CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142537. [PMID: 38844101 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
The discharge of heavy metals into the environment has adversely affected the aquatic ecosystem due to their toxic and non-biodegradable nature. In this research, a three-dimensional graphene oxide/carboxymethylcellulose/aluminium sulphate (GOCAS) aerogel was synthesised and evaluated as a novel means for lead and zinc removal. The GOCAS aerogel was prepared via ice-templating of graphene oxide with carboxymethylcellulose and aluminium sulphate as the crosslinking and functionalisation additives. Characterisation of the aerogel by various analytical techniques confirmed the successful integration of the chemical additives. The hydroxyl and sulphate groups in the aerogel were found to participate in the adsorption of both metals. The equilibrium of lead adsorption was found to correlate well to the Freundlich isotherm, while zinc adsorption fitted closely the Langmuir isotherm. The kinetic adsorption behaviour of both metals was best described as pseudo-second-order. The interactive influences of concentration, temperature, contact time and adsorbent dose on the metal removal were explored by a central composite design, and the optimum adsorption capacity for lead was determined to be 138.7 mg/g at a GOCAS dose of 20 mg, initial concentration of 100 mg/L, temperature of 50 °C and contact time of 45 min. The optimum adsorption capacity for zinc was 52.69 mg/g at 30 mg, 65 mg/L, 45 °C and 40 min. Furthermore, regeneration studies with hydrochloric acid eluant were successfully conducted for up to four adsorption-desorption cycles. Overall, this work demonstrates that GOCAS aerogel is a viable nanosorbent for the adsorption of lead and zinc from water systems.

Gupta S, Saud A, Munira N, Allal A, Preud'homme H, Shomar B, Zaidi SJ. Removal of heavy metals from wastewater by aerogel derived from date palm waste. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 245:118022. [PMID: 38151152 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.118022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
Cellulose that has been sourced from date palm leaves as a primary component was utilised. This cellulose served as the foundational material for the development of an aerogel composite. During this process, MXene (Ti3C2Tx) played a pivotal role in enhancing the overall composition of the aerogel. To ensure the stability and durability of the resulting aerogel structure, calcium ions were introduced to the mix. These ions facilitated the cross-linking process of sodium alginate molecules, ultimately leading to the formation of calcium alginate. This cross-linking step is crucial for the enhanced mechanical and chemical stability of the aerogel. Incorporating alginate and Ti3C2Tx into the cellulose aerogel enhanced its structural integrity in aqueous conditions and increased its adsorption capacity. When evaluated with synthetic wastewater, this composite exhibited remarkable adsorption capacities of 72.9, 114.4, 92.9, and 123.9 mg/g for As, Cd, Ni, and Zn ions, respectively. A systematic study was carried out to see the effect of various parameters, including contact time, MXene concentration, pH, and temperature on the adsorption of these elements. Peak adsorption was achieved at 60 min, favoring a pH range between 6 and 8 and exhibited optimal sorption efficiency at lower temperatures. The adsorption kinetics adhered closely to a pseudo-second-order, while the Freundlich model adeptly described the adsorption isotherms. An interesting result of this research was the aerogel's regenerative potential. After undergoing a basic acid treatment, the MXene/cellulose/alginate aerogel composite could be restored and reused for up to three cycles, all while maintaining its core performance capabilities even after the rigorous cross-linking processes. In three consecutive cycles, the removal percentages for As, Cd, Ni, and Zn were 48.15%, 80.38%, 56.51%, and 86.12% in cycle 1; 37.35%, 65.63%, 45.97%, and 78.42% in cycle 2; and 28.60%, 56.22%, 34.70%, and 65.83% in cycle 3, respectively. The composite was tested in conditions resembling seawater salinity. Impressively, the aerogel continued to demonstrate a significant ability to adsorb metals, reinforcing its potential utility in real-world aquatic scenarios. These findings suggest that the composite aerogel, integrating MXene, cellulose, and alginate, is an effective medium for the targeted removal of heavy metals from aquatic environments.

An efficient magnetic nanoadsorbent based on functionalized graphene oxide with gellan gum hydrogel embedded with MnFe layered double hydroxide for adsorption of Indigo carmine from water. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127479.

Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to synthesize a novel antibacterial nanocomposite consisting of natural gellan gum (GG) hydrogel, MnFe LDH, GO, and Fe3O4 nanoparticle, which was developed to adsorb Indigo carmine (IC). The GG hydrogel/MnFe LDH/GO/Fe3O4 nanocomposite was characterized through different analytical, microscopic, and biological methods. The results of adsorption experiments reveal that 0.004 g of the nanocomposite can remove 98.38 % of IC from a solution with an initial concentration of 100 mg/L, within 1 h at room temperature and under acidic pH conditions. Moreover, the nanocomposite material effectively suppressed the in vitro growth of both E. coli and S. aureus strains, with inhibitory rates of 62.33 % and 53.82 %, respectively. The isotherm data obtained in this investigation were fitted by linear and non-linear forms of Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms equations. The results of the adsorption kinetics study indicated that the pseudo-second-order model best described the experimental data. The findings of this study suggest that the synthesized nanocomposites hold great potential as effective adsorbents for removing IC and bacteria from aqueous solutions.

A Lotus Seedpods-Inspired Interfacial Solar Steam Generator with Outstanding Salt Tolerance and Mechanical Properties for Efficient and Stable Seawater Desalination. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2304877.

Abstract
Interfacial solar steam generators (ISSGs) can capture solar energy and concentrate the heat at the gas-liquid interface, resulting in efficient water evaporation. However, traditional ISSGs have limitations in long-term seawater desalination processes, such as limited light absorption area, slow water transport speed, severe surface salt accumulation, and weak mechanical performance. Inspired by lotus seedpods, a novel ISSG (rGO-SA-PSF) is developed by treating a 3D warp-knitted spacer fabric with plasma (PSF) and combining it with sodium alginate (SA) and reduces graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO-SA-PSF utilizes a core-suction effect to achieve rapid water pumping and employs aerogel to encapsulate the plasma-treated spacer yarns to create the lotus seedpod-inspired hydrophilic stems, innovatively constructing multiple directional water transport channels. Simultaneously, the large holes of rGO-SA-PSF on the upper layer form lotus seedpod-inspired head concave holes, enabling efficient light capture. Under 1 kW m-2 illumination, rGO-SA-PSF exhibits a rapid evaporation rate of 1.85 kg m-2 h-1 , with an efficiency of 96.4%. Additionally, it shows superior salt tolerance (with no salt accumulation during continuous evaporation for 10 h in 10% brine) and self-desalination performance during long-term seawater desalination processes. This biomimetic ISSG offers a promising solution for efficient and stable seawater desalination and wastewater purification.

Abstract
The recovery of biomass from agricultural and forestry waste could realize effective utilization of waste and synthesis of novel adsorbent. Herein, porous biochar was prepared from waste ginkgo biloba leaves and modified by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (RAFT). And the prepared adsorbent exhibited excellent adsorption capacity owing to its abundant functional groups and porous structure. In addition, the adsorption capacities of the prepared adsorbent for Malachite Green (MG), Amaranth (AM) and Cr (Ⅵ) were 422.59, 373.75 and 368.82 mg/g, respectively, surpassing those of many previously reported materials. Subsequently, the influence of various factors on adsorption performance was studied. The results showed that adsorption of MG, AM and Cr (Ⅵ) on adsorbent followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models and the adsorbent also displayed excellent cycling performance. The experimental results of application in various water samples showed that the adsorbent had outstanding adsorption performance in real water samples, further proving that the adsorbent had wide application and practicability. Finally, a simple adsorption column was used for filtration experiments to simulate industrial application. The results were exhibited that the adsorbent had great potential in treating wastewater containing MG, AM and Cr (Ⅵ).

Abstract
Materials based on cellulose have been widely used as a decontaminant agent of wastewater. However, it can not be found in the literature any application of the cationic dialdehyde cellulose (cDAC) in anionic dye removal. Therefore, this study aims a circular economy concept using sugarcane bagasse to obtain a functionalized cellulose by oxidation and cationization. cDAC was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, oxidation degree, and DSC. Adsorption capacity was evaluated by pH, kinetic, concentration effect, strength ionic tests, and recycling. The kinetic followed Elovich model (R2 = 0.92605 for EBT = 100 mg/L) and non-linear Langmuir model (R2 = 0.94542), which resulted in a maximum adsorption capacity of 563.30 mg/g. The cellulose adsorbent reached an efficient recyclability of 4 cycles. Thus, this work presents a potential material to become a new, clean, low-cost, recyclable, and environmentally friendly alternative for effluent decontamination-containing dyes.

Abstract
Polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-grafted fly ash composite (PDA/PEI/FA), an efficient multifunctional adsorbent for U(VI) with excellent separation efficiency (94.5 %) and capacity (422.5 mg/g), was synthesized by grafting PDA and PEI on FA via Mussel inspiration and Michael addition reaction. The introduction of PDA and PEI had brought numerous functional groups with fine affinities to uranium, like catechol, amino and imino, causing good U(VI) separation performances. Langmuir and Pseudo-second-order models were well matched with experimental data, illustrating the U(VI) separation on PDA/PEI/FA was a homogeneous chemical adsorption process. After five cycles, the U(VI) adsorption efficiency for PDA/PEI/FA was still up to 90.2 %, implying that PDA/PEI/FA possessed good stability and reusability. Besides, the good dynamic adsorption performances of PDA/PEI/FA further demonstrated that PDA/PEI/FA was an ideal adsorbent for the practical wastewater treatment. According to the characterization results, U(VI) was absorbed by PAD/PEI/FA through complexation, redox reaction, electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. Given the above, PDA/PEI/FA showed good practical application prospect in U(VI) separation.

Abstract
The presence of pollutants in waste water is a demanding problem for human health. Investigations have been allocated to study the adsorptive behavior of graphene-based materials to remove pollutants from wastewater. Graphene (GO) due to its hydrophilicity, high surface area, and oxygenated functional groups, is an effective adsorbent for the removal of dyes and heavy metals from water. The disclosure of green synthesis opened the gateway for the economic productive methods. This article reveals the fabrication of graphene-based composite from aloe vera extract using a green method. The proposed mechanism of GO reduction via plant extract has also been mentioned in this work. The mechanism associated with the removal of dyes and heavy metals by graphene-based adsorbents and absorptive capacities of heavy metals has been discussed in detail. The toxicity of heavy metals has also been mentioned here. The Polyaromatic resonating system of GO develops significant π-π interactions with dyes whose base form comprises principally oxygenated functional groups. This review article illustrates a literature survey by classifying graphene-based composite with a global market value from 2010 to 2025 and also depicts a comparative study between green and chemical reduction methods. It presents state of art for the fabrication of GO with novel adsorbents such as metal, polymer, metal oxide and elastomers-based nanocomposites for the removal of pollutants. The current progress in the applications of graphene-based composites in antimicrobial, anticancer, drug delivery, and removal of dyes with photocatalytic efficacy of 73% is explored in this work. It gives a coherent overview of the green synthesis of graphene-based composite, various prospective for the fabrication of graphene, and their biotoxicity.

Abstract
Locust bean gum (LBG), a vegetable galactomannan extracted from carob tree seeds, is extensively used in the food industry as a thickening agent (E410). Its molecular conformation in aqueous solutions determines its solubility and rheological performance. LBG is an interesting polysaccharide also because of its synergistic behavior with other biopolymers (xanthan gum, carrageenan, etc.). In addition, this hydrocolloid is easily modified by derivatization or crosslinking. These LBG-related products, besides their applications in the food industry, can be used as encapsulation and drug delivery devices, packaging materials, batteries, and catalyst supports, among other biopharmaceutical and industrial uses. As the new derivatized or crosslinked polymers based on LBG are mainly biodegradable and non-toxic, the use of this polysaccharide (by itself or combined with other biopolymers) will contribute to generating greener products, considering the origin of raw materials used, the modification procedures selected and the final destination of the products.

Abstract
The effective utilization of biomass and the purification of dye wastewater are urgent problems. In this study, a biomass aerogel (CaCO3@starch/polyacrylamide/TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose, CaCO3@STA/PAM/TOCN) was prepared by combining nanocellulose with starch and introducing calcium carbonate nanoparticles, which exhibited a rich three-dimensional layered porous structure with a very light mass. Starch and nanocellulose can be grafted onto the molecular chain of acrylamide, while calcium carbonate nanopores can make the gel pore size uniform and have excellent swelling properties. Here, various factors affecting the adsorption behavior of this aerogel, such as pH, contact time, ambient temperature, and initial concentration, are investigated. From the kinetic data, it can be obtained that the adsorption process fits well with the pseudo-second-order. The Langmuir isotherm model can fit the equilibrium data well. The thermodynamic data also demonstrated the spontaneous and heat-absorbing properties of anionic and cationic dyes on CaCO3@STA/PAM/TOCN aerogels. The adsorption capacity of Congo red (CR) and methylene blue (MB) by CaCO3@STA/PAM/TOCN was 277.76 mg/g and 101.01 mg/g, respectively. Therefore, cellulose and starch-based aerogels can be considered promising adsorbents for the treatment of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Constructing lightweight and porous adsorbents which can effectively remove dye contaminants is of great significance in the field of the sewage treatment. In this work, anisotropic cellulose nanofibril (CNF) composite sponges assisted by rectorites are fabricated through directional freeze-drying. The resulted composite sponge exhibits the superior saturated adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of 120.0 mg/g and 96.1% for methylene blue (MB), respectively, which is better than the pure CNF sponge and rectorite powders. This is attributed to the strong electrostatic interaction between CNFs and MB, and good cation exchange property of rectorites inside the three-dimensional (3D) highly porous composite sponge. The MB adsorption process of the composite sponge fits to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model well, which is affected by both boundary layer and intraparticle diffusion, resulting in a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of 214.6 mg/g. Moreover, it also possesses a selective adsorption capacity for anionic and cationic dyes, which is expected to realize the separation treatment of different dyes according to actual application requirements.

Abstract
Toxic dyes in wastewater will become a significant hazard to human health if they are not treated effectively. Therefore, it is significant to separate and remove dyes from the aqueous solution. C and O co-doped BN (BCNO) with high adsorption capacity and outstanding cycle efficiency is a simple and efficient adsorbent for the cationic dye malachite green (MG). Glucose is characterized as an eco-friendly and cheap source of C and O. Benefited by the high specific surface area (1515.6 m2/g), the maximum adsorption capacity of MG is 1511.1 mg/g. Besides, the curves of adsorption fitting correspond to the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Moreover, after 5 cycles, the adsorption efficiency reached 78% of the first time and the adsorption capacity remained above 780 mg/g. Furthermore, in the selectivity adsorption study, the cationic dyes (MG, neutral red (NR), methylene blue (MB)) can be removed more effectively in the binary dye system of MG-methyl orange (MO), NR-MO, MB-MO, MG-Orange II (OR), MB-OR, or NR-OR. BCNO-2 has a promising application in the removal of cationic dyes from complex dye wastewaters.

Abstract
The phenomenon that calcium alginate does not exhibit high adsorption capacity as a carrier material has not been reasonably explained or solved. In this paper, a new viewpoint that the orbital energy level of metal ions and the binding degree of the α-l-guluronate and β-d-mannuronate units affect the adsorption performance of the composite was innovatively proposed. Taking barium alginate (BA) as an example, the possibility of replacing calcium alginate is discussed. Barium alginate/graphene oxide (BA/GO) membranes and three-dimensional (3D) barium alginate-bentonite-graphene oxide derived (3D-BA) hydrogels were prepared by vacuum freeze-drying to remove methylene blue. The structure and morphology of the prepared adsorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effects of adsorbent dosage, doping ratio, temperature, contact time, pH value and initial dye concentration on the adsorption performance of BA composites were investigated. The adsorption capacities of the BA/GO and 3D-BA materials were 1011.3 and 710.3 mg/g, respectively. The BA/GO membrane exhibited stable filtration performance against high concentrations of dyes. Benefiting from the strong interaction between bentonite, sodium alginate and Ba2+, the 3D-BA hydrogel showed higher thermal stability and better adsorption efficiency than other materials. The Elovich kinetic model and Sips equation can appropriately describe the adsorption process. The results show that barium alginate is a better carrier material than calcium alginate.

Abstract
An aromatic heterocyclic compound, 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT), was used to decorate graphene oxide (GO) by a facile hydrothermal self-assembly procedure. The developed three-dimensional (3D) GO-ABT composite aerogels could be utilized as high-powered and sustainable adsorbents for the enrichment and recovery of low concentration rare earth elements (REEs) from aqueous solutions. The composition and microstructure of GO-ABT composites were explored various characterization methods. The enrichment properties of GO-ABT composites for REEs were investigated in detail, revealing the existence of S-, N- and -NH2 in ABT, as well as the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of GO which might act as the major REE binding sites. The adsorption of GO-ABT composites for low concentration REEs could reach equilibrium in 30 min. Our investigations confirmed that the optimal pH value of GO-ABT composites for REEs was pH 4.0-5.0. For the adsorbent regeneration study, 50.0 mg of GO-ABT15:1/120 °C/6 h composite was used toward 20.0 mL of Er3+ solutions. After ten regeneration cycles, the adsorption rates of GO-ABT composites for Er3+ remained around 100%, and the desorption rates maintained over 90%. The long-term storage of the adsorbent did not affect its adsorption ability, while desorption rates increased, indicating it possessed relatively higher stability.

Abstract
The novel MnxTi1-xOy composite materials with different mole ratios (Mn to Ti = 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3) were prepared to remove uranium species from wastewater. These composite materials were characterized by various techniques, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the chitosan in MnxTi1-x-Chi were completely removed after calcination at 650 °C and MnxTi1-xOy composites possessed uniform distribution of the porous structure as well as plentiful hydroxyl-containing groups. Moreover, the as-prepared MnxTi1-xOy composite materials were applied to remove uranium from solution to evaluate the adsorption performance. It was found that the Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy possessed relatively excellent uptake performance for uranium comparing with the Mn0.3Ti0.7Oy and Mn0.7Ti0.3Oy and its maximum uptake capacity and efficiency reach 695.2 mg/g and 98.6% (pH = 4, m/V = 0.1 g/L, T = 298 K), respectively, which were much superior than most of reported materials based on titanium oxide or manganese oxide. Besides, the uranium uptake on Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy was independent on ionic strength and it had considerable reusability, which might be the necessary condition for Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy to be applied in uranium uptake from uranium-containing wastewater. As a candidate adsorbent, Mn0.5Ti0.5Oy possessed a high potentiality to remove uranium from wastewater.
