ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:27766-27788. [PMID: 38973859 PMCID: PMC11223156 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Water remediation, acknowledged as a significant scientific topic, guarantees the safety of drinking water, considering the diverse range of pollutants that can contaminate it. Among these pollutants, arsenic stands out as a particularly severe threat to human health, significantly compromising the overall quality of life. Despite widespread awareness of the harmful effects of arsenic poisoning, there remains a scarcity of literature on the utilization of biobased polymers as sustainable alternatives for comprehensive arsenic removal in practical concern. Cellulose and chitosan, two of the most prevalent biopolymers in nature, provide a wide range of potential benefits in cutting-edge industries, including water remediation. Nanocomposites derived from cellulose and chitosan offer numerous advantages over their larger equivalents, including high chelating properties, cost-effective production, strength, integrity during usage, and the potential to close the recycling loop. Within the sphere of arsenic remediation, this Review outlines the selection criteria for novel cellulose/chitosan-nanocomposites, such as scalability in synthesis, complete arsenic removal, and recyclability for technical significance. Especially, it aims to give an overview of the historical development of research in cellulose and chitosan, techniques for enhancing their performance, the current state of the art of the field, and the mechanisms underlying the adsorption of arsenic using cellulose/chitosan nanocomposites. Additionally, it extensively discusses the impact of shape and size on adsorbent efficiency, highlighting the crucial role of physical characteristics in optimizing performance for practical applications. Furthermore, this Review addresses regeneration, reuse, and future prospects for chitosan/cellulose-nanocomposites, which bear practical relevance. Therefore, this Review underscores the significant research gap and offers insights into refining the structural features of adsorbents to improve total inorganic arsenic removal, thereby facilitating the transition of green-material-based technology into operational use.

Efficient Immobilization of heavy metals using newly synthesized magnetic nanoparticles and some bacteria in a multi-metal contaminated soil.

Abstract
Simultaneous application of modified Fe3O4 with biological treatments in remediating multi-metal polluted soils, has rarely been investigated. Thus, a pioneering approach towards sustainable environmental remediation strategies is crucial. In this study, we aimed to improve the efficiency of Fe3O4 as adsorbents for heavy metals (HMs) by applying protective coatings. We synthesized core-shell magnetite nanoparticles coated with modified nanocellulose, nanohydrochar, and nanobiochar, and investigated their effectiveness in conjunction with bacteria (Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus megaterium) for remediating a multi-metal contamination soil. The results showed that the coatings significantly enhanced the immobilization of heavy metals in the soil, even at low doses (0.5%). The coating of nanocellulose had the highest efficiency in stabilizing metals due to the greater variety of surface functional groups and higher specific surface area (63.86 m2 g-1) than the other two coatings. Interestingly, uncoated Fe3O4 had lower performance (113.6 m2 g-1) due to their susceptibility to deformation and oxidation. The use of bacteria as a biological treatment led to an increase in the stabilization of metals in soil. In fact, Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus megaterium increased immobilization of HMs in soil successfully because of extracellular polymeric substances and intensive negative charges. Analysis of metal concentrations in plants revealed that Ni and Zn accumulated in the roots, while Pb and Cd were transferred from the roots to the shoots. Treatment Fe3O4 coated with modified nanocellulose at rates of 0.5 and 1% along with Pseudomonas putida showed the highest effect in stabilizing metals. Application of coated Fe3O4 for in-situ immobilization of HMs in contamination soils is recommendable due to their high metal stabilization efficiency and suitability to apply in large quantities.

Abstract
This study reviews the concept, classifications, and techniques involved in the synthesis of nanocomposites. The environmental and health implications of nanoparticles and composite materials were detailed, as well as the applications of nanocomposites in water remediation, antibacterial application, and printed circuit boards. The study gave insights into the challenges of water pollution treatment and provided a broad list of nanocomposites that have been explored for water remediation. Moreover, the emergence of multi-drug resistance to many antibiotics has made current antibiotics inadequate in the treatment of disease. This has engineered the development of alternative strategies in the drug industries for the production of effective therapeutic agents, comprising nanocomposites with antibacterial agents. The new therapeutic agents known as nanoantibiotics are more efficient and have paved the way to handle the challenges of antibiotic resistance. In printed circuit boards, nanocomposites have shown promising applications because of their distinct mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics. The uniqueness of the write-up is that it provides a broad explanation of the concept, synthesis, application, toxicity, and harmful effects of nanocomposites. Thus, it will provide all-inclusive awareness to readers to identify research gaps and motivate researchers to synthesize novel nanocomposites for use in various fields.

Abstract
Recently, biomass-based materials have attracted increasing attention because of their advantages of low cost, environment-friendly and nonpollution. Herein, the feasibility of using corn stalk biomass fiber (CF) and Fe3O4 embedded chitosan (CS) as a novel biomass-based adsorbent (CFS) to remove chloramphenicol (CAPC) from aqueous solution. Structure of CFS was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and zeta potential techniques. The effects of solution pH, adsorption time and ion strength on the adsorption capacity were examined. Adsorption isotherms obtained from batch experiments were better fitted by Langmuir model compared with Freundlich model, Dubinin–Radushkevich model and Temkin model. Adsorption kinetic data matched well to the pseudo-second order kinetic model. CAPC adsorption was endothermic, spontaneous, and entropy-increasing nature on CFS. In addition, the CFS could be separated by an external magnetic field, recycled, and reused without any significant loss in the adsorption capacity of CAPC. Based on these excellent performances, there is potential that CFS can be considered as a proficient and economically suitable material for the CAPC removal from the water environment.

Abstract
Metal(loid) oxyanions in groundwater, surface water, and wastewater can have harmful effects on human or ecological health due to their high toxicity, mobility, and lack of degradation. In recent years, the removal of metal(loid) oxyanions using zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been the subject of many studies, but the full scope of this literature has not been systematically reviewed. The main elements that form metal(loid) oxyanions under environmental conditions are Cr(VI), As(V and III), Sb(V and III), Tc(VII), Re(VII), Mo(VI), V(V), etc. The removal mechanisms of metal(loid) oxyanions by ZVI may involve redox reactions, adsorption, precipitation, and coprecipitation, usually with one of these mechanisms being the main reaction pathway and the other playing auxiliary roles. However, the removal mechanisms are coupled to the reactions involved in corrosion of Fe(0) and reaction conditions. The layer of iron oxyhydroxides that forms on ZVI during corrosion mediates the sequestration of metal(loid) oxyanions. This review summarizes most of the currently available data on mechanisms and performance (e.g., kinetics) of removal of the most widely studies metal(loid) oxyanion contaminants (Cr, As, Sb) by different types of ZVI typically used in wastewater treatment, as well as ZVI that has been sulfidated or combination with catalytic bimetals.

Abstract
A ternary CdS/AgBr/Ag3PO4 coupled system was prepared, characterized by different techniques, and used for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB). The hexagonal (wurtzite) CdS, the cubic AgBr, and the Ag3PO4 body-centered cubic crystallite phases were detected by XRD patterns. The Scherer equation showed the crystallite sizes of 3, 26.3, 28, and 27.9 nm for CdS, Ag3PO4, AgBr NPs, and the ternary CdS/AgBr/Ag3PO4 sample, while the Williamson-Hall model got the values of 1.8, 46.2, 62.12, and 92.44 nm, respectively. The diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) showed that the ternary catalyst could absorb the whole range of visible light photons. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra significantly depended on the solvent nature, and the sharp scattering peaks appeared in the water, while these were absent in acetone as solvent. The ternary catalyst also showed a lower PL intensity and a higher photocatalytic activity concerning the individual NPs. When the moles of CdS were three times greater than the other components, the resulted ternary catalyst showed the lowest PL intensity and the highest degradation activity. The MB mineralization was also studied by the COD technique and compared with MB photodegradation kinetically. The MB photodegradation rate constant of about 0.0276 min-1 (correspond to t1/2 25.1 min) was 1.75 times greater than the MB mineralization rate constant (about 0.0158 min-1 correspond to t1/2 value of 43.9 min).

Abstract
Existence of human beings in this world require a cleaner environment, in which, water is the main requirement for living. Owing to the considerable development in civilisation and considerable population explosion, an increase in the contamination of natural water resources by means of non-biodegradable contaminants like heavy metals is observed thereby increasing the need for treatment of water before usage. Despite the existence of specific limits for disposal of heavy metals in water resources, studies still show high contamination of heavy metals in all these water resources. This review provides a brief note on sources and toxicity of different heavy metals in various oxidation states, their effects as well as highlights the numerous available and advanced techniques for heavy metals removal. Of all techniques adsorption is found to be beneficial as it doesn't inculcate any secondary pollutants to the environment. Additionally, this article has investigated the advantages of polymer nanocomposites in adsorption and mainly focused on biopolymer chitosan owing to its abundance in natural environment. The cleaner techniques for the extraction of chitosan and its functionalisation using different types of nanofillers are comprehensively discussed in this review. This article suggests a better alternative for conventional adsorbents as well as aids in remediation of wastes.

Abstract
The CdS/g-C3N4 hybrid was prepared mechanically and characterized by different techniques including XRD, SEM, DRS, FTIR, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The SEM study showed that CdS nanoparticles (NPs) have been randomly dispersed on the surface of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). The CV results showed better charge carriers' transfer for the modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) by the CdS/g-C3N4 system concerning the modified CPE by single CdS or g-C3N4 modifier. The band gap (Bg) energies of 1.7, 2.7, and 1.9 eV were obtained from DRS results for CdS, g-C3N4, and CdS/g-C3N4 systems, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the single and hybrid systems was tested towards methyl orange (MO). The degradation extents of 16%, 22%, and 34% were respectively obtained for CdS NPs, g-C3N4, and CdS/g-C3N4 systems at initial steps. To enhance the degradation efficiency, the mole ratio of the component was changed in the second step. The work was then focused on the kinetic study of both photodegradation and mineralization processes. For this goal, the degradation extents of the photodegraded MO solutions were calculated based on the recorded absorbance of the solutions in the visible-light and the results were then subjected to the Hinshelwood equation. Then the solutions were subjected to COD experiment to follow the mineralization extent of MO. Form the slopes of the Hinshelwood plots, the rate constants of 0.024 and 0.025 min-1 were obtained for the degradation and mineralization of MO molecules, respectively. TOC results confirmed the mineralization of 187.5 μmoles of MO molecules in a 50 ppm MO solution.

Abstract
Due to the neutral charge of As(III) oxy-ions that make approaching the traditional adsorbent very improbable compared to the As(V) case, making it harder to be separated. To enhance the adsorption of As(Ш), the FeOOH coated cellulose acetate (CA) membrane doped with MnO2 nanoparticles (FeOOH@MnO2@CAM) was fabricated and then to removes As(Ш) in water through the synergistic effect of oxidation and adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 50.34 mg/g. FeOOH@MnO2@CAM was fabricated with CA as a substrate by dipping-precipitation phase inversion and hydrothermal method. Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model showed that As(Ш) was adsorbed by chemical interactions through the monolayer and thermodynamic showed that As(Ш) adsorption was an exothermic and spontaneous process. The results of the pH study showed that as the pH increases from 3 to 11, the adsorption capacity of As(Ш) decreases from 50.34 to 14.32 mg/g, which was attributed to the acidic environment promoting the protonation of the surface of FeOOH@MnO2@CAM, which increases the electrostatic attraction, and the alkaline environment increases electrostatic repulsion due to deprotonation. The competitive ions exhibited the PO43- significantly reduce the adsorption capacity of As(Ш),and as the PO43- content increases, the adsorption capacity of As(Ш) decreases from 29.76 to 18.57 mg/g, which was attributed to the similar chemical properties of PO43- and arsenate. Importantly, FeOOH@MnO2@CAM still maintains an adsorption capacity of 20.19 mg/g after seven cycles, demonstrating that it is a kind of environmentally friendly material to remove As(Ш) in the water environment.

Abstract
Among all minerals, iron is one of the elements identified early by human beings to take advantage of and be used. The role of iron in human life is so great that it made an era in the ages of humanity. Pure iron has a shiny grayish-silver color, but after combining with oxygen and water it can make a colorful set of materials with divergent properties. This diversity sometimes appears ambiguous but provides variety of applications. In fact, iron can come in different forms: zero-valent iron (pure iron), iron oxides, iron hydroxides, and iron oxide hydroxides. By taking these divergent materials into the nano realm, new properties are exhibited, providing us with even more applications. This review deals with iron as a magic element in the nano realm and provides comprehensive data about its structure, properties, synthesis techniques, and applications of various forms of iron-based nanostructures in the science, medicine, and technology sectors.
