[PMID: 38942407 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133481] [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: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
Thiosulfate has been considered as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to cyanide salts for the extraction of gold from gold ores and the development of affordable, green and efficient adsorbents for the isolation of gold-thiosulfate complex (Au(S2O3)23-) from the leaching solution remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, chitosan, a natural macromolecule, was selected as a carrier and chemically modified with ionic liquids. The ionic liquids modified chitosan showed greater adsorption capacity towards Au(S2O3)23- compared with pristine chitosan. The adsorption of Au(S2O3)23- on ionic liquid modified chitosan followed Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic models, involving an anion-exchange mechanism with liquid film diffusion as the rate-limiting step. The chitosan modified with butylimidazolium-based ionic liquid modified had an adsorption capacity of 5.0 mg g-1 for Au(S2O3)23- (10 mg L-1, pH 6, 2 g L-1 of adsorbent dosage), outperforming other reported adsorbents. The ionic liquid modified chitosan showed a high adsorption efficiency of up to 96.7 % for Au(S2O3)23- in an actual thiosulfate leaching solution with a desorption efficiency of 98.4 %, suggesting that the ionic liquid modified chitosan has the potential to be a eco-friendly, biocompatible and effective adsorbent for the recovery of Au(S2O3)23-.

Synthesis, characterization, and application of N-CNT/1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide as a green nanocatalyst for the sulfur removal from light oils. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24073. [PMID: 38283243 PMCID: PMC10818197 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Adsorptive desulfurization of light fuels is sustainable due to its ambient operation and reusability of exhausted adsorbents. In this study, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide [HEMIM][DCA] IL was synthesized and utilized to modify N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] as a green hybrid adsorbent. The adsorbent was characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, FTIR, BET, and TGA. It was indicated that the N-CNT treatment with [HEMIM][DCA] IL resulted in decreased crystallinity with the cubic and rod-shaped morphology and harsh surfaces and curved edges. The absence of shifts or variations in FTIR peaks of starting materials and N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] suggested that neither component was affected by chemical interactions. The adsorption capacity of N-CNT and N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] was 54.3 mg/g and for 83.6 mg/g for 50 ppm BT, respectively. Saturated with BT, the adsorbent's performance was decreased at high BT concentrations. The adsorption isotherms provided an understanding of interactions of BT with sorbent surface which follows the Langmuir model for N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] and N-CNT. The kinetics of BT adsorption on N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] was fitted with second-order kinetic model with the decreased adsorption ratio over time due to pore saturation. 25 % reduction of the adsorption capacity was obtained after two recycling cycles of the adsorbent (62.5 mg/g). N-CNT/[HEMIM][DCA] showed good recyclability and potential as a promising BT adsorbent.

Liu Z, Zhang J, Mou R. Phosphogypsum-Modified Vinasse Shell Biochar as a Novel Low-Cost Material for High-Efficiency Fluoride Removal. Molecules 2023; 28:7617. [PMID: 38005339 PMCID: PMC10675684 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28227617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, vinasse shell biochar (VS) was easily modified with phosphogypsum to produce a low-cost and novel adsorbent (MVS) with excellent fluoride adsorption performance. The physicochemical features of the fabricated materials were studied in detail using SEM, EDS, BET, XRD, FTIR, and XPS techniques. The adsorption experiments demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of fluoride by MVS was greatly enhanced compared with VS, and the adsorption capacity increased with the pyrolysis temperature, dosage, and contact time. In comparison to chloride and nitrate ions, sulfate ions significantly affected adsorption capacity. The fluoride adsorption capacity increased first and then decreased with increasing pH in the range of 3-12. The fluoride adsorption could be perfectly fitted to the pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption isotherms matched Freundlich and Sips isotherm models well, giving 290.9 mg/g as the maximum adsorption capacity. Additionally, a thermodynamic analysis was indicative of spontaneous and endothermic processes. Based on characterization and experiment results, the plausible mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto MVS was proposed, mainly including electrostatic interactions, ion exchange, precipitation, and hydrogen bonds. This study showed that MVS could be used for the highly efficient removal of fluoride and was compatible with practical applications.

Abstract
With the continuous development of society, industrialization, and human activities have been producing more and more pollutants. Fluoride discharge is one of the main causes of water pollution. This review summarizes various commonly used and effective fluoride removal technologies, including ion exchange technology, electrochemical technology, coagulation technology, membrane treatment, and adsorption technology, and points out the outstanding advantages of adsorption technology. Various commonly used fluoride removal techniques as well as typical adsorbent materials have been discussed in published papers, however, the relationship between different adsorbent materials and adsorption models has rarely been explored, therefore, this paper categorizes and summarizes the various models involved in static adsorption, dynamic adsorption, and electrosorption fluoride removal processes, such as pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, Thomas and Clark dynamic adsorption models, including the mathematical equations of the corresponding models and the significance of the models are also comprehensively summarized. Furthermore, this comprehensive discussion delves into the fundamental adsorption mechanisms, quantification of maximum adsorption capacity, evaluation of resistance to anion interference, and assessment of adsorption regeneration performance exhibited by diverse adsorption materials. The selection of the best adsorption model not only predicts the adsorption performance of the adsorbent but also provides a better description and understanding of the details of each part of the adsorption process, which facilitates the adjustment of experimental conditions to optimize the adsorption process. This review may provide some guidance for the development of more cost-effective adsorbent materials and adsorption processes in the future.

Abstract
A novel and easily separable adsorbent in the shape of a membrane for the rapid removal of fluoride from water was prepared after testing Zr, La and LaZr to modify a chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol composite adsorbent (CS/PVA-Zr, CS/PVA-La, CS/PVA-LA-Zr). The CS/PVA-La-Zr composite adsorbent can remove a large amount of fluoride within 1 min of contact time, and the adsorption equilibrium can be reached within 15 min. The fluoride adsorption behavior of the CS/PVA-La-Zr composite can be described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms models. The morphology and structure of the adsorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adsorption mechanism was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and which showed that ion exchange occurred mainly with hydroxide and fluoride ions. This study showed that an easily operable, low-cost and environmentally friendly CS/PVA-La-Zr has the potential to remove fluoride effectively from drinking water in a short time.

Characterization of ionic liquids removing heavy metals from electroplating sludge: Influencing factors, optimisation strategies and reaction mechanisms. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 324:138309. [PMID: 36889480 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138309] [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: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The disposal of electroplating sludge (ES) is a common concern of researchers. Currently, it is difficult to achieve effective fixation of heavy metals (HMs) using traditional ES treatment. As green and effective HMs removal agents, ionic liquids can be used for the disposal of ES. In this study, 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazole hydrogen sulphate ([Bmim]HSO4) and 1-propyl sulphonic acid-3-methyl imidazole hydrogen sulphate ([PrSO3Hmim]HSO4) were used as washing solvents for the removal of Cr, Ni, and Cu from ES. In reaction with increased agent concentration, solid-liquid ratio, and duration, the amount of HMs eliminated from ES rises, whereas opposite patterns were shown in response to rising pH. The quadratic orthogonal regression optimisation analysis also revealed that the ideal washing specifications for [Bmim]HSO4 were 60 g L-1, 1:40, and 60 min, respectively, for agent concentration, solid-liquid ratio, and washing time, while those for [PrSO3Hmim]HSO4 were 60 g L-1, 1:35, and 60 min, respectively. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the Cr, Ni, and Cu removal efficiencies for [Bmim]HSO4 were 84.3, 78.6, and 89.7%, respectively, and those values for [PrSO3Hmim]HSO4 were 99.8, 90.1, and 91.3%, respectively. This was mainly attributed to that ionic liquids enhance metal desorption through acid solubilisation, chelation, and electrostatic attraction. Overall, ionic liquids are reliable washing reagents for ES contaminated by HMs.

Abstract
Nano hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) has aroused widespread attention as a green and environmentally friendly adsorbent due to its outstanding ability in removing heavy metal ions, radio nuclides, organic pollutants and fluoride ions for wastewater treatment. The hexagonal crystal structure of HAp supports the adsorption mechanisms including ionic exchange reaction, surface complexation, the co-precipitation of new partially soluble phases and physical adsorption such as electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. However, nano HAp has some drawbacks such as agglomeration and a significant pressure drop during filtration when used in powder form. Therefore, instead of using nano HAp alone, researchers have worked on modificationsand composites of nano HAp to overcome these issues and enhance the adsorption capacity. The modification of cationic doping and organic molecule grafting for nano HAp can promote the immobilization of ions and then increase adsorption capacity. Developing nano HAp composite with biopolymers such as gelatin, chitosan and chitin has proven to obtain a synergetic effect for improving the adsorption capacity of composites, in which nano HAp fixed and dispersed in polymers can playmuch more of a role for adsorption. This review summarizes the adsorption properties and adsorbent applications of nano HAp as well as the methods to enhance the adsorption capacity of nano HAp.
