[PMID: 39025370 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131124] [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: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
In this study, magnetic biochar was synthesized by doping Fe3O4 onto the biochar surface followed by analysis of its properties. The efficiency of methylene blue (MB) removal through the combined processes of adsorption and photolysis was assessed. The presence of Fe3O4 on the biochar surface was confirmed using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The magnetic biochar, after MB adsorption, showed a magnetism of 39.50 emu/g leading to a 97.07 % recovery rate. The specific surface area of biochar was higher (380.68 m2/g) than that of magnetic biochar (234.46 m2/g), and the maximum adsorption capacity of MB was higher in the biochar (0.03 mg/g) than that in magnetic biochar (0.02 mg/g) under the optimal conditions for MB adsorption. The MB adsorption experiments using biochar or magnetic biochar were optimally conducted under 10-20 mg/L MB concentration, 1 g biochar dosage, pH 12, 200 rpm rotation speed, 25 °C temperature, and 30 min duration. Under dark conditions, biochar had a higher MB removal rate, at 83.91 %, compared to magnetic biochar, at 78.30 %. Under visible light (λ > 425 nm), magnetic biochar effectively removed MB within 10 min, highlighting the synergistic effect of adsorption and photolysis. MB is physically and chemically adsorbed by the monolayer on the surface of EB and EMB according to adsorption behavior.

Abstract
In this study, lanthanum (La)-based magnetic biopolymers were synthesized, and the first adsorption study was conducted on the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous water with these biopolymers. For the adsorption study, adsorption parameters were investigated and the ideal adsorption conditions determined for the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous solutions are pH 11, t 60 min, m 10 mg, C0 25 mg/L, T 298 K. It was determined that the adsorption process was compatible with the single-layer Langmuir isotherm, and maximum adsorption capacity obtained according to the Langmuir isotherm was calculated as 256.41 mg/g. The adsorption process was found to be in accordance with the pseudo-second-order, and the adsorption process was explained by intra-particle diffusion. According to studies of adsorption thermodynamics, it has been established that the nature of the adsorption reaction is spontaneous, and this process is endothermic and has increasing randomness. Moreover, the reusability of magnetic lanthanum/alginate (La/Alg) biopolymers was investigated, and it was determined that the biopolymers could be used successfully. In summary, brilliant green dye has been successfully removed with simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easily obtained magnetic La/Alg biopolymers. It can be stated that even low amounts of these biopolymers can be effective in the treatment of highly concentrated dye wastewaters.

A hybrid electrocoagulation-biocomposite adsorption system for the decolourization of dye wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118759. [PMID: 38537741 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118759] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Among the various methods for the removal of azo dye, electrocoagulation is recognized to be highly efficient. However, the process is associated with high operation and maintenance cost, which demands the need for reducing the electrolysis time without compromising the performance efficiency. This can be achieved by adopting hybrid electrocoagulation process with a low-cost but effective process, such as adsorption. The study investigated the performance of a hybrid electrocoagulation-biocomposite system (H-EC-BC) for removing methyl orange dye. Firstly, the operating parameters of electrocoagulation process were optimized and a removal efficiency of 99% has been attained using Fe-SS electrodes at a pH of 6 for a reaction time of 30 min. The performance of EC process was found to be decreasing with increase in dye concentration. Secondly, biocomposite was synthesized from Psidium guajava leaves and characterized using SEM, FTIR, EDAX, and XRD analyses. The results suggested that it is having a porous nature and cellulose crystal structure and confirmed the presence of chemical elements such as carbon (65.2%), oxygen (29.1%) as primary with Fe, Cl, Na and Ca as secondary elements. The performance of the biocomposite was evaluated for the dye adsorption using spectrophotometric methods. Various operating parameters were optimized using experimental methods and a maximum removal efficiency of 65% was achieved at a pH of 6, dosage of 5 g/L and an adsorption contact time of 120 min. The maximum efficiency (92.78%) was obtained with Fe-SS electrodes and KCl as a sustaining electrolyte under acidic circumstances (pH 6). The biocomposite was observed to be more efficient for higher dye concentration. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were fitted with the experimental results with R2 values as 0.926 and 0.980 respectively. The adsorption kinetics were described using Pseudo-first and Pseudo-second order models, wherein Pseudo-second order model fits the experimental results with R2 value of 0.999. The energy consumption of electrocoagulation (EC) process in the hybrid H-EC-BC system was compared to that of a standard EC process. The results demonstrated that the hybrid system is approximately 7 times more energy efficient than the conventional process, thereby implicating its adaptability for field application.

Effectiveness of polyacrylamide-g-gelatin/ACL/Mg-Fe LDH composite hydrogel as an eliminator of crystal violet dye. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 258:119428. [PMID: 38897437 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Cationic synthetic dyes are one of the hazards in aqueous solutions that can affect the health of humans and living organisms. In the current work, polyacrylamide (PAM)-g-gelatin hydrogel and modified PAM-g-gelatin hydrogel using activated carbon of Luffa cylindrica (ACL) and ACL/Mg-Fe LDH were applied to eliminate crystal violet (CV), a cationic dye, from water media. The hydrogels were synthesized using free radical polymerization approach, and the hydrogels were characterized using FTIR, XRD, TGA-DTG, BET, SEM, and EDX-Map. The surface area of ACL, ACL/Mg-Fe LDH, PAM-g-gelatin, PAM-g-gelatin/ACL, and PAM-g-gelatin/ACL/Mg-Fe LDH were 99.71, 141.99, 0.74, 1.47, and 1.65 m2/g, respectively, which shows that the presence of ACL and ACL/Mg-Fe LDH improved the area of the hydrogels. The maximum abatement of CV using PAM-g-gelatin (92.81%), PAM-g-gelatin/ACL (95.71%), and PAM-g-gelatin/ACL/Mg-Fe LDH (98.25%) was obtained at pH=9, temperature 25 °C, 10 mg/L CV, 60 min time, and adsorber dose of 2 g/L (for PAM-g-gelatin) and 1.5 g/L (other samples). The value of thermodynamic factors confirmed that the abatement process is exothermic and spontaneous. The kinetics data followed the pseudo-second kinetic (PSO) model. The Langmuir isotherm model had a more remarkable ability to describe the equilibrium data. The maximum adsorption capacity for PAM-g-gelatin, PAM-g-gelatin/ACL, and PAM-g-gelatin/ACL/Mg-Fe LDH was determined 35.45, 39.865, and 44.952 mg/g, respectively. Generally, the studied hydrogels can eliminate dyes from wastewater and be used as effective adsorbers.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) present superior adsorption performance to steroid endocrine disruptors. However, the effective recovery and high cost have been a big limitation for their large-scale applications. Herein, magnetic azo-linked porous polymers (Fe3O4@SiO2/ALP-p) were designed and prepared in a green synthesis approach using low-price materials from phloroglucinol and pararosaniline via a diazo-coupling reaction under standard temperature and pressure conditions, which embedded with Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles to form three-dimensional interlayer network structure with flexible-rigid interweaving. The saturated adsorption capacity to bisphenol-A (BPA) was 485.09 mg/g at 298 K, which increased by 1.4 times compared with ALP-p of relatively smaller mass density. This enhanced adsorption was ascribed to increment from surface adsorption and pore filling with 2.3 times of specific surface area and 2.6 times of pore volume, although the total organic functional groups decreased with Fe3O4@SiO2 amendment. Also, the adsorption rate increased by about 1.1 and 1.5-fold due to enhancement in the initial stage of surface adsorption and subsequent stage pore diffusion, respectively. Moreover, this adsorbent could be used in broad pH (3.0-7.0) and salinity adaptability (<0.5 mol/L). The loss of adsorption capacity and magnetic recovery were lower than 1.1% and 0.8% in each operation cycle because of the flexible-rigid interweave. This excellent performance was contributed by synergistic effects from physisorption and chemisorption, such as pore filling, electrostatic attraction, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interaction. This study offered a cost-effective, high-performing, and ecologically friendly material along with a green preparation method.

Enhancing Methylene Blue Dye Removal using pyrolyzed Mytella falcata Shells: Characterization, Kinetics, Isotherm, and Regeneration through Photolysis and Peroxidation. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 73:425-442. [PMID: 37864753 DOI: 10.1007/s00267-023-01898-7] [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: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
The potential of pyrolyzed Mytella falcata shells as an adsorbent for removing methylene blue dye molecules from aqueous solutions was investigated. The study found that the adsorbent produced at 600 °C of pyrolysis temperature, with an adsorbent mass of 0.5 g, particle diameter of 0.297-0.149 mm, and pH 12.0, demonstrated the highest dye molecule removal efficiency of 82.41%. The material's porosity was observed through scanning electron microscopy, which is favorable for adsorption, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction analysis analyses confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate in the crystalline phases. The pseudo-second order model was found to be the best fit for the data, suggesting that the adsorption mechanism involves two steps: external diffusion and diffusion via the solid pores. The Redlich-Peterson isotherm model better represented the equilibrium data, and the methylene blue adsorption was found to be spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic. The hydrogen peroxide with UV oxidation was found to be the most efficient method of regeneration, with a regeneration percentage of 63% achieved using 600 mmol.L-1 of oxidizing agents. The results suggest that pyrolyzed Mytella falcata shells could serve as an ecologically viable adsorbent alternative, reducing the amount of waste produced in the local environment and at the same time removing pollutants from the water. The material's adsorption capacity remained almost constant in the first adsorption-oxidation cycles, indicating its potential for repeated use.

Abstract
In this study, chitosan/nano SiO2 (CTS/NS) was chemically modified with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) cross-linker-assisted hydrothermal process to create an effective adsorbent, CTS-BADGE/NS, for the removal of reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye from aquatic systems. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the adsorption process by varying the adsorbent dose (0.02-0.1 g/100 mL), pH (4-10), and time (20-360 min). The adsorption isotherm results indicated that the Langmuir model fits the experimental data well, suggesting that the adsorption process involves a monolayer formation of RO16 on the surface of CTS-BADGE/NS. The kinetic modeling of RO16 adsorption by CTS-BADGE/NS demonstrated that the pseudo-first-order model fits the adsorption data. CTS-BADGE/NS achieved an adsorption capacity of 97.8 mg/g for RO16 dye at optimum desirability functions of dosage 0.099 g/100 mL, solution pH of 4.44, and temperature of 25 °C. Overall, the π-π electron donor-acceptor system significantly improved the adsorption performance of the CTS-BADGE/NS. The results of the regeneration investigation demonstrate that the CTS-BADGE/NS exhibits effective adsorption of RO16, even after undergoing five consecutive cycles. The results of this study suggest that the developed CTS-BADGE/NS composite can be a promising adsorbent for water purification applications.

Abstract
Bamboo and coffee, which are abundant and inexpensive, have been used as green adsorbents for the adsorption of industrial dye rhodamine B (RB). Bamboo and coffee are natural sources of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making them promising green materials for industrial dye removal. The effects of various adsorption conditions, such as contact time, temperature, dose of bamboo powder (BP), coffee ground (CG), initial concentration of RB, and pH values of RB solution, were measured. Consequently, the kinetics of RB adsorption onto bamboo and coffee was in accordance with the pseudo-second-order model, with an activation energy of 29.51 kJ mol-1 for bamboo and 27.46 kJ mol-1 for coffee. The Langmuir model is well fitted to the whole adsorption period at different temperatures, in which the increase in the tested temperature has improved the adsorption capacity (i.e., BP: 6.76 mg g-1/30 °C, 6.96 mg g-1/40 °C, 7.64 mg g-1/50 °C and CG: 6.53 mg g-1/30 °C, 6.80 mg g-1/40 °C, 7.51 mg g-1/50 °C). Moreover, the spontaneous nature of the adsorption was based on the negative Gibbs free energy values obtained (i.e., from - 11.09 to - 14.30 kJ mol-1 [BP] and from - 10.34 to - 13.07 kJ mol-1 [CG]). These revealed that RB adsorption occurred at physical and chemical adsorption states. In addition, the recycling capability of adsorbents was determined in five cycles. Therefore, these materials are promising candidates for low-cost adsorbents.
