Abstract
Environmental pollution poses a critical global challenge, and traditional wastewater treatment methods often prove inadequate in addressing the complexity and scale of this issue. On the other hand, microalgae exhibit diverse metabolic capabilities that enable them to remediate a wide range of pollutants, including heavy metals, organic contaminants, and excess nutrients. By leveraging the unique metabolic pathways of microalgae, innovative strategies can be developed to effectively remediate polluted environments. Therefore, this review paper highlights the potential of microalgae-mediated bioremediation as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional methods. It also highlights the advantages of utilizing microalgae and algae-bacteria co-cultures for large-scale bioremediation applications, demonstrating impressive biomass production rates and enhanced pollutant removal efficiency. The promising potential of microalgae-mediated bioremediation is emphasized, presenting a viable and innovative alternative to traditional treatment methods in addressing the global challenge of environmental pollution. This review identifies the opportunities and challenges for microalgae-based technology and proposed suggestions for future studies to tackle challenges. The findings of this review advance our understanding of the potential of microalgae-based technology wastewater treatment.

Integration of metal organic framework nanoparticles into sodium alginate biopolymer-based three-dimensional membrane capsules for the efficient removal of toxic metal cations from water and real sewage. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131312. [PMID: 38582471 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Sodium alginate (SA) biopolymer has been recognized as an efficient adsorbent material owing to their unique characteristics, including biodegradability, non-toxic nature, and presence of abundant hydrophilic functional groups. Accordingly, in the current research work, UiO-66-OH and UiO-66-(OH)2 metal organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) have been integrated into SA biopolymer-based three-dimensional (3-D) membrane capsules (MCs) via a simple and facile approach to remove toxic metal cations (Cu2+ and Cd2+) from water and real sewage. The newly configured capsules were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, EDX and XPS analyses techniques. Exceptional sorption properties of the as-developed capsules were ensured by evaluation of the pertinent operational parameters, i.e., contents of MOF-NPs (1-100 wt%), adsorbent dosage (0.001-0.05 g), content time (0-360 h), pH (1-8), initial concentration of metal cations (5-1000 mg/L) and reaction temperature (298.15-333.15 K) on the eradication of Cu2+ and Cd2+ metal cations. It was found that hydrophilic functional groups (-OH and -COOH) have performed an imperative role in the smooth loading of MOF-NPs into 3-D membrane capsules via intra/inter-molecular hydrogen bonding and van der waals potencies. The maximum monolayer uptake capacities (as calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model) of Cd2+ and Cu2+ by 3-D SGMMCs-OH were 940 and 1150 mg/g, respectively, and by 3-D SGMMCs-(OH)2 were 1375 and 1575 mg/g, respectively, under optimum conditions. The as-developed capsules have demonstrated superior selectivity against targeted metal cations under designated pH and maintained >80 % removal efficiency up to six consecutive treatment cycles. Removal mechanisms of metal cations by the 3-D SGMMCs-OH/(OH)2 was proposed, and electrostatic interaction, ion-exchange, inner-sphere coordination bonds/interactions, and aromatic ligands exchange were observed to be the key removal mechanisms. Notably, FTIR and XPS analysis indicated that hydroxyl groups of Zr-OH and BDC-OH/(OH)2 aromatic linkers played vital roles in Cu2+ and Cd2+ adsorption by participating in inner-sphere coordination interactions and aromatic ligands exchange mechanisms. The as-prepared capsules indicated >70 % removal efficiency of Cu2+ from real electroplating wastewater in the manifestation of other competitive metal ions and pollutants under selected experimental conditions. Thus, it was observed that newly configured 3-D SGMMCs-OH/(OH)2 have offered a valuable discernment into the development of MOFs-based water decontamination 3-D capsules for industrial applications.

Biogenic synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon dots using Azadirachta indica leaves: An eco-friendly approach with enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiency towards Malachite green. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 341:139946. [PMID: 37640216 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
A simpler and efficient method has been developed for the green synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) from Azadirachta Indica leaves. The surface morphology of developed CDs has shown the existence of spherical particles in the size range of 3-8 nm with superior biocompatibility and high quantum yield value i.e. 42.3%. The particles exhibited a highly fluorescent and crystalline nature along with a bandgap value of 4.02 eV. The prepared CDs served as a factorial design for the sensing and degradation of Malachite green among other dyes. The main perspective of the current finding is that the designed catalyst exhibits excellent sensing results towards Malachite green with a limit of detection i.e. 0.144 μM in the concentration range of 0-50 μM. Moreover, the UV triggered results of photocatalysis illustrated a good dye removal efficacy by developed CDs with an average of 90.73, 98.25, 52 and 6.13% degradation in Methylene blue (MB), Malachite green (MG), Rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G) and Methyl orange (MO) upon 70 min of irradiation with mercury lamp. Additionally, the proton NMR, FTIR and FESEM results of the recycled samples also confirm the complete degradation of MG dye with the application of N-CDs.

Abstract
Water contamination can be detrimental to the human health due to higher concentration of carcinogenic heavy metals such as chromium (Cr) in the wastewater. Many traditional methods are being employed in wastewater treatment plants for Cr removal to control the environmental impacts. Such methods include ion exchange, coagulation, membrane filtration, and chemical precipitation and microbial degradation. Recent advances in materials science and green chemistry have led to the development of nanomaterial that possess high specific surface areas and multiple functions, making them suitable for removing metals such as Cr from wastewater. Literature shows that the most efficient, effective, clean, and long-lasting approach for removing heavy metals from wastewater involves adsorbing heavy metals onto the surface of nanomaterial. This review assesses the removal methods of Cr from wastewater, advantages and disadvantages of using nanomaterial to remove Cr from wastewater and potential negative impacts on human health. The latest trends and developments in Cr removal strategies using nanomaterial adsorption are also explored in the present review.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn), as a cofactor of multiple enzymes, exhibits great significance to the human body, plants and animals. It is also a critical raw material and alloying element. However, extensive employment for industrial purposes leads to its excessive emission into the environment and turns into a significant threat to the ecosystem and public health. This review firstly introduces the essentiality, toxicity and regulation of Mn. Several traditional physicochemical methods and their problems are briefly discussed as well. Biological remediation, especially microorganism-mediated strategies, is a potential alternative for remediating Mn-polluted environments in a cost-efficient and eco-friendly manner. Among them, microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), biosorption, bioaccumulation, bio-oxidation are discussed in detail, including their mechanisms, pivotal influencing factors along with strengths and limitations. In order to promote bioremediation efficiency, the combination of different techniques is preferable, and their research progress is also summarized. Finally, we propose the future directions of Mn bioremediation by microbes. Conclusively, this review provides a scientific basis for the microbial remediation performance for Mn pollution and guides the development of a comprehensive competent strategy towards practical Mn remediation.

Abstract
The production of biogenic palladium nanoparticles (bio-Pd NPs) is widely studied due to their high catalytic activity, which depends on the size of nanoparticles (NPs). Smaller NPs (here defined as <100 nm) are more efficient due to their higher surface/volume ratio. In this work, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), flow cytometry (FCM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were combined to obtain insight into the formation of these bio-Pd NPs. The precipitation of bio-Pd NPs was evaluated on a cell-per-cell basis using single-cell ICP-MS (SC-ICP-MS) combined with TEM images to assess how homogenously the particles were distributed over the cells. The results provided by SC-ICP-MS were consistent with those provided by "bulk" ICP-MS analysis and FCM. It was observed that heterogeneity in the distribution of palladium over an entire cell population is strongly dependent on the Pd2+ concentration, biomass and partial H2 pressure. The latter three parameters affected the particle size, ranging from 15.6 to 560 nm, and exerted a significant impact on the production of the bio-Pd NPs. The TEM combined with SC-ICP-MS revealed that the mass distribution for bacteria with high Pd content (144 fg Pd cell-1 ) indicated the presence of a large number of very small NPs (D50 = 15.6 nm). These results were obtained at high cell density (1 × 105 ± 3 × 104 cells μl-1 ) and H2 partial pressure (180 ml H2 ). In contrast, very large particles (D50 = 560 nm) were observed at low cell density (3 × 104 ± 10 × 102 cells μl-1 ) and H2 partial pressure (10-100 ml H2 ). The influence of the H2 partial pressure on the nanoparticle size and the possibility of size-tuned nanoparticles are presented.

Abstract
Selenium (SeNPs) and tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) were synthesized by green technology using the three new bacterial marine isolates (strains PL 2476, AF 2469 and G 2451). Isolates were classified as Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis according to 16S rRNA sequence analysis, morphological characteristics, and biochemical reactions. The bioreduction processes of isolates were studied in comparison with the previously described Alteromonas macleodii (strain 2328). All strains exhibited significant tolerance to selenite and tellurite up to 1000 µg/mL. A comparative analysis of the bioreduction processes of the isolates demonstrated that the strains have a high rate of reduction processes. Characterization of biogenic red SeNPs and black TeNPs using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDX analysis, Dynamic Light Scattering, and micro-Raman Spectroscopy revealed that all the isolates form stable spherical selenium and tellurium nanoparticles whose size as well as elemental composition depend on the producer strain. Nanoparticles of the smallest size (up to 100 nm) were observed only for strain PL 2476. Biogenic SeNPs and TeNPs were also characterized and tested for their antimicrobial, antifouling and cytotoxic activities. Significant antimicrobial activity was shown for nanoparticles at relatively high concentrations (500 and 1000 µg/mL), with the antimicrobial activity of TeNPs being more significant than SeNPs. In contrast, against cell cultures (breast cancer cells (SkBr3) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) SeNPs showed greater toxicity than tellurium nanoparticles. Studies have demonstrated the high antifouling effectiveness of selenium and tellurium nanoparticles when introduced into self-polishing coatings. According to the results obtained, the use of SeNPs and TeNPs as antifouling additives can reduce the concentration of leachable biocides used in coatings, reducing the pressure on the environment.

Abstract
Increasing wastewater pollution owing to the briskly rising human population, rapid industrialization, and fast urbanization has necessitated highly efficient wastewater treatment technologies. Although several methods of wastewater treatments are in practice, expensiveness, use of noxious chemicals, generation of unsafe by-products, and longer time consumption restrain their use to a great extent. Over the last few decades, nanotechnological wastewater treatment approaches have received widespread recognition globally. Microbially fabricated nanoparticles reduce the utilization of reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents, and exhibit higher adsorptive and catalytic efficiency than chemically synthesized nanomaterials. The present review comprehensively summarizes the applications of microbial nanotechnology in the removal of a wide range of noxious wastewater pollutants. Moreover, prospects and challenges associated with the integration of nanotechnology with other biological treatment technologies including algal-membrane bioreactor, aerobic digestion, microbial fuel cells, and microbial nanofiber webs have also been briefly discussed.

Abstract
Magnetosomes intracellularly biomineralized by Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are membrane-enveloped nanoparticles of the magnetic minerals magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4). MTB thrive in oxic-anoxic interface and exhibit magnetotaxis due to the presence of magnetosomes. Because of the unique characteristic and bionavigation inspiration of magnetosomes, MTB has been a subject of study focused on by biologists, medical pharmacologists, geologists, and physicists since the discovery. We herein first briefly review the features of MTB and magnetosomes. The recent insights into the process and mechanism for magnetosome biomineralization including iron uptake, magnetosome membrane invagination, iron mineralization and magnetosome chain assembly are summarized in detail. Additionally, the current research progress in biotechnological applications of magnetosomes is also elucidated, such as drug delivery, MRI image contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, wastewater treatment, and cell separation. This review would expand our understanding of biomineralization and biotechnological applications of bacterial magnetosomes.

Abstract
The binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to humic acid (HA) can boost the complexation–flocculation process and promote pollutant oxidation through the role of HA as an electron shuttle. HA-coated biochar (BA) was added to study the effects of HA on phenanthrene (PHE) removal by constructed wetlands (CWs) using birnessite as a substrate. HA reduced the average PHE concentration of effluent by 26.58% due to its role as a complexing agent, based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. For CWs with birnessite, the PHE removal performance was further enhanced due to the role of electron shuttles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and illumina high-throughput analysis revealed an enhanced Mn–Fe cycle. The total relative proportions of Mn-oxidizing bacteria and iron-oxidizing bacteria in VFBCW-HA/BA were 2.33 and 5.50 times as high as those in VFBCW-BA and VFCW-HA/BA. Humic acid also accelerated the biodegradation of PAHs and the quantity of PAH degradative bacteria in VFBCW-HA/BA was 6.29 times greater than in VFBCW-BA. An enhanced birnessite constructed wetland for phenanthrene removal is proposed based on HA coated biochar and the strengthening mechanism is reported.![]()

Abstract
Noble-metal electrocatalysts supported by biological-organism-derived carbons have attracted attention from the public due to the growing demands for green synthesis and environmental protection. Carbonization at high temperatures and hydrogen reduction are critical steps in this technical route. Herein, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 were used as precursors, and the effects of the hydrogen-reduction procedure on catalysts were explored. The results showed that the performances of FHTG (carbonization followed by hydrogen reduction) displayed the best performance. Its ECSA (electrochemical surface area), MA (mass activity), and SA (specific activity) reached 35.01 m2 g−1, 58.39 A·g−1, and 1.66 A cm−2, respectively, which were 1.17, 1.75, and 1.50 times that of PHTG (prepared through hydrogen reduction followed by carbonization) and 1.56, 2.26, and 1.44 times that of DHTG (double hydrogen reduction). The high performance could be attributed to its fine particle size and rich N content, and the specific regulation mechanism was also proposed in this paper. This study opens a practical guide for effectively avoiding particle agglomeration during the fabrication process for catalysts.

Abstract
This work tested the antimicrobial activity of three different biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Escherichia coli (E. coli) for water disinfection processes. The influence of different AgNP capping or stabilizing agents (e.g., protein or carbohydrate capped) and the use of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the disinfection process were also assessed. The use of UV radiation was found to enhance the antimicrobial effects of AgNPs on E. coli. The antibacterial effects of AgNPs depended on the type of the capping biomolecules. Protein-capped nanoparticles showed greater antimicrobial effects compared with carbohydrate-capped (cellulose nanofibers, CNF) nanoparticles. Those capped with the fungal secretome proteins were the most active in E. coli inactivation. The least E. coli inactivation was observed for CNF-capped AgNPs. The size of the tested AgNPs also showed an expected effect on their anti-E. coli activity, with the smallest particles being the most active. The antimicrobial effects of biogenic AgNPs on E. coli make them an effective, innovative, and eco-friendly alternative for water disinfection processes, which supports further research into their use in developing sustainable water treatment processes.

Antibiotic Resistance in the Drinking Water: Old and New Strategies to Remove Antibiotics, Resistant Bacteria, and Resistance Genes. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15040393.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance is a naturally occurring process. However, bacterial antibiotic resistance has emerged as a major public health problem in recent years. The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment, including in wastewaters and drinking water, has contributed to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Such can be justified by the growing consumption of antibiotics and their inadequate elimination. The conventional water treatments are ineffective in promoting the complete elimination of antibiotics and bacteria, mainly in removing ARGs. Therefore, ARGs can be horizontally transferred to other microorganisms within the aquatic environment, thus promoting the dissemination of antibiotic resistance. In this review, we discuss the efficiency of conventional water treatment processes in removing agents that can spread/stimulate the development of antibiotic resistance and the promising strategies for water remediation, mainly those based on nanotechnology and microalgae. Despite the potential of some of these approaches, the elimination of ARGs remains a challenge that requires further research. Moreover, the development of new processes must avoid the release of new contaminants for the environment, such as the chemicals resulting from nanomaterials synthesis, and consider the utilization of green and eco-friendly alternatives such as biogenic nanomaterials and microalgae-based technologies.

Abstract
Functionalized Fe3O4-SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe-Si-MNPs) coated with hyperbranched polyglycerol polymer were prepared and tested for oil recovery from oil in water (O/W) emulsions. The structure, chemistry, and surface modifications of the newly developed demulsifier (PSiMNPs) were analyzed, and the percentage demulsification efficiency (%ηdem) was tested at differing concentrations of surfactant (Csur), oil (Coil), and demulsifier (DPSiMNPs). The developed PSiMNPs can be separated from the solution by a magnetic field, regenerated using ethanol, and reused several times. The reported %ηdem was ≥80% for all the studied Coil. The %ηdem improved as the Csur and pH decreased, with maximum values of 98.8% and 98.5% achieved at Csur = 0.05 g/L and a pH = 4, respectively. A DPSiMNPs = 100 mg/L was sufficient to achieve %ηdem of 99.4% for Coil = 100 mg/L and slightly decreased to ~93% for Coil ~4000 mg/L. The PSiMNPs can be reused up to 15 times with a steady %ηdem of 89.1% for Coil = 100 mg/L and 88.6% for Coil = 4000 mg/L. The adsorption of oil on the PSiMNPs follows Freundlich isotherm with maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 192.8 g/mg and Langmuir constant (b) of 28.06 mg/L for Coil = 900 mg/L. The qmax of the recycled PSiMNPs slightly decreased to 189.08 g/mg. The kinetic of oil recovery follows the PSO with a K2 of 0.0169 g/mg. min. Surface modification of Fe-Si-MNPs enhanced the oil adsorption, increased the adsorption capacity, and extended the service life resulting in a better cost and process feasibility.

Abstract
The use of food additives (such as dyes, which improve the appearance of the products) has become more prominent, due to the rapid population growth and the increase in demand for beverages and processed foods. The dyes are usually found in effluents that are discharged into the environment without previous treatment; this promotes mass contamination and alters the aquatic environment. In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proven to be effective technologies used for wastewater treatment through the destruction of the total organic content of toxic contaminants, including food dyes. Studies have shown that the introduction of catalysts in AOPs improve treatment efficiency (i.e., complete decomposition without secondary contamination). The present review offers a quick reference for researchers, regarding the treatment of wastewater containing food dyes and the different types of AOPs, with different catalyst and nanocatalyst materials obtained from traditional and green chemical syntheses.

Abstract
As the world human population and industrialization keep growing, the water availability issue has forced scientists, engineers, and legislators of water supply industries to better manage water resources. Pollutant removals from wastewaters are crucial to ensure qualities of available water resources (including natural water bodies or reclaimed waters). Diverse techniques have been developed to deal with water quality concerns. Carbon based nanomaterials, especially carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with their high specific surface area and associated adsorption sites, have drawn a special focus in environmental applications, especially water and wastewater treatment. This critical review summarizes recent developments and adsorption behaviors of CNTs used to remove organics or heavy metal ions from contaminated waters via adsorption and inactivation of biological species associated with CNTs. Foci include CNTs synthesis, purification, and surface modifications or functionalization, followed by their characterization methods and the effect of water chemistry on adsorption capacities and removal mechanisms. Functionalized CNTs have been proven to be promising nanomaterials for the decontamination of waters due to their high adsorption capacity. However, most of the functional CNT applications are limited to lab-scale experiments only. Feasibility of their large-scale/industrial applications with cost-effective ways of synthesis and assessments of their toxicity with better simulating adsorption mechanisms still need to be studied.

Abstract
The increasing world population generates huge amounts of wastewater as well as large energy demand. Additionally, fossil fuel’s combustion for energy production causes the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants. Therefore, there is a strong need to find alternative green approaches for wastewater treatment and energy production. Microalgae biorefineries could represent an effective strategy to mitigate the above problems. Microalgae biorefineries are a sustainable alternative to conventional wastewater treatment processes, as they potentially allow wastewater to be treated at lower costs and with lower energy consumption. Furthermore, they provide an effective means to recover valuable compounds for biofuel production or other applications. This review focuses on the current scenario and future prospects of microalgae biorefineries aimed at combining wastewater treatment with biofuel production. First, the different microalgal cultivation systems are examined, and their main characteristics and limitations are discussed. Then, the technologies available for converting the biomass produced during wastewater treatment into biofuel are critically analyzed. Finally, current challenges and research directions for biofuel production and wastewater treatment through this approach are outlined.

Abstract
Pore size and functionalization are two critical factors for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as effective adsorbents. However, due to the low crystallinity of COFs, it is a grand challenge to accomplish pore diameter adjustment and functionalization at the same time. In this work, we developed a simple and ingenious strategy, cutting off linkage, to synchronously construct hierarchical porosity and modify thiol groups in COFs under mild conditions. The hybrid COFs containing disulfide bonds were designed and synthesized, and then the disulfide bonds were cleaved by glutathione, resulting in the formation of thiol groups as well as the increase in pore size caused by skeleton defects. The pore diameter of thiol-functionalized hierarchical porous COFs (denoted as HP-TpEDA-SH) was concentrated at 2.6 and 3.5 nm. Thanks to the electrostatic attraction of thiol groups to cationic dyes and the higher number of available adsorption sites, the maximum extraction amounts of methylene blue (MB), malachite green (MG), and crystal violet (CV) by HP-TpEDA-SH were 2.6, 2.1, and 3.3 times those of microporous COFs under optimal extraction conditions, respectively. The proposed analytical method (solid-phase extraction-high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet (SPE-HPLC/UV)) with HP-TpEDA-SH as the adsorbent showed low detection limits of 1.3, 0.13, and 0.12 μg·L-1 for MB, MG, and CV, respectively. The recoveries of three spiked water samples ranged from 81.5 to 113.8%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 9.7%. This work not only opened a new avenue for the preparation of functionalized hierarchical porous COFs but also established an effective method for detecting trace cationic dyes in fishery water.

Abstract
Biologically synthesized palladium nanoparticles (bio-Pd) have attracted considerable interest as promising green catalysts for environmental remediation. However, the mechanisms by which microorganisms produce bio-Pd remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the roles of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and its NADH dehydrogenases and hydrogenases (HydA and HyaB) in bio-Pd production using formate as the electron donor. The roles of NADH dehydrogenases and hydrogenases were studied by inhibiting NADH dehydrogenases and using hydrogenase mutants (ΔhydA, ΔhyaB, and ΔhydAΔhyaB), respectively. The results showed ~97% reduction of palladium by S. oneidensis MR-1 after 24 h using 250 μM palladium and 500 μM formate. Electron microscopy images showed the presence of bio-Pd on both the outer and cytoplasmic membranes of S. oneidensis MR-1. However, the inhibition of NADH dehydrogenases in S. oneidensis MR-1 resulted in only ~61% reduction of palladium after 24 h, and bio-Pd were not found on the outer membrane. The mutants lacking one or two hydrogenases removed 91-96% of palladium ions after 24 h and showed more cytoplasmic bio-Pd but less periplasmic bio-Pd. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the role of NADH dehydrogenases of S. oneidensis MR-1 in the formation of bio-Pd on the outer membrane. It also demonstrates that the hydrogenases (especially HyaB) of S. oneidensis MR-1 contribute to the formation of bio-Pd in the periplasmic space. This study provides mechanistic insights into the production of biogenic metal nanoparticles towards their possible use in industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Environmental pollution produced due to direct and untreated release of toxic organic pollutants such as dyes from the textile industries is not only effect the human life but also contaminates the ecosystem through different transferal modes. Green nanomaterials synthesized by using biological reducing agents offer sustainable, economically viable, facile, rapid and eco-friendly approach with photocatalytic degradation efficiencies >90% for organic dyes over the other traditional technologies. Current review has for the first time comprehensively abridged the suitability of green nanoparticles over chemogenic nanoparticles, the remediative role of these biogenic nanoparticles with major emphasis on the recent progressions in the photocatalysis of different toxic dyes and pollutants. Unlike physicochemically processed nanoparticles, biogenic nanoparticles has profound contribution to the sustainable development goals due to their cleaner and economical synthesis in addition to their detoxifying role. Meticulous review of the publications are strongly suggestive of the adoptability of biogenic nanoparticles at an implementation scale for their auspicious remediative role in addition to facile fabrication, natural reducing agents based synthetic mode, toxicity free and sustainable nature. However, the studies are also indicative of the need for utilization of biogenic synthesis at practical scale to derive maximum sustainability and ecological benefits.

Abstract
Microbial bio-transformations of the essential trace element selenium are now recognized to occur among a wide variety of microorganisms. These transformations are used to convert this element into its assimilated form of selenocysteine, which is at the active center of a number of key enzymes, and to produce selenium nanoparticles, quantum dots, metal selenides, and methylated selenium species that are indispensable for biotechnological and bioremediation applications. The focus of this review is to present the state-of-the-art of all aspects of the investigations into the bacterial transformations of selenium species, and to consider the characterization and biotechnological uses of these transformations and their products.

Abstract
The effects of pH, cation valence, and ionic strength (IS) on the stability and aggregation behavior of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were investigated in this study. Results showed that ZnO NPs were most prone to aggregation at the isoelectric point (pH = 8.7), with an aggregation rate (ΔD/Δt) of 30.1. ZnO NPs showed a greater propensity for dissolution at lower pH (pH < 7), and Zn2+ was more rapidly released into the aqueous phase in acidic solutions than neutral or alkaline conditions. The C/C0 of ZnO NPs was about 21.56% and remained stable in acidic solution of pH 4.0. Additionally, slow sedimentation with a C/C0 ratio of 95.0% was observed due to an increase in repulsive interactions between nanoparticles under pH = 10. The effect of cations on the ΔD/Δt of ZnO NPs decreased in strength as follows: Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+ > Na+. High-valence metal cations (Ca2+, Mg2+) were more competitively adsorbed onto the surface of ZnO NPs with a hydrogen atom due to Coulomb's law, increasing the zeta potential and stabilizing the suspension of ZnO NPs at IS < 10 mM. Furthermore, compression of the electric double layer (EDL) became stronger than electrostatic adsorption with increasing IS, reaching a maximum ΔD/Δt of 23.3 (Ca2+, pH = 7, IS = 1 M). The C/C0 ratio of ZnO NPs decreased from 100% to 56.5% (Na+), 52.2% (K+), 45.2% (Mg2+), and 40.1% (Ca2+) at pH = 7 and an IS of 0.5 M. In addition to the cation valence, the hydration forces and ionic radii of the metal cations might be other factors that affected the interactions of metal cations with ZnO NPs. Finally, the total interaction energy between ZnO NPs was calculated using the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theoretical formula, and the calculated results were in agreement with the experimental outcomes under various aquatic environmental conditions.

Abstract
Water resources contamination has a worldwide impact and is a cause of global concern. The need for provision of clean water is becoming more and more demanding. Nanotechnology may support effective strategies for the treatment, use and reuse of water and the development of next-generation water supply systems. The excellent properties and effectiveness of nanomaterials make them particularly suitable for water/wastewater treatment. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the main categories of nanomaterials used in catalytic processes (carbon nanotubes/graphitic carbon nitride (CNT/g-C3N4) composites/graphene-based composites, metal oxides and composites, metal–organic framework and commercially available nanomaterials). These materials have found application in the removal of different categories of pollutants, including pharmaceutically active compounds, personal care products, organic micropollutants, as well as for the disinfection of bacterial, viral and protozoa microbial targets, in water and wastewater matrices. Apart from reviewing the characteristics and efficacy of the aforementioned nanoengineered materials for the removal of different pollutants, we have also recorded performance limitations issues (e.g., toxicity, operating conditions and reuse) for their practical application in water and wastewater treatment on large scale. Research efforts and continuous production are expected to support the development of eco-friendly, economic and efficient nanomaterials for real life applications in the near future.

Abstract
Water shortage is one of the leading global problems along with the depletion of energy resources and environmental deterioration. Recent industrialization, global mobility, and increasing population have adversely affected the freshwater resources. The wastewater sources are categorized as domestic, agricultural and industrial effluents and their disposal into water bodies poses a harmful impact on human and animal health due to the presence of higher amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, heavy metals and other organic/inorganic pollutants. Several conventional treatment methods have been employed, but none of those can be termed as a universal method due to their high cost, less efficiency, and non-environment friendly nature. Alternatively, wastewater treatment using microalgae (phycoremediation) offers several advantages over chemical-based treatment methods. Microalgae cultivation using wastewater offers the highest atmospheric carbon fixation rate (1.83 kg CO2/kg of biomass) and fastest biomass productivity (40-50% higher than terrestrial crops) among all terrestrial bio-remediators with concomitant pollutant removal (80-100%). Moreover, the algal biomass may contain high-value metabolites including omega-3-fatty acids, pigments, amino acids, and high sugar content. Hence, after extraction of high-value compounds, residual biomass can be either directly converted to energy through thermochemical transformation or can be used to produce biofuels through biological fermentation or transesterification. This review highlights the recent advances in microalgal biotechnology to establish a biorefinery approach to treat wastewater. The articulation of wastewater treatment facilities with microalgal biorefinery, the use of microalgal consortia, the possible merits, and demerits of phycoremediation are also discussed. The impact of wastewater-derived nutrient stress and its exploitation to modify the algal metabolite content in view of future concerns of cost-benefit ratios of algal biorefineries is also highlighted.

Abstract
Nanofibers with inorganic nanoparticles are novel hybrid nanocomposites that have great potential in various areas. In the present study, cellulose acetate nanofibers (CA-Nf) loaded with biogenic silver nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles was accomplished using a bacteria free solution as a reducing agent. Nanofibers incorporated with silver nanoparticles were fabricated using the electrospinning technique. Upright microscopy and SEM micrographs depicted that the CA-Nf coatings consist of dense and compact entangled nanofibers that completely cover the copper surface. Corrosion measurements were performed by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques on the bare copper and CA-Nf and CA-Nf_5% AgNp coated copper surfaces in artificial seawater (ASW) and Escherichia coli ATCC 13883 inoculated solutions. Weight loss and electrochemical corrosion test results revealed that the CA-Nf-coated copper had greater corrosion resistance than bare copper. The additional electrospun CA-Nf_5% AgNp coating also had greater antibacterial behavior toward model biofilm bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa than uncoated copper specimens. Therefore, this nanofiber with AgNps was demonstrated as an efficient anticorrosive material in both corrosive and biocorrosive marine solutions. Nanofibers with inorganic nanoparticles are novel hybrid nanocomposites that have great potential in various areas.![]()

Abstract
To treat waste with waste and efficiently remove the organic pollutant, waste palladiums(ii) were adsorbed and reduced on microorganism surface to catalyze the reductive removal of ciprofloxacin in pharmaceutical wastewater. By optimizing conditions such as pH and temperature, the amount of biogenic palladium adsorbed and reduced on E. coli reached 139.48 mg g−1 (Pd/microorganisms). Moreover, most of the Pd(ii) was reduced to nanometer-sized Pd(0) as characterized by TEM and SEM with EDXA. Using the obtained biogenic palladium, the reductive removal of ciprofloxacin is up to 87.70% at 25 °C, 3.03 folds of that achieved in the absence of H2. The results show that waste E. coli microorganisms can efficiently adsorb and remove waste Pd(ii) and produce Bio-Pd nanoparticle catalysts in the presence of H2. This biogenic palladium presents high catalytic activity and great advantages in the reductive degradation of ciprofloxacin. Our method can also be applied to other waste metal ions to prepare the biogenic metals, facilitate their recovery and reuse in degrading organic pollutants in wastewater to achieve “treating waste using waste”. A solution has been successfully introduced to three key challenges from the wastewater containing waste microorganisms, metal and ciprofloxacin, respectively.![]()

Abstract
The different part powders of rape straw as adsorbents were performed to remove zinc ions from aqueous solution in this work. The various factors on influencing removal efficiency of Zn(II) were investigated, and the operational conditions were optimized using the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM). Under the optimum conditions obtained, the removal rates of Zn(II) were attained to 100.00%, 78.02%, and 17.00% by straw pith core, seedpods, and shell of rape straw, respectively. Equilibrium and kinetic models were applied to evaluate the adsorption behaviors of Zn(II) on the adsorbents. The equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm model, which indicated that the adsorption behaviors were favorably monolayer adsorption processes. The biosorption capacities of Zn(II) were 34.66 mg g-1, 36.41 mg g-1, and 36.74 mg g-1 of rape straw pith core; 23.33 mg g-1, 23.85 mg g-1, and 24.30 mg g-1 of seedpods; and 11.19 mg g-1, 11.23 mg g-1, and 11.27 mg g-1 of shell, respectively, at the various temperatures of 20 °C, 30 °C, and 40 °C based on Langmuir isotherm equation. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was well to determine the adsorption kinetics, which suggested that ion exchange were occurred during adsorption processes of Zn(II). The characteristics of adsorbents before and after adsorption of Zn(II) were measured using the methods of scanning electron microscope (SEM), zeta potential classes, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), respectively. The results provided evidences for the adsorption mechanisms of Zn(II) including electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, and functional group involvement on the three part powders of rape straw in aqueous water.

Abstract
Current research is based on an innovative approach of the fabrication of encapsulated sustainable, green, phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs), to inhibit the generation of secondary pollutants (Iron/Feo) during water treatment applications. These novel bio-magnetic membrane capsules (BMMCs) were prepared using two-step titration gel crosslink method, with polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate matrix as the model encapsulating materials to eliminate potentially toxic metals (Pb2+ and Cd2+) from water. The development of BMMCs was characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, VSM, TGA and EDX techniques. The effects of various operating parameters, adsorbent dose, contact time, solution pH, temperature, initial concentration of metals cations and co-existing ions were studied. The hysteresis loops have illustrated an excellent super-paramagnetic nature, demonstrating the smooth encapsulation of PMNPs without losing their magnetic properties. The maximum monolayer adsorptive capacities estimated at pH 6.5 by the Langmuir isotherm model were 548 and 610.67 mg/g for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. The novel BMMCs did not only control oxidation of PMNPs but also sustained the adsorptive removal over a wide range of pH (3-8), and the electrostatic interaction and ion-exchange were the core adsorption mechanisms. The BMMCs could easily be regenerated using 25% HNO3 as an eluent for successful usage in seven repeated cycles. Therefore, the BMMCs as a material can be used as an excellent sorbent or composite material to remove toxic metals Pb2+ and Cd2+, showing strong potential for improving water and wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Novel bio-magnetic membrane capsules (BMMCs) were prepared by a simple two-step titration-gel cross-linking method using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) matrix to control the disintegration of phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) in an aqueous environment, and their performance was investigated for adsorbing cationic malachite green (MG) dye from water. The prepared BMMCs were characterized by FTIR, powder XRD, SEM, EDX, XPS, VSM and TGA techniques. The findings revealed that the hysteresis loops had an excellent superparamagnetic nature with saturation magnetization values of 11.02 emu g−1. The prepared BMMCs not only controlled the oxidation of PMNPs but also improved the adsorptive performance with respect to MG dye (500 mg g−1 at 298.15 K and pH 6.5) due to the presence of a large amount of hydrophilic functional groups (hydroxyl/–OH and carboxyl/–COOH) on/in the BMMCs. The smooth encapsulation of PMNPs into the PVA–SA matrix established additional hydrogen bonding among polymer molecular chains, with improved stability, and adsorptive performance was maintained over a wide range of pH values (3–12). Importantly, the prepared BMMCs were easily regenerated just by washing with water, and they could be re-utilized for up to four (4) consecutive treatment cycles without observing any apparent dissolution of iron/Fe0 or damage to the morphology. According to the mass balance approach, an estimated amount of 100 mL of treated effluent can be obtained from 160 mL of MG dye solution (25 mg L−1) just by employing a 0.02 g L−1 adsorbent dosage. Finally, a model of BMMCs based on zero-effluent discharge was also proposed for commercial or industrial applications. The prepared BMMCs are greatly needed for improving the water/wastewater treatment process and they can be utilized as an excellent adsorbent to remove cationic pollutants for various environmental applications. Novel bio-magnetic membrane capsules were prepared by a simple two-step titration-gel cross-linking method using a polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate matrix to control the disintegration of phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles in aqueous media.![]()
