, the CMC/GG/MTC adsorbent still exhibited good adsorption and regeneration capacity. This study provides a low-cost, effective and simple method for preparation of hydrogels from modified biochar, which has excellent application potential in the removal of heavy metal ions and organic cationic dye contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
One of the main problems with water pollution is dye contamination of rivers, industrial effluents, and water sources. It has endangered the world's sources of drinking water. Several remediation strategies have been carefully developed and tested to minimize this ominous picture. Due to their appealing practical and financial benefits, adsorption methods in particular are often listed as one of the most popular solutions to remediate dye-contaminated water. Biopolymer-based hydrogel nanocomposites are a cutting-edge class of materials with a wide range of applications that are effective in removing organic dyes from the environment. Since the incorporation of various materials into hydrogel matrices generated composite materials with distinct characteristics, these unique materials were often alluded to as ideal adsorbents. The fundamental emphasis of the conceptual and critical review of the literature in this research is the significant potential of hydrogel nanocomposites (HNCs) to remediate dye-contaminated water (especially for articles from the previous five years). The review also provides knowledge for the development of biopolymer-based HNCs, prospects, and opportunities for future research. It is also focused on optimum conditions for dye adsorption processes along with their adsorption kinetics and isotherm models. In summary, the information gained in this review research may contribute to a strengthened scientific rationale for the practical and efficient application of these novel adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Many environmental pollutants caused by uncontrolled urbanization and rapid industrial growth have provoked serious concerns worldwide. These pollutants, including toxic metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons, unenviably compromise the water quality and manifest a severe menace to aquatic entities and human beings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to acquaint bio-nanocomposites with the capability to remove and decontaminate this extensive range of emerging pollutants. Recently, considerable emphasis has been devoted to developing low-cost novel materials obtained from natural resources accompanied by minimal toxicity to the environment. One such component is cellulose, naturally the most abundant organic polymer found in nature. Given bio-renewable sources, natural abundance, and impressive nanofibril arrangement, cellulose-reinforced composites are widely engineered and utilized for multiple applications, such as wastewater decontamination, energy storage devices, drug delivery systems, paper and pulp industries, construction industries, and adhesives, etc. Environmental remediation prospective is among the fascinating application of these cellulose-reinforced composites. This review discusses the structural attributes of cellulose, types of cellulose fibrils-based nano-biocomposites, preparatory techniques, and the potential of cellulose-based composites to remediate a diverse array of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
In view of the deficiencies in the preparation of cellulose gels, such as, cumbersome process, harsh conditions, high consumption of chemicals, secondary pollution caused by side reactions, this work reports a facile approach to make cellulose/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) hydrogels and aerogels via mixing cellulose with N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) and MWCNTs in NaOH/urea/H2O aqueous solution. The gels were revealed to be formed by an addition reaction between the double bonds of MBA and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose and the intermolecular interactions between cellulose and MWCNTs. The preparation process can be realized at room temperature and atmospheric pressure without the intervention of ultrasonic dispersion, catalyst and initiator. The gelation time, puncture strength and water retention ability of the hydrogels were investigated. Results showed that, compared with pure cellulose hydrogel, cellulose/MWNCTs hydrogels have obviously shorter sol-gel transition time (124-129.2 min), higher puncture strength (29.6022-34.2854 KPa) and water retention ability (274.2619-301.7291 g/g). Cellulose/MWCNTs aerogels possessed three dimensional network with macroporous structure (about 500 μm), low density (0.00546-0.00557 g/cm3), high porosity (99.6360-99.6426 %), good thermal stability (242 °C) and certain absorbency to methylene blue (233.2901-242.1122 mg/g).

Abstract
The increasing anthropogenic pressure results in environmental pollution and thus adversely affects the integrity of ecosystems. Consequently, various methods of removing pollutants from effluents have been developed and used to minimise this negative impact, with adsorption on clay minerals identified as the most promising approach. This review examines the adsorption of heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic pollutants on clays/clay minerals and their composites under diverse conditions and deals with the applications of these materials in the construction of engineering barriers for waste management. Additionally, we discuss the efficiency and mechanisms of pollutant adsorption on clays subjected to various treatments and modifications while describing the beneficial effects of such modification/treatment on adsorption performance, reusability, and in vivo/in vitro toxicity.

Abstract
Ethyl cellulose (EC) was filled with bentonite (Bent) particles by mechanical dispersion to produce composite film materials that were studied using various methods. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the inter-chain separation length was larger in EC/Bent composite then those in pure polymer. Infrared spectrometry indicated a formation of hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups of EC and the silanol groups of clay. Tests showed an increase in tensile strength of the polymer material (by 35-40%) when doped with bentonite. It was found that modification of polymer with bentonite resulted in increasing of the adsorption efficiency of methylene blue (MB): the equilibrium concentration of MB ions in adsorbent phase increased 2.5 times. The MB adsorption kinetics obeyed the pseudo-first-order mechanism. Isotherms were in good agreement with Langmuir model. For the composite, the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 4 times higher than that for pure polymer.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a facile and eco-friendly fabrication of hydrogels based on lemon peel (LP) and its isolated microcrystalline cellulose (LPMCC) by direct co-dissolving in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl), followed by direct regeneration in distilled water to form hydrogels. The influence of LP addition on the structure and methylene blue (MB) adsorption of the hydrogels was systematically investigated. The hydrogels displayed a physically cross-linked network through hydrogen bonding interactions. Compared with pure LPMCC hydrogel, the introduction of LP increased the porosity and improved the thermal stability of the hydrogels. The adsorption process of MB on the hydrogels conformed better to the pseudo-second-order kinetic (R2 > 0.993) and Langmuir isotherm models (R2 > 0.996). The MB adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous and exothermic in nature, and was influenced by initial MB concentration, pH, temperature, ionic type and strength. Notably, the introduction of LP improved MB adsorption capacity of the hydrogels. This work develops a facile approach of agricultural by-products based hydrogels using pure cellulose as the structural skeleton and untreated lignocellulose components as the structure modifier.

Abstract
Massive amounts of industrial and agricultural water around the world are polluted by various types of contaminants that harm the environment and affect human health. Alginic acid is a very versatile green polymer used for heavy metal adsorption due to its availability, biocompatibility, low cost, and non-toxic characteristics. The aim of this paper was to prepare new low-cost hybrid composite beads using sodium alginate with treated montmorillonite and kaolin for the adsorption of copper (Cu) cations. Modified and unmodified clays were investigated by studying their morphology and elemental composition, functional groups, and mean particle size and particle size distribution. The characterization of alginate/clay hybrid composite beads was carried out by evaluating surface morphology (by scanning electron microscopy, SEM), crystallinity (by X-ray diffraction, XRD), and point of zero charge (pHpzc)(Zeta Potential Analyzer). Batch adsorption experiments of alginate/clay hybrid composite beads investigated the effect of metal concentration in the range of 1-4 mg L-1 on Cu(II) removal, adsorption kinetic for maximum 240 min, and Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms by using atomic absorption spectrometry. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model best fitted the adsorption for alginate/montmorillonite beads (R2 = 0.994), while the diffusion process was predominant for montmorillonite/kaolin beads (R2 = 0.985). The alginate/clay hybrid materials best fitted the Langmuir isotherm model.

Abstract
The primary, most obvious parameter indicating water quality is the color of the water. Not only can it be aesthetically disturbing, but it can also be an indicator of contamination. Clean, high-quality water is a valuable, essential asset. Of the available technologies for removing dyes, adsorption is the most used method due to its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency. The adsorption process is influenced by several parameters, which are the basis of all laboratories researching the optimum conditions. The main objective of this review is to provide up-to-date information on the most studied influencing factors. The effects of initial dye concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, particle size and temperature are illustrated through examples from the last five years (2017-2021) of research. Moreover, general trends are drawn based on these findings. The removal time ranged from 5 min to 36 h (E = 100% was achieved within 5-60 min). In addition, nearly 80% efficiency can be achieved with just 0.05 g of adsorbent. It is important to reduce adsorbent particle size (with Φ decrease E = 8-99%). Among the dyes analyzed in this paper, Methylene Blue, Congo Red, Malachite Green, Crystal Violet were the most frequently studied. Our conclusions are based on previously published literature.

Abstract
A cellulose-based sodium alginate/iron hydroxide (C/SA/Fe) composite hydrogel was fabricated by using epichlorohydrin as cross-linking agent as an effective adsorbent for dye. The physicochemical structure of the C/SA/Fe hydrogel was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and TG. The adsorption performance for the removal of methylene blue (MB) was investigated. In addition, the selective adsorption of cationic dye was also studied. The FTIR analysis revealed that the Fe(OH)3 colloidal particles was successfully combined in the cellulose/sodium alginate hydrogel. The modified hydrogel had better adsorption performance, and the maximum adsorption capacity of C/SA/Fe0.5 for MB was 105.93 mg/g according to the fitting results of adsorption isotherm. The kinetic study showed that MB adsorption of C/SA/Fe was more consistent with the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption of MB in C/SA/Fe was dominated by chemisorption mechanism such as ion exchange or electron sharing. The adsorption data fits well with the Langmuir model. Thermodynamics analysis showed that the MB adsorption by C/SA/Fe was exothermic, spontaneous, favorable and feasible. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity was almost unchanged. So, the C/SA/Fe hydrogel is a potential material in the field of the recovery of agricultural by-products or other bio-based cellulose, or environmental protection, etc.

Abstract
This study aimed to quantify the influence of clays and partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) on gelation as well as characterise their physical and chemical interactions. Mixtures of Laponite and montmorillonite clays with OCNF form shear-thinning gels that are more viscous across the entire shear range than OCNF on its own. Viscosity and other rheological properties can be fine-tuned using different types of clay at different concentrations (0.5-2 wt%). Laponite particles are an order of magnitude smaller than those of montmorillonite (radii of 150 Å compared to 2000 Å) and are therefore able to facilitate networking of the cellulose fibrils, resulting in stronger effects on rheological properties including greater viscosity. This work presents a mechanism for modifying rheological properties using renewable and environmentally-friendly nanocellulose and clays which could be used in a variety of industrial products including home and personal care formulations.

Cellulose Pulp- and Castor Oil-Based Polyurethanes for Lubricating Applications: Influence of Streptomyces Action on Barley and Wheat Straws. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12122822. [PMID: 33261191 PMCID: PMC7761408 DOI: 10.3390/polym12122822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2020] [Revised: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The replacement of mineral oils and non-renewable gelling agents is an imperative requirement for the lubricant industry in the near future. In this framework, cellulose pulp and castor oil are proposed as sustainable substitutes for these components. Biological treatment has been explored and evaluated to enhance the dispersing and thickening properties of cellulose pulp in oil media. Streptomyces sp. MDG147 and MDG301 strains were employed to modify agricultural wheat and barley straw residues from which cellulose pulp was obtained afterwards. In addition, an environmentally friendly process for the production of cellulose-pulp-/castor-oil-based polyurethanes was applied, in which neither catalysts nor harmful solvents were used, resulting in chemical oleogels. These oleogels were rheologically and tribologically characterized to evaluate their performance as lubricating greases. The enzymatic activity pattern developed was dependent on the raw material, the strain type, and the temperature, influencing the cellulose pulp's composition, polymerization degree, and crystallinity. These modified characteristics tuned the rheological behavior of the different oleogels, providing a beneficial range of viscoelastic responses and viscosity values that were generally favored by the Streptomyces action. Furthermore, the friction coefficient and dimensions of wear scars measured in a tribological contact were comparable to, or even lower than, those found with commercial and other bio-based lubricating greases that have previously been studied.

Abstract
High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as template for fabrication of porous materials has attracted much attention, due to the high porosity and tunable porous structure. But the enormous consumption of organic solvents is still a nightmare for the practical application. In comparison, the aqueous foam without need any organic solvent and hence has greater advantages in the porous materials preparation. In this study, a novel Pickering foam which was stabilized by modified sepiolite (Sep) was prepared and applied as the template for preparation of the porous material via thermal-initiated polymerization. The Pickering foam had excellent ability and stability in the pH of 4-11 and the obtained porous adsorbent possess sufficient and tuned pore structure. The porous materials as adsorbent has favorable performance for adsorption and selective removal of cationic dyes, and the understanding adsorption capacities for Methylene blue (MB) and Methyl green (MG) can be achieved with 1421.18 mg/g and 638.81 mg/g within 60 and 45 min at 25 °C, respectively. This porous material can be as the potential adsorbent for adsorption or separation of organic pollutants.

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
With increasing resource shortage and environmental pollution, it is preferable to utilize materials which are sustainable and biodegradable. Side-streams products generated from the food processing industry is one potential avenue that can be used in a wide range of applications. In this study, the food by-product okara was effectively reused for the extraction of cellulose. Then, the okara cellulose was further employed to fabricate cellulose hydrogels with favorable mechanical properties, biodegrablability, and non-cytotoxicity. The results showed that it could be biodegraded in soil within 28 days, and showed no cytotoxicity on NIH3T3 cells. As a proof of concept, a demostration of wearable and biocompatible strain sensor was achieved, which allowed a good and stable detection of human body movement behaviors. The okara-based hydrogels could provide an alternative platform for further physical and/or chemical modification towards tissue engineering, medical supplies, or smart biomimetic soft materials.

Adsorption technology, as a facile and effective method, has been extensively used for removing dyes from aqueous solutions for decades. Numerous researchers have attempted to seek or design alternative materials for dye adsorption. However, using various novel adsorbents to remove dyes has not been extensively reviewed before. In this review, the key advancement on the preparation and modification of novel adsorbents and their adsorption capacities for dyes removal under various conditions have been highlighted and discussed. Specific adsorption mechanisms and functionalization methods, particularly for increasing adsorption capacities are discussed for each adsorbent. This review article mainly includes (1) the categorization, side effects and removal technologies of dyes; (2) the characteristics, advantages and limitations of each sort of adsorbents; (3) the functionalization and modification methods and controlling mechanisms; and (4) discussion on the problems and future perspectives about adsorption technology from adsorbents aspects and practical application aspects.

Abstract
An effective and friendly method was developed for the production of reducing sugars (RS) from the hydrolysis of cellulose over the solid catalyst of Ca-montmorillonite (Mt) grafted by non-acidic ionic liquid (Mt-IL) in water. The effect of mass ratio, water dosage, reaction temperature, and time were investigated in a batch reactor. Raw Mt showed only a 7.9% total reducing sugars (TRS) yield for the catalytic hydrolysis of cellulose in water. As the Mt was grafted by -SO3H and IL, the TRS yield greatly increased under the same reaction conditions. The highest TRS yield of 35.7% was obtained on the catalyst of Mt grafted by non-acidic IL at 200 °C with the mass ratio of catalyst to cellulose of 0.2 for 120 min. The high TRS yield for Mt-IL should be attributed to the synergistic effect of the dissolution of cellulose by IL and the exposed metal ions on the layer with water. Although the yield of TRS on Mt-IL decreased gradually with recycling runs, the decrease after the first run was not very serious compared to the fresh catalyst. This work provides a promising strategy for efficient cellulose hydrolysis into fine chemicals by Mt with non-acidic IL.
