Abstract
Water constitutes an indispensable resource for global life but remains susceptible to pollution from diverse human activities. To mitigate this issue, researchers are committed to purifying water using a variety of materials to remove harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with their intriguing, layered structure and chemical behavior, have attained substantial attention for their effectiveness in removing heavy metal cations and various inorganic oxoanions from water. To enhance the efficiency, considerable endeavors have focused on functionalizing LDHs with different chemical species. Intercalation with metal sulfides has proven to be particularly effective, facilitating heavy metal absorption through multiple mechanisms, including ion-exchange, reductive precipitation, and surface sorption. This review concentrates on the synthesis and performance of polysulfide (Sx, x = 2-5), Mo-S, and Sn-S anion intercalated LDHs for heavy metal cations and inorganic oxoanion sorption, along with their mechanisms. Furthermore, the discussion includes prospects for expanding the chemistry of metal sulfide intercalated LDHs, with existing challenges and future outlooks.

Abstract
Effective removal of chemically toxic selenium oxoanions at high-capacity and trace levels from contaminated water remains a challenge in current scientific pursuits. Here, we report the functionalization of the MgAl layered double hydroxide with molybdenum-oxysulfide (MoO2S2) anion, referred to as LDH-MoO2S2, and its potential to sequester SeVIO42- and SeIVO32- from aqueous solution. LDH-MoO2S2 nanosheets were synthesized by an ion exchange method in solution. Synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) revealed an unexpected transformation of the MoO2S22- to Mo2O2S62- like species during the intercalation process. LDH-MoO2S2 is remarkably efficient in removing SeO42- and SeO32- ions from the ppm to trace level (≤10 ppb), with distribution constant (Kd) ranging from 104 to 105 mL/g. This material showed exceptionally high sorption capacities of 237 and 358 mg/g for SeO42- and SeO32-, respectively. Furthermore, LDH-MoO2S2 demonstrates substantial affinity and efficiency to remove SeO32-/SeO42- even in the presence of competitive ions from contaminated water. Hence, the removal of selenium (VI/IV) oxoanions collectively occurs through reductive precipitation and ion exchange mechanisms. This work provides significant insights into the chemical structure of the MoO2S2 anion into LDH and emphasizes its exceptional potential for high-capacity selenium removal and positioning it as a premier sorbent for selenium oxoanions.

Abstract
Wet purification technology for nonferrous metal smelting flue gas is important for mercury removal; however, this technology produces a large amounts of spent scrubbing solution that contain mercury. The mercury in these scrubbing solutions pose a great threat to the environment. Therefore, this research provides a novel strategy for removing and recycling mercury from the scrubbing solution, which is significant for decreasing mercury pollution while also allowing for the safe disposal of wastewater and a stable supply of mercury resources. Some critical parameters for the electrochemical reduction of mercury were studied in detail. Additionally, the electrodeposition dynamics and electroreduction mechanism for mercury were evaluated. Results suggested that over 92.4% of mercury could be removed from the scrubbing solution in the form of a Hg-Cu alloy under optimal conditions within 150 min and with a current efficiency of approximately 75%. Additionally, mercury electrodeposition was a quasi-reversible process, and the controlled step was the mass transport of the reactant. A pre-conversion step from Hg(Tu)42+ to Hg(Tu)32+ before mercury electroreduction was necessary. Then, the formed Hg(Tu)32+ on the cathode surface gained electrons step by step. After electrodeposition, the mercury in the spent cathode could be recycled by thermal desorption. The results of the electrochemical reduction of mercury and subsequent recycling provides a practical and easy-to-adopt alternative for recycling mercury resources and decreasing mercury contamination.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 403:123940. [PMID: 33264987 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metals existed as multiple types in wastewater, enhanced the difficulty for disposal, and aroused huge environmental issues. High selective adsorption of the most hazardous heavy metals is one important method for water purification and resource utilization. In this study, we assembled the [SnS4]4- clusters and MgFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) to synthesize the [SnS4]4-/LDH composites, to capture mercury and arsenic ions simultaneously. The results indicated that such composite exhibited excellent mercury and arsenic removal performance with higher than 99% removal efficiency at a wide pH range. The uptake of mercury was ascribed to the [SnS4]4- clusters sites while the arsenic removal was mainly due to the existence of Fe site in LDH composite. The inserted [SnS4]4- clusters can enlarge the surface areas and create a hierarchical pore channel due to the increased interlayer spacing of LDH, which can enhance the adsorption capacity. The different adsorption mechanisms were also indicated by dynamic analysis. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model was more suitable for both Hg(II) and As(III) adsorption in the dual-heavy metal solution, and neither Langmuir isotherm model nor Freundlich isotherm model fitted the Hg(II) and As(III) adsorption in the mixed solution. The adsorption progress was influenced due to the coexistence of another heavy metal. Besides, mercury can be collected from the spent materials using a thermal-heating method. Such composite exhibits promising potential for mercury recycling.

Abstract
The exploitation of a new adsorbent with a high adsorption performance and recyclability is of great practical significance for the treatment of wastewater containing mercury ions. In this study, a novel membrane adsorbent was fabricated by blending MoS2 nanosheets into a PVDF polymer matrix (P-PVDF/MoS2) followed by non-solvent-induced phase conversion. This material was able to bind mercury ions and was not affected by the solution ionic strength, co-existing anions, or interfering heavy metal ions. The optimal pH range for mercury ion elimination was 4.5-6.0, and P-PVDF/MoS2 exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 578 mg g-1. The pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models best described the adsorption process. The adsorption mechanism was mainly monolayer chemisorption, for which the S groups were the major active sites. Furthermore, the membrane could be removed from the aqueous solution easily using tweezers, and the removal efficiency of mercury ions remained over 90% after ten cycles. This study suggests that the inexpensive and recyclable P-PVDF/MoS2 membranes can be used for the efficient removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater at a large scale.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 270:110883. [PMID: 32721322 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this research, recycled polyacrylonitrile fibers (PANFs) acquired from the textile recycling process were amino-functionalized in one simple step by means of ethylenediamine (EDA). The amino-functionalized polyacrylonitrile fibers (AF-PANFs) were utilized for adsorption of Hg(II) ions from aquatic media. Temperature and contact time during the synthesis were optimized by the Central Composite Design (CCD) method. FE-SEM, EDS, BET, and FT-IR analysis, and pHZPC measurement were conducted to characterize the features of the AF-PANFs. The average diameter of raw fiber was 20 μm, which increased 20 percent after functionalizing. The impact of independent parameters on the adsorption process was investigated using the Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method during the batch experiments. The column tests were conducted in a semi-continuous system with the removal efficiency of over 99% for various initial concentrations after specific cycles. Freundlich, Langmuir, UT, Redlich-Peterson, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to analyze the relation between the final concentration of Hg(II) (Co) and the equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe) of the AF-PANFs. According to the isotherm models and experimental results, the maximum qe of the AF-PANFs was 1116 mg g-1 at initial Hg(II) concentration of 850 mg L-1, contact time of 120 min, solution pH of 6, and at 40 °C. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies illustrated the approximate equilibrium time and endothermicity or exothermicity of the process. Regeneration of the AF-PANFs was accomplished for seven times without efficiency drop. The superb performance of the AF-PANFs in the presence of co-existing ions did not decline.
