Abstract
Nanohydroxyapatite (n-HAP), recognized by its peculiar crystal architecture and distinctive attributes showcased the underlying potential in adsorbing heavy metal ions (HMI). In this paper, the intrinsic mechanism of HMI adsorption by n-HAP was first revealed. Subsequently, the selectivity and competitiveness of n-HAP for HMI in a variety of environments containing various interferences from cations, anions, and organic molecules are elucidated. Next, n-HAP was further categorized according to its morphological dimensions, and its adsorption properties and intrinsic mechanisms were investigated based on these different morphologies. It was shown that although n-HAP has excellent adsorption capacity and cost-effectiveness, its application is often challenging to realize due to its inherent fragility and agglomeration, the technical problems required for its handling, and the difficulty of recycling. Finally, to address these issues, this paper discusses the tendency of n-HAP and its hybridized/modified materials to adsorb HMI as well as the limitations of their applications. By summarizing the limitations and future directions of hybridization/modification HAP in the field of HMI contamination abatement, this paper provides insightful perspectives for its gradual improvement and rational application.

Abstract
In order to study the effects of oxalic acids on plant growth and Pb accumulation in different parts of the plants of intercropping Arabis alpina and Zea mays, pot experiment was conducted to investigate the changes of oxalic acid contents of the plants and Pb accumulation through exogenous oxalic acid addition (0, 5, 25 and 50 mmol kg-1). The results showed the root biomass of intercropped A. alpina and total biomass of Z. mays increased by 3.22 folds and 2.97 folds with 5 mmol kg-1 oxalic acid treatment. The oxalic acid contents of shoots and root secretions decreased by 86.5% and 44.3%, respectively. The BCF (bio-accumulation factor) and TF (translocation factor) of intercropping A. alpina reduced under 25 - 50 mmol kg-1 oxalic acid treatments. There were relationships between exogenous oxalic acid treatment concentrations and oxalic acid contents of A. alpina shoots, Z. mays root secretions. The Pb contents of shoots of A. alpina and Z. mays were related to exogenous oxalic acid additions and oxalic acid contents of shoots. In general, 5 mmol kg-1 oxalic acid treatment, that can improve plant growth of intercropped A. alpina and Z. mays, which Pb translocation and accumulation of A. alpina were promoted, whereas Pb accumulation of A. alpina was inhibited with 25 - 50 mmol kg-1 concentrations addition. This study will provide a basis for promoting the application of phytoremediation techniques and efficient crop production in heavy metal contaminated areas.

Abstract
Phosphate addition is commonly applied to remediate lead contaminated sites via the formation of lead phosphate particles with low solubility. However, the effects of natural organic matter (NOM) with different properties, as well as the contributions of specific interactions (particle-particle, particle-NOM, and NOM-NOM) in enhanced stabilization or flocculation of the particles, are not currently well understood. This study investigates the influence of two aquatic NOM and two soil or coal humic acid (HA) extracts on the aggregation behavior of lead phosphate particles and explores the controlling mechanisms. All types of NOM induced disaggregation and steric stabilization of the particles in the presence of Na+ (100 mM) or low (1 mM) Ca2+ concentrations, as well as at low NOM concentrations (1 mgC/L). However, for the soil and coal HA, a threshold at NOM concentrations of 10 mgC/L and high (3 mM) Ca2+ concentrations was observed where bridging flocculation (rather than steric stabilization) occurred. In situ attenuated total reflectance - Fourier transform infrared characterization confirmed adsorption of the soil and coal humic acid extracts (10 mgC/L) onto the surface of the lead phosphate particles in 3 mM Ca2+, whereas dynamic and static light scattering demonstrated extensive HA flocculation that dominated the overall scattered light intensities. These results imply that the accelerated aggregation was induced by a combination of HA adsorption and bridging flocculation by Ca2+. Overall, this research demonstrates that the type of NOM is critical to predict the colloidal stability of lead phosphate particles. Aquatic NOM stabilized the particles under all conditions evaluated, but soil or coal HA with higher molecular weight and aromaticity showed highly variable stabilization or flocculation behavior depending on the HA and Ca2+ concentrations available to adsorb to the particles and participate in bridging. These results provide new mechanistic insights on particle stabilization or destabilization by NOM.

Abstract
Widespread lead (Pb) contamination prompts various environmental problems and accounts for about 1% of the global disease burden. Thus, it has necessitated the demand for eco-friendly clean-up approaches. Fungi provide a novel and highly promising approach for the remediation of Pb-containing wastewater. The current study examined the mycoremediation capability of a white rot fungus, P. opuntiae, that showed effective tolerance to increasing concentrations of Pb up to 200 mg L−1, evidenced by the Tolerance Index (TI) of 0.76. In an aqueous medium, the highest removal rate (99.08%) was recorded at 200 mg L−1 whereas intracellular bioaccumulation also contributed to the uptake of Pb in significant amounts with a maximum of 24.59 mg g−1. SEM was performed to characterize the mycelium, suggesting changes in the surface morphology after exposure to high Pb concentrations. LIBS indicated a gradual change in the intensity of some elements after exposure to Pb stress. FTIR spectra displayed many functional groups including amides, sulfhydryl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups on the cell walls that led to binding sites for Pb and indicated the involvement of these groups in biosorption. XRD analysis unveiled a mechanism of biotransformation by forming a mineral complex as PbS from Pb ion. Further, Pb fostered the level of proline and MDA at a maximum relative to the control, and their concentration reached 1.07 µmol g−1 and 8.77 nmol g−1, respectively. High Pb concentration results in oxidative damage by increasing the production of ROS. Therefore, the antioxidant enzyme system provides a central role in the elimination of active oxygen. The enzymes, namely SOD, POD, CAT, and GSH, served as most responsive to clear away ROS and lower the stress. The results of this study suggested that the presence of Pb caused no visible adverse symptoms in P. opuntiae. Moreover, biosorption and bioaccumulation are two essential approaches involved in Pb removal by P. opuntiae and are established as worthwhile agents for the remediation of Pb from the environment.

Abstract
Metastable ferrihydrite is omnipresent in environments and can influence the fate of Pb(II) during ferrihydrite transformation. Ferrihydrite is rarely pure and often coexists with impurities, which may influence the mineralogical changes of ferrihydrite and Pb(II) behavior. In this work, we investigated the effect of malic acid or phosphate on Pb(II)-ferrihydrite coprecipitates (Fh-Pb) transformation and the subsequent fate of Pb(II) during the 10-day aging of Fh-Pb. Results showed that both malic acid and phosphate retarded Fh-Pb transformation and prevented the release of Pb(II) from Fh-Pb back into solutions. Pb(II) was beneficial to goethite formation by inhibiting hematite formation while both malic acid and phosphate inhibited goethite formation since they could act as templates of nucleation. Besides, malic acid and phosphate improved the proportion of non-extracted Pb(II) during Fh-Pb transformation, indicating that Pb(II) was incorporated into secondary minerals. Pb(II) could not replace Fe(III) within the crystal lattice due to its large radius but was occluded into pores and defect structures within the secondary mineral lattices. This work can advance our understanding of the influences of malic acid and phosphate on Pb(II) immobility during Fh-Pb aging.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 855:158831.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) contamination is one of the most significant exposure hazards to human health. Contaminated soil particles may be eroded and transferred either to the atmosphere (<10 μm) or to streams; or they may be incidentally ingested (<200 μm). Among strategies for the long-term management of this risk, one of the most cost-effective is the reduction of Pb mobility and bioavailability via amendment with phosphorus-containing materials. To clarify the effectiveness of P amendment in reducing Pb mobility and bioaccessibility in different soil size fractions, an experiment was performed by adding a soluble P compound to a historically contaminated urban soil (RO), a mining soil (MI), and an uncontaminated spiked soil (SP) at different P:Pb molar ratios (2.5:1, 5:1, and 15:1). In the <10 μm fraction of soils, P addition reduced bioaccessible Pb only in the SP soil at the highest dose, with little to no effect on RO and MI soils. Similarly, in the coarse fraction, Pb was immobilized only in the SP soil with all three P doses. These results were probably due to the higher stability of Pb in historically contaminated soils, where Pb dissolution is the limiting factor to the formation of insoluble Pb compounds. The bioaccessible proportion of Pb (using SBET method) was higher than 70 % of the total Pb in all soils and was similar in both fine and coarse particle fractions. Due to the enrichment of Pb in finer particles, this implies possible adverse effects to the environment or to human health if these particles escape from the soil. These results call for increasing attention to the effect of remediation activities on fine soil particles, considering their significant environmental role especially in urban and in historically low or moderately contaminated areas.

Abstract
Microbial induced phosphate precipitation (MIPP) is an advanced bioremediation technology to reduce the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs), but the high level of HMs would inhibit the growth of phosphate solubilizing microbes. This study proposed a new combination system for the remediation of multiple HMs contaminated acidic mine soil, which included hydroxyapatite (HAP) and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium, PC) that had high phosphate solubilizing ability and HMs tolerance. Experimental data suggested that in HAP/PC treatment after 35 d of remediation, labile Cr, Zn and As could be transformed into the stable fraction with the maximum immobilization efficiencies increased by 53.01 %, 22.43 %, and 35.65 %, respectively. The secretion of organic acids by P. chrysosporium was proved to promote the dissolution of HAP. Besides, the pH value, available phosphorus (AP) and organic matter (OM) increased in treated soil than in original soil, which also indicated the related dissolution-precipitation mechanism of HMs immobilization. Additionally, characterization results revealed that adsorption and ion exchange also played an important role in the remediation process. The overall results suggested that applying P. chrysosporium coupled with HAP could be considered as an efficient strategy for the remediation of multiple HMs contaminated mine soil and laid a foundation for the future exploration of soil microenvironment response during the remediation process.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) are common soil contaminants, environmentally hazardous, and threats to public health. Addition of soluble phosphate is known to be effective for in situ remediation of Pb-contaminated soils, but phosphate additions displace As from the soil particles and increase As concentration in soil solution. This study examined the dual use of iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) amendments to soil that was highly contaminated with As and Pb. The test soil originated from a former smelter site in Utah with As and Pb concentrations of 66,400 mg Pb kg-1 and 7,520 mg As kg-1 . Goethite, ferrihydrite, and Fe-rich water treatment residuals (Fe-WTRs) were added to immobilize As, and soluble P was added to reduce Pb lability. The Fe amendments were added in Fe/As molar ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:10, and P was added in P/Pb molar ratios ranging from 0.2:1 to 5:1. Iron-rich water treatment residuals were found to be the most effective Fe amendment. When Fe-WTR and P were added simultaneously, the P concentrations required to immobilize Pb resulted in increased mobilization of As, even when Fe-WTR were added at 10:1 Fe/As. However, when P was added first at 5:1 P/Pb, incubated for 1 wk, and then amended with Fe-WTR at 10:1 Fe/As, both Pb and As were significantly immobilized. The proposed process is a practical remediation approach to soils co-contaminated with Pb and As while encouraging re-use of Fe-WTR as a sustainable amendment.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple method was proposed to obtain hydroxyapatite (HA) and hydroxyapatite/partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (HA/AD37) composite materials which where applied to lead retention from aqueous solution by means of the batch method. The characterization of the materials verified that the presence of AD37 created interconnected porosity in the composite HA/AD37 giving it a good swelling properties that conducted to an easy separation of the material from aqueous solutions. Retention experiments carried out by varying the dose of lead and the contact time between adsorbent and adsorbate showed that the maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) obtained for 2072.2 mg/L as initial concentration of Pb2 + was equal to 984.63 mg/g for HA and 924.50 mg/g for HA/AD37. Furthermore, AD37 used alone cannot retain Pb2 + ions. Indeed, the calculated Qmax of AD37 part of the composite was of 806.57 mg/g. The obtained Qmax values was elevated more than the reported values in many literatures. Based on the correlation coefficient, the kinetic study proved that pseudo-second order model agrees well with the obtained experimental data for Pb2+ retention by both HA and HA/AD37. Also, isotherm study explored that adsorption of lead was best fitted by Langmuir model for HA and Temkin model for HA/AD37. At last, the mechanism of retention was probed by characterizing the adsorbents after contact with lead ions by XRD and SEM. The results showed the transformation of calcium-hydroxyapatite to different structures of lead hydroxyapatite confirming the presence of ion exchange mechanism between Ca2+ and Pb2+.

Abstract
In this study, microcapsules assembled with Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium, PC) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) were successfully prepared and applied for Pb(II) immobilization in aqueous solution. The effect of different conditions on Pb(II) removal was investigated, such as pH, temperature, dosages of microcapsules and HAP, and initial concentrations of Pb(II). The removal efficiency of Pb(II) was in order of HAP+PC > HAP > PC > CK (control check) at the Pb(II) initial concentration of 100 mg L-1, which were 87.7%, 82.82%, 63.67% and 2.06%, respectively. Under HAP+PC treatment, P. chrysosporium secreted plentiful organic acids like formic, oxalic and citric acids, when the addition dose of HAP increased from 5 g L-1 to 15 g L-1, the production of formic acid increased remarkably from 32.37 g L-1 to 66.02 g L-1. After reaction, P. chrysosporium kept a good biological activity evidenced by the live/dead stain test. The characterization results indicated that the insoluble apatite could transform to soluble phosphate due to the secreted organic acids, then reacted with Pb(II) to form pyromorphite [Pb10(PO4)6Cl2] and lead phosphate hydroxide [Pb10(PO4)6(OH)2]. The overall results clearly demonstrated that combining P. chrysosporium with HAP could be used as a promising technology to accelerate lead immobilization.

In this work, the combination of phosphate solubilizing fungi (PSF) Penicillium oxalicum and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) was constructed and applied to improve Pb immobilization stabilities in medium and soils. P. oxalicum+ TCP could significantly improve Pb2+ removal to above 99% under different TCP/Pb2+ and pH values. TCP and P. oxalicum could remarkably immobilize Pb by ion exchange, and PbC2O4 precipitation or surface adsorption, respectively. While the enhanced Pb immobilization in P. oxalicum+ TCP was explained by stronger Pb2+ interaction with tryptophan protein-like substances in extracellular polymeric substance, and the formation of the most stable Pb-phosphate compound hydroxypyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3OH). Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure test showed that only 0.91% of Pb2+ was leachable in P. oxalicum+ TCP treatment, significantly lower than that in P. oxalicum (2.90%) and TCP (7.52%) treatments. In addition, the lowest soil exchangeable Pb fraction (37.1%) and the highest available soil P (88.0 mg/kg) were both found in P. oxalicum+ TCP treatment. By synergistically forming stable Pb-containing products, thus the combination of PSF and P minerals could significantly improve Pb2+ immobilization and stability in soils.

Comparing the effects of humic acid and oxalic acid on Pb(II) immobilization by a green synthesized nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 285:131411. [PMID: 34246936 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most significant parameters to affect the remediation efficiency of Pb(II) by apatites. Numerous studies chose humic substances as a surrogate of DOM to investigate its influence on Pb(II) immobilization. However, the effect of low-molecular-weight organic acids such as oxalic acid (OA), which is ubiquitous in the environment and a primary component of DOM, in immobilizing Pb(II) was still not fully understood. Herein, humic acid (HA) and OA were examined to distinguish their influence on Pb(II) immobilization by a green synthesized nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nHAP). Various parameters were considered to evaluate the removal performance of nHAP towards Pb(II) as affected by HA/OA. Results indicated that Pb(II) immobilization was significantly promoted in the coexistence of OA owing to the precipitation of hydroxypyromorphite (HPY) as well as PbC2O4, but was independent on the addition sequence and slightly hindered by HA, disclosing that Pb(II) preferred to bind directly with nHAP instead of via HA. Characterization of the Pb(II) loaded solids by multiple technologies revealed that HPY was the predominant precipitate both in the absence and presence of HA, while the formation of PbC2O4 was preferred over that of HPY in the existence of OA. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that PbC2O4 was the prevalent solid phase with the ratio of 62.97% after Pb(II) immobilization by nHAP in the presence of OA. These findings implied that the transformation efficiency of Pb(II) to HPY by apatites can be overestimated in the presence of OA due to the precipitation of PbC2O4.

Abstract
Highly efficient removal of bilirubin from whole blood directly by hemoperfusion for liver failure therapy remains a challenge in the clinical field due to the low adsorption capacity, poor mechanical strength and low biocompatibility of adsorbents. In this work, a new class of nanocomposite adsorbents was constructed through an inorganic-organic co-crosslinked nanocomposite network between vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES)-functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (V-Hap) and non-ionic styrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) resins (PS-DVB/V-Hap) using suspension polymerization. Notably, our adsorbent demonstrated substantially improved mechanical performance compared to the pure polymer, with the hardness and modulus increasing by nearly 3 and 2.5 times, respectively. Moreover, due to the development of a mesoporous structure, the prepared PS-DVB/V-Hap3 exhibited an ideal adsorption capacity of 40.27 mg g-1. More importantly, the obtained adsorbent beads showed outstanding blood compatibility and biocompatibility. Furthermore, in vivo extracorporeal hemoperfusion verified the efficacy and biosafety of the adsorbent for directly removing bilirubin from whole blood in pig models, and this material could potentially prevent liver damage and improve clinical outcomes. Taken together, the results suggest that PS-DVB/V-Hap3 beads can be used in commercial adsorption columns to threat hyperbilirubinemia patients through hemoperfusion, thus replacing the existing techniques where plasma separation is initially required.

Abstract
Biogenic nano-hydroxyapatite (bio-nHAP) has recently gained great interest in many domains, especially in the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil, due to its high reactivity, low cost, and eco-friendly nature. The co-transport and reaction of bio-nHAP with Pb(II) in saturated porous media, however, are not well understood. This work investigated the effects of ionic strength (IS), ionic composition (IC), dissolved organic matter (DOM), and flow velocity on transport-reaction dynamics of Pb(II) and bio-nHAP by combining column breakthrough experiments and model simulations. Results showed that the mobility of Pb(II) was significantly enhanced with increasing IS/IC but less affected by flow velocity during the transport-reaction process of bio-nHAP and Pb(II) in the saturated sand column; while the transport of bio-nHAP was restricted by increasing IS/IC but facilitated by increasing velocity. IC, IS, and velocity only slightly affected the reaction kinetics between Pb(II) and bio-nHAP, likely due to the fast reaction rate between Pb(II) and bio-nHAP and precipitation of pyromorphite. The transport dynamics of bio-nHAP and Pb(II) were significantly changed by DOM, and this effect depended strongly on the type of DOM with different molecular weights. Breakthrough curves of Pb(II) and bio-nHAP exhibited apparent "anomalous", sub-diffusive transport behaviors, which could be well quantified by a novel tempered fractional derivative bimolecular reaction equation (T-FBRE). Our findings highlighted the accurate simulation of the co-transport and reaction of bio-nHAP with Pb(II) using T-FBRE and had a great benefit for risk assessment and remediation strategy development for Pb(II) contaminated soil.

Abstract
Few studies have been carried out to connect nutrient recovery as struvite from wastewater and sustainable utilization of the recovered struvite for copper and zinc immobilization in contaminated soil. This study revealed the effect of struvite on Cu and Zn immobilization in contaminated bio-retention soil in the presence of commonly exuded plant organic acids. The research hypothesis was that the presence of both struvite and organic acids may influence the immobilization of Cu and Zn in soil. The outcome of this research confirmed that more than 99% of Cu and Zn was immobilized in bio-retention filter media by struvite application. Water-soluble Cu and Zn concentrations of struvite treated soil were less than 1.83 and 0.86 mg/kg respectively, and these concentrations were significantly lower compared to the total Cu and Zn content of 747.05 mg/kg in the contaminated soil. Application of struvite to Cu- and Zn-contaminated soil resulted in formation of compounds similar to zinc phosphate tetrahydrate (Zn3(PO4)2•4H2O) and amorphous Cu and Zn phases. Struvite was effective in heavy metal remediation in acidic soil regardless of the presence of Ca impurities in struvite and the presence of plant organic acids in soil. Overall, this study revealed that struvite recovered from wastewater treatment plants has potential for use as an amendment for heavy metal remediation in contaminated bio-retention soil.

Abstract
Currently, lead (Pb) has become a severe environmental pollutant and fungi hold a promising potential for the remediation of Pb-containing wastewater. The present study showed that Penicillium polonicum was able to tolerate 4 mmol/L Pb(II), and remove 90.3% of them in 12 days through three mechanisms: extracellular immobilization, cell wall adsorption, and intracellular bioaccumulation. In this paper. the three mechanisms were studied by Raman, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that Pb(II) was immobilized as lead oxalate outside the fungal cell, bound with phosphate, nitro, halide, hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups on the cell wall, precipitated as pyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl] on the cell wall, and reduced to Pb(0) inside the cell. These combined results provide a basis for additionally understanding the mechanisms of Pb(II) removal by P. polonicum and developing remediation strategies using this fungus for lead-polluted water.

Abstract
The immobilization effectiveness between Pb and phosphorus in soil varies with soil types. To clarify the effect of phosphate on the availability of Pb in agricultural soil, a culture experiment with three types of paddy soil was performed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) added. EDTA, DGT and in-situ solution extraction methods were used to represent different available Pb content. Results showed that the concentration of EDTA-Pb in HN soil was slightly elevated after exogenous KDP added. The supplement of 300 mg/kg KDP significantly increased the content of soluble Pb in both acid silty clay loam soil and neutral silty loam soil (increased by 104.65% and 65.12%, respectively). However, there was no significant influence of KDP on the concentration of DGT extracted Pb. XANES results showed that Pb(OH)2, PbHPO4, humic acid-Pb and GSH-Pb were the major speciation of Pb in soil colloids. The proportion of Pb(OH)2 and humic acid-bounded Pb in soil colloids were elevated after exogenous KDP added. Our results indicated that there was a mobilization effect of KDP on Pb by increasing the amount of colloidal Pb in soil solution, especially in acid silty clay loam paddy soil. Such colloid-facilitated transport might promote the uptake of Pb in rice and pose a potential threat to human health.

Abstract
Lead can be immobilized in contaminated soils by phosphate rock (PR) amendment, but its efficiency is generally limited by low solubility of PR. Our study aimed to elucidate whether phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can promote Pb immobilization through PR solubilization. Results showed that P. ananatis HCR2 and B. thuringiensis GL-1 could effectively solubilize PR by producing citric, glucose, and α-Ketoglutaric acids. In broth assay, phosphate solubilized from PR by PSB rapidly reacted with Pb2+ and formed insoluble lead compounds, as confirmed by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Pot experiment using lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) verified the effectiveness of soil remediation using PR amendment and PSB inoculation, as plant shoot biomass and net photosynthetic rate as well as soil bioavailable phosphate concentration have significantly increased, while the phytoavailability of Pb, Cd, and Zn greatly reduced. This study suggested that PR amendment combined with PSB inoculation could be applied for remediation of agricultural fields contaminated with multiple heavy metals.

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate key parameters and mechanisms affecting Cr3+ removal from tanning wastewater using phosphate mine waste (PW) as adsorbent in batch mode. The initial Cr3+ concentration was 3920 mg.L-1. The maximum removal capacity of Cr3+ was found to be 97.23 mg.g-1 using 40 g.L-1 of PW at 50 °C and at 200 rpm of stirring speed. Thermodynamic studies indicated that Cr3+ sorption is endothermic reaction of a physico-chemical adsorption process. Kinetic data were satisfactorily described by a pseudo-second order model. Cr3+ removal is probably involving several mechanisms: PW surface dissolution, precipitation, co-precipitation, ion exchange and adsorption. The chromium sorption seems modifying the crystalline structure of the adsorbent. Adsorption isotherm was described by Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson models. But statistically, Freundlich fit better the experimental data. Five error functions were used to check this result. Treatment of chromium effluent using PW as adsorbent can also eliminate more than 60% of organic matter and then can be considered as an effective biomaterial for tanning wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) stabilization in polluted soils treated by a Pb immobilization technique may be dependent on the speciation of Pb present in specific particle-size fractions of the soil. However, the scale-dependency of Pb speciation in contaminated soils is still not clearly understood. In this study, the natures and amounts of Pb chemical forms were determined in five Pb-polluted soil samples from Klity Village, Thailand, and their particle-size fractions. This was achieved using multiple analytical tools, including bulk extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy at the Pb LIII edge. Results suggested that cerussite, Pb sorbed to goethite, and Pb-humate were present in specific amounts in all bulk samples and their particle-size fractions. The highest amounts of Pb-humate were found in the smallest particles of the soil samples. This Pb form was present in the fine particles of a soil sample, but remained undetected when analyzing the bulk sample. Since Pb-SOM association may impede the formation of pyromorphite in soils, the results implied that the extent of Pb immobilization in a polluted soil treated by P may be less than predicted if Pb speciation is only characterized at the macroscopic scale from the bulk soil sample prior remediation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 627:553-560. [PMID: 29426178 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.01.267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2017] [Revised: 01/25/2018] [Accepted: 01/26/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil is a global environmental pollution issue. Nanohydroxyapatite (NHAP) has been used in soil remediation to immobilize cadmium in contaminated soils. However, the effect of acid rain on the export of cadmium from topsoil and its behavior in deep soil and leachate is unclear. In this study, column experiments and development of parsimonious model were performed to estimate Cd leaching behavior from topsoil and environmental risk of groundwater after 0.5% NHAP remediation. Four leaching events were performed and total Cd, different fractions of Cd determined by sequential extraction procedure and pH were determined for each leaching. The results show that with the export of Cd in topsoil, the total Cd concentration in soil at different depths had the following vertical distributions: 0-5 cm > 5-10 cm > 10-15 cm > 15-20 cm. NHAP treatment increased the soil pH and decreased Cd leaching loss by 56.45% compared to the control, and the results fit the parabolic diffusion model. With sequential extraction it was observed that NHAP application increased the residual fraction of cadmium in soil. After leaching, there was a positive correlation between soil pH and Cd concentration with regards to the exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable and residual Cd fractions. The parabolic diffusion model showed that Cd-contaminated soil with NHAP remediation is harmless to humans after sufficient remediation duration, whereas the resultant concentrations from the CK treatment could be toxic. The results indicate that nanohydroxyapatite could significantly reduce the bioavailability of cadmium and the environmental risk. However, the release of Ca and P from the dissolution of NHAP should be carefully studied as this will impact the mobilization of Cd or colloid Cd, and high leaching of P may result in P-induced eutrophication risk.

Abstract
Phosphate compounds and related materials are effective amendments for immobilization of heavy metals in contaminated soils. A greenhouse pot experiment with ryegrass (Lolium perenne) as the test plant was conducted to explore the impact of nanoparticle hydroxyapatite (HAP) on the immobilization and bioavailability of Cu and Zn in a heavy metal-polluted soil. The addition of nanoparticle HAP significantly decreased the uptake of Cu and Zn by ryegrass. As a result, the biomass of ryegrass increased as the rate of nanoparticle HAP increased. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) and physiologically based extraction test (PBET) results of the treatments showed that the leachable and bioaccessible concentrations of Cu and Zn were significantly reduced after the soil stabilized with nanoparticle HAP. The XRD pattern of nanoparticle HAP was not changed by the presence of Cu and Zn, which suggests that Cu and Zn were immobilized by the formation of solid amorphous phosphate. Nanoparticle HAP was an effective material to immobilize heavy metals in contaminated soils.

Abstract
This study aims to develop an amendment for simultaneous immobilization of Zn and Cr(VI) in an abandoned electroplating contaminated soil. Nature phosphate rock was first activated with oxalic acid (O-PR) and then combined with FeSO4 or zero-valent iron (ZVI) for immobilization of Zn and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Finally, the optimized approach showing the highest immobilization ability in solution was applied in an electroplating contaminated soil. The O-PR combined with FeSO4 was more effective in simultaneously removing Zn and Cr(VI) than the O-PR integrated with ZVI within the tested solution pH range of 5.5-8.5. Both O-PR with FeSO4 and with ZVI removed over 95% of Zn from the solution; however, only 42-46% of Cr(VI) was immobilized by O-PR with ZVI, while O-PR with FeSO4 almost precipitated all Cr(VI). Moreover, there were 75-95% Zn and 95-100% Cr(VI) remaining in the exhausted O-PR with FeSO4 solid after toxicity characteristic leaching test (TCLP) while the exhausted O-PR with ZVI solid only retained 44-83% Zn and 32-72% Cr(VI). Zinc was immobilized mainly via formation of insoluble Fe-Zn phosphate co-precipitates, while iron-induced reduction of Cr(VI) into stable Cr(OH)3 or CrxFe(1-x)(OH)3 was responsible for Cr(VI) immobilization. Application of the O-PR integrated with FeSO4 in the electroplating contaminated soil rapidly reduced the TCLP extractable Zn and Cr(VI) to below the standard limits, with decrease by 50% and 94%, respectively. This study revealed that combination of oxalic acid activated phosphate rock with FeSO4 could be an effective amendment for remediation of Zn and Cr(VI) contaminated soil.

Abstract
Abatement of lead (Pb) contamination in soil via chemical immobilization can reduce potential risks but is influenced by soil organic matter. The aim of this study was to observe and understand the influence of organic matter on Pb immobilization by phosphate. For this purpose, humic acid (HA) was introduced into a counterdiffusion system to mimic ionic reactions of the mineralization processes between the pollutant (Pb) and amendment agent (phosphate) in soil system, and were characterized jointly by in situ optical microscopy and ex situ XRD, SEM, TEM, and LSCM. The results indicate that lead immobilization in the counterdiffusion system involves a time-dependent crystallization process and that supersaturation occurs at nearly central region of the reaction zone. Entrapped HA had influence on crystal growth and size, causing more fragmented crystal morphology with increasing HA content, which can be explained by HA wrapping of the nucleation products and subsequent inhibition of reactions and crystal growth, as indicated by TEM and LSCM images. Mineral conversion from secondary lead orthophosphates to pyromorphite implies the promotion of more stable minerals. This approach provides evidence for a more intuitive understanding of the effects of HA on the immobilization of lead by phosphates.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to test if microorganisms isolated from heavily polluted environments can enhance dissolution of Pb-apatite (pyromorphite) resulting in remobilization of lead. Three bacterial strains belonging to the genus Pseudomonas isolated from underground mines in SW Poland were used in batch experiments of pyromorphite solubilization carried out in phosphate reach and phosphate poor media. Bacteria growth and evolution of Pb and phosphate concentrations as well as pH were determined. Additionally the concentration of bacterial siderophores in leaching solution was assayed. All bacterial strains were able to grow in both media in the presence of pyromorphite. The number of bacterial cells was from one to two orders of magnitude higher in the phosphate rich media. In the phosphate poor media the only source of P was the dissolving lead apatite. Bacteria enhanced the solubility of pyromorphite resulting in elevated Pb concentrations, up to 853 μg L-1 in phosphate-rich medium and 6112 μg L-1 in phosphate-poor medium, compared to less than 100 μg L-1 in an abiotic control sample. Production of siderophores was characteristic for each culture and was much lower (10-1000 fold) in the phosphate-poor medium. This study demonstrates for the first time that indigenous bacteria can directly and indirectly promote the mobilization of lead from pyromorphite. This phenomenon should be considered in long term risk assessment of Pb contaminated soils after reclamation processes because bacteria can play a significant role in the efficiency of clean-up efforts and overall geochemical cycling of Pb.

Abstract
A batch experiment was conducted to examine the combined effects of three common low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on the mobilization of arsenic and lead in different types of multi-contaminated soils. The capacity of individual LMWOAs (at a same molar concentration) to mobilize soil-borne As and Pb varied significantly. The combination of the organic acids did not make a marked "additive" effect on the mobilization of the investigated three elements. An "antagonistic" effect on element mobilization was clear in the treatments involving oxalic acid for some soils. The acid strength of a LMWOA did not play an important role in controlling the mobilization of elements. While the mobilization of As and Pb was closely associated with the dissolution of soil-borne Fe, soil properties such as original soil pH, organic matter contents and the total amount of the element relative to the total Fe markedly complicated the mobility of that element. Aging led to continual consumption of proton introduced from addition of LMWOAs and consequently caused dramatic changes in solution-borne Fe, which in turn resulted in change in As and Pb in the soil solution though different elements behaved differently.

Abstract
The alkaline residue generated from the production of soda ash using the ammonia-soda method has been successfully used in removing phosphorus (P) from aqueous solution. But the accumulation of P-containing solid after P removal is an undesirable menace to the environment. To achieve the goal of recycling, this study explored the feasibility of reusing the P loaded alkaline residue as an amendment for immobilization of lead (Pb) in a shooting range soil. The main crystalline phase and micromorphology of amendments were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-electron dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) methods. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), sequential extraction procedure, and physiologically based extraction test (PBET) were employed to evaluate the effectiveness of Pb immobilization in soil after 45 d incubation. Treatment with P loaded alkaline residue was significantly effective in reducing the TCLP and PBET extractable Pb concentrations in contrast to the untreated soil. Moreover, a positive change in the distribution of Pb fractions was observed in the treated soil, i.e., more than 60% of soil-Pb was transformed to the residual fraction compared to the original soil. On the other hand, P loaded amendments also resulted in a drastic reduction in phytoavailable Pb to the winter wheat and a mild release of P as a nutrient in treated soil, which also confirmed the improvement of soil quality.

Biochar amendment immobilizes lead in rice paddy soils and reduces its phytoavailability. Sci Rep 2016; 6:31616.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine effects of rice straw biochar on Pb sequestration in a soil-rice system. Pot experiments were conducted with rice plants in Pb-contaminated paddy soils that had been amended with 0, 2.5, and 5% (w/w) biochar. Compared to the control treatment, amendment with 5% biochar resulted in 54 and 94% decreases in the acid soluble and CaCl2-extractable Pb, respectively, in soils containing rice plants at the maturity stage. The amount of Fe-plaque on root surfaces and the Pb concentrations of the Fe-plaque were also reduced in biochar amended soils. Furthermore, lead species in rice roots were determined using Pb L3-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and although Pb-ferrihydrite complexes dominated Pb inventories, increasing amounts of organic complexes like Pb-pectins and Pb-cysteine were found in roots from the 5% biochar treatments. Such organic complexes might impede Pb translocation from root to shoot and subsequently reduce Pb accumulation in rice with biochar amendment.

Stability of Chloropyromorphite in Ryegrass Rhizosphere as Affected by Root-Secreted Low Molecular Weight Organic Acids. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0160628.

Abstract
Understanding the stability of chloropyromorphite (CPY) is of considerable benefit for improving risk assessment and remediation strategies in contaminated water and soil. The stability of CPY in the rhizosphere of phosphorus-deficient ryegrass was evaluated to elucidate the role of root-secreted low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on the dissolution of CPY. Results showed that CPY treatments significantly reduced the ryegrass biomass and rhizosphere pH. The presence of calcium nitrate extractable lead (Pb) and phosphorus (P) suggested that CPY in the rhizosphere could be bioavailable, because P and Pb uptake by ryegrass potentially provided a significant concentration gradient that would promote CPY dissolution. Pb accumulation and translocation in ryegrass was found to be significantly higher in P-sufficient conditions than in P-deficient conditions. CPY treatments significantly enhanced root exudation of LMWOAs irrigated with P-nutrient solution or P-free nutrient solution. Oxalic acid was the dominant species in root-secreted LMWOAs of ryegrass under P-free nutrient solution treatments, suggesting that root-secreted oxalic acid may be the driving force of root-induced dissolution of CPY. Hence, our work, provides clarifying hints on the role of LMWOAs in controlling the stability of CPY in the rhizosphere.

Adsorptive Removal and Adsorption Kinetics of Fluoroquinolone by Nano-Hydroxyapatite. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0145025. [PMID: 26698573 PMCID: PMC4689473 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0145025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2014] [Accepted: 11/29/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Various kinds of antibiotics, especially fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) have been widely used for the therapy of infectious diseases in human and livestock. For their poorly absorbed by living organisms, large-scale misuse or abuse of FQs will foster drug resistance among pathogenic bacteria, as well as a variety of environmental problems when they were released in the environment. In this work, the adsorption properties of two FQs, namely norfloxacin (NOR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), by nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAP) were studied by batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption curves of FQs by n-HAP were simulated by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The results shown that NOR and CIP can be adsorbed effectively by the adsorbent of n-HAP, and the adsorption capacity of FQs increase with increasing dosage of n-HAP. The optimum dosage of n-HAP for FQs removal was 20 g·L-1, in which the removal efficiencies is 51.6% and 47.3%, and an adsorption equilibrium time is 20 min. The maximum removal efficiency occurred when pH is 6 for both FQs. The adsorption isotherm of FQs fits well for both Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The adsorption of both FQs by n-HAP follows second-order kinetics.

Abstract
Understanding the effects of oxalic acid (OA) on the immobilization of Pb(II) in contaminated soils by phosphate materials, has considerable benefits for risk assessment and remediation strategies for the soil. A series of phosphate amendments with/without oxalic acid were applied to two anthropogenic contaminated soils. We investigated the immobilization of Pb(II) by KH2PO4, phosphate rock (PR), activated phosphate rock (APR) and synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) at different phosphate:Pb (P:Pb) molar ratios (0, 0.6, 2.0 and 4.0) in the presence/absence of 50 mmol oxalic acid/kg soil, respectively. The effects of treatments were evaluated using single extraction with deionized water or CaCl2, Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) methods. Our results showed that the concentration of water extractable, exchangeable and TCLP-Pb all decreased with incubation time. The concentration of water-extractable Pb after 120 days was reduced by 100% when soils were amended with APR, HAP and HAP+OA, and the TCLP-Pb was <5 mg/L for the red soil at P:Pb molar ratio 4.0. Water-soluble Pb could not be detected and the TCLP-Pb was <5 mg/L at all treatments applied to the yellow-brown soil. BCR results indicated that APR was most effective, although a slight enhancement of water-soluble phosphate was detected at the P:Pb molar ratio 4.0 at the beginning of incubation. Oxalic acid activated phosphates, and so mixing insoluble phosphates with oxalic acid may be a useful strategy to improve their effectiveness in reducing Pb bioavailability.

Abstract
The Pb removal efficiencies from contaminated soils by low molecular weight organic acid (LMWOA) and nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) were investigated through batch soil washing experiments. Results showed that significant promotion on Pb-removal with the mixed solutions of LMWOA and nZVI (p < 0.05). The Pb removal efficiencies reached 64% and 83% for mine and farmland soil by addition of 0.2 M citric acid and 2.0 g L−1 nZVI, respectively. They decreased with increasing pH from 3 to 9. The mixed solutions of LMWOA and nZVI induced Pb(II) releases processes including a rapid desorption within 4 h and a slow desorption in the following hours. The second-order model was the most appropriate for describing the kinetic processes of Pb(II) desorption. The main fractions of Pb removal were exchangeable and reducible. Compared with LMWOA, the loss rates of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium decreased after washing with the mixed solutions. Our study suggests that combining of LMWOA and nZVI would be a promising alternative approach for remediation Pb-contaminated soils.
