[PMID: 36853538 PMCID: PMC10119267 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-25644-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Natural zeolite is organically modified with the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and employed as a dual-function material for simultaneous adsorption of Cs+ cations and HCrO4- anions from aqueous solutions. Unmodified and modified zeolites are characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that CTAB-zeolite had the efficiency to simultaneously adsorb the concerned species in the pH range 2.5-4.2. The kinetic data showed that 90 and 300 min for Cs(I) and Cr(VI), respectively, were sufficient to attain equilibrium and the data are well-fitted by the double-exponential kinetic model. Of the studied adsorption isotherm models, Redlich-Peterson was the best one for describing the equilibrium adsorption isotherms. Values of ∆H°, ∆S°, and ∆G° for the present adsorption processes are estimated. CTAB-zeolite exhibited adsorption capacities of 0.713 and 1.216 mmol/g for Cs(I) and Cr(VI), respectively, which are comparable with the data reported in the literature. The adsorption mechanism of the concerned (radio)toxicants is proposed.

Abstract
Abstract
Simultaneous removal of radiocobalt and manganese by adsorption onto polyacrylonitrile/hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide/potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (PAN/HDTMA/KCuHCF) composite was studied. The synthesized composite was characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influence of the solution pH was studied in the range 1.5–7.8 and the results showed the effectiveness of the synthesized composite for simultaneous adsorption of radiocobalt and manganese in the pH range 2.5–6 at an adsorbent mass of 4 g/L. Adsorption kinetic data of manganese at the studied concentrations were best fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the diffusion study showed that the adsorption process was controlled by film diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔGo, ΔHo and ΔSo) were estimated and the results indicated that adsorption processes of the concerned (radio)toxicants were spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Of the studied isotherm models, Freundlich and Langmuir were the best ones for describing the adsorption isotherm data of radiocobalt and manganese, respectively. The adsorption capacity of PAN/HDTMA/KCuHCF was found to be 23.629 (for radiocobalt) and 62.854 (for manganese). Desorption of Radiocobalt and manganese loaded onto PAN/HDTMA/KCuHCF composite was studied using various desorbing agents at different concentrations.

Abstract
Iron tailings are fine, stable and complex materials, which are mainly composed of minerals and metal oxides. Residual silicon in iron tailings can be used to prepare mesoporous silica materials applied to energy storage, environmental protection and other fields. This paper reported a novel synthesis strategy from iron tailings to high-surface area hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica materials in an innovative non-hydrothermal system at room temperature. A pretreatment process involving acid leaching and hydrothermal alkaline reaction was vital to the successful utilization of iron tailings. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data suggested that about 95% of the silicon of iron tailings changed to the silicate as a silicon source. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The SAXRD patterns of mesoporous silica materials exhibited an intense (100) diffraction peak and two weak (110, 200) diffraction peaks, corresponding to characteristic of the ordered mesoporous lattice. TEM images further confirmed the hexagonally ordered porous structure of mesoporous silica materials. The WAXRD patterns and 29Si MAS NMR spectra of the samples indicated that mesoporous silica materials were composed of amorphous SiO2. The obtained mesoporous silica materials had a high surface area of 1915 m2/g and pore volume of 1.32 cm3/g. Furthermore, the evolution from iron tailings to mesoporous silica materials was elucidated and a proposed synthesis mechanism was discussed. Collectively, these results provided an insight into efficient recycling of iron tailings and the production of advanced functional materials from solid waste.

One-pot synthesis of sodium lauryl sulfate-loaded polyacrylonitrile solid-phase extractor for investigating the adsorption behavior of radioactive strontium(II) from aqueous solutions. Appl Radiat Isot 2020; 163:109198. [PMID: 32561040 DOI: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2020.109198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2019] [Revised: 01/18/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Sodium lauryl sulfate-loaded polyacrylonitrile (SLSLPAN) was synthesized in the present investigation using an in-situ one step process through gamma radiation-induced polymerization. The structure, composition, surface area and pore size and volume of the employed adsorbent were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. Adsorption of radioactive strontium(II) onto SLSLPAN was studied in the pH range 3-13. Batch kinetic data showed that the equilibrium was attained at 840 min and the pseudo-first-order was the best kinetic model for describing the kinetic data of the present adsorption process. The diffusion of strontium(II) into SLSLPAN was deeply studied using four diffusion models, namely, Bangham, Boyd, Weber-Morris and Mathewas-Weber models. Two-parameter (Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin) and three-parameter (Redlich-Peterson, Toth and Generalized) isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data of strontium(II) onto SLSLPAN. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Generalized isotherm model is found to be 0.391 mmol strontium(II) per gram of SLSLPAN. The estimated mean free energy (E = 2.151 kJ/mol) indicated that strontium(II) radionuclides were physically adsorbed onto SLSLPAN. The value of enthalpy change (ΔHo = 35.325 kJ/mol) and those of free energy change (ΔGo = -15.278, -16.948, -18.619 and -20.288 at 303, 313, 323 and 333 K, respectively) confirmed that adsorption of strontium(II) radionuclides on SLSLPAN was endothermic and spontaneous process.

Abstract
Novel green nanocomposite from mesoporous MCM-41 and Co3O4 was synthesized from rice husk based silica gel and using the green extract of Peach leaves as reducing reagent. The composite was labeled as RH-MCM-41/Co3O4 and characterized by different techniques as green photocatalyst in the degradation of Acephate pesticide under visible light illumination. The composite showed well developed spherical MCM-41 particles decorated by nano Co3O4 nanoparticles with stunning surface area and low bandgap energy (1.51 eV). The composite displayed superior photocatalytic activities in the oxidation of Acephate which reflected in a complete degradation of different concentrations of it after 40 min (50 mg/L), 60 min (100 mg/L), 100 min (150 mg/L) and 140 min (200 mg/L) using 0.25 g of the composite. The complete removal of the present TOC for treatment of 100 mg/L acephate was achieved using 0.25 g after 70 min reflecting the formation of intermediate compounds during the oxidation steps. The reported intermediate compounds are CH3C(O)NH2, CH3O(CH3S)P(O)NH2, (CH3O)2P(O)SCH3, CH3OP(O)(OH)2, CH3SS(O)2CH3, and (COOH)2. All the formed intermediate compounds were degraded under the visible light photocatalytic activity of RH-MCM-41/Co3O4 into NO3-, SO42-, PO43-, and CO2 as final products.

Abstract
Pieces of glass as solid wastes were recycled in the synthesis of highly order MCM-41 that decorated by green fabricated Co3O4 nanoparticles using the green extract of green tea leaves forming novel green nano-composite. The synthetic Co3O4/MCM-41 exhibit high surface area, low bandgap energy (1.63 eV), and typical spherical morphology decorated by Co3O4 nanoparticles. The composite was evaluated as green photocatalyst in effective oxidation of methyl parathion pesticide in the presence of a visible light source. The degradation results revealed complete removal of 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L after 60 min and 90 min, respectively using 0.25 of the catalyst at pH 8. The detection of the TOC in the treated methyl parathion solution gives strong indications about the formation of organic intermediate compounds during the oxidation steps. The main detected intermediate compound are C6H5OH(NO2), C6H5OH, (CH3O)3P(S), C6H4(OH)2, C6H3(OH)3, C6H4(NH2)OP(O)(OCH3)2, (CH3O)2P(O)OH, (CH2)2C(OH)OH(CHO)OC(O), and HO2C(CH2)2C(O)CHO. The detected intermediate compounds converted into SO42-, PO43-, NO3-, and CO2 under the extensive photocatalytic of them over Co3O4/MCM-41. The oxidizing species trapping test verified the controlling of the methyl parathion degradation pathway by the hydroxyl radicals. Finally, the composite showed significant reusability properties and applied five times in the oxidation of methyl parathion with considerable degradation percentages.
