ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 257:119334. [PMID: 38838750 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
In this study, bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles were synthesized using the green approach with Piper betle leaves, and the removal efficiency of one of the pharmaceutical compounds, Atorvastatin, was investigated. UV, SEM, FTIR, EDAX, particle size, and zeta potential measurements were used to confirm nanoparticle fabrication. The removal efficiency of Atorvastatin (10 mg/L) by bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles was 67% with a contact time of 30 min at pH 4, the adsorbent dosage of 0.2 g/L, and stirring at 100 rpm. Piper betle bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent stability, reusability, and durability, even after being reused five times. Furthermore, the synthesized bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles demonstrated remarkable antimicrobial properties against gram-negative strains such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, gram-positive strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and fungi such as Aspergillus niger. In addition, the antioxidant properties of the synthesized bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles were assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results indicated that the nanoparticles had good antioxidant activity. Thus, using Piper betle extract to make Cu-Fe nanoparticles made the procedure less expensive, chemical-free, and environmentally friendly, and the synthesized bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles helped remove the pharmaceutical compound Atorvastatin from wastewater.

Removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotic and sulfonated dye by functionalized Persea americana seed powder: Appraisal on phase transfer kinetics, equilibrium, economics, and applications in rural settings. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 261:119727.

Abstract
The study focuses on reactive orange 16 (RO16), a sulfonated dye, and ciprofloxacin (CiP), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic treatment from aquatic surface by adsorption. The functionalized Persea americana seed powder (PASP) was developed by acid hydrolysis technique and investigated for RO16 and CiP removal in batch scale at different concentrations for CiP and RO16, pH (2-8), contact duration and temperature (303-318K). Utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), the generated native PASP were assessed for their morphological characteristics. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was applied to examine the performing characteristics of PASP. Experimental findings with four kinetic mathematical models allowed the estimation of the process involved in the biosorption. The most effective agreement was explained by the pseudo-second-order model and Sips isotherm (Cip = 34.603 mg/g and RO16 = 30.357 mg/g) at 303K temperature. For Cip Process economics of the biosorbent was done, and it was observed that it was less than the readily market-available activated carbon.

Abstract
Leveraging date palm spikelets (DPS) as a precursor, this study developed a DPS-derived composite (ZnO@DPS-AC) for water treatment, focusing on methyl orange (MO) removal. The composite was synthesized through ZnCl2 activation and pyrolysis at 600 °C. Comprehensive characterization was conducted using TGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM/EDS, and pHPZC. Characterization revealed a highly carbonaceous material (> 74% carbon) with significant porosity and surface functional groups. ZnO@DPS-AC demonstrated rapid MO removal, achieving over 45% reduction within 10 min and up to 99% efficiency under optimized conditions. The Langmuir model-calculated maximum adsorption capacity reached 226.81 mg/g at 20 °C. Adsorption mechanisms involved hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and pore filling. The composite showed effectiveness in treating real wastewater and removing other pollutants. This study highlights the potential of agricultural waste valorization in developing efficient, sustainable adsorbents for water remediation, contributing to circular bioeconomy principles.

Garlic Cellulosic Powders with Immobilized AgO and CuO Nanoparticles: Preparation, Characterization of the Nanocomposites, and Application to the Catalytic Degradation of Azo Dyes. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1661.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have attracted specific consideration due to their specific characteristics and uses in several promising fields. In the present study, Chondrilla juncea was employed as a biological extract to facilitate the reduction of copper and silver ions within garlic peel powders. The resulting garlic-CuO and garlic-AgO nanocomposites were characterized using several analytical methods including FTIR, TGA/DTG, SEM, TEM, and XRD analyses. The garlic peel exhibited a rough surface. The nanoparticles were evenly dispersed across its surface. The incorporation of CuO and AgO nanoparticles affected the crystal structure of garlic peel. The establishment of CuO and AgO nanoparticles was evidenced by the highest residual mass values observed for the prepared nanocomposites. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that the prepared nanocomposites had lower thermal stability compared with garlic peel powders. The prepared nanocomposites were used for catalytic degradation of naphthol blue black B and calmagite. The decolorization process depended on the quantity of H2O2, initial concentration of azo dyes, duration of contact, and temperature of the bath. The calculated activation energy (Ea) values for the garlic-CuO nanocomposites were found to be 18.44 kJ mol-1 and 23.28 kJ mol-1 for calmagite and naphthol solutions, respectively. However, those calculated for garlic-AgO nanocomposites were found to be 50.01 kJ mol-1 and 12.44 kJ mol-1 for calmagite and naphthol, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, bare and ionic liquid-modified ZnO nanoparticles have been fabricated using microwave irradiation method. The fabricated nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques, viz. XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, and UV-Visible spectroscopy, and were explored as adsorbent for effective sequestration of azo dye (Brilliant Blue R-250) from aqueous media. Various factors affecting the adsorption efficiency of synthesized nanoparticles (bare/ionic liquid-modified) such as concentration of dye, pH of reaction media, dose of nanoparticles, and reaction time were thoroughly investigated with varying experimental conditions; on a magnetic stirrer and in a sonicator. The results exhibited a high adsorption efficiency of ionic liquid-modified nanoparticles for removal of dye as compared to the bare one. Also, an enhanced adsorption was observed via sonication in comparison with magnetic stirring. Different isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin were elaborated. Evaluation of adsorption kinetics showed a linear pseudo-second-order equation for adsorption process. The exothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption was further confirmed by thermodynamic investigations. As per the results obtained, it is suggested that the fabricated ionic liquid-modified ZnO nanoparticles could successfully remediate the toxic anionic dye from aqueous media. Hence, this system can be utilized for large-scale industrial applications.

Abstract
Synthetic dyes are persistent organic environmental pollutants that can cause extensive damage to living beings and to the ecosystem as a whole. Cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient strategies to deal with this type of pollution are necessary as it commonly resists conventional water treatment methods. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using the aqueous extract from the leaves, stem, and fruits of Leucaena leucocephala (Leucena) were produced and characterized through UV-vis, TEM, EDS, SDL, XPS, XRD, and zeta potential, and they proved to be able to promote adsorption to remediate methylene blue and tartrazine pollution in water. The nanoremediation was performed and did not require direct exposure to sunlight or any special lamp or a specific reduction agent. The AgNPs produced using the extract from the leaves exhibited the best performance in nanoremediation and also presented antioxidant activity that surpassed the one from butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Consequently, it is an interesting nanotool to use in dye nanoremediation and/or as an antioxidant nanostructure.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) and ZnO@AC composite derived from wood sawdust were prepared to be utilized as adsorbents for methyl red (MR) and methyl orange (MO) anionic dyes from the aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity of the AC and ZnO@AC composite toward both dyes was achieved in the strong acidic medium (pH = 3), and under stirring for 60 min. The kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of MR and MO dyes onto the AC and ZnO@AC composite fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model. Furthermore, the intraparticle diffusion and Elovich kinetic models confirmed the adsorption is controlled by external surfaces, and the adsorption is chemisorption process. The isotherm results indicated that the MR and MO dye adsorption occurred via monolayer adsorption, and the estimated maximum adsorption capacities of both dyes onto the ZnO@AC composite were higher than those achieved by AC. Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous. The mechanism for MR, and MO dyes adsorption onto the AC and ZnO@AC composite is proposed to be controlled by electrostatic bonding, π-π interactions, and ion exchange, while H-bonding and n-π interactions were minor contributors. This study reveals the potential use of carbon-based adsorbents derived from wood sawdust for the removal of anionic dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
Bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (BMOFs) have garnered significant attention in the field of environmental remediation due to their more diverse adsorption sites compared to monometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Different energy barriers must be overcome for different metal ions and organic linkers to form MOFs. However, the impact of the synthesis temperature on the crystallization and porosity structure of BMOFs has been rarely studied. In this work, PCN-333 series-based BMOFs with different Fe/Al ratios were prepared by a solvothermal method at temperatures of both 135 and 150 °C. The synthesis temperature and Fe/Al ratio have significant effects on the crystal structure and specific surface area of bimetallic PCN-333, leading to the different adsorption performance of the PCN-333 for Congo red (CR). The Fe/Al-PCN-333-135(3:1) and Fe-PCN-333-150 exhibited the maximum CR adsorption capacities of 3233 and 3933 mg/g, respectively, surpassing the capacities of most previously documented adsorbents. The Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics can well describe the adsorption process of CR on Fe/Al-PCN-333-135(3:1) and Fe-PCN-333-150. Combining the isotherm adsorption behavior with the thermodynamic parameters, CR adsorption on BMOFs is a single-layer endothermic chemical adsorption. Furthermore, Fe/Al-PCN-333-135(3:1) and Fe-PCN-333-150 exhibited regenerability and reusability for three cycles with reasonable efficiency. This work is of great significance in the field of engineering BMOF materials to treat dye wastewater.

Abstract
A composite of chitosan-supported ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO/CS) was green-synthesized via an easy and cost-effective method using Chicory (Cichorium intybus) plant extract. The synthesis was confirmed using uv-vis spectrometry at a λmax of 380 nm, and the surface of the material was characterized via FT-IR spectroscopy, and finally via SEM, which confirmed the distribution of ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of chitosan biopolymer (CS). The synthesized material was applied in the adsorptive removal of residues of the pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) pharmaceutical drug from aqueous media using the batch technique. The material's removal capacity was studied through several adjustable parameters including pH, contact time, the dose of the adsorbent, and the capacity for drug adsorption under the optimal conditions. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to describe the adsorption process. The removal was found to obey the Freundlich model, which refers to a chemisorption process. Different kinetic models were also studied for the removal process and showed that the pseudo-second-order model was more fitted, which indicates that the removal was a chemisorption process. Thermodynamic studies were also carried out. The maximum removal of vitamin B6 by the nano-ZnO/CS composite was found to be 75% at optimal conditions. The results were compared to other reported adsorbents. Reusability tests showed that the nano-ZnO/CS composite can be efficiently reused up to seven times for the removal of PDX drugs from aqueous media.

Abstract
The green-collar strategies for nanomaterial synthesis with novel structural competencies have received significant attention in nanotechnology owing to their potential benefits. The utilization of silica nanoparticles for wastewater treatment through heavy metal ions remediation is the focal point of the present study. With this intent, silica was extracted from bagasse ash by the sol-gel method and modified using chitosan. Chemical and physical characteristics of silica(S), silica/Chitosan (SCs), were reckoned through X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the efficiency of synthesized biomaterials for removing heavy metal ions. Cadmium and Lead from wastewater was evaluated by conducting closed batch experiments. Isotherm and kinetics models were applied to understand the adsorption mechanism. Results of heavy metal ions removal showed that the S possesses the highest removal efficiency of 88% for cadmium. Equilibrium was established within 56 min following a Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order reaction. The synthesized biomaterials were also tested against the fungal (Aspergillus Niger) and bacterial strains (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) to determine their antimicrobial properties Maximum inhibition of 26 mm was shown by SCs for E.coli. Synthesized samples were not so effective for A.niger. The high adsorption potential of silica nanoparticles reveals their potential to treat wastewater containing inorganic pollutants like calcium and lead released from the sugar industry firsthand, thereby building a circular economy by controlling the pollution from source to sink. The synthesized silica nanoparticles and silica/chitosan biomaterials demonstrated high adsorption potential for heavy metal ions, making them promising candidates for integration into Algal Membrane Bioreactors to enhance wastewater treatment efficiency and remove toxic pollutants. Their multifunctional properties, including antimicrobial activity, also offer potential for improving microbial control within AMBRs, ensuring a more effective and sustainable wastewater treatment process.

Synthesis of innovative and sustainable gelatin@graphene oxide-crosslinked-zirconium silicate@gelatin nanobiosorbent for effective biosorption of basic fuchsin dye. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5347. [PMID: 37005421 PMCID: PMC10067947 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-31584-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Most dye stuffs and coloring materials are mainly categorized as hazardous pollutants in water effluents due to their nature as non-biodegradable, highly toxic and extremely carcinogenic. For this reason, rapid and efficient eradication of waste dyes from wastewaters before discharging into water streams must be accomplished by an acceptable approach as adsorption technique. Therefore, the present study is aimed and devoted to synthesize a novel nanobiosorbent from three different constituents, gelatin (Gel) as a sustainable natural product, graphene oxide (GO) as an example of highly stable carbonaceous material and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) as an example of combined metal oxides for the formation of Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel by using formaldehyde (F) as a cross-linkage reagent. Several characterization techniques as FT-IR were employed to identify the incorporated surface reactive Functionalities in Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel as -OH, =NH, -NH2, -COOH and C=O, etc. The morphology for particle shape and size of Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel were confirmed from the SEM and TEM analyses providing 15.75- 32.79 nm. The surface area was determined by the BET and found to correspond to 219.46 m2 g-1. Biosorptive removal of basic fuchsin (BF) pollutant as an example of a widely applicable dye in various activities was monitored and optimized under the influence of pH (2-10), reaction time (1-30 min), initial BF pollutant concentration (5-100 mg L-1), nanobiosorbent dosage (5-60 mg), temperature (30-60 °C) and interfering ions. The maximum biosorptive removal values of BF dye were established as 96.0 and 95.2% using 5 and 10 mg L-1, respectively at the recommended pH 7 condition. The Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the BF dye adsorption onto Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel was taken place via spontaneous and endothermic reaction. Chemisorption is the predominant adsorption mechanism by forming multilayers upon nonhomogeneous surface in accordance with Freundlich model hypothesis. The applicability of the optimized Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel in biosorptive removal of BF pollutant from real water sample was successfully accomplished by the batch technique. Thus, this study clearly shows that Gel@GO-F-ZrSiO4@Gel exhibited significant influences on remediation of industrial effluents containing BF pollutant with superior efficiency.

Abstract
With rapid increase in the human population, a large amount of wastewater is generated every year. The availability of fresh water is decreasing at an alarming rate due to rapid industrialization and agricultural development. Pharmaceutical drugs which are credited for improving standards of life worldwide have emerged as major water contaminants, raising global concern about their potential risk to human health and environment. The presence of pharmaceutical compounds is detected in surface water (sea, river, lakes, etc.), groundwater, effluents from municipal, hospitals, and wastewater treatment plants, and even in drinking water. Efficient removal of pharmaceutical pollutants still remains a challenging task. Many techniques, including photodegradation, photocatalysis, oxidation, reverse osmosis, biodegradation, nanofiltration, adsorption, etc., have been used for the remediation of wastewater. Adsorption of pharmaceutical compounds on nanoadsorbents, as a low-cost and feasible technology, has gained immense popularity for wastewater treatment over the last decade. Adsorption techniques can be integrated with wastewater treatment plants to achieve efficient removal on an industrial level. Herein, we review the literature on the remediation techniques used for the pharmaceutical waste treatment using carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, nanoclay, and new-generation MXenes via adsorption. These materials show excellent adsorptive properties owing to their high surface area, low cost, high porosity, easy functionalization, and high surface reactivity. The adsorption mechanism of the nanoadsorbents and their reusability as a factor of sustainability have also been included in the review. The factors affecting the adsorption, including pH, the concentration of adsorbate, ionic strength, and adsorbate dose, have also been discussed.

Abstract
Despite the importance of thiorphan as a small molecule with vital biological roles, its interactions with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials that are prospective in drug delivery and theranostic applications have not yet been sufficiently explored. Here the impact of surface polarity of different ZnO facets on thiorphan adsorption is studied both experimentally by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretically by force field molecular dynamics (FFMD) and density functional tight binding simulations (DFTB). Polar ZnO surfaces cause the formation of thiorphan nanodots, where the size of the nanodots depends on the direction of dipoles: small (4 nm) nanodots are formed on Zn-face ZnO, while large (25 nm) nanodots are formed on O-face ZnO. Nonpolar ZnO surfaces cause self-assembly into layered nanoislands with characteristic 4 nm layer thickness, which subsequently merge into rigid nanolayers. The self-assembly is shown to be controlled solely by the effect of surface dipole electric field orientation and magnitude, whereas effects of surface chemistry or solution are negligible. The results thus also show a way for controlling the assembly of thiorphan and other molecular nanomaterials for diverse applications.

Abstract
In our work, the transition-metal-oxide precursor (TMO@BC, M = Fe, Co, Ni) has been loaded on the pollen carbon by the hydrothermal method and annealed at different temperatures to generate a composite material of metal oxide and pollen carbon in this study, which can effectively prevent agglomeration caused by a small size and magnetism. The XRD patterns of the samples showed that the as-synthesized metal oxides were γ-Fe2O3, CoO, and NiO. In the 20 mg/L methyl orange adsorption experiment, the adsorption amount of CoO@C at 500 ℃ reached 19.32 mg/g and the removal rate was 96.61%. Therefore, CoO@C was selected for the adsorption correlation-model-fitting analysis, which was in line with the secondary reaction. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2: 0.9683-0.9964), the intraparticle diffusion model, and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model indicated that the adsorption process was the result of both physical and chemical adsorptions, and the judgment was based on the electrostatic action. The adsorption and removal efficiency of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by changing the pH of the reaction was about 80%, so the electrostatic attraction worked, but not the main factor. Recovered by an external magnetic field, the three-time recycling efficiency was still maintained at more than 80%. This novel biomass-derived magnetic porous carbon material embedded with transition-metal-oxide nanoparticles is highly promising for many applications, especially in the field of environmental remediation.

Abstract
Globally, contamination of water by dyes and heavy metals (HMs) is a serious environmental and public health problem due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic nature. It is incumbent to treat innocuously before discharge. It is the first time, hexagonal zinc oxide (ZnO) microstructure are being employeed as a membrane in the simultaneous removal of methyl orange (MO) and chromium (Cr (VI)) from the aqueous solution. The surface chemistry of hexagonal ZnO was characterized for morphology, surface functional groups, crystalline nature, and elemental composition by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Adsorption capacity and removal efficiency was determined by the laboratory batch adsorption experiments, while nonlinear, linear kinetics and isotherm models were fitted to experimental data to investigate the adsorption process. The results exhibited that the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of hexagonal ZnO from the Langmuir isotherm model was 80.39 mg g-1 and 84.10 mg g-1 for MO and Cr (VI) respectively. According to the modeling findings, linear langmuir fitted to the experimental data with R2 0.967 and 0.971 for both MO and Cr (VI) which indicates monolayer physical adsorption of both pollutants has taken place. Whereas, kinetic study showed nonlinear pseudo-second order with R2 0.989 and 0.986 for MO and Cr (VI) model best fitted with the experimental data. The values of thermodynamics parameters Gibbs free energy change ΔG°, heat of enthalpy ΔH° and, heat of entropy ΔS° indicate that spontaneous, endothermic, and irreversible adsorption reactions occurred. Overall, it is concluded from our observations that hexagonal ZnO has the potential to be used as an eco-friendly, cost-effective adsorbent for simultaneous remaoval of both MO and Cr (VI) from water. Findings of the current investigation provide valuable insights for the development of an inexpensive, effective and sustainable filtration method for the treatment of MO and Cr (VI) synergistically.

Abstract
Dye contamination in wastewater affects the photosynthesis of aquatic plants and algae by blocking the sunlight, and it induces toxicity to aquatic organisms, which might result in human health effects. Thus, the treatment of dyes in wastewater is required before discharging into the receiving water for safety purposes. Six dye adsorbent materials bagasse beads (BB), bagasse fly ash beads (BFB), bagasse beads with mixed iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (BBF), bagasse fly ash beads with mixed iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (BFBF), bagasse beads with mixed zinc oxide (BBZ), and bagasse fly ash beads with mixed zinc oxide (BFBZ) were synthesized and investigated using various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy with focused ion beam (FESEM-FIB), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A series of batch experiments on the effects of dosage (0.5-3 g), contact time (3-18 h), temperature (30-80°C), pH (3-11), and initial concentration (30-90 mg/L) were used to investigate reactive blue 4 (RB4) dye removal efficiencies in aqueous solution, and their adsorption isotherms and kinetics were studied for explaining their adsorption patterns and mechanisms. All dye adsorbent materials demonstrated semicrystalline structures, and their surface morphologies had a spherical shape with coarse surfaces. Five main elements of oxygen, carbon, calcium, chlorine, and sodium and six main functional groups of alcohol and carboxylic acid (O-H), carbon dioxide (O=C=O), aromatic groups (C=O and N=O), alkene (C-H), and sodium alginate (C-O-C) were detected in all dye adsorbent materials. For batch tests, they could remove RB4 dye by more than 90%, and BFBF exhibited the highest RB4 dye removal efficiency at 99.36%. Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic models well explained their adsorption patterns and mechanisms, in which BFBF demonstrated a higher maximum adsorption capacity (q m) of 10.277 mg/g than that of other dye adsorbent materials. Therefore, all dye adsorbent materials offer good potential for further industrial applications.

Abstract
The effluents released from textile industries mainly consist of dyes, metals and other pollutants. Dyes often are discharged in wastewater streams causing adverse effect on the environment. To eliminate these harmful dyes, various techniques are emerging out of which nanotechnology is the most reliable and safer. Nanotechnology offers convincing applications in case of environmental and economic concerns. The bio-synthesis of nanoparticles has several advantages over conventional methods and approach towards environment concern as well. Biological method of nanoparticles synthesis is concluded to be the most promising and efficient in action. Bio-synthesised nanoparticles could be used for treatment and decolourisation of dyes in an efficient manner. This review comprises the study of number of bio-synthesised nanoparticles utilised for degradation of various dyes present as pollutants in wastewater. Bio-synthesised nanoparticles such as gold, silver, iron, cobalt, zinc, titanium and molybdenum used for degradation of various dyes have been discussed in this review.

Abstract
Successful synthesis of ZnO-chitosan nanocomposites was conducted for the removal of methylene blue from an aqueous medium. Remarkable performance of the nanocomposites was demonstrated for the effective uptake of the dye, thereby achieving 83.77, 93.78 and 97.93 mg g-1 for the chitosan, 5 wt.% ZnO-Chitosan and 10 wt.% ZnO-Chitosan, respectively. The corresponding adsorption efficiency was 88.77, 93.78 and 97.95 for the chitosan, 5 wt.% ZnO-Chitosan and 10 wt.% ZnO-Chitosan, respectively. Upon regeneration, good reusability of the nanocomposites was manifested for the continuous removal of the dye up to six consecutive cycles. The adsorption process was kinetically described by a pseudo-first order model, while the isotherms were best fitted by the Langmuir model.

Abstract
In this research, mesoporous calcium aluminate nanostructures (meso-CaAl2O4) were synthesized using a citric acid-assisted sol-gel auto-combustion process as the potential adsorbent to eliminate toxic triphenylmethane dye malachite green (MG) from synthetic/real effluent. The surface morphology of meso-CaAl2O4 was highly porous with nanometric size and non-homogeneous surface. The specific surface area, total pore volume, and BJH pore diameter of meso-CaAl2O4 were 148.5 m2 g-1, 1.39 cm3 g-1, and 19 nm, respectively. The meso-CaAl2O4 also showed a very high heat resistance, due to losing only 7.95% of its weight up to 800 °C, which is mainly related to the moisture loss. The optimal adsorption conditions were obtained based on response surface methods (RSM)-central composite design (CCD) techniques. The Langmuir isotherm model was used for fitting the adsorption measurements, which presented 587.5 mg g-1 as the maximum adsorption capacity of the dye. The data obtained from the adsorption kinetics model were found to correspond to the pseudo-second-order model. Also, the thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy change (ΔH°), entropy change (ΔS°), and Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) indicated that MG dye adsorption by the meso-CaAl2O4 was feasible, endothermic, and occurred spontaneously. Furthermore, the meso-CaAl2O4 was regenerated by microwave irradiation under 900 W at 6 min, and the MG dye removal efficiency was remained over 90% after the five cycles of microwave regeneration.

Abstract
The azo dyes released into water from different industries are accumulating in the water bodies and bioaccumulating within living systems thereby affecting environmental health. This is a major concern in developing countries where stringent regulations are not followed for the discharge of industrial waste into water bodies. This has led to the accumulation of various pollutants including dyes. As these developing countries also face acute water shortages and due to the lack of cost-effective systems to remove these pollutants, it is essential to remove these toxic dyes from water bodies, eradicate dyes, or generate fewer toxic derivatives. The photocatalysis mechanism of degradation of azo dyes has gained importance due to its eco-friendly and non-toxic roles in the environment. The zinc nanoparticles act as photocatalysts in combination with plant extracts. Plant-based nanoparticles over the years have shown the potential to degrade dyes efficiently. This is carried out by adjusting the dye and nanoparticle concentrations and combinations of nanoparticles. Our review article considers increasing the efficiency of degradation of dyes using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and understanding the photocatalytic mechanisms in the degradation of dyes and the toxic effects of these dyes and nanoparticles in different tropic levels.

Abstract
In this investigation, Pergularia tomentosa leaves were used as a promising source of bioproducts for the reduction of copper sulfate into copper oxide nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FI-IR showed the presence of hydroxyl, ester, and aromatic groups, which are characteristics of phenolics and other bioproducts. SEM features exhibited spherical and agglomerated particles. In EDX data, the peak at 1 Kev, is an index of metallic nanoparticles of copper. The signals related to C and O peaks indicated the presence of phytochemicals in the studied extract. The synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles had a face-centered cubic structure. The size of the nanoparticles varied from 1.7 to 15.2 nm. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue using copper oxide nanoparticles reached 93.2 mg/g (pH = 6, T = 22 °C, adsorbent dose = 0.0125 g). Additionally, methylene blue solution was completely decolorized after 2 min of reaction (pH = 6, 0.0057 mg NaBH4, C0 = 10 mg/L, catalyst = 0.005 g). NOVELTY STATEMENTIn this study, Pergularia tomentosa leaves were used, for the first time, as a biomaterial rich in bioproducts for the reduction of copper sulfate into copper oxide nanoparticles. The prepared particles act as promising materials for the decolorization of contaminated water via both adsorption and degradation processes.

[PMID: 35478660 PMCID: PMC9033486 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra01599k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This study presents the modification of cassava root husk-derived biochar (CRHB) with ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) for the simultaneous adsorption of As(iii), Cd(ii), Pb(ii) and Cr(vi). By conducting batch-mode experiments, it was concluded that 3% w/w was the best impregnation ratio for the modification of CRHB using ZnO-NPs, and was denoted as CRHB-ZnO3 in this study. The optimal conditions for heavy metal adsorption were obtained at a pH of 6–7, contact time of 60 min, and initial metal concentration of 80 mg L−1. The heavy metal adsorption capacities onto CRHB-ZnO3 showed the following tendency: Pb(ii) > Cd(ii) > As(iii) > Cr(vi). The total optimal adsorption capacity achieved in the adsorption of the 4 abovementioned metals reached 115.11 and 154.21 mg g−1 for CRHB and CRHB-ZnO3, respectively. For each Pb(ii), Cd(ii), As(iii), and Cr(vi) metal, the maximum adsorption capacities of CRHB-ZnO3 were 44.27, 42.05, 39.52, and 28.37 mg g−1, respectively, and those of CRHB were 34.47, 32.33, 26.42 and 21.89 mg g−1, respectively. In terms of kinetics, both the pseudo-first-order and the pseudo-second-order fit well with metal adsorption onto biochars with a high correlation coefficient of R2, while the best isothermal description followed the Langmuir model. As a result, the adsorption process of heavy metals onto biochars was chemisorption on homogeneous monolayers, which was mainly controlled by cation exchange and surface precipitation mechanisms due to enriched oxygen-containing surface groups with ZnO-NP modification of biochar. The FTIR and EDS analysis data confirmed the important role of oxygen-containing surface groups, which significantly contributed to removal of heavy metals with extremely high adsorption capacities, comparable with other studies. In conclusion, due to very high adsorption capacities for metal cations, the cassava root husk-derived biochar modified with ZnO-NPs can be applied as the alternative, inexpensive, non-toxic and highly effective adsorbent in the removal of various toxic cations. This study presents the modification of cassava root husk-derived biochar (CRHB) with ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) for the simultaneous adsorption of As(iii), Cd(ii), Pb(ii) and Cr(vi).![]()

Abstract
The toxicity of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NaPs) has been tested in different animal models; however, knowledge about their impact on mice remains incipient. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of these nanomaterials on Swiss mice after their individual exposure to a binary combination of them. The goal was to investigate whether short exposure (three days) to an environmentally relevant dose (14.6 ng/kg, i.p.) of these pollutants would have neurotoxic, biochemical and genotoxic effects on the modelss. Data in the current study have shown that the individual exposure of these animals has led to cognitive impairment based on the object recognition test, although the exposure experiment did not cause locomotor and anxiogenic or anxiolitic-like behavioral changes in them. This outcome was associated with increased nitric oxide levels, thiobarbituric acid reactive species, reduction in acetylcholinesterase activity and with the accumulation of nanomaterials in their brains. Results recorded for the assessed parameters did not differ between the control group and the groups exposed to the binary combination of pollutants. However, both the individual and the combined exposures caused erythrocyte DNA damages associated with hypercholesterolemic and hypertriglyceridemic conditions due to the presence of nanomaterials. Based on the results, the toxicological potential of ZnO NPs and PS NaPs in the models was confirmed and it encouraged further in-depth investigations about factors explaining the lack of additive or synergistic effect caused by the combined exposure to the assessed pollutants.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 280:130636. [PMID: 33975237 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Revised: 04/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BiOI, BiOCl, and their composites (BiOI:BiOCl) with molar ratios from 95:5 to 5:95 were synthesized and tested in the transformation of methyl orange (MO) and sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP) antibiotic, using three various LED light sources: UV LEDs (398 nm), cool and warm white LEDs (400-700 nm). The 80:20 BiOI:BiOCl photocatalyst showed the best adsorption capacity for MO and enhanced activity compared to BiOI and BiOCl. The apparent quantum yield (Φapp) of the MO and SMP transformation for cool and warm white light was slightly lower than for 398 nm UV radiation. The effect of methanol and 1,4-benzoquinone proved that the transformation is initiated mainly via direct charge transfer, resulting in the demethylation of MO and SO2 extrusion from SMP. The change of photocatalytic efficiency was followed during three cycles. After the first one, the transformation rates decreased, but there was no significant difference between the second and third cycles. The decreased efficiency is most probably caused by the intermediates, whose continuous accumulation was observed during the cycles. Ecotoxicity measurements confirmed that no toxic substances were leached from the catalyst, but the transformation of both MO and SMP results in toxic intermediates. Using 80:20 BiOI:BiOCl and LED light source, the energy requirement of the removal is about half of the value determined using TiO2 and a mercury vapor lamp. The effect of some components of wastewater (Cl-, HCO3- and humic acids), pH, and two matrices on the composite photocatalysts' efficiency and stability were also investigated.

Abstract
In this research, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were prepared via a facile one-pot chemical precipitation approach and applied in the adsorption of bromophenol blue (BRB) and as antifungal agents against the filamentous fungi and plant pathogens; Alternaria alternata CGJM3078, Alternaria alternata CGJM3006 and Fusarium verticilliodes CGJM3823. The ZnONPs were characterized by the UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, and EDX techniques, which showed efficient synthesis. The characteristics ZnO UV-Vis absorption band was observed at 375 nm, while the XRD showed an average ZnONPs crystalline size of 47.2 nm. The SEM and TEM images showed an irregular shaped and aggregated porous structure of 65.3 nm average-sized ZnONPs. The TGA showed 22.9% weight loss at 800 °C indicating the high thermal stability of ZnONPs, while BET analysis revealed a surface area, pore volume and pore diameter of 9.259 m2/g, 0.03745 cm3/g and 9.87 nm respectively. The Freundlich, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion models showed R2 > 0.9494 and SSE < 0.7412, thus, exhibited the best fit to the isotherm and kinetics models. Thermodynamics revealed feasible, endothermic, random, and spontaneous adsorption of BRB onto the synthesized ZnONPs. The antifungal assay conducted depicts strong antifungal activities against all three tested fungi. Noticeably, ZnONPs (0.002-5 mg/mL) showed maximum activities with the largest zone of inhibition against A. alternata CGJM 3006 from 25.09 to 36.28 mm. This was followed by the strain F. verticilliodes CGJM 3823 (range from 23.77 to 34.77 mm) > A. alternata CGJM3078 (range from 22.73 to 30.63 mm) in comparison to Bleach 5% (positive control). Additionally a model was proposed based on the possible underlying mechanisms for the antifungal effect. This research demonstrated the potent use of ZnONPs for the adsorption of BRB and as effective antifungal agents.

Abstract
In this study, Pb doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel technique for the sorption of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) textile dye in aqueous solution. The ZnO:Pb (2 and 4%) nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and cryogenic nitrogen adsorption method. The average size of the synthesized nanoparticles was less than 100 nm and the surface areas were 18.8 and 20.8 m2/g, respectively for ZnO:Pb 2% and ZnO:Pb 4%. Batch sorption experiments were performed for color removal of RB5 dye at ambient temperature and 30 mg/L dye concentration. The central composite design with response surface methodology was used to study the effect of sorption condition (pH, nanoparticles dose and contact time). The significance of independent variables and their interactions was tested by analysis of variance. The optimum conditions of color removal were pH = 7, 2 g/L dose of nanoparticles and a contact time of 79 min. The color removal performance was 79.4 and 98.1% for ZnO:Pb 2 and 4% respectively. The pseudo-second-order model described well the removal rates while the Langmuir model fitted well the adsorption isotherms.

Abstract
The TiO2/C composites with approximately 40 wt% of carbon were prepared by calcination of precursors, formed from a one-pot liquid phase reaction between Ti(SO4)2 and flour. All TiO2/C composites displayed mesoporous structures with high BET surface areas (117-138 m2 g-1) and small crystal sizes of TiO2 (8-27 nm). The contents of graphitic carbon and rutile TiO2 increased, while the surface area and TiO2 crystal size decreased for the TiO2/C composite on increasing the calcination temperature from 650 to 800 °C; when calcinated at 800 °C, the anatase TiO2 completely changed into rutile TiO2 in the TiO2/C composite. The TiO2/C composite calcinated at higher temperatures exhibited better adsorptive and photocatalytic degradation performance in the removal of methylene blue (MB). For the entire rutile TiO2/C-800 composite, the adsorption process of MB can be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and is governed by chemical adsorption with the maximum adsorption capacity value equal to about 15 mg g-1. Under continuous illumination with a 254 nm UV lamp (15 W) for 3 h, the percentage of MB (14 mg l-1) photocatalytic degradation on 50 mg of TiO2/C-800 was 25.1% higher than that of the maximum adsorption removal. These results suggest that the graphitized carbon has a significant effect on the adsorptivity and photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/C composite.

Abstract
The adsorption-desorption behavior of methylene blue, acid orange 7, bisphenol A, and phenol on the synthesized graphene-based nanomaterials were studied. For this purpose, adsorption experiments were conducted in a batch setup and different parameters such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dose concentration, and initial micropollutant concentration were considered. In addition, linear and nonlinear kinetic and isotherm models were evaluated. The nonlinear pseudo-second-order models (R2 > 0.98), Elovich kinetic models (R2 > 0.94), and Langmuir isotherm models (R2 > 0.98) best fitted the experimental data. Because of the high specific surface area and the type of oxygen functional groups, mechanochemically synthesized graphite oxide exhibited high adsorption capacities for methylene blue, acid orange 7, bisphenol A, and phenol, with a maximum uptake of 288, 232, 110, and 68 mg g-1, respectively. Furthermore, the total costs of applying the mechanochemically synthesized graphite oxide were estimated in the adsorption process, revealing that these nanomaterials offer better uptake values than porous carbon.

Synthesis, characterization, and regeneration of an inorganic-organic nanocomposite (ZnO@biomass) and its application in the capture of cationic dye. Sci Rep 2020; 10:14441.

Abstract
Despite the efficiency of ZnO nanoparticle (NPs) composite adsorbents in the adsorption of various pollutants, there is presently no report on the combo of ZnONPs with biomass for adsorption. Besides, there is a dearth of information on the biosorption of celestine blue (CEB), a dye used in the nuclear and textile industry. In this study, biogenic-chemically mediated synthesis of a composite (ZnO@ACP) was prepared by the impregnation of ZnONPs onto Ananas comosus waste (ACP) for the adsorption of CEB. The SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, BET, and TGA characterizations showed the successful presence of ZnONPs on the biomass to form a nanocomposite. The uptake of CEB was enhanced by the incorporation of ZnONPs on ACP. A faster CEB adsorption onto ZnO@ACP (120 min) compared to ACP (160 min) was observed. The Langmuir (R2 > 0.9898) and pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.9518) models were most appropriate in the description of the adsorption process. The impregnation of ZnONPs onto the biomass enhanced the spontaneity of the process and displayed endothermic characteristics. High CEB desorption of 81.3% from the dye loaded ZnO@ACP as well as efficient reusability showed the efficacy of the prepared nanocomposite for CEB adsorption.

Abstract
In this investigation, the color removal from synthetic wastewaters containing Acid Blue 29 (AB 29) dye was investigated by ZnF-based nanomaterials (ZnFe2O4) synthesized by the coprecipitation method in a batch system. SEM, FT–IR, and XRD analysis were used for the characterization of the nanoparticles (before and after adsorption), and the analysis results were compared with each other. The parameters such as pH, temperature, dye concentration, and nanoparticle dosage affecting color removal were examined systematically, and favorable color removal conditions were determined by the classical approach. From the experimental results, the favorable conditions with high removal efficiency for the adsorption were determined: removal temperature 35°C and the removal pH 2.0. At these experimental conditions, the adsorbed dye amount per unit mass of adsorbent and the percentage dye removal were determined as 1489.79 mg·g−1 and 98.83%, respectively. In the other part of the research, three different isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin) were used to examine the adsorption equilibrium data. Langmuir and especially Freundlich linear isotherm models provided the highest R2 regression coefficients, successfully. The kinetic data was evaluated by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic model approach. It was observed that pseudo-second-order kinetic model best represented AB 29-ZnF adsorption kinetic data. The determined thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG were proved that the AB 29-ZnF adsorption system was an exothermic (ΔH < 0), spontaneous, thermodynamically favorable (ΔG < 0), and stabilized system without any structural changes in sorbate and sorbents (ΔS<0).

Abstract
The shortage of water resources and increasingly serious water pollution have driven the development of high-efficiency water treatment technology. Among a variety of technologies, adsorption is widely used in environmental remediation. As a class of typical adsorbents, metal oxides have been developed for a long time and continued to attract widespread attention, since they have unique physicochemical properties, including abundant surface active sites, high chemical stability, and adjustable shape and size. In this review, the basic principles of the adsorption process will be first elucidated, including affecting factors, evaluation index, adsorption mechanisms, and common kinetic and isotherm models. Then, the adsorption properties of several typical metal oxides, and key parameters affecting the adsorption performance such as particle/pore size, morphology, functionalization and modification, supports and calcination temperature will be discussed, as well as their application in the removal of various inorganic and organic contaminants. In addition, desorption and recycling of the spent adsorbent are summarized. Finally, the future development of metal oxide based adsorbents is also discussed.

Numerous methods are available for the removal of dyes from water.
Adsorption, being a superior and eco-friendly technique, has advantage of eliminating organic dyes
because of the availability of materials as adsorbents. The inexpensive nanomaterials are a more attractive
choice for remediation of various dyes due to their unique properties and offer an adequate
pathway to adsorb any organic dye from water to overcome its hazardous effects on human health.
Results:
In this review, we have discussed the latest literature related to various types of synthesis,
characterization and uses as adsorbent for highly adsorptive removal capacity of nanoparticles for organic
dyes.
Conclusion:
Adsorption technology provides an attractive pathway for further research and improvement
in more efficient nanoparticles, with higher adsorption capacity, for numerous dyes to
eliminate the dyes discharged from various industries and thus reduce the contamination of water.
Therefore, nanocomposites may contribute to future prospective water treatment process.
