Abstract
The present study reports on the valorisation of starch waste biomass to produce dual-active cryogels and hydrogels able to adsorb water and deliver antimicrobial substances for fresh food packaging applications. Starch hydrogels were prepared by oxidation with sodium metaperiodate in water and mild conditions, while cryogels were obtained by freeze-drying process. To explore the role of starch composition on the final properties of materials, two starches differing in amylose/amylopectin ratio, were evaluated. The prepared materials were microstructurally and morphologically characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy (1D, 2D, and DOSY experiments), and SEM microscopy. To provide the materials with active properties, they were loaded with antimicrobial molecules by absorption, or by crosslinking via Schiff-base reaction. All materials demonstrated high water absorption capacity and ability to deliver volatile molecules, including diacetyl and complex mixtures like mint essential oil. The release profiles of the adsorbed molecules were determined through quantitative NMR spectroscopy over time. The antibacterial activity was successfully demonstrated against Gram-positive bacterial strains for unloaded cryogels and hydrogels, and after loading with diacetyl and essential oil. The developed materials can be regarded as part of active pads for food packaging applications capable to control moisture inside the package and inhibit microbial contamination.

Abstract
Due to eutrophication, removing phosphate ions from wastewater has received a lot of attention. In order to improve the phosphorus adsorption capacity of the material, this study used biomass pyrolysis to create a series of biochars modified with metal chloride ions. In accordance with adsorption tests, lanthanum-loaded biochar (LCBC) had a significant phosphorus adsorption capacity of approximately 666.67 mg/g, which was 30 times greater than that of pristine biochar. Adsorption kinetic analysis revealed that the LCBC's adsorption process could be fitted to the pseudo-secondary kinetic equation, indicating that chemical processes were primarily responsible for controlling the adsorption process. Zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the main adsorption mechanism of LCBC for phosphate removal was electrostatic attraction of protonated H+ with negatively charged mono-hydrogen phosphate and dihydrogen phosphate ions and complexation reaction of the C=O on the carboxyl group and P=O on the phosphate group with the oxygen on the phosphate group and hydroxyl group. According to regeneration performance results, LCBC performed relatively better than as-prepared adsorbents, and the phosphate removal rate was approximately 75.1% after the fifth regeneration cycle. The study provided a potential approach for creating and preparing an adsorbent with high adsorption for phosphate removal.

Abstract
A novel magnetic starch-crosslinked-magnetic ethylenediamine nanocomposite, NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED, was synthesized via microwave irradiation. The characteristics of the assembled NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED nanocomposite were evaluated via XRD, FT-IR, TGA, BET, SEM and HR-TEM analyses. Its particle size was confirmed to be in the range 11.25-17.16 nm. The effectiveness of the designed nanocomposite for the removal of Cr(vi) ions was explored using the batch adsorption technique. Equilibrium results proved that the adsorptive removal of the target metal ions from aqueous solution was highly dependent on the optimized experimental parameters. The maximum adsorptive removal percentage values (%R) of Cr(vi) ions on NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED obtained at pH 2.0 were 85.27%, 91.90%, and 96.47% using 10.0, 25.0, and 50.0 mg L-1 Cr(vi), respectively, for an equilibrium time of 30 min. The adsorption process was found to be strongly influenced by the presence of interfering salts including NaCl, CaCl2, KCl, MgCl2, and NH4Cl. Kinetic studies were performed and it was found that the pseudo-second and Elovich models well fitted the experimental data with the possible suggested ion-pair interaction mechanism. Different isotherm models were employed to assess the adsorption equilibrium, which was revealed by fitting Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich models. The maximum uptake capacity based on the Langmuir model was 210.741 mg g-1. The effect of temperature and thermodynamics confirmed that adsorption was spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic in nature. Finally, the validity and applicability of using the NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED nanocomposite to remove Cr(vi) ions from real water matrices were confirmed in the range of 91.2-94.7 ± 2.2-3.7%.

Abstract
Magnetic materials have brought innovations in the field of advanced materials. Their incorporation in aerogels has certainly broadened their application area. Magnetic aerogels can be used for various purposes from adsorbents to developing electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorbing materials, high-level diagnostic tools, therapeutic systems, and so on. Considering the final use and cost, these can be fabricated from a variety of materials using different approaches. To date, several studies have been published reporting the fabrication and uses of magnetic aerogels. However, to our knowledge, there is no review that specifically focuses only on magnetic aerogels, so we attempted to overview the main developments in this field and ended our study with the conclusion that magnetic aerogels are one of the emerging and futuristic advanced materials with the potential to offer multiple applications of high value.

Abstract
Immobilised magnetic nanoparticles are extensively used owing to their superparamagnetic nature, surface interaction, and binding specificity with the appropriate portentous substances. The present research focuses on the development of a portentous, robust carrier, which integrates the silica-coated amino-functionalised magnetic nanoparticle (AF-MnP) with the plant extracts of Cynodon dactylon (L1) and Muraya koenigii (L2) for the stable and enhanced removal of hazardous hexavalent chromium pollutant in the wastewater. Vibrating sample magnetometer (Ms - 45 emu/g) determines the superparamagnetic properties; Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy determines the presence of functional groups such as NH2, Si-O-Si, C=C; high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy determine the size of the green adsorbents in the range of 20 nm and the presence of elements such as Fe, N, and Si determines the efficacy of the synthesised silica-coated AF-MnP. The AF-MnP-L1 shows the maximum adsorption capacity of 34.7 mg/g of sorbent calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model and the process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. After treatment, the adsorbents can be easily separated from the solution in the presence of an external magnetic field and are reused for nine cycles after acid treatment with the minimal loss of adsorption efficiency.
