Abstract
Remediating hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from contaminated water systems is a significant concern due to its harmful effects on human health, aquatic life, and plants. To tackle this issue, scientists have created a chitosan cross-linked hydrous ceria incorporated cupric oxide bio-polymeric composite (CHCCO) by combining chitosan biopolymer with corresponding metal ions using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. The composite was characterized using advanced analytical instruments such as FTIR, p-XRD, SEM, XPS, etc. The synthesized composite (CHCCO) was then tested for its efficiency in removing Cr(VI) from synthetic Cr(VI) aqueous samples. The parameters examined included pH, material dose, contact time, concentration, temperature, and co-existing ions. The experimental data showed that the kinetics and equilibrium data fit well with the pseudo-second-order and the Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated that the investigated surface adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Except for the SO42- ion, no other species imparts adverse influence significantly on the reaction. The CHCCO bio-composite surfaces were refreshed using a dilute NaOH (1.0 M) solution and effectively recycled five times for Cr(VI) adsorption, indicating no significant surface activity deterioration. This study highlights the high effectiveness of CHCCO bio-polymeric composites in Cr(VI) remediation and the potential for this technology as an easy-to-use technique for environmental restoration.

Abstract
The novel glutamic acid crosslinked chitosan membrane (CsG) was fabricated and tested for its adsorption capabilities for the removal of multiple pollutants like Cr (VI), cyanide, fluoride and diclofenac sodium from wastewater. This fabricated CsG membrane was characterized by various techniques like FT-IR, SEM, EDX and XRD, BET to assess its structural, compositional and morphological properties. The working parameters studied by batch experiments were solution pH, CsG dose, contact time, pollutant concentration and solution temperature. The CsG membrane exhibited maximum adsorption capacity of 410.7 mg/g, 310.2 mg/g, 14.3 mg/g, 132.7 mg/g for Cr (VI), cyanide, fluoride and diclofenac respectively. The validation of the operational parameters was performed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The experimental data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and followed pseudo second order kinetics for all the four targeted contaminants. The spontaneity of the process was checked by thermodynamics studies. The high partition coefficients of 7669 L/kg Cr(VI), 23,309 L/kg (CN-), 649 L/kg (F-) and 2613 L/kg (DFC) are the indicators of excellent attractive interaction between CsG membrane and target toxicants. The CsG membrane showed efficient regenerative adsorption properties up to 5 adsorption-desorption cycles. Overall, the developed novel CsG membrane promised as an effective material for the removal of multiple number of pollutants from water.

Abstract
Chitosan is a modified natural carbohydrate polymer that has been found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans (e.g., lobsters, shrimps, krill, barnacles, crayfish, etc.), mollusks (octopus, oysters, squids, snails), algae (diatoms, brown algae, green algae), insects (silkworms, beetles, scorpions), and the cell walls of fungi (such as Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Phycomycetes; for example, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum). However, it is mostly acquired from marine crustaceans such as shrimp shells. Chitosan-based composites often present superior chemical, physical, and mechanical properties compared to single chitosan by incorporating the benefits of both counterparts in the nanocomposites. The tunable surface chemistry, abundant surface-active sites, facilitation synthesize and functionalization, good recyclability, and economic viability make the chitosan-based materials potential adsorbents for effective and fast removal of a broad range of inorganic anions. This article reviews the different types of inorganic anions and their effects on the environment and human health. The development of the chitosan-based composites synthesis, the various parameters like initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, the mechanism of adsorption, and regeneration of adsorbents are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects and technical challenges are emphasized to improve the performance of chitosan-based composites in actual applications on a pilot or industrial scale.

Fluoride disrupts intestinal epithelial tight junction integrity through intracellular calcium-mediated RhoA/ROCK signaling and myosin light chain kinase. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 257:114940. [PMID: 37099960 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114940] [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: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Fluoride is a common contaminant of groundwater and agricultural commodity, which poses challenges to animal and human health. A wealth of research has demonstrated its detrimental effects on intestinal mucosal integrity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. This study aimed to investigate the role of the cytoskeleton in fluoride-induced barrier dysfunction. After sodium fluoride (NaF) treatment of the cultured Caco-2 cells, both cytotoxicity and cytomorphological changes (internal vacuoles or massive ablation) were observed. NaF lowered transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and enhanced paracellular permeation of fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran 4 (FD-4), indicating Caco-2 monolayers hyperpermeability. In the meantime, NaF treatment altered both the expression and distribution of the tight junction protein ZO-1. Fluoride exposure increased myosin light chain II (MLC2) phosphorylation and triggered actin filament (F-actin) remodeling. While inhibition of myosin II by Blebbistatin blocked NaF-induced barrier failure and ZO-1 discontinuity, the corresponding agonist Ionomycin had effects comparable to those of fluoride, suggesting that MLC2 serves as an effector. Given the mechanisms upstream of p-MLC2 regulation, further studies demonstrated that NaF activated RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), strikingly increasing the expression of both. Pharmacological inhibitors (Rhosin, Y-27632 and ML-7) reversed NaF-induced barrier breakdown and stress fiber formation. The role of intracellular calcium ions ([Ca2+]i) in NaF effects on Rho/ROCK pathway and MLCK was investigated. We found that NaF elevated [Ca2+]i, whereas chelator BAPTA-AM attenuated increased RhoA and MLCK expression as well as ZO-1 rupture, thus, restoring barrier function. Collectively, abovementioned results suggest that NaF induces barrier impairment via Ca2+-dependent RhoA/ROCK pathway and MLCK, which in turn triggers MLC2 phosphorylation and rearrangement of ZO-1 and F-actin. These results provide potential therapeutic targets for fluoride-induced intestinal injury.

Abstract
In order to improve the stability, electrostatic interaction and ion exchange ability of chitosan for Cr (VI) removal, it is an effective strategy to introduce polyvalent metal ions and polymers into chitosan molecular chain through crosslinking. In this paper, Zr4+ and glutaraldehyde crosslinked polyethyleneimine functionalized chitosan (CGPZ) composite was successfully synthesized and characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, BET, and XPS. The results showed that polyethyleneimine was successfully grafted onto chitosan by Schiff base reaction, while the appearance of ZrO and ZrN bonds verified the successful preparation of CGPZ. The monolayer maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) by CGPZ was 593.72 mg g-1 at 298 K and t = 210 min. The removal efficiency of 100 mg L-1 Cr(VI) reached 95.7 %. The thermodynamic, isotherm and kinetic results show that the adsorption process of Cr (VI) by CGPZ is a spontaneous endothermic process controlled by entropy, which accords with Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The regeneration experiments show that both HCl and NaOH can effectively desorb Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from the adsorbent surface, and the adsorbent has good acid-base resistance and regeneration performance. The removal of Cr(VI) mainly involves electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, reduction and complexation. CGPZ can synergistically adsorb Cr(VI) by electrostatic interaction of -NH2/-C=N and ion exchange of Cl- ion in the center of Zr, then reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) (45.4 % at pH = 2.0) by the -OH group on its surface, and chelate Cr(III) through COO- and -NH- groups.

Abstract
A novel ternary composite was synthesized comprising graphene oxide-modified porous chitosan cross-linked polyaniline (GO@CS-PANI) by improved Hummers method, followed by cross-linking and grafting. The morphological, structural, and electrical properties of the composite were characterized by FESEM, BET, XRD, RAMAN, FTIR spectra, and zeta potential. It was found that the composite shows excellent Cr(VI) removal performance both in static and dynamic adsorption. The optimal adsorption parameters were solution at pH of 2.0, adsorbent dosage of 0.4 g/L, time of 45 min, and temperature of 35 °C. The Langmuir isotherm model was the best-fitted model, indicating homogeneous adsorption with maximum uptake of 539.83 mg/g. Pseudo-second-order was the best-fitted kinetic model, and the rate was controlled by film diffusion. Thermodynamic data demonstrated that the process was spontaneous, endothermic, and feasible. From the dynamic study, it was witnessed that a lower flow rate and a higher bed height were suitable for maximum adsorption performance. The Thomas model was the best-fitted model for data obtained from the dynamic study. Competition from interfering ions showed that anions have little effect on Cr(VI) removal, whereas cations have no such effect. The adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction, ion exchange, and metal ion complexion. After five cycles of adsorption-desorption study, the composite still removed 76% Cr(VI). These findings of the present study and the reusable nature of GO@CS-PANI composite signify the innovative and excellent adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Fluoride is one of the essential trace elements for the human body, but excessive fluoride will cause serious environmental and health problems. This paper summarizes researches on the removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions using newly developed or improved biomass materials and biomass-like organic materials in recent years. These biomass materials are classified into chitosan, microorganisms, lignocellulose plant materials, animal attribute materials, biological carbonized materials and biomass-like organic materials, which are explained and analyzed. By comparing adsorption performance and mechanism of adsorbents for removing fluoride, it is found that carbonizing materials and modifying adsorbents with metal ions are more beneficial to improving adsorption efficiency and the adsorption mechanisms are various. The adsorption capacities are still considerable after regeneration. This paper not only reviews the properties of these materials for fluoride removal, but also focuses on the comparison of materials performance and fluoride removal mechanism. Herein, by discussing the improved adsorption performance and research technology development of biomass materials and biomass-like organic materials, various innovative ideas are provided for adsorbing and removing contaminants.

Abstract
The key designing of new breeds of the adsorbents aimed to improve the physical, chemical and textural morphology along with surface functionalization, selectivity toward the contaminants, and regenerations efficiency. In this aspect, two adsorbents named wet oxidative and ultrasonicated zirconium impregnated composite, have been synthesized through two routes, i.e., wet oxidation and ultrasonication. In wet oxidation method, carbon-based materials are oxidized using an oxidant followed by impregnation, while in ultrasonication assisted route, the impregnation is carried out using acoustic phenomenon. The characterization study revealed that the wet oxidation process is more competent in impregnating zirconium and developing diverse porosity and functionalities. The maximum adsorption capacity of wet oxidative adsorbent was 812 mg/g for Reactive Blue 19 and 203.18 mg/g for Methylene Blue, that accentuated the efficiency of the adsorbent over raw activated carbon. The electrostatic interaction, hydrogen-bonding and ligand exchange phenomenon are the involved adsorption mechanism for dyes. The regeneration study finally asserts that the wet oxidative adsorbent shows an insignificant decrease in its capacity up to the 5th-cycle (i.e., 87.67% removal at 5th cycle) as compared to raw AC (46.71% removal at 5th cycle). Further, a continuous fixed-bed column study revealed a significant correlation between experimental breakthrough data and kinetic data. Thus, the developed adsorbent has a sedulous adsorption capacity to remove the most stubborn toxic dyes and can be used in industrial-scale applications.

Abstract
The emergence and continual accumulation of industrial micropollutants such as dyes, heavy metals, organic matters, and pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in the ecosystem pose an alarming hazard to human health and the general wellbeing of global flora and fauna. To offer eco-friendly solutions, living and non-living algae have lately been identified and broadly practiced as promising agents in the bioremediation of micropollutants. The approach is promoted by recent findings seeing better removal performance, higher efficiency, surface area, and binding affinity of algae in various remediation events compared to bacteria and fungi. To give a proper and significant insight into this technology, this paper comprehensively reviews its current applications, removal mechanisms, comparative efficacies, as well as future outlooks and recommendations. In conducting the review, the secondary data of micropollutants removal have been gathered from numerous sources, from which their removal performances are analyzed and presented in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT), to specifically examine their suitability for selected micropollutants remediation. Based on kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic, and SWOT analysis, non-living algae are generally more suitable for dyes and heavy metals removal, meanwhile living algae are appropriate for removal of organic matters and PhACs. Moreover, parametric effects on micropollutants removal are evaluated, highlighting that pH is critical for biodegradation activity. For selective pollutants, living and non-living algae show recommendable prospects as agents for the efficient cleaning of industrial wastewaters while awaiting further supporting discoveries in encouraging technology assurance and extensive applications.

Abstract
The presence of organic dye molecules and heavy metal ions in water causes ecological and public health problems. Therefore, remediation of water/wastewater contaminated with organic dye molecules and toxic metal ions is of importance. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-hydroxyapatite (Hat) (1D-2D) hybrid composite was fabricated through a hydrothermal process and applied for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from water. The as-fabricated RGO-Hat hybrids were characterized using FTIR, XRD, HR-TEM, SEM, XPS, EDAX, and TGA-DSC analytical techniques. The influencing parameters of adsorption performance, namely solution pH, contact time, and co-interfering ions, were explored to obtain the maximum adsorption capacity of contaminants from the solid-liquid interface. Batch studies revealed that MO and Cr(VI) adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption capacity was 49.14 and 45.24 mg g-1 for MO and Cr(VI), respectively. The adsorption of such ions over RGO-Hat hybrids was mainly driven by several uptake mechanisms viz, electrostatic force of attraction, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Thus, this study demonstrated that the RGO-Hat hybrid is a potential candidate for the treatment of MO and Cr(VI) from water.

Abstract
The quality of water is continuously under threat as increasing concentrations of pollutants escape into the aquatic environment. However, these issues can be alleviated by adsorbing pollutants onto adsorbents. Chitosan and its composites are attracting considerable interest as environmentally acceptable adsorbents and have the potential to remove many of these contaminants. In this review the development of chitosan-based adsorbents is described and discussed. Following a short introduction to the extraction of chitin from seafood wastes, followed by its conversion to chitosan, the properties of chitosan are described. Then, the emerging chitosan/carbon-based materials, including magnetic chitosan and chitosan combined with graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, biochar, and activated carbon and also chitosan-silica composites are introduced. The applications of these materials in the removal of various heavy metal ions, including Cr(VI), Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), and different cationic and anionic dyes, phenol and other organic molecules, such as antibiotics, are reviewed, compared and discussed. Adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics are then highlighted and followed by details on the mechanisms of adsorption and the role of the chitosan and the carbon or silica supports. Based on the reviewed papers, it is clear, that while some challenges remain, chitosan-based materials are emerging as promising adsorbents.
