Abstract
Arsenic contamination of water is a global environmental concern, and membrane technology combined with nanotechnology contributes to more efficient removal of arsenic. In this study, Fe-Mn oxide (FM), Polydopamine (PDA), and PDA-modified FM (PFM) were incorporated into polysulfone (PSF) to prepare adsorption membranes (PFMP) for arsenic removal. The prepared nanoparticles and membranes were characterized using TEM, SEM, FTIR, TGA, contact angle, and pure water flux. The introduction of particles enhanced the hydrophilicity of the membranes and significantly enhanced the pure water flux of the membranes. Adsorption experiments indicated that the PFMP membrane exhibited the best arsenic removal performance, with maximum adsorption capacities for As(III) and As(V) were 11.57 mg/g and 12.39 mg/g, respectively. The Langmuir model fitted the adsorption isotherms well, and the kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. The filtration experiment revealed that the PFMP membrane was capable of reducing As(III) solution (915 L/m2) and As(V) solution (1075 L/m2) from a concentration of 100 μg/L to the safe limit of As (<10 μg/L). The As-loaded membrane was regenerated using NaOH solution (pH=11), and the filtration experiment was repeated. FTIR and XPS demonstrated that the mechanism of the reaction between the membrane and arsenic was ligand exchange, where the arsenic ions were bonded to the oxygen ions to form Mn-O-As and Fe-O-As.

Effect of basic and basic/acid modifications on the surface of PVDF membranes for the insertion of TiO 2 and its use in environmental applications.

Abstract
Supporting titanium oxide (TiO2) on polymeric membrane surfaces is a strategy to increase the photocatalytic activity of this material as well as to modify membrane surface with antifouling properties or to develop hybrid processes of water treatment. The chemical characteristics of the polymeric membrane surfaces are a determining factor in the correct impregnation of TiO2 particles. In this work, the titanium oxide was immobilized on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane surface by direct impregnation during the synthesis of the inorganic particles by sol-gel route. The PVDF membranes were previously modified by treatments based on an alkaline attack followed by acid treatment. The final TiO2-modified membranes were characterized by infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as well as by scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the changes on the surface characteristics were determined by contact angle measurements. Finally, the membranes were tested on the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO). The results obtained indicate that the basic/acid pretreatment allows the generation of active sites in the membrane and that when carrying out the synthesis of TiO2 on the membrane, it can be anchored stably on its surface and through the pores. The microscopies indicate that the structure of the membrane is not compromised by the pretreatment. The amount of TiO2 deposited on the membrane was of 0.1580 ± 0.01773 mg TiO2/cm2 membrane. With this amount of TiO2, a degradation percentage of 98.2% is achieved after 450 min; when the membrane is used for a second cycle, a degradation percentage of 82.0% is obtained, which remains constant for 3 subsequent cycles. This method, which uses the PVDF membrane as a support for TiO2 particles, represents a low-cost and easy-to-prepare insertion procedure, with good degradation percentages, which means that the membrane can be used for subsequent studies in filtration systems in the treatment of effluents from the textile industry.

Abstract
While laccase oxidation is a novel and promising method for treating arsenite-containing wastewater, the high cost and unsustainability of commercially available enzymes indicate a need to investigate more cost-effective viable alternatives. Here, a microorganism sustained secrete laccase-straw oxidation system (MLOS) was established and subsequently evaluated for the removal of As(III). MLOS showed efficient biological As(III) oxidation, with an As(III) removal efficiency reaching 99.9% at an initial As(III) concentration of 1.0 mg·L-1. IC-AFS and XPS analysis showed that As(III) was partially oxidized to As(V), and partially As(III) adsorbed on the surface of rice straw. FTIR analysis revealed that hydroxyl, amine and amide groups were all involved in the As(III) removal process. SEM-EDS demonstrated that the surface structure of rice straw was destroyed following Comamonas testosteroni FJ17 (C. testosteroni FJ17) treatment, and the metal ions binding sites of rice straw were increased resulting in elemental arsenic being detected on the material surface. Molecular docking revealed the interaction between key residues of laccase and As(III). Laccase activity was negatively correlated with Cu(II) concentration in the As(III) oxidation. EEM showed that humic-like acids were also involved in the interaction with As(III). Overall, a MLOS derived from biomass waste has a significant potential to be developed as a green and sustainable technology for the treatment of wastewater containing As(III).

Abstract
Exposure to different arsenic concentrations (higher than 10 μg/L), either due to the direct consumption of contaminated drinking water or indirectly by using contaminated food is harmful for human health. Therefore, it is important to remove arsenic from aqueous solutions. Among many arsenic removal technologies, adsorption offers a promising solution with a good efficiency, however the material used as adsorbent play a very vital role. The present investigation evaluated the behavior of two cellulose-based adsorbent materials, i.e., viscose fibers (V) and its TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) derivative, obtained by using the well-established TEMPO-mediated protocol (VF). Due to the known arsenic affinity for Fe ions the two materials were later doped with it. This was done after a preliminary functionalization with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (DEHPA), to obtain two materials: V-DEHPA-Fe and VF-DEHPA-Fe. Arsenic adsorption is known to be pH dependent (between 6 and 8); therefore, the optimal pH range for As(V) adsorption has been established. In order to evaluate the adsorption mechanism for both the synthesized materials, the influence of contact time, temperature and initial concentration was evaluated. Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips equilibrium isotherm models were used in order to determine the ability of the model to describe As(V) adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity of the material V-DEHPA-Fe was 247.5 µg As(V)/g with an As(V) initial concentration of 5 mg/L and for the material VF-DEHPA-Fe it was 171.2 µg As(V)/g with initial concentration of 5 mg/L.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in aqueous system has attracted global attention due to the toxicity and carcinogenicity effects towards living bodies. Among available removal techniques, adsorptive removal by nanosized materials such as metal oxide, metal organic frameworks, zeolite and carbon-based materials has attracted much attention due to the large active surface area, large number of functional groups, high chemical and thermal stability which led to outstanding adsorption performance. However, the usage of nanosized materials is restricted by the difficulty in separating the spent adsorbent from aqueous solution. The shift towards the use of adsorptive composite membrane for heavy metal ions removal has attracted much attention due to the synergistic properties of adsorption and filtration approaches in a same chamber. Thus, this review critically discusses the development of nanoadsorbents and adsorptive nanocomposite membranes for heavy metal removal over the last decade. The adsorption mechanism of heavy metal ions by the advanced nanoadsorbents is also discussed using kinetic and isotherm models. The challenges and future prospect of adsorptive membrane technology for heavy metal removal is presented at the end of this review.

Abstract
In this study, chitosan and bio-based substances (BBS) obtained from composted biowaste were used as stabilizers for the synthesis of magnet-sensitive nanoparticles (NPs) via coprecipitation method. A pyrolysis treatment was carried out on both biopolymers at 550°C, and their consequent conversion into a carbon matrix was followed by means of different physicochemical characterization techniques (mainly FTIR spectroscopy and XRD), whereas magnetic properties were evaluated by magnetization curves. The prepared materials were tested in water remediation processes from arsenic (As) species (both inorganic and organic forms). These tests, explained by means of the most common adsorption models, evidenced that the best performances were reached by both materials obtained after pyrolysis treatments, pointing out the promising application of such magnet-sensitive materials as easy-recoverable tools for water purification treatments.
