Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 232:123342. [PMID: 36716836 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites have attracted growing attention due to their versatility as new materials for application in different fields. Water remediation is one of the traditional applications of these composites and their investigation as adsorbents for single water pollutants is well established. However, most water resources such as rivers, lakes, and even oceans contain complex mixtures of pollutants. Despite several recently published reviews on water purification technology, they only focused on these material as single pollutant removers and hardly mentioned their capacity to simultaneously recover multiple pollutants. Therefore, there is still a gap in the archived literature considering nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites targeting water remediation with multiple water pollutants. In this review, methods for synthesizing such composites are classified and compared according to the mechanism of reactions, such as chemical crosslinking and physical adsorption, while outlining advantages and limitations. Then, the water pollutants mainly targeted by those composites are discussed in detail to expound the relationship between the synthesis method and the type and adsorption capacity. Finally, the last section presents challenges and opportunities of these nanocellulose/polyethylenimine composites as emerging sorbents for sustainable multiple water pollutants purification technologies. This review aims to lay out the basis for future developments of these composites for multiple water pollutants.

BMC Chem 2022; 16:65. [PMID: 36042477 PMCID: PMC9426243 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-022-00857-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, the novel adsorbent diaminoguanidine-modified cellulose (DiGu.MC) was synthesized to extract mercury, copper, lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solutions and environmental water samples. The synthetic strategy involved oxidizing cellulose powder into dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) and reacting DAC with diaminoguanidine to create an imine linkage between the two reactants to form diaminoguanidine-modified cellulose (DiGu.MC). The structure and morphology of the adsorbent were studied using a variety of analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area measurements. Adsorption of mercury, copper, lead, and cadmium ions was optimized by examining the effects of pH, initial concentration, contact time, dose, temperature and competing ions. Under optimal adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacities of Cu2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ were 66, 55, 70 and 41 mg g−1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm is in very good agreement with the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that a monomolecular layer is formed on the surface of DiGu.MC. The kinetics of adsorption are in good agreement with the pseudo-second kinetics model that proposes the chemical adsorption of metal ions via the nitrogen functional groups of the adsorbent. Thermodynamic studies have confirmed that the adsorption of heavy metals by DiGu.MC is exothermic and spontaneous. Regeneration studies have shown that the adsorbent can be recycled multiple times by removing metal ions with 0.2 M nitric acid. The removal efficiency for regeneration was over 99%. DiGu.MC is introduced as a unique adsorbent in removing mercury, copper, lead and cadmium with a simple synthetic strategy, with cheap starting materials, a unique chemical structure and fast adsorption kinetics leading to excellent removal efficiency and excellent regeneration. The mechanism of adsorption of the investigated heavy metals, is probably based on the chelation between the metal ions and the N donors of DiCu.MC.

Abstract
The studies on microplastics are significant in the world. According to the literature, microplastics have greatly specific surface areas, indicating high adsorption capacities for highly toxic pollutants in aquatic and soil environments, and these could be used as adsorbents. The influencing factors of microplastic adsorption, classification of microplastics, and adsorption mechanisms using microplastics for adsorbing organic, inorganic, and mixed pollutants are summarized in the paper. Furthermore, the influence of pH, temperature, functional groups, aging, and other factors related to the adsorption performances of plastics are discussed in detail. We found that microplastics have greater advantages in efficient adsorption performance and cost-effectiveness. In this paper, the adsorptions of pollutants by microplastics and their performance is proposed, which provides significant guidance for future research in this field.

Abstract
Water and energy are two of the most important resources used by humanity. Discharging highly polluting wastewater without prior treatment is known to adversely affect water potability, agriculture, aquatic life and even society. One of the greatest threats to water sources are contaminated effluents, which can be of residential or industrial origin and whose disposal in nature must comply with specific laws aimed at reducing their environmental impact. As the oil industry is closely related to energy consumption, it is among the sectors most responsible for global pollution. The damage caused by this industrial sector is present in all countries, whose legislations require companies to carry out wastewater treatment before disposal or recycling in their production process. Bacterial cellulose membranes have been shown to be efficient as filters for the removal of various contaminants, including biological and chemical agents or heavy metals. Therefore, their use could make an important contribution to bio-based technological development in the circular economy. Moreover, they can be used to produce new materials for industry, taking into consideration current environmental preservation policies aimed at a more efficient use of energy. This review aims to compare and describe the applications of cellulose membranes in the treatment of these effluents.

Abstract
Cellulose/polyethyleneimine composites have increasingly attracted the attention of scientific community, devoted to the design and development of new synthetic strategies and materials for different application fields. In this review, after introducing the main characteristics of the two polymeric components, we provide in the second section a critical overview on the main protocols for the synthesis of these composites, considering both the several cellulose sources and forms, and the different cross-linkers and cross-linking procedures developed for this purpose, outlining advantages and limits for the reported approaches. The last section analyses the principal results obtained in different application fields. A wide discussion is dedicated to the principal use of cellulose/polyethyleneimine composites as sorbents for water remediation from heavy metal ions and organic contaminants. Subsequently, we introduce the literature describing the use of these composites, functionalized appropriately, where necessary, as drug delivery systems, sensors, and heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions. Finally, after a brief description of other random applications, we furnish a personal analysis of actual limits and potentialities for these systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Chromium is widely used in industry, and improper disposal of wastewater and industrial residues containing excessive chromium can contaminate water and soil, endangering both environmental and human health. Natural biopolymers and their derivatives have been investigated for removal of chromium (Cr) from wastewater. Cellulose, lignin, tannin, chitin, chitosan, and polypeptides are abundant in nature, and have high potential as adsorbents due to their easy access, low cost, and the recyclability of the captured heavy metals. In order to improve their mechanical strength, recyclability, specific surface area, binding site number, and adsorption rate as adsorbents, native materials have also been modified. This review discusses the source of chromium contamination and the main species of interest, as well as their toxicity. The structures of the aforementioned biopolymers were analyzed, and the adsorption mechanism of chromium and the main influencing factors on this process are discussed. The modification methods of various adsorbents and their adsorption effects on chromium are also detailed, and the developmental direction of research on the use of biopolymer adsorption remediation to control chromium contamination is discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
This study investigated the removal of phenol from steel industry wastewater by three dimensional electrochemical (TDE) process using CoFe2O4 nanobiocomposite based activated carbon in the presence of H2O2 (EC-CoFe2O4@AC-H2O2). In this study, CoFe2O4 nanobiocomposite-foundation activated carbon (CoFe2O4@AC) was used as microelectrode, adsorbent, and activator for peroxide hydrogen. The removal efficiency of phenol and COD was investigated through the parameters of pH, contact time, CoFe2O4@AC dosage, current density, and H2O2 concentration. The highest removal rates of phenol and COD were >99% and 98%, respectively. Also, steel plant wastewater under the optimal conditions of pH = 6.5, current density = 15 mA cm−2, contact time = 25 min, H2O2 concentration of 1.0 mM, and CoFe2O4@AC dose = 0.3 g L−1. Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption experimental data was best fitted by the pseudo-first-order model.

Abstract
Cellulose as an eco-friendly material is extensive in the nature. In this study, modified cellulose-based complex particle (MCCP) was produced through hydrothermal carbonization with methacrylic acid in the stirring and sand bath circumstance. The activated modified carbon-based porous particle (AMCCP) was prepared by treating with potassium hydroxide at high temperature, showing higher efficiency in removing neonicotinoids than MCCP. The AMCCP was fully characterized via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis showed the prepared AMCCP has smaller aggregated particles with higher surface area than MCCP. The adsorption kinetic and the adsorption isotherm of AMCCP were studied, revealing that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model correlated with the experimental data better. The maximum adsorption capacity of AMCCP is 142.36 mg/g for acetamiprid. The adsorption process is spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic in nature. After five regeneration time, the adsorption efficiency of the AMCCP is still over 95%.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a green biopolymer suitable for heavy metal ion removal from aqueous solution due to its nano-porous microstructure. Polyethyleneimine-bacterial cellulose (PEI-BC) was prepared by reductive amination of dialdehyde BC with polyethyleneimine. The capacity of PEI-BC in Cu(II) and Pb(II) adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorption kinetics could be well expressed by pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption isotherm data were well fitted with Freundlich model. Adsorption processes of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PEI-BC reached equilibrium very rapid in 30 and 60min, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of PEI-BC on Cu(II) and Pb(II) was found to be 148 and 141mg/g, respectively, which was higher than that of unmodified BC and other modified BC reported. PEI-BC also showed good reusability in the adsorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II). This study demonstrates that polyethyleneimine modification makes BC a potential bioadsorbent for heavy metal ion removal in waste water.

Abstract
Cellulose is a biodegradable, renewable, non-meltable polymer which is insoluble in most solvents due to hydrogen bonding and crystallinity. Natural cellulose shows lower adsorption capacity as compared to modified cellulose and its capacity can be enhanced by modification usually by chemicals. This review focuses on the utilization of cellulose as an adsorbent in natural/modified form or as a precursor for activated carbon (AC) for adsorbing substances from water. The literature revealed that cellulose can be a promising precursor for production of activated carbon with appreciable surface area (∼1300m(2)g(-1)) and total pore volume (∼0.6cm(3)g(-1)) and the surface area and pore volume varies with the cellulose content. Finally, the purpose of review is to report a few controversies and unresolved questions concerning the preparation/properties of ACs from cellulose and to make aware to readers that there is still considerable scope for future development, characterization and utilization of ACs from cellulose.

Abstract
Adsorbent sponges for water remediation were prepared using TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs) as three-dimensional scaffolds, and branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI, 25 KDa) as the cross-linking agent. TOCNFs were suspended in aqueous solution in the presence of variable amounts of bPEI. The mixtures were first freeze-dried and then thermally treated (from 60 to 102 °C over 10 h) promoting the formation of amide bonds between the carboxylic groups of TOCNF and the primary amines of bPEI. The resulting materials, which were characterized by FTIR and 13 C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and elemental analysis, showed higher chemical and mechanical stability in water than non-reticulated cellulose composites. The high adsorption capability of the new sponges was verified for different organic pollutants (p-nitrophenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, and amoxicillin), and heavy metal ion pollutants (Cu, Co, Ni, Cd), indicating their potential for water decontamination.
