Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128615. [PMID: 38070798 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Nowadays, highly toxic antimony has severely posed threat to water sources and jeopardized human health. Fabricating adsorbents with the capability of easy separation, high efficiency and large adsorption capacity remains a major challenge. In this paper, zirconium functionalized chitosan melamine foam (ZCMF) was fabricated with zirconium and chitosan crosslinked onto melamine foam, then utilized for the removal of antimony(III/V) in water. The characterization of SEM and EDS collectively showed that ZCMF has a porous structure which could boost the mass transfer rate and zirconium ions on the surface could provide plentiful active adsorption sites. Systematic adsorption experiments demonstrated that the experimental data of Sb(III) and Sb(V) were consistent with the pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models, respectively, and the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities were separately 255.35 mg g-1 (Sb(III)) and 414.41 mg g-1 (Sb(V)), which displayed prominent performance among adsorbents derived from biomass. Combining the XPS and FTIR characterization with experimental data, it is rational to speculate that ZCMF could remove Sb from aqueous solution through ligand exchange, electrostatic attraction, and surface complexation mechanisms. ZCMF exhibited excellent performance, including large adsorption capacity, easy separation, facile preparation and eco-friendliness. It could be a promising new adsorbent for the treatment of antimony-containing wastewater.

Abstract
A novel hierarchically nanostructured magnetite (Fe3O4) was manufactured using microwave-assisted reflux method without surfactants. The nanostructured Fe3O4 is formed via the co-precipitation of Fe(III) and Fe(II), followed by a nanocrystal aggregation-based mechanism. Moreover, the effects of solution pH, contact time, initial Sb concentration, coexisting anions, and recycle numbers on the adsorption of nanostructured Fe3O4 toward Sb were extensively examined in the batch adsorption tests. The results demonstrated that the obtained Fe3O4 exhibited excellent adsorption ability toward Sb with the maximum adsorption capacities of 154.2 and 161.1 mg.g-1 for Sb(III) and Sb(V), respectively. The prepared Fe3O4 could be easily regenerated and reused for adsorption/desorption studies multiple times without compromising the Sb adsorption ability. Further exploration indicated that the oxidation or reduction reactions infrequently occurred during Sb adsorption processes. The proposed hierarchically nanostructured Fe3O4 thus could be potentially used for sustainable and efficient antimony removal.

Abstract
The rate at which freshwater sources are being contaminated by mining operations in the South-Western part of Ghana is alarming. However, no study has quantified the degree of contamination of the freshwater in such areas, leaving a gap in the literature that requires immediate attention. This study assessed the quality of the surface and groundwater in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality. Even though the physical parameters such as pH and electrical conductivity were indicative of safe freshwater, other parameters such as turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), and heavy metals in the water sources were high; thus, confirming possible leaching, runoff, and dissolution of the hazardous substances employed in the manganese mining operations. The water quality of 82% of the water sources along the Kawere Stream was low (Classes III and IV). Therefore, the local people are at risk of contracting water-related diseases, and health problems associated with the ingestion of Fe, As, and Mn. The findings in this study are important in establishing the rate at which mining operations are reducing the quality of freshwater in developing countries, and potentially affecting human health.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) has raised widespread concern because of its negative effects on ecology and human health. The extensive use of antimony-containing products and corresponding Sb mining activities have discharged considerable amounts of anthropogenic Sb into the environment, especially the water environment. Adsorption has been employed as the most effective strategy for Sb sequestration from water; thus, a comprehensive understanding of the adsorption performance, behavior and mechanisms of adsorbents benefits to develop the optimal adsorbent to remove Sb and even drive its practical application. This review presents a holistic analysis of adsorbent species with the ability to remove Sb from water, with a special emphasis on the Sb adsorption behavior of various adsorption materials and their Sb-adsorbent interaction mechanisms. Herein, we summarize research results based on the characteristic properties and Sb affinities of reported adsorbents. Various interactions, including electrostatic interactions, ion exchange, complexation and redox reactions, are fully reviewed. Relevant environmental factors and adsorption models are also discussed to clarify the relevant adsorption processes. Overall, iron-based adsorbents and corresponding composite adsorbents show relatively excellent Sb adsorption performance and have received widespread attention. Sb removal mainly depends on chemical properties of the adsorbent and Sb itself, and complexation is the main driving force for Sb removal, assisted by electrostatic attraction. The future directions of Sb removal by adsorption focus on the shortcomings of current adsorbents; more attention should be given to the practicability of adsorbents and their disposal after use. This review contributes to the development of effective adsorbents for removing Sb and provides an understanding of Sb interfacial processes during Sb transport and the fate of Sb in the water environment.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) has been classified as a high-priority contaminant in the environment. Sb contamination resulting from the use of antimony-containing compounds in industry necessitates the development of efficient methods to remove it from water and wastewater. Adsorption is a highly efficient and reliable method for pollutants removal owing to its availability, recyclability, and low cost. Recently, carbonaceous materials and their applications for the removal of Sb from the aqueous matrices have received special attention worldwide. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the occurrence and exposure of Sb in the environment and on human health, respectively. Different carbon-based adsorbents have been classified for the adsorptive removal of Sb and their adsorption characteristics have been delineated. Recent development in the adsorption performance of the adsorbent materials for improving the Sb removal from the aqueous medium has been outlined. Further, to develop an understanding of the effect of different parameters like pH, competitive ions, and dissolved ions for Sb adsorption and subsequent removal have been discussed. A retrospective analysis of literature was conducted to present the adsorption behavior and underlying mechanisms involved in the removal of Sb using various adsorbents. Moreover, this study has identified emerging research gaps and emphasized the need for developing modified/engineered carbonaceous adsorbents to enhance Sb adsorption from various aqueous matrices.

Abstract
Addressing antimony (Sb) contamination, which is caused by the use of Sb compounds in various industries, is crucial. This study aims to compare two different Sb removal mechanisms: ion exchange and chelation. Therefore, two different water-soluble polymers-glycidyl methacrylate-N-methyl-D-glucamine and poly 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride-were synthesized and used to remove Sb(III) and Sb(V) using the polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) method. The removal of Sb(III) was pH-dependent and extremely difficult at a pH of 1.2. However, when the pH of the solution was increased to 11, the Sb(III) removal rate increased to 77%. The Sb(III) removal rate was 28% at an Sb(III):polymer mole ratio of 1:5, which increased to 77% at a mole ratio of 1:20. Sb(III) removal was discovered to be unaffected by the low concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions in the solution, maintaining a Sb(III) removal rate of 77%. The test parameters showed different characteristics for Sb(V) removal. Increasing the pH of the solution from 1 to 9 correspondingly increased the removal rate from 0% to 45%, but increasing it further to 11 decreased the removal rate to 14%. The removal rate of Sb(V) was 67% at a Sb(V):polymer mole ratio of 1:60. Sb(V) removal was discovered to be unaffected by low concentrations of SO42-, NO3-, and PO43- anions in the solution. However, notably, the Sb(V) removal rate decreased from 67% to 58% in the presence of Cl- ions. The results demonstrate that Sb removal via chelation was more effective than by ion exchange, and it remained unaffected by the presence of interfering ions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of porous nanomaterials in the field of environmental remediation. Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF were chosen for their advantages such as structural robustness and ease of synthesis route. The structure of prepared MOFs was characterized using FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The efficiency of MOFs to remove organic model contaminants (anionic Alizarin Red S (ARS) and cationic malachite green (MG) and inorganic fluoride was studied. Fe-MOF and Ni-MOF adsorbed 67, 88, 6% and 32, 5, and 9% of fluoride, ARS, and MG, respectively. Further study on ARS adsorption by Fe-MOF showed that the removal efficiency was high in a wide range of pH from 3 to 9. Moreover, dye removal was directly increased by adsorbent mass (0.1-0.75 g/L) and decreased by ARS concentration (25-100 mg/L). The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model with a qmax of 176.68 mg/g described the experimental data well. The separation factor, KL, was in the range of 0-1, which means the adsorption process was favorable. In conclusion, Fe-MOF showed remarkable adsorption of organic and inorganic model contaminants.

Abstract
As highly toxic and carcinogenic substances, antimony and arsenic often coexist and cause compound pollution. Heavy metal pollution in water significantly threatens human health and the ecological environment. This article elaborates on the sources and hazards of compound antimony and arsenic contamination and systematically discusses the research progress of treatment technology to remove antimony and arsenic in water. Due to the advantages of simple operation, high removal efficiency, low economic cost, and renewable solid and sustainable utilization, adsorption technology for removing antimony and arsenic from sewage stand out among many treatment technologies. The adsorption performance of adsorbent materials is the key to removing antimony and arsenic in water. Therefore, this article focused on summarizing frontier adsorption materials' characteristics, adsorption mechanism, and performance, including MOFs, COFs, graphene, and biomass materials. Then, the research and application progress of antimony and arsenic removal by frontier materials were described. The adsorption effects of various frontier adsorption materials were objectively analyzed and comparatively evaluated. Finally, the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of various frontier adsorption materials in removing antimony and arsenic from water were summarized to provide ideas for improving and innovating adsorption materials for water pollution treatment.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) contamination is a significant environmental issue in mining impacted areas, where the use of nanomaterials to remove such metalloid species has attracted much research attention. In this study, the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) was investigated using a reduced graphene oxide/Fe/Ni (rGO-Fe/Ni NPs) composite. Compared to rGO alone the composite exhibited enhanced removal efficiency. For rGO-Fe/Ni NPs the maximum Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorption capacities were 2.00 and 1.41 mg·g-1, respectively, compared to 1.70 and 1.02 mg·g-1 for Sb(III) and Sb(V), respectively, when using rGO only. This indicated that Fe/Ni enhanced the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V). Advanced characterization via SEM and XPS before and after exposure to Sb indicated that both Sb(III) and Sb(V) were adsorbed on to the surface of rGO-Fe/Ni NPs, followed by oxidation of Sb(III) to Sb(V). Adsorption and oxidation kinetics both conformed to pseudo-second order models, where the mechanism for the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) by rGO-Fe/Ni NPs involved a combination of both adsorption and oxidation. Moreover, the practical adsorption capacity of rGO-Fe/Ni was not limited to Sb, since in a real mining wastewater; containing a mixture of metal(loid)s, while rGO-Fe/Ni exhibited a Sb adsorption capacity of 1.59 mg·g-1, it also exhibited similar adsorption capacities for As (2.61 mg·g-1), Pb (2.41 mg·g-1), and Cd (1.25 mg·g-1). The composite was also highly reusable with a removal efficiency for Sb(III) as high as 72.7% after 4 cycles of use. Thus, rGO-Fe/Ni NPs has significant potential for the practical removal of Sb species and other heavy metal(loid)s in mining impacted wastewaters.

[PMID: 35101497 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153529] [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: 10/23/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Effective removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) has long been an urgent task for protecting human health and environment. In this study, novel magnetic mesoporous FeMn binary oxides (MMFMs) were fabricated via calcinating the Mn encapsulated carboxymethyl cellulose-Fe(III) hydrogel, and the structure of MMFMs were closely related to the Fe:Mn ratio. Owing to the mesoporous structure together with synergistic effect of FeMn binary component, the MMFMs exhibited excellent mass transfer and adsorption ability to Sb(III) and Sb(V). MMFM3 achieved a maximum Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorption capacity of 281.5 and 204.6 mg/g, respectively. Co-existing anions of Cl-, NO3- and SO42- exhibited marginal influence on the adsorption for both Sb(III) and Sb(V), except the PO43- for Sb(III) and SiO32- or PO43- for Sb(V). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigation revealed that high valence Mn(IV) was mainly responsible for the oxidation transformation of the highly toxic Sb(III) into less toxic Sb(V), while the FeOx content played major role for the adsorption of Sb(V). The generated inner-sphere FeOSb complex between Fe-OH groups and Sb(III/V) dominantly contributed to the removal of Sb(III/V). Overall, mesoporous structure, magnetic separation ability, excellent adsorption performance together with exceptional regeneration properties demonstrated the great potential of MMFMs for Sb(III/V) remediation.

Abstract
This study describes the sustainable and eco-friendly synthesis of the silica-based mesoporous structure from the use of alternative amorphous silica extracted from rice husk ash (RHA). The mesoporous material was called MCM-48 (RHA), and its application as adsorbent to the antimony (Sb) remediation in environmental samples was tested. The adsorbent was prepared by an efficient and sustainable hydrothermal method, which exhibited an amorphous framework with type IV isotherms and type H1 hysteresis, and surface area, total pore volume, and pore diameter values of 820.9 m2 g-1, 0.6 cm3 g-1, and 3.7 nm, respectively. In addition, the MCM-48 (RHA) exhibited a three-dimensional cubic mesostructure (Ia3d space-group symmetry) with a narrow mesopore distribution, uniform spherical particles, and well-defined architecture. Multivariate optimization using a factorial design (24) was employed in the adsorption tests of Sb. The variables evaluated and the optimum conditions obtained were (i) adsorbent mass (45 mg); (ii) adsorption time (115 min); (iii) pH 2; and (iv) Sb initial concentration of 8 mol L-1. In these conditions, we found a maximum adsorption efficiency of Sb in the order of 95%. The adsorbent material proposed in this study proved to be efficient for Sb remediation in water samples under different experimental conditions. A total of five samples were analyzed and Sb concentrations on the order of 8 ppm were added, in which a removal efficiency of Sb raging between 88 and 96% was obtained for the remediation in real samples. In addition, the low cost of the synthesis of MCM-48 (RHA) in combination with its high and fast adsorption capacities offers a great promise for wastewater remediation, which makes it very attractive for environmental approaches.

Abstract
Antimony is present in water by natural causes but is also mobilized in the environment by anthropogenic activities, particularly mining. Considering its toxicological behavior, antimony removal from contaminated groundwater and mine effluents is necessary. In this work, Sb(III) and Sb(V) removal from aqueous solution was studied using a resin prepared from pine bark tannins. Subsequent iron loading of the tannin resin was tested, but this chemical modification was shown not to improve adsorptive properties. Tannin resin (unmodified form) presented a good ability to uptake antimony, with maximum adsorption capacities, evaluated in batch mode, of 30-33 mg g-1 (Sb(III), pH 6) and 16-47 mg g-1 (Sb(V), pH 2), depending on the particle size. The performance of the adsorbent was not affected by high levels of sulfate, which characterize most mining-impacted waters, but depending on Sb-load of the water it could be moderately affected by metal cations coexisting in solution. The applicability of the tannin resin on Sb(III) uptake was confirmed in continuous fixed-bed experiments. Breakthrough curves were obtained for different inlet adsorbate concentrations, bed heights, flow rates and aqueous media (distilled water and a simulated mine effluent). The adsorptive capacity of the tannin resin was practically maintained and adsorbent usage rates as low as 0.11 kg m-3 were determined to treat efficiently (90% removal) 1 mg-Sb(III) L-1 contaminated water. Overall, tannin resin is a bio-derived sorbent that shows affinity for antimony in both redox states, being stable in pH conditions commonly found in Sb-contaminated waters.

Abstract
Water is a supreme requirement for the existence of life, the contamination from the point and non-point sources are creating a great threat to the water ecosystem. Advance tools and techniques are required to restore the water quality and metal-organic framework (MOFs) with a tunable porous structure, striking physical and chemical properties are an excellent candidate for it. Fe-based MOFs, which developed rapidly in recent years, are foreseen as most promising to overcome the disadvantages of traditional water depolluting practices. Fe-MOFs with low toxicity and preferable stability possess excellent performance potential for almost all water remedying techniques in contrast to other MOF structures, especially visible light photocatalysis, Fenton, and Fenton-like heterogeneous catalysis. Fe-MOFs become essential tool for water treatment due to their high catalytic activity, abundant active site and pollutant-specific adsorption. However, the structural degradation under external chemical, photolytic, mechanical, and thermal stimuli is impeding Fe-MOFs from further improvement in activity and their commercialization. Understanding the shortcomings of structural integrity is crucial for large-scale synthesis and commercial implementation of Fe-MOFs-based water treatment techniques. Herein we summarize the synthesis, structure and recent advancements in water remediation methods using Fe-MOFs in particular more attention is paid for adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis with clear insight into the mechanisms involved. For ease of analysis, the pollutants have been classified into two major classes; inorganic pollutants and organic pollutants. In this review, we present for the first time a detailed insight into the challenges in employing Fe-MOFs for water remediation due to structural instability.

Abstract
Metal organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles are recognized for their effective removal of metal ions from aqueous systems. However, the application of nanoparticles in a powder form as synthesized is not practical and recovery is not easy. We prepared a recyclable magnetic MOF nanoparticle phase and used a widely available waste biomass to generate biochar to support magnetic nanoparticles applied in the treatment of aqueous antimony pollution. A mushroom waste biochar was used to support a magnetic UIO-66-2COOH (denoted as BSMU). Adsorption of trivalent antimony (Sb (III)) onto the BSMU was evaluated. The results showed that optimum conditions for preparation of the BSMU were the mass ratio of MMOF to biochar 4:1, the temperature 70 °C, the time 4 h, and the initiator 4 mM. Under such conditions, sorption capacity reached 56.49 mg/g for treatment of Sb (III) solution at 100 mg/L and pH 9.1. Alkaline conditions (such as pH 9.1) are more favorable for adsorption than acidic conditions, and coexisting ions including NO3-, Cl-, SO42-, and PO43- had no significant negative effect in adsorption, and with the use of low dose, higher adsorption density achieved. The adsorption followed a pseudo second order kinetics model and Freundlich isotherm model. It resulted in a higher enthalpy changes (ΔHθ) and activation energy (Ea) of 97.56 and 8.772 kJ/mol, respectively, and enhanced the rate pf random contact between antimony and the BSMU, as indicated by a higher entropy change (ΔSθ) up to 360 J/mol·K. As a result, it readily absorbs antimony. These adsorption properties identified in this study would provide a valuable insights into the application of nanoparticles loaded biochar from abundant biomass in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Technologies for remediation of industrial effluents and natural sources contaminated with antimony - a pollutant of emerging concern - are just emerging. The complex speciation of antimony makes it challenging to devise effective remediation technologies. Antimony is used in several industrial applications and comes into the environment majorly through human induced activities such as antimony mining and other activities involving the use of various products containing antimony. Many researchers are working on the important task of developing methodologies to stop or limit the release of antimony into the environment through these activities. Antimony removal is an important requirement in nuclear industry as well due to the formation of its radioactive isotopes during power plant operations. Thus, better antimony remediation or removal techniques can have wider applications ranging from domestic water treatment and industrial effluent remediation to safe isolation of radioactive waste in the nuclear industry. Proper understanding of the problem is very important in designing the source appropriate remediation technique. Treatment methodologies needed for antimony effluents from antimony mining and smelting industries are different from antimony decontamination in nuclear reactors. The problem of antimony leaching from a polyethylene terephthalate bottle is very much different from the leaching of antimony from mining wastes. Each process necessitates custom-made treatment methodologies by taking into account various factors including the speciation and concentration. The current review is focused on this aspect. The review attempts to bring out a clear understanding on various industry specific sources of antimony pollution and the available antimony removal/remediation technologies.
