[PMID: 37409802 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2234673] [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: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
A novel and environmentally friendly magnetic iron zeolite (MIZ) core-shell were successfully fabricated using municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash-derived zeolite (MWZ) coated with Fe3O4 and innovatively investigated as a heterogeneous persulfate (PS) catalyst. The morphology and structure composition of as-prepared catalysts were characterised, and it was proved that the core-shell structure of MIZ was successfully synthesised by coating Fe3O4 uniformly on the MWZ surface. The tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation experiment indicate that the optimum equimolar amount of iron precursors was 3 mmol (MIZ-3). Compared with other systems, MIZ-3 possessed a superior catalytic performance, and the degradation efficiency of TCH (50 mg·L-1) in the MIZ-3/PS system reached 87.3%. The effects of reaction parameters on the catalytic activity of MIZ-3, including pH, initial concentration of TCH, temperature, the dosage of catalyst, and Na2S2O8, were assessed. The catalyst had high stability according to three recycling experiments and the leaching test of iron ions. Furthermore, the working mechanism of the MIZ-3/PS system to TCH was discussed. The electron spin resonance (ESR) results demonstrated that the reactive radicals generated in the MIZ-3/PS system were sulphate radical (S O 4 - ∙ ) and hydroxyl radical (•OH). This work provided a novel strategy for TCH degradation under PS with a broad perspective on the fabrication of non-toxic and low-cost catalysts in practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is widely present in the environment, and adsorption technology is a potential remediation method. S/N co-doped tea residue biochar (SNBC) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal carbonization method using tea residue as raw material. S was doped by Na2S2O3·5H2O, and N was doped by N in tea residue. The adsorption efficiency of SNBC could reach 94.16% when the concentration of TC was 100 mg L-1. The adsorption effect of SNBC on TC was 9.38 times more than that of unmodified biochar. Tea biochar had good adsorption effect at pH 4-9. The maximum adsorption capacity of 271 mg g-1 was calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption mechanism involved many mechanisms such as pore filling, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. The adsorbent prepared in this study could be used as an effective adsorbent in the treatment of TC wastewater.

Boosting acetaminophen degradation in water by peracetic acid activation: A novel approach using chestnut shell-derived biochar at varied pyrolysis temperatures. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119143. [PMID: 38751000 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119143] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from chestnut shells was synthesized through pyrolysis at varying temperatures from 300 °C to 900 °C. The study unveiled that the pyrolysis temperature is pivotal in defining the physical and chemical attributes of biochar, notably its adsorption capabilities and its role in activating peracetic acid (PAA) for the efficient removal of acetaminophen (APAP) from aquatic environments. Notably, the biochar processed at 900 °C, referred to as CN900, demonstrated an exceptional adsorption efficiency of 55.8 mg g-1, significantly outperforming its counterparts produced at lower temperatures (CN300, CN500, and CN700). This enhanced performance of CN900 is attributed to its increased surface area, improved micro-porosity, and a greater abundance of oxygen-containing functional groups, which are a consequence of the elevated pyrolysis temperature. These oxygen-rich functional groups, such as carbonyls, play a crucial role in facilitating the decomposition of the O-O bond in PAA, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through electron transfer mechanisms. This investigation contributes to the development of sustainable and cost-effective materials for water purification, underscoring the potential of chestnut shell-derived biochar as an efficient adsorbent and catalyst for PAA activation, thereby offering a viable solution for environmental cleanup efforts.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118425. [PMID: 38325789 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118425] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
This study employed hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) in conjunction with ZnCl2 activation and pyrolysis to produce biochar from one traditional Chinese medicine astragali radix (AR) residue. The resultant biochar was evaluated as a sustainable adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) elimination from water. The adsorption performance of TC on two micropore-rich AR biochars, AR@ZnCl2 (1370 m2 g-1) and HAR@ZnCl2 (1896 m2 g-1), was comprehensively evaluated using adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics. By virtue of pore diffusion, π-π interaction, electrostatic attraction, and hydrogen bonding, the prepared AR biochar showed exceptional adsorption properties for TC. Notably, the maximum adsorption capacity (930.3 mg g-1) of TC on HAR@ZnCl2 can be achieved when the adsorbent dosage is 0.5 g L-1 and C0 is 500 mg L-1 at 323 K. The TC adsorption on HAR@ZnCl2 took place spontaneously. Furthermore, the impact of competitive ions behavior is insignificant when coexisting ion concentrations fall within the 10-100 mg L-1 range. Additionally, the produced biochar illustrated good economic benefits, with a payback of 701 $ t-1. More importantly, even after ten cycles, HAR@ZnCl2 still presented great TC removal efficiency (above 77%), suggesting a good application prosperity. In summary, the effectiveness and sustainability of AR biochar, a biowaste-derived product, were demonstrated in its ability to remove antibiotics from water, showing great potential in wastewater treatment application.

Knowledge graph and development hotspots of biochar as an emerging aquatic antibiotic remediator: A scientometric exploration based on VOSviewer and CiteSpace. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 360:121165. [PMID: 38759554 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121165] [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: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
As an emerging material in the field of environmental remediation, biochar produced by carbonisation of organic solid waste has been widely used in the remediation of antibiotic wastewater due to its environmental friendliness and excellent adsorption properties. This study analyses the current literature in the field in a comprehensive and scientific manner using CiteSpace and VOSviewer technologies. Between 2011 and 2023, a total of 1162 papers were published in this domain, spanning three distinct stages: applied methods, mechanism investigation, and enhanced improvement. The results of keyword clustering indicate that the remediation of antibiotics complexed with multiple pollutants by biochar is the main research topic, followed by the remediation of antibiotics by biochar in combination with other technologies. Furthermore, drawing from current research hotspots in antibiotic remediation using biochar, this study identified the pivotal mechanisms involved: (1) The primary mechanisms by which raw biochar remediates antibiotics include π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen-bonding, and pore filling. (2) Steam activation, acid/base, metal salt/metal oxide, and clay mineral modification can improve the physical/chemical properties of biochar, enhancing its adsorptive removal of antibiotics. (3) Biochar activated persulfate and degraded antibiotics via free radical pathways (SO4-•, •OH and O2-•) as well as non-free radical pathways (1O2 and electron transfer). In addition, the challenge and prospect of biochar engineering applications for antibiotic remediation lies in improving the main mechanism of antibiotic remediation by biochar. The prospective utilization of biochar in enhancing the remediation of antibiotic-related pollutants holds tremendous value for the future.

Abstract
In this study, multilayer self-assembled multifunctional bamboo shoot shell biochar microspheres (BSSBM) were prepared, in which bamboo shoot shell biochar was used as the carrier, titanium dioxide as the intermediate medium, and chitosan as the adhesion layer. The adsorption behavior of BSSBM on heavy metals Ag(I) and Pd(II), antibiotics, and dye wastewater was systematically analyzed. BSSBM shows a wide range of adsorption capacity. BSSBM is a promising candidate for the purification of real polluted water, not only for metal ions, but also for Tetracycline (TC) and Methylene Blue (MB). The maximum adsorption amounts of BSSBM on Pd(II), Ag(I), TC and MB were 417.3 mg/g, 222.5 mg/g, 97.2 mg/g and 42.9 mg/g, respectively.The adsorption of BSSBM on Pd(II), MB and TC conformed to the quasi-first kinetic model, and the adsorption on Ag(I) conformed to the quasi-second kinetic model. BSSBM showed remarkable selective adsorption capacity for Ag(I) and Pd(II) in a multi-ion coexistence system. BSSBM not only realized the high value-added utilization of waste, but also had the advantages of low cost, renewable and selective adsorption. BSSBM demonstrated its potential as a new generation of multifunctional adsorbent, contributing to the recovery of rare/precious metals and the treatment of multi-polluted water.

Abstract
Nanobiochar is an advanced nanosized biochar with enhanced properties and wide applicability for a variety of modern-day applications. Nanobiochar can be developed easily from bulk biochar through top-down approaches including ball-milling, centrifugation, sonication, and hydrothermal synthesis. Nanobiochar can also be modified or engineered to obtain "engineered nanobiochar" or biochar nanocomposites with enhanced properties and applications. Nanobiochar provides many fold enhancements in surface area (0.4-97-times), pore size (0.1-5.3-times), total pore volume (0.5-48.5-times), and surface functionalities over bulk biochars. These enhancements have given increased contaminant sorption in both aqueous and soil media. Further, nanobiochar has also shown catalytic properties and applications in sensors, additive/fillers, targeted drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, polymer production, etc. The advantages and disadvantages of nanobiochar over bulk biochar are summarized herein, in detail. The processes and mechanisms involved in nanobiochar synthesis and contaminants sorption over nanobiochar are summarized. Finally, future directions and recommendations are suggested.

Abstract
In recent decades, the tetracycline (TC) concentration in aquatic ecosystems has gradually increased, leading to water pollution problems. Various mineral adsorbents for the removal of tetracyclines have garnered considerable attention. However, efficient adsorbents suitable for use in a wide pH range environment have rarely been reported. Herein, a phytolith-rich adsorbent (PRADS) was prepared by a simple one-step alkali-activated pyrolysis treatment using phytolith as a raw material for effectively removing TC. PRADS, benefiting from its porous structure, which consists of acid- and alkali-resistant, fast-adsorbing macroporous silica and mesoporous carbon, is highly desirable for efficient TC removal from wastewater. The results indicate that PRADS exhibited excellent adsorption performance and stability for TC over a wide pH range of 2.0-12.0 under the coexistence of competing ions, which could be attributed to the fact that PRADS has a porous structure and contains abundant oxygen-containing functional groups and a large number of bonding sites. The adsorption mechanisms of PRADS for TC were mainly attributed to pore filling, hydrogen bonding, π-π electron-donor-acceptor, and electrostatic interactions. This work could offer a novel preparation strategy for the effective adsorption of pollutants by new functionalized phytolith adsorbents.

Abstract
Oily sludge-derived activated carbon was prepared using the potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation method using oily sludge as a raw material, and one-factor experiments determined the best conditions for preparing activated carbon. The activated carbon's morphological structure and surface chemical properties were analyzed by scanning different characterization tools, and the adsorption behavior of tetracycline hydrochloride was investigated. The results showed that the optimum conditions for preparing oily sludge-derived activated carbon were an activation temperature of 400 °C, activation time of 30 min, activator concentration of 1 mol/L, and impregnation ratio of 2 mL/g. After activation, the activated carbon had more pores and a more orderly crystal structure arrangement, the specific surface area was 2.07 times higher than that before activation, and the surface was rich in functional groups such as -HO, -C-O, -C=C, and -C-H, which increased the active sites of activated carbon. Physicochemical effects dominated the adsorption process. It belonged to the spontaneous heat absorption process under the quasi-secondary kinetic and Langmuir isothermal models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of KOH-activated carbon was 205.1 mg·g-1.

Abstract
Simple ball milling technology can simultaneously improve the adsorption performance of adsorbents for heavy metals and organic pollutants and has attracted increasing attention. Iron-modified biochar (Fe@MBC) was prepared by one-step ball milling, and the characterization results proved that FeCl3 was successfully loaded on biochar. The removal rates of Cr(VI) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) by Fe@MBC were increased by 88.27% and 82.64% compared with BC. The average pore size, oxygen-containing functional groups and graphitization degree of Fe@MBC are higher than those of BC, which is more conducive to promoting adsorption. The adsorption isotherms show that the adsorption of Cr(VI) and TC on the Fe@MBC surface conforms to the Langmuir type of single-layer adsorption and the Freundlich model of multilayer adsorption, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cr(VI) and TC are 25.46 and 66.91 mg·g-1, respectively. Kinetic experiments show that the adsorption process is more consistent with the pseudo-second-order model of chemical adsorption. The adsorption process of Cr(VI) and TC on the Fe@MBC surface is a spontaneous endothermic process that becomes more obvious as the temperature increases. The increase in solution pH has a significant impact on the removal rate of Fe@MBC. When the pH value increased from 3 to 11, the adsorption rates decreased by 53.74% and 17.16%, respectively. The presence of PO43-, CO32-, K+, and Cu2+ significantly affects the adsorption of TC by Fe@MBC, and PO43- and CO32- also affect the adsorption of Cr(VI). Mechanistic studies show that ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, pore filling, and hydrogen bonding contribute to the removal of Cr(VI) and TC by Fe@MBC. The removal mechanism of Cr(VI) also involves complexation and redox reactions, and the removal mechanism of TC involves π-π bonds and van der Waals forces. The results show that Fe@MBC is a green and efficient adsorbent.

Abstract
Excessive phosphate and tetracycline (TC) contaminants pose a serious risk to human health and the ecological environment. As such exploring the simultaneous adsorption of phosphate and TC is garnering increasing attention. In this study, an efficient lanthanum ferrate magnetic biochar (FLBC) was synthesised from crab shells using an ultrasound-assisted sol-gel method to study its performance and mechanisms for phosphate and TC adsorption in aqueous solutions in mono/bis systems. According to the Langmuir model, the developed exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 65.62 mg/g for phosphate and 234.1 mg/g for TC (pH:7.0 ± 0.1, and 25 °C). Further, it exhibited high resistance to interference and pH suitability. In practical swine wastewater applications, whereby the concentrations of phosphate and TC are 37 and 19.97 mg/L, respectively, the proposed material demonstrated excellent performance. In addition, electrostatic adsorption, chemical precipitation and ligand exchange were noted to be the main mechanisms for phosphate adsorption by FLBC, whereas hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction were the main adsorption mechanisms for TC adsorption. Therefore, this study successfully prepared a novel and efficient adsorbent for phosphate and TC.

Fe-pillared montmorillonite functionalized chitosan/gelatin foams for efficient removal of organic pollutants by integration of adsorption and Fenton degradation. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 321:121265.

Abstract
A Fe-pillared montmorillonite (Fe-MMT) functionalized bio-based foam (Fe-MMT@CS/G) was developed by using chitosan (CS) and gelatin (G) as the matrix for high-efficiency elimination of organic pollutants through the integration of adsorption and Fenton degradation. The results showed that the mechanical properties of as-obtained foam were strengthened by the addition of certain amounts of Fe-MMT. Interestingly, Fe-MMT@CS/G displayed efficient adsorption ability for charged pollutants under a wide range of pH. The adsorption processes of methyl blue (MB), methylene blue (MEB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) on Fe-MMT@CS/G were well described by the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 2208.24 mg/g for MB, 1167.52 mg/g for MEB, and 806.31 mg/g for TCH. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces probably involved the adsorption process. As expected, this foam could exhibit better removal properties toward both charged and uncharged organic pollutants through the addition of H2O2 to trigger the Fenton degradation reaction. For non-adsorbable and uncharged bisphenol A (BPA), the removal efficiency was dramatically increased from 1.20 % to 92.77 % after Fenton degradation. Additionally, it presented outstanding recyclability. These results suggest that Fe-MMT@CS/G foam is a sustainable and efficient green material for the alleviation of water pollution.

Abstract
Antibiotics, a kind of containments with the properties of widely distributed and difficult to degrade, has aroused extensive attention in the world. As a prevalent agricultural waste, straws can be utilized to prepare biochar (straw-derived biochar, SBC) to remove antibiotics from aquatic environment. To date, although a number of review papers have summarized and discussed research on biochar application in wastewater treatment and soil remediation, there are few reviews on SBC for antibiotic removal. Due to the limitations of poor adsorption and degradation performance of the pristine SBC, it is necessary to modify SBC to improve its applications for antibiotics removal. The maximum antibiotic removal capacity of modified SBC could reach 1346.55 mg/g. Moreover, the adsorption mechanisms between modified SBC and antibiotics mainly involve π-π interactions, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and charge dipole interactions. In addition, the modified SBC could completely degrade antibiotics within 6 min by activating oxidants, such as PS, PDS, H2O2, and O3. The mechanisms of antibiotic degradation by SBC activated oxidants mainly include free radicals (including SO4•-, •OH, and O2•-) and non-free radical pathway (such as, 1O2, electrons transfer, and surface-confined reaction). Although SBC and modified SBC have demonstrated excellent performance in removing antibiotics, they still face some challenges in practical applications, such as poor stability, high cost, and difficulties in recycling. Therefore, the further research directions and trends for the development of SBC and biochar-based materials should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
The excessive presence of phosphate can cause eutrophication in water bodies. Yttrium has an extremely high affinity for phosphorus and is capable of forming stable complexes at low concentrations. Moreover, limitations in the resourcefulness of drinking water treatment residues were observed. In this study, a highly efficient phosphorus removal adsorbent (RJDWTR@Y) was prepared by calcination-alkali leaching-yttrium-loaded composite modification employing domestic drinking water treatment residue as raw material. And the effects of multiple factors on phosphate adsorption by RJDWTR@Y were examined. The results illustrated that the maximum adsorption capacity of the RJDWTR@Y for phosphate was 319.76 mg/g, with the chemical reaction of the multilayer as the predominant adsorption process. The adsorption mechanism is electrostatic gravitational force and the inner sphere complexation effect. RJDWTR@Y was effective against interference even at high concentrations of the coexisting anion. After five cycles, the desorption efficiency of phosphate was 75.11%. Filling the fixed bed with the material can efficiently remove phosphorus from the flowing liquid. The synthesis of RJDWTR@Y and the results of the study indicated that it has good application prospects. In addition to efficiently removing phosphorus, it can also recycle waste and achieve sustainability.

Abstract
Agri-food residues or by-products have increased their contribution to the global tally of unsustainably generated waste. These residues, characterized by their inherent physicochemical properties and rich in lignocellulosic composition, are progressively being recognized as valuable products that align with the principles of zero waste and circular economy advocated for by different government entities. Consequently, they are utilized as raw materials in other industrial sectors, such as the notable case of environmental remediation. This review highlights the substantial potential of thermochemical valorized agri-food residues, transformed into biochar and hydrochar, as versatile adsorbents in wastewater treatment and as promising alternatives in various environmental and energy-related applications. These materials, with their enhanced properties achieved through tailored engineering techniques, offer competent solutions with cost-effective and satisfactory results in applications in various environmental contexts such as removing pollutants from wastewater or green energy generation. This sustainable approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also paves the way for a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient future, making it an exciting prospect for diverse applications.

Efficiently catalytic degradation of tetracycline via persulfate activation with plant-based biochars: Insight into endogenous mineral self-template effect and pyrolysis catalysis.

Abstract
Endogenous mineral of plant such as potassium, calcium and iron may play a crucial role in boosting the physicochemical structure and catalytic activity of high temperature pyrolyzed plant-based biochar while it is often neglected owing to its relative less content. Herein, self-template pyrolyzed plant-based biochars were prepared from two different ash-contained agricultural wastes of peanut hull (PH, 3.2% ash) and cotton straw (CS, 0.8% ash), and aimed at investigating the relationship among the endogenous mineral fractions of plant-based biomass, physicochemical active structure and persulfate (PS) catalytic degradation activity for tetracycline (TC). The results of energy/spectral characterization showed that under the self-template effect and pyrolysis catalysis of endogenous minerals, PH biochar (PBC) possessed much more specific surface area, conjugated graphite domain, C=O and pyrrolic-N surface active functional sites than CS biochar (CBC), enhancing TC removal rate of PBC/PS to 88.37%, twice that of CBC/PS (44.16%). Meanwhile, reactive oxygen quenching and electrochemical experiments showed that electrons transfer and non-free radical pathways based on singlet oxygen contributed 92% of TC removal in PBC/PS system. Remarkably, by comparing the differences in structure and TC removal performance of pre-deashing and non-deashing prepared plant-based biochars, a possible mechanism for endogenous mineral components' self-template effect and pyrolysis catalysis role of plant-based biomass was proposed. This study provides a new insight for revealing the intrinsic mechanism of mineral elements enhancing the active surface structures and catalytic properties of plant-based biochars derived from distinct feedstocks.

Abstract
Pyrolysis vapor is an important byproduct in the production of biochar from biomass waste, and its emission may pose potential environmental risks. To achieve green production of biochar and efficient utilization of pyrolysis vapors, a novel strategy is proposed in this study to use pristine biochar as an adsorbent to adsorb the pyrolysis vapors. According to thermogravimetry-Fourier infrared spectroscopy-mass spectrometry evaluation, the evolved vapors mainly consisted of oxygenated compounds, hydrocarbons, CO2, CO, and H2O. With pyrolysis temperature increasing, ethers, phenols, hydrocarbons, acids/ketones, and CO2 were changed in the same direction based on two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy analysis. Moreover, butene, propargyl alcohol, and butane were the most abundant ionic fragments. After adsorbing pyrolysis vapors, the heating value of the biochar increased by a maximum of 3.2 MJ kg-1 with changes of physicochemical properties. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for green preparation of biochar while recovering energy from pyrolysis vapors.

Abstract
In this research work, a reusable and efficient 2D/1D heterogeneous structured photocatalyst based on amine-functionalized halloysite nanotubes (MHNTs) and Bi2WO6nanosheet (BWO) was prepared using a facile hydrothermal method for decomposing PPCPs under simulated sunlight. On the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), the effects of composite catalysts prepared under various conditions were discussed. The results showed that over BWO/MHNTs with a mass ratio was 3:1, the synthesizing temperature was 120 °C and the precursor pH value was 1, the TCH (10 mg l-1) degradation efficiency reached 100% after 1 h irradiation of simulated sunlight. Moreover, BWO/MHNTs composites kept good recovery and stable photocatalytic activity after 5 cycles. The excellent dispersion of Bi2WO6on the surface of clay minerals and the oxygen vacancy enhanced electron-hole separation may be responsible for the its high activity and stability. Futhermore, the radical capture test demonstrated that ·O-2was primarily responsible for the photodegradation of TCH. Thus, BWO/MHNTs composites exhibit a good application prospect in the field of sunlight-driven photocatalytic degradation towards PPCPs pollutants in water.

Abstract
This research aims to remove two phenothiazines, promazine (PRO) and promethazine (PMT), from their individual and binary mixtures using olive tree pruning biochar (BC-OTPR). The impact of individual and combinatory effects of operational variables was evaluated for the first time using central composite design (CCD). Simultaneous removal of both drugs was maximized utilizing the composite desirability function. At low concentrations, the uptake of PRO and PMT from their individual solutions was achieved with high efficiency of 98.64%, 47.20 mg/g and 95.87%, 38.16 mg/g, respectively. No major differences in the removal capacity were observed for the binary mixtures. Characterization of BC-OTPR confirmed successful adsorption and showed that the OTPR surface was predominantly mesoporous. Equilibrium investigations revealed that the Langmuir isotherm model best describes the sorption of PRO/PMT from their individual solutions with maximum adsorption capacities of 640.7 and 346.95 mg/g, respectively. The sorption of PRO/PMT conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Regeneration of the adsorbent surface was successfully done with desorption efficiencies of 94.06% and 98.54% for PRO and PMT, respectively, for six cycles.

Tang J, Ma Y, Deng Z, Li P, Qi X, Zhang Z. One-pot preparation of layered double oxides-engineered biochar for the sustained removal of tetracycline in water. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 381:129119.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) and sugarcane bagasse had both exerted enormous strain on environmental security. In this work, new composite adsorbent designed by impregnating bio-waste bagasse with magnesium-aluminum layered double oxides (BC-MA) was innovatively brought forward for TC removal. Benefiting from the abundant adsorption sites supplied by developed pores structure (0.308 cm3·g-1), enlarged surface area (256.8 m2·g-1) and reinforced functional groups, the maximum adsorption amount of BC-MA for TC reached 250.6 mg g-1. Moreover, BC-MA displayed desirable adsorption capacity in diverse water environments coupled with excellent sustainable regeneration ability. The absorption process of TC by BC-MA was spontaneous and endothermic, and the pivotal rate-limiting stage pertained to intraparticle diffusion. The mechanisms proposed here mainly concerned π-π interactions, pore filling, complexation and hydrogen bonding. These findings suggested that the synthesis of modified biochar from bagasse would offer new opportunities for simultaneous waste resource reuse and water pollution control.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:62312-62324.

Abstract
A string of AgCl/Bi3TaO7 two-component composite was synthesized by hydrothermal and deposition-precipitation process initially. The photocatalytic activities of mixed-phase AgCl/Bi3TaO7 were evaluated toward the decomposition of tetracycline (TC). Among these as-prepared materials, AgCl/Bi3TaO7 nanocomposites when the molar ratio of baked materials between AgCl and Bi3TaO7 was 1:5 presented the optimal photocatalytic quantum efficiency for TC dissociation (86.82%) with visible-light exposure, which was 1.69 and 2.38 folders higher than that of single Bi3TaO7 and AgCl, respectively. What is more, it illustrated that the photo-generated carriers were markedly isolated on account of the formation of heterojunction confirmed by EIS analysis. Meanwhile, radical trapping experiments implied that the photo-induced holes (h+), hydroxyl radical (·OH), and superoxide radical (·O2-) were the major active species. The escalated photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the unique construction of Z-scheme AgCl/Bi3TaO7 heterojunction, which could expedite charge separation and transmission, cement light absorption capability and retain the strong redox ability of photo-generated electrons and holes. Our finding suggests that AgCl/Bi3TaO7 nanocomposites possess great potential for photocatalytic oxidation of residual TC in the wastewater effluents and the reported strategy can contribute to the development of novel high-performance photocatalyst.

Effects of ball milling on biochar adsorption of contaminants in water: A meta-analysis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 882:163643. [PMID: 37086985 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Reckless release of contaminants into the environment causes pollution in various aquatic systems on a global scale. Biochar is potentially an inexpensive and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing contaminants from water. Ball milling has been used to enhance biochar's functionality; however, global analysis of the effect of ball milling on biochar's capacity to adsorb contaminants in aqueous solutions has not yet been done. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of ball milling on the adsorption/removal capacity of biochar for contaminants in aqueous solutions, and to investigate whether ball milling effects are related to biochar production, ball milling, and other experimental variables. Overall, ball milling significantly increased biochar adsorption capacity towards both inorganic and organic contaminants, by 69.9% and 561.9%, respectively. This could be attributed to ball milling increasing biochar surface area by 2.05-fold, pore volume by 2.39-fold, and decreasing biochar pH by 0.83-fold. The positive adsorption effects induced by ball milling varied widely, with the most effective being ball milling for 12 to 24 h at 300 to 400 rpm with a biochar:ball mass ratio of 1:100 on biochars produced at 400-550 °C from wood residues. Based on this meta-analysis, we conclude that ball milling could effectively enhance biochar's ability to remove organic and inorganic contaminants from aquatic systems.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 316:137798.

Abstract
Efficient and feasible removal of trace antibiotics from wastewater is extremely important due to its environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, but still remains a huge challenge. Herein, three natural phenol-inspired porous organic polymers were fabricated from natural phenolic-derived monomers (p-hydroxy benzaldehyde, 2,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde and 2,4,6-trihydroxy benzaldehyde) and melamine via polycondensation reaction. Characterization highlighted that the increasing contents of hydroxyl groups in monomers induced an increase of the polymer total porosity and promoted the formation of a highly microporous structure. With mesopore-dominated pore (average pore diameter 9.6 nm) and large pore volume (1.78 cm3/g), p-hydroxy benzaldehyde-based porous polymer (1-HBPP) exhibited ultra-high maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 697.6 mg/g for tetracycline (TC) antibiotic. Meanwhile, the porous networks and plentiful active sites of 1-HBPP enabled fast adsorption kinetics (within 10 min) for TC removal, which could be well described by the pseudo-second-order model. Dynamic adsorption studies showed that 1-HBPP could be used in fixed-bed adsorption column (FBAC) with high removal efficiency (breakthrough volume per unit mass, 13.2 L/g) and dynamic adsorption capacity (201.6 mg/g), which were much higher than other reported adsorbents. The breakthrough curves both well matched with Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models in FBAC treatment. Moreover, removal mechanism analysis affirmed that pore-filling, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions and π-π stacking interactions were main driving forces for TC adsorption. The prepared natural phenol-inspired porous adsorbents show great potential in antibiotics removal from wastewater, and this strategy would promote the sustainable and high-value utilization of natural phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Although magnetic modification has potential for preparing recyclable biochar, the traditional preparation methods of loading magnetic materials on biochar will probably lead to pore blockage and consequently remarkable adsorption recession. Herein, a preparation method was developed in which ball milled biochar was loaded with ultrafine magnetite and then milled for a second time, thus generating a magnetic, recyclable biochar with minimal pore blockage. The deposits of magnetite did not significantly wrap the biochar, although a decreased sorption performance was still detectable. Benefitting from the extra milling step, surface functional groups and specific surface areas of the adsorbents were largely restored, thus leading to a 93.8 % recovery adsorption of 84.6 ± 2.5 mg/L on methylene blue. Meanwhile, the recyclability of the material was not affected. The adsorption was driven by multiple interactions. These twice-milled magnetic biochar is quite outstanding for sustainable removal of aqueous contaminants with its recyclability and high sorption efficiency.

Ball milling and acetic acid co-modified sludge biochar enhanced by electrochemistry to activate peroxymonosulfate for sustainable degradation of environmental concentration neonicotinoids. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 444:130336.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids pose potential serious risks to human health even at environmental concentration and their removal from water is considered as a great challenge. A novel ball milling and acetic acid co-modified sludge biochar (BASBC) was the first time synthesized, which performed superior physicochemical characteristics including larger surface area, more defect structures and functional groups (e.g., CO and -OH). Electrochemistry was introduced to enhance BASBC for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation (E/BASBC/PMS) to degrade environmental concentration neonicotinoids (e.g., imidacloprid (IMI)). The degradation efficiency of IMI was 95.2% within 60 min (C0 (PMS)= 1 mM, E= 25 V, m (BASBC)= 10 mg). Solution pH and anionic species/concentrations were critical affecting factors. The scavenging and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments suggested that •OH and 1O2 were the dominant reactive oxygen species contributing to IMI degradation. Three degradation pathways were proposed and pathway Ⅲ was the main one. 86.1% of IMI were mineralized into non-toxic CO2 and H2O, and others were converted into less toxic intermediates. Also, E/BASBC/PMS system achieved the sustainable degradation of IMI in the cycle experiments. Additionally, it exhibited excellent degradation performance for other three typical neonicotinoids (96.6% of thiacloprid (THI), 96.5% of thiamethoxam (THX) and 82.6% of clothianidin (CLO)) with high mineralization efficiencies (87.8% of THI, 90.5% of THX and 75.4% of CLO).

Abstract
AbstractNanostructured bio-adsorbents were prepared by physical or chemical activation of the residue of supercritical extraction of raspberry seed. Their physicochemical properties were determined by elemental analysis, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Boehm titration and scanning electron microscopy. The biocarbon obtained as a result of physical activation of the precursor showed basic character of the surface and its SBET was 700 m2/g. The chemical activation of the residue of supercritical extraction of raspberry seed with potassium carbonate favored generation of acidic functional groups and SBET of this biocarbon was 1177 m2/g. The nanostructured biocarbons were used for removal of Rhodamine B from its aqueous solutions. The process was best described by the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum capacity of the monolayer was 181.82 mg/g and 277.83 mg/g for the physically and chemically activated samples, respectively. The adsorption energy obtained from the Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm indicated that the process observed was physisorption, while the kinetics of the process was best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The negative values of Gibbs free energy indicated the spontaneous character of the process. For the chemically activated sample, the highest sorption capacities toward Rhodamine B were obtained in an acidic environment, while for the physically activated sample—in a basic environment. The yield of desorption decreased for the media: distilled water > hydrochloric acid > acetic acid, which means that Rhodamine B molecules were weakly bound to the biocarbon surface.

Abstract
The clusters formed by modified materials on its surface makes the application of functionalized biochars in adsorption face a great challenge. Here, a facile ball milling technology was innovatively proposed to tailor Fe-Al oxides-laden bagasse biochar to fabricate a novel adsorbent (BMFA-BC). Benefited from the increased exposure of Fe-Al oxides and, more importantly, enhanced functional groups by ball milling, the adsorption capacity of BMFA-BC for aqueous tetracycline reached up to 116.6 mg g-1 at 298 K. And the adsorption performance was temperature-dependent. Characterization analysis, batch sorption (thermodynamics, kinetics, isotherms, chemical factors) as well as data modeling illustrated that this superior adsorption ability could be attributed to π-π conjugation, H-bonding, complexation as well as pore filling. BMFA-BC displayed good adsorption capacity in multiple aqueous environments. The excellent regeneration ability, magnetic susceptibility ensured its viability for sustainable pollutants removal. These superiorities revealed that BMFA-BC was a suitable sorbent for antibiotics elimination.

The efficient adsorption of tetracycline from aqueous solutions onto polymers with different N-vinylpyrrolidone contents: equilibrium, kinetic and dynamic adsorption.

Abstract
Extensive use of antibiotics in the world will cause potential risks to human health and ecosystems. The removal of these antibiotics has attracted much attention. Composite materials are growing attention for diverse pollutants separation and removal based on their specific functionality and surface area. In this study, a series of N-vinylpyrrolidone-divinylbenzene polymers (NVPD) with different N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) contents were facilely prepared for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC). The effect of polymer surface properties and aqueous solution chemistry (pH, ionic strength, humic acid) on TC adsorption was further studied. The dynamic adsorption and regeneration experiments were also assessed. The results showed that only 25% of NVP was involved in the reaction. When NVP dosage (%) was 75%, polymer (NVPD-g) owned the largest BET surface area (613.23 m2/g) and obtained the maximum TC adsorption capacities (258.76 mg/g). In the kinetic, the adsorption between TC and polymers with NVP was controlled by chemical adsorption and intra-particle diffusion. The TC adsorption process of NVPD-g depended on the contribution of the hydrophobic effect, electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interactions, and cation-π bonding. Moreover, the removal efficiency of TC by NVPD-g was enhanced in the presence of humic acid (HA) in the dynamic adsorption and 1197 BV (2394 mL) of TC simulated wastewater can be treated. These findings suggest that NVPD-g has a potential application in the purification of TC.

Abstract
In the existing eco-crisis, designing and engineering an efficient as well as water stable photocatalyst for energy conversion and pollutant abatement remains crucial. In this regard, a mixed linker type zirconium metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) with terepthalic acid based ditopic linkers were utilized to design a single component photocatalyst through single step solvothermal method to utilize photons from visible light illumination towards hydrogen energy (H2) production and Tetracycline Hydrochloride (TCH) degradation. The one pot synthesized mixed linker based Zr-MOF displays visible light absorption through band gap tuning, superior exciton segregation and oxygen vacancy that cumulatively supports the enhancement in the photocatalytic output with respect to their pristine counterparts. Additionally, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, optical and electrochemical studies strongly reinforces the above claims. The prepared mixed linker Zr-MOF showed superior photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of 247.88 µmol h-1 (apparent conversion efficiency; ACE = 1.9%) that is twice than its pristine Zr-MOFs. Moreover, in TCH degradation, the mixed linker MOF displays an enhanced efficacy of 91.8 % and adopts pseudo-first order type kinetics with a rate constant value of 0.032. Typically, the active species participating for the TCH photo-degradation follows the order of hydroxyl (OH.) < superoxide (O2.-) radicals. Consequently, the mixed linker Zr-MOF could be effectively used as a robust photocatalyst exhibiting boosted TCH degradation and H2 production.

Abstract
Novel microwave biochar derived from wheat straw (WS) using a range of power levels, with activated carbon catalyst as microwave absorber, was produced, characterized and tested as adsorbent of three heavy metals (Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+). The microwave biochar with the greatest specific surface area (156.09 m2 g-1) and total pore volume (0.0790 cm3 g-1) were produced at 600 W (WS600) and 500 W (WS500) power level, respectively. Maximum adsorption capacities of WS500 to Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+ were 139.44 mg g-1, 52.92 mg g-1, and 31.25 mg g-1, respectively. Optimal pH value for heavy metal removal was at range of 5-6, and Pb2+ showed the strongest affinity in competitive adsorption experiments. The adsorption data were fitted better by pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm, indicating that adsorption process was mainly explained by monolayer adsorption, and chemical adsorption occupied important role. The predominant adsorption mechanisms of heavy metals on microwave pyrolysis biochar included complexation with oxygen-containing functional groups (i.e., carboxylic acid CO and -OH) and precipitation with carbonate. In addition, reused WS600 maintained 76.17% and 96.07% of their initial adsorption capacity for Cu2+ and Cd2+, respectively. These results suggest that microwave biochar produced with activated carbon catalyst has excellent potential for efficient use in the removal of heavy metals from waste water.

Abstract
Corn stalk-based and wheat straw-based biochar were modified by lignin impregnation and applied to adsorb tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in wastewater. Porous properties of lignin impregnated biochar were improved and showed better adsorption performance for TCH. Lignin impregnated wheat straw biochar (WS-L) had the maximum adsorption capacity of 31.48 mg/g, which was 1.89 times compared to corresponding pristine biochar, because excellent pore structure developed via the lignin impregnation and carbonization. The adsorption behavior of TCH molecules on biochar could be interpreted well by two-step process, and it postulated to be a physical adsorption process based on pore filling, hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, and electrostatic interactions. And cations including Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Al3+ could compete with TCH for adsorption, while Ca2+ could promote TCH adsorption by forming tetracycline-Ca2+ complexes. Maximum TCH adsorption occurred at pH of 7. The best performing lignin impregnated biochar was WS-L that demonstrated the biochar modulated by lignin had the potential to remove antibiotics from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) antibiotic removal from water bodies is important to provide clean water and sanitation. Mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) photocatalyst derived from three different types of precursors manages to remove TC effectively under visible light irradiation. Among urea, thiourea, and melamine precursors, melamine-prepared GCN (MGCN) via thermal polymerization has the highest efficiency to photodegrade tetracycline (TC) antibiotics up to 99.5% (0.0122 min-1) within 240 min. The COD for TC removal by using MGCN was up to 77.5% after 240 min of degradation. This is due to the slow charge recombination and rapid charge carrier migration. The MGCN encounters different properties such as high crystallinity, dense structure allowing fast charges migration, and nitrogen vacancies that create a defect state that suppresses charge recombination. It was found that the conduction band (CB) of MGCN was located at a more negative position (ECB = -0.33 V) than (O2/O2•-) and the valence band (VB) was placed at a more positive position (EVB = 2.30 V) than (H2O/OH•), which allows generation of both radicals for photodegradation. Based on the cell viability test, the photodegraded TC in the water how non-toxicity toward Balb/c 3T3 cells after being irradiated (λ > 420 nm) for 240 min under visible light. The MGCN prepared in this study demonstrated the highest effectiveness and recyclable photocatalyst for the removal of TC among all GCNs.

Abstract
AbstractWith social progress and industrial development, heavy metal pollution in water and soils environment is becoming more serious. Although biochar is a low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for heavy metal ions, its adsorption and immobilization efficiency still need to be improved. As an upgraded version of biochar, modified biochar has attracted extensive attention in the scientific community. This review summarized the recent research progress on the treatment methods on heavy metal pollutants in water and soils using biochar. The features and advantages of biochar modification techniques such as physical modification, chemical modification, biological modification and other categories of biochar were discussed. The mechanism of removing heavy metals from soil and water by modified biochar was summarized. It was found that biochar had better performance after modification, which provided higher surface areas and more functional groups, and had enough binding sites to combine heavy metal ions. Biochar is a very promising candidate for removing heavy metals in environment. Furthermore, some high valent metal ions could be reduced to low valent metals, such as Cr(VI) reduction to Cr(III), and form precipitates on biochar by in-situ sorption-reduction-precipitation strategy. However, it is still the direction of efforts to develop high-efficiency modified biochar with low-cost, high sorption capacity, high photocatalytic performance, environmentally friendly and no secondary pollution in future.

Abstract
In this study, magnetic biochar (MAB) and humic acid (HA)-coated magnetic biochar produced from apple branches without and after cellulase hydrolysis (HMAB and CHMAB, respectively) were prepared and tested as adsorbents of enrofloxacin (ENR) and moxifloxacin (MFX) in aqueous solution. Compared with MAB and HMAB, novel adsorbent CHMAB possessed a superior mesoporous structure, greater graphitization degree and abundant functional groups. When antibiotic solutions ranged from 2 to 20 mg L-1, the theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of CHMAB for ENR and MFX were 48.3 and 61.5 mg g-1 at 35 °C with adsorbent dosage of 0.4 g L-1, respectively, while those of MAB and HMAB were 39.6 and 54.4 mg g-1, and 44.7 and 59.0 mg g-1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model presented a better fitting to the spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of ENR and MFX onto CHMAB was achieved at initial pH values of 5 and 8, respectively. Additionally, the adsorption capacity of ENR and MFX decreased with increasing concentrations of K+ and Ca2+ (0.02-0.1 mol L-1). Synergism between the pore-filling effect, π-π electron-donor-acceptor interactions, regular and negative charge-assisted H-bonding, surface complexation, electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions may dominate the adsorption process. This study demonstrated that a novel magnetic biochar composite prepared through pyrolysis of agricultural waste lignocellulose hydrolyzed by cellulase in combination with HA coating was a promising adsorbent for eliminating quinolone antibiotics from aqueous media.

Abstract
Defect engineering is a promising method for improving the performance of MoS2 in various fields. In this study, sulfur-defect-enriched MoS2 (SD-MoS2) nanosheets were fabricated via a facile microwave-hydrothermal strategy in 10 min for tetracycline (TC) adsorption applications. The introduction of sulfur defects in MoS2 induced more exposed unsaturated sulfur atoms at the edge, enhancing the interaction between the adsorbent and antibiotic and improving the adsorption activity of the antibiotic. Density functional theory calculations further revealed that sulfur defects in MoS2 could alter the electronic structure and exhibited low TC adsorption energy of -2.09 eV. This work provides a new method for fabricating MoS2 nanosheets and other transition metal dichalcogenide-based adsorbents with enhanced antibiotic removal performance and a comprehensive understanding of antibiotic removal mechanisms in SD-MoS2.

Abstract
Cow dung (CD) is a waste product of livestock production. Improper disposal of a large amount of CD will cause environmental pollution. In this work, three biochar materials based on CD (BMCD) were prepared by using three types of base, including KOH, NaOH, and mixed base (MB, a mixture of equal mass NaOH and KOH) as activators to investigate the different physicochemical properties of BMCDs (BMCD-K, BMCD-Na, and BMCD-MB). The objective was to verify the effectiveness of MB activation in the preparation of biochar materials. The results show that MB has an effect on the structural characteristics of BMCDs. In particular, the surface area and total pore volume, the specific surface area, and the total pore volume of BMCD-MB (4081.1 m2 g−1 and 3.0118 cm3 g−1) are significantly larger than those of BMCD-K (1784.6 m2 g−1 and 1.1142 cm3 g−1) and BMCD-Na (1446.1 m2 g−1 and 1.0788 cm3 g−1). While synthetic dye rhodamine B (RhB) and antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) were selected as organic pollutant models to explore the adsorption performances, the maximum adsorption capacities of BMCD-K, BMCD-NA and BMCD-MB were 951, 770, and 1241 mg g−1 for RhB, 975, 1051, and 1105 mg g−1 for TH, respectively, which were higher than those of most adsorbents. This study demonstrated that MB can be used as an effective activator for the preparation of biochar materials with enhanced performance.

Abstract
It is important to solve the problems of biomass treatment and combined contaminants removal in environmental remediation. In this study, a calcium (Ca) modified biochar (CaBC800) was fabricated using corn stover (CS) as a raw material to remove phosphate and tetracycline (TC). The experimental results indicate that CaBC800 can adsorb both inorganic phosphate and organic TC. The entire adsorption process corresponds to pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacities of phosphate and TC were 33.944 and 33.534 mg/g, respectively. The phosphate adsorption was demonstrated to mainly depend on the chemical precipitation by Ca2+ and ligand exchange by hydroxyl groups from CaBC800. Meanwhile, hydrogen bonding from oxygen functional groups and π-π interactions from aromatic rings are the main adsorption mechanisms of TC. This study provides a new adsorbent to efficiently remove phosphate and TC, and the simultaneous adsorption indicates the application potential of CaBC800 in wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Both ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sugarcane bagasse have brought enormous pressure on environmental safety. Here, an innovative technique combining Fe-Mg-layered double oxides and ball milling was presented for the first time to convert bagasse-waste into a new biochar adsorbent (BM-LDOs-BC) for aqueous CIP removal. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of BM-LDOs-BC reached up to 213.1 mg g-1 due to abundant adsorption sites provided by well-developed pores characteristics and enhanced functional groups. The results of characterization, data fitting and environmental parameter revealed that pore filling, electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, complexation and π-π conjugation were the key mechanisms for CIP adsorptive removal. BM-LDOs-BC exhibited satisfactory environmental safety and outstanding adsorption capacity under various environmental situations (pH, inorganic salts, humic acid). Moreover, BM-LDOs-BC possessed excellent reusability. These superiorities illustrated that BM-LDOs-BC was a promising adsorbent and created a new avenue for rational placement of biowaste and high-efficiency synthesis of biochar for antibiotic removal.

Abstract
Presently, as the prevalent pyrolysis atmospheres, N2 is widely used, while air-limitation and CO2 are rarely considered, to produce biochar to adsorb tetracycline. This study thus used N2, CO2, and air-limitation to produce various biochars at 300 ∼ 750 °C, and explored their structure-performance relationship for tetracycline sorption. The maximum sorption capacities of biochars produced in CO2 and air-limitation were 55.36 mg/g and 71.11 mg/g (at 750 °C), respectively, being 2.34 and 3.01 times that of biochars produced in N2 (23.60 mg/g at 750 °C). Interestingly, except for high pore volume and specific surface area supported pore filling and sites providing effect, ash (containing metal cations, P-O, and S=O) induced complexing effect was the primary mechanism for tetracycline sorption, rather than hydrophobic effect, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bond caused by C composition. This study provides important information about adjusting the pyrolysis atmosphere to improve the sorption performance of biochar toward tetracycline.

Abstract
The rational design of carbon-based adsorbents with a high uptake efficiency for polar organic molecules is a key challenge in water purification research. Herein, we report a graphene aerogel that is doped with pyridinic-N and has abundant ring defects (denoted by DNGA). The aerogel sample exhibits a high adsorption capacity of 607.1 mg/g toward tetracycline (TC), a fast adsorption process (20 min), and good reusability (with a declining efficiency < 10.0% after five cycles), while being easy to recycle. C/N K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) measurements demonstrate that the efficient adsorption capacity of the DNGA sample is related to the presence of ring defects and the pyridinic-N species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that ring defects of type 5-8-5 and the pyridinic-N species at the edge location are primarily responsible for TC removal. In this study, we resolve a controversial issue regarding the origin of the adsorption performance origin of N-doped carbon-based adsorbents. The findings of this study can guide the development of novel and improved N-doped carbon-based adsorbents for the removal of target contaminants.

Abstract
Biochar derived from corn stalk doping with activated carbon was produced by microwave-assisted pyrolysis and applied to sorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs: benzene and o-xylene). Specific surface area (SSA), total pore volume (TPV) and micropore volume (MV) of microwave biochar increased with increasing microwave power with the maximum values 325.2 m2·g-1, 0.181 mL·g-1 and 0.1420 mL·g-1, respectively. Adsorption capacities of benzene and o-xylene on microwave biochar ranged 6.82-54.75 mg·g-1 and 7.43-48.73 mg·g-1, which were separate positively related with SSA, TPV, and MV. Benzene adsorption was mainly dominated by surface interaction and partition mechanisms, while o-xylene adsorption was governed by pore filling. The adsorption capacities of microwave biochar for benzene and o-xylene decreased by only 0.30% and 0.99% on the 5th cycle that illustrated the reasonably good reusability of microwave biochar. The results of this research demonstrate that microwave biochar is a promising adsorbent for VOCs removal.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) has been frequently detected in various environments, thus promoting the occurrence of resistance in bacterial populations. In this study, a suite of soybean straw biochars (SSBs) were fabricated under different pyrolysis temperatures (600-1000 °C), which were utilized as peroxydisulfate (PS) activators for TC degradation and TC resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) disinfection. The purification effect of SSBs/PS systems manifested obvious positive dependence on pyrolysis temperature of SSBs with SSB1000/PS system obtained the superior TC degradation, E. coli disinfection and coexisting TC and E. coli elimination capacity. The leakage of intracellular DNA and the degradation of total DNA and extracellular DNA was revealed no matter in alone E. coli or combined pollution which can also be supported by the gradual ruptured bacterial morphology and attenuated internal components. It can be found that TC adsorption in SSBs played a significant role on TC degradation, while the electrostatic repulsion always existed between E. coli and SSB1000. Furthermore, a battery of solid evidences collectively demonstrated the significant different purification mechanism of TC and E. coli. The TC degradation was achieved dominantly by surface-bound radicals, while bactericidal activity should be attributed to free SO4·- in bulk solutions. In contrast to other SSBs, the largest mesopore volumes, highest C=O content, lowest interfacial charge transfer resistance and strongest electron donating capacity explained the outperformed catalytic performance of SSB1000.

Abstract
A series of microwave biochars derived from wheat straw in the presence of a granulated activated carbon (GAC) catalyst, using a range of microwave conditions, were produced, characterized and tested as sorbents of three benzene series volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The microwave biochar with the greatest specific surface area (SSA), total pore volume (TPV), and micropore volume (312.62 m2 g-1, 0.2218 cm3 g-1, and 0.1380 cm3 g-1, respectively), were produced with 1:3 biomass:GAC catalyst mass ratio, 10 min microwave irradiation time, and at 500 W power level (WB500). Maximum adsorption capacities of WB500 to benzene, toluene and o-xylene were 53.9 mg g-1, 75.8 mg g-1 and 63.0 mg g-1, respectively, and were directly correlated to microwave biochar properties such as SSA, TPV or micropore volume, but were also influenced by VOC properties such as molecular polarity and boiling point. Kinetic modeling suggested that adsorption was governed by both physical partitioning and chemisorption mechanisms. In addition, microwave biochars maintained 79% to 92% of their initial adsorption capacity after ten adsorption/desorption cycles. These results suggest that microwave biochars produced with an GAC catalyst have excellent potential for efficient use in the removal of VOCs from waste gas.

Abstract
MoS2 was vertically grown on g-C3N4 nanosheets by chemical vapor deposition to prepare nanocomposites named MS-CN samples. Because of a large-surface area of 545.2 m2·g-1 and a total pore volume of 1.7 cm3·g-1, the sample MS-CN revealed fast and large adsorption capacity for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The adsorption kinetics model proved that TCH could be rapidly adsorbed within 5 min, and chemical adsorption was dominant. For single-component adsorption of TCH, the maximum adsorption capacity was ∼154 mg/g. The monolayer adsorption was carried out on the surface of MS-CN. Both of the film and intra-particle diffusion were considered as significant processes to facilitate adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of TCH is a spontaneous endothermic process. The adsorption of TCH was highly pH-dependent. The maximum adsorption capacity of TCH was obtained in the case of pH ∼ 7. After four adsorption and desorption cycles, MS-CN still maintained well-adsorption performance. Multiple adsorption mechanism, pore filling, electrostatic force, π-π conjugation, and hydrogen bonding interactions were studied. Because of fast adsorption, large adsorption capacity, and high stability, it is a promising adsorbent for antibiotics.

Abstract
A bio-based ceramic/organic xerogel (BCO-xerogel) was obtained from the combination of sugarcane bagasse ash, polyvinyl alcohol, and pine cone-derived tannin extract, which are abundant, non-toxic, and renewable sources. The as-prepared BCO-xerogel was used as a low-cost green adsorbent for the eliminate of four types of the most widely used antibiotics, including amoxicillin (AMX), tetracycline (TC), cefalexin (CLX), and penicillin G (PEN G) residuals from contaminated water. The simultaneous effects conventional variables including adsorbent dosage, antibiotic concentrations, solution pH, and contact time were studied and optimized by central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed as a statistical formula to determine the significance of operating environmental conditions and their interactions with 95% confidence limits. Under optimized conditions, the experimental removal efficiencies for AMX, TC, CLX, and PEN G were 98.78 ± 3.25, 99.12 ± 2.52, 98.02 ± 1.98, and 98.42 ± 2.19, respectively. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics were better fitted with Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption process was endothermic, spontaneous, and occurred by combination of physical and chemical mechanisms. Also, evaluating the ability of BCO-xerogel to adsorptive removal of AMX, TC, CLX, and PEN G antibiotics in real wastewaters showed about 97.4-98.6% adsorption efficiency in river water and about 67.1-71.3% in three hospital effluents. After the adsorption process, the antibiotic-loaded adsorbent was regenerated by NaOH (0.01 mol L-1), and the reusability tests showed that the removal efficiencies of the antibiotics in the four recovery steps were still above 90%. This work explored the development of green, efficient, and economical bio-adsorbent that can be utilized for the removal of antibiotics from contaminated wastewaters.
