Abstract
Recycling gold from electronic waste offers significant benefits for both environmental protection and resource sustainability. However, this process presents considerable challenges due to high costs, prolonged processing times, and interference from coexisting metals. In this study, we synthesized a hybrid mesoporous nanocomposite comprising platelets-like CoNi2S4 incorporated with g-C3N4 nanosheets (CoNi2S4@g-C3N4) for the selective recovery of gold (Au(iii)) ions from spent computer motherboards. Comprehensive characterization of the CoNi2S4@g-C3N4 nanocomposite was conducted, including its physicochemical properties, textural and structural characteristics, morphology, and elemental composition. The CoNi2S4@g-C3N4 extractor demonstrated an exceptional adsorption capacity of 200.6 mg g-1, with high selectivity at pH 2, rapid equilibrium time of 60 minutes, and satisfactory reusability for over ten cycles. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies revealed that the CoNi2S4@g-C3N4 nanocomposite adheres to the Langmuir adsorption model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for Au(iii) ion adsorption. Overall, this study introduces a viable adsorbent that shows considerable promise for industrial-scale Au(iii) extraction from e-waste.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2391. [PMID: 38793458 PMCID: PMC11122749 DOI: 10.3390/ma17102391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The development of an advanced dye adsorbent that possesses a range of beneficial characteristics, such as high adsorption capacity, swift adsorption kinetics, selective adsorption capability, and robust reusability, remains a challenge. This study introduces a facile method for fabricating an amine-rich porous adsorbent (ARPA), which is specifically engineered for the adsorptive removal of anionic dyes from aqueous solutions. Through a comprehensive assessment, we have evaluated the adsorption performance of ARPA using two benchmark dyes: amaranth (ART) and tartrazine (TTZ). Our findings indicate that the adsorption process reaches equilibrium in a remarkably short timeframe of just 20 min, and it exhibits an excellent correlation with both the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, ARPA has demonstrated an exceptional maximum adsorption capacity, with values of 675.68 mg g-1 for ART and 534.76 mg g-1 for TTZ. In addition to its high adsorption capacity, ARPA has also shown remarkable selectivity, as evidenced by its ability to selectively adsorb TTZ from a mixed dye solution, a feature that is highly desirable for practical applications. Beyond its impressive adsorption capabilities, ARPA can be efficiently regenerated and recycled. It maintains a high level of original removal efficiency for both ART (76.8%) and TTZ (78.9%) even after five consecutive cycles of adsorption and desorption. Considering the simplicity of its synthesis and its outstanding adsorption performance, ARPA emerges as a highly promising material for use in dye removal applications. Consequently, this paper presents a straightforward and feasible method for the production of an effective dye adsorbent for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Nuclear power plays a pivotal role in the global energy supply. The adsorption-based extraction of uranium from seawater is crucial for the rapid advancement of nuclear power. The phosphorus nitride imide (PN) nanotubes were synthesized in this study using a solvothermal method, resulting in chemically stable cross-linked tubular hollow structures that draw inspiration from the intricate snowflake fractal pattern. Detailed characterization showed that these nanotubes possess a uniformly distributed five-coordinated nanopocket, which exhibited great selectivity and efficiency in binding uranium. PN nanotubes captured 97.34% uranium from the low U-spiked natural seawater (∼355 μg L-1) and showed a high adsorption capacity (435.58 mg g-1), along with a distribution coefficient, KdU > 8.71 × 107 mL g-1. In addition, PN nanotubes showed a high adsorption capacity of 7.01 mg g-1 in natural seawater. The facile and scalable production of PN nanotubes presented in this study holds implications for advancing their large-scale implementation in the selective extraction of uranium from seawater.

Abstract
The extraordinary accumulation of cyanide ions within biological cells is a severe health risk. Detecting and tracking toxic cyanide ions within these cells by simple and ultrasensitive methodologies are of immense curiosity. Here, continuous tracking of ultimate levels of CN--ions in HeLa cells was reported employing biocompatible branching molecular architectures (BMAs). These BMAs were engineered by decorating colorant-laden dendritic branch within and around the molecular building hollows of the geode-shelled nanorods of organic-inorganic Al-frameworks. Batch-contact methods were utilized to assess the potential of hollow-nest architecture for inhibition/evaluation of toxicant CN--ions within HeLa cells. The nanorod BMAs revealed significant potential capabilities in monitoring and tracking of CN- ions (88 parts per trillion) in biological trials within seconds. These results demonstrated sufficient evidence for the compatibility of BMAs during HeLa cell exposure. Under specific conditions, the BMAs were utilized for in-vitro fluorescence tracking/sensing of CN- in HeLa cells. The cliff swallow nest with massive mouths may have the potential to reduce the health hazards associated with toxicant exposure in biological cells.

Abstract
In this study, gold-reduced graphene oxide (Au@rGO) nanocomposite has been synthesized by repurposing electronic waste and dry batteries. This innovative approach involved utilizing the graphite rod from dry batteries to produce reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which was subsequently modified through the incorporation of gold nanoparticles obtained from recycled electronic waste. This methodology marks a significant breakthrough in electronic waste recycling, presenting a cost-effective and sustainable means of creating novel nanocomposites for applications in photocatalysis and adsorption, particularly in the removal of crystal violet (CV) from aqueous media. The synthesized Au@rGO nanocomposite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersed X-ray, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Parameters that affect the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of CV dye have been studied in detail. The optimal conditions for CV adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were pH of 10, equilibrium time of 30 min, CV concentration of 10 mg/L and adsorbent dosage of 40 mg. Furthermore, the isotherm and kinetics of CV removal were also studied. The removal of CV dye using adsorption and photocatalytic degradation techniques reached 95% and 99%, respectively. Consequently, the results showed that photocatalytic degradation of CV dye onto the mesoporous Au@rGO nanocomposite is more proper way than the adsorption technique for removing the CV dye from aqueous media. The designed photocatalyst has high efficiency and it can be reused and activated several times so it can be used in real water treatment applications.

Abstract
A novel epichlorohydrin and thiourea grafted porous alginate adsorbent (UA-Ca/IIP) was synthesized using ion-imprinting and direct templating to remove copper ions (Cu(II)) and tetracycline (TC) in aqueous solution. UA-Ca/IIP demonstrated great selectivity for Cu(II) and TC among different coexisting anions (CO32-, PO43- and SO42-), cations (Ca2+, Mg2+ and NH4+), and antibiotics (oxytetracycline and sulfamethoxazole). The adsorption of TC and Cu(II) by UA-Ca/IIP was significantly affected by the pH of the solution, and the quantity of TC and Cu(II) adsorbed reached a maximum at pH 5. A pseudo-second-order model better fitted the kinetic data; the Langmuir model predicted the maximum adsorption quantities 3.527 mmol TC g-1 and 4.478 mmol Cu(II) g-1 at 298 K. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the TC and Cu(II) adsorption was more rapid at a higher temperature. Antagonistic and synergistic adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption capacity of TC would increase significantly with the increase of Cu(II) concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that along with the influence of pH, electrostatic interaction and complexation were the main mechanisms of TC and Cu(II) adsorption. Regeneration experiments revealed that TC and Cu(II) were removed efficiently and that UA-Ca/IIP was recyclable over the long term. These results show that the modified porous alginate microsphere is a green and recyclable adsorbent, which has good selectivity and high adsorption performance for the removal of TC and Cu(II).

Abstract
The need to get uranium out of leaching liquid is pushing scientists to come up with new sorbents. This study uses the wet technique to improve the U(VI) sorption properties of ZrO2/chitosan composite sorbent. To validate the synthesis of ZrO2/CS composite with Zirconyl-OH, -NH, and -NH2 for U(VI) binding, XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, and BET are used to describe the ZrO2/chitosan wholly formed. To get El Sela leaching liquid, it used 150 g/L H2SO4, 1:4 S:L ratio, 200 rpm agitation speed, four hours of leaching period, and particle size 149–100 µm. In a batch study, the sorption parameters are evaluated at pH 3.5, 50 min of sorbing time, 50 mL of leaching liquid (200 mg/L U(VI)), and 25 °C. The sorption capability is 175 mg/g. Reusing ZrO2/CS for seven cycles with a slight drop in performance is highly efficient, with U(VI) desorption using 0.8 M acid and 75 min of desorption time. The selective U(VI) recovery from El Sela leachate was made possible using ZrO2/CS. Sodium diuranate was precipitated and yielded a yellow cake with a purity level of 94.88%.

Abstract
The jeopardy of the synthetic dyes effluents on human health and the environment has swiftly aggravated, threatening human survival. Hence, sustained studies have figured out the most acceptable way to eliminate this poisonous contaminant. Thereby, our investigation aimed to fabricate montmorillonite/magnetic NiFe2O4@amine-functionalized chitosan (MMT-mAmCs) composite as a promising green adsorbent to remove the cationic methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from the wastewater in neutral conditions. Interestingly, MMT-mAmCs composite carries high negative charges at a wide pH range from 4 to 11 as clarified from zeta potential measurements, asserting its suitability to adsorb the cationic contaminants. In addition, the experimental study confirmed that the optimum pH to adsorb both MB and CV was pH 7, inferring the ability of MMT-mAmCs to adsorb both cationic dyes in simple process conditions. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic behavior of the MMT-mAmCs composite is additional merit to our adsorbent that provides facile, fast, and flawless separation. Notably, the as-fabricated composite revealed an auspicious adsorbability towards the adsorptive removal of MB and CV, since the maximum adsorption capacity of MB and CV were 137 and 118 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the isotherm and kinetic investigatins depicted that the adsorption of both cationic dyes fitted Langmuir and Pseudo 2nd order models, respectively. Besides, the advanced adsorbent preserved satisfactory adsorption characteristics with maximal removal efficacy exceeding 87% after reuse for ten consecutive cycles. More importantly, MMT-mAmCs efficiently adsorbed MB and CV from real agricultural water, Nile river water and wastewater samples at the neutral pH medium, reflecting its potentiality to be a superb reusable candidate for adsorptive removal cationic pollutants from their aquatic media.

Abstract
This research aimed to develop a novel composite as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of nitrate ion from aqueous solutions. The characterization of this composite (composition of red mud with dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDAB)) was performed by XRF, XRD, FTIR, and BET analyses. The most influential variables on nitrate adsorption, including contact time, solution acidity, adsorbent amount, and temperature were studied. The maximum amount of nitrate adsorbed onto the prepared adsorbent was obtained at pH 5.5 and contact time 30 min. The heterogeneous adsorption occurred during the uptake of nitrate. The results of kinetic study revealed that intra-particle diffusion was the major limitation for nitrate adsorption rate. The values of thermodynamic parameters illustrate the non-spontaneous, associative, and exothermic adsorption process. Increasing the temperature enhances the tendency of the process to non-spontaneously. Research on fixed-bed column has been done under different initial nitrate concentrations. The adsorption capacity of nitrate was increased with an increase in the initial concentration of nitrate. The results of column data were successfully explained using the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models.

Abstract
Selective fluorometric detection and determination of uranium ions is provided here using a novel fluorescent reagent, namely (E)-4-([4-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl]diazenyl)-N-(5-methyleisoxazol-3-yl) benzenesulfonamide (UVI reagent). The UVI reagent offers a selective fluorescence enhancement behaviour at emission wavelength = 557 nm. The parameters affecting fluorometric detection of uranium ions, such as the pH, solvent type, ligand concentration, interaction time, and interfering ions, were investigated and adjusted. The proposed UVI reagent can detect and determine uranium ions even at low concentrations, for which the obtained limit of detection was 0.1 ppm. Additionally, this proposed determination protocol was successfully used to detect, monitor, and determine uranium ions in actual water samples.

Abstract
Since the cyanide ion is used in a wide range of industries and is harmful to both human health and the environment, a number of research efforts are dedicated to creating fluorescence sensors for the detection of cyanide (CN-). Herein, for the fluorescence detection of CN-, a new highly selective and sensitive sensor 2-(3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (BID) was created by conjugating a benzothiazole moiety with 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione. The donor and acceptor components of this hybrid receptor were covalently connected through a double bond. The nucleophilic addition of a cyanide anion to the BID inhibits the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition, resulting in spectral and colour alterations in the receptor. When the solvent polarity was increased from n-hexane to methanol, this molecule exhibited a bathochromic shift in the emission wavelength (610 to 632 nm), suggesting the presence of a solvatochromic action. The sensor BID has shown strong specificity towards CN- by interrupting its internal charge transfer (ICT), resulting in a significant change in the UV-vis spectrum and a notable blue shift in the fluorescence emission spectrum. The cyanide anion (CN-) is responsible for the optical alterations observed by BID, as opposed to the other anions examined. The detection limit was 5.97 nM, significantly less than the WHO's permitted amount of CN- in drinking water. The experimental findings indicate that BID's fluorescence response to CN- is pH insensitive throughout a wide pH range of 6.0 to 12.0. The interaction mechanism between the BID and CN- ions has been studied by HRMS, 1H-NMR titration experiments, FT-IR, and DFT, which confirmed the nucleophilic addition of CN- on vinylidene and subsequent disturbance of ICT. Additionally, we demonstrated the real-time detection application of CN- in environmental water samples and live-cell imaging.

Abstract
A new sorbent cetylpyridinium bromide/polyvinylchloride (CPB/PVC) was prepared and tested to extract rare earth elements (REEs) from their chloride solutions. It was identified by FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDX, and XRD. The impact of various factors such as pH, RE ion initial concentration, contacting time, and dose amount via sorption process was inspected. The optimum pH was 6.0, and the equilibrium contact time was reached at 60 min at 25 °C. The prepared adsorbent (CPB/PVC) uptake capacity was 182.6 mg/g. The adsorption of RE ions onto the CPB/PVC sorbent was found to fit the Langmuir isotherm as well as pseudo-second-order models well. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters of RE ion sorption were found to be exothermic and spontaneous. The desorption of RE ions from the loaded CPB/PVC sorbent was investigated. It was observed that the optimum desorption was achieved at 1.0 M HCl for 60 min contact time at ambient room temperature and a 1:60 solid: liquid phase ratio (S:L). As a result, the prepared CPB/PVC sorbent was recognized as a competitor sorbent for REEs.

Abstract
The Hummer process is applied to generate graphene oxide from carbon stocks’ discharged Zn-C batteries waste. SiO2 is produced from rice husks through the wet process. Subsequently, SiO2 reacted with graphene oxide to form silica/graphene oxide (SiO2/GO) as a sorbent material. XRD, BET, SEM, EDX, and FTIR were employed to characterize SiO2/GO. Factors affecting U(VI) sorption on SiO2/GO, including pH, sorption time, a dosage of SiO2/GO, U(VI) ions’ concentration, and temperature, were considered. The experimental data consequences indicated that the uptake capacity of SiO2/GO towards U(VI) is 145.0 mg/g at a pH value of 4.0. The kinetic calculations match the pseudo second-order model quite well. Moreover, the sorption isotherm is consistent with the Langmuir model. The sorption procedures occur spontaneously and randomly, as well as exothermically. Moreover, SiO2/GO has essentially regenerated with a 0.8 M H2SO4 and 1:50 S:L phase ratio after 60 min of agitation time. Lastly, the sorption and elution were employed in seven cycles to check the persistent usage of SiO2/GO.

Rare Earth Group Separation after Extraction Using Sodium Diethyldithiocarbsamate/Polyvinyl Chloride from Lamprophyre Dykes Leachate. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15031211. [PMID: 35161155 PMCID: PMC8839727 DOI: 10.3390/ma15031211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This study presents the first application of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate/polyvinyl chloride (DdTC/PVC) as a novel adsorbent for rare earth element (REE) sorption from leach liquors. DdTC/PVC has higher adsorption properties than other sorbents, the synthesis of DdTC/PVC is more accessible than other resins, and it is considered a more affordable sorbent. The three-liquid-phase extraction technique (TLPE) was applied to separate REEs into light, middle, and heavy rare earth elements as groups. The TLPE is an excellent achievable technique in the separation of REEs. DdTC/PVC was prepared as a sorbent to sorb rare-earth ions in chloride solution. It was described by XRD, SEM, TGA, and FTIR. The factors pH, initial rare-earth ion concentration, contact time, and DdTC/PVC dose were also analyzed. The ideal pH was 5.5, and the ideal equilibration time was found to be 45 min. The rare-earth ion uptake on DdTC/PVC was 156.2 mg/g. The rare-earth ion sorption on DdTC/PVC was fitted to Langmuir and pseudo-2nd-order models. The rare-earth ions’ thermodynamic adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic. In addition, rare-earth ion desorption from the loaded DdTC/PVC was scrutinized using 1 M HCl, 45 min time of contact, and a 1:60 S:L phase ratio. The obtained rare earth oxalate concentrate was utilized after dissolving it in HCl to extract and separate the RE ions into three groups—light (La, Ce, Nd, and Sm), middle (Gd, Ho, and Er), and heavy (Yb, Lu, and Y)—via three-liquid-phase extraction (TLPE). This technique is simple and suitable for extracting REEs.

Abstract
FeS nanoparticles were easily aggregated and oxidized in the natural environment. It was important to stabilize the iron sulfide nanoparticle composite with a stabilizer. Biochar could be used as an effective carrier to inhibit the agglomeration and oxidization of FeS nanoparticles. An efficient and novel bio-adsorbent (CFeS-WS) from walnut shell (WS) and cellulose composites-stabilized iron sulfide nanoparticle was synthesized by the modified method. The removal of U(vi) ions from an aqueous solution by CFeS-WS was carried out. The experimental results indicated that numerous functional groups were observed on the surface of CFeS-WS. In addition, the biochar was loaded successfully with cellulose and FeS nanoparticle composites. The cellulose and biochar effectively prevented the agglomeration of FeS nanoparticles. The adsorption process of U(vi) ions by CFeS-WS was more consistent with the pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption process of U(vi) ions was an endothermic and chemical reaction process. The proposed reaction mechanism of the U(vi) ion removal by CFeS-WS mainly consisted of the ion exchange reaction, reduction reaction, hydrogen bonding and functional group, and pore of the adsorbent filling. According to the results of the recycle experiment, it indicated that the chemical stability of CFeS-WS was good.
