Characteristics and aqueous dye removal ability of novel biosorbents derived from acidic and alkaline one-step ball milling of hickory wood. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 309:136610. [PMID: 36181850 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
New classes of biosorbents are needed for various environment remediation applications. Thus, a facile and benign approach to synthesize porous biosorbents was developed using acidic or alkaline one-step ball milling of hickory wood biomass (AcBH and AlBH, respectively) without any external heat treatment, and their properties were compared. AcBH and AlBH were richer in O-containing functional groups, had enhanced porous structure and greater ability to remove crystal violet (CV, 476.4 mg g-1) and Congo red (CR, 221.8 mg g-1) dyes from aqueous solution, respectively, relative to hickory wood ball milled at neutral pH. Freundlich isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic models best fitted CR and CV adsorption onto biosorbents, indicating a mainly surface complexation adsorption mechanism. Further, both sorbents exhibited excellent stability and dye adsorption reusability. These results demonstrate that acidic and alkaline one-step ball milling is a facile and efficient approach for converting wood biomass into environmentally friendly biosorbents.

Abstract
Innovative technologies can transform what are now considered “waste streams” into feedstocks for a range of products. Indeed, the use of biomass as a source of biopolymers and chemicals currently has a consolidated economic dimension, with well-developed and regulated markets, in which the evaluation of the manufacturing processes relies on specific criteria such as purity and yield, and respects defined regulatory parameters for the process safety. In this context, ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents have been proposed as environmentally friendly solvents for applications related to biomass waste valorization. This mini-review draws attention to some recent advancements in the use of a series of new-solvent technologies, with an emphasis on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as key players in the development of new processes for biomass waste valorization. This work aims to highlight the role and importance of DESs in the following three strategic areas: chitin recovery from biomass and isolation of valuable chemicals and biofuels from biomass waste streams.

Abstract
The amount of biomass wastes is rapidly increasing, which leads to numerous disposal problems and governance issues. Thus, the recycling and reuse of biomass wastes into value-added applications have attracted more and more attention. This paper reviews the research on biomass waste utilization and biomass wastes derived functional materials in last five years. The recent research interests mainly focus on the following three aspects: (1) extraction of natural polymers from biomass wastes, (2) reuse of biomass wastes, and (3) preparation of carbon-based materials as novel adsorbents, catalyst carriers, electrode materials, and functional composites. Various biomass wastes have been collected from agricultural and forestry wastes, animal wastes, industrial wastes and municipal solid wastes as raw materials with low cost; however, future studies are required to evaluate the quality and safety of biomass wastes derived products and develop highly feasible and cost-effective methods for the conversion of biomass wastes to enable the industrial scale production.

Abstract
This paper investigated the feasibility of using agricultural wastes and synthetic macromolecules as solid carbon sources and studied the effects of improvement of denitrification by the selected agricultural wastes. The carbon release capacity and denitrification performance of corncob (CC), peanut shell (PS), obsolescent rice (OR) and polycaprolactone (PCL), poly butylene succinate (PBS), polyvinyl alcohol sodium alginate (PVA-SA) were systematically analyzed. The results showed that for each carbon source, the first-order kinetic equation was basically followed during the carbon release process. PVA-SA, CC and PS had higher carbon release capacity with accumulative dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of 16.22-20.63 mg·g-1 and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 100.86-134.10 mg·g-1. Correspondingly, they showed excellent denitrification performance with almost no residual NO3--N, and the denitrification process well followed the Monod equation. PCL, PBS and OR had lower carbon release capacity with accumulative DOC of 2.06-3.14 mg·g-1 and COD of 13.29-24.13 mg·g-1, respectively. Nevertheless, these materials can also improve the denitrification performance, with the residual NO3--N in the range of 6.02-6.36 mg·L-1, and the effluent DOC was in the range of 10-15 mg·L-1. Synthetic polymers are more suitable for nitrogen removal in groundwater treatment, while agricultural wastes are ideal carbon sources for secondary effluent treatment.

Abstract
The preparation and application of adsorptive materials with low cost and high-efficiency recovery of uranium from nuclear waste is necessary for the development of sustainable, clean energy resources and to avoid nuclear pollution. In this work, the capacity of tea waste and tea waste hybrids as inexpensive sorbents for uranium removal from water solutions was investigated. Composites of graphene oxide (GO) and tea waste (TW) exhibited a promising adsorption performance for uranium from aqueous solutions. The composites GOTW and magnetic rGO/Fe3O4/TW show high adsorption capacities (Qm (TW) = 91.72 mg/g, Qm (GOTW) = 111.61 mg/g and Qm (rGO/Fe3O4/TW) = 104.95 mg/g) and removal rates (~99%) for U(VI). The equilibrium sorption of the adsorbents fitted well to the Langmuir model, and the sorption rate fitted well to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that sorption was spontaneous and favourable. The prepared adsorbents were used for the removal of uranium from real water samples as well. The results revealed that GOTW and rGO/Fe3O4/TW can be used to remediate nuclear industrial effluent as a potential adsorbent.

Abstract
With low melting point, extremely low vapor pressure and non-flammability, ionic liquids have been attracting much attention from academic and industrial fields. Great efforts have been made to facilitate their applications in catalytic processes, extraction, desulfurization, gas separation, hydrogenation, electronic manufacturing, etc. To reduce the cost and environmental effects, different technologies have been proposed to recover the ionic liquids from different solutions after their application. This review is mainly focused on the recent advances of the recovery and purification of ionic liquids from solutions. Several methods for recovery of ionic liquids including distillation, extraction, adsorption, membrane separation, aqueous two-phase extraction, crystallization and external force field separation, are introduced and discussed systematically. Some industrial applications of ionic liquid recovery and purification methods are selected for discussion. Additionally, considerations on the combined design of different methods and process optimization have also been touched on to provide potential insights for future development of ionic liquid recovery and purification.

Removal of Ionic Liquids from Oil Sands Processing Solution by Ion-Exchange Resin. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2018.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been reported to be good process aids for enhanced bitumen recovery from oil sands. However, after the extraction, some ionic liquids are left in the residual solids or solutions. Herein, a washing–ion exchange combined method has been designed for the removal of two imidazolium-based ILs, ([Bmim][BF4] and [Emim][BF4]), from residual sands after ILs-enhanced solvent extraction of oil sands. This process was conducted as two steps: water washing of the residual solids to remove ILs into aqueous solution; adsorption and desorption of ILs from the solution by the sulfonic acid cation-exchange resin (Amberlite IR 120Na). Surface characterization showed that the hydrophilic ionic liquids could be completely removed from the solid surfaces by 3 times of water washing. The ionic liquids solution was treated by the ion-exchange resin. Results showed that more than 95% of [Bmim][BF4] and 90% of [Emim][BF4] could be adsorbed by the resins at 20 °C with contact time of 30 min. The effects of some typical coexisted chemicals and minerals, such as salinity, kaolinite (Al4[Si4O10](OH)8), and silica (SiO2), in the solution on the adsorption of ionic liquids have also been investigated. Results showed that both kaolinite and SiO2 exerted a slight effect on the uptake of [Bmim][BF4]. However, it was observed that increasing the ionic strength of the solution by adding salts would deteriorate the adsorption of [Bmim]+ on the resin. The adsorption behaviors of two ILs fit well with the Sips model, suggesting the heterogeneous adsorption of ionic liquids onto resin. The adsorption of ionic liquids onto Amberlite IR 120Na resin was found to be pseudo-second-order adsorption. The regeneration tests showed stable performance of ion-exchange resins over three adsorption–desorption cycles.

Abstract
The toxic effects of eight common ionic liquids (ILs) on wheat seedlings was evaluated with specific emphasis on the influence of concentration range, anion species and cation chain length of ILs. The growth of wheat seeds was significantly inhibited by ILs, especially under higher concentration, presence of the fluoride anion and the longer alkyl chain length of the cation. The modified biochar (PB-K-N) efficiently removed the ILs from aqueous solutions, the order of the adsorption capacities was as follows: [Bmim]OAc [Bmim]C7H5O2 [Bmim]BF4 [Bmim]Br, [Domim]Br [BPy]Br [Omim]Br [Bmim]Br [Emim]Br. Furthermore, the wheat growth of all ILs groups except [Bmim]BF4 group in the presence of PB-K-N was also similar to that of the control groups, which clearly demonstrated that PB-K-N could decrease or alleviate toxicity of ILs toward wheat by adsorption effect. Therefore, the biochar application was effective in improving plant resistance to ILs stress by adsorption, to reduce the phytotoxicity of ILs and provide an alternative approach for the utilization of PB-K-N in ILs contaminated water and soils.

Abstract
Sorption is one of the most efficient and low cost strategies for volatile organic compound (VOC) removal, but VOC sorption by biochar has seen limited research. In this work, gas phase sorption experiments were conducted to determine the sorption potential and mechanisms of VOCs onto biochar. A total of 15 biochars produced from 5 common feedstocks at 300, 450, and 600°C were evaluated as sorbents. Three common VOCs (acetone, cyclohexane, and toluene) were chosen as sorbates. The results showed that all the tested biochars had VOC sorption capacity in the range of 5.58-91.2mgg-1. The sorption capacities were mainly influenced by both the surface area of biochar and its noncarbonized organic matter content. The vapor sorption process was exothermic, and the removal of VOCs by the biochars decreased with increasing feedstock temperature. Both the physical adsorption and partition mechanisms played important roles in controlling the VOC removal by the biochars. Biochar maintained its VOC removal ability after five consecutive sorption-desorption cycles, which indicated good reusability. Findings of this work suggest that biochar is a promising alternative sorbent for gaseous VOC removal.

Starchy food waste, e.g., cooked rice and penne produced 4.0-8.1 wt% HMF and 46.0-64.8 wt% glucose over SnCl4 after microwave heating at 140 °C for 20 min. This indicated that starch hydrolysis was effectively catalyzed but subsequent glucose isomerization was rate-limited during food waste valorization, which could be enhanced by 40-min reaction to achieve 22.7 wt% HMF from cooked rice. Sugary food waste, e.g., kiwifruit and watermelon, yielded up to 13 wt% HMF over Sn catalyst, which mainly resulted from naturally present fructose. Yet, organic acids in fruits may hinder Fe-catalyzed dehydration by competing for the Lewis sites. In contrast, conversion of raw mixed vegetables as cellulosic food waste was limited by marginal hydrolysis at the studied conditions (120-160 °C and 20-40 min). It is interesting to note that tetravalent metals enabled HMF production at a lower temperature and shorter time, while trivalent metals could achieve a higher HMF selectivity at an elevated temperature. Further studies on kinetics, thermodynamics, and reaction pathways of food waste valorization are recommended.

Abstract
Adsorption mechanisms of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium chloride ([OMIM]Cl) on rice straw-derived biochars produced at 400, 500, and 700 °C (referred as RB400, RB500, and RB700, respectively) were evaluated. Adsorption affinity followed the order of RB700 > RB400 > RB500. Electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond controlled adsorption of [OMIM]Cl on RB400, while π-π EDA interaction between [OMIM]Cl and the aromatic rings of biochar dominated adsorption of RB500 and RB700. With increasing solution pH, -COOH and -OH on biochar became deprotonated. Consequently, [OMIM]Cl binding to these sites changed from hydrogen bond to electrostatic attraction. Adsorption capacity of [OMIM]Cl increased with increasing pH during the adsorption process. Solid concentration induced by -OH of [OMIM]Cl was higher than that of -COOH. Thermodynamics study indicated that adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. ∆H 0 values indicated that [OMIM]Cl adsorption on biochars was a physisorption.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) severely threaten human health and the ecological environment because most of them are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. The persistent increase of VOCs together with the stringent regulations make the reduction of VOC emissions more imperative. Up to now, numerous VOC treatment technologies have emerged, such as incineration, condensation, biological degradation, absorption, adsorption, and catalysis oxidation et al. Among them, the adsorption technology has been recognized as an efficient and economical control strategy because it has the potential to recover and reuse both adsorbent and adsorbate. Due to their large specific surface area, rich porous structure, and high adsorption capacity, carbonaceous adsorbents are widely used in gas purification, especially with respect to VOC treatment and recovery. This review discusses recent research developments of VOC adsorption onto a variety of engineered carbonaceous adsorbents, including activated carbon, biochar, activated carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, graphene and its derivatives, carbon-silica composites, ordered mesoporous carbon, etc. The key factors influence the VOC adsorption are analyzed with focuses on the physiochemical characters of adsorbents, properties of adsorbates as well as the adsorption conditions. In addition, the sources, health effect, and abatement methods of VOCs are also described.

Abstract
A novel three-dimensional crumpled graphene oxide/cellulose nanocrystals (GO/CNCs) composite was successfully synthesized and firstly used as adsorbent for the removal of ionic liquid [BMIM][Cl] from aqueous solution. The 3D crumpled structure and abundant oxygen of the functional groups on GO/CNCs composite can provide more chance for the sorption of [BMIM][Cl] compared with CNCs and GO, respectively. Therefore, a series of batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorptive property of 3D GO/CNCs composite towards [BMIM][Cl], such as the GO mass content, the pH value and contact time. The results showed that pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Eovlich model were well fitted with the sorption kinetic. The isotherm adsorption data indicated that it was better described by Langmuir model, with the maximum sorption capacity of 0.455mmol/g. This work provides a facile method for the preparation of 3D structure adsorbent from graphene oxide and cellulose nanocrystals which has high adsorption capacity of [BMIM][Cl] in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials derived from the potential precursors and prepared by a facile, effective, and low-pollution strategy have recently been particularly concerned in different research fields. In this study, the interconnected nitrogen/sulfur-codoped hierarchically porous carbon materials have been successfully obtained via one-step carbonization of the self-assembly of [Phne][HSO4] (a protic ionic liquid originated from dilute sulfuric acid and phenothiazine by a straightforward acid-base neutralization) and the double soft-template of OP-10 and F-127. During carbonization process, OP-10 as macroporous template and F-127 as mesoporous template were removed, while [Phne][HSO4] not only could be used as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur source, but also as a pore forming agent to create micropores. The acquired carbon materials for supercapacitor not only hold a large specific capacitance of 302 F g-1 even at 1.0 A g-1, but also fine rate property with 169 F g-1 at 10 A g-1 and excellent capacitance retention of nearly 100% over 5000 circulations in 6 M KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, carbon materials also present eximious rate performance with 70% in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte.
