Adsorption of copper from water using TiO 2-modified activated carbon derived from orange peels and date seeds: Response surface methodology optimization. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21420. [PMID: 38027893 PMCID: PMC10660060 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated the application and efficiency of modified activated carbon in the removal of copper (Cu) from synthetic aquatic samples. The surface of activated carbon derived from orange peel (AC-OP) and date seeds (AC-DS) have been modified by Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) (1:10 wt% mixing ratio) and used in a series of experiments designed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) incorporating Central Composite Design (CCD). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) test demonstrated that the modification has increased the surface area of AC-OP from 2.40 to 6.06 m2 g-1 and AC-DS from 51.10 to 81.37 m2 g-1. Effects of pH (1-7), ion initial concentration (10-60 mg L-1), adsorbent dose (0.5-8 g L-1), and contact time (0.4-6 h) have been investigated. The results showed that the optimum conditions for TiO2-modified AC-OP (OP-TiO2) are pH 5, initial concentration of 24.6 mg L-1, adsorbent dose of 4.9 g L-1, and contact time of 3.6 h. The optimum conditions for TiO2-modified AC-DS (DS-TiO2) are pH 6.4, initial concentration of 21.2 mg L-1, adsorbent dose of 5 g L-1, and contact time of 3.0 h. The modified quadratic models represented the results well with regression coefficients of 0.91 and 0.99 for OP-TiO2 and DS-TiO2, respectively. The maximum Cu removal for OP-TiO2 and DS-TiO2 were 99.90 % and 97.40 %, and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 13.34 and 13.96 mg g-1, respectively. Kinetic data have been fitted to pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order, intra-particle diffusion, and Elovich models. The pseudo second-order showed a better fit to the experimental data (R2 > 98 %). This study demonstrates the successful development of modified activated carbon derived from orange peels and date seeds, modified by TiO2 nanoparticles, for efficient adsorption of copper ions from water. The findings contribute to understanding the adsorption mechanism and provide valuable insights for designing environmentally friendly adsorbents.

YZH1. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:1069. [PMID: 37998874 PMCID: PMC10672102 DOI: 10.3390/jof9111069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Textile dyes are one of the major water pollutants released into water in various ways, posing serious hazards for both aquatic organisms and human beings. Bioremediation is a significantly promising technique for dye decolorization. In the present study, the fungal strain Lasiodiplodia sp. was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Schizophyllum for the first time. The isolated fungal strain was examined for laccase enzyme production under solid-state fermentation conditions with wheat bran (WB) using ABTS and 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol (DMP) as substrates, then the fermented wheat bran (FWB) was evaluated as a biosorbent for Congo red dye adsorption from aqueous solutions in comparison with unfermented wheat bran. A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the dye removal by FWB and to analyze the interaction effects between three factors: fermentation duration, pH, and dye concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to study the changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of wheat bran before and after fermentation. An additional experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of the Lasiodiplodia sp. YZH1 to remove Congo red in the dye-containing liquid culture. The results showed that laccase was produced throughout the cultivation, reaching peak activities of ∼6.2 and 22.3 U/mL for ABTS and DMP, respectively, on the fourth day of cultivation. FWB removed 89.8% of the dye (100 mg L-1) from the aqueous solution after 12 h of contact, whereas WB removed only 77.5%. Based on the Box-Behnken design results, FWB achieved 93.08% dye removal percentage under the conditions of 6 days of fermentation, pH 8.5, and 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 24 h. The fungal strain removed 95.3% of 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 8 days of inoculation in the dye-containing liquid culture. These findings indicate that this strain is a worthy candidate for dye removal from environmental effluents.

SPC0 immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol‑sodium alginate. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 868:161620. [PMID: 36649762 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Enhanced bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is a promising and effective strategy for eliminating the risks posed by PCBs. In the present study, the feasibility of utilizing an immobilization approach to enhance the PCBs degradation performance of a resuscitated strain Streptococcus sp. SPC0 was evaluated. The results indicated that a mixed matrix containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) used as immobilized carriers provided a porous microstructure space for SPC0 colonization and proliferation. The enhanced removal of PCBs by immobilized SPC0 was attributed to simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation performances of PVA-SA-SPC0 beads. The relative equilibrium adsorption capacity of immobilized beads increased with elevated initial concentration, and the maximum theoretical value calculated was 1.64 mg/g. The adsorption process of PCBs by immobilized beads was well fitted to the quasi-second-order kinetic model, and most suitable for Langmuir isotherm model. Immobilized SPC0 enhanced PCB removal with 1.0-7.1 times higher than free cells. Especially, more effective removal of PCBs at higher concentrations could be achieved, in which 73.9 % of 20 mg/L PCBs was removed at 12 h by immobilized SPC0, whereas only 12.0 % by free cells. Moreover, the immobilized SPC0 with excellent stability and reusability retained almost 100 % of the original PCBs removal activity after reusing four times. These results revealed the application potential of immobilizing resuscitated strains for enhanced bioremediation of PCBs.

A novel mushroom ( Auricularia polytricha) glycoprotein protects against lead-induced hepatoxicity, promotes lead adsorption, inhibits organ accumulation of lead, upregulates detoxifying proteins, and enhances immunoregulation in rats. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1144346. [PMID: 37090774 PMCID: PMC10116064 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1144346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Lead is a ubiquitous environmental and industrial pollutant. Its nonbiodegradable toxicity induces a plethora of human diseases. A novel bioactive glycoprotein containing 1.15% carbohydrate, with the ability of adsorbing lead and effecting detoxification, has been purified from Auricularia polytricha and designated as APL. Besides, its mechanisms related to regulation of hepatic metabolic derangements at the proteome level were analyzed in this study. Methods Chromatographic techniques were utilized to purify APL in the current study. For investigating the protective effects of APL, Sprague-Dawley rats were given daily intraperitoneal injections of lead acetate for establishment of an animal model, and different dosages of APL were gastrically irrigated for study of protection from lead detoxification. Liver samples were prepared for proteomic analyses to explore the detoxification mechanisms. Results and discussion The detoxifying glycoprotein APL displayed unique molecular properties with molecular weight of 252-kDa, was isolated from fruiting bodies of the edible fungus A. polytricha. The serum concentrations of lead and the liver function biomarkers aspartate and alanine aminotransferases were significantly (p<0.05) improved after APL treatment, as well as following treatment with the positive control EDTA (300 mg/kg body weight). Likewise, results on lead residue showed that the clearance ratios of the liver and kidneys were respectively 44.5% and 18.1% at the dosage of APL 160 mg/kg, which was even better than the corresponding data for EDTA. Proteomics disclosed that 351 proteins were differentially expressed following lead exposure and the expression levels of 41 proteins enriched in pathways mainly involved in cell detoxification and immune regulation were normalized after treatment with APL-H. The results signify that APL ameliorates lead-induced hepatic injury by positive regulation of immune processing, and suggest that APL can be applied as a therapeutic intervention of lead poisoning in clinical practice. This report represents the first demonstration of the protective action of a novel mushroom protein on lead-elicited hepatic toxicity.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is among the naturally occurring heavy metal with elemental, organic, and inorganic distributions in the environment. Being considered a global pollutant, high pools of Hg-emissions ranging from >6000 to 8000 Mg Hg/year get accumulated by the natural and anthropogenic activities in the atmosphere. These toxicants have high persistence, toxicity, and widespread contamination in the soil, water, and air resources. Hg accumulation inside the plant parts amplifies the traces of toxic elements in the linking food chains, leads to Hg exposure to humans, and acts as a potential genotoxic, neurotoxic and carcinogenic entity. However, excessive Hg levels are equally toxic to the plant system and severely disrupt the physiological and metabolic processes in plants. Thus, a plausible link between Hg-concentration and its biogeochemical behavior is highly imperative to analyze the plant-soil interactions. Therefore, it is requisite to bring these toxic contaminants in between the acceptable limits to safeguard the environment. Plants efficiently incorporate or absorb the bioavailable Hg from the soil thus a constructive understanding of Hg uptake, translocation/sequestration involving specific heavy metal transporters, and detoxification mechanisms are drawn. Whereas recent investigations in biological remediation of Hg provide insights into the potential associations between the plants and microbes. Furthermore, intense research on Hg-induced antioxidants, protein networks, metabolic mechanisms, and signaling pathways is required to understand these bioremediations techniques. This review sheds light on the mercury (Hg) sources, pollution, biogeochemical cycles, its uptake, translocation, and detoxification methods with respect to its molecular approaches in plants.

Abstract
Soil pollution with heavy metals is a serious threat to the environment. However, soils polluted with heavy metals are considered good sources of native metal-resistant Trichoderma strains. Trichoderma spp. are free-living fungi commonly isolated from different ecosystems, establishing endophytic associations with plants. They have important ecological and biotechnological roles due to their production of a wide range of secondary metabolites, thus regulating plant growth and development or inducing resistance to plant pathogens. In this work we used indigenous Trichoderma strains that were previously isolated from different soil types to determine their tolerance to increased copper and nickel concentrations as well as mechanisms of metal removal. The concentrations of bioavailable metal concentrations were determined after extraction with diethylene-triamine pentaacetate (DTPA)-extractable metals (Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Zn) from the soil samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Two indigenous T. harzianum strains were selected for copper tolerance, and three indigenous T. longibrachiatum strains were selected for nickel tolerance tests. Strains were isolated from the soils with the highest and among the lowest DTPA-extractable metal concentrations to determine whether the adaptation to different concentrations of metals affects the mechanisms of remediation. Mechanisms of metal removal were determined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), non-destructive methods characterized by high measurement speed with little or no need for sample preparation and very low costs. Increased DTPA-extractable metal content for nickel and copper was detected in the soil samples above the target value (TV), and for nickel above the soil remediation intervention values (SRIVs), for total metal concentrations which were previously determined. The SRIV is a threshold of metal concentrations indicating a serious soil contamination, thus confirming the need for soil remediation. The use of FTIR and XRF methods revealed that the presence of both biosorption and accumulation of metals in the Trichoderma cells, providing good bioremediation potential for Ni and Cu.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) can cause damages to the brain, liver, kidney, endocrine and other systems. Flammulina velutipes residues polysaccharide (FVRP) has been reported to exhibit anti-heavy metal toxicity on yeast, but its regulating mechanism is unclear. Therefore, the protective effect and the underlying mechanism of FVRP on Pb-intoxicated mice were investigated. The results showed that FVRP could reduce liver and kidney function indexes, serum inflammatory factor levels, and increase antioxidant enzyme activity of Pb-poisoned mice. FVRP also exhibited a protective effect on histopathological damages in organs of Pb-intoxicated mice. Furthermore, FVRP attenuated Pb-induced kidney injury by inhibiting apoptosis via activating the Akt/GSK3β/Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In addition, based on 16 s rRNA and ITS-2 sequencing data, FVRP regulated the imbalance of gut microbiota to alleviate the damage of Pb-poisoned mice by increasing the abundance of beneficial microbiota (Lachnospiraceae, Lactobacillaceae, Saccharomyces and Mycosphaerella) and decreasing the abundance of harmful microbiota (Muribaculaceae and Pleosporaceae). In conclusion, FVRP inhibited kidney injury in Pb-poisoned mice by inhibiting apoptosis via activating Akt/GSK3β/Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling pathway, and regulating gut fungi and gut bacteria. This study not only revealed the role of gut fungi in Pb-toxicity, but also laid a theoretical foundation for FVRP as a natural drug against Pb-toxicity.

Abstract
In this study, the brown algae Sargassum Hemiphyllum was used as a carbon source for synthesis of magnetic porous biochar via pyrolyzing at high temperature and and doping iron oxide particles (Fe-BAB). Cu (II) species were removed from aqueous solutions using Fe-BAB under various conditions. Fe-BAB demonstrated superior Cu (II) adsorption (105.3 mg g-1) compared to other biochars. On the surface of Fe-BAB, there are several oxygen-containing functional groups, such as -COOH and -OH, which are likely responsible for the excellent heavy metal removal performance. By utilizing magnet, the Fe-BAB can be conveniently separated from the solution and ready for further usage. Multi-adsorption mechanisms were responsible for Cu adsorption on Fe-BAB. Using the magnetic algal biochar for heavy metal removal is feasible due to its high adsorption efficiency and simplicity of separation.

Abstract
Natural zeolite, as an abundant aluminosilicate mineral with a hierarchically porous structure, has a strong affinity to ammonium in solutions. Adsorption mechanism of high-concentration ammonium (1000~4000 mg-N/L) in an aqueous solution without pH adjustment onto Chinese natural zeolite with the dosage of 5 g/L was revealed by the strategy of experimental optimization integrated with Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation, and found the maximum ammonium adsorption capacity was 26.94 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm analysis showed that this adsorption process fitted better with descriptions of the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich model. The theoretical calculations and infrared-spectrum characterization results verified the existence of hydrogen bonds and chemisorption. Therefore, the adsorption mechanism by natural zeolites of high-concentration NH4+ is defined as a process under the joint influence of multiple effects, which is mainly promoted by the synergy of the ion exchange process, electrostatic attraction, and chemisorption. Meanwhile, the hydrogen bond also plays an auxiliary role in this efficient adsorption. This study presents important theoretical significance for enriching the mechanism of zeolites adsorbing NH4+ from water, and provides reference and theoretical guidance for further exploring the potential application of natural zeolites.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14122329.

Abstract
A green ZnO@polynaniline/bentonite composite (G.Zn@PN/BE) was synthesized as an enhanced adsorbent for As (V) ions. Its adsorption properties were assessed in comparison with the integrated components of bentonite (BE) and polyaniline/bentonite (PN/BE) composites. The G.Zn@PN/BE composite achieved an As (V) retention capacity (213 mg/g) higher than BE (72.7 mg/g) and PN/BE (119.8 mg/g). The enhanced capacity of G.Zn@PN/BE was studied using classic (Langmuir) and advanced equilibrium (monolayer model of one energy) models. Considering the steric properties, the structure of G.Zn@PN/BE demonstrated a higher density of active sites (Nm = 109.8 (20 °C), 108.9 (30 °C), and 67.8 mg/g (40 °C)) than BE and PN/BE. This declared the effect of the integration process in inducing the retention capacity by increasing the quantities of the active sites. The number of adsorbed As (V) ions per site (1.76 up to 2.13) signifies the retention of two or three ions per site by a multi-ionic mechanism. The adsorption energies (from -3.07 to -3.26 kJ/mol) suggested physical retention mechanisms (hydrogen bonding and dipole bonding forces). The adsorption energy, internal energy, and free enthalpy reflected the exothermic, feasible, and spontaneous nature of the retention process. The structure is of significant As (V) uptake capacity in the existence of competitive anions or metal ions.

Abstract
Heavy metal (HM) contamination of the environment is a major problem worldwide. The rate of global deposition of HMs in soil has dramatically increased over the past two centuries and there of facilitated their rapid accumulation also in living systems. Although the effects of HMs on plants, animals and humans have been extensively studied, yet little is known about their effects on the (patho)biology of the microorganisms belonging to a unique group of filamentous eukaryotic pathogens, i.e., fungi and oomycetes. Much of the literature concerning mainly model species has revealed that HM stress affects their hyphal growth, morphology, and sporulation. Toxicity at cellular level leads to disturbance of redox homeostasis manifested by the formation of nitro-oxidative intermediates and to the induction of antioxidant machinery. Despite such adverse effects, published data is indicative of the fact that fungal and oomycete pathogens have a relatively high tolerance to HMs in comparison to other groups of microbes such as bacteria. Likely, these pathogens may harbor a network of detoxification mechanisms that ensure their survival in a highly HM-polluted (micro)habitat. Such a network may include extracellular HMs immobilization, biosorption to cell wall, and/or their intracellular sequestration to proteins or other ligands. HMs may also induce a hormesis-like phenomenon allowing the pathogens to maintain or even increase fitness against chemical challenges. Different scenarios linking HMs stress and modification of the microorganisms pathogenicity are disscused in this review.

Abstract
Abstract
This study focuses on the adsorption of hazardous Cr (III) and Cu (II) ions from aqueous solution by applying modified waste polypropylene (PP) fabric as an adsorbent. Pre-irradiation technique was performed for grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) and acrylic acid (AAc) onto the PP fabric. The monomer containing 8% SSS and 16% AAc in water was used. Graft yield at 30 kGy radiation dose was 390% when 4% NaCl was added as additive. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The influences of different parameters including pH, contact time, temperature and initial metal ion concentration were also investigated. The equilibrium adsorption data were better fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity 384.62 mg/g for Cr (III) and 188.68 mg/g for Cu (II) ions. The kinetic data were better explained by pseudo first-order kinetic model having good matching between the experimental and theoretical adsorption capacity. The adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic and thermodynamically feasible. Furthermore, investigation of desorption of metal ions and reuse of the adsorbent suggesting that the adsorbent is an efficient and alternative material in the removal of Cr (III) and Cu (II) from aqueous media.

Abstract
Water is a basic and significant asset for living beings. Water assets are progressively diminishing due to huge populace development, industrial activities, urbanization and rural exercises. Few heavy metals include zinc, copper, lead, nickel, cadmium and so forth can easily transfer into the water system either direct or indirect activities of electroplating, mining, tannery, painting, fertilizer industries and so forth. The different treatment techniques have been utilized to eliminate the heavy metals from aquatic system, which includes coagulation/flocculation, precipitation, membrane filtration, oxidation, flotation, ion exchange, photo catalysis and adsorption. The adsorption technique is a better option than other techniques because it can eliminate heavy metals even at lower metal ions concentration, simplicity and better regeneration behavior. Agricultural wastes are low-cost biosorbent and typically containing cellulose have the ability to absorb a variety of contaminants. It is important to note that almost all agro wastes are no longer used in their original form but are instead processed in a variety of techniques to improve the adsorption capacity of the substance. The wide range of adsorption capacities for agro waste materials were observed and almost more than 99% removal of toxic pollutants from aquatic systems were achieved using modified agro-waste materials. The present review aims at the water pollution due to heavy metals, as well as various heavy metal removal treatment procedures. The primary objectives of this research is to include an overview of adsorption and various agriculture based adsorbents and its comparison in heavy metal removal.

Abstract
Worldwide, heavy metals pollution is mostly caused by rapid population growth and industrial development which is accumulated in food webs causing a serious public health risk. Endophytic microorganisms have a variety of mechanisms for metal sequestration having metal biosorption capacities.Endophytic organisms like bacteria and fungi provide beneficial qualities that help plants to improve their health, reduce stress, and detoxify metals. Endophytes have a higher proclivity for improving metal and mineral solubility by cells that secrete low-molecular-weight organic acids and metal-specific ligands like siderophores, which change the pH of the soil and improve binding activity. Protein-related approaches like chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA test) can represent endophytic bacterial community and DNA-protein interactions during metal reduction. This review explored the role of endophytes in bioremediation approaches that can help in analyzing the potential and prospects in response to industrial effluents' detoxification.

Abstract
To investigate the remediation potential of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) on Cd pollution in a paddy soil, a rice pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of SMS addition on the availability of Cd in soil and the uptake of Cd in rice tissues. Five percent of SMS from Pleurotus eryngii (SMS-A, treatment: A), SMS from Agaricus bisporus (SMS-B, treatment: B), or SMS-A plus SMS-B (1:1, treatment: A+B) were added into a Cd-contaminated paddy soil before planting, respectively. The treatment of no SMS amendment was set up as the control (CK). At the four main growth stages of rice, the soils and plant samples were collected to detect the soil properties, Cd concentration in soils and rice tissues, and Cd fractions in soils. Results indicated that the application of SMS-A, SMS-B, and A+B significantly increased soil pH by 14.0-22.9, 23.9-32.9, and 22.7-30%, organic matter (OM) contents by 12.9-31.5, 22.1-34.5, and 26.1-36.9% comparing with CK. While cation exchange capacities (CECs) were increased by 3.6-8.5, 4.9-13.1, and 0.4-10.0% in A, B, and A+B treatments, respectively, except those at the maturation stage in A and B treatments. However, the CaCl2-Cd concentrations in soils were significantly decreased by 64.8-77.9, 76.1-98.9, 73.2-98.9% in A, B, and A+B treatments, respectively, comparing with CK. The reduced availability of Cd was attributed to the changes of Cd from soluble to insoluble fractions in soils amended with SMS and resulted in the decreased Cd uptake in rice tissues. The Cd concentrations in roots significantly decreased by 22.8-36.9, 28.6-36.6, and 26.8-42.6%, while the Cd concentrations in straw decreased by 20.1-46.4, 9.3-41.6, and 16.0-49.1% in A, B, and A+B treatments, respectively. At the maturation stage, the Cd concentrations in brown rice were reduced by 17.7, 15.9, and 19.4% in A, B, and A+B treatments, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that the Cd concentrations in rice roots, straws, and brown rice were all positively correlated with CaCl2-Cd concentrations of soils. Moreover, soil pH and OM were significantly negatively correlated with the Cd concentration in rice tissues, except that between soil pH and the Cd concentration in rice straws. Therefore, the reduced Cd availability in soil and uptake in rice plant tissues together with better soil nutrient conditions by SMS application improved the biomass of root and straw at heading, filling, and maturation stages and the rice production by 32.9-38.8% at the maturation stage. The combined application of SMS-A and SMS-B can be used as a potential method for remediation of Cd-contaminated paddy soil.

Abstract
An indigenous lead-tolerant fungal strain was isolated from lead-contaminated soil and identified as Aspergillus niger, via 18S rRNA gene sequencing. We determined the adsorption and accumulation of Pb(II) by living A. niger and the adsorption of Pb(II) via modified A. niger. This strain resisted and removed 96.21%-100% Pb(II) ranging from 2 to 8 mmol/L Pb(II). Pb-containing particles were observed outside of the cell, and lead was detected inside the cell under scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The process of measuring the adsorption ability of modified fungal biomass, freeze-dried, high-temperature, and alkali-treated fungal samples was analyzed; they adsorbed 25.02%, 8.76%, and 15.05% Pb(II) under 8 mmol/L Pb(II) in 43, 10, and 10 hr, respectively. These three types of modified A. niger fit the pseudo-second-order model equation well. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Isolation and identification of effective Pb(II) removal strain from the soil around Dexing lead-zinc mine. The ability of living and modified Aspergillus niger to remove Pb(II) in an aqueous environment was evaluated. Lead distributions inside and outside the cell were analyzed by SEM and TEM. Kinetic models for modified biomass adsorbing Pb(II) were made for describing adsorption process.

Abstract
Agricultural waste products can be used as biosorbents for bioremediation once they are low-cost and high-efficient in pollutants removal. Thus, waste products from mushroom farming such as cutting and substrate of Lentinula edodes (popularly known as shiitake) and Agaricus bisporus (also known as champignon) were evaluated as biosorbents for metallic contaminants copper (Cu) and lead (Pb). Shiitake and champignon stalks, and shiitake substrate (medium in which shiitake was cultivated) were dried, grounded, characterized and experimented to remove Cu and Pb from contaminated water. The Sips model was used to establish the adsorption isotherms. Regarding Cu, champignon stalks have the best removal efficiency (43%), followed by substrate and stalks of shiitake (37 and 30%, respectively). Pb removals were similar among three residues (from 72 to 83%), with the champignon stalks standing out. The maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) for Cu in shiitake and champignon stalks were 22.7 and 31.4 mg/g−1, respectively. For Pb, qmax for shiitake and champignon stalks, and shiitake substrate were 130.0, 87.0 and 84.0 mg/g−1, respectively. The surface morphology of the champignon stalks revealed an organized and continuous structure. After an interaction with metals, the stalk of champignon accumulated the metal ions into interstices. Mushroom residues showed a relevant adsorption efficiency, especially for Pb. Mushroom farming waste are a very low-cost and promising alternative for removing toxic heavy metals from aquatic environment.

Synthesis of Chitosan/Diatomite Composite as an Advanced Delivery System for Ibuprofen Drug; Equilibrium Studies and the Release Profile. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:13406-13416.

Abstract
Chitosan/diatomite nanocomposite (CS/D) was synthesized as a low-cost and highly porous structure of enhanced physicochemical properties to be applied as advanced carriers for ibuprofen drug (IB). The loading properties of CS/D were studied in comparison to diatomite as a separated phase and achieved a loading capacity of 562.6 mg/g. The loading reactions of IB into CS/D show pseudo-second-order kinetic behavior and Langmuir isotherm properties. This demonstrates homogeneous loading processes in monolayer forms and controlled essentially by physical mechanisms. This was confirmed by the calculated Gaussian energy (7.7 kJ/mol (D) and 7.9 kJ/mol (CS/D)) in addition to the thermodynamic parameters. The thermodynamic behavior for the IB loading process is related to spontaneous, favorable, and exothermic reactions. The CS/D composite is of promising IB release profile that extended to about 200 h with a maximum release of 91.5% at the gastric fluid (pH 1.2) and 97.3% in the intestinal fluid (pH 7.4). The IB release rate from CS/D can be controlled based on the ratio of the integrated chitosan in the composite. The IB release reactions from CS/D follow the assumption of Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics with determined values for the diffusion exponent reflects complex diffusion and erosion as the affected mechanisms during the IB release process.

Abstract
Immobilized fungal biomass (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) was prepared and analysed for the simultaneous removal of Cu(II) ion and Reactive Green 6 dye from aqueous phase. Different characterization analysis was utilized to exploit the adsorption characteristics of fungal biomass. Batch biosorption tests, performed to investigate the factors influencing biosorption process inferred optimal values of 25 mg/L of adsorbate with equilibrium time of 60 min, 2.5 g of immobilized fungal biomass, temperature of 303 K and pH of 5.0 for the maximal removal of pollutants. The obtained experimental data was utilized to evaluate the kinetic, thermodynamic and equilibrium models. Langmuir isotherm model has higher correlation coefficient [Cu(II) ion = 0.8625 and RG 6 dye = 0.8575] with small values of errors (RMSE = 3.746 and SSE = 56.12 for Cu(II) ion; RMSE = 4.872 and SSE = 11.87 for RG 6 dye). Kinetic studies performed to evaluate the adsorption rate mechanism of this present study indicated that pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetics to be most fitting model for removal of Cu(II) ions and Reactive green dye respectively. Thermodynamic analysis inferred the spontaneous, random, and exothermic nature of the biosorption process based on ΔGo, ΔHo, and ΔSo values respectively. The prepared biomass can be an alternative for the elimination of toxic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
This study reports the application of hydrated lime for the effective adsorption of the heavy mercury metal from the aqueous phase solutions. Initially, hydrated lime was subjected to structural characterization and thermal stability analysis. The FT-IR spectrum analysis revealed that the existence of the O-H bonds as a confirmation of hydrated lime formation. Subsequently, the XRD powder-based analysis demonstrated that most of the hydrated lime is pure crystalline material known as Portlandite while a small amount of calcite is also present in the structure of the hydrated lime. The thermal stability analysis revealed that the hydrated lime is highly thermally stable under harsh conditions without decomposing at higher temperatures up to 500 °C. Furthermore, the hydrated lime was subjected to the selective adsorption of heavy metal mercury to investigate the potential influence of the adsorbent particle size and loading on adsorption capacity. The results demonstrated that the decrease in the adsorbent particle size leads to the improvement in the mercury adsorption attributing to the rise in specific surface area. The enhancement in the loading of the adsorbent resulted in a reduction in mercury adsorption directing to the fact that already adsorbed metal ions onto the adsorbent surface lead to hindrance for the adsorption of other ions of heavy metal. These results lead to a significant impact on modern in inventing different adsorbents with promising water treatment efficiency for more industrial applications and the related recovery of mercury.

Abstract
The presence of moderate concentrations of impurities in the nickel-plating baths generates failures on the coated pieces. This situation entails the necessity of replacing the electroplating bath, which implies the generation of large volumes of wastewater with metallic species and high quantity of sludge. For this reason, the adsorption of the principal impurities of nickel-plating baths of an industry was analyzed in this work. Particularly, the removal of Zn2+ was studied in more detail since the presence of this metal in the baths generates black spots on the coated pieces. Different commercial materials were used as adsorbents and Zn2+ adsorption studies were carried out using both standard solutions and industrial water from the nickel-plating baths. All the adsorption tests were performed in batch systems under constant agitation and the quantification of the impurities was made by ICP-MS analysis. The bone char (BC) was an efficient adsorbent for the removal of the principal impurities of nickel-plating baths. The use of molecular simulation tools helped to understand the preferences of the hydroxyapatite (the principal component of bone char) for different metallic ions present in the industrial waters. According to both the experimental adsorption and molecular simulation results, hydroxyl and phosphate groups of bone char are responsible of the adsorption of impurities of nickel-plating baths.

Abstract
Massive production of carcinogenic fly ash waste poses severe threats to water bodies due to its disposal into drains and landfills. Fly ash can be a source of raw materials for the synthesis of adsorbents. Rag fly ash as a new class of raw materials could be a cheap source of Al and Si for the synthesis of Na-zeolites. In this work, NaOH activation, via a prefusion- and postfusion-based hydrothermal strategy, was practiced for the modification of rag fly ash into Na-zeolite. Morphology, surface porosity, chemical composition, functionality, mineral phases, and crystallinity, in conjunction with ion exchangeability of the tailored materials, were evaluated by SEM, ICP-OES, XRF, FTIR, XRD, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) techniques. Rag fly ash and the synthesized Na-zeolites were applied for the removal of Pb (II) from synthetic wastewater by varying the reaction conditions, such as initial metal ion concentration, mass of adsorbent, sorption time, and pH of the reaction medium. It was observed that Na-zeolite materials (1 g/100 mL) effectively removed up to 90–98% of Pb (II) ions from 100 mg/L synthetic solution within 30 min at pH ≈ 8. Freundlich adsorption isotherm favors the multilayer heterogeneous adsorption mechanism for the removal of Pb (II). It is reasonable to conclude that recycling of textile rag fly ash waste into value-added Na-zeolites for the treatment of industrial wastewater could be an emergent move toward achieving sustainable and green remediation.

Abstract
A biosorbent composed of non-viable Pseudomonas putida trapped in agar beads was able to remove Cu2+ and Zn2+ from solutions containing one or both metals. The process in batch followed pseudo second-order kinetics, with adsorption capacities of 0.255 mg Cu2+/g and 0.170 mg Zn2+/g according to the Langmuir isotherm. These values were up to ten times lower for beads without biomass. The metals became bound to OH, CH2, CO, COC and COP groups, with the last three being provided by the biomass, which highlights its importance. Adsorption values for single-metal solutions filtered in a fixed-bed column were 0.152 mg Cu2+/g and 0.117 mg Zn2+/g, but decreased to 0.075 and 0.058, respectively, with mixed-metal solutions (1:1 ratio). In 10:1-ratio solutions, the metal in greater proportion was better adsorbed. Under all conditions, removal percentage was ∼60 %. The column could be reused throughout ten absorption/desorption cycles without significant alterations in adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Present study investigated the Cu2+ removal potential of Trichoderma lixii CR700, isolated from enormously heavy metal polluted electroplating wastewater. In the batch study, actively growing CR700 was able to remove 84.6% of Cu2+ at the concentration 10 mg/L of Cu2+ within 120 h after incubation and the accumulated and surface adsorbed amount of Cu was 0.51 and 0.47 mg/g of dry biomass respectively. T. lixii CR700 also showed efficient Cu2+ removal potential in the pH ranges from 5.0 to 8.0, in the presence of other co-occurring contaminant such as heavy metal, anions and metabolic inhibitor as well from real tannery wastewater. Alteration on cell surface of Cu2+ treated mycelia of T. lixii CR700 was analyzed using scanning electron microscope. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis was performed to identify the role of surface functional group in Cu2+ adsorption which revealed that COO─ functional group lead Cu2+ adsorption onto the surface of T. lixii CR700. Thus, T. lixii CR700 uses simultaneous surface sorption and accumulation mechanism in Cu2+ removal and can be potentially applied for bioremediation of Cu2+ contaminated wastewater in ecofriendly, safe and sustainable way.

Abstract
The wastes from the macro-fungus Agaricus bisporus were used as an eco-friendly and low-cost adsorbent for the treatment of colored effluents containing the recalcitrant dyes, acid red 97 (AR97) and crystal violet (CV). The macro-fungal waste presented an amorphous structure, composed of particles with different sizes and shapes. Also, it presents typical functional chemical groups of proteins and carbohydrates with a point of zero charge of 4.6. The optimum conditions for the dosage were found to be as follows: 0.5 g L-1 with an initial pH at 2.0 for the AR97 and 8.0 for the CV. From the kinetic test, it was found that it took 210 min and an adsorption capacity of 165 mg g-1 for the AR97. Concerning the CV kinetics, it took 120 min to reach the equilibrium and it achieved an adsorption capacity of 165.9 mg g-1. The Elovich model was the most proper model for describing the experimental data, achieving an R2 ≥ 0.997 and MSE ≤ 36.98 (mg g-1)2. The isotherm curves were best represented by the Langmuir model, predicting maximum adsorption capacity of 372.69 and 228.74 mg g-1 for the AR97 and CV, respectively. The process was spontaneous and favorable for both dyes. The ∆H0 values were 9.53 and 10.69 kJ mol-1 for AR97 and CV, respectively, indicating physical and endothermic adsorption. Overall, the wastes from Agaricus bisporus have the potential to adsorb cationic and anionic dyes, thus solving environmental problems related to water quality and residue disposal.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg), the environmental toxicant, is present in the soil, water, and air as it is substantially distributed throughout the environment. Being extremely toxic even at low concentration, its remediation is utterly important. Therefore, it is necessary to detoxify the contaminant within the acceptable limits before threatening the environment. Although various conventional methods are being used, irrespective of high cost, it produces intermediate toxic by-product too. Biological methods are eco-friendly, clean, greener, and safer for the remediation of heavy metals corresponding to the conventional remediation due to their economic and high-tech constraints. Bioremediation is now being used for Hg (II) removal, which involves biosorption and bioaccumulation mechanisms or both, also mercuric ion reductase, exopolysaccharide play significant role in detoxification of mercury by acting a potential instrument for the remediation of heavy metals. In this review paper, we shed light on problems caused by mercury pollution, mercury cycle, and its global scenario and detoxification approaches by biological methods and result found in the literature.

Abstract
In this study, novel cellulose-bead-based biosorbents (CBBAS) were successfully synthesized from almond shell using a simple three-step process: (i) dissolution of bleached almond shell in ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride), (ii) coagulation of cellulose-ionic liquid solution in water and (iii) freeze-drying. Their morphological, structural and physicochemical properties were thoroughly characterized. These biomaterials exhibited a 3D-macroporous structure with interconnected pores, which provided a high number of adsorption sites. It should be noted that CBBAS biosorbents were efficiently employed for the removal of copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions, showing high adsorption capacity: 128.24 mg g-1. The biosorption equilibrium data obtained were successfully fitted to the Sips model and the kinetics were suitably described by the pseudo-second-order model. Besides, CBBAS biosorbents can be easily separated from the solution for their subsequent reuse, and thus, they represent a method for the removal of copper (II) from aqueous solutions that is not only eco-friendly but also economical.

Abstract
A bentonite/Zeolite-P (BE/ZP) composite was synthesized by controlled alkaline hydrothermal treatment of bentonite at 150 °C for 4 h for effective sequestration of phosphate and ammonium pollutants. The composite is of 512 m2/g surface area, 387 meq/100 g ion-exchange capacity, and 5.8 nm average pore diameter. The experimental investigation reflected the strong effect of the pH value in directing the uptake behavior and the best results were attained at pH 6. The kinetic properties showed an excellent agreement for phosphate and ammonium adsorption results with the pseudo-second-order model showing equilibrium intervals of 600 and 360 min, respectively, and maximum experimental capacities of 170 and 155 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, their equilibrium modeling confirmed excellent fitness with the Langmuir hypothesis, signifying homogeneous and monolayer uptake processes with a theoretical q max of 179.4 and 166 mg/g for phosphate and ammonium, respectively. Moreover, the calculated Gaussian adsorption energies of phosphate (0.8 kJ/mol) and ammonium (0.72 kJ/mol) suggested physisorption for them with mechanisms close to the zeolitic ion-exchange process or the coulumbic attractive forces. This was supported by the assessed thermodynamic parameters which also suggested spontaneous uptake by endothermic reaction for phosphate and exothermic reaction for ammonium. The BE/ZP composite is of excellent reusability and used for eight recyclability runs achieving removal percentages of 61.5 and 74.5% for phosphate and ammonium, respectively, in run 8. Finally, the composite was applied in the purification of sewage water and groundwater, achieving complete removal for phosphate from sewage water and ammonium from groundwater and reduction of the ammonium ions in the sewage water to 2.3 mg/L.

Abstract
Fungal bioremediation is a promising approach to remove heavy-metal from contaminated water. Present study examined the ability of an earthworm gut fungus Trichoderma brevicompactum QYCD-6 to tolerate and remove both individual and multi-metals. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of heavy metals [Cu(II), Cr(VI), Cd(II) and Zn(II)] against the fungus was ranged 150–200 mg L−1 on composite medium, and MIC of Pb(II) was the highest with 1600 mg L−1 on potato dextrose (PD) medium. The Pb(II) presented the highest metal removal rate (97.5%) which mostly dependent on bioaccumulation with 80.0%, and synchronized with max biomass (6.13 g L−1) in PD medium. However, on the composite medium, the highest removal rate was observed for Cu(II) (64.5%). Cellular changes in fungus were reflected by TEM analysis. FTIR and solid-state NMR analyses indicated the involvement of different functional groups (amino, carbonyl, hydroxyl, et al.) in metallic biosorption. These results established that the earthworm-associated T. brevicompactum QYCD-6 was a promising fungus for the remediation of heavy-metal wastewater.

Abstract
Pieces of glass as solid wastes were recycled in the synthesis of highly order MCM-41 that decorated by green fabricated Co3O4 nanoparticles using the green extract of green tea leaves forming novel green nano-composite. The synthetic Co3O4/MCM-41 exhibit high surface area, low bandgap energy (1.63 eV), and typical spherical morphology decorated by Co3O4 nanoparticles. The composite was evaluated as green photocatalyst in effective oxidation of methyl parathion pesticide in the presence of a visible light source. The degradation results revealed complete removal of 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L after 60 min and 90 min, respectively using 0.25 of the catalyst at pH 8. The detection of the TOC in the treated methyl parathion solution gives strong indications about the formation of organic intermediate compounds during the oxidation steps. The main detected intermediate compound are C6H5OH(NO2), C6H5OH, (CH3O)3P(S), C6H4(OH)2, C6H3(OH)3, C6H4(NH2)OP(O)(OCH3)2, (CH3O)2P(O)OH, (CH2)2C(OH)OH(CHO)OC(O), and HO2C(CH2)2C(O)CHO. The detected intermediate compounds converted into SO42-, PO43-, NO3-, and CO2 under the extensive photocatalytic of them over Co3O4/MCM-41. The oxidizing species trapping test verified the controlling of the methyl parathion degradation pathway by the hydroxyl radicals. Finally, the composite showed significant reusability properties and applied five times in the oxidation of methyl parathion with considerable degradation percentages.

Abstract
Muscovite/phillipsitic zeolite was introduced as a novel inorganic composite of stunning adsorption properties. The composite was investigated in the uptake reactions of Hg(II), As(V), and U(VI) as highly toxic water contaminants considering different adsorption factors. The adsorption properties of muscovite/phillipsitic zeolite are highly dependent on the pH values and the best decontamination percentages can be obtained at pH 4, pH 5, and pH 5 for Hg(II), As(V), and U(VI), respectively. The kinetic studies demonstrated adsorption equilibrium for Hg(II), As(V), and U(VI) after 360 min, 300 min, and 360 min, respectively. The equilibrium modeling suggested monolayer uptake for all the metals and represented mainly by the Langmuir model considering both the values of determination coefficient and chi-squared (χ2). The estimated maximum capacities are 117 mg/g (Hg(II)), 122.5 mg/g (As(V)), and 138.5 mg/g (U(VI)) which are higher values than several studied adsorbents. The Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption energies of Hg(II) (19.4 kJ/mol), As(V) (25.6 kJ/mol), and U(VI) (26.47 kJ/mol) signify chemical adsorption mechanisms and close to the obtained values for the ion-exchange process. Additionally, the composite is of high reusability properties and was applied effectively for five decontamination cycles. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
AbstractThe paper addresses an exploration of the removal efficiency of banana peel ftrip(BP) towards copper and zinc ions from water and to optimize the factors involved in this adsorption process. In this sense, process optimization, kinetics, and equilibrium studies were performed in a batch process. The kinetics shows that the equilibrium reached in 60 minutes and the adsorption is favored above pH 5. The BP was firstly characterized by proximate analysis, FTIR, BET surface area, and SEM. The highest adsorption capacity for Langmuir isotherm for Cu(II) and Zn(II) onto BP was observed to be 61.728 mg/g and 55.56 mg/g respectively. Finally, the regeneration of BP was also studied up to 5 cycles. Thus, BP showed excellent adsorption characteristics during the uptake of Cu(II) and Zn(II) from wastewater effluent and can be used as low-cost agricultural waste biomass as an adsorbent.

Abstract
The present study proposes the use of endophytic fungi for mercury bioremediation in in vitro and host-associated systems. We examined mercury resistance in 32 strains of endophytic fungi grown in culture medium supplemented with toxic metal concentrations. The residual mercury concentrations were quantified after mycelial growth. Aspergillus sp. A31, Curvularia geniculata P1, Lindgomycetaceae P87, and Westerdykella sp. P71 were selected and further tested for mercury bioremediation and bioaccumulation in vitro, as well as for growth promotion of Aeschynomene fluminensis and Zea mays in the presence or absence of the metal. Aspergillus sp. A31, C. geniculata P1, Lindgomycetaceae P87 and Westerdykella sp. P71 removed up to 100% of mercury from the culture medium in a species-dependent manner and they promoted A. fluminensis and Z. mays growth in substrates containing mercury or not (Dunnett's test, p < 0.05). Lindgomycetaceae P87 and C. geniculata P1 are dark septate endophytic fungi that endophytically colonize root cells of their host plants. The increase of host biomass correlated with the reduction of soil mercury concentration due to the metal bioaccumulation in host tissues and its possible volatilization. The soil mercury concentration was decreased by 7.69% and 57.14% in A. fluminensis plants inoculated with Lindgomycetaceae P87 + Aspergillus sp. A31 and Lindgomycetaceae P87, respectively (Dunnet's test, p < 0.05). The resistance mechanisms of mercury volatilization and bioaccumulation in plant tissues mediated by these endophytic fungi can contribute to bioremediation programs. The biochemical and genetic mechanisms involved in bioaccumulation and volatilization need to be elucidated in the future.

Abstract
The adsorption of acid red 97 dye (RED 97) by the waste of the filamentous fungus Beauveria bassiana was analyzed. The adsorbent was obtained as a waste of a fermentative process, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), and specific surface area (BET). After the characterization, adsorption tests were carried out to determine the ideal conditions of pH, adsorbent mass, and contact time for the process. Adsorption isotherms, thermodynamic studies, and the treatment of textile effluent were also investigated. The adsorbent characterization allowed the visualization of its amorphous structure, with irregular and heterogeneous particles. The pore diameter was 51.9 nm and the surface area was 0.247 m2 g-1. 1.2 g L-1 of the adsorbent and pH of 2.0 were the ideal conditions for RED 97 adsorption. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the most appropriate to represent the experimental data, being the equilibrium reached in about 110 min. The Langmuir model was the most suitable to represent the equilibrium data, with maximum adsorption capacity of 194.1 mg g-1 at 45 °C. The adsorption processes was thermodynamically spontaneous, favorable, and exothermic. In the treatment of a real textile effluent, 5 g L-1 of the spores was capable to decolorize 70% of the solution. Therefore, spore wastes of Beauveria bassiana were promising for RED 97 adsorption.

Abstract
In this paper, the adsorption behavior of zinc onto magnetic zeolite/cellulose nanofibers (MZNF) was studied. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by SEM, FTIR, and VSM analyses. The mass ratio of adsorbent in composite, pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial Zn+2 concentration, temperature, and agitation speed were investigated in batch experiments. The results showed that zeolite played an important role in the prepared nanocomposite due to its great surface area. pH 7 exhibited the highest Zn+2 removal efficiency. Rapid adsorption at the first 30 min of the reaction is one of the advantages of the prepared adsorbents. Moreover, increase at temperature led to higher efficiency and maximum efficiency was attained at 30 °C. Under optimum conditions, MZNF showed removal efficiency of 96% and maximum adsorption capacity of 9.45 mg/g. The presence of the competing ions did not reduce the efficiency of the process and adsorption efficiency was higher than 93%. The calculated RSD of 1.42% exhibits the suitability of the process. Equilibrium data were examined by various isotherms and kinetics equations. It was concluded that Pseudo second-order model and Langmuir models described the adsorption process well. Based on these results, MZNF obtained in this work can be served as a promising candidate for Zn+2 removal in wastewater.

Potentiality of the Phoma sp. inactive fungal biomass, a waste from the bioherbicide production, for the treatment of colored effluents. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 235:596-605. [PMID: 31276872 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.06.169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2019] [Revised: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 06/22/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The potentiality of Phoma sp. inactive fungal biomass, waste from the bioherbicide production, was evaluated for the treatment of colored effluents containing Acid Red 18 (AR 18) dye. The batch experiments were performed to evaluate the following parameters: pH of the solution (2-10), dye concentration (50-200 mg L-1), adsorbent dose (0.5-2.5 g L-1), contact time (0-180 min) and temperature (298-328 K). The batch experiments using a synthetic dye solution revealed that Phoma sp. was efficient at pH of 2.0, 298 K and using a dosage of 1.25 g L-1. The process was fast, being the equilibrium reached within 180 min. The maximum value of biosorption capacity was 63.58 mg g-1, being the process favorable and exothermic. From the fixed bed assays, breakthrough curves were obtained, presenting a mass transfer zone of 7.08 cm and breakthrough time of 443 min. Phoma sp. was efficient to decolorize a simulated effluent, removing more than 90% of the color. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that Phoma sp. inactive biomass is a low-cost option to treat colored effluents in continuous and discontinuous biosorption modes. These indicate that Phoma sp. of inactive biomass is an option for the treatment of colored effluents.

[PMID: 31078029 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.04.198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 253] [Impact Index Per Article: 50.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metal contamination is a growing concern in the developing world. Inadequate water and wastewater treatment, coupled with increased industrial activity, have led to increased heavy metal contamination in rivers, lakes, and other water sources in developing countries. However, common methods for removing heavy metals from water sources, including membrane filtration, activated carbon adsorption, and electrocoagulation, are not feasible for developing countries. As a result, a significant amount of research has been conducted on low-cost adsorbents to evaluate their ability to remove heavy metals. In this review article, we summarize the current state of research on the removal of heavy metals with an emphasis on low-cost adsorbents that are feasible in the context of the developing world. This review evaluates the use of adsorbents from four major categories: agricultural waste; naturally-occurring soil and mineral deposits; aquatic and terrestrial biomass; and other locally-available waste materials. Along with a summary of the use of these adsorbents in the removal of heavy metals, this article provides a summary of the influence of various water-quality parameters on heavy metals and these adsorbents. The proposed adsorption mechanisms for heavy metal removal are also discussed.
