[PMID: 39122022 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Considering the widespread and indispensable nature of nuclear energy for future power generation, there is a concurrent increase in the discharge of radioactive Cs into water streams. Recent studies have demonstrated that adsorption is crucial in removing Cs from wastewater for environmental remediation. However, the existing literature lacks comprehensive studies on various adsorption methods, the capacities or efficiencies of adsorbents, influencing factors, isotherm and kinetic models of the Cs adsorption process. A bibliometric and comprehensive analysis was conducted using 1179 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection spanning from 2014 to 2023. It reviews and summarizes current publication trends, active countries, adsorption methods, adsorption capacities or efficiencies of adsorbents, tested water sources, influencing factors, isotherm, and kinetic models of Cs adsorption. The selection of suitable adsorbents and operating parameters is identified as a crucial factor. Over the past decade, due to their notable capacity for Cs adsorption, considerable research has focused on novel adsorbents, such as Prussian blue, graphene oxide, hydrogel, and nanoadsorbents (NA). However, there remains a need for further development of application-oriented laboratory-scale experiments. Future research directions should encompass exploring adsorption mechanisms, developing new adsorbents or their combinations, practical applications of lab-scale studies, and recycling radioactive Cs from wastewater. Drawing upon this literature review, we present the most recent research patterns concerning adsorbents to remove Cs, outline potential avenues for future research, and delineate the obstacles hindering effective adsorption. This comprehensive bibliometric review provides valuable insights into prevalent research focal points and emerging trends, serving as a helpful resource for researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the dynamics of adsorbents for Cs removal from water.

Abstract
The rapid development of nuclear energy in China has led to increased attention to the treatment of radioactive wastewaters. Herein, a novel magnetic adsorbent, magnetic Prussian blue‑molybdenum disulfide (PB/Fe3O4/MoS2) nanocomposite, was prepared by a simple in-situ fixation of ferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and Prussian Blue (PB) shell layers on the surface of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets carrier. The prepared PB/Fe3O4/MoS2 nanocomposites adsorbent displayed excellent fast magnetic separation and adsorption capacity of Cs+ (Qm = 80.51 mg/g) from water. The adsorption behavior of Cs+ by PB/Fe3O4/MoS2 conformed to Langmuir isothermal and second-order kinetic model, which belonged to chemical adsorption and endothermic reaction. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of PB/Fe3O4/MoS2 to Cs+ has reached 90 % in less than 110 min. Moreover, the adsorption properties of PB/Fe3O4/MoS2 remained good in the pH range of 2-7. Based on this, PB/Fe3O4/MoS2 complex was a fast and high selectivity adsorption material for Cs+, which was expected to be used in the practical treatment of cesium-containing radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
Detection of toxic metals is of vital importance to safeguard both public health and the ecosystem. Herein, we investigate the newly designed and synthesised isoxazole-based azo dye, (E)-cyclopentyl(5-((5-(4-fluorophenyl) isoxazole-3-yl) diazenyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl) methanone (FPAZ), as a dual chromogenic and fluorogenic sensor. FPAZ demonstrates high selectivity, reusability and ultra-sensitivity towards Cs+ ions manifested through naked eye detection in aqueous medium by employing simple and economic optical spectroscopy techniques. The color change from colourless to dark yellow and enhancement of fluorescence intensity reveal about FPAZ-Cs+ complexation by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy respectively. The complexation is also supported by DFT calculations. The LOD is estimated to be 0.476 µM, which by far, is the lowest LOD obtained for Cs+ detection. Further, FPAZ is fabricated with various flexible materials (paper, cotton, non-woven fabric) which provide information about on-site Cs+ ion contamination by means of change in relative RGB values using a handy smart-phone camera. Besides this, the logic gate as IMPLICATION and INHIBIT is designed employing Cs+ and Cl- ions as inputs and absorbance maxima as output. Overall, the developed chemosensor is simple, quick, and more promising than previously reported systems, as it does not need any chemical modification, expensive instruments, or expertise.

Abstract
Using a novel, irregular honeycombed N-doped porous carbon (NPC) as a support and defect inducer, defect-rich Zn-PBA was formed in situ and evenly anchored on the surface of NPC to obtain a defect-rich Zn-PBA/NPC composite. This composite demonstrated an ultrafast Cs+ adsorption rate that reached equilibrium within 60 s as well as excellent adsorption capacity, stability and reusability. The adsorption mechanism indicated that Cs+ was quickly adsorbed via the defect sites close to the Zn-PBA crystal face accompanied by K(OH2)+ elimination.

Abstract
Separating radioactive cesium from nuclear waste and contaminated environments is critical to mitigate radiological hazards. In response to this need, remote-controllable and Cs-selective micromotor adsorbents have been considered as a promising technology for rapid in-situ cleanup while minimizing secondary waste and radiation exposure to workers. In this study, we demonstrate the active and rapid removal of a radioactive contaminant from water by leveraging the magnetic manipulation capabilities of a helical and magnetic Ni micromotor coated with Cs-selective nickel ferrocyanide (NiFC). The use of polyvinyl alcohol fibers as a template enables the straightforward preparation of the helical wire structure, allowing for precise control over the diameter and pitch of the helix through simple twisting with Ni wires. By harnessing Ni2+ ions eluted from the Ni micromotor in an acid solution, we successfully fabricate NiFC-coated Ni (NiFC/Ni) micromotors that exhibit a selective removal efficiency greater than 98% for 137Cs, even in the presence of high concentrations of competing Na+ ions. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, the NiFC/Ni micromotor demonstrates rapid motion, achieving a pulling motion (100 body lengths per second) through a magnetic gradient and a tumbling motion (46 body lengths per second) induced by a rotating magnetic field. The tumbling motion of the NiFC/Ni micromotor substantially improves the Cs adsorption rate, resulting in a rate that surpasses that achieved under nonmoving conditions by a factor of 21. This improved adsorption rate highlights the considerable potential of magnetically manipulated micromotor self-propulsion for efficient water-pollution treatment.

Abstract
A method of chemically bonding copper ferrocynide (CuFC) to the surface of a PVDF hollow-fibre membrane (PVDF-CuFC) was designed and the resulting PVDF-CuFC was applied to the effective removal of aqueous cesium (Cs). In order to chemically immobilize CuFC on the surface of the PVDF hollow-fibre membrane, carboxyl groups were introduced onto the membrane surface (PVDF-COOH) to peptide bond with amine groups from CuFC. The introduction of the carboxyl group onto the surface of the PVDF hollow-fibre membrane was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), while the immobilization of CuFC was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersed spectroscopy, FT-IR, and thermogravimetric analysis. The PVDF-CuFC showed higher Cs adsorption kinetics and adsorption capacity than PVDF-COOH. Moreover, as the initial pH increased, the amount of Cs adsorption by PVDF-CuFC also increased. However, the amount of Cs adsorption at pH 10 was slightly less. The applicability of PVDF-CuFC as a filter type adsorbent for the treatment of a Cs-contaminated water source is demonstrated by continuous filtration experiments.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) form crystals with large lattice voids that are suitable for the capture, transport and storage of various interstitial ions. Recently, we introduced the concept of a ladder mechanism to describe how sodium ions inside a PBA crystal structure diffuse by climbing the frames formed by aligned cyanide groups in the host structure. The current work uses semi-empirical tight-binding density functional theory (DFTB) in a multiscale approach to investigate how differences in the size of the monovalent cation affect the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the diffusion process. The results show that the ladder mechanism represents a unified framework, from which both similarities and differences between cation types can be understood. Fundamental Coulombic interactions make all positive cations avoid the open vacant areas in the structure, while cavities surrounded by partially negatively charged cyanide groups form diffusion bottlenecks and traps for larger cations. These results provide a new and quantitative way of understanding the suppression of cesium adsorption that has previously been reported for PBAs characterized by a low vacancy density. In conclusion, this work provides a unified picture of the cation adsorption in PBAs based on the newly formulated ladder mechanism.

Abstract
Bubble-propelled sulfur-encapsulated NaX zeolite (S-NaX) micromotors were developed for the selective removal of cesium from high-salt conditions with accelerated cleanup times. NaX was first modified with sulfur to provide additional Lewis acid-base interactions with Cs+ for enhanced Cs+ selectivity, and then Pt was half-deposited on S-NaX for bubble propulsion via the catalytic decomposition of H2O2. The average velocity of the resulting S-NaX/Pt micromotors in 5 wt% H2O2 is 39.7 ± 17.1 μm/s, which is higher than that of a previously reported Cs adsorbent micromotor (35.4 μm/s). The Cs+ ion-exchange kinetics of the S-NaX micromotor is 1.32 times higher than that of the NaX micromotor in a 5 wt% H2O2 solution where the molar ratio of Na+ to Cs+ is 200, even though the sulfur in the S-NaX micromotor causes an adverse effect on the propulsion speed due to the sulfur poisoning effect. Moreover, the S-NaX micromotor in simulated groundwater also exhibited excellent Cs+ removal performance with distribution coefficient (Kd) values at least 3.2 times higher than those of the nonpropelled S-NaX and NaX micromotor, demonstrating the great potential for the treatment of radioactive Cs+-contaminated water.

Abstract
Sustainable materials are urgently desired for treatment of radioactive cesium (Cs) contaminated water to safe-guard the public health. Apart from the synthetic ligand-based materials, the Mangrove charcoal modified adsorbent was fabricated for assessing of Cs removal from waste sample. The raw charcoal was oxidized using nitrification approach and diverse oxygen containing carboxyl, carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups were introduced. After modification, the adsorbent characteristics were drastically changed as compared to the charcoal during the measurement of FTIR, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and SEM micrographs. The data clarified that charcoal modified adsorbent was exhibited high Cs transport through the inner surface of the adsorbent based on bonding ability. The adsorbent was shown comparatively slow kinetics to Cs ion; however, the adsorption capacity was high as 133.54 mg/g, which was higher than the crown ether based conjugate materials. The adsorption data were followed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherms and the monolayer coverage was possible due to the data presentation. The presence of high amount of Na and K were slightly interfered to the Cs adsorption by the charcoal modified adsorbent, however; the Na and K concentration was 350-600 folds higher than the Cs concentration. Then the proposed adsorbent was selective to Cs for the potential real radioactive Cs contaminated water. The volume reduction was established rather than desorption and reuses advantages. More than 99% volume reduction was measured by burning of Cs adsorbed adsorbent at 500 °C for ensuring the safe storage and disposal of used adsorbent. Therefore, the charcoal modified adsorbent may open the new door to treat the Cs containing wastewater.

Huo J, Yu G, Wang J. Selective adsorption of cesium (I) from water by Prussian blue analogues anchored on 3D reduced graphene oxide aerogel. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 761:143286. [PMID: 33183809 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) anchored on 3D reduced graphene aerogel (denoted as 3D rGO/PBAs) was prepared, characterized and applied for adsorption of Cs(I) from aqueous solution. The results showed that 3D rGO/PBAs had high specific surface and good hydrophilic property, which was beneficial to the exposure of adsorptive sites and the transfer of adsorbates. The composite exhibited excellent adsorption performance towards Cs(I), and the maximum adsorption capacity was up to 204.9 mg/g, higher than most of reported values. The pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999) and the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.997) could fit the adsorption process well, suggesting the nature of homogeneous monolayer chemisorption. High distribution coefficients (kd) (2.8 × 104 to 5.8 × 104 mL/g), revealed that the composite had good selectivity. Ion-exchange, ion trapping and the complexation interaction might be involved in the process of cesium adsorption, in which ion-exchange may be dominant by characterization results.

Abstract
In this study, cost-effective cellulosic biomass based activated wood charcoal was developed from Japanese Sugi tree (Cryptomeria japonica) by concentrated nitric acid modification for adsorption of Cs from contaminated water. The physicochemical properties of specimens were investigated using N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms (BET method), FESEM, FTIR, and XPS spectra analysis. The experimental results revealed that the surface area of the raw wood charcoal was significantly decreased after boiling nitric acid modification. However, several oxygen-containing acidic function groups (-COOH, -CO) were introduced on the surface. The adsorption study confirmed that the equilibrium contact time was 1 h, the optimum adsorption pH was neutral to alkaline and the suitable adsorbent dose was 1:100 (solid: liquid). The maximum Cs was removed when the concentration of Na and K were lower (5.0 mM) with Cs in solution. The Cs adsorption processes well approved by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the maximum adsorption capacity was 35.46 mgg-1. The Cs adsorption mechanism was clearly described and it was assumed that the adsorption was strongly followed by chemisorptions mechanism based on the adsorbent surface properties, kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Most importantly, about 98% of volume reduction was obtained by burning (500 °C) the Cs adsorbed charcoal, which ensured safe storage and disposal of radioactive waste. Therefore, this study can offer a guideline to produce a functional adsorbent for effective Cs removal and safe radioactive waste disposal.

Abstract
In this study amphoteric cryogels were synthesized by the use of free-radical co-polymerization of acrylate-based precursors (methacrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonic acid) with allylamine at different ratios. The physico-chemical characteristics of the cryogels were examined using SEM/EDX, FT-IR, XPS and zeta potential measurements. The cryogels were tested toward Cd2+ removal from aqueous solutions at various pH and initial concentrations. Equilibrium studies revealed a maximum sorption capacity in the range of 132-249 mg/g. Leaching experiments indicated the stability of Cd2+ in the cryogel structure. Based on kinetics, equilibrium and characterization results, possible removal mechanisms are proposed, indicating a combination of ion exchange and complexation of Cd2+ with the cryogels' surface functional groups. The cryogels were compared to commercially available adsorbents (zeolite Y and cation exchange resin) for the removal of Cd2+ from various water matrices (ultrapure water, tap water and river water) and the results showed that, under the experimental conditions used, the cryogels can be more effective adsorbents.

Abstract
A facile and low-cost fabrication route, inspired by the adhesive proteins secreted by mussels, has been developed to prepare a clay-based composite hydrogel (DHG(Cu)) containing hexacyanoferrate (HCF) nanoparticles for the selective removal of Cs+ from contaminated water. Initially, montmorillonite was exfoliated prior to coating with a thin layer of polydopamine (PDOPA) via the self-polymerization of dopamine. Mixing the composite (D-clay) with the HCF precursor, followed by the addition of copper ions, led to the self-assembly of the polymer-coated exfoliated clay nanosheets into a three-dimensional network and in situ growth of KCuHCF nanoparticles embedded within the gel structure. Analytical characterization verified the fabrication route and KCuHCF immobilization by a copper-ligand complexation. Rheology testing revealed the composite hydrogel to be elastic under low strain and exhibited reversible, self-healing behavior following high strain deformation, providing a good retention of KCuHCF nanoparticles in the membrane. The adsorbent DHG(Cu) showed a superior Cs+ adsorption capacity (∼173 mg/g), with the performance maintained over a wide pH range, and an excellent selectivity for Cs+ when dispersed in seawater at low concentrations of 0.2 ppm. On the basis of its excellent mechanico-chemical properties, the fabricated hydrogel was tested as a membrane in column filtration, showing excellent removal of Cs+ from Milli-Q water and seawater, with the performance only limited by the fluid residence time. For comparison, the study also considered other composite hydrogels, which were fabricated as intermediates of DHG(Cu) or fabricated with Fe3+ as the cross-linker and reactant for HCF nanoparticle synthesis.

Effective removal of cesium from wastewater via adsorptive filtration with potassium copper hexacyanoferrate-immobilized and polyethyleneimine-grafted graphene oxide. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 250:126262.

Abstract
As an attractive alternative to radioactive cesium removal, we introduced an adsorptive filtration method using a composite membrane consisting of potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (KCuHCF) and graphene-based support. Polyethyleneimine-grafted reduced graphene oxide (PEI-rGO), used as an immobilizing matrix, was effective not only in distributing KCuHCF inside the composite with the aid of abundant amino-functionality, but also in achieving high water flux by increasing the interlayer spacing of the laminar membrane structure. Due to the rapid and selective cesium adsorption properties of KCuHCF, the fabricated membrane was found to be effective in achieving complete removal of cesium ions under a high flux (over 500 L m-2 h-1), which is difficult in a conventional membrane utilizing the molecular sieving effect. This approach offers strong potential in the field of elimination of radionuclides that require rapid and complete decontamination.

Abstract
Novel molybdenum disulfide-montmorillonite (MoS2@2DMMT) hydrogels for Cu(II) removal and inhibition on bacterial growth were successfully prepared. MoS2 was first in-situ growth onto 2DMMT platelet through hydrothermal method and then cross-linked with organic reagents to form hydrogels. The flower-like structure of synthesized MoS2 could be clearly observed in MoS2@2DMMT by SEM. The synthesized hydrogels possessed a three-dimensional macroporous structure, offering a free access for contaminants to get inside and combine with the active sites. Adsorption tests revealed that efficient Cu(II) removal (65.75 mg/g) could be achieved within a short time (30 min) at pH 5. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model indicated the existence of chemisorption and monolayer absorption for Cu(II) onto MoS2@2DMMT hydrogels. Characterizations of EDS and XPS indicated that Cu(II) reacted with groups of carboxyl, hydroxyl and amidogen. Bacteriostatic tests revealed that almost a complete bacteriostatic was achieved with just small dosage (0.8 mg/mL) of MoS2@2DMMT hydrogels after the Cu(II) removal under the normal illumination. The mechanism was ascribed to the destructive effect of Cu(II) to the cytomembrane and the damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to the DNA. Such hydrogel not only provided insights for treating co-existing contaminates, but also guides for designing novel polymer materials from two-dimensional (2D) nano-materials.

Abstract
Growing interests and efforts have been recently focused on design and assembly of novel hydrogel nanosorbents for removal of drugs from wastewater. Therefore, this work is aimed to immobilize and encapsulate starch hydrogel matrix onto metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and dope with nanomagnetite. The magnetic MOFs-Starch hydrogel (NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel) was synthesized via microwave irradiation process and characterized with high surface area (528.39 m2/g), mesoporous with pore size 2.90 nm and highly crystalline structure. The maximum swelling ratio (1000.0 %) was optimized at pH 10, 180 min and 25 °C. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel for adsorptive removal of Fluvastatin statin drug provided maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity 782.05 mg g-1. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second kinetics models were correlated well with the computed correlation coefficient values 0.9991 and 0.9997, respectively. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch-Hydrogel for removal of FLV statin drug from real water matrices was confirmed in the range 96.15-99.99 %.

Abstract
Hydrogels are composed of 3D hydrophilic networks with an abundance of water; they are analogous to biological soft tissues. Their unique physico-chemical properties endow hydrogels with great potential in many fields, including tissue engineering and flexible sensing. However, inadequate functionality, such as lack of rapid responsiveness, severely limits practical applications in many areas. Therefore, imparting functionality to the hydrogel is a hot research topic. The magnetic field, as an important physical field, provides a new strategy with a variety of advantages. Magnetic-field-induced ordered nano-assembly brought anisotropic properties and novel performance. Furthermore, the magnetic responsiveness of hydrogels with magnetic nanoparticles can lead to the generation of functionality under magnetic fields. Thus, we aim to systematically describe the significant effect of magnetic fields on the functionality of the hydrogel. In this review, magnetic-field-induced assembly of nanomaterials with different dimensions and resulting functional performance are introduced. The functionalities of hydrogels based on magnetic-field-induced macroscopic responses are also summarized. We believe this review will motivate more exploration of the application of magnetic fields to develop functional hydrogel materials.
