Deciphering the mechanistic role of Bacillus paramycoides (PM51) and Bacillus tequilensis (PM52) in bio-sorption and phyto-assimilation of Cadmium via Linum usitatissimum L. Seedlings. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 211:108652. [PMID: 38723488 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108652] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Three Cd2+ resistant bacterium's minimal inhibition concentrations were assessed and their percentages of Cd2+ accumulation were determined by measurements using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results revealed that two isolates Bacillus paramycoides (PM51) and Bacillus tequilensis (PM52), identified by 16S rDNA gene sequencing, showed a higher percentage of Cd2+ accumulation i.e., 83.78% and 81.79%, respectively. Moreover, both novel strains can tolerate Cd2+ levels up to 2000 mg/L isolated from district Chakwal. Amplification of the czcD, nifH, and acdS genes was also performed. Batch bio-sorption studies revealed that at pH 7.0, 1 g/L of biomass, and an initial 150 mg/L Cd2+ concentration were the ideal bio-sorption conditions for Bacillus paramycoides (PM51) and Bacillus tequilensis (PM52). The experimental data were fit to Langmuir isotherm measurements and Freundlich isotherm model R2 values of 0.999 for each of these strains. Bio sorption processes showed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The intra-diffusion model showed Xi values for Bacillus paramycoides (PM51) and Bacillus tequilensis (PM52) of 2.26 and 2.23, respectively. Different surface ligands, was investigated through Fourier-transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The scanning electron microscope SEM images revealed that after Cd2+ adsorption, the cells of both strains became thick, adherent, and deformed. Additionally, both enhanced Linum usitatissimum plant seed germination under varied concentrations of Cd2+ (0 mg/L, 250 mg/L,350 mg/L, and 500 mg/L). Current findings suggest that the selected strains can be used as a sustainable part of bioremediation techniques.

Abstract
The composite material SBC-Fe-x with sludge and Fe3+ was developed by different calcination temperatures (600, 700, and 800 °C) for the removal of tetracycline (TC). The adsorption rates of SBC-Fe-600, SBC-Fe-700, and SBC-Fe-800 were 77.5%, 89%, and 91%, respectively. Furthermore, the Langmuir model indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of SBC-Fe-700 (157.93 mg/g) was three times greater than that of SBC-Fe-600. The conclusions were confirmed by a series of characterizations that SBC-Fe-700 showed a larger specific surface area, well-developed pore structure, rich oxygen-containing functional groups and a high degree of graphitization. The results of pH experiments indicated the broad applicability of SBC-Fe-700 for TC adsorption. In addition, SBC-Fe-700 suggested outstanding performance in different water environments. This work produced a feasible adsorbent for the removal of TC, and a new direction for sludge resource utilization was proposed.

Abstract
Water pollution remains a pressing environmental issue, with diverse pollutants such as heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds posing a significant threat to clean water access. Historically, biomass-derived activated carbons (ACs) have served as effective adsorbents for water treatment, owing to their inherent porosity and expansive surface area. Nanocomposites have emerged as a means to enhance the absorption properties of ACs, surpassing conventional AC performance. Biomass-based activated carbon nanocomposites (ACNCs) hold promise due to their high surface area and cost-effectiveness. This review explores recent advancements in biomass-based ACNCs, emphasizing their remarkable adsorption efficiencies and paving the way for future research in developing efficient and affordable ACNCs. Leveraging real-time communication for ACNC applications presents a viable approach to addressing cost concerns.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in water resources is a major issue worldwide. Metals released into the environment endanger human health, owing to their persistence and absorption into the food chain. Cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal, which causes severe health hazards in human beings as well as in animals. To overcome the issue, current research focused on cadmium ion removal from the polluted water by using porous magnetic chitosan composite produced from Kaphal (Myrica esculenta) leaves. The synthesized composite was characterized by BET, XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM with EDX, and VSM to understand the structural, textural, surface functional, morphological-compositional, and magnetic properties, respectively, that contributed to the adsorption of Cd. The maximum Cd adsorption capacities observed for the Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) and porous magnetic chitosan (MCS) composite were 290 mg/g and 426 mg/g, respectively. Both the adsorption processes followed second-order kinetics. Batch adsorption studies were carried out to understand the optimum conditions for the fast adsorption process. Both the adsorbents could be regenerated for up to seven cycles without appreciable loss in adsorption capacity. The porous magnetic chitosan composite showed improved adsorption compared to MNPs. The mechanism for cadmium ion adsorption by MNPs and MCS has been postulated. Magnetic-modified chitosan-based composites that exhibit high adsorption efficiency, regeneration, and easy separation from a solution have broad development prospects in various industrial sewage and wastewater treatment fields.

Abstract
Surface oxygen functional groups of biochar were tuned by oxidation and reduction of biochar for establishing Cr(VI) adsorption mechanism. Oxygen functional groups (OFGs) on the surface of leached rice straw biochar (LBC4-6) obtained from pyrolysis at 400, 500 and 600 °C, were oxidized to furnish OBC4-6 using modified Hummer's method. Reduced biochar RBC4-6 were obtained by esterification and NaBH4/I2 reduction of oxidized biochar (OBC4-6). The modified biochar were characterized by increase in O/C and H/C ratio, respectively, in case of OBC4-6 and RBC4-6. The Cr(VI) adsorption by modified biochar LBC4-6, OBC4-6, and RBC4-6 showed optimum conditions of pH 3 and dose 0.1 g/L with a good non-linear fit for Langmuir & Freundlich isotherm. The maximum adsorption (Qm) followed the trend: OBC4 (17.47 mg/g) > RBC4 (15.23) > OBC5 (13.23) > LBC4 (10.23) > RBC5 (9.83) > OBC6 (9.60) > RBC6 (7.24) > LBC5 (6.32) > LBC6 (5.98). The adsorption kinetics for adsorption of Cr(VI) on to modified biochar fits pseudo second order (PSO), Elovich and intraparticle diffusion kinetics, showing a chemisorptions in case of biochar L/O/RBC4-6. The lower temperature modified biochar O/RBC4 show better Cr(VI) adsorption. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) studies establish optimum OFGs for reduction of Cr(VI) and chelation of the reduced Cr(III). Adsorption and stripping cycles show the oxidized and reduced biochar as better adsorbents with excellent stripping of Cr up to >98 % upon desorption with 1 M NaOH.

Abstract
The present study reports low-cost novel biogenic magnetite Citrus limetta peels carbon (Fe3O4/CLPC) nanocomposites and modified Fe3O4/CLPC@CS nanocomposites cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and subsequently employed in batch mode sequestration of heavy metals ions. Diverse techniques fully characterized them, and the influence of operating variables on adsorption reactions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface areas of synthesized Fe3O4/CLPC and Fe3O4/CLPC@CS NCs were 53.91 and 32.16 m2/g, while the mesoporous diameters were 7.69 and 7.57 nm, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo second order kinetic were well-fitting and capable of explaining the adsorption reaction. The Langmuir-based monolayer adsorption (qmax) for Fe3O4/CLPC@CS NCs was 82.65, 95.24, and 64.10 mg/g, higher than Fe3O4/CLPC NCs, which were 70.92, 84.75, and 59.17 mg/g for Ni (II), Pb (II), and Zn (II), respectively. Each metal's pseudo second order correlation coefficient (R2 ≥ 0.99) reveals that nanocomposites surface binding functional groups controlled the adsorption rate via chemisorption. Further, thermodynamic results confirm that each studied metal ions' adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic, and characterized by an increase in randomness. In addition to magnetic separability, three ad-desorption cycles yielded exceptional adsorption efficacy and > 93% regenerability. The present study also reveals the effective utilization of Fe3O4/CLPC and Fe3O4/CLPC@CS NCs as cost-effective magnetic separable green adsorbents for heavy metals sequestration from electroplating wastewater.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to improve the stability of Roselle extract (RE) by spray-drying using maltodextrin (MD) alone, and in combination with WPC in the forms of unmodified and modified (via ultrasonication, UWPC, or enzymatic hydrolysis, HWPC). Enzymatic hydrolysis by improving the surface activity of WPC increased spray-drying yield (75.1 %), and improved physical (flow) and functional (solubility, and emulsifying) properties of obtained microparticles. Degree of hydrolysis of the primary WPC (2.6 %) was increased to 6.1 % and 24.6 % after ultrasonication and hydrolysis, respectively. Both modifications caused a significant increase in the solubility of WPC, in a way that initial solubility (10.6 %, at pH = 5) was significantly increased to 25.5 % in UWPC, and to 87.3 % in HWPC (P < 0.05). Furthermore, emulsifying activity (20.6 m2/g) and emulsifying stability (17 %) indices of primary WPC (at pH = 5) were significantly increased to 32 m2/g and 30 % in UWPC, and to 92.4 m2/g and 69.0 % in HWPC, respectively (P < 0.05). FT-IR analysis indicated successful encapsulation of RE within carriers' matrix. According to FE-SEM study, the surface morphology of microparticles was improved when modified HWPC was used as a carrier. Microencapsulation of RE with HWPC showed the highest contents of total phenolic compounds (13.3 mg GAE/mL), total anthocyanins (9.1 mg C3G/L) as well as a higher retention of antioxidant activity according to ABTS+ (85.0 %) and DPPH (79.5 %) radicals scavenging assays. Considering all properties of microparticles obtained by HWPC next to their color attributes, it can be concluded that HWPC-RE powders could be used as natural colorant and antioxidant source for the fortification of gummy candy. Gummy candy obtained using 6 % concentration of the above powder gave the highest overall sensory scores.

Abstract
The elimination of heavy metal ion contaminants from residual waters is critical to protect humans and the environment. The natural clay (dolomite and quartz) based composite Fe3O4 nanoparticles (DQ@Fe3O4) has been largely explored for this purpose. Experimental variables such as temperature, pH, heavy metal concentration, DQ@Fe3O4 dose, and contact time were optimized in details. The DQ@Fe3O4 nanocomposite was found to achieve maximum removals of 95.02% for Pb2+ and 86.89% for Cd2+, at optimal conditions: pH = 8.5, adsorbent dose = 2.8 g L-1, the temperature = 25 °C, and contact time = 140 min, for 150 mg L-1 heavy metal ion initial concentration. The Co-precipitation of dolomite-quartz by Fe3O4 nanoparticles was evidenced by SEM-EDS, TEM, AFM, FTIR, XRD, and TGA analyses. Further, the comparison to the theoretical predictions, of the adsorption kinetics, and at the equilibrium, of the composite, revealed that they fit, respectively to, the pseudo-second-order kinetic, and Langmuir isotherm. These both models were found to better describe the metal binding onto the DQ@Fe3O4 surface. This suggested a homogenous monolayer sorption dominated by surface complexation. Additionally, thermodynamic data have shown that the adsorption of heavy metal ions is considered a spontaneous and exothermic process. Moreover, Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were performed in order to elucidate the interactions occurring between the heavy metal ions and the DQ@Fe3O4 nanocomposite surface. A good correlation was found between the simulated and the experimental data. Moreover, based on the negative values of the adsorption energy (Eads), the adsorption process was confirmed to be spontaneous. In summary, the as-prepared DQ@Fe3O4 can be considered a low-cost-effective heavy metals adsorbent, and it has a great potential application for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Effects of hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate (WPC) and its combination with polysaccharides as wall material in spray-drying microencapsulation of Yerba mate extract (YME) have not been investigated yet. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the surface-active properties of WPC or WPC-hydrolysate may improve different properties of spray-dried microcapsules (such as physicochemical, structural, functional and morphological properties) compared to neat MD and GA. Thus, the objective of current study was to produce microcapsules loaded with YME by different carrier combinations. Effect of maltodextrin (MD), maltodextrin-gum Arabic (MD-GA), maltodextrin-whey protein concentrate (MD-WPC), and maltodextrin-hydrolyzed WPC (MD-HWPC) as encapsulating hydrocolloids was studied on physicochemical, functional, structural, antioxidant and morphological characteristics of the spray-dried YME. The type of carrier significantly affected spray dying yield. Enzymatic hydrolysis by improving the surface activity of WPC increased its efficiency as a carrier and produced particles with high production yield (about 68 %) and excellent physical, functional, hygroscopicity and flowability indices. Chemical structure characterization by FTIR indicated the placement of phenolic compounds of the extract in the carrier matrix. FE-SEM study showed that the microcapsules produced with polysaccharide-based carriers were completely wrinkled, whereas, the surface morphology of particles was improved when protein-based carriers were applied. Among the produced samples, the highest amount of TPC (3.26 mg GAE/mL), inhibition of DPPH (76.4 %), ABTS (88.1 %) and hydroxyl (78.1 %) free radicals were related to microencapsulated extract with MD-HWPC. The results of this research can be used to stabilize plant extracts and produce powders with appropriate physicochemical properties and biological activity.

Supporting nanoscale zero-valent iron onto shrimp shell-derived N-doped biochar to boost its reactivity and electron utilization for selenite sequestration. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 319:137979. [PMID: 36736475 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.137979] [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: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been widely used in the reductive removal of contaminants from water, yet it still fights against the inherent passive cover and the raise of medium pH. In this study, nZVI was supported onto a nitrogen-doped biochar (NBC) that was prepared by pyrolyzing shrimp shell for efficiently sequestrating aqueous selenite (Se(IV)). The resultant composite (NBC-nZVI) revealed a higher reactivity and electron utilization efficiency (EUE) than the bare nZVI in Se(IV) sequestration because of the positive charge, the buffering effect and the good conductivity of NBC. The kinetic rate and EUE of NBC-nZVI were increased by 143.4% and 15.3% compared to the bare nZVI, respectively, at initial pH of 3.0. The high removal capacity of 605.4 mg g-1 for NBC-nZVI was obtained at Se(IV) concentration of 1000 mg L-1, initial pH of 3.0, NBC-nZVI dosage of 1.0 g L-1 and contact time of 12 h. Moreover, NBC-nZVI exhibited a strong tolerance to solution pHs and coexisting compounds (e.g., humic acid) and could reduce the Se(IV) concentration from 5.0 mg L-1 to below the limit of drinking water (50 μg L-1) in real-world samples. This work exemplified a utilization of shrimp shell-derived NBC to simultaneously enhance the reactivity and EUE of nZVI for reductively removing contaminants.

Abstract
The highly efficient removal of heavy metals is one of the important factors to evaluate adsorbents. In our study, carbon@chitosan@montmorillonite nanosheet (C@CS@MTN) was successfully prepared via layer-by-layer assembly for the removal of Cu2+ and Cd2+ from solution. High-intensity ultrasound peeling technology was used to release Si-O tetrahedron and Al-O octahedron from montmorillonite in order to exert their optimal adsorption potential. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, an X-ray diffractometer, BET surface area measurement, and the inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry were adopted to investigate the morphology, functional groups, and adsorption capacity of C@CS@MTN. Batch experiment results indicated that both Cu2+ and Cd2+ were effectively removed from solution with the range of pH from 2 to 6. The removal ratio of Cu2+ and Cd2+ onto C@CS@MTN increased with the rise of reaction temperature and their maximum adsorption capacities reached 1108.8 mg·g-1 and 237.4 mg·g-1, respectively, under the condition of the reaction temperature 40 °C, the reaction time 4 h, and the pH = 6. The molecular simulation calculation indicated that there was an obvious electron transfer between Si-O tetrahedron and metal cations, but not for Al-O octahedron. In comparison to Al-O octahedron, the bonding of Cu-O and Cd-O caused the Si-O bond to be broken, resulting in the deconstruction of Si-O tetrahedron and their recombination via the junction of O atoms. It was exactly the deconstruction and recombination of endogenous active units that provide more sites for metal ion adsorption.

Abstract
In this work, convective-dispersive and pore volume and surface diffusion models have been used to analyze Pb(II) adsorption from an aqueous solution over a nanostructured γ-alumina adsorbent in a packed bed adsorber. The models encompassing partial differential equation and a linear algebraic equation coupled with isotherm have been simulated in gPROMS using the backward finite difference approach. The predicted breakthrough curves of Pb(II) adsorption concerning flow rate, initial metal concentration, and bed height were matched with the experimental data. The accuracy of model predictions was analyzed through statistical measures such as coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error, and chi-squared value. The simulation results also predicted the axial dispersion, distribution coefficient, mass transfer coefficient, pore volume, and surface diffusion coefficient, which are, otherwise, difficult to measure experimentally and, in turn, have been used to assess the mass transfer characteristics of continuous Pb(II) adsorption. Additionally, the values of breakthrough time, exhaustion time, adsorption column capacity, and mass transfer zone were determined as a function of flow rate, bed height, and initial metal concentration. Surface and pore volume diffusions (10-11-10-10 m2/s) apparently controlled the continuous adsorption process, with surface diffusion being dominant. The transport parameters evaluated in the current study could be beneficial for the large-scale Pb(II)/nanostructured γ-alumina adsorption system. As evident from the successful simulation, the developed gPROMS program can also be applied to other adsorbate/adsorbent systems with a slight modification concerning the operating parameters.

Abstract
In this study, a composite hydrogel with a low swelling ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and good U (VI) adsorption capacity was developed by incorporating a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/chitosan (P(AM-co-AA)/CS) composite. The CS chain, which contains NH2, reduces the swelling ratio of the hydrogel to 4.17 after 5 h of immersion in water. The coordinate bond between the MOF and carboxyl group on the surface of P(AM-co-AA)/CS improves the mechanical properties and stability of P(AM-co-AA)/CS. The U(VI) adsorption capacity of P(AM-co-AA)/CS/MOF-808 is 159.56 mg g-1 at C0 = 99.47 mg L-1 and pH = 8.0. The adsorption process is well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order model. The P(AM-co-AA)/CS/MOF-808 also exhibits good repeatability and stability after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The uranium adsorption capacity of the developed adsorbent after one month in natural seawater is 6.2 mg g-1, and the rate of uranium adsorption on the hydrogel is 0.21 mg g-1 day-1.

Abstract
Pomelo, Citrus maxima, peel was chemically modified with lime water and then loaded with Fe(III) to develop anion exchange sites for effective sequestration of As(V) from water. Biosorbent characterizations were done by using FTIR, SEM, XRD, EDX, and Boehm's titration. The batch biosorption studies were carried out at various pHs using modified and non-modified biosorbents and optimum biosorption of As(V) occurred at acidic pH (3.0-5.0) for both the biosorbents. A kinetic study showed a fast biosorption rate and obtained results fitted well with the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model. When isotherm data were modeled using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, the Langmuir isotherm model fit the data better and produced maximal As(V) biosorption capacities of 0.72 ± 03, 0.86 ± 06, and 0.95 ± 05 mmol/g at temperatures 293± 1K, 298± 1K and 303± 1K, respectively. Desorptionof As(V) was effective using 0.1 M NaOH in batch mode. Negative values of ΔG° for all temperatures with positive ΔH° confirmed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of As(V) biosorption. The existence of co-existing chloride (Cl-), nitrate (NO3 -), sodium (Na+), and calcium (Ca2+) showed insignificant interference whereas a high concentration of sulphate (SO4 2-) and phosphate (PO4 3-) significantly lowered As(V) biosorption percentage. Arsenic concentrations in actual arsenic polluted groundwater could be reduced to the WHO drinking water standard (10 μg/L) by using only 1 g/L of investigated Fe(III)-SPP. The dynamic biosorption of As(V) in a fixed bed system showed that Fe(III)-SPP was effective also in continuous mode and different design parameters for fixed bed system were determined using Thomas, Adams-Bohart, BDST, and Yoon-Nelson models. Therefore, from all of these results it is suggested that Fe(III)-SPP investigated in this study can be a potential, low cost and environmentally benign biosorbent material for an effective removal of trace amounts of arsenic from polluted water.

Abstract
To provide guidance for the selection of woody-activated carbon in the treatment of wastewater containing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), the adsorption tests on two varieties of commercial woody-activated carbon powder from different manufacturers were carried out. The physicochemical properties and structural characteristics of activated carbon were studied by using elemental, chemical, and instrumental analyses. The adsorption mechanism of Cr(VI) was discussed by investigating the factors affecting the removal of hexavalent chromium. The two kinds of woody-activated carbon have microporous and mesoporous structures. Commercial woody-activated carbon No.1 (ACI) has a more extensive specific surface area and a better-developed pore structure. While ACI exhibits a higher adsorption capability when the content of Cr(VI) is high, commercial woody-activated carbon No.2 (AC) can remove hexavalent chromium fast when the concentration is low. A rise in pH value is not helpful for the materials to remove Cr(VI) from solutions. For Cr(VI) removal, the optimum pH value is 2. The adsorption of Cr(VI) by AC and ACI followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal adsorption equation. The maximum adsorption value of Cr(VI) is 154.56 mg/g for AC and 241.55 mg/g for ACI. There is chemical adsorption during the Cr(VI) removal. A lot of Cr (Ⅲ) was formed by Cr(VI). The abundance of pores and the reducing ability of the materials are essential for the removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract
Owing to the toxicity and difficulty in degradation, how to the effective separation for the residual dyes in the aqueous solution is still an issue with great challenge in the area of environmental protection. Now, to high-efficiency removal of organic dyes from the aqueous solution, we design a unique AlOOH/CoFe2O4 adsorbent with porous CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded on the AlOOH fibers using a simple hydrothermal technique and calcination process. The structural properties and surface characteristics of the AlOOH/CoFe2O4 composites are detailedly analyzed by XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM and SEM. Here, the high SBET and specific porous structure are beneficial to improve the adsorption performance of AlOOH/CoFe2O4 adsorbents. Especially, when the molar ratio of AlOOH to CoFe2O4 in the AlOOH/CoFe2O4 fibers is 1:1, an optimal performance on adsorbing anionic Congo red (CR) and cationic methyl green (MG) dyes can be obtained at pH = 6.29, where the corresponding maximum adsorption capacities reach up to 565.0 and 423.7 mg g-1, respectively. Factors leading to the change in the ability of adsorbing CR and MG dyes are systematically discussed, including contact time, temperature, initial concentrations, and pH values of the solutions. Meanwhile, the uptake of CR and MG dyes can best conform to Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics. The thermodynamic analysis verifies that the dye adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, from the point view of practical application, the good reusability further makes the as-synthesized magnetic AlOOH/CoFe2O4 composite be a perfect adsorbent with efficiently removing both anionic and cationic dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In this work, performance of laboratory-synthesized dolochar has been investigated for adsorption of Cd2+ ions in a large-scale process with the application of Aspen Adsorption. Moreover, the optimum values of the operating parameters (namely, flow rate, bed height, and inlet metal ion concentration) that would result into maximum amount of cadmium ion adsorption (high exhaustion capacity) in minimum time (less exhaustion time) for a fixed mass of dolochar have been calculated via the application of response surface methodology. It was found that, at optimum values of bed height (3.48 m), flow rate (76.31 m3/day), and inlet concentration (10 ppm), the optimized value of exhaustion capacity and exhaustion time for cadmium ion adsorption in dolochar packed bed is equal to 1.85 mg/g and 11.39 h, respectively. The validity of these simulation experiments can be proven by the fact that the obtained exhaustion capacity of dolochar packed bed always remained in close proximity of the experimentally obtained value of adsorption capacity of the dolochar in batch process mode (equal to 2.1 mg/g).

Abstract
Activated carbon has been widespread applied in the removal of pollutants in wastewater. However, many biomass-derived activated carbon suffer from the challenge of controllable pore size regulation, hindering their efficient adsorption of pollutants. Herein, bamboo-derived activated carbon aerogel (BACA) has been successfully prepared through KOH high-temperature activation of cellulose aerogel which was prepared using cellulose extracted from bamboo. Bamboo cellulose aerogel provides sufficient reaction sites for KOH, which is conducive to the formation of a mass of mesoporous structures on the pore walls of the activated carbon aerogel. The optimal BACA adsorbent shows high specific surface area (2503.80 m2/g), and maximum adsorption capability for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) reaches 863.8 mg/g at 30 ℃. The removal efficiencies of TCH are 100% and 98.4% at 40 ℃ when the initial concentrations are 500 and 700 mg/L, respectively. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm indicate that the adsorption of BACA for TCH is monolayer adsorption based on chemical adsorption. Spontaneous and endothermic adsorption processes are proved by adsorption thermodynamic studies. Additionally, coexisting ions have insignificant effect on TCH adsorption, and the BACA sample displays excellent adsorption property for five reuse cycles with a removal efficiency of 80.95%, indicating the outstanding adsorption capacity of BACA in practical application. The excellent adsorption performance provides BACA with a promising perspective to remove TCH from wastewater, and the prepared method of BACA can be widely extended to other biomass materials.

Abstract
AIMS Beads containing heat-inactivated bacterial biomaterial (BBBs) were prepared for removal of cypermethrin (CPM) and the conditions for this removal were evaluated and optimized via single-factor coupled orthogonal experiments based on five factors. The adsorption characteristics of BBBs and the binding mechanism were then explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Results showed that the adsorption rate of CPM could reach 98% with beads prepared under optimized conditions: equal volumes of Lactobacillus cell debris derived from 1×1011 CFU; 2% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and 2.5% activated carbon concentration, were mixed to give mixture TM, and this and SA, was mixed 1:4 with sodium alginate (SA) and beads were prepared using a 26-Gauge needle). The best adsorption conditions were initial CPM concentration of 10 mg l-1, incubation time of 24 h, and rotational speed of 180 rpm. BBBs have a well-formed structure and abundant surface functional groups, such as -COOH, -OH, -NH, -CH, -CO, -C=C. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic, and it was also a Freundlich monolayer adsorption, and the calculated maximum adsorption capacity was 9.69 mg g-1 under optimized conditions. CONCLUSIONS BBBs showed the highest CPM removal capacity and a good tolerance ability. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our results provided a theoretical foundation for developing an adsorbent with heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) RS60 for removing CPM in wastewater or drinks.

Abstract
The cadmium-contaminated water body is a worldwide concern for the environment and toxic to human beings and the removal of cadmium ions from drinking and groundwater sustainably and cost-effectively is important. A novel nano-biocomposite was obtained by impregnating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) within kenaf-based activated carbon (KAC) in the presence of chitosan matrix (CS) by a simple, facile photoirradiation method. The nano-biocomposite (CS-KAC-Ag) was characterized by an environmental scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ESEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) method. A Box−Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the adsorption of Cd2+. It was found that 95.1% of Cd2+ (10 mg L−1) was eliminated at pH 9, contact time of 120 min, and adsorbent dosage of 20 mg, respectively. The adsorption of Cd2+ by CS-KAC-Ag is also in agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with an R2 (coefficient of determination) factor greater than 99%. The lab data were also corroborated by tests conducted using water samples collected from mining sites in Mexico. Along with Cd2+, the CS-KAC-Ag exhibited superior removal efficiency towards Cr6+ (91.7%) > Ni2+ (84.4%) > Co2+ (80.5%) at pH 6.5 and 0.2 g L−1 dose of the nano-adsorbent. Moreover, the adsorbent was regenerated, and the adsorption capacity remained unaltered after five successive cycles. The results showed that synthesized CS-KAC-Ag was a biocompatible and versatile porous filtering material for the decontamination of different toxic metal ions.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to banana waste-derived activated carbon (BWAC) make a high pore surface area was prepared and composited with Fe3O4 via a facile hydrothermal method. Various physiochemical characteristics of the prepared samples were evaluated using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, Raman Spectroscopy and XPS analysis. In addition, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses were performed to determine the electrochemical properties of the prepared samples. The Fe3O4/BWAC sample showed a higher capacitance (285 F g-1) than BWAC at the same scan rate of 10 mV s-1. The capacitive deionization (CDI) cell configuration was varied, and its electro-sorption and defluoridization efficiencies were analyzed during the lead (Pb2+) removal 90%. An asymmetric combination of electrodes in the CDI cell exhibited better heavy metal removal performance, possibly due to the synergistic effect of the high surface area and the balance between the active adsorption site and the overlapping effect of the EDL. As a result, Fe3O4/BWAC could be a potential resource for supercapacitors and CDI electrodes, and the novel Fe3O4/BWAC nanocomposites outstanding performance suggests that they could be helpful for future energy storage and environmental applications.

Abstract
Sulfidated nano zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) was used to remove various pollutants from wastewater. However, the instability, poor dispersibility, and low electron transfer efficiency of S-nZVI limit its application. Herein, graphene oxide supported sulfidated nano zero-valent iron (S-nZVI@GO) was successfully synthesized using graphene oxide (GO) as a carrier. The properties of S-nZVI@GO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy coupled to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) concerning the surface morphology, crystalline structure, and elemental components. S-nZVI@GO displayed an excellent capacity for antimony (Sb) removal under aerobic conditions (96.7%), with a high adsorption capacity (Qmax = 311.75 mg/g). It maintained a high removal rate (over 90%) during a wide pH range (3-9). More importantly, S-nZVI@GO activated the molecular oxygen in water via a single-electron pathway to produce •O2- and H2O2, and then oxidized trivalent antimony (Sb(III)) to pentavalent antimony (Sb(V)) and further separated it by synergistic adsorption and co-precipitation. Therefore, S-nZVI@GO shows excellent potential for Sb contamination remediation.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:ma15228169.

Abstract
Methylene blue (MB) is widely used as a test material in photodynamic therapy and photocatalysis. These applications require an accurate determination of the MB concentration as well as the factors affecting the temporal evolution of the MB concentration. Optical absorbance is the most common method used to estimate MB concentration. This paper presents a detailed study of the dependence of the optical absorbance of aqueous methylene blue (MB) solutions in a concentration range of 0.5 to 10 mg·L-1. The nonlinear behavior of optical absorbance as a function of MB concentration is described for the first time. A sharp change in optical absorption is observed in the range of MB concentrations from 3.33 to 4.00 mg·L-1. Based on the analysis of the absorption spectra, it is concluded that this is due to the formation of MB dimers and trimers in the specific concentration range. For the first time, a strong, thermally induced discoloration effect of the MB solution under the influence of visible and sunlight was revealed: the simultaneous illumination and heating of MB solutions from 20 to 80 °C leads to a twofold decrease in the MB concentration in the solution. Exposure to sunlight for 120 min at a temperature of 80 °C led to the discoloration of the MB solution by more than 80%. The thermally induced discoloration of MB solutions should be considered in photocatalytic experiments when tested solutions are not thermally stabilized and heated due to irradiation. We discuss whether MB is a suitable test material for photocatalytic experiments and consider this using the example of a new photocatalytic material-boron oxynitride (BNOx) nanoparticles-with 4.2 and 6.5 at.% of oxygen. It is shown that discoloration is a complex process and includes the following mechanisms: thermally induced MB photodegradation, MB absorption on BNOx NPs, self-sensitizing MB photooxidation, and photocatalytic MB degradation. Careful consideration of all these processes makes it possible to determine the photocatalytic contribution to the discoloration process when using MB as a test material. The photocatalytic activity of BNOx NPs containing 4.2 and 6.5 at.% of oxygen, estimated at ~440 μmol·g-1·h-1. The obtained results are discussed based on the results of DFT calculations considering the effect of MB sorption on its self-sensitizing photooxidation activity. A DFT analysis of the MB sorption capacity with BNOx NPs shows that surface oxygen defects prevent the sorption of MB molecules due to their planar orientation over the BNOx surface. To enhance the sorption capacity, surface oxygen defects should be eliminated.

Abstract
A novel anionic nanostructured cellulose derivate was prepared through the coupling of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers with 3-aminopropyl sulfonic acid (3-APSA). 3-APSA grafting was variously investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, confirming a high reaction degree. The surface morphology investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a more uniform organization of the nanofibers after the 3-APSA coupling, with improvements in terms of fiber packing and pore interconnectivity. This peculiar morphology contributes to improving methylene blue (MB) adsorption and removal efficiency at different operating conditions (pH, initial time, and initial concentration). The results indicated a maximum adsorption capacity of 526 mg/g in the case of 3-APSA grafted nanofibers, over 30% more than that of non-grafted ones (370 mg/g), which confirm a relevant effect of chemical modification on the adsorbent properties of cellulose nanofibers. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the current adsorbents match with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. This study suggests the use of chemical grafting via 3-APSA is a reliable and facile post-treatment to design bio-sustainable and reusable nanofibers to be used as high-performance adsorbent materials in water pollutant remediation.

Abstract
Copolymer of acrylic acid (AA) and itaconic acid (IA) grafted onto sodium carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel (CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)) was successfully synthesized as an adsorbent to remove safranin-O from wastewater. The swelling and removal efficiencies of CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA) were enhanced by increasing IA/AA molar ratio as well as by incorporation of montmorillonite clay nano-sheets (MMT). The surface area of MMT, CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA), and CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA) samples was 15.632, 0.61452, and 0.66584 m2/g, respectively, indicating the effectiveness of MMT nano-sheets in improving hydrogel surface area. The maximum removal efficiency of CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)/MMT under optimum conditions i.e., pH of 8, initial concentration of 10 mg/L, adsorbent dose of 2 g/L, and contact time of 40 min was ascertained 99.78% using a response surface methodology-central composite design (RSM-CCD). Pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models giving the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 18.5185 mg/g and 19.1205 mg/g for CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA) and CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)/MMT samples, respectively are the best-fitted models for kinetic and equilibrium data. Thermodynamically, safranin-O decontamination was spontaneous, exothermic, and entropy decreasing. Moreover, ad (de)sorption behavior study showed that CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)/MMT performance was not changed after multiple recovery steps. Therefore, CMC-g-poly (AA-co-IA)/MMT was considered as a highly potential adsorbent for safranin-O removal from wastewater.

[PMID: 35248568 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, banana peel waste was used as a suitable source for biochar production. The banana peel biochar (BPB) was modified using Fe3O4 magnetic and ZIF-67 nanoparticles. The modification of the BPB surface (4.70 m2/g) with Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/ZIF-67 significantly increased the specific surface of the nanocomposites (BPB/Fe3O4: 78.83 m2/g, and BPB/Fe3O4/ZIF-67: 1212.40 m2/g). The effect of pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose, and concentration of Cd2+ on the efficiency of the Cd2+ adsorption was explored. Maximum adsorption efficiencies for BPB (97.76%), BPB/Fe3O4 (97.52%), and BPB/Fe3O4/ZIF-67 (99.14%) were obtained at pH 6, Cd2+ concentration of 10 mg/L, times of 80 min, 50 min, and 40 min, and adsorbent doses of 2 g/L, 1.5 g/L, and 1 g/L, respectively. Thermodynamic measurements indicated that the process is spontaneous and exothermic. The maximum capacity of Cd2+ adsorption using BPB, BPB/Fe3O4, and BPB/Fe3O4/ZIF-67 were obtained 20.63 mg/g, 30.33 mg/g, and 50.78 mg/g, respectively. The Cd2+ adsorption using magnetic nanocomposites followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The results showed that studied adsorbents especially BPB/Fe3O4/ZIF-67 have a good ability to adsorb-desorb Cd2+ and clean an effluent containing pollutants.

Abstract
Considerable concern exists regarding water contamination by various pollutants, such as conventional pollutants (e.g., heavy metals and organics) and emerging micropollutants (e.g., consumer care products and interfering endocrine-related compounds). Currently, academics are continuously exploring sustainability-related materials and technologies to remove contaminants from wastewater. Magnetic starch-based adsorbents (MSAs) can combine the advantages of starch and magnetic nanoparticles, which exhibit unique critical features such as availability, cost-effectiveness, size, shape, crystallinity, magnetic properties, stability, adsorption properties, and excellent surface properties. However, limited reviews on MSAs' preparations, characterizations, applications, and adsorption mechanisms could be available nowadays. Hence, this review not only focuses on their activation and preparation methods, including physical (e.g., mechanical activation treatment, microwave radiation treatment, sonication, and extrusion), chemical (e.g., grafting, cross-linking, oxidation and esterification), and enzymatic modifications to enhance their adsorption properties, but also offers an all-round state-of-the-art analysis of the full range of its characterization methods, the adsorption of various contaminants, and the underlying adsorption mechanisms. Eventually, this review focuses on the recycling and reclamation performance and highlights the main gaps in the areas where further studies are warranted. We hope that this review will spark an interdisciplinary discussion and bring about a revolution in the applications of MSAs.

Development of new magnetic adsorbent of walnut shell ash/starch/Fe 3O 4 for effective copper ions removal: Treatment of groundwater samples. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 296:133978. [PMID: 35176297 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.133978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The goal of this investigation was to develop a new magnetic nanocomposite of walnut shell ash (WSA)/starch/Fe3O4 to remove Cu (II) present in groundwater samples. The desired nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by the chemical deposition method. The specific active surface area for pristine WSA and WSA/starch/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites was determined to be 8.1 and 52.6 m2/g, respectively. A central composite design for the response surface method was utilized to study the influence of pH, adsorbent quantity, initial content of Cu (II), temperature, and contact time. This method showed the success of the model to design process variables and to estimate the appropriate response. The P- and F-value determined for the quadratic polynomial model showed the significance and accuracy of the proposed model in examining experimental and predicted data with R2 and Adj.R2 of 0.994 and 0.991, respectively. The Cu adsorption onto WSA and WSA/starch/Fe3O4 obeyed the Freundlich and Langmuir models, respectively. The highest Cu (II) sorption capacity of 29.0 and 45.4 mg/g was attained for WSA and WSA/starch/Fe3O4, respectively. The free energy of Gibbs had a negative value at 25-45 °C indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous. Also, negative ΔH values for copper adsorption showed that the processes are exothermic. The kinetic adsorption data for WSA and WSA/starch/Fe3O4 followed the pseudo-second order (PSO) model. The ability of the composite adsorbent to remove copper from three groundwater samples showed that it could be reused at least 3 times with appropriate efficiency, depending on the water quality.

Abstract
In the current study, activated carbon oak wood (ACOW600) and modified activated carbon using ZnO (ACOW600/ZnO) and Fe3O4 (ACOW600/ZnO/Fe3O4) nanoparticles were used to remove methyl violet 2B dye (MV2B) from aqueous solutions. ACOW was synthesized at different temperatures (300-700 °C), and then the maximum MV2B removal efficiency (92.76 %) was achieved using ACOW synthesized at 600 °C. The morphology and characteristics of ACOW600, ACOW600/ZnO, and ACOW600/ZnO/Fe3O4 were studied using surface analyzes. According to the results, the adsorbents indicated a high ability to absorb MV2B from liquid solution, and their kinetic behavior follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic. In addition, the equilibrium study revealed that the MV2B uptake by the ACOW600/ZnO/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite followed the Freundlich model. In contrast, the Langmuir model described the MV2B adsorption process using ACOW600 and ACOW600/ZnO. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of MV2B using ACOW600, ACOW600/ZnO, and ACOW600/ZnO/Fe3O4 was determined 26.16 mg g-1, 37.05 mg g-1, and 48.59 mg g-1, respectively, indicating that modification of ACOW600 led to improve its performance in removing MV2B. The enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔG), and Gibbs free energy (ΔS) parameters revealed that the decontamination of MV2B using the studied adsorbents was exothermic and spontaneous. Also, random interactions of MV2B molecules and adsorbent surfaces were reduced during the adsorption process. Textile wastewater was significantly treated by ACOW600, ACOW600/ZnO, and ACOW600/ZnO/Fe3O4 adsorbents. The recycling of the adsorbents was demonstrated that the investigated adsorbents could be re-utilized many times in the MV2B removal process.

Abstract
Biosorption is a very effective technique to eliminate the heavy metals present in the wastewater that utilize nongrowing biomass. The adsorption ability of the Periyakulam-2 (PKM-2) variety of Moringa Oleifera leaves (MOLs) to eliminate Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from an aqueous solution was examined in this work. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller methods were used to characterize the PKM-2 variety of MOLs. The set of variables consists of the metal ion initial concentration, a dosage of the adsorbent, and pH were optimized with the help of the response surface methodology to get maximum metal removal efficiency of lead and zinc metals using the PKM-2 MOL biosorbent. A maximum Pb(II) removal of 95.6% was obtained under the condition of initial concentration of metal ions 38 mg/L, a dosage of the adsorbent 1.5 g, and pH 4.7, and a maximum zinc removal of 89.35% was obtained under the condition of initial concentration of metal ions 70 mg/L, a dosage of the adsorbent 0.6 g, and pH 3.2. The presence of lead and zinc ions on the biosorbent surface and the functional groups involved in the adsorption process were revealed using EDX and FTIR analysis, respectively. The adsorption data were evaluated by employing different isotherm and kinetic models. Among the isotherm models, Langmuir's isotherm showed that the best fit and maximum adsorption capacities are 51.71 and 38.50 mg/g for lead and zinc, respectively. Kinetic studies showed accordance with the pseudo-second-order model to lead and zinc metal adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed (ΔG° < 0, ΔH° < 0, and ΔS° > 0) that the sorption mechanism is physisorption, exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable for adsorption. The results from this study show that the MOL of the PKM-2 type is a promising alternative for an ecofriendly, low-cost biosorbent that can effectively remove lead and zinc metals from aqueous solutions.
