Abstract
Antibiotics, the persistent organic pollutants, have brought serious pollution to the aquatic environment. Therefore, it is necessary to select rapid adsorbents to remove them from their long-term threat. Herein, the introduction of defects in BN was employed to enhance its surface chemical activity for rapid capture of tetracycline via hydrothermal and calcination methods. The defect content in BN can be controlled by adjusting the volume ratio of ethanol to water. Among them, when the volume ratio of H2O/ethanol is 4/1 (BN-3), BN-3 has the most N defects at 33%, which increases the adsorption rate of h-BN for TC and promotes the adsorption capacity to 302.15 mg g-1, which is due to the introduction of nitrogen defects significantly regulates the electronic structure of BN. The corresponding theoretical calculations confirm that BN with N defects decreases the absorption energy of BN for TC. Additionally, the adsorption removal rate of tetracycline still reached 95.5% after 5 cycles of TC adsorption by BN-3, indicating that the defect-modified BN has good reusability and is beneficial for its use in pollutant adsorption.

Sun X, Talha N, Ahmed AM, Rafea MA, Alenazi NA, Abukhadra MR. Steric and energetic studies on the influence of cellulose on the adsorption effectiveness of Mg trapped hydroxyapatite for enhanced remediation of chlorpyrifos and omethoate pesticides. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130711. [PMID: 38490378 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130711] [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: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Magnesium-trapped hydroxyapatite (Mg.HP) was hybridized with cellulose fiber to produce a bio-composite (CLF/HP) with enhanced adsorption affinities for two types of toxic pesticides (chlorpyrifos (CF) and omethoate (OM)). The enhancement influence of the hybridized cellulose on the adsorption performances of Mg.HP was illustrated based on the determined steric and energetic factors. The computed CF and OM adsorption performances of CLF/HP during the saturation phases are 279.8 mg/g and 317.9 mg/g, respectively, which are significantly higher than the determined values using Mg/HP (143.4 mg/g (CF) and 145.3 mg/g (OM)). The steric analysis demonstrates a strong impact of the hybridization process on the reactivity of the surface of the composite. While CLF/HP reflects effective uptake site densities (Nm) of 93.3 mg/g (CF) and 135.3 mg/g (OM), the estimated values for Mg.HP are 51.2 mg/g (CF) and 46.11 mg/g (OM), which explain the reported enhancement in the adsorption performances of the composite. The capacity of each uptake site to be occupied with more than one molecule (n (CF) = 3-3.74 and n (OM) = 2.35-3.54) suggests multimolecular uptake. The energetic factors suggested physical mechanistic processes of spontaneous and exothermic behaviors either during the uptake of CF or OM.

Abstract
One of the major issues of modern society is water contamination with different organic, inorganic, and contaminants bacteria. Finding cost-effective and efficient materials and methods for water treatment and environment remediation is among the scientists' most important considerations. Hollow-structured nanomaterials, including hollow fiber membranes, hollow spheres, hollow nanoboxes, etc., have shown an exciting capability for wastewater refinement approaches, including membrane technology, adsorption, and photocatalytic procedure due to their extremely high specific surface area, high porosity, unique morphology, and low density. Diverse hollow nanostructures could potentially eliminate organic contaminants, including dyes, antibiotics, oil/water emulsions, pesticides, and other phenolic compounds, inorganic pollutants, such as heavy metal ions, salts, phosphate, bromate, and other ions, and bacteria contaminations. Here, a comprehensive overview of hollow nanostructures' fabrication and modification, water contaminant classification, and recent studies in the water treatment field using hollow-structured nanomaterials with a comparative attitude have been provided, indicating the privilege abd detriments of this class of nanomaterials. Eventually, the future outlook of employing hollow nanomaterials in water refinery systems and the upcoming challenges arising in scaling up are also propounded.

Abstract
This study reports the feasibility of recycled polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) beads to decolourize methylene blue (MB) from aqueous streams. The beads were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) for its morphological and structural analysis. The effect of various process parameters such as adsorbent dose, initial concentration, contact time, and pH was studied. The first principle density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the underlying mechanism behind the adsorption process. The MB dye adsorption on recycled PVDF beads followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm, indicating the adsorption was chemical and monolayer. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 27.86 mg g-1. The adsorption energy of MB-PVDF predicted from the DFT study was -64.7 kJ mol-1. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of PVDF decreased from 9.42 eV to 0.50 eV upon interaction with MB dye due to the mixing of molecular orbitals. The DFT simulations showed that the interaction of the MB dye molecule was from the electronegative N atom of the MB dye molecule, implying that electrostatic interactions occurred between the recycled PVDF beads and the positively charged quaternary ammonium groups in MB dye. The present study demonstrates the potential of recycled PVDF beads for a low-cost dye removal technique from textile wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, a CuBTC/ZnO chitosan composite was synthesized for the adsorptive removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous streams. Characterization techniques, namely, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric techniques, were used to characterize CuBTC, ZnO, and CuBTC/ZnO chitosan composites. The scanning electron microscopy images revealed the rough and porous structures of the CuBTC/ZnO chitosan composite. The composites were tested for the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency towards the methylene blue dye by varying adsorbent dosage, adsorbate concentration, pH, and contact time. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models were the best fit for the adsorption of methylene blue on CuBTC/ZnO chitosan composite beads, indicating that the adsorption was monolayer and chemical in nature. The equilibrium dose of the composites was 1.6 g L-1, and the contact time was 90 min with a removal efficiency of 98.75%. The maximum adsorption capacity was 50.07 mg g-1. Regeneration of the composites was performed to check the reusability of the synthesized CuBTC/ZnO chitosan composite beads. The active oxygenated species generated by the photocatalytic action of ZnO on the contaminated water was responsible for the degradation of methylene blue. The reported composite beads can be used for up to 5 cycles to remove methylene blue.
