Synthesis and characterization of Co(II) porphyrin complex supported on chitosan/graphene oxide nanocomposite for efficient green oxidation and removal of Acid Orange 7 dye. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17073. [PMID: 39048588 PMCID: PMC11269599 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65517-z] [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: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Catalytic degradation of Acid Orange 7 (AO7) by hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution has been investigated using cobalt(II) complex of 5, 10, 15, 20 Tetrakis [4-(hydroxy)phenyl] porphyrin [Co(II) TPHPP] covalently supported chitosan/Graphene Oxide nanocomposite [Co(II) TPHPP]-Cs/GO, as highly efficient and recoverable heterogeneous catalyst. The structures and properties of [Co(II) TPHPP]-Cs/GO nanocomposite were characterized by techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, TEM, and XRD. The oxidation reaction was followed by recording the UV-Vis spectra of the reaction mixture with time at λmax = 485 nm. [Co(II) TPHPP]-Cs/GO nanocomposite demonstrated high catalytic activity and could decompose 94% of AO7 within 60 min. The factors that may influence the oxidation of Acid Orange 7, such as the effect of reaction temperature, pH, concentration of catalyst, Acid Orange 7, and hydrogen peroxide, have been studied. The results of total organic carbon analysis (TOC) showed 50% of dye mineralization under mild reaction conditions of AO7 (1.42 × 10-4M) with H2O2 (8 × 10-2M) in the presence of [Co(II) TPHPP]-Cs/GO nanocomposite (15 × 10-3 g/ml) and pH = 9 at 40 °C. The reuse and stability of the nanocomposite were examined and remarkably, even after six cycles of reuse, there was no significant degradation or deactivation of the recycled catalyst. Residual organic compounds in the reaction mixture were identified by using GC-MS analyses. The radical scavenging measurements and photoluminescence probing technology of disodium salt of terephthalic acid indicated the formation of the hydroxyl radical as the reactive oxygen species in the [Co(II) TPHPP]-Cs/GO nanocomposite/H2O2 system. A mechanism for the oxidation reaction has been discussed.

Abstract
This investigation portrays the phytochemical screening, green synthesis, characterization of Fe and Zn nanoparticles, their antibacterial, anti-inflammation, cytotoxicity, and anti-thrombolytic activities. Four dissimilar solvents such as, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol were used to prepare the extracts of Phlomis cashmeriana Royle ex Benth. This is valued medicinal plant (Family Lamiaceae), native to mountains of Afghanistan and Kashmir. In the GC-MS study of its extract, the identified phytoconstituents have different nature such as terpenoids, alcohol and esters. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, UV, XRD, and FT-IR. The phytochemical analysis showed that the plant contains TPC (total phenolic content) 297.51 mg GAE/g and TFC (total flavonoid content) 467.24 mg CE/g. The cytotoxicity values have shown that the chloroform, n-butanol and aqueous extracts were more toxic than other extracts. The anti-inflammatory potential of n-butanol and aqueous extracts was found higher than all other extracts. Chloroform and n-hexane extracts have low MIC values against both E. coli and S. aureus bacterial strains. Chloroform and aqueous extracts have great anti-thrombolytic potential than all other extracts. Overall, this study successfully synthesized the nanoparticles and provides evidence that P. cashmeriana have promising bioactive compounds that could serve as potential source in the drug formulation.

Abstract
In the study, a novel chitosan biopolymer and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (IL)-incorporated sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) composite (Ch-IL@SPEEK) was prepared for adsorption of cationic crystal violet (CV) dye. The proposed composite was well characterized by several techniques. CV adsorption performance was examined via batch studies by varying various variables involving adsorbent dosage, contact time pH and temperature. The isotherm results were demonstrated the adsorption characters of the processes were Langmuirian. The maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 77.66 mg g-1 for the composite which was significantly higher than SPEEK (qmax = 45.36 mg g-1). The determined equilibrium time of the operated system was 360 min and the kinetic model was assessed as Elovich. At low pHs the protonated surface groups repelled the positively charged CV and the adsorption rate increased with increasing pH. The process is spontaneous and favorable as it proceeds via endothermic interactions. Furthermore, even at the end of 5 successful adsorption cycles, 77.86 % CV removal was obtained. Remarkable efficiencies were also achieved in the removal performance of different organic pollutants. Based on the reported results, Ch-IL@SPEEK composite were exhibited as an impressive adsorbent material for adsorption processes.

Abstract
Radionuclides, emanating as consequential by-products of nuclear operations, are recognized as a potent source of environmentally deleterious contamination. In light of these concerns, the present investigation has employed unmodified natural pumice within a batch process to effectuate the removal of Cs-137 radionuclides from real liquid radioactive wastes (RLRWs). The discernment of optimal adsorption parameters encompassed a pH level of 5, a pumice dosage of 3.33 g/L, a mixing duration of 5 min, a mixing speed of 100 revolutions per minute, all maintained at room temperature. The attainment of a peak removal efficiency of 91.75% for Cs-137 substantiates the efficacy of the chosen conditions. Moreover, the determination of regression coefficients (R2) arising from the application of Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm analyses yielded values of 0.91 and 0.96, respectively, thus validating the appropriateness of both models in depicting the adsorption mechanism. Evidently, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model exhibited a high correlation coefficient of 0.99, attesting to its aptitude in characterizing the adsorption dynamics. A thermodynamic appraisal of the process indicated an endothermic nature, offering insights into the fundamental energetics governing the interaction. Consequently, the adsorption phenomenon unfolded predominantly on monolayer, heterogeneous surfaces, with chemical interactions taking precedence on the active pumice sites.

Abstract
In order to obtain super synergy effect between adsorption and Fenton oxidation for crystal violet (CV) removement from water, in this study, Fe modified on a sponge structure peanut shell carbon (Fe/SPSC) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a wet impregnation method. In the Fe/SPSC sample, the prepared peanut shell carbon had a sponge-like structure, (002) crystal plane of graphite crystallite, and Fe/SPSC composite coexisted Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 crystalline, which could adsorb and enrich crystal violet molecule, decrease the concentration of CV solution rapidly. And also SPSC could do better for electrons transfer and further promote CV oxidation degradation. The removal efficiency results showed that the 7% Fe/SPSC (500 °C, 2 h) had the best CV removal activity. The composite prepared under the optimum conditions is 2.0 g/L, 0.1 mL 30% H2O2, pH = 7.0, 300 mg/L crystal violet water solution, and the CV degradation rate can reach 95.5%, and the CV degradation amount for Fe/SPSC was 143.25 mg/g. It was confirmed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) is the active center of Fenton oxidation degradation reaction. XPS results showed that Fe, O, and C elements coexist in the 7% Fe/SPSC composite, and N element content increases after the reaction. Remarkable synergies between adsorption and Fenton oxidation, which could make Fe/SPSC, have quick CV abatement ability. The possible systematic effect mechanism of adsorption and Fenton-oxidation CV was also supplied. The present system has advantages on high CV dye degradation performance, no other Fe sludge formation, short reaction time, and better catalyst reusability.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) is a material that is extensively applied for water pollution treatment, but its poor dispersibility, easy oxidation, and inconvenient collection limit its application. To overcome these drawbacks and limit secondary contamination of nanomaterials, we confine NZVI supported by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in the scaffold of sodium alginate (SA) gel beads (SA/NZVI-rGO). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the NZVI was uniformly dispersed in the gel beads. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the hydrogen bonding and conjugation between SA and rGO allowed the NZVI-rGO to be successfully embedded in SA. Furthermore, the mechanical strength, swelling resistance, and Cr(VI) removal capacity of SA/NZVI-rGO were enhanced by optimizing the ratio of NZVI and rGO. Interestingly, cation exchange may drive Cr(VI) removal above 82% over a wide pH range. In the complex environment of actual Cr(VI) wastewater, Cr(VI) removal efficiency still reached 70.25%. Pseudo-first-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm are preferred to explain the removal process. The mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by SA/NZVI-rGO is dominated by reduction and adsorption. The sustainable removal of Cr(VI) by packed columns could be well fitted by the Thomas, Adams-Bohart, and Yoon-Nelson models, and importantly, the gel beads maintained integrity during the prolonged removal. These results will contribute significant insights into the practical application of SA/NZVI-rGO beads for the Cr(VI) removal in aqueous environments.

Abstract
The main aim of this work was to use the iron-iron oxide nanochains (Fe NCs) as adsorbents of the carcinogenic cationic crystal violet (CV) and anionic Congo red (CR) dyes from water. The investigated adsorbent was prepared by a magnetic-field-induced reduction reaction, and it revealed a typical core-shell structure. It was composed of an iron core covered by a thin Fe3O4 shell (<4 nm). The adsorption measurements conducted with UV-vis spectroscopy revealed that 15 mg of Fe NCs constituted an efficient dose to be used in the CV and CR treatment. The highest effectiveness of CV and CR removal was found for a contact time of 90 min at pH 7 and 150 min at pH 8, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The adsorption process followed the Temkin model for both dyes taking into account the highest value of the R2 coefficient, whereas in the case of CR, the Redlich-Peterson model could be also considered. The maximal adsorption capacity estimated from the Langmuir isotherms for the CV and CR was 778.47 and 348.46 mg g-1, respectively. Based on the Freundlich model, both dyes adsorbed on the Fe NCs through chemisorption, but Coulombic interactions between the dye and adsorbent cannot be excluded in the case of the CV dye. The obtained results proved that the investigated Fe NCs had an excellent adsorption ability for both dye molecules within five cycles of adsorption/desorption, and therefore, they can be considered as a promising material for water purification and environmental applications.

Abstract
In this study, bare zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) have been modified using polyethylene glycol (PEG) of various molecular weight in a facile technique. The synthesized nZVI modified with PEG, M.W. of 600 and 6000 was denoted by nZVI-PEG600 and nZVI-PEG6000, respectively, and compared their catalytic activity towards the reductive degradation of Congo red (CR) using NaBH4.The existence of PEG layer surrounds the nZVI core was confirmed by several characterization tools, such as XRD, FTIR, FESEM and TEM. Herein, both nZVI-PEG600 and nZVI-PEG6000 exhibited remarkable removal efficiencies of 89.6% and 99.2% within 14 min of reaction time. The optimum reaction parameters were found to be as follows: 0.2 g L-1 catalyst dose and initial dye concentration of 2 × 10-5 molL-1 etc. Kinetic studies of dye degradation were investigated which follow pseudo-1st-order kinetics. The TOC analysis confirmed the complete mineralization of CR dye by nZVI-PEG6000 nanocatalyst. GCMS analysis of plausible degraded products was performed to elucidate a probable mechanistic pathway of CR degradation. Further, we have investigated the degradation of two anionic dyes mixture, i.e., CR and methyl orange (MO) using best catalyst, i.e., nZVI-PEG6000.

Abstract
In the quest of improving the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts, the combination of two and more semiconductors recently has garnered significant attention among scientists in the field. The doping of conductive metals is also an effective pathway to improve photocatalytic performance by avoiding electron/hole pair recombination and enhancing photon energy absorption. This work presented a design and fabrication of porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite using acid-base neutralization-induced self-assembly approach from monomeric porphyrin and g-C3N4/Ag material. g-C3N4/Ag material was synthesized by a green reductant of Cleistocalyx operculatus leaf extract. Electron scanning microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectrometer were utilized to analyse the properties of the prepared materials. The prepared porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite showed well integration of porphyrin nanostructures on the g-C3N4/Ag's surface, in which porphyrin nanofiber was of the diameter in nanoscales and the length of several micrometers, and Ag NPs had an average particle size of less than 20 nm. The photocatalytic behavior of the resultant nanocomposite was tested for the degradation of Rhodamine B dye, which exhibited a remarkable RhB photodegrading percentage. The possible mechanism for photocatalysis of the porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite toward Rhodamine B dye was also proposed and discussed.

Abstract
The effect of initial salt composition on the formation of zero-valent bimetallic FeCo was investigated in this work. Pure crystalline zero-valent FeCo nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained using either chloride or nitrate salts of both metals. Smaller NPs can be obtained using nitrate salts. Comparing the features of the FeCo prepared at room temperature and the solvothermal method revealed that both materials are almost identical. However, the room-temperature method is simpler, quicker, and saves energy. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of the FeCo NPs prepared using nitrate salts at room temperature demonstrated the absence of oxygen and the presence and uniform distribution of Fe and Co within the structure with the atomic ratio very close to the initially planned one. The particles were sphere-like with a mean particle size of 7 nm, saturation magnetization of 173.32 emu/g, and surface area of 30 m2/g. The removal of Cu2+ and reactive blue 5 (RB5) by FeCo in a single-component system was conformed to the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. The isotherm study confirmed the ability of FeCo for the simultaneous removal of Cu2+ and RB5 with more selectivity toward Cu2+. The RB5 has a synergistic effect on Cu2+ removal, while Cu2+ has an antagonistic effect on RB5 removal.

Abstract
The integration of metal-organic frameworks with other functional materials has recently emerged as a promising approach for creating innovative materials for environmental remediation. Here, a nano-sized iron/nickel (Fe/Ni) functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8-Fe/Ni) was fabricated for oxytetracycline (OTC) removal from wastewater. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometric I-t measurements indicated that OTC was degraded by ZIF-8-Fe/Ni. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), transmission electron microscopy mapping (TEM-mapping) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that Fe/Ni was evenly dispersed throughout ZIF-8 and partially oxidized after reaction with OTC. OTC adsorption isotherms and kinetics best fitted the Langmuir isotherm (R2 > 0.982) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.997), respectively. Reduction kinetics data followed the pseudo-first-order model (R2 > 0.905), where the apparent activation energy (Ea) was 22.9 kJ mol-1, demonstrating that OTC degradation was mainly via a chemical process. The practical removal efficiency of OTC from real wastewater by ZIF-8-Fe/Ni was 92.6%, where even after application of ZIF-8-Fe/Ni for 5 consecutive removal cycles, a high OTC removal of 74.9% was maintained. Thus ZIF-8-Fe/Ni exhibited both high removal efficiency and good recyclability.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) contamination is a significant environmental issue in mining impacted areas, where the use of nanomaterials to remove such metalloid species has attracted much research attention. In this study, the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) was investigated using a reduced graphene oxide/Fe/Ni (rGO-Fe/Ni NPs) composite. Compared to rGO alone the composite exhibited enhanced removal efficiency. For rGO-Fe/Ni NPs the maximum Sb(III) and Sb(V) adsorption capacities were 2.00 and 1.41 mg·g-1, respectively, compared to 1.70 and 1.02 mg·g-1 for Sb(III) and Sb(V), respectively, when using rGO only. This indicated that Fe/Ni enhanced the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V). Advanced characterization via SEM and XPS before and after exposure to Sb indicated that both Sb(III) and Sb(V) were adsorbed on to the surface of rGO-Fe/Ni NPs, followed by oxidation of Sb(III) to Sb(V). Adsorption and oxidation kinetics both conformed to pseudo-second order models, where the mechanism for the simultaneous removal of Sb(III) and Sb(V) by rGO-Fe/Ni NPs involved a combination of both adsorption and oxidation. Moreover, the practical adsorption capacity of rGO-Fe/Ni was not limited to Sb, since in a real mining wastewater; containing a mixture of metal(loid)s, while rGO-Fe/Ni exhibited a Sb adsorption capacity of 1.59 mg·g-1, it also exhibited similar adsorption capacities for As (2.61 mg·g-1), Pb (2.41 mg·g-1), and Cd (1.25 mg·g-1). The composite was also highly reusable with a removal efficiency for Sb(III) as high as 72.7% after 4 cycles of use. Thus, rGO-Fe/Ni NPs has significant potential for the practical removal of Sb species and other heavy metal(loid)s in mining impacted wastewaters.

Abstract
Nano-zero-valent iron (NZVI), as an electron donor, performed excellence in the reduction and remove of nitrate. However, the easy agglomeration and poor antioxidation of NZVI declined the nitrate removal and limited the application in the field of wastewater treatment. Herein, a novel composite packing of tea polyphenol, NZVI and modified polyethylene carrier (TP-NZVI/PE) was prepared and characterized, the removal efficiency of nitrate was verified, and the preliminary removal mechanism was finally investigated. The results showed that the maximum iron loading on TP-NZVI/PE composite achieved under 50 °C, pH of 5.0, 4.0 g/L of Fe2+, and 7.2 g/L of TP, respectively, with 3.51 ± 0.12 mg/g. NZVI presented satisfactory antioxidation and anti-agglomeration via TP encapsulation. TP encapsulation of TP-NZVI/PE composite was easily degraded by microorganisms and NZVI was exposed to nitrate during wastewater treatment, which made the reduction of nitrate possible. The nitrate removal efficiency of TP-NZVI/PE composite with microorganism was 79.88 ± 0.17%, higher three times than that of TP-NZVI/PE (25.54 ± 0.21%). The oxidized NZVI was transformed to Fe2+/Fe3+, which were prone to adsorb nitrate and then co-precipitate. It was favorable for further removal of nitrate. Results suggested a novel approach for fast and eco-friendly preparation and efficient application of NZVI.

Abstract
Unique zerovalent iron (Fe0) supported on biochar nanocomposite (Fe0-BRtP) was synthesized from Nephelium lappaceum (Rambutan) fruit peel waste and were applied for the simultaneous removal of 6 selected organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from aqueous medium. During facile synthesis of Fe0-BRtP, Rambutan peel extract was used as the green reducing mediator to reduce Fe2+ to zerovalent iron (Fe0), instead of toxic sodium borohydride which were used for chemical synthesis. For comparison, chemically synthesized Fe0-BChe nanocomposite was also prepared in this work. Characterization study confirmed the successful synthesis and dispersion of Fe0 nanoparticles on biochar surface. Batch experiments revealed that Fe0-BRtP and Fe0-BChe nanocomposites combine the advantage of adsorption and dechlorination of OCPs in aqueous medium and up to 96-99% and 83-91% removal was obtained within 120 and 150 min, respectively at initial pH 4. Nevertheless, the reactivity of Fe0-BChe nanocomposite decreased 2 folds after being aged in air for one month, whilst Fe0-BRtP almost remained the same. Adsorption isotherm of OCPs were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm and then to Freundlich isotherm. The experimental kinetic data were fitted first to pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic model and then to pseudo-first-order reduction kinetic model. The adsorption mechanism involves π-π electron-donor-acceptor interaction and adsorption is facilitated by the hydrophobic sorption and pore filling. After being reused five times, the removal efficiency of regenerated Fe0-BChe and Fe0-BRtP was 5-13% and 89-92%, respectively. The application of this Fe0-BRtP nanocomposite could represent a green and low-cost potential material for adsorption and subsequent reduction of OCPs in aquatic system.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) has been well known as a pigment crystal to selectively sequestrate the radioactive cesium ion released from aqueous solutions owing to PB cage size similar to the cesium ion. Because the small size of PB is hard to deal with, the adsorbents containing PB have been prepared in the form of composites causing low sequestration efficiency of cesium. In this study, securely anchored PB nanocrystals on the surface of millimeter-sized porous polyacrylamide (PAAm) spheres (PB@PAAm) have been prepared by the crystallization of PB on the Fe3+ adsorbed PAAm. The securely anchored PB nanocrystals have been demonstrated to be selective and efficient adsorbents for sequestration of the radioactive cesium. The well-interconnected-spherical pores and millimeter-sized diameter of the PB@PAAm adsorbents facilitated permeation of Cs+ into the adsorbent and ease of handling respectively. Especially the well-interconnected-spherical pores allowed that PB@PAAm showed 90% of its maximum Cs+ adsorption capacity within 30 min. The PB@PAAm showed an outstanding Cs+ capture ability of 374 mg/g, high removal efficiency of 85% even at low concentration of Cs+ (10 ng/L), and superior selectivity of Cs+ against interference ions of Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

Abstract
The quest for finding an effective photocatalyst for environmental remediation and treatment strategies is attracting considerable attentions from scientists. In this study, a new hybrid material, Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4-TiO2, was designed and fabricated using coprecipitation and sol-gel approaches for degrading organic dyes in wastewater. The prepared hybrid materials were fully characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results revealed that the Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4-TiO2 hybrid material was successfully synthesized with average particle sizes of 40.09 nm for TiO2 and 27.9 nm for Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4. As the calculated bandgap energy of the hybrid material was approximately 2.86 eV, it could harvest photon energy in the visible region. Results indicate that the Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4-TiO2 also had reasonable magnetic properties with a saturation magnetization value of 11.2 emu/g, which is a level of making easy separation from the solution by an external magnet. The resultant Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4-TiO2 hybrid material revealed better photocatalytic performance for rhodamine B dye (consistent removal rate in the 13.96 × 10-3 min-1) compared with free-standing Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4 and TiO2 materials. The recyclability and photocatalytic mechanism of Cu0.5Mg0.5Fe2O4-TiO2 are also well discussed.

Abstract
Some metals in oil sands process water (OSPW) are potential threats to human health and the environment. Hence, the removal of excess metals from OSPW is of great significance. In this study, anaerobic sludge waste from a wastewater treatment plant, was reused to prepare sludge-based biochar. A Biochar/Chitosan (Biochar/CS) adsorbent with excellent removal efficiency for metals (Cr, Cu, Se and Pb) in real OSPW was prepared through a facile hydrothermal method. The structural properties of the synthesized Biochar/CS composite were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. This study reports for the first time the removal of metals from OSPW under natural pH using Biochar/CS adsorbent. The composite exhibited a higher removal efficiency towards Cr (83.9%), Cu (97.5%), Se (87.9%) and Pb (94.3%) when the initial concentrations of Cr, Cu, Se and Pb were 0.02914, 0.06185, 0.00800 and 0.00516 mg/L, respectively, at a dosage of 0.5 g/L, compared with biochar or chitosan alone. The possible adsorption mechanism was proposed, and the enhanced removal ability was due to the improved specific surface area and pore volume, which increased by about 20 and 14 times as compared with chitosan. Functional groups in the composite, such as -NH2, -OH and some oxygen containing groups, were also responsible for the enhanced removal ability, which also might be the reason for the better performance of the composite than biochar alone due to the lack of functional groups on the biochar. Moreover, the adsorption process was best modelled by the Freundlich model, pseudo second order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. The results indicated that chemical adsorption might play the dominant role in the removal process. Overall, the Biochar/CS composite would be a promising and effective adsorbent for metals removal, owing to its advantages of being cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Abstract
Rejected water from sludge processing in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is very harmful due to its high concentration of ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus. It is therefore necessary to find a low-cost and convenient technique to simultaneously remove ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus from rejected water. In this study, natural granular zeolite was modified by NaCl and La(OH)3 to obtain a new material (Na@La-MZP), with several advantages compared with powdered zeolite. Na@La-MZP could remove 92.61% ammonia nitrogen (50 mg/L) and 99.01% phosphate (60 mg/L) at the optimal conditions of dosage 12.5 g/L, initial pH 6.0 and reaction time 12 hours, which enabled the effluent to satisfy the discharge standard (GB 18918-2002) for municipal WWTPs in China. The maximum adsorption capacity of Na@La-MZP was determined as 17.92 mg NH4+-N/g and 9.53 mg P/g by the Langmuir isotherm. Pseudo-second-order kinetics could well illustrate the adsorption process and show that the ammonia nitrogen and phosphate can be degraded by chemical reaction. The characterizations of Na@La-MZP confirmed the removal mechanism of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate. The Na@La-MZP still maintained more than 75% removal efficiency after five reuses. Furthermore, the estimated cost of this treatment method was 0.22 $/m3 rejected water.

Abstract
Green synthesized iron nanoparticles have been received increasing attention due to its advantages of a simple, rapid and cost-effective synthesis. In this study, green iron nanoparticles by grape seed extracts (GS-Fe-NPs) were used as a heterogeneous catalyst of Fenton-like system to degrade bisphenol A (BPA) in the aqueous solution. The properties of GS-Fe-NPs before and after reaction were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction respectively. Effect factors, including initial pH value, initial BPA concentration, GS-Fe-NPs dosage, H2O2 dose and temperature on the degradation were investigated systematically. Good performances on the BPA degradation were observed over the wider pH range (3.0-11.0) in the GS-Fe-NPs/H2O2 system. At solution initial pH 6.9 (not adjusted), the BPA degradation efficiency could achieve 96.4% with GS-Fe-NPs 0.30 g/L and H2O2 1.0 mol/L at 308 K. Furthermore, quenching experiments confirmed that OH was the main free radical and its contribution to the BPA degradation varied with the initial pH. The kinetics behavior of BPA degradation had good agreements with the pseudo-first-order model (R12 0.9710-0.9997), suggesting that the degradation of BPA is dominated by redox process. Based on the identified intermediates by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, the possible degradation pathways and BPA removal mechanism in the GS-Fe-NPs/H2O2 system were proposed. It provides a simple and effective water treatment method for BPA contaminated water.

Abstract
In this study, montmorillonite-supported nanoscaled zero-valent iron (Mt-nZVI) composites were fabricated using a facile liquid-phase reduction method to avoid serious agglomeration of nZVI particles in suspensions due to magnetic effect. The morphology, crystal structure, functional groups, and magnetic properties of as-prepared composites were explored using scanning and transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope, zeta potential analyzer, and superconducting quantum interference device. The fabricated composites were then applied to remove antibiotic oxytetracycline from water. The optimal weight ratio of the Mt particles (mean size, 25 μm) to the nZVI particles (size, 60-100 nm) was first determined to be 2:1 (simply denoted as 2Mt-nZVI). Experimental results showed that 99% of 100 mg/L oxytetracycline at pH 5.0 was removed using 0.6 g/L of the 2Mt-nZVI composite and the mineralization reached 70% after 20 min of reaction. Finally, the transformation products and intermediates were detected and identified by a high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the pathways were proposed during the degradation of oxytetracycline over the 2Mt-nZVI composite.

Abstract
This study focuses on the synthesis of granular red mud reinforced by zero-valent iron (Fe@GRM) and its application for the removal acid orange 7 (AO7) from aqueous solution. Then ZVI is employed as a catalyst for the activation of persulfate (PS) to produce sulfate radicals (SO4•-) that are produced at 900 °C in an anoxic atmosphere using the direct reduction of iron oxide in the red mud with maize straw as the reductant. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) are used to illustrate the morphology and porous structure of the Fe@GRM. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that Fe@GRM was loaded with zero-valent iron. This characterization confirmed that the Fe@GRM was a porous structure material that contained zero-valent iron. The influence of conditions for AO7 elimination, including initial pH, Fe@GRM dosage, initial AO7 concentrations, and temperature, is also investigated. The removal efficiency of AO7 was 90.78% using Fe@GRM/PS, while only 18.15% was removed when Fe@GRM was used alone. The degradation kinetics were well fitted to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the rate of removal increased with temperature, demonstrating an endothermic elimination process. The Arrhenius activation energy of the process was 20.77 kJ/mol, which indicated that the reduction of AO7 was a diffusion-mediated reaction. Fe@GRM is a low-cost material that demonstrated outstanding performance with great potential for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Since elevated levels of common nutrients, such as ammonia and phosphate, in natural water bodies (lakes and rivers) can lead to significant deterioration of pristine water ecosystems due to eutrophication, new and cost-effectiveness remediation strategies are urgently required. This work investigated the feasibility of using green synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed onto zeolite by eucalyptus leaf extracts (EL-MNP@zeolite), to simultaneously remove ammonia and phosphate from aqueous solutions. SEM and XRD both showed that EL-MNP@zeolite had better stability and dispersity than unsupported zeolite. At an initial concentration of 10 mg L-1 each for the two co-existing ions the synthesized material removed 43.3% of NH4+ and 99.8% of PO43-. Removal of co-existing NH4+-PO43- was impacted by the ratio of zeolite to EL-MNP, temperature, initial ion concentration and solution pH. Under optimium conditions the maximum adsorption capacity of EL-MNP@zeolite for NH4+ and PO43- was 3.47 and 38.91 mg g-1, respectively. For both ions' adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic reaction, confirming that the removal of ammonia and phosphate by EL-MNP@zeolite was via chemisorptions, where interaction between NH4+-PO43- and EL-MNP@zeolite may be through either electrostatic adsorption or ligand exchange. Overall these results indicated that EL-MNP@zeolite had significant potential as a nano-remediation strategy to simultaneously remove cationic ammonium and anionic phosphate from wastewaters.

Abstract
The mixed contamination of environmental matrices by antibacterial agents and heavy metals has attracted much attention worldwide due to the complex nature of their environmental interactions and their potential toxicity. In this work, green synthesized bimetallic iron/nickel nanoparticles (Fe/Ni NPs) was used to simultaneously remove triclosan (TCS) and copper (Cu (II)) under optimal experimental conditions with removal efficiencies of 75.8 and 44.1% respectively. However, in a mixed contaminant system the removal efficiencies of TCS and Cu (II) were lower than when TCS (85.8%) and Cu (II) (52.5%) were removed separately, suggesting that there was competitive relationship between the two contaminants and Fe/Ni NPs used for remediation. SEM-EDS, XRD and FTIR all indicated that both TCS and Cu (II) were adsorbed onto Fe/Ni NPs. Furthermore, while XPS showed that Cu (II) was reduced to Cu0, GC-MS analysis showed that TCS also underwent degradation with 2,7/2,8-Cl2DD as the major intermediate. The adsorption of both contaminants fit well a pseudo second order kinetic model (R2>0.998) and the Freundlich isotherm (R2>0.905). Whereas the reduction kinetics obeyed a pseudo first order model. Thus, overall the removal of TCS and Cu (II) involved a combination of both adsorption and reduction. Finally, a removal mechanism for triclosan and Cu (II) was proposed. Overall, Fe/Ni NPs have the potential to practically coinstantaneously remove both TCS and Cu (II) from aqueous solution under a wide range of conditions.

Abstract
Polypyrrole/Attapulgite-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (PPy/APT-nZVI) composites employed to extract Naphthol Green B (NGB) from aqueous solution, were successfully fabricated by chemical oxidative polymerization and liquid-phase reduction method. Comparison experiment of different materials showed that 99.59% of NGB was removed using PPy/APT-nZVI (1:0.5) after 25 min, much higher than APT, PPy, PPy/APT and nZVI. The morphology and structure of PPy/APT-nZVI (1:0.5) composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which confirmed the high disperse and activity of nZVI after supported by PPy/APT. Furthermore, dynamic studies revealed that removal process was highly consistent with not only the pseudo-second-order model for adsorption but also pseudo-first-order model for degradation process, which proved the removal was controlled by chemical surface-limiting step. A possible removal mechanism, containing prompt adsorption of NGB onto the PPy/APT-nZVI (1:0.5) surface and being degraded by nZVI, was put forward. Additionally, the stability study verified the activity of nZVI can retain longer time than that of single nZVI due to such powerfully protective layers of PPy/APT.

Abstract
In this study, a novel form of zero valent iron nanoparticle (GMP-nZVI) was successfully synthesized using mango peel extracts. Iron on the surface of the synthesized particle was negligible. Surface structure and compositional analysis was carried out using XPS and FTIR whereby the characteristic feature of the analysis highlighted the role of few organic compounds in the synthesis of GMP-nZVI. Depth profiling of GMP-nZVI by XPS indicated increasing intensity of Fe0 while the portion of Fe+2/Fe+3 and the dominant species which were on the surface (i.e. C and O) were decreasing. The structural form of GMP-nZVI has a layer of polyphenol followed by the oxides and hydroxides of iron onto the metallic iron which has a shell structure of 'Fe+3/Fe+2-polyphenol' complex islands on the core metallic iron (graphical abstract). The use of mango peel in the synthesis is a low cost approach and economically viable which also provides new insight of waste recycling and nanoremediation.

Abstract
In this paper, a Zeolite Imidazole Framework-8 (ZIF-8), was investigated for the removal of a mixture of two common antibiotics, tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC). Batch experiments showed that 90.7% of TC and 82.5% of OTC were simultaneously removed using ZIF-8. The maximum adsorption capacities for TC and OTC were 303.0 and 312.5 mg g-1, respectively. For both antibiotics' adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and best fit the Langmuir adsorption model with R2 of 0.963 and 0.981, for TC and OTC at 303 K, respectively. The relatively large specific surface area of ZIF-8 (1158.2 m2 g-1) combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that both antibiotics were adsorbed on to the surface of ZIF-8. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy both indicated the presence of benzene ring structures, associated with both pollutants, on ZIF-8 after reaction; which confirmed adsorption was occurring. XPS also showed the presence of CO double bonds on the surface of ZIF-8 indicating the presence of antibiotics. The adsorption mechanism most likely involved π-π interactions between the conjugated groups in TC/OTC and the imidazole rings of ZIF-8.

Abstract
In this paper, polyaniline/attapulgite (PANI/APT)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) composites were synthesized by liquid-phase chemical reduction method and used for the removal of two kinds of dyes. The structure of as-prepared nZVI/PANI/APT was characterized by various test methods. The removal property and degradation mechanism for azo (alizarin yellow R, methyl red, chrome black T, methyl orange) and non-azo (methylene blue, rhodamine B) dyes in aqueous solution were investigated. The presence of PANI/APT can decrease the aggregation of nZVI particles with maintenance of reactivity and improving adsorption capacity for degradation azo dye. The experiment results showed that the removal property of the composite materials on azo dyes is obviously better than that on non-azo dyes. The varying removal efficiencies of dyes depend on the different degradation mechanisms. Azo dyes removal by nZVI/PANI/APT was mainly due to the reductive cleavage of the N = N of nZVI, while non-azo dyes removal mainly contributes to the adsorption of PANI/APT. The study demonstrated that nZVI/PANI/APT has potential applications for the removal of azo dyes from wastewaters.

Abstract
This study reports the adsorption of five rare earth elements (REEs) (belonging to light (Nd, Eu, Gd), medium (Tb), and heavy (Y) REE group) on montmorillonite-supported zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI-M). Various parameters about REEs adsorption were investigated: the pH value, the adsorption kinetic, the maximum adsorption capacity, and the adsorption isotherm. The temperature (293-313 K) had a limited effect on the final adsorption equilibrium capacity and the analysis of thermodynamic studies suggests it was spontaneous (negative values of ∆Go) and exothermic (negative values of ∆Ho). The system randomness decreased after adsorption (negative values of ∆So). In addition, the values of thermodynamic parameters and the activation energy were strongly dependent on the temperature range because different kinds of REEs participated in the reaction in the form of hydrated ions and followed a randomly and complexly dissociative adsorption mechanism. According to the intraparticle diffusion model analysis, the adsorption of REEs on nZVI-M was dominated by chemisorption and the nano size of nZVI-M reduced the diffusion thickness and the resistance to intraparticle diffusion. Based on the characterization of adsorbent by XPS, the adsorption mechanisms of REEs on nZVI-M were ion exchange and surface complexation.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles were investigated for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions and the treatment of textile industry effluents. The nZVI material was characterized by XRD, TEM, EDS, FTIR, and SEM. It was demonstrated that several functional groups such as C-H, C = C, C-C, and C-O contributed to MB reduction. At initial MB concentration of 70 mg/L, the optimum pH was 6, achieving a removal efficiency of 72.1% using an nZVI dosage of 10 g/L, stirring rate of 150 rpm, and temperature of 30 °C within 30 min. The adsorption isotherm was described by the Langmuir model with monolayer coverage of 5.53 mg/g, and the Freundlich equation with multilayer adsorption capacity of 1.59 (mg/g)·(L/mg)1/n. The removal mechanisms of MB included reduction into colorless leuco-MB, precipitation as Fe(II)-MB, adsorption as ZVI-MB or FeOOH-MB, and/or degradation using •OH radicals. The synthesized nZVI particles were applied to reduce various organic and inorganic compounds, as well as heavy metal ions from real textile wastewater samples. The removal efficiencies of COD, BOD, TN, TP, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+ reached up to 91.9%, 87.5%, 65.2%, 78.1%, 100.0%, 29.6%, and 99.0%, respectively. The treatment cost of 1 m3 of textile wastewater was estimated as 1.66 $USD.

Abstract
Highly promising artificial intelligence tools, including neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), were applied in the present study to develop an approach for the evaluation of Se(IV) removal from aqueous solutions by reduced graphene oxide-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI/rGO) composites. Both GA and PSO were used to optimize the parameters of ANN. The effect of operational parameters (i.e., initial pH, temperature, contact time and initial Se(IV) concentration) on the removal efficiency was examined using response surface methodology (RSM), which was also utilized to obtain a dataset for the ANN training. The ANN-GA model results (with a prediction error of 2.88%) showed a better agreement with the experimental data than the ANN-PSO model results (with a prediction error of 4.63%) and the RSM model results (with a prediction error of 5.56%), thus the ANN-GA model was an ideal choice for modeling and optimizing the Se(IV) removal by the nZVI/rGO composites due to its low prediction error. The analysis of the experimental data illustrates that the removal process of Se(IV) obeyed the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the Se 3d and 3p peaks found in XPS spectra for the nZVI/rGO composites after removing treatment illustrates that the removal of Se(IV) was mainly through the adsorption and reduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), with its reductive potentials and wide availability, offers degradative remediation for environmental pollutants. However, weaknesses such as easy aggregation, easy oxidation, and nanoscale size have hindered its further applications in the environment to some extent. Therefore, various supported nZVI composites (SNCs) with higher dispersibility, enhanced water stability, and tunable size have been developed to overcome the weaknesses. SNCs family is a great alternative for water purification applications that require high removal efficiency and rapid kinetics, as a result of their multifunctional properties and magnetic separation capacity. In this review, we compare the advantages of SNCs to nZVI for pollutant removal in water, discuss for the first time the synthetic techniques of obtaining SNCs, and analyze the influencing factors and mechanisms associated with the removal of some typical hazardous pollutants (e.g., dyes, heavy metals, nitrogen, and phosphorus) using SNCs. Moreover, limitations and future research needs of such material are discussed. More attention should be paid to the evaluation of toxicity, development of green synthetic routes, and potential application areas of such materials in future research.
