ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 259:119504. [PMID: 38945514 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
While treating zinc-containing wastewater, recovering zinc for reuse as a secondary resource has significant environmental and economic benefits. Herein, based on the alkali-activated tourmaline tailings geopolymers (TTG) after adsorption of zinc ions (Zn (II)), a series of new composites with in-situ construction ZnS nanoparticles on TTG (ZnS/TTG) were synthesized, and used as photocatalysts for the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in solution. Specifically, ZnS nanoparticles were uniformly and stably distributed in the layered structure of TTG, interweaving with each other to generate an interfacial electric field, which could induce more photocarrier generation. Meanwhile, TTG acted as an electron acceptor to accelerate the electron transfer at the interface, thus enhancing the photodegradation activity for TCH. The active radical quenching experiments combined with the ESR indicated that the active species produced during the photocatalytic degradation of TCH by ZnS/TTG composites were •O2- and photogenerated h+. When the initial concentration of Zn (II) was 60 mg/L, the synthesized 60-ZnS/TTG composites (0.5 g/L) reached 91.53% degradation efficiency of TCH (10 mg/L) at pH = 6. Furthermore, the possible pathways and mechanism of 60-ZnS/TTG composites photodegraded TCH were revealed with the aid of degraded intermediates. This report not only proposed valuable references for reusing heavy metal ions and removing TCH from wastewater, but also provided promising ideas for realizing the conversion of used adsorbents into high-efficiency photocatalysts.

BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2024; 112:33. [PMID: 38342847 DOI: 10.1007/s00128-024-03856-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Abundant iron and sulfate resources are present in acid mine drainage. The synthesis of schwertmannite from AMD rich in iron and sulfate could achieve the dual objectives of resource recovery and wastewater purification. However, schwertmannite cannot emerge spontaneously due to the Gibbs free energy greater than 0. This results in the iron and sulfate in AMD only being able to use the energy generated by oxidation in the coupling reaction to promote the formation of minerals, but this only achieved partial mineralization, which limited the remediation of AMD through mineralization. In order to clarify the mechanism of iron and sulfate removal by the formation of schwertmannite in AMD, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were crucial. This work used H2O2 oxidation of Fe2+ as a coupling reaction to promote the formation of schwertmannite from 64.4% of iron and 15.7% of sulfate in AMD, and determined that 99.7% of the iron and 89.9% of sulfate were immobilized in the schwertmannite structural, and only a small fraction was immobilized by the adsorption of schwertmannite, both of which were consistent with second-order kinetics models. The thermodynamic data suggested that reducing the concentration of excess sulfate ions or increasing the energy of the system may allow more iron and sulfate to be immobilized by forming schwertmannite. Experimental verification using the reaction of potassium bicarbonate with the acidity in solution to increase the energy in the system showed that the addition of potassium bicarbonate effectively promoted the formation of schwertmannite from Fe3+ and SO42-. It provided a theoretical and research basis for the direct synthesis of schwertmannite from Fe3+ and SO42- rich AMD for the removal of contaminants from water and the recovery of valuable resources.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 310:114743. [PMID: 35217448 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.114743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Due to the complex composition of ion-adsorbed type rare earth ore leaching solution, there are challenges in the process of rare earth (RE) separation, such as large RE loss rate, low product purity, radioactive residue and so on. In this article, 8-hydroxyquinoline modified silica gel (HQ-SiO2) and 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis(oxy)) dioctanoic acid (PPBOA) were used to form an efficient process for impurities removal and RE enrichment. Solid phase extraction successfully intercepted 96.7% of the radioactive element thorium. The concentration of aluminium was reduced to 2.14 ppm by frank chromatography. Rare earth elements were enriched from 336.35 mg/L to 237.75 g/L by extraction-precipitation, that is, the enrichment multiple reached more than 700 and the proportion of RE was increased from 21.85% to 96.62%. The loss rate of RE was controlled below 1.59%. Moreover, the magnesium salt leaching solution could be recycled for the leaching of RE ores. Although some liquid waste need to be treated in the processes of HQ-SiO2 production and regeneration, the integrated process helps to decrease volatile organic solvent, acid-base consumption, wastewater and waste residue. It is an environment-friendly RE enrichment and impurity removal process, which shows application potential in the production field of ion-adsorbed type rare earth mineral products.

Abstract
Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Abstract
A novel method for the selective removal and recovery of copper ion from copper-containing wastewater by extraction-precipitation with p-tert-octyl phenoxy acetic acid as a precipitant is presented. The morphology, thermal stability and solubility of POAA were synthesized and characterized. Then the application of POAA to precipitate copper from simulated copper-containing wastewater was studied. The effects of some factors (i.e., time, pH, temperature, dosage of precipitant) on copper precipitation efficiency (P%) and water solubility of POAA were discussed. The extraction-precipitation mechanism of POAA and Cu2+ was investigated by slope analysis combined with SEM, EDS, XPS and IR spectra. The concentration and purity of copper from industrial wastewater increased from 100.2 mg/L to 27,916 mg/L and 13.71%-93.01% respectively, treating by the proposed extraction-precipitation. Moreover, POAA revealed good stability in the recycling processes. Extraction-precipitation strategy is simple, efficient and sustainable, which can effectively reduce the volume of sludge in the process of wastewater treatment and produce copper concentrated solution with industrial value, which has revealed application potential for the clean production of copper smelting enterprises.
