Li W, Tong J, Li G. Graphene oxide intercalated Alk-MXene adsorbents for efficient removal of Malachite green and Congo red from aqueous solutions. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142376. [PMID: 38777197 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142376] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Currently, adsorbents with high adsorption performance for eliminating pollutants from discharged wastewater have received many researchers' attention. To this aim, a novel AMXGO absorbent was fabricated by intercalating graphene oxide (GO) into alkalized MXene (Alk-MXene) layer which exhibited high efficacy for the removal of cationic Malachite Green (MG) and anionic Congo Red (CR). Analysis of FTIR, XRD, SEM and TG presented that AMXGO absorbent have a typical three-dimensional layer by layer structure and abundant oxygen-containing groups and its thermal stability was remarkably improved. BET results elucidated that AMXGO1 adsorbent has larger specific surface area and pore volume (16.686 m2 g-1, 0.04733 cm3 g-1) as compared to Alk-MXene (4.729 m2 g-1, 0.02522 cm3 g-1). A dependence of adsorption performance on mass ratio between Alk-MXene and GO, initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature and pH was revealed. Maximum adsorption capacity of MG (1111.6 mg/g) and CR (1133.7 mg/g) were particularly found for AMXGO1 absorbent with a mass ratio of 3:1 and its removal for both dyes were higher than 92%. The adsorption process of AMXGO1 adsorbent for both MG and CR complies with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. In addition, adsorption mechanism was explored that synergism effects as electrostatic attraction, π-π conjugates, intercalation adsorption and pore filling were the main driving force for the high adsorption performance of dye. Therefore, AMXGO adsorbent has a potential application prospect in the purification of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Ultrasonic extraction of Osmanthus fragrans was used for reducing Ag+ to prepare AgNPs, which were further loaded on barley distiller's grains shell biochar. By supplementary of sodium alginate and tannic acid, composite gel beads were prepared. The physical properties of biochar-based AgNPs‑sodium alginate-tannic acid composite gel beads (C-Ag/SA/TA) were characterized. SEM, FTIR, and XRD showed that biochar-based AgNPs were compatible with sodium alginate-tannic acid. CAg greatly improved the dissolution, swelling, and expansion of gel beads. Through the analysis by the agar diffusion method, C-Ag/SA/TA gel beads had high antibacterial activity (inhibition zone: 22 mm against Escherichia coli and 20 mm against Staphylococcus aureus). It was observed that C-Ag/SA/TA composite gel beads had high antioxidant capacity and the free radical scavenging rate reached 89.0 %. The dye adsorption performance of gel beads was studied by establishing a kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities of C-Ag/SA/TA gel beads for methylene blue and Congo red were 166.57 and 318.06 mg/g, respectively. The removal rate of Cr(VI) reached 96.4 %. These results indicated that the prepared composite gel beads had a high adsorption capacity for dyes and metal ions. Overall, C-Ag/SA/TA composite gel beads were biocompatible and had potential applications in environmental pollution treatment.

Exploring the structural characteristics and dye removal capabilities of powder-, granule- and film- shaped magnetic activated carbon derived from Oleaster seed.

Abstract
Dye pollution in water caused by excessive discharge of industrial effluent has become a major environmental problem in recent decades because of its irreversible effects on human health. In this study, low-cost carbon-based adsorbents synthesized from Oleaster seed (OS) were prepared in three forms of powder (PAC), film (FAC), and granule (GAC) and used for the removal of methylene blue dye. The properties of the synthesized adsorbents were characterized by SEM-EDX, BET, XPS and FTIR analyses. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of PAC, FAC, and GAC adsorbents were obtained as 68.49, 32.25, and 15.10 mg/g, respectively at the optimum experimental conditions of pH = 10, adsorbent dosages of 0.5, 1, and 2 g/l, contact times of 60, 90, and 120 min, dye concentration of 10 mg/L, and temperature of 25°C. The Langmuir isotherm well described the equilibrium data for all three adsorbents. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit with the adsorption data obtained from all three adsorbents. Adsorption occurred spontaneously through a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms, with a thermodynamically exothermic process. The desorption experiments demonstrated that all the adsorbents have substantial potential for recovery. The novel activated carbon/alginate composite films are proposed as more promising biosorbents to remove MB dye from the aquatic environment compared to GAC adsorbents.

Abstract
MXenes are a recently emerging class of two-dimensional nanomaterials that have gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Owing to their high surface area, abundant terminal groups, and unique two-dimensional layered structures, MXenes have demonstrated high efficacy as adsorbents for various pollutants. Here we focused on the latest developments in the field of MXene-based adsorbents, including the structure and properties of MXenes, their synthesis and modification methods, and their adsorption performance and mechanisms for various pollutants. Among the pollutants that have been reported to be adsorbed by MXenes are radionuclides (U(VI), Sr(II), Cs(I), Eu(III), Ba(II), Th(IV), and Tc(VII)/Re(VII)), heavy metals (Hg(II), Cu(II), Cr(VI), and Pb(II)), dyes, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics (tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and sulfonamides), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and other contaminates. Moreover, future directions in MXene research are also suggested in this review.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 350:141058.

Abstract
In this study, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-modified multi-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene (CMM) was produced using a Ti3AlC2 precursor, and its capacity to remove the anionic dye, methyl orange (MO), was investigated in detail. An electrostatic combination between negatively charged Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and cationic surfactant solution (CTAB) produced this adsorbent. This triggered an exposure of the accessible active sites to further boost adsorption effectiveness by increasing the distance between the MXene nanosheets. Prepared adsorbents were characterized using some analytical techniques, including TGA, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and N2 adsorption-desorption. Furthermore, some influencing parameters such as contact time, solution of pH, loading adsorbent, and initial dye concentration were evaluated, with findings showing that MO could adsorb CMM to its maximum capacity at an adsorbent dosage of 0.83 g/L, a contact time of 90 min, and a solution pH of 3. Adsorption results were found to be highly linked with both Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9990) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9924). The maximum adsorption capacity of MO was obtained at approximately 213.00 mg/g. Also, hydrogen bonding, π-cation interactions, and electrostatic adsorption can all be implicated in the mechanism of MO adsorption on CMM. The fabricated CMM is presented as a prospective adsorbent for the removal of dyes from polluted water, demonstrating robust recyclability for up to the fifth iteration. All these outstanding properties indicate that cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-modified multi-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene can be considered as applicable adsorbents for textile pollutants.

Abstract
Dyes are frequently used in industries such as textile, leather, paper and printing, to water sources causes harmful effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, it is crucial to effectively remove colored contaminants from water in order to protect the environment and public health, maintain biodiversity and preserve the esthetic aspects of water resources. In this study, wood chips obtained from Pinus brutia (PB) tree grown in many parts of the world were turned into biochar and then modified and used for the removal of malachite green, a cationic dye. For this purpose, biochar (PBB) was made by collecting PB wood and turning it into chips (PB). Later, PBB was modified to gain nano-magnetic properties. The structure of the obtained PBB and nM-PBB adsorbents was characterized by FT-IR. pH (2-9), temperature (25 °C-55 °C), time change (15 min-240 min), adsorbent amount change (0.05 g-0.45g) and MG concentration (25 mg/L-250 mg/L) were investigated in MG removal of PBB and nM-PBB. The process was found to be pseudo-second-order and spontaneous endothermic reaction. PBB and nM-PBB were found to be suitable for Langmuir isotherm in MG removal (qmax=13.004 mg/g for PBB, qmax=18.215 mg/g for nM-PBB).

Abstract
The volume expansion of CoFe2 O4 anode poses a significant challenge in the commercial application of lithium/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs). However, metal-organic-frameworks (MOF) offer superior construction of heterostructures with refined interfacial interactions and lower ion diffusion barriers in Li/Na storage. In this study, the CoFe2 O4 @carbon nanofibers derived from MOF are produced through electrospinning, in situ growth followed by calcination, which are then confined within an MXene-confined MOF-derived porous CoFe2 O4 @carbon composite architecture under alkali treatment. The CoFe2 O4 nanofibers anchor on the alkalized MXene that is decorated with the NaOH solution to form a multi-pleated structure. The sandwich-like structure of the composite effectively alleviates the volume expansion and shortens the Li/Na-ion diffusion path, which displays high capacity and outstanding rate performance as anode materials for LIBs/SIBs. As a consequence, the obtained CoFe2 O4 @carbon@alkalized MXene composite anode shows satisfied rate performance at current density of 10 A g-1 for LIBs (318 mAh·g-1 ) and 5 A g-1 for SIBs (149 mAh g-1 ). The excellent cycling performance is further demonstrated at a high current density, where it maintains a discharge capacity of 807 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 400 cycles for LIBs and 130 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 even after 1000 cycles for SIBs.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has intensified and accelerated due to a steady increase in the number of industries, and exploring methods to remove hazardous contaminants, which can be typically divided into inorganic and organic compounds, have become inevitable. Therefore, the development of efficacious technology for the separation processes is of paramount importance to ensure the environmental remediation. Membrane and adsorption technologies garnered attention, especially with the use of novel and high performing nanomaterials, which provide a target-specific solution. Specifically, widespread use of MXene nanomaterials in membrane and adsorption technologies has emerged due to their intriguing characteristics, combined with outstanding separation performance. In this review, we demonstrated the intrinsic properties of the MXene family for several separation applications, namely, gas separation, solvent dehydration, dye removal, separation of oil-in-water emulsions, heavy metal ion removal, removal of radionuclides, desalination, and other prominent separation applications. We highlighted the recent advancements used to tune separation potential of the MXene family such as the manipulation of surface chemistry, delamination or intercalation methods, and fabrication of composite or nanocomposite materials. Moreover, we focused on the aspects of stability, fouling, regenerability, and swelling, which deserve special attention when the MXene family is implemented in membrane and adsorption-based separation applications.

Abstract
The removal of methylene blue (MB) in water is a challenging task due to its toxicity, carcinogenicity and resistance to biodegradation. Accordingly, a novel composite catalyst (BC@LF) was prepared by loading lanthanum ferrite (LaFeO3) on biomass carbon (BC) to activate bisulfite (BS) for methylene MB removal in this study. Characterization via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that LaFeO3 was successfully loaded on BC. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggested that [triple bond, length as m-dash]Fe(iii) was the main active site for BS activation. It was found that 99.4% MB was removed within 60 min in BC@LF/BS system. Sulfate radical (SO4˙-) and hydroxyl radicals (HO˙) were proved to be responsible for MB removal in the BC@LF/BS system and SO5˙- might also be involved in MB removal. The degradation efficiency of MB in the BC@LF/BS system decreased with increasing pH, while the adsorption efficiency of BC@LF for MB improved with increasing pH. Additionally, BC@LF exhibited good reusability for BS activation in successive uses. The BC@LF/BS system exhibited favorable removal effect for various organic compounds, indicating that it has good applicability in the treatment of organic wastewater.

Abstract
The rapid increase in the global population and its ever-rising standards of living are imposing a huge burden on global resources. Apart from the rising energy needs, the demand for freshwater is correspondingly increasing. A population of around 3.8 billion people will face water scarcity by 2030, as per the reports of the World Water Council. This may be due to global climate change and the deficiency in the treatment of wastewater. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies fail to completely remove several emerging contaminants, especially those containing pharmaceutical compounds. Hence, leading to an increase in the concentration of harmful chemicals in the human food chain and the proliferation of several diseases. MXenes are transition metal carbide/nitride ceramics that primarily structure the leading 2D material group. MXenes act as novel nanomaterials for wastewater treatment due to their high surface area, excellent adsorption properties, and unique physicochemical properties, such as high electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity. MXenes are highly hydrophilic and covered with active functional groups (i.e., hydroxyl, oxygen, fluorine, etc.), which makes them efficient adsorbents for a wide range of species and promising candidates for environmental remediation and water treatment. This work concludes that the scaling up process of MXene-based materials for water treatment is currently of high cost. The up-to-date applications are still limited because MXenes are currently produced mainly in the laboratory with limited yield. It is recommended to direct research efforts towards lower synthesis cost procedures coupled with the use of more environmentally friendly materials to avoid secondary contamination.

Abstract
In this work, xanthan gum-based composites were successfully graft-modified by amantadine (XG-Fe3+/AM) with higher adsorption capacity and selectivity on recycling cationic dye (methylene blue, MB) from aqueous solution. The adsorption equilibrium of MB could be achieved approximately within 5 min when the initial concentration was 100 mg/L, and the maximum adsorption capacity was up to 565 mg/g. After 5 desorption-regeneration cycles, the removal rate of XG-Fe3+/AM for MB could still be as high as 95 % with slight decrement. Additionally, the effects of pH, contact time, temperature and initial dye concentration on the adsorption performance of MB were systematically examined. Furthermore, the adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR, BET and XPS analysis. In mixed anionic and cationic dyes, the adsorption selectivity of XG-Fe3+/AM on MB in the mixture of MB and methyl orange (MO) reached up to 99.69 %. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the trend of adsorption energy for dyes was in good agreement of the experimental order of adsorption capacities and molecular sizes among seven anionic and cationic dyes based on molecular matching effect and electrostatic interaction. Therefore, XG-Fe3+/AM is an eco-friendly, facile-synthesis and high-selectivity adsorbent, which remove cationic dyes in multi-component systems through electrostatic interaction and molecular matching effect.

Abstract
Recently, Fenton-like systems have been widely explored and applied for the removal of organic matter from wastewater. Two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based materials exhibit excellent adsorption and catalysis capacity for organic pollutants removal, which has been reported widely. However, there is no summary on the application of MXene-based materials in Fenton-like systems for organic matter removal. In this review, four types of MXene-based materials were introduced, including 2D MXene, MXene/Metal complex, MXene/Metal oxide complex, and MXene/3D carbon material complex. In addition, the Fenton-like system usually consists of adsorption and degradation processes. The oxidation process might contain hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or persulfate (PS) oxidants. This review summarizes the performance and mechanisms of organic pollutants adsorption and oxidants activation by MXene-based materials systematically. Finally, the existing problems and future research directions of MXene-based materials are proposed in Fenton-like wastewater treatment systems.

BACKGROUND An efficient solution to the global freshwater dilemma is desalination. MXene, Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2), Graphene Oxide, Hexagonal Boron Nitride, and Phosphorene are just a few examples of two-dimensional (2D) materials that have shown considerable promise in the development of 2D materials for water desalination. However, other promising materials for desalinating water are biomaterials. The benefits of bio-materials are their wide distribution, lack of toxicity, and superior capacity for water desalination. METHODS For the rational use of water and the advancement of sustainable development, it is of the utmost importance to research 2D-dimensional materials and biomaterials that are effective for water desalination. The scientific community has concentrated on wastewater remediation using bio-derived materials, such as nanocellulose, chitosan, bio-char, bark, and activated charcoal generated from plant sources, among the various endeavors to enhance access to clean water. Moreover, the 2D-materials and biomaterials may have ushered in a new age in the production of desalination materials and created a promising future. RESULTS The present review article focuses on and reviews the progress of 2D materials and biomaterials for water desalination. Their properties, surface, and structure, combined with water desalination applications, are highlighted. Further, the practicability and potential future directions of 2D materials and biomaterials are proposed. Thus, the current work provides information and discernments for developing novel 2D materials and biomaterials for wastewater desalination.

Abstract
Here, we report a novel amino-modified mesoporous-structured aluminum-based metal-organic framework adsorbent, MIL-68(Al)/MCM-41-NH2, for dye sewage treatment. The introduction of molecular sieves overcomes the inherent defects of microporous MOFs in contaminant transfer and provides more active sites to enhance adsorption efficiency. Compared with using organic amino ligands directly, this strategy is ten times cheaper. The composite was well characterized and analyzed in terms of morphology, structure and chemical composition. Batch experiments were carried out to study the influences of essential factors on the process, such as pH and temperature. In addition, their interactions and the optimum conditions were examined using response surface methodology (RSM). The adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics were systematically elucidated. In detail, the adsorption process conforms to pseudo-second-order kinetics and follows the Sips and Freundlich isothermal models. Moreover, the maximum adsorption capacity Qs of methyl orange (MO) was 477 mg g-1. It could be concluded that the process was spontaneous, exothermic, and entropy-reducing. Several binary dye systems have been designed for selective adsorption research. Our material has an affinity for anionic pigments. The adsorption mechanisms were discussed in depth. The electrostatic interaction might be the dominant effect. Meanwhile, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and pore filling might be important driving forces. The excellent thermal stability and recyclability of the adsorbent are readily noticed. After five reuse cycles, the composite still possesses a removal efficiency of 90% for MO. Overall, the efficient and low-cost composite can be regarded as a promising adsorbent for the selective adsorption of anionic dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
A new functional composite was synthesized in this study comprising magnetic-cored dendrimer (MCD) modified with citric acid (CA), succinic acid (SA), and vanillic acid (VA) terminal groups. The CA-MCD, SA-MCD, and VA-MCD exhibited average particle size of 8-18 nm and superparamagnetic behavior. Adsorption potential of the composite was assessed by monitoring methylene blue (MB) removal from contaminated water. The CA-MCD attained adsorption equilibrium in 30 min while SA-MCD and VA-MCD achieved equilibrium in 60 min. The Langmuir model better fitted the adsorption results than the Freundlich model, indicating a monolayer mode of MB adsorption on the composite. Maximum adsorption capacity of CA-MCD, SA-MCD, and VA-MCD was 216.30 mg/g, 184.29 mg/g, and 196.58 mg/g, respectively. The CA-MCD exhibited best adsorption performance by removing 99% MB at pH = 11. In reusability experiments, the CA-MCD, SA-MCD, and VA-MCD maintained over 90% MB adsorption for both 15 mg/L and 50 mg/L solutions in the third cycle. Overall, the organic acid-functionalized MCDs with high adsorption capacity and reusability potential showed utility for practical application for wastewater decontamination.

Abstract
To meet the requirement of sustainable development, bio-based adsorbents were developed for the removal of dye contaminant. To improve the adsorption capacity of pure sodium alginate (SA) adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB), aromatic bio-based tannin (Tan) was incorporated through the cross-linking with calcium ion. The obtained Tan/SA composite hydrogel beads were characterized with SEM, FTIR and TG, demonstrating that millimeter-sized beads were obtained through calcium cross-linking with enhanced thermal stability. The maximum capacity (247.2 mg/g) at optimal condition (pH = 12, T = 45 °C) was obtained for the 40%Tan/SA adsorbents, with a removal efficiency of 82.4%. This can be ascribed to the electrostatic attraction between SA and MB, as well as the formation of π–π stacking between Tan and MB. The adsorption process for MB is endothermic, and chemical adsorption, the removal efficiency was exceeded 90% after five cycles.

Abstract
Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is released into the environment without proper treatment. Whilst environmental pollution continues to intensify due to the increase in the number of polluting industries, conventional techniques employed to clean the environment are poorly effective and are expensive. MXenes are a new class of 2D materials that have received a lot of attention for an extensive range of applications due to their tuneable interlayer spacing and tailorable surface chemistry. Several MXene-based nanomaterials with remarkable properties have been proposed, synthesized, and used in environmental remediation applications. In this work, a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research progress on the promising potential of surface functionalized MXenes as photocatalysts, adsorbents, and membranes for wastewater treatment is presented. The sources, composition, and effects of wastewater on human health and the environment are displayed. Furthermore, the synthesis, surface functionalization, and characterization techniques of merit used in the study of MXenes are discussed, detailing the effects of a range of factors (e.g., PH, temperature, precursor, etc.) on the synthesis, surface functionalization, and performance of the resulting MXenes. Finally, the limits of MXenes and MXene-based materials as well as their potential future research directions, especially for wastewater treatment applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The present research demonstrates the facile fabrication of xanthan gum-cl-poly(acrylamide-co-alginic acid) (XG-cl-poly(AAm-co-AA)) hydrogel by employing microwave-assisted copolymerization. Simultaneous copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and alginic acid (AA) onto xanthan gum (XG) was carried out. Different samples were fabricated by changing the concentrations of AAm and AA. A sample with maximum swelling percentage was chosen for adsorption experiments. The structural and functional characteristics of synthesized hydrogel were elucidated using diverse characterization tools. Adsorption performance of XG-cl-poly(AAm-co-AA) hydrogel was investigated for the removal of noxious cadmium (Cd(II)) ions using batch adsorption from the aqueous system, various reaction parameters optimized include pH, contact time, temperature, and concentration of Cd(II) ions and temperature. The maximum adsorption was achieved at optimal pH 7, contact time 180 min, temperature 35 °C and cadmium ion centration of 10 mg·L-1. The XG-cl-poly(AAm-co-AA) hydrogel unveiled a very high adsorption potential, and its adsorption capacities considered based on the Langmuir isotherm for Cd(II) ions was 125 mg·g-1 at 35 °C. The Cd(II) ions adsorption data fitted nicely to the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-first-order model. The reusability investigation demonstrated that hydrogel retained its adsorption capacity even after several uses without significant loss.
