Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135319. [PMID: 39236951 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135319] [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: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Developing phosphorus removal adsorbents with high adsorption performance and excellent structural stability remains a challenge. Herein, a chitosan (CS) - amidated lignin (AL) gel-bead adsorbent with high efficiency in immobilizing lanthanum hydroxide (La(OH)3) was fabricated via an in situ precipitation and freeze-drying strategy (abbreviated as La@ALCSx). The abundant hydroxyl and amino groups in CS promoted excellent loading of La(OH)3 on the surface and inside of the adsorbent. The introduction of lignin enhanced the structural stability of the beads along with the mass transfer efficiency. Owing to the porous structure and high La utilization, the adsorption capacity of La@ALCS2 reached 130.52 mg P g-1. Intra-sphere complexation of La(OH)3 with phosphate resulted in high adsorption selectivity of La@ALCS2. Moreover, the millimeter-sized of La@ALCS2 has favourable recoverability and maintains high adsorption performance after five adsorption-desorption cycles. Characterization analysis indicated that electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange were the main adsorption mechanisms. The excellent phosphorus removal efficiency, separation efficiency and recyclability of La@ALCSx provide a viable solution for the remediation of phosphate contaminated waters.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120149. [PMID: 38278114 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120149] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
The selection of different organic ligands when synthesizing metal organic framework (MOFs) can change their effects on the adsorption performance. Here, four La-MOFs adsorbents (La-SA, La-FA, La-TA and La-OA) with different organic ligands and structures were synthesized by solvothermal method for phosphate adsorption, and the relationship between their adsorption properties and structures was established. Among four La-MOFs, their phosphate adsorption capacities and adsorption rates followed La-SA > La-FA > La-TA > La-OA. The results indicated that average pore diameter played a key role in phosphate adsorption and there was a positive correlation between average pore diameter and adsorption capacity (R2 = 0.86). Coexisting ion experiments showed that phosphate adsorptions on three La-MOFs (La-SA, La-FA and La-TA) were inhibited in the presence of CO32- and HCO3-. The inhibition of CO32- was the most pronounced and the results of redundancy analysis pointed out that it was mainly due to the change of pH value. In contrast, La-OA showed enhanced phosphate adsorption in the presence of CO32- and HCO3-, and the combination of pH experiments showed that phosphate adsorption by La-OA was increased under alkaline conditions. Further combined with FT-IR, XRD, high resolution energy spectra of XPS (La 3d, P 2p and O 1s) and XANES, the adsorption mechanisms were derived electrostatic attraction, chemical precipitation and inner sphere complexation, and the last two were identified as the main mechanisms. Moreover, it can be identified from XPS 2p that the phosphate adsorption on La-FA and La-OA were mainly in the LaPO4 state, while La-SA and La-TA mainly existed in the form of LaPO4·xH2O crystals and inner sphere complexes. From the perspective of material morphology, this work provides a thought for the rational design of MOFs with adjustable properties for phosphate adsorption.

[PMID: 38042065 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120927] [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: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly recalcitrant organic contaminants that have attracted ever-increasing attention from the general public, government agencies and scientific communities. To remove PFAS from water, especially the enormous volume of drinking water, stormwater, and groundwater, sorption is the most practical approach. Success of this approach demands green, renewable, and sustainable materials for capturing PFAS at ng/L or µg/L levels. To meet this demand, this manuscript critically reviewed sorbents developed from biopolymers, such as chitosan (CTN), alginate (ALG), and cellulose (CEL) covering the period from 2008 to 2023. The use of different cross-linkers for the surface modifications of biopolymers were described. The underlying removal mechanism of biosorbents for PFAS adsorption from molecular perspectives was discussed. Besides reviewing and comparing the performance of different bio-based sorbents with respect to environmental factors like pH, and sorption kinetics and capacity, strategies for modifying biosorbents for better performance were proposed. Additionally, approaches for regeneration and reuse of the biosorbents were discussed. This was followed by further discussion of challenges facing the development of biosorbents for PFAS removal.

Abstract
Contamination of various water resources with phosphate pollutant owing to the excessive use of phosphate fertilizers was labeled by dangerous consequences. Most of the water remediation methods are not efficient for phosphate recovery and always generate secondary wastes. Therefore, the current study is aimed to prepare a novel ecofriendly and sustainable APT500@CMC nanocomposite via simple covalent binding of thermally treated attapulgite clay at 500 °C (APT500) with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) using microwave irradiation process. The assembled nanocomposite was confirmed by diverse techniques. The optimum conditions for efficient 10, 25 and 50 mg/L PO43- removal were detected at pH 3, time 30 min, temperature 25 °C and mass 200 mg. The kinetic and isotherms were fitted both to a combination of pseudo 1st - 2nd orders and Langmuir model, while thermodynamic parameters verified PO43- removal via spontaneous and exothermic reaction behavior. The mode of interaction and binding of PO43- ions onto the surface of APT500@CMC were suggested via ion-pair interaction process. Excellent PO43- recovery (98.8 %) from real agricultural drainage wastewater was established. The explored APT500@CMC afforded good stability for five regeneration cycles. Therefore, the collected results confirm the validity of APT500@CMC for excellent removal of PO43- from real agricultural drainage wastewater.

Abstract
A cleaner and safer environment is one of the most important requirements in the future. It has become increasingly urgent and important to fabricate novel environmentally-friendly materials to remove various hazardous pollutants. Compared with traditional materials, chitosan is a more environmentally friendly material due to its abundance, biocompatibility, biodegradability, film-forming ability and hydrophilicity. As an abundant of -NH2 and -OH groups on chitosan molecular chain could chelate with all kinds of metal ions efficiently, chitosan-based materials hold great potential as a versatile supporting matrix for metal oxide nanomaterials (MONMs) (TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, Fe3O4, etc.). Recently, many chitosan/metal oxide nanomaterials (CS/MONMs) have been reported as adsorbents, photocatalysts, heterogeneous Fenton-like agents, and sensors for potential and practical applications in environmental remediation and monitoring. This review analyzed and summarized the recent advances in CS/MONMs composites, which will provide plentiful and meaningful information on the preparation and application of CS/MONMs composites for wastewater treatment and help researchers to better understand the potential of CS/MONMs composites for environmental remediation and monitoring. In addition, the challenges of CS/MONM have been proposed.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers, biochars and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have manifested as top prospects for elimination of harmful pollutants. In the current study, Ti-MOF was synthesized and decorated with TiO2 nanoparticles, then embedded into watermelon peel biochar and functionalized with chitosan hydrogel to produce Ti-MOF@TiO2@WMPB@CTH. Various instruments were employed to assure the effective production of the bionanocomposite. The HR-TEM and SEM studies referred to excellent surface porosity and homogeneity of Ti-MOF@TiO2@WMPB@CTH bionanocomposite, with 51.02-74.23 nm. Based on the BET analysis, the mesoporous structure has a significant surface area of 366.04 m2 g-1 and a considerable total pore volume of 11.38 × 10-2 cm3 g-1, with a mean pore size of 12.434 nm. Removal of doxorubicin (DOX) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) was examined under various experimentations. Pseudo-second order kinetic models in addition to Langmuir isotherm offered the best fitting. Thermodynamic experiments of the two contaminants demonstrated spontaneous and endothermic interactions. After five subsequent adsorption and desorption cycles, Ti-MOF@TiO2@WMPB@CTH bionanocomposite demonstrated an exceptional recyclability for the elimination of DOX and Cr(VI) ions, reaching 97.96 % and 95.28 %, respectively. Finally, the newly designed Ti-MOF@TiO2@WMPB@CTH bionanocomposite demonstrated a high removing efficiency of Cr(VI) ions and DOX from samples of real water.

Abstract
Nitrate (NO3-) is a widespread pollutant in the water environment. Due to its physicochemical properties, such as negative monovalent charge, traditional adsorption treatment processes have low selectivity for NO3- removal, resulting in low removal efficiency of NO3- by adsorbents in the presence of interfering ions. Therefore, to improve the adsorption selectivity and efficiency of NO3-. In this study, we used organosilicon quaternary modified derived nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe-MLDH/OQAS) for selective removal of NO3-. NiFe-MLDH/OQAS has a flowery globular structure, with interconnected nanosheets on the surface providing more adsorption sites for NO3-, which improves the adsorption rate and adsorption amount. What's more, the nitrate removal rate of NiFe-MLDH/OQAS only decreased by about 14.36% in the presence of the same concentration of interfering ions, and the maximum adsorption amount reached 61.05 mg/g, showing good selectivity and adsorption amount. Various characterization analyses indicate that the nitrate selectivity of NiFe-MLDH/OQAS is attributed to its unique layer spacing, as well as the abundant functional groups on the material surface. Finally, we demonstrated through experiments that NiFe-MLDH/OQAS has good cyclic regeneration ability and environmental safety. These findings demonstrate the great potential of NiFe-MLDH/OQAS for selective adsorption of NO3-.

Abstract
Chitosan is a modified natural carbohydrate polymer that has been found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans (e.g., lobsters, shrimps, krill, barnacles, crayfish, etc.), mollusks (octopus, oysters, squids, snails), algae (diatoms, brown algae, green algae), insects (silkworms, beetles, scorpions), and the cell walls of fungi (such as Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Phycomycetes; for example, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium notatum). However, it is mostly acquired from marine crustaceans such as shrimp shells. Chitosan-based composites often present superior chemical, physical, and mechanical properties compared to single chitosan by incorporating the benefits of both counterparts in the nanocomposites. The tunable surface chemistry, abundant surface-active sites, facilitation synthesize and functionalization, good recyclability, and economic viability make the chitosan-based materials potential adsorbents for effective and fast removal of a broad range of inorganic anions. This article reviews the different types of inorganic anions and their effects on the environment and human health. The development of the chitosan-based composites synthesis, the various parameters like initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, the mechanism of adsorption, and regeneration of adsorbents are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects and technical challenges are emphasized to improve the performance of chitosan-based composites in actual applications on a pilot or industrial scale.

Abstract
Developing mitigation mechanisms for eutrophication caused by the uncontrolled release of nutrients is in the interest of the scientific community. Adsorption, being operationally simple and economical with no significant secondary pollution, has proven to be a feasible technology for resource recovery. However, the utility of adsorption often lies in the availability of effective adsorbents. In this regard, polymer-based nanocomposite (PNC) adsorbents have been highly acclaimed by researchers because of their high surface area, multiple functional groups, biodegradability, and ease of large-scale production. This review paper elaborates on the functionality, adsorption mechanisms, and factors that affect the adsorption and adsorption-desorption cycles of PNC adsorbents toward nutrient resources. Moreover, this review gives insight into the application of recovered nutrient resources in soil amendment.

Abstract
In this study, a novel composite bead (MPB-ALG) was prepared by encapsulating H2O2 modified peanut shell-derived biochar (MPB) into alginate matrix through a facile method. The structure and properties of prepared materials were characterized using FTIR, BET, SEM, and XPS. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to compare Cu(II) adsorption performance of MPB, plain alginate beads (ALG) and MPB-ALG. The effect parameters of the components, solution pH, contact time, initial concentration and coexisting ions were studied systematically. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the optimized MPB-ALG-1 (MPB/alginate = 1:1 w/w%) was 117.4 mg g-1 at pH 5, which was much higher than that of MPB (37.4 mg g-1). The adsorption kinetics and isotherms data of Cu(II) on MPB-ALG-1 were well described by Elovich kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Compared with plain ALG beads, MPB-ALG-1 exhibited better reusability and anti-interference of coexisting ions. Finally, the adsorption mechanisms of Cu(II) on MPB-ALG-1 beads were revealed by FTIR and XPS analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that MPB-ALG-1 beads can be used as an environmentally friendly and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) from wastewater.

Abstract
This study explores a biopolymer-based composite system for metal decontamination of water using copper {Cu (II)} as a model pollutant. Novel composite beads of chitosan and amidoxime grafted graphene oxide (AOGO) were successfully prepared and used for the Cu (II) removal from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, acrylonitrile was first polymerized onto a gamma-irradiated and silanized graphene oxide substrate. The nitrile groups of polyacrylonitrile grafted graphene oxide (GO-g-PAN) were then chemically modified into amidoxime groups to form AOGO nanohybrids. These nanohybrids were mixed with a blend of chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and crosslinked using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) to form composite CP/AOGO beads. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the structural changes at each step during the formation of composite beads. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis demonstrated that the beads had a well-developed spherical structure. The adsorption of Cu (II) onto CP/AOGO composite beads was studied under different conditions (initial concentration, pH, and contact time). The results revealed the potential of composite beads in copper removal from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Excessive phosphorus is one of the main reasons leading to eutrophication that causes severe ecosystem imbalance and negative human health impacts. In this study, several chitosan (CS)/lanthanum (La) hydrogel beads were first synthesized and tested for phosphorus removal. The stable cross-linked CS/La hydrogel bead prepared with the optimized conditions of 10 wt% La/CS and 1.5 mL of 5% glutaraldehyde demonstrated exceptional performance in the removal. It removed phosphate effectively from an aqueous solution in the pH range from 2 to 7. The complete phosphate uptake was achieved at contact time of 6 h under the completely mixing batch condition. The experimental maximum adsorption capacity of 107.7 mg g-1 was observed at solution pH 4. The phosphate adsorption was well described by the Freundlich isotherm and the intraparticle surface diffusion model. Furthermore, the adsorbent was effectively regenerated and reused in a five-cycle adsorption-desorption operation. The removal of phosphate can be attributed to electrostatic attraction and ion exchange. Moreover, the bead was capable of removing heavy metals: copper, zinc and lead. This adsorbent may be served as a cost-effective material for the treatment of phosphorus-contaminated water so as to minimize the occurrence of eutrophication.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives have been widely used as the adsorbents for different types of water pollutants. This review paper lists various physically and chemically modified chitosan-based adsorbents such as chitosan beads, cross-linked chitosan, chitosan-polymer composites, chitosan-inorganic material composites, and chitosan-metal complexes for the removal of nitrogen-containing pollutants (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and ammonium ions) from aqueous solutions. It covers preparation strategies, the effect of modification on adsorbent structure, and the impact of adsorption variables using batch and fixed-bed column studies. In addition to demonstrating the applications of chitosan and its derivatives in the removal of nitrogenous pollutants from water, it helps researchers understand the influence of modification of chitosan on its adsorption capacity as well as physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
The tremendous development in the industrial sector leads to discharging of the several types of effluents containing detrimental contaminants into water sources. Lately, the proliferation of toxic anions particularly phosphates and nitrates onto aquatic systems certainly depreciates the ecological system and causes a deadly serious problem. Chitosan (Cs) is one of the most auspicious biopolymer adsorbents that are being daily developed for removing of various contaminants from polluted water. This is due to its unparalleled benefits involving biocompatibility, non-toxicity, facile modifications and low-cost production. Nevertheless, chitosan displays considerable drawbacks including low adsorption capacity, low surface area and lack of reusability. Therefore, few findings have been established regarding the aptitude of modified chitosan-based adsorbents towards phosphate and nitrate anions. This review elaborates an overview for the current advances of modified chitosan based-adsorbent for phosphate and nitrate removal, in specific multivalent metals-modified chitosan, clays and zeolite-modified chitosan, magnetic chitosan and carbon materials-modified chitosan. The efforts that have been executed for enriching their adsorption characteristics as well as their possible adsorption mechanisms and reusability were well addressed. Besides, the research conclusions for the optimum adsorption conditions were also discussed, along with emphasizing the foremost research gaps and future potential trends that could motivate further research and innovation to find best solutions for water treatment problems facing the world.

Abstract
The porous, definite and nitrogen rich triaminotriazine (TAT) grafted graphene oxide (GO) known as TATGO composite was developed for nutrients (NO3- and PO43-) retention. Additionally, the structural property of TATGO composite was improved with the use of chitosan (CS) to produce easily separable TATGO@CS hybrid beads which possess the significant NO3- and PO43- adsorption capacities of 58.46 and 61.38 mg/g respectively than their individual materials. The instrumentations such as SEM, TGA, FTIR, EDAX, XRD and BET studies were executed for adsorbents. The optimization of the parameters accountable for adsorption process was performed in batch scale. The effect of isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R)), kinetics (pseudo-first/second order and particle/intraparticle diffusion) and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS°) of the adsorption was explored. The removal mechanism of TATGO@CS hybrid beads was to be electrostatic attraction on NO3- and PO43-. The field applicability and reuse of TATGO@CS hybrid beads was also inspected.

Abstract
The last two decades have seen a rise in the development of lanthanum (III)-containing materials (LM) for controlling phosphate in the aquatic environment. >70 papers have been published on this topic in the peer-reviewed literature, but mechanisms of phosphate removal by LM as well as potential environmental impacts of LM remain unclear. In this review, we summarize peer-reviewed scientific articles on the development and use of 80 different types of LM in terms of prospective benefits, potential ecological impacts, and research needs. We find that the main benefits of LM for phosphate removal are their ability to strongly bind phosphate under diverse environmental conditions (e.g., over a wide pH range, in the presence of diverse aqueous constituents). The maximum phosphate uptake capacity of LM correlates primarily with the La content of LM, whereas reaction kinetics are influenced by LM formulation and ambient environmental conditions (e.g., pH, presence of co-existing ions, ligands, organic matter). Increased La solubilization can occur under some environmental conditions, including at moderately acidic pH values (i.e., < 4.5-5.6), highly saline conditions, and in the presence of organic matter. At the same time, dissolved La will likely undergo hydrolysis, bind to organic matter, and combine with phosphate to precipitate rhabdophane (LaPO4·H2O), all of which reduce the bioavailability of La in aquatic environments. Overall, LM use presents a low risk of adverse effects in water with pH > 7 and moderate-to-high bicarbonate alkalinity, although caution should be applied when considering LM use in aquatic systems with acidic pH values and low bicarbonate alkalinity. Moving forward, we recommend additional research dedicated to understanding La release from LM under diverse environmental conditions as well as long-term exposures on ecological organisms, particularly primary producers and benthic organisms. Further, site-specific monitoring could be useful for evaluating potential impacts of LM on both biotic and abiotic systems post-application.

Abstract
In order to alleviate the environmental problems caused by excessive discharge of phosphate, an environmental friendly and highly efficient bio-sorbent (SA-La@PEI) for phosphate was fabricated by combing strategies of sorption affinity component mediated and poly(ethylenimine) surface engineering of alginate beads. Various characterization methods like SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS were adopted to examine the morphology and functional group composition of SA-La@PEI. Through detailed tests, SA-La@PEI exhibited excellent adsorption performance of 121.2 mg/g, which was better than most published materials. More importantly, the outstanding phosphate selectivity of SA-La@PEI was exposed when NO3-, HCO3-, SO42- and Cl- were added to the phosphate solution. Considering the integrated components in composites, both chemical precipitation and electrostatic attraction can be considered as the dominant mechanisms of phosphate adsorption. Totally, as-prepared SA-La@PEI beads might be a promising sorbent for the decontamination of excessive phosphate because of its low-cost, excellent adsorption performance and mechanical strength.

Abstract
A novel, cost-effective and biomass-derived adsorbent was fabricated by coating polydopamine on lanthanum-chitosan hydrogel (La-CS@PDA), which were endowed with a plentiful of amine groups. The diffusion structure of channel-network of La-CS@PDA made it well used in phosphate removal in wastewater treatment. The Langmuir isotherm delivered the maximal adsorption capacity about 195.3 mg/g, which was superior to most reported phosphate removal materials. More significantly, in the presence of competitive anions Cl-, SO42-, HCO3-, NO3-, F- and HCrO4-, the resultant La-CS@PDA still conducted distinct selectivity for phosphate, which could be attributed to the selective binding sites of La species in the composite. Under continuous adsorption, the dynamic experimental data fitted well with Thomas model which imitates industrial practical application. By virtue of more fortes of high efficiency, ease of separation and expectable mechanical strength, as-prepared La-CS@PDA might be a promising candidate of dephosphorizing sorbent.

Abstract
The powder form of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) causes the significant pressure drop which limit its application under field conditions. To trounce such technological troubles and to enhance the defluoridation capacity (DC) of TCP, chitosan (CS) encapsulated TCP polymeric composite was prepared by dispersing TCP particles into chitosan polymeric matrix to produce tricalcium phosphate/chitosan (TCPCS) composite which could be made into any desirable form. The synthesized TCPCS composite possesses an enhanced DC of 1034 mgF-/kg than the individual components viz., TCP and chitosan which has got DC of 490 and 52 mgF-/kg respectively. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, SEM and EDAX analysis. The various physico-chemical properties such as contact time, solution pH, co-anions and temperature were optimized to get maximum defluoridation. The equilibrium and kinetic experiments were conducted for TCPCS composite toward fluoride removal. The practical applicability of TCPCS composite was examined at field conditions.
