Abstract
Soil contamination with heavy metals from industrial and mining activities poses significant environmental and public health risks, necessitating effective remediation strategies. This review examines the utilization of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) for bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils. Specifically, it focuses on SRB metabolic pathways for heavy metal immobilization, interactions with other microorganisms, and integration with complementary remediation techniques such as soil amendments and phytoremediation. We explore the mechanisms of SRB action, their synergistic relationships within soil ecosystems, and the effectiveness of combined remediation approaches. Our findings indicate that SRB can effectively immobilize heavy metals by converting sulfate to sulfide, forming stable metal sulfides, thereby reducing the bioavailability and toxicity of heavy metals. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including the need to optimize environmental conditions for SRB activity, address their sensitivity to acidic conditions and high heavy metal concentrations, and mitigate the risk of secondary pollution from excessive carbon sources. This study underscores the necessity for innovative and sustainable SRB-based bioremediation strategies that integrate multiple techniques to address the complex issue of heavy metal soil contamination. Such advancements are crucial for promoting green mining practices and environmental restoration.

J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 139:267-280. [PMID: 38105054 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.04.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The coexistence of cadmium (Cd(II)) and arsenate (As(V)) pollution has long been an environmental problem. Biochar, a porous carbonaceous material with tunable functionality, has been used for the remediation of contaminated soils. However, it is still challenging for the dynamic quantification and mechanistic understanding of the simultaneous sequestration of multi-metals in biochar-engineered environment, especially in the presence of anions. In this study, ferrihydrite was coprecipitated with biochar to investigate how ferrihydrite-biochar composite affects the fate of heavy metals, especially in the coexistence of Cd(II) and As(V). In the solution system containing both Cd(II) and As(V), the maximum adsorption capacities of ferrihydrite-biochar composite for Cd(II) and As(V) reached 82.03 µmol/g and 531.53 µmol/g, respectively, much higher than those of the pure biochar (26.90 µmol/g for Cd(II), and 40.24 µmol/g for As(V)) and ferrihydrite (42.26 µmol/g for Cd(II), and 248.25 µmol/g for As(V)). Cd(II) adsorption increased in the presence of As(V), possibly due to the changes in composite surface charge in the presence of As(V), and the increased dispersion of ferrihydrite by biochar. Further microscopic and mechanistic results showed that Cd(II) complexed with both biochar and ferrihydrite, while As(V) was mainly complexed by ferrihydrite in the Cd(II) and As(V) coexistence system. Ferrihydrite posed vital importance for the co-adsorption of Cd(II) and As(V). The different distribution patterns revealed by this study help to a deeper understanding of the behaviors of cations and anions in the natural environment.

Abstract
In this study, magnesium hydroxide (MH) particles with distinct morphologies were obtained through direct precipitation and subsequent hydrothermal treatment with various magnesium salts. The synthesized products were systematically characterized and utilized for the removal of Pb(ii) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process of Pb(ii) by two different MH structures, namely flower globular magnesium hydroxide (FGMH) and hexagonal plate magnesium hydroxide (HPMH), adhered to the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order model. FGMH exhibited higher Pb(ii) removal capacity (2612 mg g-1) than HPMH (1431 mg g-1), attributable to the unique three-dimensional layered structures of FGMH that provide a larger surface area and abundant active sites. Additionally, metallic Pb was obtained by recycling the adsorbed Pb(ii) through acid dissolution-electrolysis. Furthermore, Pb(ii) removal mechanisms were investigated by analyzing adsorption kinetics and isotherms, and the adsorbed products were characterized. Based on the findings, the removal process occurs in two key stages. First, Pb(ii) ions bind with OH- ions on the surface upon diffusing to the MH surface, resulting in Pb(OH)2 deposits in situ. Concurrently, Mg(ii) ions diffuse into the solution, substituting Pb(ii) ions in the MH lattice. Second, the resultant Pb(OH)2, which is unstable, reacts with CO2 dissolved in water to yield Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2. Therefore, owing to its outstanding Pb(ii) adsorption performance and simple preparation method, FGMH is a promising solution for Pb(ii) pollution.

Abstract
Arsenic-enriched wastewater (A-EW) is a hypertoxic sewage from the utilization of crude antimony oxides in lead anode slime metallurgy. In traditional methods, the H+ accumulation inhibits the arsenic immobilization during scorodite synthesis. In this study, a novel multivalent iron source comprised of Fe(OH)3 and FeSO4·7H2O was proposed to resolve the adverse effects of pH fluctuation during immobilizing A-EW as scorodite. Various approaches, such as scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were applied to characterize the synthesized scorodite. This work was divided into two parts. In thermodynamics, HnAsO4(3-n)- (n = 1, 2, 3) and Fe(OH)n(3-n)+ (n = 0, 1, 2, 3) can feasibly coprecipitate as scorodite according to their △rGm,Tθ ranged from -111.10 kJ mol-1 to -33.53 kJ mol-1. In experimental research, A-EW was immobilized as scorodite by optimizing conditions as initial pH = 2.0, molar ratio of Fe to As = 1.2, molar ratio of Fe(II) to Fe(III) = 4:6, arsenic concentration = 40 g/L, and temperature = 95 °C. The arsenic precipitation ratio is 99.60%, and the micromorphology of synthesized scorodite presents a regular octahedron having size of 5-10 μm. The low leachability of As (0.41 mg/L) in toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) confirmed that the prepared scorodite is nonhazardous. The solution pH is stable at 2.0 as the H+ depletion (0.5660 mol) by Fe(OH)3 dissolution and Fe2+ oxidization balanced with that (0.5657 mol) generated from As(V)-Fe(III) coprecipitation. In general, the A-EW was effectively immobilized by proposed multivalent iron source, and can be potentially applied to safely dispose other industrial effluents, such as high arsenic leachates and arsenic-bearing waste acid from nonferrous metallurgy.

Abstract
The treatment of wastewater containing organic pollutants has become a serious issue, and one of the advanced oxidation process, Fenton oxidation is recognized as an ideal way owing to its universality and environmental friendliness, thus efficient and economic catalysts are in great demand. Herein by incorporating Fe2+ containing compound as ligand, a tremella-like iron containing metal-organic framework (TFMOF) was synthesized with zirconium acetate and 1,1'-ferrocene-dicarboxylic acid though a facile solvothermal method. The TFMOF combined the merits of both ferrocene moiety with well dispersed Fe2+ sites in the molecular level and MOF films with large surface areas and exposed sites. And the morphology and crystal structure of TFMOF were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, employed as an effective catalyst in Fenton oxidation, over 99%, 95% and 97% of rhodamine B, methyl orange and reactive black V were rapidly degraded without the assistance of additional irradiation, and degradation conditions like pH, H2O2 and initial pollutant concentrations as well as the reaction kinetic was investigated, indicating the hydroxyl radical generated in the presence of TFMOF and H2O2 was able to degrade the pollutants into non-toxic molecular. Besides, the catalytic activity of TFMOF maintained well after three cycles. The good activity and universality of TFMOF make it a promising catalyst for the treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
Rationally designing high-performance non-noble metal electrocatalysts is of essence to improve energy conversion efficiency in water splitting. Herein, a unique 3D hierarchical sheet-on-sheet heterojunction between Fe(OH)3 and β-Ni(OH)2 on pretreated Ni foam (NiFe-HD/pre-NF) was fabricated by a two-step strategy involving the interfacial hydrolysis-deposition of Fe2+ and electrodeposition of Ni2+. The presence of the Ni-O-Fe bridge at the Fe(OH)3/β-Ni(OH)2 heterointerface can induce interfacial electronic redistribution to form Ni3+ in NiFe-HD/pre-NF, and further strengthen the adsorption of OH- and weaken the O-H bond to change the rate-determining step (RDS) for accelerating OER kinetics. Benefiting from the sheet-on-sheet architecture and dual-phase synergism on NiFe-HD/pre-NF, the optimal NiFe-HD/pre-NF exhibits excellent OER performance with a lower overpotential of 256 mV at 100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 81 mV dec-1, high intrinsic activity and robust stability. Alkaline water-splitting using NiFe-HD/pre-NF as the anode requires ultralow cell voltages of 1.62 V and 1.83 V at current densities of 100 mA cm-2 and 400 mA cm-2, respectively, which are comparable with commercial alkaline water electrolysis, and operates steadily at a current density of 100 mA cm-2 for 85 h without decay. This work proposes a facile strategy for constructing heterojunctions and modulating electronic interaction to develop electrocatalysts with new architectures.

Abstract
Textile wastewater purification is a challenging process. Conventional wastewater treatment methods either lack in efficiency, cost-effectiveness or leads to the generation of secondary pollutants. Additionally, some treatment methods are time-consuming. The research presented in the manuscript is a blend of filtration, biosorption, aeration, solar energy-assisted electrolytic precipitation, pH balance, and germicidal treatments with an aim of reducing the suspended solids, intense color, odor, pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and heavy metal content of textile effluent. Use of environmentally sustainable surface activated biosorbents derived from waste weeds Water Hyacinth (WH) and Parthenium Hysterophorus (PH) as an alternative to commercial grade Activated Charcoal (AC), comparison of adsorption capacities of proposed adsorbents against AC for effluent decolorization, the application of solar energy to run an electrolytic precipitator, and the unique sequential design of various unit processes like coarse and fine filtration, biosorption, aeration, electrolytic precipitation, pH treatment and germicidal UV-C treatment to treat the effluent are some of the novel methodologies explored in the present study. The invented process provides almost completely decolorized (about 90%-94%), particle-free and odorless treated water, with the acceptable levels of heavy metals (Lead-not detected, Arsenic-not detected, Zinc-0.5-0.8 mg/L), TDS (1,500-1,850 mg/L), COD (149-169 mg/L) pH (7.1-7.15), and EC (2.5-2.8 mMhos/cm) as some of the important parameters, fitting well within the standard pollution limits. Performance efficiency estimation and statistical modeling were done for the data using the t test and f test. The values obtained were (t = 2.78 and f = 4.99 for treated WH against AC) and (t = 3.00 and f = 5.38 for treated PH against AC at 0.05 level of significance) as an essential part of the manuscript, proving the supremacy of the proposed process to achieve the standard pollution norms. Cost-effectiveness was an integral factor addressed in the proposed design, recorded a 1.7 USD per 1,000 L of input effluent, which was well below than most of the reported studies. The invented method in the present investigation thus provides an integrated, efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution to wastewater treatment. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Effluent decolorization is about 68% in comparison with conventional activated carbon. The adsorbent was found to be three times more active than activated carbon. COD value decreased from 2,352 mg/L to about 150 mg/L on treatment with the novel adsorbent.

Abstract
The difficulty in achieving high removal efficiency for contaminants in textile wastewater over a wide range of pH impedes the progress of its treatment technique greatly. Herein, a facile and sustainable strategy was adopted for constructing magnetic ordered mesoporous polymers (M-OMPs) without the assistance of organic solvent and catalyst. The prepared M-OMPs were endowed with high special surface area and good superparamagnetism simultaneously, and exhibited high removal efficiency (>99%) for Methylene Blue (MB) within a short time (10 min) at a concentration of 50 mg/L. What's more, high removal efficiency was achieved over a wide range of pH 2-12 and the adsorption capacity for MB on M-OMPs was substantially retained even after 5 adsorption-desorption cycles, further demonstrating the application potential of M-OMPs in the decontamination of textile wastewater.

Fe(III)-activated PMS system proved very effective to eliminate 92.18% of BPA (20 mg/L) for 30-min reaction time at 0.50 mM PMS, 1.5 g/L Fe(III), pH 7.0. The maximum degradation of BPA occurred at neutral pH, while it was suppressed at both strongly acidic and alkaline conditions. Organic and inorganic ions can interfere with system efficiency either positively or negatively, so their interaction was thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, the presence of organic acids also affected BPA degradation rate, especially the addition of 10 mM citric acid decreased the degradation rate from 92.18 to 66.08%. Radical scavenging experiments showed that SO4•- was the dominant reactive species in Fe(III)/PMS system. A total of 5 BPA intermediates were found by using LC/MS. A possible degradation pathway was proposed which underwent through bridge cleavage and hydroxylation processes. Acute toxicity of the BPA degradation products was assessed using Escherichia coli growth inhibition test. These findings proved to be promising and economical to deal with wastewater using iron mineral for the elimination of organic pollutants. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
In this study, greatly enhanced Mn(II) adsorption was achieved by as-synthesized diethylenetriaminepentaacetate acid intercalated Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs-DTPA). The adsorption capacity of LDHs-DTPA was 83.5 mg/g, which is much higher than that of LDHs-EDTA (44.4 mg/g), LDHs-Oxalate (21.6 mg/g) and LDHs (28.8 mg/g). The adsorption data of aqueous Mn(II) using LDHs-DTPA could be well described by the pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamics study results also showed that the adsorption process of Mn(II) by LDHs-DTPA was exothermic as indicated by the negative ΔH value. Furthermore, based on the structural, morphological and thermostable features, as well as FT-IR and XPS characterizations of LDHs-DTPA and the pristine LDHs, the adsorption mechanism of Mn(II) was proposed. The carboxyl groups of DTPA were proposed to be the main binding sites for Mn(II), and the hydroxyl groups of LDHs also played a minor role in the adsorption process. Among the three common regeneration reagents, 0.1 mol/L Na2CO3 was the best for reusing LDHs-DTPA in Mn(II) adsorption. Besides, the Mn(II) adsorption performance could be hindered in the presence of typical inorganic ions, especially cations. Further specific modifications of LDHs-DTPA are suggested to get more selective adsorption of Mn(II) in practical applications.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2019; 291:121858. [PMID: 31377515 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.121858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2019] [Revised: 07/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The improved performances during anaerobic degradation of phenol to methane with Fe(OH)3 were usually inapparent, due to its lower solubility (unaccessible to dissimilatory iron reduction) and more positive reduction potential of Fe(III)/Fe(II) (unfavorable for enriching Fe(III)-reducing bacteria [IRBs]). In this study, citrate, the organic chelates, were used to solubilize Fe(III) with the aim of improving the phenol degradation and declining the reduction potential of Fe(III)/Fe(II). Results showed that, in the co-occurrence of citrate and Fe(OH)3, the degradation rates of phenol were about 1.3-fold rapider than that with sole Fe(OH)3. Analysis of cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that the reduction potential of Fe(III)/Fe(II) in the form of Fe(OH)3 (-0.41 to -0.28 V vs Ag/AgCl) declined to -0.61 to -0.41 V. As a result, the Fe(III)-reducing genera, such as Petrimonas and Shewanella, which held a great potential of proceeding syntrophic metabolism via direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), were significantly enriched.

Abstract
The massive amount of sludge generated by the classic Fenton process, which has often been hypothesized to consist of ferric hydroxide, remains a major obstacle to its large-scale application. Therefore, reutilization of Fenton sludge has recently gained more attention. Understanding the formation, transformation, and properties of Fenton sludge combined with the stages of the Fenton reaction is pivotal, but not well illustrated yet. In this study, SEM-EDS, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS were applied to study the morphology, crystallinity, elemental composition, and valence state of Fenton sludge. The authors report that schwertmannite and 2-line ferrihydrite were generated and transformed in the oxidation phase and the neutralization phase of the Fenton process. SO42- in the solution decreased by 8.7%-26.0% at different molar ratios of Fe(II) to H2O2; meanwhile, iron ion precipitated completely at pH 3.70 with the formation of schwertmannite containing sulfate groups in the Fenton sludge. The structural sulfate (Fe-SO4) in schwertmannite was released from the precipitate with the addition of OH-, and the production of Fenton sludge decreased with increasing pH when pH > 3.70. Goethite was found to form when the final pH was adjusted to 12 or at a reaction temperature of 80°C. Moreover, the possible thermal transformation to goethite and hematite indicated that Fenton sludge can be reused as a raw material for synthesizing more stable iron (hydro)oxides. The results provide useful insights into the formation and transformation of Fenton sludge, with implications for regulating the crystal type of Fenton sludge for further reuse.

Abstract
In this study, mineral nutrient and heavy metal (Al, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn) contents of the walnut kernels and their co-located soil samples collected from the four different zones of natural walnut forests (Sary-Chelek, Arslanbap, and Kara-Alma in Jalal-Abad Region and Kara-Shoro in Osh Region) in Kyrgyzstan were investigated. The highest concentrations for all elements determined in the soil samples were observed in the Sary-Chelek zone whereas the Arslanbap zone was found to be having the lowest concentrations except Fe and Zn. The highest concentrations in the kernels of walnut samples were found to be in the Sary-Chelek zone for Ca, Fe, K, Mg, and Zn; in the Kara-Shoro zone for Cu; in the Arslanbap zone for Mn; and in the Kara-Alma zone for Na whereas the lowest concentrations were found to be in the Arslanbap zone for Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn and in the Sary-Chelek zone for Cu and Mn, respectively. Also, the levels of Al, Cd, Ni, and Pb in kernel samples could not be detected by ICP-OES because their levels were lower than the threshold detection point (10 μg.kg-1). Additionally, our data indicated that the walnut kernels from Kyrgyzstan have higher values for RDA (recommended daily allowances) in comparison with the walnut kernels from other countries.
