Engineered biochar supported layered double hydroxide-cellulose nanocrystals composite-: Synthesis, characterization and azo dye removal performance. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136054.

Abstract
In this work, engineered biochar decorated layered double hydroxides and cellulose nanocrystals (B-CuFe-CNC) biocomposites were synthesized by the facile ultrasonicated-co-precipitation technique. The biocomposite was investigated for purification of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dye from water. The characterization results showed that the presence of CNC in biochar-layered double hydroxides resulted in a two-dimensional rod-like structure with excellent crystallinity, improved surface functionalities, and provides an attractive platform for the enhanced adsorption of azo anionic dye molecules. The adsorption system was appropriately demonstrated by the BBD-RSM (R2 > 0.994). The biocomposite exhibited higher EBT adsorption in the acidic pH range (2-5) due to strong electrostatic and chemical interactions. The kinetic and isotherm results were well demonstrated by pseudo-second order, Freundlich, and Redlich Peterson models. The maximum adsorption capacity of biocomposite was 876.2 mg/g achieved within 45 min. The spectroscopic analyses imply that the high removal of EBT by biocomposite is mainly governed by electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and chemical/metal complexation mechanisms. The biocomposite maintained high EBT removal after six successive adsorption cycles and excellent dye adsorption in the different water matrices. The results suggest that tailoring biochar properties with layered double hydroxide and CNC is a promising way for the enhanced removal of dye contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
The rising consumption of the popular non-alcoholic beverage tea and its derivative products caused massive growth in worldwide tea production in the last decade, leading to the generation of huge quantities of waste tea residues every year. Most of these wastes are usually burnt or disposed in landfills without proper treatment which results in serious environmental issues by polluting water, air and soil. In the recent times, 'waste to wealth' is a fast-growing concept for environment friendly sustainable development. Utilization of the large amount of tea wastes for the production of low-cost adsorbents to reduce the expenses of water and wastewater treatment can be a sustainable way of management of these wastes which at the same time will improve circular economy also. This review endeavours to evaluate the potential of both raw and modified tea wastes towards the adsorption of pollutants from wastewater. The production of various adsorptive materials such as biochar, activated carbon, nanocomposites, hydrogels, nanoparticles from tea wastes are summarized. The advancements in their applications for the removal of different emerging contaminants from wastewater as well as potable water, air and soil are exhaustively reviewed. The outcome of the present review reveals that tea waste and its derivatives are appropriate candidates to be used as adsorbents that show tremendous effectiveness in cleaning the environment. This article will provide the readers with an in-depth knowledge on the sustainable utilization of tea waste as adsorbent materials and will assist them to explore this abundant cheap waste biomass for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Natural fibers such as jute, cotton, and bamboo composites are becoming alternative materials to synthetic fiber composites, as their use raises awareness of environmental protection. Among natural fibers, jute and cotton fibers were used in this research to fabricate six-layered composites reinforced by spent tea leaves. Varying amounts (0, 5, 10, and 15 g) of spent tea leaf powder were incorporated as reinforcement with resin to improve and observe properties and determine usability. The prepared composites were investigated comparatively in terms of mechanical, microstructural, morphological, and thermal properties. As regards mechanical characterization, tensile, compression, and bending properties were tested in this research to compare the obtained data with the data available in the literature to show its practical application. The results indicated that significant improvements in mechanical properties were obtained from the composites up to a certain proportion of reinforcement. The addition of 10 g reinforcement of spent tea leaves improved tensile strength by 33.46% and compressive strength by 38.86%. In terms of microstructural, morphological, and thermal characterization, in-depth SEM, EDS, XRD, UV, FTIR, TGA, and DSC analyses were performed. The results revealed that advanced microstructural, morphological, and thermal properties were improved with a certain proportion of spent tea leaf reinforcement.

Abstract
Abstract
A new, fast and efficient method, hyphenated microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (MA-ATPE) was applied in the extraction of α-solanine from Solanum retroflexum. This environmentally friendly extraction method applied water and ethanol as extraction solvents. Central composite design (CCD) was performed which included numerical parameters such as time, mass of plant powder and microwave power. The categorical factors included the chaotrope — NaCl or the kosmotrope — Na2CO3. Fitting the central composite design response surface model to the data generated a quadratic model with a good fit (R2 = 0.920). The statistically significant (p < 0.05) parameters such as time and mass of plant powder were influential in the extraction of α-solanine. Quantification of α-solanine was achieved using a robust and sensitive feature of the ultra-high performance quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer (UHPLC-qTOF-MS), multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The optimized condition for the extraction of α-solanine in the presence of NaCl and Na2CO3 was a period of 1 min at a mass of 1.2 g using a microwave power of 40%. Maximal extraction of α-solanine was 93.50 mg kg−1 and 72.16 mg kg−1 for Na2CO3 and NaCl, respectively. The synergistic effect of salting-out and microwave extraction was influential in extraction of α-solanine. Furthermore, the higher negative charge density of the kosmotrope (Na2CO3) was responsible for its greater extraction of α-solanine than chaotrope (NaCl). The shorter optimal extraction times of MA-ATPE make it a potential technique that could meet market demand as it is a quick, green and efficient method for removal of toxic metabolites in nutraceuticals.

Abstract
A cost-effective and environment-benign adsorbent was prepared from an abundant agro-waste material. Wheat straw was reduced to graphene and then modified by crosslinking to epichlorohydrin. During the conversion process of wheat straw to graphene, the specific surface area increased more than 100 times (from 4 to 415 m2 g-1). The adsorption efficiency of raw wheat straw, graphene nanosheets, and modified graphene against Eriochrome Black T (EBT) were 8.0, 34.7, and 74.4%, respectively. The modified graphene was further investigated for the effect of environmental condition, i.e., pH (3 to 11), EBT concentration (25-100 mg L-1), adsorbent dosage (0.25-0.75 g L-1), contact time (5-60 min), and solution temperature (30-60 °C). The dye removal remained at a high level under a wide range of pH from 3 to 9. The EBT removal decreased from 87.3 to 54.5 by increasing dye concentration and increased from 38.2 to 85.4% by increasing adsorbent dose in the studied ranges. Dye removal also increased by mixing time from 5 to 30 min, whereas a slight drop was observed by continuing agitation up to 60 min. Conducting experiments at various temperatures revealed an endothermic process. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were adequate to represent the adsorption kinetics. Isotherm models suggest a multilayer adsorption of EBT molecules on heterogeneous modified graphene surface with a maximum adsorption capacity of 146.2 mg g-1. The present work demonstrated that the modified graphene obtained from available and low-cost agro-wastes could be used effectively as adsorbent against EBT from aqueous media.

Abstract
The Basil seeds mucilaginous polysaccharide exhibits remarkable physical and chemical properties like high water-absorbing capacity, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The metal-organic frameworks are one of the most promising precursors made of metal clusters and organic connectors for the fabrication of advanced adsorbents due to their unique properties. In this study, the bionanocomposite of magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was successfully synthesized and applied to adsorb azo cationic and anionic dyes. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were pretreated with mucilage extracted from basil seeds to acquire negatively charged magnetite surface, followed by nucleation through attracting zinc cation, and then the growth of metal-organic frameworks which yields high-quality ZIF-8 crystals. The samples were characterized by Field Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. In the process of adsorption, influencing factors and recycling regeneration were discussed, and the adsorption mechanisms such as kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics were explored. The results of the adsorption process showed that maximum adsorption capacities were 9.09 and 13.21 mg/g for Methylene blue and Eriochrome Black T, respectively. The excellent reusability combined with its magnetic separation property makes the nanocomposite a promising adsorbent for the removal of cationic and anionic dyes.

Abstract
The environment is seriously affected by the release of hazardous heavy metals from the industries. The transformation of aquatic weeds into valuable nanosorbent has been considered as effective and efficient material in the wastewater treatment process. The aim of the study is to analyze the potential of nano-EC and nano-LM for the removal of chromium(VI) and nickel(II) ions. The characteristics of nanosorbent were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Adsorptive performance of nanosorbent was studied with respect to pH, contact time, nano adsorbent dosage, and metal ion concentration. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) with respect to nano-EC was found to be 79.04 mgg-1 and 85.09 mgg-1, respectively. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies were performed and it was reported that adsorption isotherm follows Langmuir model with regression coefficient R2 > 0.9 for nano-EC and nano-LM respectively. The pseudo-second order model was found to fit well with experimental data. Experimental results suggested that nano-EC can be considered as a suitable nanosorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) ions from effluents.

Abstract
In this study, the degradation of mixed dye (mixture of Azure B and Congo red) was investigated using iron-loaded black soil as a catalyst via Fenton process. Iron-loaded black soil catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation method, calcined at different temperatures with varying of iron loading on black soil. Their behavior was compared through characterization techniques (FTIR and XRD). Separately, the effect of calcination and aging of catalyst was investigated on the degradation of mixed dye with optimized conditions. Significant degradation (>90% only in 10 min) was observed in optimum conditions. Toxicity measurement was done by a seed germination test which gave significant results. In the kinetic study, it was found that Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery (BMG) model was the best suited for this process compared to other models. In addition, thermodynamic properties (Gibbs free energy [∆G], activation energy [Ea ], activation enthalpy [∆H], and activation entropy [∆S]) were also calculated. The stability of synthesized catalyst was found to be satisfactory. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Application of Iron-loaded black soil catalyst Mixed dye degradation and toxicity measurement Thermodynamic property studies.

Abstract
A novel silicon Schiff base complex (Si-SBC) and magnetite nanorod-decorated Si-SBC (M/SiO2-Si-SBC) were synthesized and well characterized in detail. The synthesized materials were applied for the removal of U(vi) and Pb(ii) from water solutions under various experimental conditions. The monolayer maximum adsorption capacities of M/SiO2-Si-SBC (6.45 × 10-4 mol g-1 for Pb(ii) and 4.82 × 10-4 mol g-1 for U(vi)) obtained from the Langmuir model at 25 °C and pH = 5.00 ± 0.05 were higher than those of Si-SBC (5.18 × 10-4 mol g-1 for Pb(ii) and 3.70 × 10-4 mol g-1 for U(vi)). Moreover, DFT calculations showed that the high adsorption energies (Ead) of 7.61 kcal mol-1 for Pb2+-(Si-SBC) and 2.72 kcal mol-1 for UO22+-(Si-SBC) are mainly attributed to stronger electrostatic interactions. The results revealed that the Si-SBC and M/SiO2-Si-SBC could be used as efficient adsorbents for the effective elimination of U(vi) and Pb(ii) from contaminated wastewater. High sorption capacity and reusability indicated the practical applications of the synthesized materials in environmental pollution cleanup.
