Abstract
Removing toxic Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution by the peels of citrus reticulate (mandarin orange), a fruit industry waste, presents suitable scale-up possibilities. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) studies reflected that the mandarin orange peel powder had a porous surface area (32.46 m2g-1), average pore size and pore volume was 38.6 Å and 0.402 cm3g-1, respectively, favorable for binding Pb(II) ions. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed C-Br stretching, primary alcohol (C-O), phenolic O-H, and carbodimide N = C = N bands primarily helped to bind Pb(II) ions. The study evaluated and optimized the parametric influences of pH, adsorbate and biosorbent concentration, contact time and temperature on the removal efficiency of Pb(II) ions. A maximum of 97.08% Pb(II) was removed from 20 mg L-1 solution when 2.5 g L-1 adsorbent was present. The reaction obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The intra-particle diffusion was involved in lead sorption. The Langmuir isotherm model resulted in an adsorption capacity of 23.04 mg g-1. 35.28% Pb(II) was removed in the 3rd adsorption-desorption cycle with 0.4 M HCl. The adsorption process was natural, impulsive and endothermic. The statistical investigation used Multiple Polynomial Regression (MPR) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The analysis effectively forecasted the percentage removal at the optimized condition.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 258:119430. [PMID: 38885826 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
A silica gel-modified borage biochar (BB@Si) was first produced and used as a binding agent for potentially hazardous Ni2+ ions in aqueous systems. The recommended biochar was more effective in eliminating Ni2+ than pristine biochar (BB). Its maximum qm could reach up to 1.39 × 10-3 mol/g at 30 °C, and sorption isotherms showed that the Langmuir model could more accurately define its sorption behavior. The Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm also revealed that the average sorption energy ranged from 11.00 to 11.14 kJ/mol. Zeta potential tests, SEM images, and FT-IR scans confirmed the interactions between BB@Si and Ni2+ ions. Dynamic flow treatment studies showed high uptake effectiveness when the flow rate and amount of BB@Si were suitable. Nickel desorption yield of around 80% from BB@Si was noted with 0.01 M HCl. The BB@Si column's breakthrough and exhausted points were identified to be 45 and 352 min, respectively. Its maximum exhaustion capacity value was determined to be 52.73 mg/g. Ni2+ removal from the actual wastewater sample exceeded 75%. The resulting outcomes imply the immense potential of employing BB@Si in the treatment of Ni2+- contaminated aqueous systems.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of coexistence with microplastics and co-ageing with the soil on adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of biochar for heavy metals were investigated. Adsorption experiments of Cd, Ni, and Cu by microplastics, biochar, and their combination were conducted in single, binary, and ternary systems. The results indicated that the heavy metal adsorption by microplastics was ranked as Ni > Cd > Cu, which increased with decreasing particle size, and the adsorption capacity of microplastics was enhanced after dry-wet and freeze-thaw ageing. Biochar preferentially adsorbed Cd in the single system, while the maximum adsorption of Cu was observed in the binary and ternary systems due to the minimizing impact of competition on the Cu adsorption by biochar. The heavy metal adsorption by the combination of microplastics and biochar was less than that by single biochar, and the smaller the particle size of microplastics, the greater the negative effects on heavy metal adsorption. Coexistence with microplastics reduced Cd adsorption of biochar by 0.72 %-50.35 %, Ni adsorption by 1.17 %-30.43 %, and Cu adsorption by 5.78 %-47.88 %, respectively. Moreover, coexistence with microplastics exacerbated the adverse impacts of competition on biochar adsorption for heavy metals. The contribution percentages of biochar mineral mechanisms for heavy metal adsorption were ranked as Cu > Cd > Ni. When coexisting with microplastics or after ageing, the mineral mechanisms of heavy metal adsorption by biochar significantly decreased. This study investigated the competitive adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of heavy metals by biochar when coexisting with microplastics, which highlighted that the application of biochar for the remediation of heavy metal pollution should be concerned with the impacts of microplastics.

Insights into the effect of hydrochar-derived dissolved organic matter on the sorption of diethyl phthalate onto soil: A pilot mechanism study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169101. [PMID: 38072267 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
Biowaste-derived hydrochar is an emerging close-to-natural product and has shown promise for soil improvement and remediation, but the environmental behavior of the dissolved organic matter released from hydrochar (HDOM) is poorly understood. Focusing on the typical mulch film plasticizer diethyl phthalate (DEP), we investigated the effect of HDOM on the sorption behavior of DEP on soil. The relatively low concentration of HDOM (10 mg L-1, 25 mg L-1) decreases the sorption quantity of DEP on soil, while it increases by a relatively high concentration, 50 mg L-1. The transformation from multilayer to monolayer sorption of DEP on soil occurs as the concentration of HDOM increases. The tryptophan-like substance is the main component of HDOM sorbed to soil, reaching 49.82 %, and results in competition sorption with DEP. The soil pores are blocked by HDOM, which limits the pore filling and mass transfer of DEP, but partitioning is significantly enhanced. The surface functional groups in HDOM are similar to those in soil, and chemical sorption, mainly composed of hydrogen bonding, exists but is not significantly strengthened. We identified the specific impact of HDOM on the sorption of organic pollutants on soil and provide new insights into the understanding of the environmental behavior of hydrochar.

Abstract
Efficient and selective removal of Pb(II) from wastewater with complex matrix remains a challenging task. Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with predesigned functional building blocks provide a favorable platform for the selective separation of Pb(II). Herein, the bifunctional SPAFs with the introduction of -OH and -SO3H were synthesized through rationally optimizing their steric hindrance. As a result, the SPAF-0.75 exhibits favorable adsorption capacity of Pb(II) (212.34 mg g-1), which is 22 times larger than pristine framework. Competition experiment indicates that SPAF-0.75 possess the selective removal of Pb(II) without interfering from co-existing metal ions. The removal rate of SPAF-0.75 still retain at 100% after six successive cycles. The DFT calculation illustrates that -OH and -SO3H are co-participate in the process of capturing Pb(II), revealing SPAF-0.75 preferred removal of Pb(II) owing to the lowest adsorption energy (ΔEab = -3.99 eV). This study extend the understanding of the structure-property relationship and facilitate new possibilities for PAFs.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of magnetic biochar in wastewater treatment has shown significant effects and attracted scholars' attention. However, due to the relatively short research time and the lack of systematic summaries, it is difficult to provide a more in-depth analysis. This study utilizes RStudio and CiteSpace software to comprehensively analyze the research trends and progress of magnetic biochar in wastewater treatment. The analysis of bibliometrics is performed on 551 relevant papers retrieved from the Web of Science, spanning the period between 2011 and 2022. The most influential countries, institutions, journals, disciplinary distribution, and top 10 authors and papers in this field have been identified. The latest dataset has been used for keyword clustering and burst analysis. The results indicated that: (1) Bin Gao is the most influential author in this field, and high-level journals such as Bioresource Technology are more inclined to publish articles in the field of magnetic biochar. (2) Research in this field has predominantly focused on the removal of heavy metals and organic compounds. Keyword burst analysis shows a shift in research direction towards the removal of complex organic pollutants recently. (3) For the future development of magnetic biochar, an environment-friendly approach, economic viability, and joint technology are the directions that need more exploration. Finally, this paper provides a summary of the various adsorption mechanisms of magnetic biochar and several common modification methods, aiming to assist scholars in their research endeavors.
