Abstract
Selective adsorption of heavy metal ions from industrial effluent is important for healthy ecosystem development. However, the selective adsorption of heavy metal pollutants by biochar using lignin as raw material is still a challenge. In this paper, the lignin carbon material (N-BLC) was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal carbonization method using paper black liquor (BL) as raw material and triethylene diamine (TEDA) as nitrogen source. N-BLC (2:1) showed excellent selectivity for Cr(VI) in the binary system, and the adsorption amounts of Cr(VI) in the binary system were all greater than 150 mg/g, but the adsorption amounts of Ca(II), Mg(II), and Zn(II) were only 19.3, 25.5, and 6.3 mg/g, respectively. The separation factor (SF) for Cr(VI) adsorption was as high as 120.0. Meanwhile, FTIR, elemental analysis and XPS proved that the surface of N-BLC (2:1) contained many N- and O- containing groups which were favorable for the removal of Cr(VI). The adsorption of N-BLC (2:1) followed the Langmuir model and its maximum theoretical adsorption amount was 618.4 mg/g. After 5th recycling, the adsorption amount of Cr(VI) by N-BLC (2:1) decreased about 15%, showing a good regeneration ability. Therefore, N-BLC (2:1) is a highly efficient, selective and reusable Cr(VI) adsorbent with wide application prospects.

Hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous medium by ternary nanoadsorbent: A study of kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamic mechanism. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0290234. [PMID: 38134202 PMCID: PMC10745142 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0290234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Although many studies have focused on chromium removal from aqueous media by ternary Nano adsorbents, still the integrated kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamic mechanisms of chromium removal remain unknown. Thus in this study, we have synthesized a novel ternary oxide nanocomposite comprising iron, manganese, and stannous (Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2) in a facile method as a promising adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from an aqueous medium. The Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 system was firstly characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, and SEM/EDX. The effect of parameters, for instance, pH, temperature, initial Cr(VI) intensity, and adsorbent dose, have been examined to optimize the Cr(VI) adsorption performance. The adsorption of Cr(VI) onto Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 nanoadsorbent is associated with an adsorption/reduction mechanism. Using an initial Cr(VI) intensity of 50 mg L-1, 200 rpm agitation, 2.5-g L-1 of adsorbent, pH 2, 90 minutes adsorption time, and 298 K temperature, a maximum adsorption capability of 69.2 mg Cr(VI) g-1 for Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 was obtained. Models of pseudo-2nd-order kinetics and Langmuir's isotherm were best suited to the investigated data. Besides, thermodynamic parameters show that Cr(VI) adsorption onto Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 was random and dominated by entropy. The reusability of Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 was found to be consistently high (remaining above 80% for Cr(VI)) over four adsorption-desorption cycles. Chromium adsorption from the tannery wastewater was achieved 91.89% on Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2. Therefore, Fe2O3-MnO2-SnO2 nanoparticles, being easy to be synthesized, reusable and having improved adsorption capability with higher surface area, could be a desirable option for removing Cr(VI) from aqueous environments.

Abstract
This study is the first to explore the possibility of utilizing CuCr LDH decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and graphene oxide (GO) as sonophotocatalysts for the degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP). CuCr LDH and its nanocomposites were successfully fabricated and characterized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) both evidenced the formation of randomly oriented nanosheet structures of CuCr LDH coupled with thin and folded sheets of GO and rGO. The impact of diverse processes on the degradation efficiency of DMP in the presence of the so-prepared catalysts was compared. Benefiting from the low bandgap and high specific surface area, the as-obtained CuCr LDH/rGO represented outstanding catalytic activity (100 %) toward 15 mg L-1 of DMP within 30 min when subjected to light and ultrasonic irradiations simultaneously. Radical quenching experiments and visual spectrophotometry using an O-phenylenediamine revealed the crucial role of hydroxyl radicals compared to holes and superoxide radicals. Overall, outcomes disclosed that CuCr LDH/rGO is a stable and proper sonophotocatalyst for environmental remediation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 447:130732. [PMID: 36641846 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Here, the hybrid material of polyaniline/layered double hydroxide@carbonnanotubes (PANI/LDH@CNT) is considered a multifunctional material. Instrumental methods, including FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM, and TGA/DTA were utilized to characterize PANI/LDH@CNT. The polymerization method created PANI/LDH@CNT as an adsorbent to remove toxic iodine in hexane solution with a capture capacity of 303.20 mg g-1 during 9 h. It is 900 mg g-1 in the vapor phase within 24 h. After three cycles, the PANI/LDH@CNT could be regenerated while maintaining 91.90 % iodine adsorption efficiency. Due to the presence of free amine (-N) groups, OH-, CO2H, and π-π conjugated structures in the PANI/LDH@CNT, it is also explored for efficient iodine uptake. It was demonstrated that the pseudo-first-order (PFO) and Langmuir model had the optimum correlation with the kinetic and isotherm data, respectively. Moreover, the use of PANI/LDH@CNT is not only limited to iodine capture; it can also be utilized as a sensitive sensor that displays a fluorescence "turn-off" response for Mn7+ and Cr6+ ions and a fluorescence "turn-on" response in the case of Al3+ ions. The fluorescence intensity of the PANI/LDH@CNT was turned off in the presence of Mn7+ and Cr6+ because of the fluorescence inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism. In contrast, the fluorescence intensity was turned on in the case of Al3+, relying on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect mechanism. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) of 51, 59, and 81 nM for Mn7+, Cr6+, and Al3+, respectively. According to the literature, this is probably the first example based on PANI/LDH@CNT as a multifunctional hybrid material employed as an adsorbent for capturing radioactive iodine and as a chemosensor for detecting heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions.

Study on adsorption of hexavalent chromium by composite material prepared from iron-based solid wastes. Sci Rep 2023; 13:135.

Abstract
A new adsorbent with chromium removal function was synthesized by carbon thermal method using iron-containing waste Fenton sludge and carbon-containing solid waste fly ash to treat high pH scoring wastewater generated from industrial processes. The results showed that the adsorbent used T = 273.15 K, pH = 10, t = 1200 min, C0 = 100 mg/L, had a removal rate of Cr(VI) of more than 80%, and the adsorption capacity could reach 393.79 mg/g. The characterization results show that the synthesized mesoporous nitrogen-doped composite material has a large specific surface area and mesoporous structure, and the surface of the material is rich in oxygen-containing functional groups and active sites. Compared with other studies, the adsorption capacity of the material is larger, which indicates that the removal effect of Cr(VI) in this study is better. The adsorption kinetic results show that the adsorption follows a pseudo second kinetic model, and the adsorption process is a chemisorption involving electron sharing or electron exchange. This experiment designed a simple method to synthesize mesoporous nitrogen-doped composites using industrial solid waste, with raw materials from cheap and easily available industrial solid waste, and solved the dual problems of heavy metals in wastewater and solid waste, providing a new idea for the resource utilization of Fenton sludge while not producing secondary pollution.

Abstract
Herein, magnetic nitrogen doped porous biochar (Fe/N-PBC) was prepared by mixing KHCO3, K2FeO4 and CO(NH2)2 through one-step pyrolysis, and was employed for adsorbing Cr(VI) and BPA in water. The whole co-activated process was accompanied with pore-forming, carbon thermal reduction and element doping. Specifically, the developed microporous structures and high surface area of Fe/N-PBC (1093.68 m2/g) were achieved under synergistic activation of KHCO3 and K2FeO4. Meanwhile, carbon thermal reduction process successfully converted K2FeO4 to Fe0 with introduction of heterocyclic-N (pyrrolic N and pyridinic N) structures by CO(NH2)2 doping. Fe/N-PBC exhibited outstanding uptake for Cr(VI) (340.96 mg/g) and BPA (355.14 mg/g), and possessed favorable regeneration properties after three cycles. Notably, the high-performance Cr(VI) removal was associated to reduction, electrostatic interaction, complexation, pore filling and ion exchange, while pore filling, hydrogen-bonding interaction and π-π stacking were responsible for BPA binding. This work presents reasonable design of Fe/N-carbon materials for Cr(VI)/BPA polluted water remediation.

Insight into ANN and RSM Models’ Predictive Performance for Mechanistic Aspects of Cr(VI) Uptake by Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocomposites from Water. WATER 2022.

Abstract
Mathematical predictive models are vital tools for understanding of pollutant uptake during adsorptive water and wastewater treatment processes. In this study, applications of CoAl-LDH and its bentonite-CoAl intercalated LDH (bentonite-CoAl-LDH) for uptake of Cr(VI) from water were modeled using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN), and their performance for predicting equilibrium, thermodynamics and kinetics of the Cr(VI) uptake were assessed and compared based on coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE). The uptake of Cr(VI) fits well quartic RSM polynomial models and ANN models based on Levenberg–Marquardt algorithms (ANN-LMA). Both models predicted a better fit for the Langmuir model compared to the Freundlich model for the Cr(VI) uptake. The predicted non-linear Langmuir model contestant (KL) values, for both the RSM and ANN-LMA models yielded better ΔG°, ΔH and ΔS predictions which supported the actual feasible, spontaneous and greater order of reaction as well as exothermic nature of Cr(VI) uptake onto the tested adsorbents. Employing the linear Langmuir model KL values dwindles the thermodynamic parameter predictions, especially for the RSM models. The excellent kinetic parameter predictions for the ANN-LMA models further indicate a mainly pseudo-second-order process, thus confirming the predominant chemisorption mechanism as established by the Cr(VI) speciation and surface charges for the Cr(VI) uptake by both CoAl-LDH and bentonite-CoAl-LDH. The ANN-LMA models showed consistent and insignificant decline in their predictions under different mechanistic studies carried out compared to the RSM models. This study demonstrates the high potential reliability of ANN-LMA models in capturing Cr(VI) adsorption data for LDHs nanocomposite heavy metal uptake in water and wastewater treatment.
