Abstract
Textile-toxic synthetic dyes, which possess complex aromatic structures, are emitted into wastewater from various branches. To address this issue, the adsorption process was applied as an attractive method for the removal of dye contaminants from water in this article. An unprecedented integrated experimental study has been carried out, accompanied by theoretical simulations at the DFT-B3LYP/6-31G (d,P) level of theory to investigate how single Maxilon Blue GRL (MxB) dye or and its mixture with MG (Malachite Green) dyes interact with the adsorbent and compare the obtained results with the data obtained through experimentation. The full geometry optimization revealed the physical adsorption of dyes on the Al2O3 surface. Non-linear optical properties (NLO) results emphasized that the complex MG-Al2O3-MxB is a highly promising material in photo-applications, and the adsorbed binary system is energetically more favorable compared to the adsorbed sole dye system. The experimental results for (MxB) dye adsorption onto γ-Al2O3 affirmed that the optimum conditions to get more than 98% uptake were at dye concentration 100 ppm, pH 10, adsorbent content 0.05 g, and equilibrium time only 20 min. The kinetic and isothermal studies revealed that the adsorption accepted with the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. The removal efficiency of the mixture of MxB and MG dyes was the highest but did not change clearly with increasing the % of any of them. The details of the interaction mechanisms of the sole and binary dyes were proven.

Abstract
The simulation of metals, oxides, and hydroxides can accelerate the design of therapeutics, alloys, catalysts, cement-based materials, ceramics, bioinspired composites, and glasses. Here we introduce the INTERFACE force field (IFF) and surface models for α-Al2O3, α-Cr2O3, α-Fe2O3, NiO, CaO, MgO, β-Ca(OH)2, β-Mg(OH)2, and β-Ni(OH)2. The force field parameters are nonbonded, including atomic charges for Coulomb interactions, Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials for van der Waals interactions with 12-6 and 9-6 options, and harmonic bond stretching for hydroxide ions. The models outperform DFT calculations and earlier atomistic models (Pedone, ReaxFF, UFF, CLAYFF) up to 2 orders of magnitude in reliability, compatibility, and interpretability due to a quantitative representation of chemical bonding consistent with other compounds across the periodic table and curated experimental data for validation. The IFF models exhibit average deviations of 0.2% in lattice parameters, <10% in surface energies (to the extent known), and 6% in bulk moduli relative to experiments. The parameters and models can be used with existing parameters for solvents, inorganic compounds, organic compounds, biomolecules, and polymers in IFF, CHARMM, CVFF, AMBER, OPLS-AA, PCFF, and COMPASS, to simulate bulk oxides, hydroxides, electrolyte interfaces, and multiphase, biological, and organic hybrid materials at length scales from atoms to micrometers. The nonbonded character of the models also enables the analysis of mixed oxides, glasses, and certain chemical reactions, and well-performing nonbonded models for silica phases, SiO2, are introduced. Automated model building is available in the CHARMM-GUI Nanomaterial Modeler. We illustrate applications of the models to predict the structure of mixed oxides, and energy barriers of ion migration, as well as binding energies of water and organic molecules in outstanding agreement with experimental data and calculations at the CCSD(T) level. Examples of model building for hydrated, pH-sensitive oxide surfaces to simulate solid-electrolyte interfaces are discussed.

Abstract
Collecting energy from the ambient environment through green and sustainable methods is highly expected to alleviate pollution and energy problems worldwide. Here, we report a facile and flexible hydrovoltaic generator capable of utilizing natural water evaporation for sustainable electricity production. The generator was fabricated by coating nano-Al2O3 on a twistable polyethylene terephthalate film. An open circuit voltage of 1.7 V was obtained on a piece of centimeter-sized hydrovoltaic generator under ambient conditions. The supercapacitor charged by the hydrovoltaic device can power a mini-motor efficiently. Moreover, by expanding the size or connecting it in series/parallel, the energy output of the generator can be further improved. Finally, the influence factors and the mechanism for power generation were primarily investigated. Electrical energy is produced by the migration of water through charged capillary channels. The environmental conditions, the properties of the solution and the morphology of the film have important effects on the electrical performance. This study is anticipated to offer enlightenment into designing novel hydrovoltaic devices, providing diverse energy sources for various self-powered devices and systems.

Abstract
Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) are sub-class of perfluoroalkyl substances commonly detected in water matrices. They are persistent in the environment, hence highly toxic to living organisms. Their occurrence at trace amount, complex nature and prone to matrix interference make their extraction and detection a challenge. This study consolidates current advancements in solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques for the trace-level analysis of PFCAs from water matrices. The advantages of the methods in terms of ease of applications, low-cost, robustness, low solvents consumption, high pre-concentration factors, better extraction efficiency, good selectivity and recovery of the analytes have been emphasized. The article also demonstrated effectiveness of some porous materials for the adsorptive removal of the PFCAs from the water matrices. Mechanisms of the SPE/adsorption techniques have been discussed. The success and limitations of the processes have been elucidated.

Impact of Physical and Chemical Modification of the Surface of Porous Al 2O 3 Ceramic Membranes on the Quality of Transferred HSMG ® and CVD Graphene. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:319. [PMID: 36984706 PMCID: PMC10059780 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13030319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Graphene transfer onto ceramics, like Si/SiO2, is well-developed and described in the literature. However, it is problematic for other ceramic materials (e.g., Al2O3 and ZrO2), especially porous ones. In this case, it is mainly due to poor adhesion to the substrate, resulting in strong degradation of the graphene. For these reasons, the research topic of this study was undertaken. This article presents research on the development of the methodology of graphene transfer onto ceramic Al2O3 surfaces. Polycrystalline graphene chemical vapour deposition (CVD) monolayer and quasimonocrystalline high-strength metallurgical graphene (HSMG®) synthesised on liquid copper were used. When developing the transfer methodology, the focus was on solving the problem of graphene adhesion to the surface of this type of ceramic, and thus reducing the degree of graphene deterioration at the stage of producing a ceramic-graphene composite, which stands in the way of its practical use. Plasma and chemical ceramic surface modification were applied to change its hydrophobicity, and thus to improve the adhesion between the graphene and ceramic. The modification included the use of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma, oxygen plasma (RF PACVD method - Radio Frequency Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition), and hydrofluoric acid treatment. Changes in surface properties caused by the modifications were determined by measuring the contact angle and (in the case of chemical modification) measuring the degree of surface development. The effectiveness of the applied surface preparation methodology was evaluated based on the damage degree of CVD and HSMG® graphene layer transferred onto modified Al2O3 using optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The best average ID/IG ratio for the transferred HSMG® graphene was obtained after oxygen plasma modification (0.63 ± 0.18) and for CVD, graphene DBD plasma was the most appropriate method (0.17 ± 0.09). The total area of graphene defects after transfer to Al2O3 was the smallest for HSMG® graphene after modification with O2 plasma (0.251 mm2/cm2), and for CVD graphene after surface modification with DBD plasma (0.083 mm2/cm2).

Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the adsorption-desorption, surface, electrokinetic, and stability properties of aqueous suspensions of iron-containing minerals in the presence of anionic polyacrylamide (AN PAM) and lead(II) ions. Three minerals found in the soil environment, akaganeite, goethite, and magnetite, were synthesized based on the precipitation method. The interaction mechanism of heavy metal ions with polymer flocculant, which are adsorbed on the soil mineral particles, was proposed. It was shown that the best affinity to the AN PAM or/and Pb(II), adsorbed both from single and mixed solution, shows akageneite (characterized by the highly developed specific surface area). Polymer-metal complexes formed in the mixed adsorbate systems are rather stable, evidence of which is reduced desorption and consequently limited bioavailability of toxic lead ions for organisms and plants in soil environment.

Abstract
Various hydrogen bonds, especially charge-assisted hydrogen bond (CAHB), is considered as one of vital mechanisms affecting the environmental behavior and risk of pharmaceutical contaminants (PCs). Herein the sorption/desorption of three PCs including clofibric acid (CA), acetaminophen (ACT), and sulfamerazine (SMZ) on three Oxygen-rich (O-rich) nanoparticles (nano-silica: Nano-SiO2, nano-alumina: Nano-Al2O3, and oxidized carbon nanotubes: O-CNTs) were investigated to explore the effect of various hydrogen bonds with different strengths on environmental behaviors of PCs. The results indicated that although solvent-assisted CAHB, solvent-uninvolved CAHB, and ordinary hydrogen bond (OHB) all played a crucial role in sorption of PCs on three O-rich nanomaterials, they showed significantly different effects on the desorption behaviors of PCs from three sorbents. Compared with OHB (hysteresis index ≤0.0766), the stronger CAHB (hysteresis index ≥0.1981) between PCs and O-rich nanoparticles having comparable pKa with PCs, caused obvious desorption hysteresis of PCs, resulting in their better immobilization on O-rich nanomaterials. The FTIR characterization found that both solvent-assisted and solvent-uninvolved CAHB formation resulted in a new characteristic peak appeared in the high frequency (3660 cm-1 for Nano-SiO2, 3730 cm-1 for Nano-Al2O3, and 3780 cm-1 for O-CNTs). Also, density functional theory (DFT) calculation verified that the smaller |ΔpKa| between PCs and O-rich sorbents, the shorter bond length, and the larger bond angle resulted in the stronger hydrogen bond formed, thereby leading to the greater immobilization of PCs. These results provide in-depth understanding of the environmental behavior and risk of PCs, and light new idea for designed materials to control PCs pollution in the environment.

Abstract
The adsorption and transformation of tetracyclines (TCs) antibiotics, including oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and tetracycline (TC), on the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant-modified α-Al2O3 particles were comprehensively investigated in this study. The TCs adsorption was significantly enhanced by using the modified adsorbents compared with the use of the unmodified adsorbents. The experimental conditions were systematically optimized and found to be pH 4, NaCl 1 mM, the contact time of 180 min, and the adsorbent dosage of 25 mg. mL-1. The high maximum adsorption capacities were approximately 320, 85, and 91 mg. g-1 for TC, OTC, and CTC, respectively. Meanwhile, the great removal efficiencies of the three antibiotics TC, OTC, and CTC were correspondingly 91.85, 88.4, and 98.3%. The TCs adsorption isotherm and kinetics on the SDS-modified α-Al2O3 particles mainly governed by the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions were clarified by a suitable two-step model, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and zeta potential measurements. Meanwhile, the TCs structural transformation determined by the liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) measurement was promoted through the adsorption on the α-Al2O3 surface. The TCs transformation rates strongly affected by the TCs adsorption were in the order of CTC > TC > OTC. The found results are promised that the SDS-modified α-Al2O3 particles might behave as high-performance adsorbents to remove the TCs from aqueous solutions.

Simultaneous Removal of Polymers with Different Ionic Character from Their Mixed Solutions Using Herb-Based Biochars and Activated Carbons. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27217557.

Abstract
Nettle and the sage herbs were used to obtain carbonaceous adsorbents. For the biochar preparation the precursors were dried and subjected to conventional pyrolysis. Activated carbons were obtained during precursor impregnation with phosphoric(V) acid and multistep pyrolysis. The textural parameters and acidic-basic properties of the obtained adsorbents were studied. The activated carbons prepared from the above herbs were characterized by the largely developed specific surface area. The obtained carbonaceous adsorbents were used for polymer removal from aqueous solution. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) were chosen, due to their frequent presence in wastewater resulting from their extensive usage in many industrial fields. The influence of polymers on the electrokinetic properties of activated carbon were considered. PAA adsorption caused a decrease in the zeta potential and the surface charge density, whereas PEI increased these values. The activated carbons and biochars were used as polymer adsorbents from their single and binary solutions. Both polymers showed the greatest adsorption at pH 3. Poly (acrylic acid) had no significant effect on the polyethylenimine adsorbed amount, whereas PEI presence decreased the amount of PAA adsorption. Both polymers could be successfully desorbed from the activated carbons and biochar surfaces. The presented studies are innovatory and greatly required for the development of new environment protection procedures.

Hence, the present study focused on synthesizing SnCaAl2O3 core-shell nanoparticles (C.N.P.s) in the α-Alumina phase by thermal annealing a stacked structure sandwiched between two Al2O3 layers at low temperatures. The obtained structure showed Sn N.P. floating gate with an Al2O3 dielectric stacked tunneling barrier to remove the excess of these heavy metals from polluted water. To characterize the prepared composites, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) were used. The synthesized SnCaAl2O3 C.N.P.s composite was examined to utilize it as an adsorbent for removing Zn, Cd, and Pb divalent cations. The removal efficiency was studied by various parameters such as adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, metal concentrations, temperature, and coexisting ions. The experimental results were tested via Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The obtained results were convenient to the Freundlich isotherm model. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamic behavior of Zn+2, Cd+2, and Pb+2 on the synthesized composite was examined, and the process is endothermic and spontaneous under experimental conditions. The results illustrated that the adsorption efficiency of the SnCaAl2O3 core-shell nanoparticles (C.N.P.s) ranged from 88% to about 100% for all cations.

Abstract
Catalytic ozonation is an important water treatment method among advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Since the first development, catalytic ozonation has been consistently improved in terms of catalysts used and the optimization of operational parameters. The aim of this work is to compare the catalytic activity of polyaniline (PANI) and thermally treated polyaniline (PANI 900) in the catalytic ozonation of ibuprofen solutions at different pH values (4, 7, and 10). Catalysts were thoroughly characterized through multiple techniques (SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, pHPZC, and so on), while the oxidation process of ibuprofen solutions (100 mgL-1) was assessed by several analytical methods (HPLC, UV254, TOC, COD, and BOD5). The experimental data demonstrate a significant improvement in ibuprofen removal in the presence of prepared solids (20 min for PANI 900 at pH10) compared with non-catalytic processes (56 min at pH 10). Moreover, the influence of solution pH was emphasized, showing that, in the basic region, the removal rate of organic substrate is higher than in acidic or neutral range. Ozone consumption mgO3/mg ibuprofen was considerably reduced for catalytic processes (17.55-PANI, 11.18-PANI 900) compared with the absence of catalysts (29.64). Hence, beside the ibuprofen degradation, the catalysts used are very active in the mineralization of organic substrate and/or formation of biodegradable compounds. The best removal rate of target pollutants and oxidation by-products was achieved by PANI 900, although raw polyaniline also presents important activity in the oxidation process. Therefore, it can be stated that polyaniline-based catalysts are effective in the oxidation processes.

Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from bamboo pretreated with aluminum salt was synthesized for the removal of two sulfonamide antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfapyridine (SPY), from wastewater. Batch sorption experiments showed that Al-modified bamboo biochar (Al-BB-600) removed both sulfonamides effectively with the maximum sorption capacity of 1200-2200 mg/kg. The sorption mechanism was mainly controlled by hydrophobic, π-π, and electrostatic interactions. Fixed bed column experiments with Al-modified biochar packed in different dosages (250, 500 and 1000 mg) and flow rates (1, 2 and 4 mL/min) showed the dosage of 1000 mg and flow rate of 1 mL/min performed the best for the removal of both SMX and SPY from wastewater. Among the breakthrough (BT) models used to evaluate the fixed bed filtration performance of Al-BB-600, the Yan model best described the BT behavior of the two sulfonamides, suggesting that the adsorption process involved multiple rate-liming factors such as mass transfer at the solid surface and diffusion Additionally, the Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) model results indicated that Al-BB-600 can be efficiently used in fixed bed column for the removal of both SMX and SPY in scaled-up continuous wastewater flow operations. Therefore, Al-modified biochar can be considered a reliable sorbent in real-world application for the removal of SMX and SPY from wastewater.

Abstract
La contaminación de fuentes de agua por la industria química es uno de los graves problemas medioambientales y, por ende, de salud que atraviesa la humanidad. El objetivo del siguiente trabajo fue determinar la capacidad descontaminante de un conjunto de nanopartículas conocidas comúnmente como hidróxidos dobles laminares (HDL) o compuesto de tipo hidrotalcita (HT). Se realizó la síntesis de los mismos y la posterior caracterización por espectroscopía infrarroja con el fin de analizar su capacidad como material adsorbente en tratamiento de aguas contaminadas por ácido pícrico en la Facultad de Química y Farmacia de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) en los meses comprendidos de marzo a julio del 2018. Para el estudio se utilizó la técnica de análisis de colorimetría para la determinación de las cantidades adsorbidas por los HDL y el descenso de concentraciones iniciales de las soluciones. La información obtenida se procesó y los resultados fueron expresados en términos numéricos y porcentuales, así como en gráficos. Los resultados mostraron que el mayor descenso de la concentración de la solución de ácido pícrico y, por consiguiente, la mayor cantidad del mismo retenido en la superficie del material adsorbente sintetizado, se alcanzó a las 2 horas de contacto con agitación constante, demostrando su capacidad descontaminante como un material adsorbente de fácil y económica preparación.

Abstract
Polyethylene degradation has a significant ecological impact but is also economically beneficial because it generates fuels and useful chemical products. Our study mainly describes the cleavage of C-C and C-H bonds when polyethylene (dispersed in 1-octadecene) was low-temperature heat-treated in two steps, at 180 and 250 °C, for 24 h for each step. Finally, it was converted to a mixture of the precursors of gasoline and diesel oil with a trace amount of wax. A series of reactions resulted in cracking, dehydrogenation and oxidation, hence producing polycarboxylic acids and saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. ESI-MS analysis revealed that mixed oil consisted of low carbon number hydrocarbons and their derivatives of carboxylic acids, with the carbon number ranging from C-6 to C-18. In the trace amount of wax, complicated carboxylic acids and hydrocarbons with carbon number C-22 to C-58 were also identified. FT-IR analysis further confirmed the presence of carboxylic acid derivatives and double bonds in the degradation products. γ-Al2O3 nanorods effectively catalyzed the degradation process by enhancing the C-C chain length in the products. Lewis acid (Al) and Lewis base (oxygen) in the γ-Al2O3 induced ionic character of the C-C bond chain, which led to the efficient cracking of the C-C bond. Poor shielding effect, smaller atomic size and greater ionization energy made Ga a stronger Lewis acid compared to Al; hence, Ga-doped γ-Al2O3 catalyzed the degradation process even more effectively.

Abstract
Alum sludge from water treatment was calcined and extracted to synthesize high quality boehmite and γ-alumina for phosphate removal. Synthesized boehmite and γ-alumina were able to remove phosphate quickly and effectively. Boehmite (hydrothermal treatment at 60 °C) showed maximum phosphate removal (adsorption) of 61 mg P/g followed by γ-alumina (50 mg P/g) and the boehmite hydrothermally treated at 120 °C (41 mg P/g). The degree of crystallinity gave more effect on phosphate adsorption of boehmite than that of γ-alumina. The lower the pH, the more phosphate adsorbed on the boehmite and γ-alumina (adsorb phosphate more than 4 times at pH 3 than at pH 11). Spectroscopic analysis (SEM-EDS and FTIR) indicates that phosphate are removed by ligand exchange, electrostatic attraction, and surface precipitation on the synthesized boehmite and γ-alumina.

Abstract
Due to their persistent and pervasive distribution and their adverse effects on human health, the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the environment has been the focus of current research. Recent studies have shown that engineered nanomaterials provide great opportunities for their removal by chemical, physical and electrochemical adsorption methods, or as photo- or electrocatalysts that promote their degradation. This review summarizes and discusses the performance of recently reported nanomaterials towards PFAS removal in water treatment applications. We discuss the performance, mechanisms, and PFAS removal conditions of a variety of nanomaterials, including carbon-based, non-metal, single-metal, and multi-metal nanomaterials. We show that nanotechnology provides significant opportunities for PFAS remediation and further nanomaterial development can provide solutions for the removal of PFAS from the environment. We also provide an overview of the current challenges.

Abstract
Alumina (Al2O3) is one of the most used supports in the chemical industry due to its exceptional thermal stability, surface area, and acidic properties. Mesoscopic structured alumina with adequate acidic properties is important in catalysis to enhance the selectivity and conversion of certain reactions and processes. This study introduces a synthetic method based on electrospinning to produce Al2O3 nanofibers (ANFs) with zeolite mordenite (MOR) nanocrystals (hereafter, hybrid ANFs) to tune the textural and surface acidity properties. The hybrid ANFs with electrospinning form a non-woven network with macropores. ANF-HMOR, i.e., ANFs containing protonated mordenite (HMOR), shows the highest total acidity of ca. 276 μmol g-1 as determined with infrared spectroscopy using pyridine as a molecular probe (IR-Py). IR-Py results reveal that Lewis acid sites are prominently present in the hybrid ANFs. Brønsted acid sites are also observed in the hybrid ANFs and are associated with the HMOR presence. The functionality of hybrid ANFs is evaluated during methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME). The proof of concept reaction reveals that ANF-HMOR is the more active and selective catalyst with 87% conversion and nearly 100% selectivity to DME at 573 K. The results demonstrate that the textural properties and the acid site type and content can be modulated in hybrid ANF structures, synergistically improving the selectivity and conversion during the methanol dehydration reaction. From a broader perspective, our results promote the utilization of hybrid structural materials as a means to tune chemical reactions selectively.

Abstract
Aluminum oxides, oxyhydroxides, and hydroxides are important in different fields of application due to their many attractive properties. However, among these materials, tohdite (5Al2O3·H2O) is probably the least known because of the harsh conditions required for its synthesis. Herein, we report a straightforward methodology to synthesize tohdite nanopowders (particle diameter ∼13 nm, specific surface area ∼102 m2 g-1) via the mechanochemically induced dehydration of boehmite (γ-AlOOH). High tohdite content (about 80%) is achieved upon mild ball milling (400 rpm for 48 h in a planetary ball mill) without process control agents. The addition of AlF3 can promote the crystallization of tohdite by preventing the formation of the most stable α-Al2O3, resulting in the formation of almost phase-pure tohdite. The availability of easily accessible tohdite samples allowed comprehensive characterization by powder X-ray diffraction, total scattering analysis, solid-state NMR (1H and 27Al), N2-sorption, electron microscopy, and simultaneous thermal analysis (TG-DSC). Thermal stability evaluation of the samples combined with structural characterization evidenced a low-temperature transformation sequence: 5Al2O3·H2O → κ-Al2O3 → α-Al2O3. Surface characterization via DRIFTS, ATR-FTIR, D/H exchange experiments, pyridine-FTIR, and NH3-TPD provided further insights into the material properties.

Abstract
Abstract
The radioisotope Cr-51 was exploited for studying the chromium adsorption behavior in aqueous media of alumina in aqueous media. Where, it represents 1.8% by weight and exists in earth’s crust in different forms. Factors affecting this adsorption behavior are pH, amount of alumina and humic acid presence. In case of pH adsorption curves, three different areas under peak can be described based on pH changes which lead to the formation of different species too. The first area is the maximum constant adsorption at pH, range 1–3, the second one is adsorption decreasing with increasing pH through pH range 4–7 and the third one is step-down adsorption at higher pH range. The increasing amount of alumina leads to increase in the percent adsorption, where 10 and 2 g/l alumina were found to have 100% while in case of 0.2 g/l it is 80%. The presence of humic acid decreases the adsorption of chromate with increasing pH to be 30% comparing to 80% in case of 0.2 g/l alumna at pH 2. This can be also indicated by adsorption capacity which is found to be 436.8 μg/g in case of 0.2 g alumina; and it decreases in presence of Humic Acid (HA) to 145.8 μg/g at same weight of alumina. Also, the equilibrium capacities are found as 54.6 μg/g for 2 g/l and 1.2 μg/g for 10 g/l. Triple layer model (TLM) was used for simulation of chromium adsorption behavior in presence of alumina with the applied conditions of study. The results showed high coincidence with the practically found data.

Abstract
Ozone has been successfully employed in water treatment due to its ability to oxidize a wide variety of refractory compounds. In order to increase the process efficiency and optimize its economy, the implementation of heterogeneous catalysts has been encouraged. In this context, the use of cheap and widely available natural materials is a promising option that would promote the utilization of ozone in a cost-effective water treatment process. This review describes the use of natural clays, zeolites and oxides as supports or active catalysts in the ozonation process, with emphasis on the structural characteristics and modifications performed in the raw natural materials; the catalytic oxidation mechanism; effect of the operating parameters and degradation efficiency outcomes. According to the information compiled, more research in realistic scenarios is needed (i.e., real wastewater matrix or continuous operation in pilot scale) in order to transfer this technology to the treatment of real wastewater streams.

C.I. Basic Red 46 Removal from Sewage by Carbon and Silica Based Composite: Equilibrium, Kinetic and Electrokinetic Studies. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27031043.

Abstract
The worldwide production of colored products and intermediates is increasing year on year. The consequence of this is an increase in the number of liquid effluents containing toxic dyes entering the aquatic environment. Therefore, it is extremely important to dispose of them. One of the techniques for the elimination of environmentally harmful dyes is adsorption. The main purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of using a carbon and silica (C/SiO2)-based composite for the removal of the azo dye C.I. Basic Red 46 (BR46). The adsorption capacity of C/SiO2 was found to be temperature dependent and increased from 41.90 mg/g to 176.10 mg/g with a temperature rise from 293 K to 333 K in accordance with the endothermic process. The Langmuir isotherm model seems to be the better one for the description of experimental data rather than Freundlich or Dubinin–Radushkevich. The free energy (ΔGo) confirmed the spontaneous nature of BR46 adsorption by C/SiO2. Kinetic parameters revealed that BR46 uptake followed the pseudo-second-order equation; however, the external diffusion plays a significant role. Surfactants of cationic, anionic and non-ionic type influenced BR46 retention by C/SiO2. The electrokinetic results (solid surface charge density and zeta potential) indicated that the adsorption of cationic dye and surfactant influences the structure of the electrical double layer formed at the solid–liquid interface.

J Environ Sci (China) 2022; 111:263-272.

Abstract
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) and emergent contaminant that are widespread in the environment. Understanding the mechanisms controlling the distribution of PFOS and its isomers between hydrargillite and the water phase is important in order to study their redistribution and mobility in the environment. This study investigated the effects of pH, humic acid, fulvic acid and Na2SO4 on sorption of PFOS isomers to hydrargillite. A mixture of PFOS isomers was spiked into water and hydrargillite was added to the system and shaken for one day; the system was tested with different aqueous composition. Concentrations of PFOS isomers in the aqueous phase were quantified using an ultra-performance liquid chromatograph coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Our results showed that the distribution coefficients of PFOS isomers were found to be 0.76, 0.71, 0.93 and 0.90 at pH 6.5, for 3-/4-/5- PFOS, 6-/2-PFOS, L-PFOS and total PFOS respectively. The distribution coefficients increased at lower pH and decreased at alkaline conditions. The presence of humic substances (HS) increased the sorption slightly at the environmental pH of 6.5, although a competition effect was observed during acidic conditions. A tendency of PFOS distribution to hydrargillite in the presence of Na2SO4 was like its behavior in the presence of HS although the mechanisms behind the sorption were interpreted differently. This study revealed that L-PFOS was readily sorbed when no other chemicals were added or in 20 mg/L FA or 100 mg/L Na2SO4. We suggest that an increase in PFOS sorption in the presence of HS may be due to hydrophobic mechanisms while Na2SO4 contributed to increased sorption through ionic strength effects.

Abstract
The emission of toluene into the atmosphere can seriously affect the environmental quality and endanger human health. A dielectric barrier discharge reactor filled with a small amount of Au nanocatalysts was used to decompose toluene in He and O2 gases mixtures at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Normally, the oxidation of toluene using Au nanocatalysts suffers from low reaction activity and facile catalyst deactivation. Herein, the effects of Au loading, calcination time and calcination temperature were systematically investigated. It was found that 0.1 wt%Au/γ-Al2O3 calcined at 300 °C for 5 h can keep an average size around 6 nm with good dispersion on γ-Al2O3 surface and display the best catalytic performance. Moreover, the influences of energy density, gas flow rate, toluene concentration and O2 concentration on toluene degradation using 0.1 wt%Au/γ-Al2O3 were evaluated. It showed the best catalytic performance of near 100% conversion for toluene degradation under the reaction conditions of the energy density was 20 J/L, the gas flow rate was 300 mL/min, the concentration of toluene was 376 mg/m3 and the oxygen content was 10%. Combining experimental results and theoretical calculations, the values of reaction constant k were 8.6 × 10-5, 3.53 × 10-5 and 3.09 × 10-5 m6/(mol*J), when O2 concentration, power or flow rate changed, respectively. Therefore, O2 concentration has the greatest effect on toluene decomposition compared to other factors in the presence of Au/γ-Al2O3.

Abstract
Water remediation is an essential component for sustainable development. Increasing population and rapid industrialization have contributed to the deterioration of water resources. In particular, effluents from chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum industries, and anthropogenic activities have led to severe ecological degradation. Many of these detrimental pollutants are highly toxic even at low concentrations, acting as carcinogens and inflicting severe long-lasting effects on human health. This review underscores the potential applications of engineered carbon-based materials for effective wastewater treatment. It focuses on the performance as well as efficiency of activated carbon, graphene nanomaterial, and carbon nanotubes, both with and without chemical functionalization. Plausible mechanisms of action between the chemically functionalized adsorbent and pollutants are also discussed. Based on the keywords from the literature published in the recent five years, a statistical practicality-vs-applicability analysis of these three materials is also provided. The review will provide a deep understanding of the physical or chemical interactions of the wastewater pollutants with carbon materials.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The presence of nanoparticles at oil-water interface influences the interaction forces between Pickering emulsions. When charged nanoparticles are at the oil-water interface of an electrostatically stabilized emulsion, in addition to the screened Coulombic interaction, electric dipolar force also influences the total inter-droplet force profiles. An in-depth understanding of the effects of such electric dipolar forces is essential for designing colloidally stable Pickering nanoemulsions for various applications. EXPERIMENTS Inter-droplet forces between γ-Al2O3 nanoparticle stabilized oil-in-water nanoemulsion, containing superparamagnetic nanoparticles (magnetically polarizable) in the oil phase, are measured using the magnetic-chaining technique at different pH and salt concentrations. The role of mono-, di- and tri-valent salts on the inter-droplet force profiles are assessed. FINDINGS Force measurement studies reveal a lowering of inter-droplet spacing, within the linear chains, for higher salt concentrations due to an increased screening. Strong interfacial attachment of the charged nanoparticles results in the formation of an asymmetric charge cloud leading to an electric dipolar interaction. Incorporating the contributions of electric dipolar and screened Coulombic interactions, the theoretically estimated total repulsive force magnitudes are in good agreement with the experimental data. The obtained results offer better insights into the nature of colloidal force between charged particle stabilized nanoemulsions.

Abstract
The functionalization of lignin derivatives for ion removals is a promising method to expedite their use in treating industrial wastewater. In this work, kraft lignin (KL) was polymerized with [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium methyl sulfate (METAM) or acrylic acid (AA) in an acidic aqueous suspension system to produce cationic and anionic water-soluble lignin polymers with high molecular weights. Then, the interaction of soluble ions and KL-METAM and KL-AA was investigated using a Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and a vertical scan analyzer (VSA). The QCM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurement results showed that the adsorption efficiency of KL-AA was better than KL-METAM for ions due to the stronger electrostatic interaction, cationic π-interaction, and chelation between ions and KL-AA. Based on adsorption, sedimentation, and aggregate size analyses, the dual polymer systems of KL-AA/KL-METAM were more effective than KL-METAM/KL-AA in removing ions. Among Zn2+, Cu2+, and K+; Zn2+ interacted more effectively with polymers in all scenarios because it has higher reactivity for interacting with other elements. As the efficiency of ion removals was more remarkable than past reported findings, the system of KL-AA/KL-METAM may be a promising alternative for the removal of dissolved ions from solutions.

Abstract
AbstractThe adsorption and electrokinetic properties of hybrid silica materials composed of nickel and silicon oxides (NixOy-SiO2), characterized by different contents of nickel oxide (from 0.5 to 3 mmol/g SiO2), were examined. These solids were also modified by poly(vinyl alcohol) to change their surface characteristics. The polymer is non-toxic and very well soluble in water. Due to incomplete hydrolysis of the polymer acetate groups, its macromolecules become negatively charged. The limited range of studied pH (6–10) resulted from high solubility of nickel oxide at more acidic pH values. The spectrophotometric, surface charge and electrophoretic measurements indicated that PVA exhibits higher adsorption affinity for the surfaces of mixed oxide with a larger content of nickel in its structure. Moreover, the presence of polymeric layers on the solid surface influences considerably the structure of electrical double layer formed at the mixed oxide-aqueous solution interface.

Abstract
The expansion of metakaolinite layers with stacking order and the order destruction were examined by the heat treatment of a kaolinite-tetraphenylphosphonium chloride intercalation compound (Kaol-TPhPCl) at 540 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere followed by the manual grinding of the product using a mortar and a pestle. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and solid-state 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with magic angle spinning revealed the kaolinite dehydroxylation. Moreover, the absence of kaolinite diffraction lines and the appearance of the 1.85 nm diffraction line in the X-ray diffraction pattern, together with the observation of the hexagonal plate-like morphology in the field-emission scanning electron microscopy, indicated the kaolinite amorphization with the orderly-stacked layers. These results, along with the disappearance of the 1.85 nm diffraction line upon the manual grinding of heat-treated Kaol-TPhPCl, clearly indicated the formation of expanded metakaolinite layers with stacking order and the subsequent order destruction by manual grinding. Metakaolinite layers were expanded via the heat treatment of a kaolinite-tetraphenylphosphonium chloride intercalation compound and the obtained metakaolinite stacking order was destroyed upon manual grinding.![]()

Abstract
Treatment of wastewaters containing hazardous substances such as dyes from the textile, paper, plastic and food industries is of great importance. Efficient technique for the removal of highly toxic organic dyes is adsorption. In this paper, adsorptive properties of the carbon-silica composite (C/SiO2) were evaluated for the cationic dyes C.I. Basic Blue 3 (BB3) and C.I. Basic Yellow 2 (BY2). The sorption capacities were determined as a function of temperature (924.6-1295.9 mg/g for BB3 and 716.3-733.2 mg/g for BY2 at 20-60 °C) using the batch method, and the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were applied for the equilibrium data evaluation using linear and non-linear regression. The rate of dye adsorption from the 100 mg/L solution was very fast, after 5 min. of phase contact time 98% of BB3 and 86% of BY2 was removed by C/SiO2. Presence of the anionic (SDS), cationic (CTAB) and non-ionic (Triton X-100) surfactants in the amount of 0.25 g/L caused decrease in BB3 and BY2 uptake. The electrokinetic studies, including determination of the solid surface charge density and zeta potential of the composite suspensions in single and mixed adsorbate systems, were also performed. It was shown that presence of adsorption layers changes the structure of the electrical double layer formed on the solid surface, based on the evidence of changes in ionic composition of both surface layer and the slipping plane area. The greatest differences between suspension with and without adsorbates was obtained in the mixed dye + SDS systems; the main reason for this is the formation of dye-surfactant complexes in the solution and their adsorption at the interface.

Abstract
The network of Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) suspension is explored below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC), in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) with a positively charged head using TEM imaging and rheological characterization. CNC-CTAB gels show shear thinning behavior, complex relationship between strain amplitudes and CTAB concentration, diminishing thixotropic behavior as a function of CTAB and single and two yielding stress maxima as a function of CTAB, resulting from different microstructure below and above the critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of CTAB. Comparing the flow curves of CNC-CTAB suspension/gel revealed the role played by CTAB content, CNC concentration and sonication energy in strengthening of the network. We analyzed and obtained yield stress from steady shear, creep testing and oscillatory experiments and compared them.

Abstract
Adsorption of electrolytes (ions) at solid-liquid interfaces alters the physical and chemical properties of materials and hence plays a critical role in manufacturing and processing of nanomaterials featuring large surface or interfacial areas of desired structures and morphology. Many experiments and theoretical calculations using various electrical double layer (EDL) models have been conducted to understand how and where ions adsorb at charged surfaces in a liquid. However, conclusions from previous research remain inconclusive because of model-dependent approaches to studying ion adsorption at diverse solid-liquid interfaces. In this study, atomic force microscopy is used to image in liquids the surface lattice structure of two kaolinite basal planes in the presence and absence of monovalent and divalent cations. Distinct adsorption of ions through different mechanisms (such as electrostatic attraction and specific adsorption) is identified through atomic resolution imaging without the assumption of an EDL structure.

Abstract
6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (with the trade name F-53B, a substitute for PFOS) is one type of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), which is widely used as a chromium mist inhibitor in China. It has been found in environment commonly. In this study, the sorption behavior of F-53B on four kinds of nano-materials: alumina nanopowder (ANP), alumina nanowires (ANW), hydrophilic bentonite nanoclay (HBNC) and surface modified nanoclay (SMNC) were investigated. The kinetics results indicated that the sorption of F-53B on four nano-materials reached equilibrium within 2 h and the sorption process were fitted better by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic study showed that the sorption of F-53B on nano-materials were exothermic and spontaneous. As the increase of temperature, the maximum sorption capacity of ANP, ANW, HBNC, SMNC increased, and reached 868.75, 91.35, 5.15, 2465.09 μg/g at 25 °C, respectively. The surface modified nanoclay (SMNC) was better than the others for removing F-53B from aquatic environment. To investigate the effects of pH and ion strength, the particle size and zeta potential of sorbents at different pH and ion strength were measured by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and concluded that the sorption mechanism of F-53B on two kinds of nanoalumina mainly included electrostatic attraction and agglomeration effects, while hydrophobic interaction played an important role on the sorption of F-53B on nanoclay. This study revealed the sorption behavior and mechanism of F-53B on four kinds of nano-materials, and the results provided theoretical support for removing F-53B from electroplating wastewater with nano-materials.

Abstract
For the first time, the fate of radicals generated in heterogeneous chemical oxidation treatment systems has been accounted for and used to assess treatment performance in three reaction compartments; reaction with the target compound, rhodamine B (RhB), the aqueous phase scavengers, and the solid phase scavengers. Radicals formed during the ultra-violet (UV) activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (UV-AHP) and persulfate (S2O8 2-) (UV-APS) include hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4 •-), respectively. •OH and SO4 •-, used in oxidation treatment systems to degrade a broad spectrum of environmental contaminants, may also react with non-target chemical species (scavengers) that limit treatment efficiency. UV-AHP and UV-APS treatment systems were amended with solid phase alumina to assess scavenging by solid surfaces. The overall rate of reaction and rate of radical scavenging was greater for •OH than SO4 •-. Scavenging by dissolved constituents was dominated by the oxidant used (H2O2, S2O8 2-); and the rate of radical scavenging by alumina was greater than the rate of RhB oxidation in all cases. Treatment efficiency was lower in the UV-AHP than in the UV-APS treatment system and was attributed to greater aqueous and solid phase scavenging rates. The cost of commercially available H2O2 ($0.031 mol-1) and PS ($0.24 mol-1) was used in conjunction with the overall treatment efficiency to assess specific cost of treatment. The specific cost to treat the probe compound with UV-AHP was greater than UV-APS and was attributed to the much lower treatment efficiency with UV-AHP. The much-desired high reaction rate constants between •OH and environmental contaminants, relative to SO4 •-, may come at the cost of greater combined scavenging rates, and consequently lower treatment efficiency.

Abstract
AbstractResearch on Ca2+ adsorption onto the mineral surface is of significant importance with regard to geochemical processes. Sverjensky (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 70(10), 2427–2453, 2006) assumed that alkaline earths form two types of surface species on oxides: tetranuclear (> SOH)2(> SO−)2_M(OH)+ and mononuclear > SO−_M(OH)+. To look into the above assumption we investigated calcium adsorption on SiO2 and Al2O3 because they are the most widespread minerals in the environment. We have determined the proton surface charge, electrokinetic potential and metal adsorption as a function of pH. The Ca2+ uptake and concentration in the system were monitored by the calcium ion-selective electrode (Ca-ISE). The Ca-ISE measurements indicated a similar affinity of Ca2+ for both materials despite their differently charged surface, negative for silica and mainly positive for alumina. This may suggest that simple electrostatic interactions are not the primary driving force for calcium adsorption, and that solvation of calcium ions at the surface may be crucial. We have analyzed our experimental data using the 2-pK triple-layer model (2-pK TLM). Three calcium complexes on the mineral surface were reported. Two of them were the same for both oxides, i.e. the tetranuclear ($$>$$

SOH)2($$>$$

SO−)2_Ca2+ and mononuclear complexes > SO−_CaOH+. Additionally, minor contribution from >SOH…Ca2+ for silica was assumed. In the case of Al2O3 the hydrolyzed tetranuclear complexes ($$>$$

SO−)2_CaOH+ at pH > 7.5 occurred based on the modeling results. Two types of surface complexes suggested by Sverjensky allowed for the correct description of proton and calcium uptake for alumina. However, the electrokinetic data excluded hydrolyzed tetranuclear surface species for this oxide.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to determine four anionic alkyl sulfate (AS) surfactants with different alkyl chains, namely, C8, C10, C12, and C14, in wastewater by CE with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4 D). The conditions effective for the separation of the four AS surfactants were systematically optimized and found to be in a Tris-His (50 mM/20 mM) BGE solution at a pH of 8.95, using a separation voltage of +15 kV, hydrodynamic injection by siphoning using a 20 cm injection height and an injection time of 20 s. The LODs for C8, C10, C12, and C14 were 2.58, 2.30, 2.08, and 3.16 mg/L, respectively. The conditions used to achieve the simultaneous adsorption and preconcentration of the AS surfactants using Al2 O3 beads were pH of 3 and 0.1 mM NaCl. The adsorption efficiencies were found to be 45.6, 50.8, 81.7, and 99.9%, while the desorption efficiencies reached 66.1, 70.4, 83.9, and 100.0% for C8, C10, C12, and C14, respectively. The concentrations of the AS surfactants in wastewater samples were quantified by CE-C4 D after preconcentration by simultaneous adsorption using Al2 O3 beads. The results obtained from the proposed method were consistent with those obtained by HPLC-MS/MS, with a deviation of less than 15%. Our results indicate that the CE-C4 D performed after preconcentration by an adsorption technique using Al2 O3 beads is a new, inexpensive, and suitable method for quantifying AS surfactants in wastewater samples.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the removal of an emerging pesticide lindane from aqueous solution using synthesized aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 (bayerite) nanomaterials with surface modification by an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The Al(OH)3 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and zeta potential. The lindane removal using SDS-modified nano-aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles (SMNAH) achieved removal of up to 93.68%, which was 3.3 times higher than that of nano-aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles. The adsorptive removal conditions were studied and found to have an adsorption time of 60 min, a pH of 6, an adsorbent dosage of 25 mg/mL and an ionic strength of 10 mM NaCl. After reusing four times, the removal efficiency of lindane using SMNAH still reached 75%. Two-step adsorption can fit adsorption isotherms of lindane onto SMNAH at two salt concentrations. On the basis of the change in zeta potential, surface functional groups and adsorption isotherms, we suggest that the formation of a bilayer micelle induced the removal of lindane.
