Jha A, Mishra S. Exploring the potential of waste biomass-derived pectin and its functionalized derivatives for water treatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133613. [PMID: 38960223 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133613] [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: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Environmental pollution remains a constant challenge due to the indiscriminate use of fossil fuels, mining activities, chemicals, drugs, aromatic compounds, pesticides, etc. Many emerging pollutants with no fixed standards for monitoring and control are being reported. These have adverse impacts on human life and the environment around us. This alarms the wastewater management towards developing materials that can be used for bulk water treatment and are easily available, low cost, non-toxic and biodegradable. Waste biomass like pectin is extracted from fruit peels which are a discarded material. It is used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications but its application as a material for water treatment is very limited in literature. The scientific gap in literature review reports are evident with discussion only on pectin based hydrogels or specific pectin derivatives for some applications. This review focuses on the chemistry, extraction, functionalization and production of pectin derivatives and their applications in water treatment processes. Pectin functionalized derivatives can be used as a flocculant, adsorbent, nano biopolymer, biochar, hybrid material, metal-organic frameworks, and scaffold for the removal of heavy metals, ions, toxic dyes, and other contaminants. The huge quantum of pectin biomass may be explored further to strengthen environmental sustainability and circular economy practices.

Abstract
In this study, magnetically recyclable spherical Fe3O4/Cu2O particles comprising S-scheme heterojunctions were prepared by a simple hydrothermal approach using n-type semiconductor Fe3O4 as precursor and p-type semiconductor Cu2O. A Fenton-like system was thus constructed via the addition to Fe3O4/Cu2O of hydrogen peroxide. A rhodamine B (RhB) solution was used to simulate polluted wastewater, and photocatalytic RhB removal experiments were conducted under visible light irradiation. Powder X-ray diffractometry, vibrating-sample magnetometry, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments were conducted to characterise Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/Cu2O composite. The band gap of Fe3O4/Cu2O was 1.76 eV, narrower than that of Fe3O4 (2.14 eV). The effects of the pH, sample dosage, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and RhB initial concentration on RhB removal were investigated. According to evidence, under the optimum reaction conditions, the RhB removal rate was 99.4%. The Fe3O4/Cu2O composite exhibited good photocatalytic efficacy even after four cycles of testing. Based on the results of free radical capture experiments, hydroxyl radicals and holes cooperated as main reactive species in the photocatalytic system. The Fe3O4/Cu2O photocatalyst can be easily removed based on magnetism, and it has been proven to be very effective for the degradation of RhB under both UV and visible light irradiation.

Abstract
Removing dyes, particularly methylene blue, from wastewater is crucial due to their detrimental effects on environmental and human health. Adsorption, recognized as a simple and efficient technique, is frequently employed to eliminate various dyes from water. Although activated carbon is a favored adsorbent for wastewater treatment, its high cost often restricts its use. As a result, there is increasing interest in utilizing inexpensive, natural materials, and waste products as alternative adsorbents. Sawdust from the European fan palm tree, specifically Chamaerops humilis, a widely available and cost-effective by-product, has demonstrated effective dye removal from wastewater. This study explored the impact of various factors such as time, agitation, adsorbent quantity, dye concentration, pH, and temperature on the adsorption of methylene blue using Chamaerops humilis sawdust. Optimal dye adsorption conditions were identified at a temperature of 25 °C, a pH of 8, an adsorbent dosage of 100 mg, a contact time of 120 min, and a dye concentration of 20 mg L-1, achieving a removal efficiency of 93.5%. Moreover, the Langmuir isotherm model described the adsorption dynamics more accurately, suggesting a maximum sorption capacity of 22.7 mg g-1 for the sawdust. Additionally, adsorption kinetics aligned better with the pseudo-second-order model than the pseudo-first-order model, underscoring the efficacy of this method in treating dye-polluted water.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:333.

Abstract
Dye decolorization through biological treatment techniques has been gaining momentum as it is based on suspended and attached growth biomass in both batch and continuous modes. Hence, this review focused on the contribution of moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR) in dye removal. MBBR have been demonstrated to be an excellent technology for pollution extraction, load shock resistance, and equipment size and energy consumption reduction. The review went further to highlight different biocarrier materials for biofilm development this review identified biochar as an innovative and environmentally friendly material produced through the application of different kinds of reusable or recyclable wastes and biowastes. Biochar as a carbonized waste biomass could be a better competitor and environmentally friendly substitute to activated carbon given its lower mass costs. Biochar can be easily produced particularly in rural locations where there is an abundance of biomass-based trash. Given that circular bioeconomy lowers dependency on natural resources by turning organic wastes into an array of useful products, biochar empowers the creation of competitive goods. Thus, biochar was identified as a novel, cost-effective, and long-term management strategy since it brings about several essential benefits, including food security, climate change mitigation, biodiversity preservation, and sustainability improvement. This review concludes that integrating two treatment methods could greatly lead to better color, organic matter, and nutrients removal than a single biological MBBR treatment process.

Abstract
The importance of environmental issues and the existence of humans have led to the recognition of environmental concerns as the main risk to modern life. Notably, one major concern for protecting and managing the environment and human health is the presence of dyes in wastewater. Therefore, before discharging wastewater into mainstream water, it is crucial to remove dyes. Among all lignocellulosic materials, lignin is a highly fragrant biopolymer. Its abundant availability, complex structure, and numerous functional moieties, including hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic, are used in different chemicals and applications. Based on this, lignin is a very useful green material for adsorption, specifically in removing both heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater. This article describes the use of lignin-based adsorbents as a recent breakthrough in the removal of dye from aqueous solutions. On the other hand, the review intends to encourage readers to study both established and novel avenues in lignin-based dye removal materials.

Abstract
In this work, the (TiO2)20 cluster is proposed to adsorb the methylene blue (BM) dye; thus, the quantum parameters to explain the adsorption process are calculated by means of density functional theory calculations. Eight possible configurations are obtained and labeled from M1 to M8. According to the adsorption energy values, they reveal physisorption for at least two cases, and for the rest of the systems, they exhibit chemisorption. The preferential positions that lead to good adsorption for the BM dye are parallel to the semiconductor cluster; however, when one end of the BM dye formed by hydrogen atoms is interacting with the cluster, a weak chemical interaction is reached. The chemical interactions for M4 and M5 systems generate considerable increases of their electronic gap values (E g) with respect to the rest, and this effect is explained based on iso-surfaces of frontier orbitals and electronic charge transference. The chemical interactions between these chemical species are stable under vibrational and thermal criteria. This semiconductor cluster arises as a good candidate to adsorb some dyes like BM.

Abstract
The world is facing water crises because freshwater scarcity has become a global issue due to rapid population growth, resulting in the need for more industries, agriculture, and domestic sectors. Therefore, it is challenging for scientists and environmental engineers to treat wastewater with cost-effective treatment techniques. As compared to conventional processes (physical, chemical, and biological), advanced oxidation processes (AOP) play an essential role in the removal of wastewater contaminants, with the help of a powerful hydroxyl (OH•) through oxidation reactions. This review study investigates the critical role of O3-based Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) in tackling the complex difficulties of wastewater treatment. Effective treatment methods are critical, with wastewater originating from various sources, including industrial activity, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture, and a wide range of toxins. O3-based AOPs appear to be powerful therapies capable of degrading a wide range of pollutants, including stubborn organics, medicines, and pesticides, reducing environmental and human health risks. This review sheds light on their efficacy in wastewater treatment by explaining the underlying reaction mechanisms and applications of several O3-based AOP processes, such as O3, O3/UV, and O3/H2O2. Ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, stimulates the breakdown of complex chemical molecules by oxidation processes, which are aided further by synergistic combinations with ultraviolet (UV) radiation or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Notably, while ozonation alone may not always produce the best outcomes, it acts as an essential pretreatment step prior to traditional treatments, increasing total treatment efficiency. Furthermore, O3-based AOPs' transformational capacity to convert organic chemicals into simpler, more stable inorganic forms with little sludge creation emphasizes its sustainability and environmental benefits. This study sheds light on the processes, uses, and benefits of O3-based AOPs, presenting practical solutions for sustainable water management and environmental protection. It is a valuable resource for academics, engineers, and politicians looking for new ways to combat wastewater contamination and protect water resources.

Abstract
Increasing world population, urbanization, and industrialization have led to an increase in demand in production and consumption, resulting in an increase in industrial solid wastes and pollutant levels in water. These two main consequences have become global problems. The high Si and Al content of solid wastes suggests that they can be used as raw materials for the synthesis of zeolites. In this context, when the literature studies conducted to obtain synthetic zeolites are evaluated, it is seen that hydrothermal synthesis method is generally used. In order to improve the performance of the hydrothermal synthesis method in terms of energy cost, synthesis time, and even product quality, additional methods such as alkaline fusion, ultrasonic effect, and microwave support have been developed. The zeolites synthesized by different techniques exhibit superior properties such as high surface area and well-defined pore sizes, thermal stability, high cation exchange capacity, high regeneration ability, and catalytic activity. Due to these specific properties, zeolites are recognized as one of the most effective methods for the removal of pollutants. The toxic properties of heavy metals and dyes in water and their carcinogenic effects in long-term exposure pose a serious risk to living organisms. Therefore, they should be treated at specified levels before discharge to the environment. In this review study, processes including different methods developed for the production of zeolites from industrial solid wastes were evaluated. Studies using synthetic zeolites for the removal of high levels of health and environmental risks such as heavy metals and dyes are reviewed. In addition, EPMA, SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, AFM, and 29Si and 27Al NMR techniques, which are characterization methods of synthetic zeolites, are presented and the cation exchange capacity, thermodynamics of adsorption, effect of temperature, and pH are investigated. It is expected that energy consumption can be reduced by large-scale applications of alternative techniques developed for zeolite synthesis and their introduction into the industry. It is envisaged that zeolites synthesized by utilizing wastes will be effective in obtaining a green technology. The use of synthesized zeolites in a wide variety of applications, especially in environmental problems, holds great promise.

Abstract
SiO2-coated nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has emerged as a fine material for the treatment of dye wastewater due to its large specific surface area, high surface activity, and strong reducibility. However, the magnetic properties based on which SiO2-coated nZVI (SiO2-nZVI) could effectively separate and recover from treated wastewater, and the biotoxicity analysis of degradation products of the dye wastewater treated by SiO2-nZVI remain unclear. In this study, SiO2-nZVI was synthesized using a modified one-step synthesis method. The SiO2-nZVI nanoparticles were characterized using Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Fully automatic specific surface and porosity analyzer, Vibrating sample magnetometer, and Zeta potential analyzer. The removal rate of methyl orange (MO) by SiO2-nZVI composite reached 98.35% when the degradation performance of SiO2-nZVI treating MO was optimized. Since SiO2-nZVI analysed by magnetic hysteresis loops had large saturation magnetization and strong magnetic properties, SiO2-nZVI exhibited excellent ferromagnetic behaviour. The analysis of the degradation products showed that the MO treated by SiO2-nZVI was converted into a series of intermediates, resulting in reducing the toxicity of MO. The potential mechanism of MO degradated by SiO2-nZVI was speculated through degradation process and degradation kinetics analysis. Overall, the SiO2-nZVI composite may be regarded as a promising catalyst for decolorization of dye wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, a Ti3C2 MXene@g-C3N4 composite powder (TM-CN) was prepared by the ultrasonic self-assembly method and then loaded onto a carbon nanofiber membrane by the self-assembly properties of MXene for the treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater. The characterization of the TM-CN and the C-TM-CN was conducted via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) to ascertain the successful modification. The organic dye degradation experiments demonstrated that introducing an appropriate amount of Ti3C2 MXene resulted in the complete degradation of RhB within 60 min, three times the photocatalytic efficiency of a pure g-C3N4. The C-TM-CN exhibited the stable and outstanding photocatalytic degradation of the RhB solution over a wide range of pH values, indicating the characteristics of the photodegradation of organic pollutants in a wide range of aqueous environments. Furthermore, the results of the cyclic degradation experiments demonstrated that the C-TM-CN composite film maintained a degradation efficiency of over 85% after five cycles, thereby confirming a notable improvement in its cyclic stability. Consequently, the C-TM-CN composite film exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance and is readily recyclable, making it an auspicious eco-friendly material in water environment remediation.

Brillas E, Oliver R. Development of persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes to remove synthetic azo dyes from aqueous matrices. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 355:141766. [PMID: 38527631 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141766] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Azo dyes are largely used in many industries and discharged in large volumes of their effluents into the aquatic environment giving rise to non-esthetic pollution and health-risk problems. Due to the high stability of azo dyes in ambient conditions, they cannot be abated in conventional wastewater treatment plants. Over the last fifteen years, the decontamination of dyeing effluents by persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has received a great attention. In these methods, PS is activated to be decomposed into sulfate radical anion (SO4•-), which is further partially hydrolyzed to hydroxyl radical (•OH). Superoxide ion (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) can also be produced as oxidants. This review summarizes the results reported for the discoloration and mineralization of synthetic and real waters contaminated with azo dyes covering up to November 2023. PS activation with iron, non-iron transition metals, and carbonaceous materials catalysts, heat, UVC light, photocatalysis, photodegradation with iron, electrochemical and related processes, microwaves, ozonation, ultrasounds, and other processes is detailed and analyzed. The principles and characteristics of each method are explained with special attention to the operating variables, the different oxidizing species generated yielding radical and non-radical mechanisms, the addition of inorganic anions and natural organic matter, the aqueous matrix, and the by-products identified. Finally, the overall loss of toxicity or partial detoxification of treated azo dye solutions during the PS-based AOPs is discussed.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 356:141867.

Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial world causes wastewater containing dyes to continue to increase. Even in recent years, the food, textile, cosmetic, plastic, and printing industries have developed the use of dyes. Methylene blue (MB) is one of the cationic dyes widely used in dyeing silk, wood, and cotton because of its absorbency and good fastness to materials. The adsorption process is the best technique and preferred in removing dyes from wastewater due to excellent selectivity, high efficiency from high-quality treated effluent, flexibility in design, and simplicity. Therefore, there is a growing interest to identify low-cost alternative adsorbents that have reasonable adsorption efficiency, especially natural materials such as leaves. In this study, research on MB adsorption using leaves was analyzed using bibliometric analysis. Information of bibliometric is extracted from the Scopus database with the keyword "Methylene Blue", "Adsorption or Desorption", and "Leaves or leaf". The results showed that India, Desalination and Water Treatment, and SASTRA Deemed University were the country, journal, and institution that contributed the most publications on this topic. Therefore, it is expected that with the use of bibliometrics, the use of leaf-based MB adsorption processes in their potential for MB dye removal can be investigated especially for large-scale development.

Abstract
This review provides insight into the current research trend in transition metal oxides (TMOs)-based photocatalysis in removing the organic colouring matters from water. For easy understanding, the research progress has been presented in four generations according to the catalyst composition and mode of application, viz: single component TMOs (the first-generation), doped TMOs/binary TMOs/doped binary TMOs (the second-generation), inactive/active support-immobilized TMOs (the third-generation), and ternary/quaternary compositions (the fourth-generation). The first two generations represent suspended catalysts, the third generation is supported catalysts, and the fourth generation can be suspended or supported. The review provides an elaborated comparison between suspended and supported catalysts, their general/specific requirements, key factors controlling degradation, and the methodologies for performance evaluation. All the plausible fundamental and advanced dye degradation mechanisms involved in each generation of catalysts were demonstrated. The existing challenges in TMOs-based photocatalysis and how the researchers approach the hitch to resolve it effectively are discussed. Future research trends are also presented.

MEMBRANES 2024; 14:92. [PMID: 38668120 PMCID: PMC11051798 DOI: 10.3390/membranes14040092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
The effective purification of aqueous solutions of methylene blue dye was tested using polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) that contained cellulose triacetate (CTA) as a polymer base, o-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as a plasticizer, and meso-tetra methyl tetrakis-[methyl-2-(4-acetlphenoxy)] calix[4]pyrrole (KP) as a carrier. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy were used to define the microstructure and surface of PIMs. Experimental results showed that, with an increased concentration of methylene blue in an aqueous solution, the removal percentage also increased. Further observation showed that the flux increased with the rise in the source phase pH values from 3 to 10. The carrier and plasticizer content in the membrane significantly influenced the membrane's transport properties. The optimal composition of the membrane in percent by weight for KP was 74% plasticizer; 18% support, and 8% carrier. The maximum MB removal (93.10%) was achieved at 0.10 M HCl solution as the receiving phase. It was shown that the membrane with optimal composition showed good reusability and enabled the easy and spontaneous separation of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases able to oxidize several phenolic compounds and find application in numerous industrial applications. Among laccase producers, white-rot fungi represent a valuable source of multiple isoforms and isoenzymes of these multicopper oxidases. Here we describe the identification, biochemical characterization, and application of laccase 2 from Trametes polyzona (TP-Lac2), a basidiomycete fungus emerged among others that have been screened by plate assay. This enzyme has an optimal temperature of 50 °C and in acidic conditions it is able to oxidize both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. The ability of TP-Lac2 to decolorize textile dyes was tested in the presence of natural and synthetic mediators at 30 °C and 50 °C. Our results indicate that TP-Lac2 most efficiently decolorizes (decolorization rate > 75%) malachite green oxalate, orange G, amido black10B and bromocresol purple in the presence of acetosyringone and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate)-ABTS. Overall, the laccase mediator system consisting of TP-Lac2 and the natural mediator acetosyringone has potential as an environmentally friendly alternative for wastewater treatment in the textile industry.

Abstract
The current study focuses on the degradation of Procion brilliant yellow H-E6G, an azo dye, using ultrasonic and hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), evaluating the impact of various parameters on the extent of degradation. The use of only ultrasound showed less oxidation capacity as indicated by only 19.1% degradation at an optimized power of 140 W, pH of 2.5, temperature of 40°C, and initial dye concentration of 15 ppm. The effectiveness of hybrid approaches involving US + H2 O2 , US + Fenton, and US + H2 O2 + potassium persulfate (KPS) was subsequently evaluated under optimized conditions. A notable enhancement in decolorization extent was observed for combined operations, including US + H2 O2 , US + Fenton, and US + H2 O2 + KPS (dual oxidant scheme) with the actual decolorization extents as 80.6%, 85%, and 92.2% respectively. An optimized scheme of US + H2 O2 + KPS was also utilized to decolorize the dye at a pilot scale using a US flow cell and also an HC reactor that yielded 91.8% and 88% reductions in initial concentration. The dye decolorization was elucidated to follow first-order kinetics for all the individual and combination approaches. The obtained values of the rate constants were also utilized for the evaluation of the synergistic index. A toxicity analysis was also performed on the dye, both before and following treatment, utilizing two bacterial strains. A comparative analysis of various treatment approaches has been presented focusing on factors such as cavitational yield, operational expenses, and energy requirements. The study elucidated that the combination of US + H2 O2 + KPS effectively removes Procion brilliant yellow H-E6G giving 92.2% as the maximum degradation at an operating cost of 0.1862 $/L. PRACTITIONER POINTS: First depiction of cavitative degradation of Procion brilliant yellow H-E6G Optimizing the equipment operating parameters and chemical oxidants Demonstration of optimized treatment scheme at pilot scale Evaluation of various approaches based on synergy and costs of treatment US + H2 O2 + KPS is the best approach for dye degradation.

Abstract
Organic dye pollution from textiles and other industries presents a substantial risk to people and aquatic life. The use of photocatalysis to decolorize water using the strength of UV light is one of the most important remediation techniques. In the present study, a novel nanocomposites hydrogel including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylic acid (AAc), Zinc oxide (ZnO), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles was produced using an eco-friendly γ-irradiation technique for photocatalytic decolorization applications. ZnO and Ag nanoparticles were distributed in the CMC/AAc hydrogel matrix without significant aggregation. SEM, XRD, EDX, TEM, and FTIR analyses were used to assess the physicochemical characteristics of the nanocomposite samples. Carboxymethyl cellulose/acrylic acid/Zinc oxide doped silver (CMC/PAAc/ZnO@Ag) nanocomposite hydrogels were developed and utilized in the photocatalytic decolorization of the lerui acid brilliant blue dye (LABB) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV- Vis spectrophotometry was utilized to analyze the optical properties of the produced nanostructure. Regarding the decolorization of the LABB, the impacts of operational variables were investigated. The optimum conditions for decolorization (93 %) were an initial concentration of 50 mg/L, pH = 4, catalyst dosage of 50 g/L, and exposure time of 90 min. The results illustrated that the LABB acidic dye from wastewater was remarkably decolored.

Tetracycline adsorption/desorption by raw and activated Tunisian clays. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 242:117536.

Abstract
Clay-based adsorbents have applications in environmental remediation, particularly in the removal of emerging pollutants such as antibiotics. Taking that into account, we studied the adsorption/desorption process of tetracycline (TC) using three raw and acid- or base-activated clays (AM, HJ1 and HJ2) collected, respectively, from Aleg (Mazzouna), El Haria (Jebess, Maknessy), and Chouabine (Jebess, Maknessy) formations, located in the Maknessy-Mazzouna basin, center-western of Tunisia. The main physicochemical properties of the clays were determined using standard procedures, where the studied clays presented a basic pH (8.39-9.08) and a high electrical conductivity (446-495 dS m-1). Their organic matter contents were also high (14-20%), as well as the values of the effective cation exchange capacity (80.65-97.45 cmolckg-1). In the exchange complex, the predominant cations were Na and Ca, in the case of clays HJ1 and AM, while Mg and Ca were dominant in the HJ2 clay. The sorption experimental setup consisted in performing batch tests, using 0.5 g of each clay sample, adding the selected TC concentrations, then carrying out quantification of the antibiotic by means of HPL-UV equipment. Raw clays showed high adsorption potential for TC (close to 100%) and very low desorption (generally less than 5%). This high adsorption capacity was also present in the clays after being activated with acid or base, allowing them to adsorb TC in a rather irreversible way for a wide range of pH (3.3-10) and electrical conductivity values (3.03-495 dS m-1). Adsorption experimental data were studied as regards their fitting to the Freundlich, Langmuir, Linear and Sips isotherms, being the Sips model the most appropriate to explain the adsorption of TC in these clays (natural or activated). These results could help to improve the overall knowledge on the application of new low-cost methods, using clay based adsorbents, to reduce risks due to emerging pollutants (and specifically TC) affecting the environment.

Abstract
This study introduces a chitosan/boehmite biocomposite as an efficient adsorbent for removing anionic Congo Red (CR) and non-ionic Bromothymol Blue (BTB) from water. Boehmite nanoparticles were synthesized using the Sol-gel method and then attached to chitosan particles using sodium tripolyphosphate through co-precipitation method. Characterized through FTIR, FE-SEM, BET, and XRD, the biosorbent displayed structural integrity with optimized pH conditions of 3 for CR and 4 for BTB, achieving over 90 % adsorption within 30 min. Pseudo second order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm revealed monolayer sorption with capacities of 64.93 mg/g for CR and 90.90 mg/g for BTB. Thermodynamics indicated a spontaneous and exothermic process, with physisorption as the primary mechanism. The biosorbent demonstrated excellent performance and recyclability over five cycles, highlighting its potential for eco-friendly dye removal in contaminated waters.

[PMID: 38016239 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
The complexity of wastewater matrix poses a challenge for conventional processes especially due to the presence of refractory compounds such as dyes. The present work focuses on utilizing ultrasound-induced cavitation in conjunction with different oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, Fenton's reagent and potassium persulfate to treat Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R dye containing wastewater. The impact of various operating parameters as pH, frequency, and power on degradation levels has been studied with the aim of optimizing degradation. The optimal conditions for the degradation of Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R were determined as pH of 12, frequency of 22 kHz, and power of 250 W, resulting in a maximum degradation of 70.25%. Combination of a cavitation reactor with hydrogen peroxide, Fenton reagent, and KPS was then applied at optimized conditions, which confirmed a notable enhancement in degradation compared to the only ultrasound based process. Specifically, the degradation extent was 95.99% for combination with H2O2 at 0.5 g/L loading, 99.79% for combination with Fenton at H2O2/Fe2+ ratio of 50:1, and 99.05% for combination with KPS at loading of 0.75 g/L. The kinetic rate constant for the combined approach of US + Fenton was also maximum at 7.47 × 10-1 L mg-1 min-1. Toxicity analysis was conducted on two bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, using the wastewater in native form and after treatment. The various processes were evaluated in terms of the cavitational yield and overall treatment cost and it was determined that US + Fenton process is the most efficient treatment method for fully degrading Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R, particularly at larger scales of operation and cost efficiently as demonstrated in the work.

[PMID: 38167469 PMCID: PMC10761961 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50273-3] [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: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Magnetic activated carbon resources with a remarkably high specific surface area have been successfully synthesized using orange peels as the precursor and ZnCl2 as the activating agent. The impregnation ratio was set at 0.5, while the pyrolysis temperature spanned from 700 to 900 °C. This comprehensive study delved into the influence of activation temperatures on the resultant pore morphology and specific surface area. Optimal conditions were discerned, leading to a magnetic activated carbon material exhibiting an impressive specific surface area at 700 °C. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area reached 155.09 m2/g, accompanied by a total pore volume of 0.1768 cm3/g, and a mean pore diameter of 4.5604 nm. The material displayed noteworthy properties, with saturation magnetization (Ms) reaching 17.28 emu/g, remanence (Mr) at 0.29 emu/g, and coercivity (Hc) of 13.71 G. Additionally, the composite demonstrated super-paramagnetic behaviour at room temperature, facilitating its rapid collection within 5 s through an external magnetic field. Factors such as absorbent dose, initial concentration of the adsorbate, contact time, and pH were systematically examined. The adsorption behaviour for acid orange 7 (AO7) was found to adhere to the Temkin isotherm models (R2 = 0.997). The Langmuir isotherm model suggested a monolayer adsorption, and the calculated maximum monolayer capacity (Qm) was 357.14 mg/g, derived from the linear solvation of the Langmuir model using 0.75 g/L as an adsorbent dose and 150-500 mg/L as AO7 dye concentrations. The pseudo-second order model proved to be the best fit for the experimental data of AO7 dye adsorption, with a high coefficient of determination (R2) ranging from 0.999 to 1.000, outperforming other kinetic models.

Abstract
Complex polymers represent a challenge for remediating environmental pollution and an opportunity for microbial-catalysed conversion to generate valorized chemicals. Members of the genus Streptomyces are of interest because of their potential use in biotechnological applications. Their versatility makes them excellent sources of biocatalysts for environmentally responsible bioconversion, as they have a broad substrate range and are active over a wide range of pH and temperature. Most Streptomyces studies have focused on the isolation of strains, recombinant work and enzyme characterization for evaluating their potential for biotechnological application. This review discusses reports of Streptomyces-based technologies for use in the textile and pulp-milling industry and describes the challenges and recent advances aimed at achieving better biodegradation methods featuring these microbial catalysts. The principal points to be discussed are (1) Streptomyces' enzymes for use in dye decolorization and lignocellulosic biodegradation, (2) biotechnological processes for textile and pulp and paper waste treatment and (3) challenges and advances for textile and pulp and paper effluent treatment.

Abstract
The discharge of synthetic dyes from different industrial sources has become a global issue of concern. Enormous amounts are released into wastewater each year, causing concerns due to the high toxic consequences. Photocatalytic semiconductors appear as a green and sustainable form of remediation. Among them, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been widely studied due to its low cost and ease of fabrication. In this work, the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic study over methylene blue of undoped, B/S-doped, and exfoliated heterojunctions of g-C3N4 are presented. The evaluation of the photocatalytic performance showed that exfoliated undoped/S-doped heterojunctions with 25, 50, and 75 mass % of S-doped (g-C3N4) present enhanced activity with an apparent reaction rate constant (kapp) of 1.92 × 10-2 min-1 for the 75% sample. These results are supported by photoluminescence (PL) experiments showing that this heterojunction presents the less probable electron-hole recombination. UV-vis diffuse reflectance and valence band-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (VB-XPS) allowed the calculation of the band-gap and the valence band positions, suggesting a band structure diagram describing a type I heterojunction. The photocatalytic activities calculated demonstrate that this property is related to the surface area and porosity of the samples, the semiconductor nature of the g-C3N4 structure, and, in this case, the heterojunction that modifies the band structure. These results are of great importance considering that scarce reports are found concerning exfoliated B/S-doped heterojunctions.

Abstract
The modification of the Tetraselmis sp. algae material (Tetra-Alg) with surfactant Cethyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) yielded adsorbent Tetra-Alg-CTAB as an adsorbent of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) solutions. The characterization of the adsorbent used an infrared (IR) spectrometer to identify functional groups and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX FEI Inspect-S50, Midland, ON, Canada) to determine the surface morphology and elemental composition. Methyl orange and methylene blue adsorption on the adsorbent Tetra-Alg, Tetraselmis sp. algae-modified Na+ ions (Tetra-Alg-Na), and Tetra-Alg-CTAB were studied, including variations in pH, contact time, concentration, and reuse of adsorbents. The adsorption of MO and MB by Tetra-Alg-CTAB at pH 10, during a contact time of 90 min, and at a concentration of 250 mg L-1 resulted in MO and MB being absorbed in the amounts of 128.369 and 51.013 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of MO and MB and Tetra-Alg, Tetra-Alg-Na, and Tetra-Alg-CTAB tend to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics models and Freundlich adsorption isotherms with each correlation coefficient value (R2) approaching 1. Due to the modification with the cationic surfactant CTAB, anionic dyes can be strongly sorbed in alkaline pH due to strong electrostatic attraction, while MB is more likely to involve cation exchange and hydrogen bonding. The reuse of Tetra-Alg-CTAB was carried out four times with adsorption percent > 70%, and the adsorbent was very effective in the adsorption of anionic dyes such as MO.

Abstract
Reactive dyes are often released into the environment during the washing process due to their susceptibility to hydrolysis. The hydrolysis experiment of a pure reactive dye, red 195 (RR 195), and the washing experiment of RR 195-colored fabrics (CFSCs) were carried out successively to explore the sources of hydrolyzed dyes in the washing microenvironment. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for the analysis of hydrolysis intermediates and final products of reactive red 195. The experimental results indicated that the structure of the dye washing shed is consistent with the final hydrolysate of reactive red 195, which is the main colored contaminant in washing wastewater. To eliminate the hydrolyzed dyes from the source, an electrochemical degradation device was designed. The degradation parameters, including voltage, electrolyte concentration, and dye shedding concentration are discussed in the electrochemical degradation experiment. The electrochemical degradation device was also successfully implemented and verified in a home washing machine.

Abstract
Dyes, such as indigo carmine, have become indispensable to modern life, being widely used in the food, textile, pharmaceutical, medicine, and cosmetic industry. Although indigo carmine is considered toxic and has many adverse effects, it is found in many foods, and the maximum permitted level is 500 mg/kg. Indigo carmine is one of the most used dyes in the textile industry, especially for dyeing denim, and it is also used in medicine due to its impressive applicability in diagnostic methods and surgical procedures, such as in gynecological and urological surgeries and microsurgery. It is reported that indigo carmine is toxic for humans and can cause various pathologies, such as hypertension, hypotension, skin irritations, or gastrointestinal disorders. In this review, we discuss the structure and properties of indigo carmine; its use in various industries and medicine; the adverse effects of its ingestion, injection, or skin contact; the effects on environmental pollution; and its toxicity testing. For this review, 147 studies were considered relevant. Most of the cited articles were those about environmental pollution with indigo carmine (51), uses of indigo carmine in medicine (45), and indigo carmine as a food additive (17).

Abstract
Dye is emissions aggravating aquatic ecosystem pollution, and photocatalysis is considered the most appealing option to remove dyes by degradation. However, the current photocatalysts suffer from agglomeration, large bandgaps, high mass transfer resistance, and high operation cost. Herein, we present a facile hydrothermally induced phase separation and in situ synthesis strategy for fabrication of sodium bismuth sulfide (NaBiS2)-decorated chitosan/cellulose sponges (NaBiCCSs). The NaBiCCSs demonstrate unique polysaccharide cellular structure (150-500 μm), uniformly immobilized NaBiS2 nanoparticles (70-90 nm), narrow bandgap (1.18 eV), high photocurrent (0.74 μA/cm2), and outstanding compressibility. Benefiting from the characteristics and the high affinity to dyes, the NaBiCCSs provide innovative synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic degradation model for dye removal, attaining a superior methylene blue removal rate of 98.38 % under visible light illumination and offering good reusability. This study offers a sustainable technical solution for dye contaminant removal.

Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants and dyes cause major problems during ecofriendly wastewater treatment. To overcome this huge problem, several techniques have been considered and in practice for the safe disposal of organic pollutants in recent years; some of them are discussed and compared herein. This review focuses on new trends for wastewater treatment and compares them with certain other techniques alongside their pros and cons; adsorption is considered the safest among them. Adsorbents derived from agri-wastes have good capacity for the removal of these contaminants owing to their great sorption capacity, high reusability, easy operation, etc. Sometimes they need some modifications for the removal of dyes, which are also discussed in this review. This capacity of adsorbents to chelate dye molecules can be affected by factors, such as pH, the concentration of dyes and adsorbents, and temperature of the system. pH has direct influence on the ionization potential and charge on the outer surface of adsorbents. The findings on isotherms, kinetics, and desorption of plant waste-based biomaterials that are safe for the ecosystem and user friendly and are used for hazardous contaminant removal from water are summarized in this review. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives are presented, and some other materials, such as CNTs and MOFs, are also discussed as efficient adsorbents for eliminating dyes from wastewater. Finally, it is predicted that the adsorption of dyes is a more feasible solution for this dye pollution problem.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibers decorated with SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2-CNF) were prepared by the extraction of cellulose nanofibers from Yucca leaves, followed by modification with SiO2 nanoparticles, and used as efficient materials for the removal of both anionic and cationic dyes from the aqueous solution. Prepared nanostructures were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction powder (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The adsorption capacity of the nanostructures was investigated for the removal of both cationic (Methylene Blue, MB, and Crystal Violet, CV) and anionic (Eriochrome Black-T, EB) dyes. The kinetics of adsorption were investigated using some well-known models, including intraparticular diffusion (IPD), pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), and Elovich. The adsorption isotherms were also explored using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson models. The obtained results revealed that the adsorption processes follow PSO kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. Thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption were measured at different temperatures, indicating the feasibility and spontaneity of the adsorption. The pH and salt effects on adsorption were also explored. Finally, according to the reusability tests, the prepared adsorbents showed high recoverability without considerable loss in adsorption efficiency after five repeated runs.

Abstract
Discharging untreated dye-containing wastewater gives rise to environmental pollution. The present study investigated the removal efficiency and adsorption mechanism of Acid Red 18 (AR18) utilizing hexadecyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride (HDTMA.Cl) modified Nano-pumice (HMNP), which is a novel adsorbent for AR18 removal. The HDTMA.Cl is characterized by XRD, XRF, FESEM, TEM, BET and FTIR analysis. pH, contact time, initial concentration of dye and adsorbent dose were the four different parameters for investigating their effects on the adsorption process. Response surface methodology-central composite design was used to model and improve the study to reduce expenses and the number of experiments. According to the findings, at the ideal conditions (pH = 4.5, sorbent dosage = 2.375 g/l, AR18 concentration = 25 mg/l, and contact time = 70 min), the maximum removal effectiveness was 99%. The Langmuir (R2 = 0.996) and pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.999) models were obeyed by the adsorption isotherm and kinetic, respectively. The nature of HMNP was discovered to be spontaneous, and thermodynamic investigations revealed that the AR18 adsorption process is endothermic. By tracking the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for five cycles under ideal conditions, the reusability of HMNP was examined, which showed a reduction in HMNP's adsorption effectiveness from 99 to 85% after five consecutive recycles.

Abstract
Ash collected from thrown-away by-products while preparing a popular traditional food additive, kolakhar of the Assamese community of North East, India, was used as an alternate cost-effective, porous bioadsorbent option from the conventional activated carbon for the purification of carcinogenic dyes laden water. The base material for kolakhar preparation was taken from the discarded banana stem waste to stimulate agricultural waste management. Methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsin (BF) dyes were used as model cationic dyes. Characterization techniques like CHN, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis of the prepared banana stem ash (BSA) reveal the presence of high inorganic contents and functional groups in the irregular, porous bioadsorbent with surface area 55.534 m2 g-1. Various regulating parameters studied to optimize the adsorption capacity of BSA were bioadsorbent dose (0.1-3 g/L), temperature (298-318 K), contact time (0-150 min), pH (2-9), and initial dye concentrations (10-40 mg/L). Non-linear kinetic models suggested Elovich for both MB and BF adsorption, while the non-linear isotherm model suggested Langmuir and Temkin for MB and BF adsorption, respectively, as best-fitted curves. The monolayer adsorption capacity (qm) for MB and BF was 15.22 mg/g and 24.08 mg/g at 318 K, respectively, with more than 95% removal efficiency for both dyes. The thermodynamic parameters studied indicated that the adsorption is spontaneous. The ∆H0 values of MB and BF adsorptions were 2.303 kJ/mol (endothermic) and - 29.238 kJ/mol (exothermic), respectively.

In Situ Synthesis of Crystalline MoS 2@ZIF-67 Nanocomposite for the Efficient Removal of Methyl Orange Dye from Aqueous Media. MICROMACHINES 2023; 14:1534.

Abstract
The zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) adsorbent and its composites are known to effectively remove organic dyes from aqueous environments. Here, we report a unique crystalline MoS2@ZIF-67 nanocomposite adsorbent for the efficient removal of methyl orange (MO) dye from an aqueous medium. In situ synthetic techniques were used to fabricate a well-crystalline MoS2@ZIF-67 nanocomposite, which was then discovered to be a superior adsorbent to its constituents. The successful synthesis of the nanocomposite was confirmed using XRD, EDX, FTIR, and SEM. The MoS2@ZIF-67 nanocomposite exhibited faster adsorption kinetics and higher dye removal efficiency compared with its constituents. The adsorption kinetic data matched well with the pseudo-second-order model, which signifies that the MO adsorption on the nanocomposite is a chemically driven process. The Langmuir model successfully illustrated the MO dye adsorption on the nanocomposite through comparing the real data with adsorption isotherm models. However, it appears that the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model was also in competition with the Langmuir model. According to the acquired thermodynamics parameters, the adsorption of MO on the MoS2@ZIF-67 nanocomposite surface was determined to be spontaneous and exothermic. The findings of this research open an avenue for using the MoS2@ZIF-67 nanocomposite to efficiently remove organic dyes from wastewater efflux.

Abstract
Although rapid industrialization has made life easier for humans, several associated issues are emerging and harming the environment. Wastewater is regarded as one of the key problems of the 21st century due to its massive production every year and requires immediate attention from all stakeholders to protect the environment. Since the introduction of nanotechnology, bismuth-based nanomaterials have been used in variety of applications. Various techniques, such as hydrothermal, solvo-thermal and biosynthesis, have been reported for synthesizing these materials, etc. Among these, biosynthesis is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and less toxic than conventional chemical methods. The prime focuses of this review are to elaborate biosynthesis of bismuth-based nanomaterials via bio-synthetic agents such as plant, bacteria and fungi and their application in wastewater treatment as anti-pathogen/photocatalyst for pollutant degradation. Besides this, future perspectives have been presented for the upcoming research in this field, along with concluding remarks.

Abstract
Effective removal of toxic inorganic and organic pollutants is one of the current leading challenges of wastewater treatment. In this study, the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation was investigated in the presence of copper nanoclusters (NCs)-deposited polyethylene terephthalate (PET) track-etched hybrid membranes. PET track-etched membranes (TeMs) with an average pore size of ~400 nm were grafted by functional acrylic acid (AA) monomer under electron beam irradiation after oxidation with H2O2/UV system. The radiation dose varied between 46 and 200 kGy. For the deposition of copper NCs, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-grafted membranes saturated with Cu(II) ions were irradiated either by electron beam or γ-rays to obtain copper-based NCs for the catalytic degradation of MB. Irradiation to 100 kGy with accelerated electrons resulted in the formation of small and uniform copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) nanoparticles homogeneously distributed over the entire volume of the template. On the other hand, irradiation under γ-rays yielded composites with copper NCs with a high degree of crystallinity. However, the size of the deposited NCs obtained by γ-irradiation was not uniform. Nanoparticles with the highest uniformity were obtained at 150 kGy dose. Detailed analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the loading of copper nanoparticles with an average size of 100 nm on the inner walls of nanochannels and on the surface of PET TeMs. Under UV light irradiation, composite membranes loaded with NCs exhibited high photocatalytic activity. It was determined that the highest catalytic activity was observed in the presence of Cu(OH)2@PET-g-PAA membrane obtained at 250 kGy. More than 91.9% of the initial dye was degraded when this hybrid membrane was employed for 180 min, while only 83.9% of MB was degraded under UV light using Cu@PET-g-PAA membrane. Cu(OH)2@PET-g-PAA membranes obtained under electron beam irradiation demonstrated a higher photocatalytic activity compared to Cu@PET-g-PAA membranes attained by γ-rays.

Abstract
Persistent contaminants in wastewater effluent pose a significant threat to aquatic life and are one of the most significant environmental concerns of our time. Although there are a variety of traditional methods available in wastewater treatment, including adsorption, coagulation, flocculation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, co-precipitation and solvent extraction, none of these have been found to be significantly cost-effective in removing toxic pollutants from the water environment. The upfront costs of these treatment methods are extremely high, and they require the use of harmful synthetic chemicals. For this reason, the development of new technologies for the treatment and recycling of wastewater is an absolute necessity. Our way of life can be made more sustainable by the synthesis of adsorbents based on biomass, making the process less harmful to the environment. Biopolymers offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers, which are manufactured by joining monomer units through covalent bonding. This review presents a detailed classification of biopolymers such as pectin, alginate, chitosan, lignin, cellulose, chitin, carrageen, certain proteins, and other microbial biomass compounds and composites, with a focus on their sources, methods of synthesis, and prospective applications in wastewater treatment. A concise summary of the extensive body of knowledge on the fate of biopolymers after adsorption is also provided. Finally, consideration is given to open questions about future developments leading to environmentally friendly and economically beneficial applications of biopolymers.

Abstract
With the development of global industry, industrial wastewater pollution has caused serious environmental problems, and the demand for green and sustainable adsorbents is increasingly strong in the society. In this article, lignin/cellulose hydrogel materials were prepared using sodium lignosulfonate and cellulose as raw materials and 0.1% acetic acid solution as a solvent. The results showed that the optimal adsorption conditions for Congo red were as follows: an adsorption time of 4 h, a pH value of 6, and an adsorption temperature of 45 °C. The adsorption process was in line with the Langmuir isothermal model and a quasi-second-order kinetic model, which belonged to single molecular layer adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 294.0 mg/g. The optimal adsorption conditions for Malachite green were as follows: an adsorption time of 4 h, a pH value of 4, and an adsorption temperature of 60 °C. The adsorption process was consistent with the Freundlich isothermal model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which belonged to the chemisorption-dominated multimolecular layer adsorption with the maximum adsorption capacity of 129.8 mg/g.

Abstract
Water pollution is a global issue as a consequence of rapid industrialization and urbanization. Organic compounds which are generated from various industries produce problematic pollutants in water. Recently, metal oxide (TiO2, SnO2, CeO2, ZrO2, WO3, and ZnO)-based semiconductors have been explored as excellent photocatalysts in order to degrade organic pollutants in wastewater. However, their photocatalytic performance is limited due to their high band gap (UV range) and recombination time of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Strategies for improving the performance of these metal oxides in the fields of photocatalysis are discussed. To improve their photocatalytic activity, researchers have investigated the concept of doping, formation of nanocomposites and core-shell nanostructures of metal oxides. Rare-earth doped metal oxides have the advantage of interacting with functional groups quickly because of the 4f empty orbitals. More precisely, in this review, in-depth procedures for synthesizing rare earth doped metal oxides and nonocomposites, their efficiency towards organic pollutants degradation and sources have been discussed. The major goal of this review article is to propose high-performing, cost-effective combined tactics with prospective benefits for future industrial applications solutions.

Abstract
The hydrolysis acidification process is an economical and effective method, but its efficiency is still low in treating azo dye wastewater. It is therefore crucial to find more suitable and efficient means or techniques to further strengthen the process of treating azo dye wastewater by a hydrolytic acidification process. In this study, a hydrolytic acidification aerobic reactor was used to simulate the azo dye wastewater process. The change of wastewater quality during the reaction process was monitored, and the deep enhancement effect of single or composite biological intensification technology on the treatment of azo dye wastewater by the hydrolytic acidification process was also explored. Co-substrate strengthening and the addition of fructose co-substrate can significantly improve the efficiency of hydrolytic acidification. Compared with the experimental group without the addition of fructose, the decolorization ratio of wastewater was higher (93%) after adding fructose co-substrate. The immobilization technology was strengthened, and the immobilized functional bacteria DDMZ1 pellet was used to treat the simulated azo dye wastewater. The results showed that the composite technology experimental group with the additional fructose co-matrix had a better decolorization efficiency than the single immobilized bio-enhancement technology, with the highest decolorization ratio of 97%. As a composite biological intensification method, the fructose co-matrix composite with immobilized functional bacteria DDMZ1 technology can be applied to the treatment of azo dye wastewater.

Abstract
Textile effluent contains a highly toxic and refractory azo dyes. Eco-friendly method for efficient decolorization and degradation of textile effluent is essential. In the present study, treatment of textile effluent was carried through sequential electro oxidation (EO) and photo electro oxidation (PEO) using RuO2-IrO2 coated titanium electrode as an anode and cathode followed by biodegradation. The pre-treatment of textile effluent by photo electro oxidation for 14 h exhibited 92% of decolorization. Subsequent biodegradation of the pre-treated textile effluent enhanced the reduction of chemical oxygen demand to 90%. Metagenomics results exhibited that Flavobacterium, Dietzia, Curtobacterium, Mesorhizobium, Sphingobium, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Prevotellaand Stenotrophomonas bacterial communities majorly involved in the biodegradation of textile effluent. Hence, integrating sequential photo electro oxidation and biodegradation proposed an efficient and eco-friendly approach for treating textile effluent.

Abstract
Among various methods of developing hydrogen energy, electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is one of the approaches to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions. It is of great significance to develop highly active and stable catalysts to improve the efficiency of hydrogen production. In recent years, the construction of nanoscale heterostructure electrocatalysts through interface engineering can not only overcome the shortcomings of single-component materials to effectively improve their electrocatalytic efficiency and stability but also adjust the intrinsic activity or design synergistic interfaces to improve catalytic performance. Among them, some researchers proposed to replace the slow oxygen evolution reaction at the anode with the oxidation reaction of renewable resources such as biomass to improve the catalytic efficiency of the overall water splitting. The existing reviews in the field of electrocatalysis mainly focus on the relationship between the interface structure, principle, and principle of catalytic reaction, and some articles summarize the performance and improvement schemes of transition metal electrocatalysts. Among them, few studies are focusing on Fe/Co/Ni-based heterogeneous compounds, and there are fewer summaries on the oxidation reactions of organic compounds at the anode. To this end, this paper comprehensively describes the interface design and synthesis, interface classification, and application in the field of electrocatalysis of Fe/Co/Ni-based electrocatalysts. Based on the development and application of current interface engineering strategies, the experimental results of biomass electrooxidation reaction (BEOR) replacing anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are discussed, and it is feasible to improve the overall electrocatalytic reaction efficiency by coupling with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In the end, the challenges and prospects for the application of Fe/Co/Ni-based heterogeneous compounds in water splitting are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Nanocellulose shows potential as an effective natural adsorbent for removing harmful contaminants from wastewater. This paper describes the development of innovative nanocellulose thin films made of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and active carbon (AC) as adsorbent materials for absorbing azo dyes from wastewater. The CNCs were recovered from sugarcane bagasse using alkali treatment and acid hydrolysis. The composition and processing parameters of the thin films were optimized, and their adsorption capacity was determined using thermodynamic isotherms and adsorption kinetics. Adsorption characteristics such as the methylene blue (MB) dye concentration, contact time, temperature, and pH were investigated to determine how they affected adsorption. The results show that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. At an adsorbent mass of 50 mg, dye concentration of 50 ppm in 50 mL, and contact period of 120 min at 25 °C, the thin film comprising 64 wt% CNC, 16 wt% PAA, and 20 wt% AC showed high dye removal efficiency (86.3%) and adsorption capacity (43.15 mg/g). The MB removal efficiency increased to 95.56% and the adsorption capacity to 47.78 mg/g when the medium's pH was gradually increased from neutral to alkaline. The nontoxicity, low production cost, water stability, easy recovery, and high adsorption capacity of these membranes make them suitable for water treatment systems.

Abstract
The growing worldwide population is directly responsible for the increased production and consumption of textile products. One of the key reasons for the generation of microfibers is the use of textiles and garment materials, which is expected to increase. The textile industry is responsible for the invisible pollution that is created by textile microfibers, which have been detected in marine sediments and organisms. The present review paper demonstrates that the microfibers discharged from functionalized textiles exhibit non-biodegradable characteristics and that a considerable proportion of them possess toxic properties. This is primarily attributed to the impact of textiles' material functionalization on their biodegradability. The potential for these microfibers, which are released from textiles that contain a variety of dyes, toxic chemicals, and nanomaterials, to pose a variety of health risks to both humans and other living organisms is discussed in this paper. In addition, this paper covers a wide variety of preventative and minimizing measures for reduction, which are discussed in terms of several phases ranging from sustainable production through the consumer, end of life, domestic washing, and wastewater treatment phases.

Abstract
Textile waste water contains dyes and chemicals that produce harmful vapors and exhaust gases, which is hazardous to the environment and public health. Therefore, it must be carefully treated before discharged. To understand the research evolution in the research area of textile waste water treatment, based on bibliometrics, an in-depth analysis of the publications and hotspots in this area was presented in this paper. For the analysis, totally 6774 papers related to the research area that are published between the year 1964 and 2023 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer as bibliometric analysis tools, the collaboration of countries, regions, and organizations was investigated. Besides, an analysis for citation and co-citation of journals, authors, references, and co-occurrence of keywords was performed. The evolution of research hotspots in the three major research directions related to degradation, oxidation, and adsorption is also analyzed in this paper. The analysis results show that researches related to oxidation and adsorption are active in recent years, while nanocomposite adsorbents and graphene oxide are the current research hotspots.

Abstract
The lack of sufficient active binding sites in commonly reported sodium alginate (SA)-based porous beads hampers their performances in adsorption of water contaminants. To address this problem, porous SA-SiO2 beads functionalized with poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) (PAMPS) are reported in this work. Due to the porous properties and the existence of abundant sulfonate groups, the obtained composite material SA-SiO2-PAMPS shows excellent adsorption capacity toward cationic dye methylene blue (MB). The adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm studies reveal that the adsorption process fits closely to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively, suggesting the existence of chemical adsorption and monolayer adsorption behavior. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir model is found to be 427.36, 495.05, and 564.97 mg/g under 25, 35, and 45 °C, respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters indicate that MB adsorption on SA-SiO2-PAMPS is spontaneous and endothermic.

Abstract
Industrial effluents result in water pollution and affect the biological activity of aquatic and terrestrial life. In this study, efficient fungal strains were isolated from the aquatic environment and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus (SN8c) and Aspergillus terreus (SN40b). The isolates were selected based on their potential to efficiently decolorize and detoxify Remazol brilliant blue (RBB) dye, which is extensively used in different industries. Initially, a total of 70 different fungal isolates were screened. Among these, 19 isolates demonstrated dye decolorization capabilities, and SN8c and SN40b revealed the highest decolorization capabilities in liquid medium. The maximum estimated decolorization for SN8c was 91.3% and for SN40b, 84.5% at 40 mg/L of RBB dye in the presence of glucose (1 gm/L), after 5 days of incubation at different levels of pH, temperature, nutrient source, and concentration. RBB dye decolorization using SN8c and SN40b isolates was at a maximum of 99% at pH 3–5, whereas minimum decolorization was recorded as 71.29% and 73.4% SN8c, respectively, at pH 11. The maximum decolorization of the dye was 93% and 90.9% in a defined glucose concentration of 1 gm/L, and a 63.01% decrease was recorded in the decolorization activity at a low level of glucose concentration (0.2 gm/L). Finally, the decolorization and degradation were detected using UV spectrometry and HPLC. Toxicity tests of pure dye and treated dye samples were checked against the seed germination of different plants and the larvae mortality of Artemia salina. This study revealed that indigenous aquatic fungal flora can recover contaminated sites and support aquatic and terrestrial life.

Abstract
A facile bottom up synthesis technique is opted for the preparation of novel composite SnO2@Zn-BTC. This synthesized composite is fully characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Elemental mapping techniques. Optical analysis was performed using UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence studies. Further this composite was utilized for the first time as a photocatalyst for methylene blue (MB) dye degradation under sunlight irradiation. This photocatalyst shows degradation efficiency of 89% within 100 min of exposure of sunlight. In addition to that, the synthesized composite can be utilized as a fluorescence probe for detection of NACs via 'turn-off" quenching response. This composite is extremely sensitive towards 3-NA in aqueous medium with quenching efficiency of 75.42%, which is highest quenching rate till reported. There occurs no interference for detecting 3-NA in the presence of other NACs. The linear fitting of the Stern-Volmer plot for 3-NA shows large quenching constant (KSV) of 0.0115 ppb-1 with correlation coefficient R2 = 0.9943 proves higher sensitivity of composite in sensing process. The outstanding sensitivity of composite for 3-NA is certified by the low detection limit (LOD) of 25 ppb (0.18 µM). Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) are the mechanisms used for clarification of quenching response of PL intensity by NACs via density functional theory (DFT) calculations and extent spectral overlap, respectively. Hence, synthesized composite is verified as multi-component system to act as excellent photocatalyst as well as fluorescent sensor.

Abstract
In this work, pectin biopolymers were functionalized with dichloride (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato) antimony [Sb(TPP)Cl2] at various compositions (0.5%, 1%, and 2%). The prepared compounds were characterized with several analytical methods, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric-differential thermal (TGA/DTG) analysis. The XRF technique evidenced the presence of Sb metal in the composite beads. FT-IR suggested that the interaction between pectin and the [Sb(TPP)Cl2] complex was assured by inter- and intramolecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯Cg π interactions (Cg is the centroid of the pyrrole and phenyl rings). The morphological features of the prepared polymeric beads were affected by the addition of [Sb(TPP)Cl2] particles, and the surface became rough. The thermal residual mass for the composite beads (29%) was more important than that of plain beads (23%), which confirmed the presence of inorganic matter in the modified polymeric beads. At 20 °C, the highest adsorption amounts of methylene blue were 39 mg/g and 68 mg/g for unmodified pectin and pectin-[Sb(TPP)Cl2] beads, respectively. The adsorption mechanism correlated well with the kinetic equation of the second order and the isotherm of Freundlich. The prepared polymeric beads were characterized as moderate-to-good adsorbents. The calculated thermodynamic parameters demonstrated an exothermic and thermodynamically nonspontaneous mechanism.
