Abstract
Antibiotics are refractory degradable organic pollutants that present a significant hazard to water environments. In this work, a ternary composite (KB/BMO-GO) comprising of graphene oxide (GO), Bi2MoO6 (BMO), and a cross-linked benzene polymer (KB) was synthesized and applied to promote the synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic degradation of the refractory pollutant, oxytetracycline (OTC). The inclusion of GO and KB in the composite enhanced the OTC adsorption performance of the catalysts, and the construction of Z-scheme heterojunction promoted the photogenerated charge separation efficiency and broadened the range of light absorption, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic performance. Moreover, we compared the performance of catalysts loaded with different mass ratios of KB (x% KB/BMO-GO). Among them, the 15 % KB/BMO-GO catalyst sample had the best OTC degradation performance. Specifically, 15 % KB/BMO-GO could adsorb 69.7 % of OTC in 30 min, reaching an OTC degradation rate of 93.3 % under visible light irradiation. h+ and 1O2 are the main active substances in the photocatalytic process. In addition, the catalysts are acid-alkali and salt-resistant, as well as good reusability. This study provides a valuable reference for the preparation of highly efficient photocatalysts for synergistic adsorption-photodegradation processes.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133498. [PMID: 38944086 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of Alginate-coated nano‑iron oxide combined with copper-based MOFs (Cu-BTC@Alg/Fe3O4) composites for the sustainable and efficient removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from wastewater through adsorption and photocatalysis. Utilizing various characterization techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TEM, we confirmed the optimal synthesis of this composite. The composites exhibit a significant surface area of approximately 160 m2 g-1, as revealed by BET analysis, resulting in an impressive adsorption capacity of 200 mg g-1 and a removal efficiency of 97 %. Moreover, their photocatalytic activity is highly effective, producing environmentally friendly degradation byproducts, thus underlining the sustainability of Cu-BTC@Alg/Fe3O4 composites in dye removal applications. Our investigation delves into kinetics and thermodynamics, revealing a complex adsorption mechanism influenced by both chemisorption and physisorption. Notably, the adsorption kinetics indicate equilibrium attainment within 100 min across all initial concentrations, with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitting the data best (R2 ≈ 0.999). Furthermore, adsorption isotherm models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich, elucidate the adsorption behavior, with the Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models showing superior accuracy compared to the Langmuir model (R2 ≈ 0.98 and R2 ≈ 0.96, respectively). Additionally, thermodynamic analysis reveals a negative Gibbs free energy value (-6.40 kJ mol-1), indicating the spontaneity of the adsorption process, along with positive enthalpy (+24.3 kJ mol-1) and entropy (+82.06 kJ mol-1 K) values, suggesting an endothermic and disorderly process at the interface. Our comprehensive investigation provides insights into the optimal conditions for RhB adsorption onto Cu-BTC@Alg/Fe3O4 composites, highlighting their potential in wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Herein, core double-shell direct dual Z-scheme ZnO-Ce2S3-MnO2 nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal route along with pure ZnO, Ce2S3, MnO2, and characterized by numerous characterization tools for application in synthetic dyes degradation. The XRD, Raman, and FTIR analyses have confirmed the nanocomposite formation. TEM images exhibited the core double-shell morphology with an average particle diameter of 81 nm and stacking of ZnO, Ce2S3, and MnO2. EDX confirmed the existence of desired elements in the grown composition. The varied oxidation states, presence of defects, and fast charge transfer were also revealed from XPS, PL, and EIS. The ZnO-Ce2S3-MnO2 nanocomposite has an optical energy bandgap of 2.84 eV, capable of decomposing harmful dyes with excellent efficiency, 99.81% MB, 97.62% MO, 88.5% MR, and 58.9% EY in 40 min sunlight exposure. The effect of several operating parameters is also observed and obtained results showed the optimal catalyst dose was 20 mg, pH of 8, and dye concentration of 10 ppm. The scavenger's experiment suggests that •O2- and •OH are the main active radicals in the photodegradation reaction which is also evident in the dual Z-scheme formation. The MnO2 and ZnO layers covered the Ce2S3 (core) and dual Z-scheme formation allows rapid kinetics of redox reaction and provides plenteous channels for transfer of photo-generated charge carriers during photocatalysis. Thus, core double-shell direct dual Z-scheme photocatalysts having inorganic components could be an excellent choice for photocatalysis at the industrial level, particularly for water purification.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contaminated water, especially groundwater reservoirs, is a major issue worldwide owing to its hazardous consequences on human health and the global environment issues. Also, irrigating agricultural fields with As-contaminated water not only produces an accumulation of As in the soil but also compromises food safety due to As entering into agricultural products. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient method for As removal in water. Fe-based MOFs have attained special attention due to their low toxicity, high water stability, better physical and chemical properties, and high abundance of iron. The arsenic species removal by Fe-MOF follows the adsorption and oxidation mechanism where As (III) converts into As (V). Moreover, the adsorption mechanism is facilitated by electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, acid-base interaction, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, π-π stacking interactions, and coordinative bindings responsible for Fe-O-As bond generation. This review thoroughly recapitulates and analyses recent advancements in the facile synthesis and potential application of Fe-based MOF adsorbents for the elimination of As ions. The most commonly employed hydro/solvothermal, ultrasonic, microwave-assisted, mechanochemical, and electrochemical synthesis for Fe-MOF has been discussed along with their adsorptive and oxidative mechanisms involved in arsenic removal. The effects of factors like pH and coexisting ions have also been discussed. Lastly, the article also proposed the prospects for developing the application of Fe-based MOF in treating As-contaminated water.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is widely employed to generate oxygen-containing reactive species for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. Herein, cobalt oxyhydroxide @activated carbon (CoOOH@AC) was synthesized via a wet chemical sedimentation method to activate PMS for degradation of CIP. The result suggested AC can support the vertical growth of CoOOH nanosheets to expose high-activity Co-contained edges, possessing efficient PMS activation and degradation activity and catalytic stability. In the presence of 3.0 mg of optimal CoOOH@AC and 2 mM PMS, 96.8 % of CIP was degraded within 10 min, approximately 11.6 and 9.97 times greater than those of CoOOH/PMS and AC/PMS systems. Notably, it was disclosed that the optimal CoOOH@AC/PMS system still exhibited efficient catalytic performance in a wide pH range, different organics and common co-existing ions. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance indicated that both radical and non-radical processes contributed to the degradation of CIP, with 1O2 and direct electron transfer accounting for the non-radical pathway and SO4•- and •OH serving as the main radical active species. Finally, possible CIP degradation pathways were proposed based on high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This study provided an alternate method for wastewater treatment based on PMS catalyzed by cobalt-based hydroxide.

Abstract
Complex wastewater has more complicated toxicity and potential harm to organisms, and synchronous REDOX of complex pollutants in wastewater has always been a bottleneck in the development of advanced oxidation technology. Herein, a Fenton-like photocatalytic system (MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction composites) was established to simultaneously remove oxytetracycline (OTC) and Cr(Ⅵ) in this study. The MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction composites exhibited outstanding catalytic performances for OTC and Cr(Ⅵ) removal, and more than 90% of OTC and nearly 100% of Cr(Ⅵ) were simultaneously removed within 1 min photocatalysis. The photo-generared electrons and holes played significant roles in Cr(Ⅵ) reduction and OTC degradation, respectively. Moreover, the heterojunction formed between g-C3N4 and MnFe2O4 effectively accelerated the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers. The OTC degradation was mainly initiated by cracking of benzene rings, degradation of substituents, and removal of groups such as -OH, -NH2, -CH3, and -CONH2, resulting in generation of small molecular substances; Cr(Ⅲ) was the main reduction product of Cr(Ⅵ). Meanwhile, the MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction composites also exhibited excellent stability and reusability in removal of OTC and Cr(Ⅵ).

Abstract
To effectively remove pharmaceuticals, nitroaromatic compounds, and dyes from wastewater, an efficient multifunctional material was created based on silver nanoparticles (Ag) and MIL-125-NH2 (MOF) immobilized on viscose fibers (VF) as a support substrate. Firstly, silver nanoparticles (Ag) were immobilized on the surface of viscose fibers (VF) via in situ synthesis using trisodium citrate (TSC) as a reducing agent to create (VF-Ag). Then, VF and VF-Ag were decorated with the titanium metal-organic framework MIL-125-NH2 (MOF) to create VF-MOF and VF-Ag-MOF. The influence of VF-Ag, VF-MOF, and VF-Ag-MOF on the sonocatalytic or sonophotocatalytic degradation of sulfa drugs was investigated. The results show that VF-Ag-MOF showed excellent sonocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic activity towards the degradation of sulfa drugs compared to VF-Ag and VF-MOF. Furthermore, sonophotodegradation showed a dramatic enhancement in the efficiency of degradation of sulfa drugs compared to sonodegradation. The sonophotodegradation degradation percentage of sulfanilamide, sulfadiazine, and sulfamethazine drugs in the presence of VF-Ag-MOF was 65, 90, and 95 after 45 min of ultrasonic and visible light irradiation. The catalytic activity of VF-Ag, VF-MOF, and VF-Ag-MOF was evaluated through the conversion of p-nitrophenol (4-NP) to p-aminophenol (4-AP). The results demonstrate that VF-Ag-MOF had the highest catalytic activity, followed by VF-Ag and VF-MOF. The conversion percentage of 4-NP to 4-AP was 69%. The catalytic or photocatalytic effects of VF-Ag, VF-MOF, and VF-Ag-MOF on the elimination of methylene blue (MB) dye were investigated. The results demonstrate that VF-Ag-MOF showed high efficiency in removing the MB dye through the reduction (65%) or photodegradation (71%) after 60 min. VF-Ag-MOF composites structure-activity relationships represent that doping within silver NPs enhanced the photocatalytic activity of MIL-125-NH2, which could be explained as follows: (i) Due to the formation of a Schottky barrier at the junction between MIL-125-NH2 and Ag NPs, the photogenerated electrons in the conduction band of MIL-125-NH2 were supposed to be quickly transferred to the valence band of the Ag NPs, and subsequently, the electrons were transferred to the conduction band of Ag NPs. This considerable electron transferring process, which is reported as Z scheme heterojunction, can efficiently suppress the recombination of electron/hole pairs in VF-Ag-MIL-125-NH2 composites. (ii) Sufficient separation between the photogenerated charge carriers (holes and electrons) and avoiding their recombination enhanced the photocatalytic activity of composites.

Abstract
A nickel oxide/cobalt/carbon nitride (Ni/Co/CN) nanocomposite synthesized via co-precipitation was used for the degradation of methylparaben (MEP). Various analytical techniques were used to ascertain the structural, optical, and electrochemical characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite. The unique nature of the compound without any free particles over the CN was established. Photocatalytic degradation studies demonstrated the superiority of 3-Ni/Co/CN over bare NiO, Co/CN, 1-Ni/Co/CN, and 5-Ni/Co/CN. Near complete MEP degradation (100%) was achieved after 120 min of incubation with MEP 75 mg L-1 in acidic medium pH (3) for an initial concentration of 3-Ni/Co/CN (10 mg/100 mL). HPLC-MS/MS analysis was used to elucidate the degradation pathway, and the catalyst was found stable for four subsequent cycles. Hence, our nanocatalyst effectively degraded MEP. Furthermore, microbial, aquatic, and animal studies demonstrated the environmental efficiency of the synthesized nanomaterials.

Nguyen NTT, Nguyen TTT, Nguyen DTC, Tran TV. Functionalization strategies of metal-organic frameworks for biomedical applications and treatment of emerging pollutants: A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167295.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
In this study, a method for degrading PET-waste plastic bottles using ZnCl2:Urea as a catalyst was developed, resulting in high conversion (87%). The terephthalic acid obtained from the degradation of Waste PET Bottles (WPTs) was combined with copper and zinc salts to synthesize bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOF). The effectiveness of a bimetallic Cu-Zn(BDC)-MOF in catalyzing the reduction reaction of organic pollutant dyes (OPDs) was investigated, and the degradation efficiency of individual dyes was optimized, achieving over 95% degradation within 6-12 min under optimal conditions. Various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, and TEM were used to characterize the synthesized MOF. Results showed that the catalytic activity of Cu-Zn-MOF in reduction reaction of OPDs was enhanced by increasing the copper content. The reaction kinetics were investigated following pseudo-first-order kinetics with rate constants of 0.581, 0.43, 0.37, and 0.30 min-1 for Methylene Blue (MB), Methyl Orange (MO), 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), and 4-Nitroaniline (4-NA), respectively. The investigations revealed that the produced catalyst exhibited excellent stability and recoverability, while its activity remained well-preserved even after undergoing three reuse cycles.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exciting new class of porous materials with great potential for photocatalytic applications in the environmental and energy sectors. MOFs provide significant advantages over more traditional materials when used as photocatalysts due to their high surface area, adaptable topologies, and functional ability. In this article, we summarize current developments in the use of MOFs as photocatalysts for a variety of applications, such as CO2 reduction, water splitting, pollutant degradation, and hydrogen production. We discuss the fundamental properties of MOFs that make them ideal for photocatalytic applications, as well as strategies for improving their performance. The opportunities and challenges presented by this rapidly expanding field are also highlighted.

Abstract
As the world population continues to grow, there is also a rising concern regarding water pollution since this condition could negatively impact the supply of clean water. One of the most recent concerns is related to the pollution that comes from various pharmaceuticals, in particular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) since they have been industrially produced at large scale and can be easily purchased as an over-the-counter medicine. Diclofenac is one of the most popular NSAIDs because of its high-effectiveness, which leads to its excessive consumption. Consequently, its presence in water bodies is also continuously increasing. An adsorption process could then be employed as a highly effective method to address this issue. In comparison to other conventional adsorbents such as activated carbon, the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an alternative adsorbent is very attractive since it can offer various advantages such as tailorability and high adsorption capacity. In this study, the performance of three water-stable, free-base porphyrin MOFs assembled using zirconia-based nodes, namely MOF-525, MOF-545, and NU-902, for diclofenac adsorption was thoroughly investigated. Interestingly, although all three free-base porphyrin MOFs are assembled using the same building block and have a similar specific surface area (based on the experimental argon physisorption and calculation based on non-localized density functional theory), their diclofenac adsorption capacity is substantially different from one another. It is found that the highest diclofenac adsorption capacity is shown by MOF-525, which has maximum capacity around 792 mg g-1. This is then followed by MOF-545 and NU-902 that have adsorption capacities around 591 and 486 mg g-1, respectively. Some possible adsorption mechanisms are then thoroughly discussed that might contribute to this phenomenon. Lastly, their performance is also compared with other MOFs that are also studied for this purpose to show their performance superiority not only in terms of adsorption capacity but also their affinity towards the diclofenac molecule, which might be useful as an adsorption performance indicator in the real condition where the contaminant concentration is considerably low.
